* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Memes/Part One|Part One]]
== General Memes ==
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Memes/Part Two|Part Two]]
* "[[You Will Be Assimilated|WELCOME TO THE HERD]]" <ref> Typically said whenever somebody reveals they enjoyed the show. Usually comes with the page pic.</ref>
* "[[I Need a Freaking Drink|CONFOUND THESE PONIES, THEY DRIVE ME TO DRINK!]]" <ref>Usually accompanied by {{media-|confound_4074.jpg| a screenshot}} of a scene in the first episode where Twilight Sparkle pours a bottle of what looks like a an alcoholic drink (but, unfortunately for her, was actually a bottle of hot sauce) into a goblet. They will also drive you to [[The Insomniac|insomnia]], [[Lethal Chef|worms]], [[Stalker Without a Crush|stalking]], and/or [[Bound and Gagged|bondage]], among other things. [http://youtu.be/OZTbycrisCk The line] itself came from an old Chuck Jones cartoon entitled "[[The Dover Boys]]".</ref>
* "[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/202 ...in my hooves, on my head, in my saddlebags... in my mouth!]" <ref> A piece of [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/6751 in-game dialogue] that came from one of [[The Hub]]'s [[Browser Game|Browser Games]] called ''[http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlp-adventures-in-ponyville Adventures in Ponyville]''. The line seems innocent but when taken out of context [[Accidental Innuendo|could mean something else]].</ref>
* SECRET BUTT FUN <ref> A meme that doesn't directly relate to ''My Little Pony'', but was inspired instead by a promo for the 2010 ''[[Pound Puppies]]'' series that used to play over the credits and featured a clip of Niblet the sheepdog saying "Secret, but fun!" Amusingly enough, the promo in question and the episode the clip was taken from both ended up on ''The Friendship Express'' DVD.</ref>
** Scary butt fun!<ref> An offshoot of this meme, inspired by Pipsqueak's line in "Luna Eclipse" about Nightmare Night being "scary, but fun". You'll notice they were /very/ careful about how they had him elocute the line.</ref>
* [http://bronibooru.mlponies.com/post/show/2565/ Gyro Bowls]. <ref> Thanks to a commercial that aired during the first season finale.</ref>
* "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. <ref> The fandom have found themselves conflicted between hating people who don't like the show and the show's overall message of love and tolerance. Compromises were made. Unfortunately, some Bronies do not practice what they claim to preach and will relentlessly insult anyone who enjoys any older incarnation of ''[[My Little Pony]]'', or anyone who criticizes ''Friendship Is Magic''. The phrase "Love & Tolerate" was eventually [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=875 put] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1059 on] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2418 an] [[The Merch|officially licensed shirt]] (and used in the description of another [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1600 shirt] and [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1672 hoodie]).</ref>
** [[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> A series of videos consisting of [[Accidental Innuendo|Accidental Innuendos]] that pokes fun at the abundance of [[Rule 34]] of ''FiM''.</ref>
** I can/can't clop to this. <ref> A variation on the "I can/can't fap to this" and/or the "I find this easy/difficult to masturbate to" memes, clopping being the pony equivalent of masturbation.</ref>
** FiM is technically furry <ref> Originated as a way of trolling bronies, since, in the loosest definition of the term, they are technically part of the [[Furry Fandom]]. Now slightly memetic.</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.
** Less popular, but this also makes "plot hole" a valid and stealthy insult.
** And of course, it tends to be combined with Twilight Sparkle's [[Unfortunate Name]], leading to jokes about ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' having well developed plot etc.
* 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". <ref>The show's subtitle led to the creation of this snowclone meme.</ref>
** "AND X MAKES IT ALL COMPLETE!" <ref> Another minor snowclone, from a line in the opening theme song "And magic makes it all complete".</ref>
* [[Oh My Gods|Thank Celestia]] [[Creator Worship|for Lauren Faust]] <ref> This is most likely to be the comment of any brony that comes across past generations and actually watches them, or general praise towards Faust for anything, jokingly(?) attaining an almost mythical status.</ref>
* "Can you do that? Can you explode twice?!" <ref> From Spike and Pinkie Pie's speculation on what the "doozy" in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" meant happened to Fluttershy; Spike suggests she might have exploded, and Pinkie follows it up by saying she might have exploded... and then exploded ''again''. Things exploding twice quickly became a [[Running Gag]] in the fandom.</ref>
* And then nothing sexual happened at all. The end. <ref> The traditional response to anything that could be taken as a [[Double Entendre]] within the show.</ref>
** And then everything sexual happened. The end. <ref> A reaction to the above, claiming that said scenario did indeed lead to a sexual encounter</ref>
* Truth Flower <ref> Near the end of "The Cutie Pox", Zecora plants "seeds of truth" that require spoken truth to blossom. It quickly became popular to edit in such things as ponies admitting their love/sexuality or lack thereof to one another, characters from other media pitching in (such as [[Star Wars|Vader's]] [[Luke I Am Your Father|famous line]] or [[The Lion King|Scar's murder confession]]), or a variant of either with the flower humorously [[Blatant Lies|failing to blossom]], similar to the Liarjack meme below.</ref>
** In the same vein, there's also a YouTube video of [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|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 [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] that was made to look like an official German magazine comic has spawned a couple memes of its own:
** Terry. <ref>Scootaloo's name.</ref>
** "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].</ref>
* Tara Strong is best pony. <ref>Twilight's voice actress has recently taken to shamelessly trolling the Internet via her Twitter. Led to "Twilighticious" further down the page. As such it has '''nothing to do with''' classifying other species as ponies.</ref>
* Pony hell. <ref>Appears to have taken off with [http://tinyurl.com/6xuzn2l this image,] frequently referenced for its sheer absurd [[Narm Charm]].</ref>
* "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 ''[[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Cupcakes]]''' Pinkie Pie, and why we see a lot of clones of background ponies in a lot of scenes within the show (or why they seem to have a different characterization and/or voice everytime they are put in a role). It has even been used to explain the changes to Derpy Hooves in ''The Last Roundup''. Basically they are used as an excuse as to why a character or a group of characters doesn't seem and/or feel "right".</ref>
* "[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). ''[http://veggie55.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d51f2fs Exempli] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNglxh5XeAQ&feature=relmfu gratia]''.
 
