* The scene in "Luna vs. Baseball" where Grey Marex steps up to bat features a subtle reference to "Casey at the Bat"
* Also in that chapter, when Applejack doesn't recognize her until after her glasses are broken, she asks, "[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} How could you be fooled by a pair of glasses?"]]
* Also in that chapter, Luna's "TO THE MOON" imagine spot is likely one to [[WebAnimation/FriendshipIsMagicBitch a certain fan video]].

Added DiffLines:

* The scene in "Luna vs. Baseball" where Grey Marex steps up to bat features a subtle reference to "Casey at the Bat"
* Also in that chapter, when Applejack doesn't recognize her until after her glasses are broken, she asks, "[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} How could you be fooled by a pair of glasses?"]]
* Also in that chapter, Luna's "TO THE MOON" imagine spot is likely one to [[WebAnimation/FriendshipIsMagicBitch a certain fan video]].
* Luna's speech when getting a room with Sundance in "Luna vs. Lodging 1" is extremely reminiscent of when [[Series/DoctorWho The]] [[TheNthDoctor 11th]] Series/{{Doctor|Who}} was getting a flat in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E11TheLodger "The Lodger."]]
** The scene at the Baseball game where she attempts to give a badass boast in response to a simple statement of team pride is also based on that same episode.
* One of the stallions Hoyden suggests as a possible boyfriend for Luna is named Thistle, [[TheEeyore is rather depressed]], [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh and lives in a tent made of sticks]].
* In "Luna vs Ponyville, Part 1: Television", where the first show that Luna watches on Pinkie's television is a pony version of Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood, and after changing the channel and trying to find it, she apparently stumbles across a horror movie known as ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''.
* In "Luna vs Ponyville, Part 2", Luna finds a copy of the pony equivalent of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', which is apparently a good deal... racier.
* Also, "[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl AHA! Gentlecolts! You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain]] [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/ Sethisto-!]]"
* Also Hoyden's cutie mark, which is [[Series/{{Jackass}} a skull with a pair of crutches]]. His job is testing very dangerous safety equipment.
* [[Film/{{Patton}} Angel has read Luna's book.]]
* "Luna vs. Ponyville, Part 7" features Luna breaking up a fight between [[Film/KingKong a giant ape and a T. Rex]].
* In the same chapter, Luna's BadassBoast to said giant ape and T. Rex is similar to one done by the [[Series/DoctorWho Eleventh Doctor]] in his first episode.
* The Rex monster is a nod to Rex from the original ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' cartoon's second TV special.
* Also in the same chapter, the Cutie Mark Crusaders crash to the rescue in a [[AngelsPose familiar pose.]]
* At the end of "Luna versus The Heat", Celestia does the infamous [[Series/CSIMiami Horatio Caine]] GlassesPull.
* 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]], [[Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus Arion]], [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Hengroen]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Epona]], [[Myth/PecosBill Widow Maker]]...
* In "Luna vs. Storytelling", the old movie Sundance is watching is a pony version of ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight''. There are also references made to ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'', [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamarena]], and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986 the Smooze]].
* "Luna vs Ponyville 9" gets a massive one for ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''... 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 "Ponies in Space 2", we meet pony versions of [[Series/MythBusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman]]. Also, Luna's description of the God-Alpha of the Diamond Dogs sounds a lot like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyNFriends Crunch the Rock Dog]], and after Blueblood gets scared out of joining the program, Luna quotes [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Still Alive]].
* In "Ponies in Space 3", Cherilee's tour group gets caught in "Situation 18", a training scenario that involves the possibility of [[Film/Apollo18 hostile, crab-like aliens on the moon.]]
** In addition, Luna mentions her plan for a fusion-driven starship to deal with [[VideoGame/StarFox killer space monkeys]] and [[Literature/KnownSpace killer space tigers]], the latter of which they'd teach a [[WeaponizedExhaust lesson with their fusion drives...]]
* "Luna vs. The Dreamlands 2" has a lot of shoutouts to ''Film/{{Inception}}'', primarily in the accelerated time the deeper you go into the Dreamlands and the abrupt transitions between dreams.
* In "Ponies in Space 4", Sundance brings up the possibility of teleporting rockets around the launch pad, and Luna replies that they're not going to try that [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 "after what happened with the cat."]] Also, Rarity thinks painting Luna's design for a giant robot red will [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 make it go]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam three times faster]].
* "Luna vs. Vigilantism" opens with Luna reading a [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batpony]] comic (which appears to be inspired by ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke''). Later Luna (as Mare-Do-Well) performs a dead ringer for the entrance of WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck.
** Her checklist also contains elements from other famous superheroes. Let's see, [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Love Interest as a reporter, with a bald archenemy]], an origin story that is either vague or [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke multiple choice]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} cool car and toys]]...
* [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Well then! Someday, the citizens of this city will not have their toys delivered with their meals]], [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} and will instead look up to me with a cry of 'Help us!' and I shall reply, 'No! Petition the manager instead!']]"
* And prior to that, when pondering things for Luna to do? Sundance suggests charity boxing. Maybe she's read (or, likely, hadn't read) '[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7301428/1/Of_bPackages_b_and_Punches Of Packages and Punches]]''.
* Even the RecursiveFanfiction does this!
** All of the guards Celestia tries to hook up with Luna in "Luna vs. Threesomes" are named after male porn stars.
** In the side story ''Celestia vs. Time'', reference is made to ''[[HomePage Trope's Library of Literary Tools]]'', and two guards discuss the likelihood of [[Fanfic/OnACrossAndArrow an alternate universe where everypony has their gender swapped male for female and visa-versa.]]
