My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

** Also, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Angel doesn't like Spike.]]

* During Twilight's [[Sanity Slippage]] moment, she suggests [[Blazing Saddles|building a replica of Ponyville in less than a minute]] in order to keep Princess Celestia from seeing the Parasprite carnage. ([[Word of God]] [https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/208088592516513793 confirms] the reference.)

* "Winter Wrap Up" has an ice skating scene similar to the one in ''[[Bambi]]'', with Spike taking the place of Thumper and Twilight being Bambi.

** Speaking of Thumper, that rabbit Spike's trying to take care of in "Dragonshy" might as ''well'' be Thumper; Spike's noggin learned that the hard way.

** Discord's [[Hypnotic Eyes]] are on loan from [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Kaa]].

** After the first signs of Discord emerge, Twilight has a spell that will [[Idiocracy|fix EVERYTHING]].

* "Return of Harmony, Part 2" ends with an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4wh4FnwiAg almost shot-for-shot] homage to the ending of ''[[Star Wars a New Hope]]'', complete with a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] version of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5N6_NWtVxY Throne Room] [[Tropes Are Not Bad|music]].

** The same episode features a musical homage to [[The Empire Strikes Back]]: Compare [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFp3E_Nz1iY&t=16m57s this] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaVz5djS26c&t=5m23s this].

** The Flim-Flam brothers look a bit like Harold Hill from ''[[The Music Man]]'', and their big musical number is reminiscent of the song "Trouble".

*** At the end of the episode one of them even says "It looks like we've got trouble right here in Ponyville."

** One of the background ponies has a [[Norse Mythology|Mjolnir]] cutie mark.

** Praying to Celestia that it is merely coincidence, but another background pony strongly resembles a certain pony from a certain MLP game that is not suitable for younger audiences.

** The mental patient who sneaks out of a hospital to indulge in the latest hijinks elsewhere. Now, are we talking the barking pony, or [[The A-Team|Murdock?]]

* Pinkie Pie spends much of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E18 A Friend in Deed|A Friend in Deed]]" trying to cheer up [[Winnie the Pooh|a sarcastic, depressed old donkey]] [[Up (animation)|who's very protective of the things he has with which to remember a long-lost love]].

** One of Pinkie's guesses as to what the "C" in C.D.D. stands for is [[The Marx Brothers|"Chico"]].

** Pinkie Pie's [[Sesame Street|repetitions of "yep" and "nope"]] in the opening segment.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKjBViIt-y8 This commercial] features part of [[Meatballs|"Are You Ready for the Summer"]] as sung by Pinkie Pie, [[Dan Vs.|Dan]], and [[Transformers Prime|Megatron]].

** There's also [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=244821235535321 this billboard] [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/pony-billboard-sighted.html in Los Angeles] that is a parody of a billboard advertising ''[[Bridesmaids]]''.

** And in the vein of older iPhone commercials... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p50-oWY1pFE There's a pony for that.] It even includes a pony for fan-blog [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/high-quality-theres-pony-for-that-video.html Equestria Daily].

** And now there's a new ad parodying ''[[Mad Men]]'' in the [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lYppZHD4A6M/TwnP5Npti2I/AAAAAAAACTE/_MzEmNBOoOs/s1600/image.jpeg Los Angeles newspaper].