 
== Crossover Memes ==
* [[Crossover|Crossing]] ''Friendship Is Magic'' with anything and everything has become a meme all of its own. ''[[Portal (Video Game)|Portal]]'' (''[[Better Living Through Science and Ponies (Fanfic)|Better Living Through Science and Ponies]]'' and plenty of other fics), ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' (endless Gmod works with both casts), ''[[Touhou]]'' ([[Touhou (Video Game)/Crossovers|crossed with everything]] anyway), ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' (thanks to the popularity of Doctor Whoof), [[The Slender Man Mythos]], ''[[Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' (thanks to Twilight Sparkle and Stocking having similar haircuts and color schemes), ''[[Star Trek]]'' (thanks to John de Lancie aka Q voicing Discord), ''[[Metal Gear]]''<ref>(thanks to repeated "stealth" sequences in the show: Apple Bloom's sneaking sequence in "Call of the Cutie", Rainbow Dash infiltrating the hospital in "Read It and Weep", Twilight Sparkle leading Spike and Pinkie Pie into the Canterlot Archives ''while looking remarkably like Snake'' in "It's About Time")</ref>, and '''many''' more. And practically every character ever has been "ponified" at least once.
** Speaking of ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|TF2]]'', the Scout has often been [[Crack Pairing|comically paired up/shipped]] with Rainbow Dash due to his infamous "Rainbows make me cry" meme.
** Some madman went so far as to [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7556482/1/Friends_of_a_Solar_Empire cross it over] with ''[[Sins of a Solar Empire]]'', of all things.
*** I will see your epic space strategy and raise you [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/story-son-of-emperor.html the Napoleonic Wars.]
** 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]]?
* [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/magneto.html MAGNETO]. <ref> From Bronyville Livestream, while the episode "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]" was being aired, an ''[[X Men First Class (Film)|X Men First Class]]'' [[Commercial Pop Up]] featuring [[Magneto]] kept popping up in the lower-right corner of the screen. It was widely considered hilarious and led to, for example, the fans blaming him for ruining the Gala.</ref>
** In an "Evolution of a Scene", made by one of the animators on the show (for both season one and two), at the end there is an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJelKyxtXXU animation] of pony Magneto at the gala, using the pony statue to take down the Wonderbolts while saying "WELCOME TO DIE!!!"
** [[Captain Ersatz|Magneighto]] has even become an official [[Canon Foreigner]] by appearing on [[The Merch]], specifically the ''Magnet Pony'' [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=867 shirt] [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1282-3899.jpg and] [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1282-3901.jpg formerly] [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1282-3904.jpg hoodie].
* [[Spider-Man]]'s a brony <ref> The Spider-Man cartoon from the 60's has already undergone its own [[Memetic Mutation]] and a crossing of the memes was inevitable. Fans like to Photoshop Spidey into the show, causing almost as much chaos as Pinkie Pie.</ref>
** [[Deadpool|So am I!]]
* Congratulations! Your Twilight Sparkle has evolved into [[Pokémon|Rapidash]]! <ref>When Twilight starts [[Burning With Anger]] in "Feeling Pinkie Keen", she turns into a white unicorn with a flaming mane, which looks suspiciously like [[Pokémon (Franchise)/Generation I Families/Characters|Rapidash]], another white unicorn with a flaming mane.</ref>
* ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]'' crossovers have begun to take hold, thanks to Gentaro's goal to befriend everyone in his school. [http://egophiliac.deviantart.com/art/fourze-luna-256794920 LUNA, GRAB MY POMPADOUR!]
* It has become somewhat popular to mix "Lesson Zero" with ''[[Majoras Mask]]'', due to how the sun moves.
** Celestia [[Troll|Trolls]] Luna when she plays [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDUzTnv7SM Mario], but Luna [[Colony Drop|trolls her]] when Celestia plays ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7KbHle-yjQ Majora's Mask]''...
* "What is this fun thou speakest of?" ''[[Spongebob SquarePants|"F" is for friends who do stuff together...]]'' <ref>For obvious reasons, Luna asking what fun is in "Luna Eclipsed" is often answered with Spongebob's FUN song.</ref>
** IT'S NOT JUST A BOULDER, IT'S A ROCK! <ref>This phrase from the "Pizza Delivery" episode has become popular when applied to Rarity to both when she gets [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]] by Discord and when she finds the geode that earns her cutie mark.</ref>
** In general, if the fandom can connect an ''FiM'' meme to one from [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)/Memes|SpongeBob]], they will do so.
* The Engineer is a Spy! [[hottip:explanation: Crossovers between [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|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.}}
** Going with the "Princess Cadence is X" meme below, there's {{spoiler|"Cadence is Spy!"}} [[hottip:explanation: Queen Chrysalis' plan of {{spoiler|absorbing Shining Armor's love by posing as Cadence would inevitably lead to comparisons to the Spy}}
* [[The Big Lebowski|THIS is what happens when you BUCK a STRANGER in the FLANK!]] <ref>Thanks to the appearance of ponies resembling The Dude, Walter and Donny in a bowling alley during [[The Teaser]] of "The Cutie Pox".</ref>
** Nopony bucks with the Jesus. <ref>Jesus Quintana, too.</ref>
* [[Steampunk|My Little Steampunk]] <ref>A popular art trend where ''FiM'' is depicted in the [[Steampunk]] visual style.</ref>
* [http://fox-feathers.deviantart.com/art/Daft-Pony-211427189 Daft Pony] <ref> Techno-music duo [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]] has consistently, through most of their career, appeared wearing helmets fashioned with a robot motif.</ref>
* X Y is best Y <ref>Originally stemming from the [[League of Legends]] fandom, it eventually spread to the bronies. It's typically used as a response to a (normally main/recurring) character from the show exhibiting a one time quirk, such as [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Beatnik Rarity is best Rarity]] or [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Insane Twilight is best Twilight.]] Then again, some try to classify other species as Y when they are not.</ref>
** X Y is worst Y <ref>The opposite of the above.</ref>
* [[Star Wars|Jedi]] ponies <ref>A recent art trend involving ponies wielding lightsabers, which has led to all manner of ''[[Star Wars]]'' crossovers.</ref>
* Rainbow Dash is [[Daredevil]] <ref> Pinkie Pie called Rainbow a "daredevil" in "Read it and Weep"</ref>
* [[The Lonely Island|LIKE A FAUST!]] <ref> A play on words melding the already memetic Like A Boss line and the name of the show's creator Lauren Faust.</ref>
* A shot of Pinkie Pie waxing to Rainbow Dash about delicious cider looked uncannily like the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x-x-everywhere "X, X Everywhere"] meme. [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/x_x_everywhere/1 Fans pounced.]
 
 
== Website Specific Memes ==
* 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].
* *cue happy theme song* <ref> A bit of a [[Running Gag]] on [[This Wiki]] about the show's tendency to do a [[Mood Whiplash]] with the theme song, such as the cliffhanger at the end of the first episode.</ref>
* Roboshi, Anchors, & yellowtdash are universal constants/fav'd this <ref>A [[Ponibooru (Website)|Ponibooru]] joke, there's a group of users named Roboshi, Anchors, & yellowtdash. who have a tendency to favorite ''everything'' on the site.</ref>
** They are typically considered the [[Ponibooru (Website)|Ponibooru]] "mascots", as they are the three most known members of ponibooru.
** They have a tumblr which can be found here. [http://askponiboorucrufavers.tumblr.com/\]
** Roboshi is credited with being the originator of faving whereas anchors is considered the fastest with a capped record of 2,000+ per day, Yellow is an artist who does the artwork behind the tumblr.
* Faustpony loves her Subway sandwiches. [[hottip:explanation: During a period where several Rule34 pictures of Lauren Faust's alicorn OC were posted, many pictures were edited with Subway sandwiches replacing... certain body parts. Even now, it is not uncommon to see Lauren's alicorn [[http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/d594ab09bb188725edd8a417563c0e3a/99968%20-<!-- 20lauren_faust20pony_oc%20subway.jpg somehow connected]] to Subway in fanarts or its logo edited into already existing ones.]] -->
** And on that note..."Subway -- [[Squick|eat flesh]]."
*** It's not just Lauren; many other canon ponies have been shopped into similar fashions, as well.
* 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. You can find a comprehensive list of these blogs [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1njTTTPv1Of4yHd6igFCNCB9JyXOhH4IHENwnt55zIWc/edit?hl=en_US here].</ref>
** Chubbies/Blobs <ref>A recent offshoot of the meme where ponies are replaced with small hamster-like versions of themselves. It started out with two [http://ask-pony-blobs.tumblr.com/ Ask] [http://askmlcblobs.tumblr.com/ blogs] but soon spread to [http://askoctavia.tumblr.com/post/11967516071 other] [http://ask-loonyluna.tumblr.com/post/11963026631 existing] [http://asksurprise.tumblr.com/post/11959245452 Ask blogs]. Each converting their characters into one of these critters for a single post.</ref>
*** Rainbow Dash Chubby Flyby <ref>Ask Tumblr Blogs will have the Rainbow Dash Chubby fly by their character leaving a rainbow trail behind her. It all started [http://askmlcblobs.tumblr.com/post/14044102408/more-soon here] when Chubby!Pinkie Pie launched her with her mini-party cannon. Since then she has been seen throughout various Ask Tumblrs.</ref>
** [[Ask a Pony|Now with its own TVTropes page!]]
* "[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/make_it_happen/1 MAKE IT HAPPEN]" <ref>A meme on Ponibooru where fans suggest potential pony [[Crossover|crossovers]].</ref>
* December 9th is National Child Violence Day! <ref>On December 9th, 2011, within a few minutes of each other, [[Ponibooru (Website)|Ponibooru]] saw postings of 1) APPLE.MOV-style Applejack brutally beating Applebloom and 2) Prince Blueblood braining a young colt with a brick. Someone suggested it was Child Violence Day. Someone else then posted a brony "calendar" listing December 9th as such.</ref>
* [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazi]] Ponies <ref>[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=189896&page=225 A trend] on [[Alternate History Dot Com]] to mix ''My Little Pony'' with Nazis. Communists are also a lesser favorite.</ref>
** Speaking of Nazis, Rarity's line "I didn't know you could burn juice!" is frequently [[Mondegreen|misheard]] as "I didn't know you could burn Jews!" (Which gets even more bizarre in light of the Jewish Rarity meme...)
* Lilo~<ref>From [[Nico Nico Douga]]. This one started from an attempt to turn the title theme into ''katakana'', hence ''My Little Pony''=''Mai.Ritoru.Ponii''. A combination of L-R substitution and further compressing the ''Ritoru'' turned it into ''Lilo'', also the onomatopoeia for licking, which stuck.</ref>

