* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': Much to Milo's dismay, has promised Lizbeth to go see a movie called "Return to Unicorn Island" in "Alley Oops!".

* This [[http://www.wackypackages.org/stickers/2004/scans/42_front_my_little_phony_small.html 2004]] ''Toys/WackyPackages'' sticker, which is actually named "My Little Phony".

* ''Webcomic/GastroPhobia'' has a kingdom of civilized ponies who are clearly a parody of My Little Pony.

[[caption-width-right:350:At least [[Creator/TaraStrong Raven]] ''[[ActorAllusion sounds]]'' [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic like a magical pony...]] ]]

* In ''Film/LoganLucky'', mobile clinic doctor Sylvia Harrison puts a ''My Little Pony'' band aid on the arm of Jimmy Logan after giving him a free tetanus vaccine shot. Following the heist, there's a BrickJoke with Jimmy anonymously offering Sylvia an envelope of money that he closed with another ''My little Pony'' band aid.

* One episode of ''WebComic/TheBedfellows'' has Fatigue watching a cartoon called "My Little Donkey," and even playing with donkey figures as they do so.

* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' called "The Quiet Game," Bluey, Bingo, and their dad Bandit have to get a Moonlight Unicorn toy for their cousin's birthday. In two other episodes, "Duck Cake" and "Mr. Monkeyjocks," they mention the Star Pony and the Starlight Unicorse respectively.

* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' has a CutawayGag involving a show called "My Small Squirrel" in "Blythe's Pet Project". Like the ''Teen Titans Go!'' example above, this one is also an Actor Allusion; Blythe Baxter's voice actress is Ashleigh Ball, who voices both Applejack and Rainbow Dash. One of the squirrels with rainbow hair and tail is named Multicolor Stripe, likely alluding to Rainbow Dash. This joke is also a bigger reference to the fact that a large amount of the show's cast (and some of its crew) also worked on WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic, the show that preceded LPS during its entire run.

* ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'' has an ImagineSpot called "My Fluffy Puppy". It's used to give an aesop against MerchandiseDriven products. It's also another ActorAllusion, this time for Creator/TabithaStGermain, who voices the titular Martha (Tabitha voices Rarity, Princess Luna, and many others in WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic. She has also voiced other pony characters in past incarnations of ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'').

** Thunder-LOL-Cats: [[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats2011}} Lion-O]] vs. memes, Ponies included.
** Cowboys and Alien Force: An Applejack ersatz in a {{Mind Screw}}y crossover that also involves ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', stretchy bands and multiple title cards.
** Rainbow Dash and Bernstein: Rainbow Dash replaces the titular puppet of ''Series/CrashAndBernstein''.
** My Little Pwny: The most direct parody. A ParodyCommercial of ponies causing nothing but trouble (especially of the "painful to humans" variety).
** The Adjustment Burro: Twilight Sparkle starts dating Eeyore, in a mashup of ''WesternAnimation/{{Winnie the Pooh|2011}}'' and ''Film/TheAdjustmentBureau''.
** [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] online, where someone made a fan episode called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg_mJmg-3s8 MAD Ponies]], which consisted of every single pony and horse-related skit or joke that was in the show at the time.

* A gag in the beginning of an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had a video camera with the words "My Little Sony" on it, complete with the rainbow that forms the G1 My Little Pony logo.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' has Briar and Bramble, a pair of talking pink and purple ponies who are clearly meant to reference ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4'' ([[ParodyAssistance they're even voiced by]] Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/AndreaLibman), but they actually turn out to be Kelpies, Scottish water spirits who resemble horses and try to drown whoever they convince to ride on their backs.

* This [[http://www.wackypackages.org/stickers/2004/scans/42_front_my_little_phony_small.html 2004 Wacky Packages sticker]] which is actually named "My Little Phony".

* ''Pony Puff Princess'' is a recurring gag in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', and the ponies were actually ''{{Anti Villain}}s'' in one of the sillier episodes. They despise boy stuff like Action Hank, an {{expy}} of Creator/MrT, Film/{{Shaft}}, and Franchise/GIJoe (also another Hasbro franchise). The titular Princess was voiced by Creator/KathSoucie, who voiced Princess Tiffany in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends''. The franchise also appears in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.
* Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', in the Christmas Special "The Fight Before Christmas", the Mayor asks Santa for a "My Little Horsie" doll, the joke being that [[HilariousInHindsight he's a grown man]]. What makes this even funnier is that ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'' creator Creator/LaurenFaust worked on this episode.

* ''Roland Rat: Superstar'' had a ParodyCommercial spot for "My Little Warthog", with the tagline: "To have, to hold, and to smell"

* In ''Webcomic/DraconiaChronicles'', we have ''My Little Dracony: Togetherness is Magical'', which is immensely popular despite being intended for dragonlings; so much so that [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-258/ it's implied that even prisoners of war 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(!).]]

* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/Bluey'' called "The Quiet Game," Bluey, Bingo, and their dad Bandit have to get a Moonlight Unicorn toy for their cousin's birthday. In two other episodes, "Duck Cake" and "Mr. Monkeyjocks," they mention the Star Pony and the Starlight Unicorse respectively.

Parodies and homages typically are [[ShowWithinAShow shows within a show]] featuring AlwaysFemale pastel ponies (or other pastel animals) who can talk and have cutesy names. [[ChestInsignia Flank/Rear Insignias]] are common but not a requirement. Occasionally, elements from other cutesy franchises like ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'', ''WesternAnimation/CareBears'', or ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' will get mixed in.

* Nella's Epic Poney Soap Opera from ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick''. It contains a BastardBoyfriend AntiVillain {{Domestic Abuse}}r, 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, [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold one with a heart of gold]]".

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

[[ChestInsignia Flank/Rear Insignias]] are common but not a requirement. Occasionally, elements from ''other'' TastesLikeDiabetes franchises like ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' or ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' will get mixed in.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': The Rainbow Monkeys fit the general spirit of the trope, though they're more directly a parody of the Franchise/CareBears. Apart from the general TastesLikeDiabetes motif (a constant annoyance of team tough-guy Numbuh 4), the show mines a lot of humor from how many [[EnvironmentSpecificActionFigure bizarrely specific variants]] there are.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had a sketch advertising My Little Pony: Apocalypse Ponies, a toy line modeled after the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse.

* ''WEBCOMIC/{{Pupster}}: Kevin watches "Pretty Pretty Horsey" on the laptop in the twentyfourth page of ''Egg Over Easy''.

With the popularity of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' with older audiences -- partly because the series appeals to both children and adults -- parodies have begun taking after it and are often more positive than previous depictions (or just poking fun at the fact that there even is an older audience in the first place).

* One of the "Mabel's Scrapbook" shorts for ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' features the gang from the Mystery Shack sneaking into a theater showing the movie "Pony Heist".
** Also Celestebellabethabelle the unicorn, who lives in a glade of eye-blindingly bright colors and can see into a person's heart using her magical horn.
