55	* This show brought ''My Little Pony'' (and girl-oriented shows in general) out of the AnimationAgeGhetto for a lot of people. That, by itself, is an accomplishment.
56	* In January 2014, an 11 year-old boy [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/05/my-little-pony-suicide_n_4731327.html attempted suicide]] after being mercilessly bullied for loving ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic''. The [[http://youwillriseproject.blogspot.com/p/artformichael.html You Will Rise Project]] responded with Art For Michael, which posted My Little Pony-themed fan art supporting the boy.
57	** The tragedy also motivated Imperial Tattoo in Sugar Land, TX to [[http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/24676341/tattoo-shop-owner-offers-discounted-my-little-pony-tattoos-for-a-good-cause donate the proceeds from its My Little Pony tattoos]] to [[http://www.stompoutbullying.org Stomp Out Bullying]].
58	* Lauren auctioned off a series of sketches for charity. The sketches were of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Derpy]], [[WhatCouldHaveBeen pegasus Pinkie Pie]], Applejack, and Twilight. All together, the sketches raised '''$15,451'''.
59	* In an out-of-show example, show creator [[WordOfGod Lauren Faust]] disowns an ignorant user on deviantArt who dismisses the show's PeripheryDemographic as "sexually repressed man-children" and defends the show's appeal ([[http://imgur.com/tFs93 You go girl.]]):
60	--> ''"Honestly?? I feel that people who call them that are ignorant a-holes. That's how I feel. I didn't create this show for little girls, I created it for little girls and their parents -- including male parents. It only stands to reason that adult animation fans without children may like it, too. The belief that boys shouldn't be interested in girl things is the main reason there's hardly anything decent for girls in animation -- or almost any media, for that matter. It's a backwards, sexist, outdated attitude."''
61	** The best part? The original user [[http://junkie121.deviantart.com/journal/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-219295096 is a brony]].
62	** [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/lauren-faust-is-just-awesome.html She did it again.]]
63	* Creator/LaurenFaust refuting claims of a KnowNothingKnowItAll woman who claimed that Rainbow Dash was a "tomboyish lesbian", the fact that Celestia was white and good and Luna being a near-black color and dark was racist, that the show was implying that smarts wouldn't help you in life, and that you need authority figures to tell you what to do with your life. Her response can be seen [[http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/12/24/my-little-non-homophobic-non-racist-non-smart-shaming-pony-a-rebuttal/ here]]. The various people that commented on the KNKIA woman's blog post defending the show also get one.
64	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDfmRqK92jQ This ad]] for the show, a parody of "[[Music/KatyPerry California Gurls]]".
65	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pTPqjKk_xCo The extended version]] which includes a ShoutOut to the Hub's [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments "favorite Pony fans"]] and canonized the FanNickName [=DJ P0N-3=].
66	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p50-oWY1pFE This]] iPhone parody promo. Yes, there's a pony for Blog/EquestriaDaily. And Derp-Zam.
67	* The [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S6VcoYziwks/TicMw3e3pkI/AAAAAAAAArQ/vb2YJ89hxBA/s1600/ponyposter.jpg official Comic Con poster]] includes almost every single significant, speaking, and/or popular character from show (at the time).[[note]]It's the non-speaking, insignificant characters that make this awesome. Almost every background or minor character that is loved by the fandom are in there. Derpy Hooves, Trixie, the Shadowbolts, Pokey Pierce, Pinkamena's friends, Doctor Whooves (Nayuki, who made the poster, confirmed that he was turned specifically so that his cutie mark could be seen), Lyra Heartstrings and Bonbon, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Colgate and Berry Punch (Nayuki confirmed that it was unintentional but is happy that it turned out that way. Colgate also is giving a dentist's smile. Whether this is a reference to her fan name is currently unknown). If you haven't figured it out already, Nayuki confirmed that the poster was made for Bronies.[[/note]]
68	** And now [[http://noval.deviantart.com/art/Season-2-Cast-300-dpi-scan-319340133 there's one]] for season 2 as well.
69	* Hasbro's [[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118040411?refCatId=19 reaction]] to the many parody videos on Website/YouTube. While most companies would file a copyright claim on the videos to get them deleted, Hasbro allows the videos to stay and actually embraces them. They understand how big the Brony community is and how much they enjoy the show.