Since then, Weird Al/My Little Pony mash-ups have skyrocketed and Al has even been asked by one of the show's directors to do a guest appearance, presumably as a response to the video.</ref>
* Even [[The Hub]] themselves have parodied a song with Ponified lyrics. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo This is an advert that airs on TV.]
* The fans have had a lot of fun with [[YouTube]]'s automatic close-captioning generator. Among other things, Spike refuses to convert to Christianity in "Boast Busters" ("I am not going to believe the lord Jesus"), the river serpent from episode 2 is [[Fan Nickname|now named]] [[Awesome McCoolname|"Steven Magnet"]], and in "The Show Stoppers" Scootaloo [[Crack Pairing|wants to "sex that steve guy yes"]].
** For the second season, the closed captions are responsible for naming the huge rock Rarity is tricked into believing it's a diamond "Dan". When the second episode actually had Rarity name the rock "Tom", the fanon agreed the rock to be called Tom Dan.
** Season 2 ep 2 featured the bizarre auto-caption [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5hV-HKoFyU#t=6m40s "Applejack got fucked"].
** There's actually an entire [[Tumblr]] blog dedicated to capturing the strange and hilarious captions that pop up.

* Dubbing over a character with the voice of a past role of their actors, for example [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2SYwM9t478 Twilight Sparkle as] [[Drawn Together|Princess Clara]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjK8N3be2-4 Spike as] [[Death Note (Manga)|Near]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVK9HKN0Jbo Pinkie singing the] [[Death Note (Manga)|Misa song]], Chief Thunderhooves [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM1JoYTXkC0 complaining about ponies in] [[Dawn of War|METAL BOXES]], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFdTt7hucm0 of course] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5DE6xrCgLA Discord] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1u0FCNPEc as] [[Star Trek the Next Generation|Q]].

* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8P6g8y1gpo Are you a spy!?]" <ref> In "Elements of Harmony", upon learning that Twilight Sparkle knows about Nightmare Moon and the Elements of Harmony, Rainbow Dash interrogates Twilight, ending it with "Are you a spy!?". Videos would take this line (titled after the line or "X Answers Rainbow Dash's question") and have various characters respond such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2oT4Z8sqD4 Applejack], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucH3NxL4dJk Spike], and [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|the Spy]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8P6g8y1gpo himself].</ref>
* Watching the episodes, dubbed (official or fandubbed) in different languages, in part or in whole.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFpyi2Hv9Cc Or "Giggle at the Ghostie" in Polish].
** Speaking of different languages, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dchiYx5Hzo Italian opening theme] is now known as "the anime intro theme" because of its length (over two minutes) and an [[Ear Worm]]-tastic original song that seems to cross language barriers and is appreciated by a lot of non-italian speakers.
* Seductive Ponies <ref>A sexy song plays while a character slowly closes in to the camera with bedroom eyes, the title often written in a way to suggest that the subject has just realized what is happening.

Presumably the ponies must have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwCR1FpbnhQ surprisingly] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHSzDlZVSdM varied] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP3x-VdOb44 taste]. <ref>It's about half and half things that popped up as a related video to something more equine and resulted in a curious [[Wiki Walk|Youtube Walk]], and things linked from a pony forum or fan fiction or something.</ref>

** It's now practically routine for someone to shout "Lookout! Incoming Bronies!" whenever a video contains a reference that the latest episode just made.
* *cut to credits* <ref>Many Youtube Poops of My Little Pony often have a character say something that resolves the plot, or just ''anything random'', followed by a hard cut to normal credits of the show.</ref>
* [[My Little Pony]] with [[Sound Effect Bleep|censor bleeps.]] <ref>[[This Trope Is Bleep|Taking scenes from the show and replacing choice words with implied naughty language for fun and profit.]] The two videos that started it all are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITr90v7UaNg here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yNoeEqIcQw here.]</ref>

* Brony/Target audience observations <ref>On brief clips of the show (most notably from [http://www.youtube.com/kyrospawn kyrospawn]) taken [[Innocent Innuendo|out of context]], a comment will often say something along the lines of a reaction a little girl may be having to watching the clip, whereas the second line will have the reaction of a brony watching it, generally around the lines of "OLOLOLOL SEX JOKES".</ref>
* [Character Name].mp4. Interestingly, all of the Mane Six have at least one moment where their eyes roll around in a daze, usually in response to a sudden shock or blow to the head. For some reason, these scenes have been looped and then set to Parov Stelar's "Catgroove".
* When I'm X <ref>Following from a larger [[YouTube]] meme, [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/when-im-bored When I'm Bored], short videos featuring one pony set to "Let Me Hit It" by Sporty-O; eg "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEnWvHrfgYE When I'm 20% Cooler]" for Rainbow Dash or "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJP11_BkU8Q&feature=related When I'm Magic]" for Twilight Sparkle.</ref>
** And somewhat related, X Sauce. <ref>A meme rather similar to When I'm X but a bit more simpler set to "Barbra Streisand" by Duck Sauce, where the name comes from. It started with "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oPkcl9sDNc Pony Sauce]" for Twilight and since then has been done with other MLP characters and some that aren't even from MLP such as "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OolQP4OKhXw Heavy Sauce]" for Heavy, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vygIaJzhrQ Fox Sauce]" for Tails and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHOb78pmqOY Barbra Sauce]" for Barbra Streisand of all people.</ref>

* Recently, it's also become quite popular to create separate accounts with the names of the characters and comment on pony videos as they would. They have a tendency to get top comment and often respond in-character.

* It seems that if anypony makes a goofy face on the show, fans will pounce on it. Aside from Derpy Hooves and her [[Fish Eyes]] in the first episode, "Applebuck Season" brings us [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/32160 Rainbow Dash's] [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 [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 [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> Fans naming other ponies as their favorite character tend to attract image macros with this phrase, though there's at least one version where Pinkie admits [[Moe|Fluttershy]] [[Even the Girls Want Her|is her favorite, too]].</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.

** Sweaters are the new socks.
** Minty liked socks before they were cool.<ref> Minty is a g3 pony who collected socks.</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> Celestia's [[Batman Gambit]] for snapping Twilight Sparkle out of Discord's spell was simply to send Twilight copies of all the letters she'd written to Celestia in season 1, about what she'd learned about friendship, knowing that even a mindscrewed Twilight Sparkle would not be able to resist the written word. The quote is a reference to ''[[Patton]]''.</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> Nightmare Moon and Discord, the two [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of the series so far, were sealed in the moon and turned into a statue respectively, both by Celestia. Fan speculation for Celestia's reason for using essentially the same imprisonment strategy twice usually has someone suggest this was what she was thinking during both instances.</ref>
** Many fans exaggerate this by making it her go-to solution for ''anything'' she doesn't like.
* [PONY] found a [VEHICLE] <ref> Looping animations of one or more characters driving a vehicle at high speed accompanied with a fitting background music. Usually also includes extra elements happening around them as they drive.

* [[Rule 63|Colt versions]]. <ref> Genderbends of the Mane Cast, usually created by lowering the pitch on the original voices. In this incarnation, their names become Butterscotch, Applejack, Elusive, Rainbow Blitz, Bubble Berry, and Dusk Shine (and his number one secretary, Barbara). In case you're confused as to who's who, they are male versions of Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike.</ref>
** 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 (Fanfic)|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 (Fanfic)|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].

