----
== General Memes ==
* "[[You Will Be Assimilated|WELCOME TO THE HERD]]" <ref>
* "[[I Need a Freaking Drink|CONFOUND THESE PONIES, THEY DRIVE ME TO DRINK!]]" <ref>Usually accompanied by [[media:
* "[https://web.archive.org/web/20120801231631/http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/202 ...in my hooves, on my head, in my saddlebags... in my mouth!]" <ref>
* SECRET BUTT FUN <ref>
** Scary butt fun!<ref>
* [http://bronibooru.mlponies.com/post/show/2565/ Gyro Bowls].
* "SHOO BE DOO" <ref>Originated from the G1 ''My Little Pony'' song "''[http://youtu.be/P4TedkQP_hM Call Upon the Sea Ponies]''". A nonsensical comment to anything involving sea ponies usually fan work or discussions. Usually another user will post a follow-up comment with the song's second line: "SHOO SHOO BE DOO".</ref>
* Not so much a meme about the show as about the fandom: It's become something of a tradition among [[Periphery Demographic|male fans]] to advertise their gender, age, and (sometimes) occupation in the comments section of the episodes posted on Youtube, often immediately followed by stating the name of a favorite pony or a general, "... and I love this show!"
** A common variation is to comment on one of the earlier, but not the first ten, episodes, stating something along the lines of "why am I still watching this?".
* I am gonna LOVE and TOLERATE the SHIT outta you.
** [[Hypocritical Humor|"Love and tolerance" my ass!]] <ref>Unfortunately, it's also becoming a [[Discredited Meme]] due to overuse as an [[Your Answer to Everything|answer for everything]].</ref>
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4M5m-V9Zp0 STOP FAPPING TO HORSES] <ref>
** I can/can't clop to this.
** FiM is technically furry <ref>
* Thanks to the infamous "[[I Read It for the Articles|I watch it for the plot]]" [http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp241/C-Money017/My_little_pony_ass.jpg image macro], "plot" has become a popular euphemism for pony rump.
** Pony variations of the DAT ASS meme include DAT PLOT, DAT FLANK, and DAT CUTIE MARK.
Line 27:
* Fans have copied the [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]] instances from the show, and created more of their own. In particular, it is almost ''required'' for "anypony", "everypony" and variants to be used amongst fans, even when not referring to the characters.
* "My Little [X]" <ref>A word play on the main title where the word "pony" is replaced with another kind of animal or creature. Words other than an animal are usually used in crossovers or practically anything.</ref>
** "Friendship Is [X]" / "[X] Is Magic".
** "AND X MAKES IT ALL COMPLETE!" <ref>
* [[Oh My Gods|Thank Celestia]] [[Creator Worship|for Lauren Faust]] <ref>
* "Can you do that? Can you explode twice?!" <ref>
* And then nothing sexual happened at all. The end.
** And then everything sexual happened. The end.
* Truth Flower <ref>
** In the same vein, there's also a YouTube video of [[Ace Attorney|Miles Edgeworth]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggJLcPWvsZE cross-examining Pinkie Pie's "testimony"] from the episode in question.
* "They know!" <ref>A common reaction to any time the show appears to be making a [[Fandom Nod]], coincidental or not.</ref>
* "Bedroom eyes", taking a screenshot while a character is blinking their eyes and catching them half-lidded. The result is an expression that looks coy when taken out of context (as the Internet is often eager to do).
** The phrase had become memetic ''waaay'' before ponies, mind, but the nature of Flash animation's keyframing makes it particularly easy to abuse in this show.
* A metric ton of reaction images on the whole, but most notably by far the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103113657/http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/shrugpony/1 ponyshrug.] Began with an innocent [http://megasweet.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=120#/d36gbwv Pinkie Pie,] and quickly exploded. Ponyshrugs may now be found of nearly the entire cast, as well as of original characters, and even ponified versions of characters from other works.
* A [http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/131034 fancomic]{{Dead link}} that was made to look like an official German magazine comic has spawned a couple memes of its own:
** Terry.
** "Around the zebras, never relax!" <ref>King Zebra was the evil mastermind. After putting him to prison, Rainbow Dash comments that zebras can never be trusted, referencing black race stereotypes and treatment. The meme itself is a travestation of "Around the blacks, never relax!"</ref>
** [[My Friends and Zoidberg|"All my friends are here. And Applejack is here too."]]
* "[X] IS NOW CANON" <ref>Due to the fandom's tendency to turn the smallest comment or frame of animation into a massive meme, their tendency to think of many of these memes as canon, and the recent surge in some of these memes actually ''becoming'' canon, it has become popular to take a screencap of an episode, come up with some far-flung fan theory, and end with ''"[X] is now canon"'' where [X] is the topic in question. [http://chzbronies.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-fus-roh-yay.png Example]{{Dead link}}.</ref>
* Tara Strong is best pony.
* Pony hell.
* "IT WAS CHANGELINGS!" <ref>In the second season finale "A Canterlot Wedding", the series introduces changelings, evil [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|shapeshifters]] who [[Emotion Eater|feed on love]]. Since then, changelings have been used to explain, a la [[Ancient Aliens]] and conspiracy theories, the various versions of characters appearing within the fandom such as Princess Molestia ([http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4831255/ which was originally conceptualized as a succubus who copied Princess Celestia's appearance]) as an alternative to using the explanation that they came from an alternate reality of some sort, characters acting [[Out of Character]] within the show or fan work (especially) such as ''[[
* "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140406074926/http://veggie55.deviantart.com/ Veggie55] brought me here": more of a [[Real Life]] [[Running Gag]] than anything. With the end of Season 2, the [[Deviant ART]] artist Veggie55 has taken to making short comic strips based of scenes from popular tv shows like ''[[Father Ted]]'' and ''[[Family Guy]]''. In the comments section for each, he usually links to the video, which leads to his legion of fans watching it, liking it, and getting the top rated comments, most of them referencing the comic (something which non-bronies would not understand).

