* The Bird's odd speech patterns (talking too slowly, saying "Hello" too often) are modeled after early episodes of ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies''.
* Princess Celestia's voice is based on [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros the Monarch]].
* Rarity is indirectly based on Korra's mom. Getschman originally wanted to make a ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' abridged series, but that fell through. So he took the jokes he already had planned for Korra's mom (the voice and the obsession with spaghetti noodles) and applied them to Rarity.

* Fluttershy appears to be singing (badly) the ''Series/DoctorWho'' theme music.
* The Bird makes a joking reference to ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''.

* During the bunny stampede, a background pony can be heard frantically calling for a Holy Hand Grenade, another ''Holy Grail'' reference.
* Fluttershy believes one of the stampeding bunnies might be [[Literature/WatershipDown General Woundwort]].
* The cows hail from a mystical land known as "ComicStrip/TheFarSide".
Episode 5:

Episode 6:
* Celestia responds to her tidal wave of abusive mail with, [[Film/{{Taken}} "I will look for you. I will find you. And I will kill you."]]
* After an exasperating argument with Trixie, Twilight sarcastically asks her "[[Film/ThePrincessBride Are you not left-hooved?]]".
* Trixie refers to the Fourth Wall as "[[Franchise/StarWars The Fourth]]". And quotes [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Yoda]].

* The foreshadowing of a dark threat building in the south may be an allusion to Mordor and the War of the Ring in ''Literature/LordOfTheRings''.
Episode 9:
* In episode 9, Pinkie accidentally says a line from the ''My Little Pony'' fan animation ''WebAnimation/DusksDawn''.
* During a conversation about who the worst Abridged Series director is, Celestia, Luna and a royal guard mention [[WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft Sherclop Pones]], [[WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries Greg Hoffman]] and [[WebVideo/UltraFastPony Wacarb]].
Episode 10:

* Applejack refers to the parasprites as "darn tribblets!"--a portmanteau of [[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles Tribbles]] (from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'') and AJ's trademark insult "niblet".
* Pinkie makes several direct references to other MLP abridged series in her song, including ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' and ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries''.
* The palace guards' reactions are audio samples from [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wombo-combo "Wombo Combo"]], a particularly memetic ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'' video. (Jack Getschman also made several "Ponified Wombo Combo" videos prior to starting ''Scootertrix''.)
Episode 11:
* The "Wombo Combo" audio samples from the last episode continue to haunt Twilight.
Episode 12:
* Apple Bloom quotes from Sun Tzu's ''Literature/TheArtOfWar'', which is apparently part of the curriculum at the military academy.
* Apple Bloom's "Schlieffenpony Plan" for dealing with the Changeling and Crystal Empires is based on and named after Germany's Schlieffen Plan, their strategy for dealing with enemies on two sides in World War I. [[spoiler:Both plans are unsuccessful, too.]]
Episode 13:
* There's one last "Wombo Combo" sample, when Rainbow Dash overtakes Applejack.
Episode 15:
* Pinkie quotes Yoda again, once more using the Force/Fourth analogy:
--> '''Pinkie Pie:''' Life breathes it. Makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us.
* Pinkie tells Twilight "You can't handle the truth", presumably making the reference to [[YouCantHandleTheParody the famous courtroom scene]] in ''Film/AFewGoodMen''.
Episode 16:
* In episode 16, the airship is named ''Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}''.
Episode 17:
* In episode 17, Scootaloo paraphrases one of [[Film/TheDarkKnight the Joker's speeches]]:
-->'''Scootaloo:''' But turning them into stone is too... quick. You can't ''savor'' all those little... emotions.
* Apple Bloom calls Scootaloo "Miss Blood and Guts", which may be a reference to [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton General Patton]]'s famous nickname.
Episode 18:
* The tune that Sweetie Belle is randomly humming is the theme from ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire''.
* Apple Bloom quips, "No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy." This is one of many variations on Helmuth von Moltke's far-less-pithy original: "No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force."
** Apple Bloom's raucous "get noscoped!" exclamation is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ij7l8vOaS8 this]] ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' internet meme.
** The airship ''Black Häxan'' is named after the 1922 movie ''Film/{{Haxan}}''.
Episode 19:
* The Jessicas are all terrified of The Candymare, villain of the horror fanfic ''Something Sweet to Bite''.
Episode 20:
* In episode 20, the changeling pony who mistakenly walks on two legs is Frostbright, the OC of animator [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MrKuloKake/videos Mr KupKake]]. (According to Getschman and Zimbauer, this wasn't an intentional shout out, but rather a convenient resource that they found online).
Episode 22:
* In episode 22, Celestia's line, "You've all done very well!" is a reference to ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''.
* Fluttershy has a tube of [[Creator/DavidCronenberg Cronenberg]] Lotion. Naturally, it causes [[BodyHorror gross lumps to break out]] where it's applies.

* Once again, Pinkie refrences ''Star Wars'': "I felt a great disturbance, a tremor in the Fourth."
''Royal Correspondence:''
* The Scootertrix and Kanterlot universes are designated "Universe A" and "Universe 1", respectively--the same universe-naming convention used in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Farnsworth Parabox". [[note]]Apparently, this was an unintentional reference. [=EyesofEstranged=], one of the members of [=TheKanterlot=] explained on Youtube: "Oh yeah! Forgot about that episode.