** 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]".

* 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> Fanart on [[Image Boards|a certain image board]] has inspired a flood of mini-fics about adorable but [[Too Dumb to Live|accident-prone]] pet fluffy ponies.</ref>
*** Fluffy pony abuse <ref> Said image board has since spawned numerous mini-fics involving rather ''disturbingly'' detailed slaughter and mistreatment of fluffy ponies, usually in the form of [[Disproportionate Retribution]] for the afformentioned stupidity. The most common form of abuse is the "Sorry Stick", an impromptu spanking device made from a thin rod of wood.</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.''

When corrupted by Discord in "The Return of Harmony", however, she permanently lies, while doing the linked face. Has spawned a crapton of image macros; the captions usually border on [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]].</ref>
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84PZbL_-jjU Who's a Silly Pony?] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk5PbfpBJUI Who is, you is, Applejack!] <ref> Applejack is one of the rare characters in the series who comes from a previous series, in this case Generation 1 My Little Pony. G1 Applejack was a klutz to the extreme. In a UK My Little Pony audiobook, Applejack was introduced with this song to showcase her clumsy nature. Fans have since taken the song and attached it to scenes where Friendship Is Magic Applejack is being shown as acting weird.</ref>
* 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 (Animation)/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|staying with the Oranges in Manehattan?]]" The result: [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/orangejack/1 Orangejack.]
* Applejack's Episode. <ref> Applejack has had one feature episode since the beginning of the show, and a split ticket with a couple episodes, most commonly with Rarity. When the DVD ''The Friendship Express'' was revealed to contain an episode titled "The Last Roundup", the fans went nuts. When the episode's synopsis was released, revealing that Applejack was missing and the manes had to find her, the fans were less impressed. When the episode ''after'' was confirmed to be a truly Apple-Family-centric episode, the fans perked up again, and when Applejack actually appeared throughout all of ''The Last Roundup'' their ire disappeared completely.</ref>
** 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.
* "Forget you, I can eat ALL these apples!" <ref> At a panel at the January 2012 Bronycon, fans convinced guest speaker Ashleigh Ball (the voice of Applejack) to quote the fan animation APPLE.MOV</ref>
* Appletroll <ref> At the end of [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|"The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000"]], Applejack proudly proclaims that she did not learn anything from the episode in her letter to Celestia. Since that means she never had a reason to send a letter, this led to people claiming that she was trolling Celestia. Her smug "haters gonna hate" trot while narrating said letter, followed by presumably going out to get wasted on [[Frothy Mugs of Water|cider]] helps considerably.</ref>

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>

Notably, the Madmax comic came first, and just about anytime Rainbow Dash or another Pegasus has their wings spread, someone will shout "Wingboner!"</ref>
** Often used in conjunction with the infamous POMF =3 meme as the sound effect for said.

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.
** A second fanfic followed, though [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7184406/1/Dashs_Secret it's not just Dash's natural color] that's being hidden...

** It also overlaps with another meme: "I like turtles.".
* Rainbow Dash unmasking the Mysterious Mare Do Well, finding [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/mare-do-well_unmasked/1 unexpected results], and reacting somehow (almost identical to the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' gag with Shepard removing Tali's mask).
* Rainbow Dash plus sunglasses (three times through the first 8 episodes of season 2, as well as in the Fashion Style Rainbow Dash toy, several licensed [[The Merch|shirts]], and the fanimation ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJLL-DNu3P4 Epic Cupcake Time]'') equals numerous "DEAL WITH IT" memes.

=== Fluttershy ===
* The Stare. <ref> Fluttershy's [[Death Glare]] in "Stare Master" earned some infamy, with some fans joking she has [[One Piece|Haki]] or [[Code Geass|a Geass]], and contributes to her [[Memetic Badass]] reputation</ref>.
** YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME! <ref> Fluttershy's [[Freak Out]] during "The Best Night Ever", the same scene that inspired the "Flutterage" meme, became memetic for being completely unexpected and ''terrifying''.</ref>
* Replacing the ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' "[[Big Yes|YEEAAAAAHH!]]" with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLTZctTG6cE Fluttershy's] "[[Flat Joy|Yay]]" from the [[Cold Open]] of "Sonic Rainboom".
* Fluttertree. <ref> Stems from a conversation in "Over a Barrel" in which Pinkie Pie takes Rainbow Dash's sarcastic remark about Fluttershy being a tree at face value. Combined with Fluttershy's remark "I'd like to be a tree", it sparked a lot of half-joking debate as to whether or not Fluttershy is, in fact, a tree, or simply the pony equivalent of a furry. It also inspired a number of pictures of Fluttershy as a tree, often combined with the phrase "Leaf-ing the dream!" Much later, the [[Cold Opening]] of "Hurricane Fluttershy" has a scene in which Rainbow Dash addresses a tree as Fluttershy and said tree turns out to be Fluttershy trying to hide using a tree costume. Even later, WeLoveFine came out with [[The Merch|merchandise]] depicting Fluttershy as a tree or with a tree.</ref>
* In the episode "Green isn't Your Color", a shot of a magazine cover featuring a mopey-looking Fluttershy with black streaks in her hair inspired a brief burst of "[http://www.ponibooru.org/post/list/emoshy/1 Emoshy]" art.
* Fluttershy is [[Blatant Lies|very loud.]] <ref> Most videos on youtube featuring Fluttershy (usually videos lasting less then 10 seconds) doing something that makes quiet noises (screaming, for example) will almost always have people complaining about how loud the video is, despite the truth being the opposite.</ref>
** Tying into that, Fluttershy as the [[The Elder Scrolls|Dovahkin]] is ''incredibly'' common.
** Alternatively, she's [[Blatant Lies|violent]].
** Fluttershy is [[Blatant Lies|weak and helpless]]. <ref> In ''The Return of Harmony Part 1'', Discord attempts to get Fluttershy riled up in order to discord her, but Fluttershy instead fullheartedly and quietly agrees with everything he's saying about her, including that she's "weak and helpless", much to the hilarity of the fans who have seen her face dragons and manticores alike, [[Staring Down Cthulhu|staring down a]] [[Evil Eye|cockatrice]], and many other awesome deeds (most recently, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|wrestling a bear]]). Many insist that she has [[Hoist By His Own Petard|trolled]] [[Troll|Discord]]. A few videos on Youtube have Fluttershy saying she's weak and helpless, followed by a montage of her Crowning Moments of Awesome.</ref>
* 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 (Disney)|Bambi]]'s mother, the death of [[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Aerith]], or the ending of ''[[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]].

* [[Fat Albert|Hey hey hey,]] stay out of my shed! <ref> How Fluttershy from [[Pony Dot Mov (Web Animation)|Pony Dot Mov]] ends most of her lines, hinting at her [[Dark Secret]] and perhaps a piece of [[Schmuck Bait]].</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>
** Related to the above, Fluttersweater <ref>Anthro-Fluttershy tends to be a [[Sweater Girl]].</ref>
* Futashy <ref>Drawing Fluttershy as a hermaphrodite.</ref>
* Fluttershy is an honorary Japanese. <ref>When fansubbed versions of the show began to show up on [[Nico Nico Douga]], Japanese fans decided that Fluttershy's similarity to the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] archetype meant she was honorarily Japanese. Although mostly localized to Japan, a few articles and blogs have brought the meme to the attention of Western fans.</ref>
 
=== Rarity ===
* Dumb Rock! <ref> Said by Filly Rarity in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" when her horn leads her to an apparently-ordinary rock.</ref>
* No one must ever know that I am part marshmallow! <ref> A shot of Rarity reaching towards the camera from "A Dog and Pony Show", with her hooves drawn in a way that they resemble marshmallows, inspired a string of jokes about Rarity actually being a marshmallow, much like "Fluttertree" and "Scootachicken". This, in turn, led to jokes about Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle being a marshmallow too. "Marshmallow pony" was eventually used by [[The Merch|WeLoveFine]] to refer to Rarity in the online description and tags of their ''Rarity Nouveau'' [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1646 art print] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1647 and] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1648 shirt].</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>

