* "[[SincerityMode I believe in M.A. Larson]]."/ "[[SarcasmMode Thanks, M.A. Larson]]!"[[labelnote:explanation]]Slogans of the BrokenBase that emerged upon the reveal that [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle would become an alicorn]] in the season 3 finale episode. The former group believes the change can work and showed their support for Larson (the episode's writer) in ways like changing their Twitter icons to show a [[http://derpiboo.ru/222510 badge]] of support. The latter group showed their dissent by attaching their slogan to images of famous disasters, sarcastically linking Larson as the cause. The former comes from the viral marketing for [[The Dark Knight]] while the latter is based on the "Thanks Obama" meme.[[/labelnote]]

* Rainbow Dash is Iceman. [[labelnote:explanation]] From [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E7WonderboltAcademy Wonderbolts Academy]], where Dash finds herself in the unusual role of being the voice of reason to a hot-headed showoff pony who keeps breaking flight safety regulations to make herself look more awesome. Which, since the entire episode is a huge homage to TopGun, means that she's the Iceman to Lightning Dust's Maverick.[[/labelnote]]

*** Take ''that'', Elena Barabrich![[labelnote:explanation]] Webcomic artist Elena "Yamino" Barabrich is a common scapegoat for "Derpygate", as she expressed personal distaste at the episode in question a few short days before the censorship occurred. The show staff have actually tried to absolve her of all blame, with varying success.[[/labelnote]]

** Princess Momlestia [[labelnote:explanation]]Recent trend on derpibooru, depicting Celestia hugging other ponies and acting toward them like a mother, usually with Twilight.

* Twilight [[{{Seinfeld}} Benes]]. [[labelnote:explanation]]Twilight's bizarre dancing in "Sweet and Elite" has prompted ''many'' references to Elaine's similar lack of anything resembling rhythm.[[/labelnote]]

* "Everything is going to be ok." [[labelnote:explanation]]Following her change into an alicorn and subsequent coronation in "Magical Mystery Cure", Twilight says that "Everything is going to be ok". Given the BrokenBase reaction to Alicorn Twilight, several have taken this phrase, typically with the image of Alicorn Twilight, onto photos of great diasters, like the Hindenberg, noting how (to them) the show is TemptingFate.[[/labelnote]]
* Twilight cat/twicat [[labelnote:explanation]] One user pointed out a scene in Spike at your service where twilight seems to act like a cat thus leading to pictures of twilight acting like a cat and/or saying nya/meow [[/labelnote]]

* {{Spider-Man}}'s a brony [[labelnote:explanation]]The Spider-Man cartoon from the 60's has already undergone its own MemeticMutation and a crossing of the memes was inevitable. Fans like to Photoshop Spidey into the show, causing almost as much chaos as Pinkie Pie.[[/labelnote]]

* [[DeadPool Pinkie Pool.]] [[labelnote:explanation]]There are many parallels between the characters of Deadpool and Pinkie Pie - they're fourth wall breakers, id personified, wild cards, and {{Motor Mouth}}s.[[/labelnote]]

* The buck's a hand?! [[labelnote:explanation]] During the song "What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me" in the season 3 finale, Applejack says the line, "Could y'all give me a ''hand'' here and help me fix this mess?" Fan caught on to the error and reacted
expectedly.

* Not so much a meme about the show as about the fandom: It's become something of a tradition among [[PeripheryDemographic male fans]] to advertise their gender, age, and (sometimes) occupation in the comments section of the episodes posted on Youtube, often immediately followed by stating the name of a favorite pony or a general, "... and I love this show!"

* Twilight's new form. [[labelnote:explanation]]A two-panel exploitable taken from "Magical Mystery Cure" as the Mane Five react in shock for the first time to Twilight's new form. The second panel, in-show showing Twilight with her new wings, is altered to be everything from Rule 63 Twilight, Princess Big Macintosh, God from MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail, GabeNewell, and so on.[[/labelnote]]

*** Naturally, with the release of Source Film Maker, several scenes from the show have been [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkGwqsrfEeI reenacted]] by VideoGame/TeamFortress2 characters.

** '''WARNING:''' ''Season 3 Spoilers ahead!'' [[http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2012/286/8/b/pinkie_pie_spy_by_mrcbleck-d5hqft3.png And then this came along...]]

** Derpy's BackForTheFinale! [[labelnote:explanation]] After being completely absent for 12 straight episodes, Derpy had no fewer than ''five'' appearances in the season three finale, AndTheFandomRejoiced![[/labelnote]]

** Derpy's BackForTheFinale, take ''that'', Elena Barabrich.

* Queen Swissalis [[labelnote:explanation]]Ditto.[[/labelnote]]
** "X is a Changeling!" [[labelnote:explanation]] A RunningGag among the fandom for when more than one of the same background pony appeared at the same time. [[/labelnote]]

** Run! It's Spikezilla! [[labelnote:explanation]]Also from "Secret of My Excess", Spike's form at his peak size drew a lot of comparisons to the American version of ''{{Godzilla}}''.[[/labelnote]]
