-->'''Harley''': Can you make me a pony?

* In ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'', Princesses Celestia and Luna can be seen as guests at the Great Summit, and Pinkie Pie later has a cameo during the party sidequest. As an EasterEgg, Pinkie can even be swayed to [[GuestStarPartyMember temporarily join the team]], as a nod to Catie’s well-known love of the character.
* [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' will sometimes say " "Someone once told me friendship is magic. That's ridiculous, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint you can't turn people into frogs with friendship]]." Furthermore, the NPC, "Party Girl", somewhat resembles Pinkie Pie. She even sells her own version of the Party Cannon called the "Confetti Gun".

* ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'':

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had a sketch that showed a teenage pony (voiced by Creator/TaraStrong no less) showing her father that she got a butt tattoo that is suppose to parody cutie marks. The father then complains that his daughter won't get a decent job because of the tattoo, but the daughter doesn't believe that and thinks she'll become famous making [=YouTube=] videos. Cut to years later where the daughter now has a miserable job at a bank and has a boss who keeps telling her to "cover her ass."

* In the opening of WebVideo/RedLetterMedia's WebVideo/HalfInTheBag episode on ''Film/BladeRunner2049'', they describe the movie using the synopsis of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' as a gag since both movies were released on the same weekend.

* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic has taken many jabs toward the show and its fanbase. His philosophy being every single time someone says the word "pony" on the internet, the views go through the roof. Creator/DougWalker himself is just indifferent towards the show in general and doesn't mind either the fans or haters. He's just making fun of the overabundance of the show online.
* In the ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'' comic "Mouse Plays Mole", a Rarity doll can be seen in Sock's toolbox.

* One episode of ''WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' has a question that asks if either Rainbow Dash or Twilight Sparkle is the better pony. Ask That Guy says that it's a matter of opinion, followed by him begging to just letting him like ponies.

** In "You are Two", when explaining the concept of left- and right-brain separation, left-brain holds up an Applejack toy that right-brain now has to justify holding, with the answer "Because it's the best pony."

** There's another episode in the same show that's titled "Friendship Hates Magic!", after ''Friendship is Magic''.

Given the show's immense popularity, it's no surprise that other works would make reference to it and it's fanbase.

** During the treasure hunt on the room full of trash, Sucy pulls out a Twlilight Sparkle doll that almost instantly lose its head. In fact, the color and style of Sucy hair have some similarities to Fluttershy's mane.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' has a pair of kelpies, a.k.a. "Murder Ponies", named Briar and Bramble, who were voiced by none other than Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/AndreaLibman[[note]]which is unusual, because Libman usually only voice acts in Canadian shows, and the rest of the ''[=DuckTales=]'' voice cast is based in Los Angeles[[/note]] respectively.

* The ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' episode, "The Equestranauts", directly parodies the brony fanbase. Even going do far has to having it's own version of [=BronyCon=].

* In the season 4 premiere of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', [[ComicBook/TheAtom Ray Palmer]] and [[ComicBook/{{Steel}} Nate Heywood]] are revealed to be bronies and the latter calls an unicorn "Twilight Sparkle".

'''NOTE:''' A lot of these examples fall under the trope, MyLittlePhony. However, they are references nonetheless. If you find or know of a work that references the ''MLP'' franchise as a whole, list it there or [[ReferencedBy/MyLittlePony here]], not here. Just keep in mind that the example has to be dated after 2010 for it to be at least most likely a reference

* ''VideoGame/{{Mari0}}'' has the Sonic Rainboom as a cheat, which is performed by reaching a enough speed through portals. Mario gains Rainbow Dash's mane afterwards. Said mane is also available as one of the in-game hats.

* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', The Heavy will sometimes say "Everyone! Friendship is stupid magic!" Furthermore, an item called "Magical Mercenary" somewhat remembles Fluttershy. Wearing it gives an extra voice line that's a play on the phrase "Friendship is Magic" (sans the Medic and Pyro)

* One of the crash messages for ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' is "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E14TheLastRoundup I just don't know what went wrong!]]".

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' had a pair of Kelpies, a.k.a. "Murder Ponies", named Briar and Bramble, who were voiced by none other than Tara Strong and Andrea Libman[[note]]which is unusual, because Libman usually only voice acts in Canadian shows, and the rest of the ''[=DuckTales=]'' voice cast is based in Los Angeles[[/note]] respectively.
