** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgBZ_SnAuk4 "And that's how Equestria was made!"] <ref>This is how Pinkie Pie ends her cutie mark story in "Cutie Mark Chronicles". While the Cutie Mark Crusaders brush it off as "Pinkie Pie being [[Cloudcuckoolander|Pinkie Pie]]", fans have joked that somehow, someway, Pinkie Pie really ''is'' responsible for the creation/foundation of Equestria. Others just joke that Pinkie would end her rendition of the Equestrian [[Creation Myth]] with "...and that's how I got my cutie mark!"</ref>
** Pinkie's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gRgE3zabIY "Parasprite Polka"] from "Swarm of the Century" is gaining more and more fame.
* ''[[Cupcakes]]'' <ref>An incredibly infamous, gore-riddled [[Fanfic]] (someone on Equestria Daily compared it to ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'') that has wormed its way into a permanent spot in the collective fandom consciousness. Much like ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' fans and ''Squad Broken'', mentioning "cupcakes" without any context is likely to make some fans suffer horrible flashbacks.</ref>
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxfz8-ZmRu4 IT'S BEEN ANIMATED.]
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7qgHWrHNA&feature=watch_response TWICE.]
Line 42:
** Atomic Rainboom <ref>"Lesson Zero" had Rainbow Dash demolish a barn with a Sonic Rainboom-like move which made a mushroom cloud.</ref>
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwyIR598a_s RAINBOW DASH ALWAYS DRESSES IN STYLE.] <ref>A video showing G4 Rainbow Dash reacting to her cutesy, ultra-girly G3.5 incarnation. It inspired similar videos featuring Scootaloo, Cheerilee, Pinkie Pie, and Sweetie Belle, all of whom share names with G3 ponies.</ref>
* Rainbow Dash has balsa-wood wings.<ref>''The'' most common source of [[Hurt /Comfort Fic]] for this fandom is fanfic in which Rainbow Dash breaks her wings (which actually happens in the Canadian live show, though not onstage). It's reached the point where Equestria Daily has jokingly banned this sort of fic outright.</ref>
** Exactly how canon this is has been zig-zagging wildly during Season 2. At first her "Atomic Rainboom" scene (see above) essentially nullified all of them. Later during "May the Best Pet Win!", Dash gets the tip of one wing pinned under a boulder and later has to have it bandaged up after being freed. This either gave the fics some credibility again, or killed them off for good, depending on how you look at it (her wings ''aren't'' immune to damage, but she only needed a bandage after a ''boulder'' fell on one of them). In "Read it and Weep," she does in fact break a wing, giving the fics credibility again, but again she walks it off in under a week, and while she certainly wasn't happy about the incident she was more grumpy than "[[Hurt /Comfort Fic|traumatized]]".
* Rainbow Dash dyes her mane <ref>A fan art trend where Rainbow Dash is drawn dying her mane rainbow using either [http://fav.me/d3enmqv a can of rainbow paint] or [http://fav.me/d4c8oc6 hair dye] or [http://fav.me/d3d30d0 bathing] in a [http://fav.me/d4fkplh pool of rainbow] such as the ones seen on the episode "Sonic Rainboom".</ref>
** Even a ''fanfic'' was [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/story-terrible-secret.html written] about it.
Line 69:
* Fightershy / Flutterninja / Flutterzangief.<ref>Fluttershy wrestling with a bear in "Lesson Zero" (even if she was actually giving it a chiropractic massage). It didn't take long for the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' and ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' inspired [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/72192?search=fluttershy images] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKdHiYxTZn8 videos] to come out</ref>
* Fluttershy's [[Hidden Depths]].<ref>In the episode "Suited For Success" Fluttershy [[Motor Mouth|rather quickly]] points out the flaws in Rarity's dress (before quickly reverting to her usual timid self), despite not showing any obvious knowledge about dressmaking previously. This has been reused in fanfics, showing Fluttershy's [[Hidden Depths]] about pretty much everything she does, before going shy again and saying something along the lines of "But, you know, however you do it is fine..."</ref>
* Fluttershy crying over Philomena's [[Disney Death]] in "A Bird in the Hoof" inspired a string of pics in which she is seen watching a sad or touching scene (like the death of [[Bambi]]'s mother, the death of [[Final Fantasy VII|Aerith]], or the ending of ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3''). A less popular version is where she actually ''smiles'', basically watching anything to make her happy instead (or for those with a cruel sense of humor, something that starts out looking innocent, like the movie adaptation of ''[[Watership Down]]'' or an episode of ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'').
** Later expanded to manipulated images depicting ''any'' character reacting differently to ''anything'', such as Twilight enjoying an educational program like ''[[Bill Nye the Science Guy]]'', Applejack being disgusted by a B-movie or reality TV , Rainbow Dash watching an action movie, Spike watching Anime/Sentai/ giant robot or monster shows, or Derpy Hooves watching something downright surreal.
** There briefly existed a variant with Pinkie Pie having phone calls with other characters, such as [[The Critic|Jay Sherman]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV|Niko Bellic]] or [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Captain Picard]].