It even has its own [http://raritybeingdraggedtoherdestiny.tumblr.com/ Ask Tumblr blog].</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.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiPy2woAZE4 "Look Out! Here Comes Tom!"] <ref> A scene with Tom hurled out of a window resulted in jokes of him being replaced with anyone else named Tom.</ref>
* <Mundane problem> is the... WORST... ''POSSIBLE''...''' ''THING!'' ''' <ref> Rarity being a hammy drama queen in "Lesson Zero"</ref>
* "I'll show you something worthy of Canterlot!" <ref> From "Sweet and Elite", after Rarity gets ridiculed by some upper-class ponies for being "country", she retreats to her suite at Canterlot castle, says this line, and whips up a design for Twilight's new dress. It inspired a meme where Rarity says her line, and is shown to draw something silly, then react to it with delight or disgust as appropriate.</ref>
* Rarity is Jewish. <ref>Amongst the many drawings of ponies doing Christmas activities, the fans have decided - for unclear reasons, but possibly based on either the accent used by [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E5 Sisterhooves Social|their mother]] or an old [[Religious Stereotype]] about tailors or jewelers being Jewish - to have Rarity and Sweetie Belle celebrate Hanukkah. One Equestria Daily banner even shows them playing dreidel with Pinkie Pie and losing heavily.</ref>
* Rarity's newspaper reaction. <ref>A three panel image exploitable, based on Rarity reading the school paper in "Ponyville Confidential". The top and bottom shots are of Rarity reading the paper intently, and a shocked reaction, but the order may change to justify the joke around the middle panel. Also has been used as "implied facehoof" reaction images, as at one point, Rarity's look while holding the newspaper is similar to [[Tommy Lee Jones]]' character in [[No Country for Old Men]] as blunt non-vocal criticism of a stupid idea.</ref>
 
=== Spike ===
* Tailboner. <ref> The same thing as a wingboner, but for Spike's tail.</ref>
** Pictures of Spike using his tail for digging from "A Dog And Pony Show" with the caption "[[Community (TV)|I have the weirdest boner right now]]."
* Spike is quickly becoming identified as a stoner. <ref> Similarly to the Bedroom Eyes meme above, the [[Running Joke]] of someone pausing a clip of an episode and seeing Spike with an expression of someone with cannabinoid intoxication. That, and his portrayal in later [[Pony Dot Mov (Web Animation)|Pony Dot Mov]] episodes.</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>
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/spike_is_rainbow_dash/1 Congratulations, Spike! You're the new Rainbow Dash!] <ref>In part 2 of the Season 2 premiere, Rainbow Dash is missing and thus they have no Element of Loyalty. Twilight, who is stressed out and in a hurry, gives Spike the Element of Loyalty necklace and says he's the "new Rainbow Dash".</ref>
** "That won't end well..." <ref>Right after Twilight makes Spike the new Rainbow Dash, he's afraid of what will happen to him once Rainbow Dash finds out. This has led to various images of what would happen when [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/63085 Rainbow Dash finally does confront him on the matter.]</ref>
** Pega-Spike <ref> Spike transformed into a Pegasus has appeared in many fanarts and at least one fanfic, starting from back in season 1. More recent fanart naturally depicts his Pegasus version as a recolor of Rainbow Dash, thanks to the previous meme.</ref>
* And then Spike died. <ref>Early on in Luna Eclipsed, Rainbow Dash scares Pinkie, Spike and some fillies with her lightning cloud. Spike promptly passes out, and is carried off by Twilight; because of his shaking and drooling, nearly every online chat about the episode will invariably include a "Spike died." comment.</ref>
* Spike is the new main character. <ref> Until "Sweet and Elite", Spike had appeared in more episodes of Season 2 than Twilight Sparkle, who was missing from "Sisterhooves Social", and was only one of two characters (the other, humorously enough, being Applejack) to appear in every season 2 episode up to that point. This meme has since become heavily ironic as Spike hasn't appeared on the show reqularly since "Hearth's Warming Eve."</ref>
* SPIKE WANT! <ref> In "Secret of My Excess", Spike goes into a rapid growth spurt and displays the infamous dragon greed. As he gets bigger, his speech gradually devolves into yelling [[Hulk Speak|"SPIKE WANT!"]]. </ref>
** Run! It's Spikezilla! <ref> Also from "Secret of My Excess", Spike's form at his peak size drew a lot of comparisons to the American version of ''[[Godzilla]]''.</ref>
 
== The Cutie Mark Crusaders ==
* Photoshopping fake cutie marks onto the Cutie Mark Crusaders. (Bonus points if it's the cutie marks belonging to the previous generation versions of the Crusaders.)
* The Sex Pit <ref>The Crusaders' solution to the problem they caused in ''Hearts and Hooves Day'' involved getting Big Macintosh to fall into a deep pit they dug with a matress at the bottom. The fun here comes in the form of shopping in other characters and/or altering the Crusaders' reactions.</ref>
* Crusader 4koma/Reaction Crusaders [[hottip:Explanation:Also from ''Hearts and Hooves Day'', the Crusader's faces when they're hiding in a bush [[http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/31a77fcb71dfde351154b541be329923/130372%20-<!-- 20apple_bloom20Cutie_Mark_Crusaders%20gaijin_4koma%20hearts_and_hooves_day%20Reaction_guys%20scootaloo%20Sweetie_Belle.png bears more than a passing resemblance to the Gaijin 4koma/Reaction Guys meme]].]] -->
 
=== Apple Bloom ===
* ONE. DAY. <ref> in "Sisterhooves Social", Apple Bloom lets Sweetie Belle borrow Applejack for the contest, but makes sure she understands it's only temporary. This line [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1230 made it onto] an [[The Merch|officially licensed shirt]] in less than a week after the episode's premiere.</ref>
* Applecopter. <ref> In "The Cutie Pox", one of Apple Bloom's loop-de-hoop tricks involves spinning the hoop around her tail fast enough that she takes off like a helicopter.</ref>
* "[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/My_Sister%27s_Speaking_in_x/1 My Sister's Speaking [X]!]" <ref> A snowclone spawned from another scene in "The Cutie Pox", where Apple Bloom gets a fleur-de-lis cutie mark that causes her to compulsively speak French, to which a baffled and horrified Applejack remarks "My sister's speakin' Fancy!" This scene inspired a few comics where Apple Bloom is forced to speak in other "languages", such as Chinese, British English, "Internet", Wingdings, and [[Oblivion|Daedric]].</ref>
** Gangsta Bloom <ref>The fleur-de-lis is also the gang sign of [[Saints Row|the 3rd Street Saints]]. This has not passed the fans by.</ref>
* Apple Dictionary <ref>Like Sweetie Belle before her, in ''Family Appreciation Day'', it's Apple Bloom's turn to be called a dictionary following her lamentations about Granny Smith representing her family on the eponymous day.</ref>
* Bunny Bloom <ref>Apple Bloom wears a rabbit suit in Family Appreciation Day. The fans think it makes her [[Tastes Like Diabetes|extremely]] [[Moe Moe|cute]].</ref>
 
=== Scootaloo ===
* Scootabuse <ref> When asked whether Scootaloo is Rainbow Dash's little sister [[Lauren Faust]] said no, stating that Dash would not be a good big sister. Some fans took this a little too far, which resulted in various fanarts depicting Rainbow Dash physically abusing Scootaloo, some more gruesome than others. On the other hand, [http://mixermike622.deviantart.com/art/You-re-The-Best-244020273 this comic] strongly suggests that Rainbow Dash doesn't necesarily need to be [[Abusive Parents|the one doing the abusing.]] It also, however, leads us right into...</ref>
** Scootalove <ref> Formed as a reaction to Scootabuse, consisting of ''heartwarming'' fanart and fanfics about Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. This has, in turn, led to such things as "ScootaBDSM" and other bizarre images.</ref>
* Scootachicken <ref> Apple Bloom calling Scootaloo a chicken in "Stare Master" inspired a lot of jokes about Scootaloo being a ''literal'' chicken, and even led to [[The Merch|officially licensed shirts]] featuring [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1194-3428.jpg Scootaloo] [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1194-3429.jpg as] [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1196-3433.jpg a] [http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1196-3434.jpg chick] and [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1503 Scootaloo with a chicken (and Winona)]. This meme is sometimes combined with "Scootabuse", depicting Kentucky Fried Scootaloo and Scootaloo-flavored ramen noodles.</ref>
** Pinkie Pie dressing up as a chicken for Nightmare Night spawned a few more jokes about this.
** Scootadodo <ref> And ''then'' jokes emerged of Scootaloo being a dodo, after a clip from the season 2 premiere was posted in which Sweetie Belle calls Scootaloo a dodo.</ref>
 