* The foreshadowing of a dark threat building in the south may be an allusion to Mordor and the War of the Ring in ''Literature/LordOfTheRings''.
Episode 9:
* In episode 9, Pinkie accidentally says a line from the ''My Little Pony'' fan animation ''WebAnimation/DusksDawn''.
* During a conversation about who the worst Abridged Series director is, Celestia, Luna and a royal guard mention [[WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft Sherclop Pones]], [[WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries Greg Hoffman]] and [[WebVideo/UltraFastPony Wacarb]].
Episode 10:
* In episode 10, Fluttershy warns Twilight not to feed the bugs (parasprites) after midnight, a reference to ''{{Film/Gremlins}}''. (What makes it even funnier is that Fluttershy is giving the wrong piece of advice; the one thing parasprites and gremlins have in common is their capacity for self-replication, but Fluttershy only gives the instruction that prevents gremlins from becoming evil. The correct advice is "don't let them near water").
* Applejack refers to the parasprites as "darn tribblets!"--a portmanteau of [[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles Tribbles]] (from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'') and AJ's trademark insult "niblet".
* Pinkie makes several direct references to other MLP abridged series in her song, including ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' and ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries''.
* The palace guards' reactions are audio samples from [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wombo-combo "Wombo Combo"]], a particularly memetic ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'' video. (Jack Getschman also made several "Ponified Wombo Combo" videos prior to starting ''Scootertrix''.)
Episode 11:
* The "Wombo Combo" audio samples from the last episode continue to haunt Twilight.
Episode 12:
* Apple Bloom quotes from Sun Tzu's ''Literature/TheArtOfWar'', which is apparently part of the curriculum at the military academy.
* Apple Bloom's "Schlieffenpony Plan" for dealing with the Changeling and Crystal Empires is based on and named after Germany's Schlieffen Plan, their strategy for dealing with enemies on two sides in World War I. [[spoiler:Both plans are unsuccessful, too.]]
Episode 13:
* There's one last "Wombo Combo" sample, when Rainbow Dash overtakes Applejack.
Episode 15:
* Pinkie quotes Yoda again, once more using the Force/Fourth analogy:
--> '''Pinkie Pie:''' Life breathes it. Makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us.
* Pinkie tells Twilight "You can't handle the truth", presumably making the reference to [[YouCantHandleTheParody the famous courtroom scene]] in ''Film/AFewGoodMen''.
Episode 16:
* In episode 16, the airship is named ''Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}''.
Episode 17:
* In episode 17, Scootaloo paraphrases one of [[Film/TheDarkKnight the Joker's speeches]]:
-->'''Scootaloo:''' But turning them into stone is too... quick. You can't ''savor'' all those little... emotions.
* Apple Bloom calls Scootaloo "Miss Blood and Guts", which may be a reference to [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton General Patton]]'s famous nickname.
Episode 18:
* The tune that Sweetie Belle is randomly humming is the theme from ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire''.
* Apple Bloom quips, "No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy." This is one of many variations on Helmuth von Moltke's far-less-pithy original: "No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force."
** Apple Bloom's raucous "get noscoped!" exclamation is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ij7l8vOaS8 this]] ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' internet meme.
** The airship ''Black Häxan'' is named after the 1922 movie ''Film/{{Haxan}}''.
Episode 19:
* The Jessicas are all terrified of The Candymare, villain of the horror fanfic ''Something Sweet to Bite''.
Episode 20:
* In episode 20, the changeling pony who mistakenly walks on two legs is Frostbright, the OC of animator [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MrKuloKake/videos Mr KupKake]]. (According to Getschman and Zimbauer, this wasn't an intentional shout out, but rather a convenient resource that they found online).
Episode 22:
* In episode 22, Celestia's line, "You've all done very well!" is a reference to ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''.
* Fluttershy has a tube of [[Creator/DavidCronenberg Cronenberg]] Lotion. Naturally, it causes [[BodyHorror gross lumps to break out]] where it's applies.
"Trixie the Abridged":
* The [[PaintingTheMedium fake Related Videos screen]] includes a thumbnail for a blind commentary video by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIR4L71pMu0fqO1YhnjgTDg RarityDash]]--the first Youtube reactor to feature ''Scootertrix''.
* Once again, Pinkie refrences ''Star Wars'': "I felt a great disturbance, a tremor in the Fourth."
''Royal Correspondence:''
* The Scootertrix and Kanterlot universes are designated "Universe A" and "Universe 1", respectively--the same universe-naming convention used in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Farnsworth Parabox". [[note]]Apparently, this was an unintentional reference. [=EyesofEstranged=], one of the members of [=TheKanterlot=] explained on Youtube: "Oh yeah! Forgot about that episode. We just gave ours '1' since our series came out first, and Scootertrix's 'A' since it's the better show."[[/note]]
* Celestia's plan for trolling Lyra in episode 5 of ''Royal Correspondence'' is a reference to the plot of the classic MLP fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Anthropology}}''.
