History Memes / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicGeneralMemes

* [[{{Crossover}} Crossing]] ''Friendship Is Magic'' with anything and everything has become a meme all of its own. ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' (''FanFic/BetterLivingThroughScienceAndPonies'' and plenty of other fics), ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' (endless Gmod works with both casts), ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' ([[FanficRecs/TouhouCrossover crossed with everything]] anyway, it's MLP's Japanese counterpart), ''Series/DoctorWho'' (thanks to the popularity of Doctor Whoof), Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos, ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' (thanks to Twilight Sparkle and Stocking having similar haircuts and color schemes), ''Franchise/StarTrek'' (thanks to John de Lancie aka Q voicing Discord), ''Franchise/MetalGear''[[labelnote:explanation]](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")[[/labelnote]], and '''many''' more. And practically every character ever has been "ponified" at least once.

* I am gonna LOVE and TOLERATE the SHIT outta you. [[labelnote:explanation]]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 ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', or anyone who criticizes ''Friendship Is Magic''.

* Mordetwi [[labelnote:Explanation]]A CrossoverShip between Twilight Sparkle and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow's'' Mordecai. The meme usually references [[https://www.deviantart.com/bluedog444/art/MordeTwi-Airplanes-319272821 this piece of artwork from 2012,]] which features the two crying with lyrics from Music/{{BoB}}'s "Airplanes" juxtaposed over them. In 2021, several people on [=YouTube=] and [=TikTok=] started recreating the image with everything from animation to live-action. Even Creator/TaraStrong herself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmqvWkYBfo got in on it]] (ft. Creator/RogerCraigSmith).[[/labelnote]]

* "[[SincerityMode I believe in M.A. Larson]]."/"[[SarcasmMode Thanks, M.A. Larson]]!"[[labelnote:explanation]]Slogans of the BrokenBase that emerged upon the reveal that Twilight Sparkle would [[spoiler:become an alicorn]] in the season 3 finale episode. The former group believes the change can work and showed their support for Larson (the episode's writer) in ways like changing their Twitter icons to show a [[http://derpiboo.ru/222510 badge]] of support. The latter group showed their dissent by attaching their slogan to images of famous disasters, sarcastically linking Larson as the cause. The former comes from the viral marketing for ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' while the latter is based on the "Thanks Obama" meme.[[/labelnote]]

** Naturally, the memetic nature of the Cardboard Cutout made an ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' crossover [[http://derpiboo.ru/10064 inevitable]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0ly60b42ig "They're throwing pandas at us!"]] [[labelnote:explanation]]There been many who have criticized season 3 for PanderingToTheBase. So much so that someone made video illustrating how ridiculous this was ("[[PandaingToTheAudience Pandas?]] What the--? You mean ''[[PanderingToTheBase Pandering]]''!?") and the fans ran with it. [[https://twitter.com/MMeghanMcCarthy/status/287712360267907072 Even Meghan McCarthy was in on the joke.]][[/labelnote]]

* Who knew Pinkie Pie would make a great [[Film/{{Hairspray}} Tracy Turnblad]], albeit as a pony? Answer: it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbh0iknJXXA Marespray]]. There's even an MV inspired by the trailer, set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8-OhrWgAb4 Without Love]], with Rainbow Dash as Link, Rarity as Penny and Spike as Seaweed.

* I am gonna LOVE and TOLERATE the SHIT outta you. [[labelnote:explanation]]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 ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', 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]] [[TheMerch 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]]).[[/labelnote]]

* Boop Edits [[labelnote:explanation]]Taking screencaps or gifs of a character and adding in a hand poking them, usually on the nose with a "boop" sound effect.[[/labelnote]]

* Invisible Stallion [[labelnote:explanation]]Tag used on Derpibooru for images (often GIFs) either cropped to or already, look like a pony is being subject to certain activities.[[/labelnote]]