== Crossover Memes ==
* [[Crossover|Crossing]] ''Friendship Is Magic'' with anything and everything has become a meme all of its own. ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' (''[[Better Living Through Science and Ponies]]'' and plenty of other fics), ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' (endless Gmod works with both casts), ''[[Touhou]]'' ([[Touhou/

Line 57:
** In regards to the ponies on Gmod, there's also EPPALJECK, the name given to [[Uncanny Valley|the creepy beta version]] of the Applejack rag-doll. She is [[Nightmare Fuel]] incarnate, and pretty much the ''Friendship is Magic'' equivalent of Vagineer and Painis Cupcake.
** '''[[No Indoor Voice|Objection!]]''' Why didn't you testify to the fact that there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUDfoZGhLjE three] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s07W4-A7HQw parts] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIvfwJTPK_0 of a four-part crossover] with [[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]] are currently available on [[YouTube]]?

* The Engineer is a Spy!<ref>explanation: Crossovers between [[Team Fortress 2]] and MLP:FiM are very popular. In these crossovers, Applejack is usually the Engineer and Rarity is usually the Spy. In "Sisterhooves Social", {{spoiler|Rarity disguises herself as Applejack by covering herself in mud and wearing Applejack's hat.}}</ref>
** Going with the "Princess Cadence is X" meme below, there's {{spoiler|"Cadence is Spy!"}}<ref>explanation: Queen Chrysalis' plan of {{spoiler|absorbing Shining Armor's love by posing as Cadence would inevitably lead to comparisons to the Spy}}</ref>

* Two of Equestria Daily's most well-known moderators, Cereal Velocity and Sethisto, have a serious thing for unicorns. Cereal firmly believes that "Rarity is the best pony!", while Sethisto firmly believes that "Trixie is the best pony"! The unicorn-love extends to their newest blogger Phoe, who runs the Artist Training Grounds and seems to have a serious crush on Lyra Heartstrings. Pretty much every ATG day has at least a few drawings referencing her obsession with Lyra using that day's theme. And now we have [http://i55.tinypic.com/6z6j9w.jpg this].

* Ask Tumblrs / "Ask [X]" / "[X] Answers" <ref>A series of Tumblr art blog/role play accounts where people can ask a particular character in the show as if the characters themselves are answering them through a Tumblr account.