=== Sweetie Belle ===
* Sweetieabuse. <ref> In much the same way as Scootabuse, Sweetie Belle isn't immune to being treated badly by her sister. Various fanart depicts her as actually being an illegitimate child of Rarity's by whom she's very embarrassed. She's also depicted as being a [[The Ditz|ditz]] and living in a cupboard under the stairs.</ref>
** Sweetie Poo. <ref> A far more [[Toilet Humor|immature]] and [[Nausea Fuel|gross]] variation of Sweetie abuse. In addition to being a [[The Ditz|ditz]], Sweetie is presented as being incontinent, and uncontrollably defecating in large quantities.</ref>
* Sweetie Derelle. <ref> Another unflattering depiction of Sweetie Belle being an extremely loud annoying sibling - specifically, a picture of her shouting a long string of capit[[Interrupting Meme|AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]]l A's is used to flag threads with [[NSFW]] content. Naturally, it's been photoshopped to look like other characters.</ref>
* Sweetie Dictionary <ref> Not long after the season 2 premiere aired, Scootaloo's remark "What are you, a dictionary?" inspired pictures of Sweetie Belle as a dictionary.</ref>
* Dumb Fabric! <ref> Said by Sweetie Belle in "The Show Stoppers" when a roll of fabric gets away from her. Made into [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=736 a] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=737 shirt] & [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1285 hoodie].</ref>
* "I, uh, really like her mane..." in response to a fan's OC pony (most of which aren't really that great, due to Sturgeon's Law). The quote comes from Sweetie Belle's original reaction in being forcefully offered a raggedy old doll named "Smarty Pants" by a crazy Twilight.
** Has since expanded to a response to just about anything.
* It's becoming popular to post various images inside Sweetie Belle's thought bubble in "Sisterhooves Social".
* Sweetie Slide/Scootie Belle <ref> A scene from Sisterhooves Social where Sweetie [http://crunchnugget.deviantart.com/art/Scootie-Belle-267558044 slides across the floor] using her hind legs. [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1219 Has] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1343 subsequently] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1802 appeared] [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2432 on] [[The Merch|officially licensed apparel]].</ref>
* Sweetie Bot <ref> As re-imagined in the [[Abridged Series]] "[[Friendship Is Witchcraft]]", Sweetie Belle is actually a robot, given a robotic voice (think a cuter version of [[G La DOS]]), and has questionable means to an end.</ref>
* "OH COME ON!" <ref>Sweetie Belle's reaction in "Hearts & Hooves Day" when Cheerilee and Big Macintosh fail to hit it off the first time, used in response to an unexpected result of a highly anticipated event (such as the [[Mass Effect 3]] ending).</ref>
 
== The Princesses ==
* [http://fav.me/d3jam2z BLEEEEH ALFALFA MONSTER] <ref> From a [http://fav.me/d3htjng popular fan-art] of Celestia and Luna as fillies. The meme itself began when a member of Know Your Meme known as [[Tropers/C Charmander K|C Charmander K]], also a known Troper, used the image as his avatar.</ref>
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/cadence%20guessing_game/1 Princess Cadence is X] <ref>Based on the season 2 finale's second synopsis ''[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/episode-synopsis-announcement-canterlot.html "Twilight discovers a dark secret about Cadence right before the wedding"]''. It's an exploitable meme which contains a picture of Princess Cadence to the left, an equal sign in the middle, and a random picture to the right, implying that Cadence is somehow related to the other picture and/or has something to do with her dark secret.</ref>
 
=== Celestia ===
* Princess Trollestia <ref> Depicting Celestia [[Ron the Death Eater|as a prankster who annoys and messes with her subjects for the lulz]] is so common it got its own [[Fan Nickname]].</ref>
** TO THE MOON! <ref> A recurring joke whenever a Pony thinks they'll be punished by Celestia, or adding it on like it's a threat to a bird like Philomena, all due to the fact [[Never Live It Down|she banished Luna to the moon]]. It's also considered her go-to solution when things don't work for her.</ref>
*** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the fanimation ''[[Friendship Is Magic Bitch]]'', which also spawned a few more memes:
**** "Do you like bananas? So, you're a bitch that likes bananas? Well, that's great. Cause you 'bout to GO bananas! On the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAA! [[This Is for Emphasis Bitch|Be-YETCH!]]" <ref> in said fanimation, Princess Celestia asks the ponies who come to complain about her rule if they like bananas, [[Disproportionate Retribution|then sends them all to the moon regardless of their answer.]] Including [[The Woobie|her sister.]] The line "do you like MMMMMMM bananas?" has since made it onto an official [[The Merch|shirt]], ''[http://www.welovefine.com/2117-do-you-like-bananas.html Do You] [http://www.welovefine.com/2129-do-you-like-bananas.html Like Bananas?]''</ref>
*** There's also a variant which involves being "banished to season 2".
** Princess Molestia <ref> Slightly less common is [[Memetic Molester|depicting Celestia as acting HIGHLY inappropriate]] with Twilight, Luna, and others. She even got [http://askprincessmolestia.tumblr.com/ her own "ask" blog].</ref>
* "No one mare should have all that power!" <ref> Snowclone of "No one man should have all that power" (the refrain from [[Kanye West]]'s also-memetic "Power"), related to expressing doubt in Celestia's rule. Likely introduced by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tjb14VoWjg this fan video's intro] - there's also a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8luNcDxQ0Uc side-by-side comparison] with the original video, for the curious.</ref>
 
=== Luna ===
* "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!]
* [[Cargo Ship|Luna/Abacus]] [[OTP]] <ref>After the fanfiction ''[[Progress (Fanfic)|Progress]]'' depicted Luna as obsessed with an abacus for various reasons, it became common for other stories to mention Luna's extreme attachment to [[I Call It Vera|"Abby"]], even in stories that romantically pair her with someone else.</ref>.
* 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]].
** Along the same lines, the leaked episode synopsis rekindled interest in the [[What Happened to The Mouse|"Where My Woona!?"]] meme, seeing as she's finally making an appearance in the show proper since the whole Nightmare Moon incident.
* '''"[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).
** '''PRINCESS CAPSLOCK'''/CANTERLOCK <ref>The Royal Canterlot Voice has been described as her talking with capslock on, and various jokes about capslock were re-purposed (such as "The Royal Canterlot Voice is cruise control for cool").</ref>
* Canon Luna is the best Luna. <ref> Said as a form of praise to Luna's first canonical appearance in "Luna Eclipsed", after all the fan work and speculation that had surrounded her canon personality for the whole year prior to that episode.</ref>
** Luna killed my fanfics! <ref> The direct opposite of the above.</ref>
** Redo the fanon! <ref> A call to all fans to redo their fanwork to match Canon Luna. Some, like the comic that started the "BLEEEEH ALFALFA MONSTER" meme, have already been redone in the [http://egophiliac.deviantart.com/art/we-are-not-amused-264700507 Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice]. The Luna tumblr accounts also immediately adapted it.</ref>
** [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/74687 Trollestia did it!] <ref>Fans who really did not expect Luna's behavior in said episode already found a target to jokingly blame it on.</ref>
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/luna_ducreux/1 Luna Ducreux] <ref>Spawned from the Joseph Ducreux meme where famous catch phrases and memes are translated into Old English.

* Luna is friggen' useless. <ref>Luna was conspicuously absent during the battle sequence from [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding]], despite even Celestia engaging in combat. Many a fan took note, and wondered just what she was [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/171071 doing at the time].</ref>
** Counterpoint: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrpXtoPauXY Luna] [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/luna_punch/1 PUNCH!] <ref>A few frames of Luna rearing back threateningly got edited into her decking Chrysalis as an alternate ending to A Canterlot Wedding.

