=== [[Literature]] ===
* From ''[[Discworld/Guards! Guards!|Guards Guards]]'' by [[Terry Pratchett]]: "They felt, in fact, thoroughly bucked up, which was likely how Lady Sybil would have put it and ''definitely'' several letters of the alphabet shy of how they normally felt." Cue "buck" being used as a common [[Unusual Euphemism]] by [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|FIM's]] [[Periphary Demographic]].

=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* The mere existence of "bronies" makes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmIfGqPS41o this scene] from the pilot for ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' where Terrence gets threatened by a bunch of [[Real Men Wear Pink|pastel-colored male unicorns]] even funnier. "Youse thinks we're goily, huh?!"
** Even funnier is that [[Lauren Faust]] worked on that show as well
*** Even more hilarious when you find out who voiced [[Tara Strong|Terrence.]]
Line 104:
* In 2006, American Greetings relaunched its [[Care Bears]] line, featuring a new bear named Oopsy. He doesn't really have a belly badge yet, and he's silly as heck, and clumsy to the point of always crashing into things. Fast forward four years. His voice actor was called onboard to voiced a pair of ponies. How does this two relate? <ref>Ashleigh Ball, Oopsy's voice actor, plays Applejack and Rainbow Dash in the show. One known in the past for being a silly pony (and still is a little silly in the present), and the other known to randomly crash into things in this new continuity. Adding to this was the fact that some fans actually confusing Applejack and Rainbow Dash's gender and thought they were male ponies before the series premiered- Oopsy is a male Care Bear. And oh, how does a Care Bear get his or her belly badge? The same way a pony gets his or her Cutie Mark. And both Oopsy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are still searching for theirs. Also, Hasbro buying back the master Care Bear license from Play Along Toys and announcing their intention to revamp the Care Bears franchise again shortly before the ''MLP:FiM'' relaunch. Long string of strange coincidences? Yeah.</ref>
* Try not to snicker when you consider the ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' episode "Wade, You're Afraid" [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|is about a flightless coward trying to overcome his cowardliness, and involves a bull.]]
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' episode "The Schlubs" opens with Grim watching Billy's ''My Troubled Pony'' DVDs and actually enjoying it. That episode first aired five years before ''Friendship is Magic''
* On October 9, 2010, a season 2 episode of ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' had [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwOC4ViZEU0 this scene] that was intended as a joke about Private being...odd. ONE DAY LATER...
* In a 2000 episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Milhouse is revealed to have an old [[My Little Pony]] blanket. To make things funnier, a contributor to the Simpsons Archive episode capsule commented that the toys "were babyish for Milhouse" and "marketed to little girls to boot."
