== 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.
Line 104:
 
== Youtube Memes ==
* Setting clips of ''MLP: FiM'' to audio of other things, the more [[Hot -Blooded]] or [[Rated "M" for Manly|macho]] the better: ''[[Starcraft|Pony]][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJbAT1wzS8U craft 2]'', ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] [[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim (Video Game)|VI:]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egrlzkKa6O8 Equestria]'', ''[[Call of Duty Black Ops (Video Game)|Call Of Cutie]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeCODFpKVJ8 Blank Ops]'', ''[[Mass Effect|Pony]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqpyAlvyP3Y Effect 2]'', (surely inevitably) ''[[Three Hundred|300]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTlGYS6rAfA Ponies]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPO4x2Wm0xY Friendship Is Magic] [[Pirates of the Caribbean|At World's End]]'', ''[[The Dark Knight Saga|The Rainbow]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfu_Zn5zkX4 Knight]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|Lord of the]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coExS8nrsGY Ponies]'', ''[[Van Helsing|Van]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAJlPXTNe8Q Sparkle]'', ''[[Inglourious Basterds|Inglourious]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bxAyP6uJ4k Ponies]'', ''[[V for Vendetta|P for]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egvo47uAtOU Pinketta]'', ''[[Power Rangers|Pony Rangers]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Ph94Jbc-k Zeo]'', ''[[Warhammer 40000|Space]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBaDMzFSfo Marene]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za9f1c93FHY Twilight Sparkle is] [[Portal (Video Game)|Still Alive]]'', ''[[Eve Online|My Little Eve:]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Q6M6pO_2s Spaceships are Magic]'', ''[[Fallout New Vegas|Fallout]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4BL4g6NISs New Canterlot]'', ''[[The Witcher|Pony]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNMBF5czSoA 2 Assasins of Kings]'', ''[[Shutter Island|Fluttershy]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dmcB-DrYNw Island]'', ''[[Thor (Film)|So]][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLDLtQXGB0I ar]'', ''[[Kill Bill|KILL SPIKE]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc_txT_l0TI Vol 1]'', ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Tengen Toppa]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L6MJimBc-s Pony Lagann]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHLkTh7YVxU Spike Fights The Power], ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Bs22TbtVI Puella] [http://youtu.be/sUYwmKjhUXA Magi] [http://youtu.be/jERuovcS0Ec PONY] [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Magica]]'' (Complete with [http://youtu.be/qO7OimRIOn4 Wonderbolt-flavored Morning Rescue]), ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Meet the]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-62QJ4Eutc Ponies]'', ''[[Clash of the Titans|Clash of the]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw9U-SvxftQ Ponies]'', ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni|When the]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULP-IWvfVBU Ponies] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rheWFVoU_DI Cry]''...