** On a related note, redoing the openings to other works with a more... equestrian touch. Examples include ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us6nQ_E9waE Pony]] [[Anime/CowboyBebop Bebop]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elCj-Y97neI My Little]] LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOS4huQWa9M Pony]] [[Anime/SamuraiChamploo Champloo]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Samurai]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDY5YpLqypk Applejack]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw0Td8lVG1E Ponysona]] [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} 3]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvam3L34FEo Ponysona]] [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} 4]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6esSb1NiHA Peach]]'' (''Manga/{{Bleach}}''), ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btzNq8VPdF8 My Little]] Manga/OnePiece'', ''[[Anime/OutlawStar Outlaw]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlh40k4qCsg Pony]]'', [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Card Captor]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUIF4NQJB-g Derpy]] and ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlue Blaz]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVSgkObIxUc Brony]]''.

** And of course, it tends to be combined with Twilight Sparkle's name, leading to jokes about ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' having well developed plot etc.

* A metric ton of reaction images on the whole, but most notably by far the [[http://derpibooru.org/tags/shrugpony Shrug pony]] 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.

* ''"That's right."'' [[labelnote:explanation]]Originating from the [[http://youtu.be/tp2hrIbQDJI Canterlot Gardens 2012 Voice Actor Panel]], a phrase that Creator/AndrewFrancis has uttered multiple times in the panel with hilarious results. Soon it crept its way into FanArt with [[https://www.derpibooru.org/tags/that%27s+right Shining Armor uttering the phrase]].[[/labelnote]]
* GAK [[labelnote:explanation]]In a similar vein to "Gyrobowl", toy commercials that have been repeated over and over again (sometimes up to four times in a row) during Creator/TheHub's commercial breaks. They caught the attention of the fanbase during the season 3 premiere and soon its livestreams' chat boxes were flooded with "GAK" messages, various videos involving Gak receive a ton of GAK comments, Gak related entries and hashtags (#GAK) began popping up in various social media websites, [[http://www.derpibooru.org/tags/gak fan arts were being made]], even an Ask Tumblr at one point![[/labelnote]]

** In regards to the ponies on Gmod, there's also EPPALJECK, the name given to [[UncannyValley the creepy beta version]] of the Applejack rag-doll. She is terror incarnate, and pretty much the ''Friendship is Magic'' equivalent of Vagineer and Painis Cupcake.

* *cue happy theme song* [[labelnote:explanation]]A bit of a RunningGag on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki about the show's tendency to do a MoodWhiplash with the theme song, such as the cliffhanger at the end of the first episode.[[/labelnote]]

* "IT WAS CHANGELINGS!" [[labelnote:explanation]]In the second season finale "A Canterlot Wedding", the series introduces changelings, evil [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifters]] who [[EmotionEater feed on love]]. Since then, changelings have been used to explain, a la AncientAstronauts 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 OutOfCharacter within the show or fan work (especially) such as ''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 every time they are put in a role). It has even been used to explain the changes to Derpy Hooves in ''The Last Roundup'' or Luna's behavior in ''Luna Eclipsed''. Basically they are used as an excuse as to why a character or a group of characters doesn't seem and/or feel "right".[[/labelnote]]

* The Pony Jar [[labelnote:Explanation '''(Warning: NauseaFuel)''']]Refers to an infamous series of threads posted on [=4chan=] by an anonymous /mlp/ user, in which he documented his progress (complete with photographs) on what he dubs the Pony Cum Jar Project: a project that involves [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin filling a glass jar containing a figurine of Rainbow Dash with semen]]. The story spread like wildfire across the Web when a screenshot of the project was posted on Website/{{Tumblr}}, becoming widely known as a prime (and {{squick}}y) example of PerverseSexualLust taken too far. In addition, simply posting a picture with Rainbow Dash (or any other character) and a glass jar in the same frame will count as a reference, as well as provoke revulsion from anyone unfortunate enough to remember the PCJP.[[/labelnote]]

** "Around the zebras, never relax!" [[labelnote:explanation]]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!"[[/labelnote]]

* [[StarWars Jedi]] ponies [[labelnote:explanation]]A recent art trend involving ponies wielding lightsabers, which has led to all manner of ''StarWars'' crossovers.[[/labelnote]]