Aside from Derpy Hooves and her [[Fish Eyes]] in the first episode, "Applebuck Season" brings us [https://web.archive.org/web/20120625124706/http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/32160 Rainbow Dash's] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110907153147/http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/6335 gushing kissy-face] (along with the accompanying phrase "So ''awesome!''" and the emoticon "'''/)^3^(\'''") and Applejack's various loopy sleep-deprived faces, along with her look of disgust when she mishears the "wheat germ" part of Pinkie Pie's muffin recipe as "wheat worms", and "The Best Night Ever" brings [https://web.archive.org/web/20120624084403/http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/11103 "Flutterage"].
** As of Season 2, there has been an abundance of [[Uncanny Valley]]-ish expressions whenever a pony's head is looking directly at the camera. Ponibooru calls it the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120731074849/http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/FAIC/1 FAIC].
* [X] IS BEST PONY <ref>A common way of expressing one's favor for a particular character. The omission of the word "the" is intentional. However, often used when [X] isn't a pony at all (like Spike or Gilda), or is a character from a completely different work (like Magneto) which still isn't a pony.</ref>
** "Silly anon, that's not how you spell 'Pinkie Pie!'" <ref>
*** Another response is "You misspelled Fluttershy."
* A few image macros pop up with some of the characters looking at the viewer asking for [[Cuddle Bug|'hugs']]. [[Cuteness Proximity|Sometimes it can work]], [[Tastes Like Diabetes|when done right]].
* Ponies. In. Socks.
** Sweaters are the new socks.
** Minty liked socks before they were cool.<ref>
* "Congratulations, X! You're the new Y!" <ref>A play on the original line "Congratulations, Spike! You're the new Rainbow Dash!" Examples include "Congratulations, Pinkie Pie! You're the new Scootaloo!" in response to Pinkie's chicken costume in "Luna Eclipsed" and "Congratulations, Twilight! You're the new Rarity!" in response to Apple Bloom giving Twilight's mane the same style as Rarity's in "The Cutie Pox".</ref>
* CELESTIA, [[Magnificent Bastard|YOU MAGNIFICENT MARE!]] ''YOU READ MY LETTERS!'' <ref>
* Good morning, [X]! <ref>A series of pieces by [http://johnjoseco.deviantart.com/ this artist] depicting various characters shortly after waking up. Other artists have since joined in on the theme.</ref>
* "Lock it under a rock, I'm sure it won't get out." <ref>
** Many fans exaggerate this by making it her go-to solution for ''anything'' she doesn't like.
* [PONY] found a [VEHICLE] <ref>
* [[Rule 63|Colt versions]].
** At least [http://www.youtube.com/user/philsterman10 one] Youtuber has taken it a step further, not only voice acting as the colts, but changing their dialog to be more male-specific (for example, Elusive designs suits instead of dresses and wants to find a princess rather than a prince charming, to which [[Your Mileage May Vary|viewer reception varies]]). Think [[Suzumiya Haruhi no Seitenkan|The Gender-Flip of Haruhi Suzumiya]], only with ponies.
*** And this itself has spawned a VA project that seeks to voice the Genderswapped Mane Six to use as a live reading for the story "[[On A Cross And Arrow]]" which popularized the Male Cast. The casting call can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsqZJ8TxSGc here], the accepted voice list can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWs7qmWiEkU here], a demo of the accepted voices can be heard [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0DYX1IYe2s here] and the first episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ggSrYShCk0 here].

