* ''[[Fanfic/TheWritingOnTheWall The Writing On The Wall]] contains a shoutout to the curse of King Tutankhamen's tomb and to the poem Ozymandias in Daring Do's speculation about what the eponymous, then untranslated writing on the wall of the AncientTomb meant:

* ''FanFic/ItsADangerousBusinessGoingOutYourDoor'': The title is one (of ''many'') to ''''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
** When Rainbow Dash [[spoiler:first uses the lightning powers she learns from the pronghorns]], she says [[Film/{{Serenity}} "I am a leaf on the wind."]]
*** Even better, her mentor [[spoiler:who had also been taught by the pronghorns]] was called ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. Though this may just be a coincidence, given that her mentor is an {{expy}} of a past-gen pony by that name.
** Dragons are apparently from [[Literature/TheKingInYellow Carcosa.]]

* ''FanFic/TiberiumWars'' has more shout-outs than you can shake a stick at. Shout-outs range from ''Literature/SnowCrash'' to ''Franchise/MassEffect'' to ''Franchise/MetalGear'' to ''GenerationKill'', with a hefty frequency of references to ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''.

** The Nephilim can [[TheExorcist turn their heads 360 degrees]] to look around them.

* Lord of the Land of Fire is prone to lacing the plots of his stories with references to things like WorldWarTwo or [[Literature/TheBible The Book of Revelation]], among other things.

* Shoutout/GemsAreUnbreakable

** The Rex monster is a nod to Rex from the original ''MyLittlePony'' cartoon's second TV special.

** Apparently, Priness Celestia mothered a whole group of famous horses, as she explains to Luna in "Luna Versus the Facts of Life." Where to begin? Let's see, Starchild, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Shadowfax]], [[SonOfNeptune Arion]], [[KingArthur Hengroen]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Epona]], [[PecosBill Widow Maker]]...

** "Luna vs Ponyville 9" gets a massive one for TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}... by Pinkie Pie's parents, who bust out heavy weapons and shout about exterminating "xenos" in the name of God-Queen Celestia when they think their farm house is under attack by dragons. [[ItRunsInTheFamily Apparently]], [[FascinatingEyebrow it runs in the family.]]

* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6152050/1/Whose_Gay_Line_Is_It_Anyways Whose Gay Line Is It Anyway]], the Series/{{Glee}} club plays a game of [[WhoseLineIsItAnyway Questions Only.]] Slash (and [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]]) ensues.

** Rarity and Esteem have a conversation taken almost word for word from TheEmpireStrikesBack:

* ''Fanfic/PinkPersonalHellAndAlteringFate'': The style of narrative is a ShoutOut to ''HardBoiledWonderlandAndTheEndOfTheWorld'' by Creator/HarukiMurakami. The term "Altering Fate" is a shout-out to VisionOfEscaflowne.

** [[MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries "I encouraged her to get professional help for her addiction, but she just left all huffy, claiming she could quit anytime she wanted."]]
