Description

Obviously Rule of Funny was in effect for the actual scene (as well as Overly Pre-Prepared Gag), since the whole prospect of Rainbow Dash standing for two days straight inside a snowman, while funny, is unrealistic: In real life she would have gotten frostbite, she would be fatigued from not eating or sleeping, someone like her SHOULD have been bored out of her skull standing still doing nothing for so long, and of course, without any trips to the bathroom she would have wet herself at least twice.
 
While she probably unrealistically stayed dry as of canon as fictional characters often do in similar situations (like how the ponies somehow never had to pee once while locked up by Starlight due to lack of desperation or puddles), it is fun for me to imagine she did wet herself there (that she was THAT determined for a sneak attack, plus she could have drank energy drinks to stay awake while just enduring the cold and hunger, which of course would make her need to go more), especially since later in the episode she uses going to the bathroom as an excuse to find a present for Fluttershy last minute.
 
Alternately one could imagine her holding it for two days then wetting her pants when the snowball hit her. (I imagine she’s wearing her skintight black pants underneath her snow pants)
 
Who knows, they did show Fleur at the back of a bathroom line looking desperate not too long ago…

There are two more ways the situation is so absurd you have to call Rule of Funny for all aspects, and thus, canonically, a wetting is VERY unlikely. (Still going to headcanon of course but it’s likely not official canon)
 
Firstly, you’d think Rainbow Dash would want in on more of the action in a snowball fight of this magnitude. (Along similar lines of the “There’s no way she’d be able to stand still doing nothing for even an hour”)
 
Second, someone else pointed this out recently, but the fact that she hid inside the snowman two days ago for this sneak attack (which, btw, she loudly announced before throwing the snowball, defeating the whole purpose of a sneak attack) shows that the snowball fight was planned some time in advance. And yet, Pinkie completely forgot or was otherwise oblivious to it.

But if we do take a more realistic approach to it… maybe she even messed her snow pants (and skintight pants underneath)…
 
Anyone who doesn’t want that, just apply Rule of Funny and fiction physics.

Of course so much else about the situation makes no sense. Even with my explanations above, how did she not get bored doing nothing for so long, and how did no one notice her mysterious absence?

It is funny though, a while back I wrote a story about the Equestria Girls camping out in an ice cave or something (which was mainly a snow pants wetting story as they didn’t have anywhere else to pee and didn’t think it through), but I never submitted it anywhere because I thought a winter campout was too stretchy (having never heard of one before), but maybe not so stretchy now I know it is actually a thing?

It got so cold someone drove four hours out and back in to go buy a pile of space heaters, then tarped off an incredible fire hazard of a pavilion tent. Spent the rest of the campout huddling in that by the space heaters, refilling the generator outside, and drinking hot cocoa with instant oatmeal. He was fine, though some of the jerkier people in the troop called him Yellow Snow for a few weeks.

If you get too cold, you actually start needing to pee more. A guy I knew wet himself on a cold-weather campout and didn’t even notice until it soaked through to the air and he felt the cold. It’s a sign of mild to moderate hypothermia.
