* In Webcomic/DraconiaChronicles, we have ''My Little Dracony: Togetherness is Magical'', which is immensely popular despite being intended for dragonlings; so much so that it's implied that even P.O.W.'s are allowed to watch it (although it's stated to be [[PropagandaMachine anti-tiger propaganda]] rather than [[MerchandiseDriven a 30-minute toy commercial]])-[[UpToEleven and they like it too(!).]]

* The ShowWithinAShow "Lunacorns" in ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' is Private's favourite tv programme.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', Raven and Robin have been shown to enjoy "Pretty Pretty Pegasus". These are {{Actor Allusion}}s; The former is voiced by Creator/TaraStrong, who also voices [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle,]] while the latter is voiced by Creator/ScottMenville, who voiced [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie Danny.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse'' does this too:

From the height of TheEighties fad days to recent years, ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' has been etched in popular culture as a [[TastesLikeDiabetes saccharine]] toy line for young girls who [[AllGirlsLikePonies love horses]].

Parodies and homages typically are [[ShowWithinAShow shows within a show]] featuring AlwaysFemale pastel ponies who can talk. [[ChestInsignia Flank Insignia]] are common but not a requirement. With the recent popularity of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' with older audiences, parodies have begun taking after it and are often more positive than previous depictions.

* Maria collects "My Precious Pony" dolls in the ''BackyardSports'' games.

Since the height of TheEighties fad days to recent years, ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' has been etched in popular culture as a [[TastesLikeDiabetes saccharine]] toy line for young girls who [[AllGirlsLikePonies love horses]].

Parodies and homages typically are ShowWithinAShow's featuring AlwaysFemale pastel ponies who can talk. [[ChestInsignia Flank Insignia's]] are common but not a requirement. With the recent popularity of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' with older audiences parodies have begun taking after it and are often more positive than previous depictions.

* Susan, Death's granddaughter in the Literature/{{Discworld}} book ''Discworld/SoulMusic'', gets a "My Little Binky" toy for her third birthday from her grandfather, modeled after his pale horse, Binky. His parents return it, fearing that it will make her a less "normal" child.

* One of the OnceAnEpisode {{Parody Commercial}} on ''Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow'' featured a toy like this called the Scruffy Scruff, except the toy was ''exceptionally ugly''. The kids in the commercial played with and adored it as if it were just as pretty as its real-world counterpart.
* One sketch in a fifth season ''Series/HorribleHistories'' episode included the Victorian My Little Pit Pony. This doll described what life was like for horses that worked in coal mines, including breathing coal dust and getting stuck in tunnels. They only came in one color: black.

* In ''Webcomic/HeavenlyNostrils'', Phoebe is a fan of the cartoon ''Pastel Unicorns'' and has a bunch of the toys. In a few strips (like on [[http://www.gocomics.com/heavenly-nostrils/2013/03/17#.Up1Co2RDuhQ March 17, 2013]] and on [[http://www.gocomics.com/heavenly-nostrils/2013/08/11#.Up1CpWRDuhQ August 11, 2013]]) she discusses recent plot developments from the show, and they're barely-veiled references to actual episodes of ''Friendship Is Magic''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' Raven and Robin has been shown to enjoy "Pretty Pretty Pegasus". These are {{Actor Allusion}}s; The former is voiced by Tara Strong, who also voices Twilight Sparkle, while the latter is voiced by Scott Menville who voiced Danny.
* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' has a "My Small Squirrel" reference in episode 25. Like the Teen Titans Go example above this one is also an ActorAllusion; Blythe Baxter's VA is Ashleigh Ball who voices both Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
* DW from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' has been shown to enjoy "My Fluffy Unicorn". She owns a doll she calls Uni. Despite the name the only characters shown are {{winged unicorn}}s, not standard ones.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' has a cute looking pony with hearts for a Cutie Mark attacking Buck.
* Pony Puff Princess is a reoccurring thing in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''. It also appears in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'' has several:

** Thunder-LOL-Cats: [[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats2011}} Lion-O]] verses memes, Ponies included.
** Cowboys and Alien Force: an Applejack ersatz in a {{Mind Screw}}y crossover that also involves ''WesternAniamtion/Ben10AlienForce'', Stretchy bands and multiple title cards.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had a sketch advertising My Little Pony: Apocalypse Ponies, a toyline modeled after the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' has "My Troubled Pony", combining colorful ponies with an over-the-top SoapOpera. It is [[DontFearTheReaper Grim]]'s favorite show (second to DoraTheExplorer) but unfortunately for him, it was CutShort.

* ''WesternAniamtion/{{MAD}}'' has several:

* Nella's Epic Poney Soap Opera from ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick''. It contains a BastardBoyfriend AntiVillain DomesticAbuser, an inevitable saintly wife who is TheHighQueen and a LoveMartyr to boot, a naive innocent [[TheWoobie woobish]] son with a few schoolfriends with disabilities and a schoolteacher who is also "sometimes a whore, but one with a heart of gold".
