** [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.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxfz8-ZmRu4 IT'S BEEN ANIMATED.]

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7qgHWrHNA&feature=watch_response TWICE.]

* Many of Pinkie's lines as [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|Chancellor Puddinghead]] have become quite prominent, but one in particular stands out, helped by the [[Tastes Like Diabetes|adorably]] [[Large Ham|ridiculous]] smile she makes while saying it:

{{quote| '''Chancellor Puddinghead''': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}uzOhDv9QgKA I am just about to be brilliant!]}}

=== Rainbow Dash ===

* X needs to be about/is now [[20% More Awesome|20% cooler]]. <ref> From Rainbow Dash's hilariously vague suggestions for her dress in "Suited for Success", "It just needs to be about 20% cooler."</ref>

* Rainbow Dash is a lesbian. <ref> The fandom has gone back and forth between [[Dead Horse Trope]] and [[Undead Horse Trope]] with this accusation more times than anypony cares to count. The fact that she's a [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]] isn't helping.</ref>

* Ropes. <ref> She has a tendency to end up tied with ropes by other characters. Fan often joke about the [http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/118139 sexual subtext] that comes with it.</ref>

 

=== Fluttershy ===

** Tying into that, Fluttershy as the [[The Elder Scrolls|Dovahkin]] is ''incredibly'' common.

** Alternatively, she's [[Blatant Lies|violent]].

* 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>

** 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.

* Flutterjuice/Juiceboxshy. <ref>Originated in [http://SorcerusHorserus.deviantart.com/art/Dash-Academy-2-Hot-Flank-Part4-257655358 this page] of Dash Academy, a fancomic, and popularized by [http://askfluttershyandpinkiepie.tumblr.com/ this Ask Tumblr]. It's about Fluttershy's liking of juiceboxes. It has since then [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/FlutterJuice/1 spread] to other ask Tumblrs and fan art.</ref>

* Fluttermat <ref>The same as Fluttertree above, but with Fluttershy as a doormat instead. Stems from Rarity's description of Fluttershy's attitude in ''"Putting Your Hoof Down"''</ref>

* Hootershy/Flutterack <ref>Anthropomorphised Fluttershy art tends to depict her with an abundant bustline, for any number of reasons ranging from an interpretation of her motherly instincts and [[Moe]] personality to [[Author Appeal]].</ref>

** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Their whole family is made of marshmallows! The most common colors for marshmallows are white, followed by pink. Guess what colors the parents are? White and Pink.

* THIIIIIS IIIIIIS WHIIIIINIIIIINNG! <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw4vHMXqEt4 Rarity in "A Dog and Pony Show"]. The line quoted here is usually the first part to be exaggerated, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSrBbsSu4XI as seen here.] </ref>

* [[Cargo Ship|Rarity x Tom OTP!]] <ref>In part 2 of the Season 2 premiere, Rarity continues to haul the rock around that Discord made her think was a ginormous diamond and named it Tom.</ref>

** Prior to part two, the boulder was dubbed "Dan" by fans due to Youtube captions, the same way Steven Magnet was named. When part two aired and Rarity named him Tom, people compromised and decided his name was Tom Dan, and made him a [[Memetic Badass]] for good measure.

=== Spike ===

* Tailboner. <ref> The same thing as a wingboner, but for Spike's tail.</ref>

* Lame Pickup Line Spike. <ref>[http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/entries/icons/original/000/006/136/spikeflirt.png?1308543070 An image from "Boast Busters"] with Spike trying to seduce Rarity with cheesy lines and bad innuendos.</ref>

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fya-4TbURNc EPIC SAX SPIKE!] <ref>The Pony Anthology features a small bit of Spike playing the saxophone, and it was combined with the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrdwhXNt4qw "Epic Sax Guy"] meme from 2010 [[Eurovision Song Contest]].</ref>

* "The fun has been doubled!" <ref> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lowij-5Q5Xg Luna's exclamation] while playing games in ''Luna Eclipsed'' lead to snowclones almost immediately.</ref>

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etaIaVgTmAg&feature=related Ha ha! The butt fun has been doubled!]