(We're still waiting for ''My Little [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]: Befriending Is Magic'', though.)
** On a related note, redoing the openings to other works with a more... equestrian touch. Examples include ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us6nQ_E9waE Pony] [[Cowboy Bebop|Bebop]]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elCj-Y97neI My Little] [[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]!'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOS4huQWa9M Pony] [[Samurai Champloo|Champloo]]'', ''[[Samurai Jack|Samurai]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDY5YpLqypk Applejack]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw0Td8lVG1E Ponysona] [[Persona 3|3]]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvam3L34FEo Ponysona] [[Persona 4|4]]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6esSb1NiHA Peach]'' (''[[Bleach]]''), ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btzNq8VPdF8 My Little] [[One Piece]]'', ''[[Outlaw Star|Outlaw]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlh40k4qCsg Pony]'', and ''[[Blaz Blue|Blaz]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVSgkObIxUc Brony]''.
Line 117:
** There's actually an entire [[Tumblr]] blog dedicated to capturing the strange and hilarious captions that pop up.
* Applejack and Rarity making spooky noises in "Look Before You Sleep". "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KU1GrTgJf4 Oooo][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqj8MK6KlOI oooo]!" Now with a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAwOCDDJCKU music video].
* 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]]. Checking the Trivia page, this has become a [[Running Gag]] in the [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] section.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p50-oWY1pFE There's A Pony For That]. <ref> An advert that has been airing on the Hub recently parodying the iPod Touch/iPhone adverts and their 'There's an App for that' slogan. Includes eNay, [[Angry Birds|Angry Mare]] and Rarity's Secret (Victoria's Secret) to name a few.</ref>
* "[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>
Line 127:
* Seemingly random videos on Youtube will occasionally get a high-voted comment to the effect of "ponies brought me here". 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>
** These videos will often have the comment "This video is now about ponies."
** Somewhat related, but pick a [[Hey Ocean (Music)|Hey Ocean]] music video. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8LbK0Bj_cw Any] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5e8On2p5Uw Hey] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nhssMi2FtA Ocean] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dz73dsMAkE music video]. You'll find tons of comments that pretty much amount to "Oh my gosh, [[Hey, It's That Voice!|it's Applejack/Rainbow Dash]]!"<ref> [[Hey Ocean (Music)|Hey Ocean]]'s lead female singer Ashleigh Ball is the voice actress for Applejack & Rainbow Dash. And now you know why [[The Cast Showoff|she does her own singing]].</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>
Line 169:
* Wet manes. <ref>Fanart showing characters with their manes drenched and hanging down, inspired by a scene with Rarity in "Sisterhooves Social".</ref>
* Baby ponies. <ref>In "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]", one of Rainbow Dash's heroic deeds was saving a baby pony from falling off a cliff. While (older-looking) babies had previously appeared in the [[Spinoff Babies]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrtUFeDB7gg toy commercial] and toys, this was the first time that any appeared in the show itself. With in-show reference for a baby at hand, [http://baby-ponys.deviantart.com/ the fandom had a field day.] And now that "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E12 Baby Cakes|Baby Cakes]]" has aired, they're having another.</ref>
* Smooth Cheerilee / Spike Criminal <ref>A fair number of people have noticed how the [[Nice Hat]] Cheerilee gives Spike in "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E10 Secret of My Excess|Secret of My Excess]]" resembles that worn by [[Michael Jackson]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_D3VFfhvs4&ob=av2n the video for "Smooth Criminal"]. This has resulted in a [http://www.canterlot.com/gallery/image/1152-cheerilee-smooth-criminal/ few] [http://crabmeatstick.deviantart.com/art/Smooth-Cheerilee-273464522 pieces] [http://paradigmpizza.deviantart.com/art/Smooth-Criminal-273284320 of art] depicting either Cheerilee or Spike wearing an outfit that resembles Michael's Moonwalker ensemble and performing the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_Criminal:Smooth Criminal#Anti-gravity_leangravity lean|anti-gravity lean]].</ref>
* 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>
Line 241:
* [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/Doomie/1 Doomie] <ref>explanation A four panel image based on a scene in ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|A Canterlot Wedding Part 2]]'' in which Pinkie asks one of the changelings, [[Fan Nickname|nicknamed]] "Doomie" thanks to Pinkie's line "Do me! Do me!", to transform into her, though what it transforms into is not exactly the [[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Pinkie]] [[My Little Pony G 3|she's]] [[MAD (Animation)|thinking]] [[Pinky and The Brain|of]].</ref>
=== Rainbow Dash ===
* X needs to be about/is now [[Twenty Percent20% More Awesome|20% cooler]]. <ref> From Rainbow Dash's hilariously vague suggestions for her dress in "Suited for Success", "It just needs to be about 20% cooler."</ref>
* TEN. SECONDS. FLAT. <ref> From the pilot, Rainbow Dash claiming she can clear the skies over Ponyville of stray clouds in "Ten seconds flat", and then delivering on that promise.</ref>
* LIVING THE DREAM! <ref> Rainbow Dash, who wants to go to the Grand Galloping Gala so she can show off for the Wonderbolts, says this to Twilight in "The Ticket Master" in an effort to convince Twilight to give her the extra ticket.</ref>
Line 263:
* Rainbow Dash is a lesbian. <ref> The fandom has gone back and forth between [[Dead Horse Trope]] and [[Undead Horse Trope]] with this accusation more times than anypony cares to count. The fact that she's a [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]] isn't helping.</ref>
* Ropes. <ref> She has a tendency to end up tied with ropes by other characters. Fan often joke about the [http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/118139 sexual subtext] that comes with it.</ref>
* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!|CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!]] [[Catch Phrase|SWAG!]] <ref> [[Pony Dot Mov (Web Animation)|Pony Dot Mov]] strikes again, this time with a malfunctioning [[Robot Me]] version of Rainbow Dash.</ref>
 
=== 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>
Line 425:
 
== 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.
Line 441:
** 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>