=== Trixie ===
* Trixie wears her heart on her cloak. <ref> Almost every shipping fic with Trixie has one of the Mane Cast salvage and repair her hat and cloak as a romantic gesture. The hat and cloak themselves are usually described as either an inheritance from an adored family member, or things Trixie made herself with her magic when she first started her show, and almost always have some sentimental value for Trixie, regardless if the fic is shipping or not.</ref>
** 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>

* 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>
** Exploding chocolate milk of glass/[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Combustible Chocolate Milk]] <ref> From the same scene, after Discord drinks the glass, he throws away the cylinder of chocolate milk, which [[Made of Explodium|explodes offscreen]].</ref>
 
=== Photo Finish ===
* Photo Finish from "Green Isn't Your Color" is another [[Fountain of Memes]]. "It iz time to make... ''de magicks!''"
* Even her X is graceful! <ref> A snowclone that shows up on videos of Fluttershy doing something cute, funny, or both. Inspired by Photo Finish's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIjUMxEbJ3U "Even her sneezes are graceful!"] remark in "Green Isn't Your Color"; thus, it's frequently typed in a bad German [[Funetik Aksent]].</ref>
 
=== Big Macintosh ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vht4dWEaV8s "Eeyup".] <ref> Big Macintosh's [[Catch Phrase]] is used to reply to pretty much anything, be it in response to [[Captain Obvious]], a sarcastic reply, or genuine agreement.</ref>
* [[Cargo Ship|Big Mac x Smarty Pants OTP!]] <ref> Near the end of Lesson Zero, after everyone reverts to normal from the spell that Twilight Sparkle placed on the Smarty Pants doll, Big Mac notices the discarded doll and takes it for himself.</ref>
** Big Macintosh is a brony. <ref>See previous explanation.</ref>
* "Big Macintosh gets ALL the mares!" <ref>A popular fan depiction of Big Macintosh as a [[Memetic Sex God]]. The phrase is used as a reactionary comment or title to any fan work or discussion depicting him as this.</ref>
** [http://youtu.be/ydK-bIVsjGE This scene] from ''Luna Eclipsed'' has only served to [http://askbigmcintosh.tumblr.com/post/12019382503 fuel the fire].
*** "[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wpXhyR_1dZ0/TrMYHn_hy_I/AAAAAAAARto/5gSxw56z7IY/s1600/3.jpg is] [[Accidental Innuendo|very gentle]]".
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/serious_mac/1 Serious Mac.] <ref>Within hours of the Cider Squeezy episode airing, Mac's unusually stern "Apple Family huddle" has been subjected to exploitable 3-panel comics. Typically it involves him shamelessly depressing the hell out of another character.</ref>
 
 
== Background Pony Memes ==
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Whoof/Whooves]]. <ref> Another background character, making his first prominent appearance in "Winter Wrap-Up", though he cameos in the pilot, a male pony with brown fur and an hourglass cutie mark who kinda looks like the Tenth Doctor.</ref>
** It also has a followup meme, involving splicing clips from the Doctor Who episode ''Day Of the Moon'' into clips of its show. <ref> Specifically, the clip where one of the Silence is recorded saying "You should kill us all on sight", and then turned into a post hypnotic suggestion so people can defeat them. This often gets superimposed on scenes of My Little Pony as a creepy spoof of subliminal messages.</ref>
** While [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1453017/2307272367 most likely a coincidence], one of the background ponies during the party in "Sweet and Elite" looks suspiciously like the Eleventh Doctor.
** A blue pony with a blonde mane from "The Best Night Ever", "Sweet and Elite", "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", and "A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2" looks like the Fifth Doctor.
*** He's speculated to be the Fifth Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor, or the Seventeenth Master <ref> The Doctor's rival</ref>.
** "Sweet and Elite" also had [[Fan Nickname|Pokey Pierce]] appear with an hourglass cutie mark while wearing a red tailcoat and an ascot, making him look like the Third Doctor.
** 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''.
* "Brushie brushie brushie" <ref> A Photoshopped pic of background pony [[All There in The Script|Minuette]] ([[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknamed]] "Colgate" since her blue and white mane resembles toothpaste) getting her head brushed with a toothbrush inspired a string of similar pictures with other ponies, frequently getting brushed in certain other parts of the anatomy.</ref>
* 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.
** Octavia adds her own spin to the trend by having her playing animation synchronized with a piece of [[Classical Music]], making it look like she's playing the piece herself.
* Bon Bon: Equestria's top voice actress. <ref> Background pony Bon Bon has had speaking parts in five different episodes ("Call of the Cutie", "Green Isn't Your Color", "Lesson Zero", "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", and "Putting Your Hoof Down"), each time with a different voice. This has led to some fans joking Bon Bon is actually a talented voice actress who keeps changing the way she sounds in order to keep her skills sharp.</ref>
* "{{[[[Fan Nickname]] PONY}}] [TOY NAME]" / "[TOY NAME] {{[[[Fan Nickname]] PONY}}]" <ref>Since the release of the blind bag toys that resemble the background ponies, some fans have adopted the toy names as their second names. Be it their surname, first name, or even their secret real name in [http://tinyurl.com/7sbsrtu Carrot Top's case].</ref>
** Examples of name combinations are Lyra Heartstrings (which has since become [[Ascended Fanon]]), Blues Noteworthy or Noteworthy Blues, Rose's full name being Roseluck and Berryshine "Berry" Punch.
** One that happened afterwards is Trixie--who is named in the show--being officially given the surname Lulamoon in the fifth wave after the fourth wave infamously called her just Lulamoon.
* Octo Octavia/Octotavia <ref>In a similar vein to sea pony Lyra, an art trend where Octavia is depicted as an "[[Mix and Match Critters|octopus pony]]". It started out as a simple pun to Octavia's name and its comparison to the word "octopus" and one of the nicknames that is often used by fans: "Octi/Octie/Octy" which is similar in name to [[The Powerpuff Girls|Bubble's]] stuffed octopus. Its inspiration came from a [[Vocaloid]] meme where one of the Vocaloid characters (Luka Megurine) is depicted as an octopus head known as "[http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Tako_Luka Tako Luka]". The art trend was started by John Joseco[http://lovetomorrowlove.tumblr.com/post/13645767129\][http://fav.me/d4hzpxl\]. Other artists soon followed.[http://datcatwhatdances.tumblr.com/post/13657386652\][http://askmlcblobs.tumblr.com/post/13665195438\][http://slugboxponies.tumblr.com/post/13654949396\][http://allthecrookedtrees.tumblr.com/post/13703553871\][http://fav.me/d4hvs6g\]</ref>
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3X_pFcBwtE Crackle] is best dragon! <ref> Crackle, a one-shot gag character that looks a ''lot'' like Rarity's [[Paper Thin Disguise]] dragon costume, has since become something of a memetic character due to its bizarre appearance.</ref>
* Background pony copies are actually changelings! <ref> Now that "A Canterlot Wedding" is out, people have designed this as an explanation for "clones" of background characters.</ref>
 