* On September 29, 2011, a [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/65311 leaked picture of an unfinished scene] from the episode "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|Luna Eclipsed]]", the one with [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|the return of]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Princess Luna]], showed Luna with a sinister grin on her face and a cloak. This single picture caused some ponies to claim that Luna had joined [[The Dark Side]]<ref>...[[Pink Floyd|of the Moon]]</ref> and is now a [[Star Wars|Sith Lord]].

* '''"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0WDNnxInFM THIS IS THE TRADITIONAL ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!!!]"''' <ref>Luna's explanation in ''Luna Eclipsed'' for why she speaks in such a [[No Indoor Voice|loud booming voice]]. Enough to make '''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness|CAPTAIN GORDON DEFEEEEEENDER OF EARTH]]''' green with envy.</ref>

** Others use [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]] for the Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice (or combine both aspects).

** [http://askgamerluna.tumblr.com/ It even has a Tumblr!]

 

* Just roll with it. <ref> After a massive buildup over months and months of wondering how the show would introduce a new winged unicorn to the show's pantheon, it wasn't that big a deal during and after the show aired.</ref>

 

== Others ==

* "Who is responsible for subjecting our eyes to these... horrors?" <ref> From Hoity Toity's reaction to the first batch of dresses in "Suited for Success", this is the standard response to [[Brain Bleach]] moments.</ref>

* [[Trademark Favorite Food|Soarin' loves pie]] <ref> Soarin' of the Wonderbolts was shown in "The Best Night Ever" (his first, and so far only, speaking or named appearance) to be a [[Big Eater]], and since the food he bought and ate in that episode was a pie, the fandom decided that pie is his [[Trademark Favorite Food]].</ref>

* Madame Jubilee <ref> Cherry Jubilee, from "The Last Roundup" runs a cherry orchard in a western-themed town called Dodge Junction. Her business-attitude, [[Southern Belle]] accent, and constant bedroom-eyes have led to her being compared to a brothel madame.</ref>

* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/faster_cheaper/1 Faster, cheaper!] <ref> [[Con Artist|The Flim-Flam Brothers]] shut off the quality control of their machine to make a profit, resulting in a series of minicomics where they turn something into a [[Take That|cheap, mass-produced alternative]].</ref>

* '''YEAH!''' <ref>The huge muscled, tiny winged white pegasus ([[Fan Nickname]] of Roid Rage or [[Space Mutiny|Big McLargehooves]]) popping up to deliver this line with enthusism throughout "Hurricane Fluttershy".</ref>

* Peepingweight <ref>Featherweight, a shutterbug pegasus introduced in "Ponyville Confidential" looking through a cellar window or into the spa with camera at the ready, followed by a candid image.</ref>

 

=== Trixie ===

** Rarity is a [[The Fashionista|fashionista]] cupid. <ref> Tied in with the meme directly above, if the character Trixie is being shipped with isn't Rarity, the one she is being shipped with will have talked Rarity into fixing the hat and cloak for them to give to Trixie.</ref>

* Trixie's favorite food is pinecones. <ref> A brony by the name of Bronymike spent quite a lot of time requesting art of Trixie eating pinecones. [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/37651 He] [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/38577 got] [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/37988 it.]</ref>

 

=== Discord ===

* DisQord. <ref> Discord was voiced by John de Lancie, who also voiced Q in various ''[[Star Trek]]'' series, and the character was heavily inspired by Q as well, resulting in this [[Fan Nickname]]. ''Star Trek''/''MLP'' mashups were also inevitable following the first episode.</ref>

* [http://youtu.be/45vW4-B-yRY Chocolate milk of glass] <ref> Discord filling a glass with chocolate milk, and then drinking the glass.</ref>

 

=== Photo Finish ===

** There's a blue pegasus with wavy black hair and ''that'' cutie mark in "Sonic Rainboom" who appears for a couple of seconds, rather appropriate as it resembles the equally briefly-appearing Eighth Doctor.

** In "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" Doctor Whooves turns the sand timer for the competition. In other words, even the writers acknowledge that he should be ''in control of time''.

