Line 30:
* Also from the pilot, Twilight Sparkle's [[Fire-Breathing Diner|mane and tail turn into fire thanks to drinking hot sauce.]] Fast forward to the high point of "Feeling Pinkie Keen"...
* "[[Memetic Mutation|Rainbow Dash always dresses in style]]!" While this is true for the [[The Fashionista|G3 Rainbow Dash]], this is [[Out of Character|completely contrary]] to the [[Tomboy|tomboyish]] one of this show. This is because the ''Friendship is Magic'' Rainbow Dash is simply [[My Little Pony TV Specials|Firefly]], an equally energetic pegasus who loved to fly, with Rainbow Dash's colors.
** But then there's that preppy outfit she wore in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** The garish outfit Fashion Style Rainbow Dash ships with. Dresses in Style indeed.
* In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]", one of the pegasus bullies tells Rainbow Dash that she should get herself some wings like Rarity's. [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/glimmer-wings-rainbow-dash.html Almost six months later], the first image of the ''[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=C2D7D92A-5056-900B-1014-E122BBE206E2 Glimmer Wings Rainbow Dash]'' toy was leaked.
* Before the show, a "pink pony" was (and still is, admittedly) associated with trippy hallucinations, a crazy person, or a [[Non Sequitur Thud]] from someone who is just knocked out. Then in prances Pinkie Pie...
* In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|The Cutie Mark Chronicles]]", Rarity finds a big rock and is underwhelmed by it. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXoYK4b_q24 This] [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]], which was actually inspired by the ''[[Transformers]]'' and ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' movies, and predates FiM by ''about a year''.
* In August 2011, a fanfic called [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/story-writers-block_17.html Writer's Block] was released that revolved around Twilight Sparkle having trouble coming up with a friendship lesson to send to Princess Celestia. Then came the season 2 episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** Similarly, one fanfic submitted for Equestria Daily's "April Foal's" contest was [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/story-big-dragon.html "Big Dragon"], in which Spike grows humongous overnight, gives in to his draconic hoarding instincts, and engages in a ''[[King Kong]]'' homage with Rarity in the Fay Wray role. This was published about eight months before [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** The fanfic [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/story-fluttersertive.html Fluttersertive] was written well before [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* Someone [http://bb-shockwave.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Trek-204175567 ponified] [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Q and Picard]] well before Discord was revealed.
* Fan-favorite background pony [[Fan Nickname|Carrot Top]] has a pretty epic scene in "Over a Barrel" where she jumps out of a building and kicks buffalo ass like an action movie star. In the Blind Bag toyline, she (or a pony with a similar appearance) was given the name [[wikipedia:Golden Harvest|Golden Harvest]]. It's fitting if you think about it.
* Speaking of the official toys, the ''[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=7556E7C3-5056-900B-1045-4A51D6ACBEC0 Riding Along with Rainbow Dash]'' toy was released well before the first airing of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* One fan made a [http://raccoonrat.deviantart.com/art/Custom-Lyra-251840918 custom Lyra Heartstrings toy] by repainting a Twilight Sparkle toy, almost three months before [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OkG89cXpxjE/TrHUJ5HKcJI/AAAAAAAARqs/TMz21_os7lY/1.jpg Lyra's first official toy] was first glimpsed.
* At the end of "Lesson Zero", Spike tries to add a postscript to the Mane Six's joint letter to Celestia that he didn't need to learn the lesson of the day. At the end of "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", Applejack actually ''does'' send a letter to Celestia stating that she didn't need to learn anything from the events of that episode.

== [[Fan Works]] ==
* [[Fallout Equestria]] is a Friendship is Magic fan-fic set after My Little Pony's equivalent of a nuclear war, written before season 2. Fast forward to this scene in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=972qIWbuAfs Lesson Zero]...
** Also predicted [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== [[Film]] ==
Line 75:
* An April 2010 story arc of ''[[Doonesbury]]'' beginning [http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2010/04/26 here] that heavily involved a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Pinkie Pie, considering the facts that Doonesbury is a very serious strip, and a mere 6 months afterwards, ''Friendship Is Magic'' premiered.
* In [http://www.gocomics.com/mycage/2011/02/28 one issue] of ''[[My Cage]]'', Norm tried to make something girls and boys would be interested in by making "Cute Force", made of several overly butch versions of popular girl's toys from [[The Eighties]]. One is "My Little War Horse", showing a little pony in robotic military gear. Fast-forward to 2011 and the Brony movement...
* A ''[[FoxTrot]]'' comic from the 2000s had Jason playing with Paige's [[Barbie]] doll as "[[Indiana Jones|Indiana Barbie]]" so he could do things like crush it with the garage door, crush it with a large ball, and feed it to "The Iguana Of Doom" (Quincy). This predicted [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== [[Stand Up Comedy]] ==
Line 101:
* Way back in 2001, there was a little series that ran on PBS called [[Dragon Tales]]. In it, we have Emmy and Cassie, girl and dragon. Emmy would ride Cassie one an episode. Now, fast forward to 2010. Fluttershy was revealed to be afraid of dragons, except Spike because he's so tiny. Emmy = Andrea Libman = Fluttershy. Also, Cassie happens to be the youngest dragon in the dragon main characters group.
* 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 ''<nowiki>MLP:FiM</nowiki>'' 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
* ''[[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...