=== Derpy Hooves ===
* [[Memetic Bystander|Derpy Hooves]]. <ref> One pegasus in the background in episode 1 appeared cockeyed. In short order she was given a [[Fan Nickname]] and associated with mail and the postal service. She's also been given an obsession with muffins (based on a dreamy exclamation of "muffin" in "Applebuck Season" which [[Beam Me Up Scotty|may or may not have been said by her]]), a unicorn daughter named Dinky, the ability to do anything [[Achievements in Ignorance|provided she forgets that it should be impossible]], a friendship with another background pony known as "Carrot Top", and a bad habit of raiding Carrot Top's refrigerator ("[[Carrot Cake Storybook (Webcomic)|I emptied your fridge]]" has become a meme in itself).</ref>
** [[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>
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/i_emptied_your_fridge/1 "I emptied your fridge."] <ref>A [[Catch Phrase]] and [[Running Gag]] where Derpy empties the entire contents of somepony else's fridge for varying reasons or even no given reason at all. May or may not be through the consumption of the food inside. Usually Carrot Top's fridge to her annoyance due to the meme's [[Carrot Cake Storybook (Webcomic)|origin]].</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>
* Where's Derpy? <ref>Derpy has appeared in every episode since "The Best Night Ever", and fans have made a habit of pointing her out in the same vein as [[Where's Waldo]]. Starting with "Lesson Zero", Derpy's appearances have become a [[Once Per Episode]] [[Running Gag]], to the point that [[The Hub]] themselves [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=275448695837553 posted] [http://twitter.com/#!/HubTVNetwork/status/148052378967478272 on] their [[Face Book]] and [[Twitter]] pages about keeping an eye out for Derpy in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|Hearth's Warming Eve]]" (incidentally making her name even more official than it already was).</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>
* "I just don't know what went wrong." <ref>Derpy's first spoken line in [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E14 The Last Roundup|The Last Roundup]] is often quoted whenever somepony makes a mistake. Also often used in a [[Tear Jerker|sad context]] concerning the edit. Sometimes accompanied by the emoticon 9_6</ref>
* They changed her voice/eyes, now we shall rage. <ref>In response to the edit, dozens of reaction videos had soon followed depicting frustrated, irritated, and enraged feelings from the fans.</ref>
* Derpy Drama/Derpygate. <ref>A name for all aforementioned memes concerning Derpy's recent controversy. The other name is obviously referencing the infamous Watergate scandal.</ref>
* THEY CHANGED ONE VERSION OF ONE EPISODE! EVERYONE PANIC! <ref>Fans had interpreted Hasbro's statement(s) to mean that Derpy would ''only'' be changed in the iTunes version, as the DVD release still contains the original Derpy. When the fans ''still'' kept raging and crying, the backlash meme began.</ref>
* This character might be considered offensive; expect censorship. <ref> The brief Derpy scare brought on a joke where similar characters will be censored. Including the mental patient barking Pony in "Read It and Weep" and Crackle in "Dragon Quest"</ref>
 
=== Lyra Heartstrings ===
* 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>
* Seapony Lyra. <ref> One fanartist has started popularizing a seapony version of Lyra [http://johnjoseco.deviantart.com/art/Go-Away-Sea-Pony-Lyra-258177483 like this one]. She's watching you [[A Date With Rosie Palms|clop]] clop clop!</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>
* Multi-purpose, [[Blatant Lies|completely non-sexual]] [[Everythings Better With Plushies|Lyra plushie]] <ref>A sex toy shaped like Lyra was put up for auction. Waves of fanart followed shortly, with characters using the plush and it's, erm, "cavity" as everything from oven mitts to an arrow quiver.</ref>
** It even has an [[Ask a Pony]] [http://asklyratheplushie.tumblr.com/ blog]!
 
 
== [[Original Characters]] Memes ==
* Krastos the Glue Maker <ref>[http://www.npr.org/2011/06/25/137386121/bill-clinton-plays-not-my-job During a game-show/interview on NPR], former US president [[Bill Clinton]] stated "Krastos the Glue Maker" should be the lead villain on the show. Krastos has started to appear in fan art showing him interacting with the ponies (as well as jokes showing the characters reacting to bottles of glue), drawn as a human with long arms wearing a hat and bib overalls, a bear with a gluepot and hammer, an armored pony, and other designs.</ref>
* LAUREN FAUST IS BEST PONY. <ref> After Ms Faust [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/exclusive-season-1-retrospective.html drew her own ponysona] the fandom almost immediately accepted her as a new OC, declaring her to be the third [[Fan Nickname|alicorn]] of Equestria, or even Celestia and Luna's parent. Still there's that matter with reclassifying species though.</ref>
** Lauren Faust is the only one allowed to have an Alicorn OC. <ref> Said in response for Ms. Faust having an alicorn OC as alicorn OCs are normally considered [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]] and the arguement is because she is creator, she is allowed to represent herself as an alicorn without it being considered a [[Mary Sue]].</ref>
* I really like her/his... mane? <ref> Often said in response to seeing someone's OC as a reference to Sweetie Belle's reaction to Twilight's less-than-impressive "Smarty Pants" doll.</ref>
** I ''really'' like her/his mane! <ref> Another reference, in this case it's to Sweetie Belle's reaction once Twilight brainwashes her into liking the "Smarty Pants" doll. Generally used for cases when someone's OC is actually considered a pretty cool pony design.</ref>
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/coke_pony/1 Coke Pony] <ref> A [[Anthropomorphic Personification|anthropomorphic ponyfication]] of a bottle of Coca-Cola. She is an Earth pony with red hair, a brown transparent glass for a body, and a bottle of coke for a cutie mark. Her inside is hollow and instead is filled with coke. Drawn by various fan artists and made a cameo in Fluffle Puff's game ''[http://fav.me/d4rcb9h "GO FAST"]''.</ref>
 
 
== Merchandise Memes ==
* PONY VERBS THE NOUN <ref>Some of the boxes that the toys come in have stickers that seem to [[Clarke's Law for Girls Toys|instruct what the pony does]], such as "PONY PULLS THE WAGON". This relatively minor snowclone was the result.</ref>
* Since there is a toy for it, a few fanarts depict Applejack with a pink pickup truck, always with a cardboard cutout of Twilight Sparkle in the truckbed.
** Naturally, the memetic nature of the Cardboard Cutout made an ''[[Alan Wake]]'' crossover [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/37018 inevitable].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbBbV_zP1d8 EHT'S TWALAHT SPORKLES BAHLEWN] <ref> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMatVdLyHq8 A commercial for MLP merchandise] gives [[The Other Darrin|a rather failed attempt at Applejack's accent]].</ref>
* "No one man should have all that pony!" <ref> When a particularly thorough merchandise collection is on display in a forum. Reference to Kayne West's "Power" video recreated as the opening to Ponies: The Anthology.</ref>
* DAMN YOU, HABSRO!! <ref> Common exclamation of bad news on the pony front, placing the blame on one of the powers that be, or an everyday troll. Referring to when copies of episodes on Youtube were taken down by a copyright claim from [http://bronies.memebase.com/2011/08/28/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-habsro-habsro-habsro/ Habsro.]</ref>
** PRAISE HABSRO!! <ref> Inversion of above.</ref>
* The Doggie Doo Game. <ref> A commercial for [http://www.doggiedoogame.com/ this game] ran during the episode "Sisterhooves Social". This has not escaped the notice of the fans.</ref>
** Creepily enough, there was already a video mashing up the theme song and another ad for the same game four months prior to the episode.
* "Fanon names are best names." <ref>A belief and phrase uttered by those who refuse to accept the Blind bag toy names as a particular background pony's official name. Reasons include their toy names not being confirmed as canon in the show yet due to the fact that the toy department and the animation studio are working separately from each other, their toy designs, especially the character profile cards that came along with the toys, are too different from their supposed show counterparts to be the same pony, and because they just don't like the toy names in general.</ref>
** "Toy names are best names." <ref>The antithesis of the one above. There are in fact those who took a liking on the toy names but this one is usually invoked by others to [[Troll]] those who believe that the [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]] are the only true name.</ref>
*** Some fans take a [[Take a Third Option|third option]] and combine the two, making one or the other a surname, a full name, or a nickname.
*** Hasbro has officially made it naming policy in the fifth wave of Blind Bags to combine the names for [[Ascended Fanon|Lyra]] Heartstrings and Trixie [[Unfortunate Names|Lulamoon]]. PRAISE BE TO HASBRO!!
* Star Swirl the Not so Bearded <ref>A fusion of the show's depiction of Star Swirl and [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/57960 the toyline's Star Swirl]. This fan-made version of Star Swirl is a mare who possesses the color scheme and cutie mark of the toy Star Swirl and sports the unicorn horn, wizard hat and cape of the show's Star Swirl. [http://fav.me/d4glutz These] [http://fav.me/d4h1te9 are] [http://fav.me/d4hr5lf some] [http://fav.me/d4iidkq examples].</ref>
* Comic shorts in magazines of various languages are a fountain of memes, mostly due to their questionable quality, for example reusing low-quality vectors.