* In Pinchy We Trust. [[Flat What|One Wat]] <ref>The catchphrase of the [http://askrubypinch.tumblr.com/ Ask Ruby Pinch] tumblr and a response to anything that warrants a [[Flat What]]. Sometimes comes with [http://askrubypinch.tumblr.com/post/9508858827 this stamp].</ref>

* There's a popular trend on [[YouTube]] where DJ Pon3's bobbing head animation is synchronized with some [[Electronic Music]], making it look as if she's banging her head to the beat of the music.

 

=== Derpy Hooves ===

** [[Word of God|Lauren Faust]] [[Ascended Meme|said in response]] "she can be Derpy if everyone likes", and she showed up as a delivery pony in "Feeling Pinkie Keen".

** Derpy Hooves became [[Ascended Meme|canon]] in The Last Roundup, having a speaking role with and being called "Derpy" by Rainbow Dash. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|To say the fans were pleased would be quite the understatement.]]

* Derpy got corrective eye surgery! <ref> At the ceremony honouring Twilight and her friends in part 2 of the Season 2 premiere, Derpy/Ditzy is seen in the background without her traditional cockeyed appearance.</ref>

** But apparently it didn't take. <ref> She can be seen in ''Lesson Zero'' being attracted to the enchanted Miss Smartypants. When the spell is broken, she was fighting the Mayor hoof to hoof, derpy eyes and all.</ref>

** The animators did a [[Fandom Nod]] about this in the episode "Luna Eclipsed", this time [http://youtu.be/FbWbBrm8Nwg involving an apple bobbing tub and a drain]. [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/75156 Carrot Top is not amused as usual.]

* Ancient Muffins <ref>A variation of the Ancient Aliens image macro meme where muffins are the answer to every weird or odd occurrences in the show such as animation errors or [[Plot Hole|plot holes]] as explained by Derpy Hooves. The image used in the macro originated from a deviantART submission by Equestria-Prevails called "[http://fav.me/d4h7rms Ancient Humans]". Prior to the artwork, a photoshopped version of the Ancient Aliens guy with Derpy's head pasted over his was used.</ref>

* Derpy's plot is iron! <ref>Derpy's appearance in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|The Last Roundup]]. She had her own scene, and in it she plops down onto a floor...and breaks through. Taking Rainbow Dash with her.</ref>

* Derpy Shot First <ref> After being removed from iTunes and skipped in [[The Hub]]'s reruns, 'The Last Roundup' was re-released with Derpy's name not mentioned, her scenes revoiced, and her wall-eyed expression lessened. Reaction was... mixed.</ref>

* Sitting Lyra. <ref>One of the background ponies, a mint green unicorn with a lyre cutie mark often engaged in some sort of [[Funny Background Event]], was seen in "Dragonshy" sitting like a human being on a bench, leading to many fanworks and jokes about her wanting to be human, mostly centered around her odd sitting patterns but recently branching into wanting human hands as well. Some [[The Merch|officially licensed merchandise]] has since shown her sitting in the same manner--namely, the ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=966 Lyra On] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=967 My Pocket]'' and ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1953 Friendship] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1974 Is Coming]'' shirts and the [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1330 papercraft] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1331 diorama].</ref>

* Lyra wants hands. <ref>Ever since the sitting Lyra, fans have speculated that she might in fact have an obsession with humans (even though there are no humans in Equestria). This ranges from [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/58735 her] [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/38193 creepy] [http://www.furaffinity.net/full/6579087/ obsession] [http://csimadmax.deviantart.com/art/first-wish-253932825 with] [http://thelivingmachine02.deviantart.com/art/OH-GOD-POISON-JOKE-257494010 hands] to [http://thelivingmachine02.deviantart.com/art/Running-of-the-Leaves-216041437 mimicking human behavior] and ultimately to becoming a human herself.</ref>

* "Ew gay!" <ref> A pic of Lyra saying this was created as a half-joking response to the overabundance of [[Les Yay]] and femslash shipping in the fandom.</ref>

** More recently, [[Het Is Ew|"Ew, straight!"]]

* Lyra teaches about humans <ref>A new series of pictures featuring Lyra in a classroom giving wildly inaccurate speeches about humanity</ref>

** It even has an [[Ask a Pony]] [http://asklyratheplushie.tumblr.com/ blog]!