* Spinning Turntable Ponies <ref>An animated pixel art gif trend where a filly version of a pony is shown riding on a spinning turntable. Most of these can be found [http://mammoh.deviantart.com/gallery/ here] and [http://tomdantherock.deviantart.com/gallery/ here].</ref>
** The trend originated from a popular Vinyl Scratch gif that came from [http://fav.me/d486hs2 here] (the links below the image provides [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/Valcron/TAVI.png a comic version], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/Valcron/TurnTabletemplate.png a template for the frames], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/Valcron/ScratchonRecord-1.gif the animated gif], [http://youtu.be/fz1rfOn4IAU a Youtube video], and [http://fav.me/d4dz6y0 a vectorized version]).
* [X] Cannon/Bazooka/Launcher <ref>An art trend of ponies wielding large shoulder mounted cannons/bazookas/launchers. Color scheme of the cannon and its ammunition depends on its wielder. Originated from one of a series of ''FiM'' themed weapons created by Flamingo1986. One of which was called the "[http://fav.me/d3gluka Pinkie Pie Launcher]". Other artists later edited Pinkie Pie herself holding the launcher [http://fav.me/d3hk22m\]{{Dead link}} and it soon spread to other characters as well.</ref>
** Party Cannon.
* Wet manes.
* Baby ponies.
* Smooth Cheerilee / Spike Criminal <ref>A fair number of people have noticed how the [[Nice Hat]] Cheerilee gives Spike in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* Fluffy ponies <ref>A trending art meme where ponies are drawn with thicker and fluffier fur.</ref>
** Fluffle Puff <ref>[http://fav.me/d4l5y4r The OC] that started (or at least popularized) the whole fluffy pony meme. Later became a recurring character in an [[Original Flavour]] crossover [[Ask a Pony|Ask Tumblr]] of [[Dan Vs.]] called ''[http://dan-vs-fim.tumblr.com/ "Dan Vs. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"]'' and starred in her own mini-game called ''[http://fav.me/d4rcb9h "GO FAST"]''.</ref>
** Fluffy pony drowns <ref>
*** Fluffy pony abuse <ref>
*** Now, let it be known that such stories has caused a bit of [[Creator Backlash]] from Mixermike662, the creator of Fluffle Puff and the man who popularized the Fluffy Ponies concept to begin with. And by "Creator Backlash", I mean ''they caused him to disown the fandom.''
* Beep beep. I'm a cloud.
* "[CHARACTER NAME]''licious''" <ref>explanation With the popularity of ''Twilightlicious'', derivatives began popping up such as ''[http://youtu.be/Xs9-N16CkNs Flutterlicious]'', ''[http://youtu.be/9Y8-EgHM18k Derpalicious]'', ''[http://youtu.be/uvRjFZJcTdQ Lyralicious]'' and ''[http://youtu.be/YW_tnVZltGQ Rarilicious]''</ref>
* Ponytails.<ref>explanation:The manes of characters are made in a ponytail style. Possibly made simply because of how silly it looks when you [[Visual Pun|think about it]].</ref>

* Twilight's speech in "Applebuck Season" getting interrupted inspired a lot of comparisons to [[Interrupting Meme|Kanye West at the Video Music Awards]]. "Yo, Twilight, I'm really happy for you, and I'ma let you finish, but Applejack is the best pony of all time!"
* Oh God, Twilight's about to miss a deadline! RUN! <ref>
* "Hi, ''giirrllss!''" <ref>
** The face she made immediately before also gave rise to a lot of exploitable images. Not that the episode isn't already full of weird faces otherwise.
* Twilight Snapple/Twilight Psycho <ref>In "Lesson Zero", Twilight begins to lose her grip on sanity, complete with creepy facial expressions, eventually coming to the point that it looks almost as if she's stalking the CMC.</ref>
** Pedopony
* My Little Pet Twilight Sparkle <ref>A meme in a similar fashion to "Lyra wants hands" (See "Background Pony Memes"). It's about Twilight Sparkle wanting to be qualified as Rainbow Dash's pet. She's usually depicted with a leash to symbolize her "dedication". It came from [http://youtu.be/i9hpX1SfPiQ a line] in the episode "May the Best Pet Win" where Rainbow Dash explains to Twilight Sparkle why she can never be qualified to be her pet.

** Given the reactions (both ways) from her Twitters (typically, stating something along the lines of "Here's a picture of me naked", attached to a tasteful photo of one of the clothes-less characters she voices), Tara's even called out these acts as [[Troll|Twolling]].
** [[The Merch]] now includes an official ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131203162937/http://www.welovefine.com/2050-twilightlicious.html Twilightlicious]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130420145005/http://www.welovefine.com/2078-twilightlicious.html T-shirt].
* The teaser clip for "It's About Time", which featured a [[My Future Self and Me|time-traveling Twilight]] wearing a [[Future Badass|tattered jumpsuit and eyepatch with a disheveled mane]], has inspired a LOT of crossovers with various [[After the End]] or [[Bad Future]] works such as ''[[Terminator]]'' and ''[[Escape from New York]]''.
** Also with ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', as she looks uncannily similar to Naked Snake.

* In ''The Return Of Harmony: Part II'', the shot of a smug Applejack bringing up Rarity's brief fling with "Tom" has been used by fans for various clever one-liners in image macros for different ways to one-up Rarity.
* A minor, but interesting one: fans asking, "[[Alternate Universe Fic|What if she decided to embrace sophistication when]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|staying with the Oranges in Manehattan?]]" The result: [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/orangejack/1 Orangejack.]{{Dead link}}
* Applejack's Episode.
** And then the episode was remembered not for Applejack, but for a certain fan favorite background character appearing throughout the opener, and actually talking. At least the following episode mostly focused on AJ, though in the context of her family and, again, being partially upstaged by the characters of the week.