70	** Hasbro in general has been awesome to the fandom, taking a light-hearted stance on uploading the episodes to [=YouTube=], the various fan-works, and trying to honestly answer questions the fans have about upcoming products. Part of this is because the company has ''never'' seen anything like this before.
71	** Hasbro allowed a limited hard copy printing of the FanFic ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' to be made and distributed, so long as the venture stayed non for profit. While doing this for any fanfic, Hasbro gets extra props for allowing it to happen to this one, which also contains copy righted material owned by Bethesda and is written for a strictly adult audience.
72	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'''s new executive producer [[http://twitter.com/#!/goldenrusset Jayson Thiessen]] proves that he is a Discord-tier troll. He tweeted a photo that includes [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v3dohU3XE04/TjhzwyYvh_I/AAAAAAAAJrs/zwEc-SrmL8Y/s1600/yfsiv.jpg the very first screenshot of Season 2]] (it's just Twilight reading a book, nothing out of the ordinary). This was naturally posted on [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/season-2-image.html Equestria Daily]], and people noticed that on the second computer screen was the blog itself. Some fans said how it would have been funny if the Blog/EquestriaDaily screen was of the actual article regarding the Season 2 tease, ''and then Jayson tweeted a [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pMBbeZSenlc/Tjh0kFGu_RI/AAAAAAAAJrw/Td4MPHRYJmE/s1600/89835474.jpg second photo]] of just that''. Well played, Mr. Thiessen.
73	* As far as voice acting goes, a lot of fans were quite happy that Discord was voiced by Creator/JohnDeLancie, aka [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q]]. Even Creator/LaurenFaust was [[http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2192426124 quite excited]], saying "I crapped my pants when we got him. I'm a [[JustForFun/OneOfUs gigantic Star Trek geek]] and I adore Q!".
74	* John de Lancie experiencing the joy of being part of the MLP fandom. From his twitter: 'Roddenberry warned me that I had no idea what I was getting into with Star Trek. Someone should have warned me about My Little Pony! Egads!'
75	* A major Fan Run Convention, [=BronyCon=] Winter 2012, which is held in New York, had a massive turnout this January because 3 major voice actors were there: Creator/AndreaLibman, Creator/NicoleOliver, and Creator/AshleighBall. The CMOA is that, this summer, the first announced guests are Creator/LaurenFaust and Creator/JohnDeLancie. That's right, the creator herself and Discord are coming to [=BronyCon=], and they had to move it to the Meadowlands Exposition Center in UsefulNotes/NewJersey for more space. Check out [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/bronycon-turned-upside-down-starts.html#more Equestria Daily]] for more information about the news and [[http://www.bronycon.org BronyCon.org]] for more information about the convention.
76	** The guest list grew since then, in both senses. Creator/TaraStrong, Creator/AndreaLibman, Creator/NicoleOliver, Creator/CathyWeseluck, Creator/LeeTockar, Peter New, and Amy Keating Rogers were announced as guests of honor, and the number of attendees quickly topped 2,000.
77	** Writer Meghan [=McCarthy=] came on as a last-minute addition, and the attendee total hit its maximum of 4,000 in the final days before the opening ceremony. A charity auction was held on the first night, with the last item being a Season 1 Comic Con poster signed by nearly every voice actor. The bidding stalled just shy of $1,000, then took off again after Lauren Faust was invited out to add her signature. The winning bid was '''$4,050'''.
78	** The 2013 event, in the Baltimore Convention Center and Hilton Baltimore, drew a final total of '''8,407 attendees''' - more than double the previous summer's crowd, and over 10 times the number who attended the Winter 2012 con.
79	** [=BronyCon=] 2015 became the first pony convention to break five figures, with a final count of '''10,011 attendees'''.
80	** After several years of declining attendance, the final [=BronyCon=] in 2019 broke all the records. There were '''10,215 attendees'''. The charity auction raised '''over $80,000''', almost as much as the previous top two MLP convention auctions combined. Over the years, [=BronyCon=] raised '''more than a quarter of a million dollars''' for children's cancer research.
81	* On February 11, 2012, Hasbro [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/celestia-is-finally-white.html announced]] that they would be releasing toys of fan-favorite characters Trixie, DJ PON-3, Zecora and Nightmare Moon, along with a more show-accurate Celestia. Taking a look at the reactions from the fans, it's clear that most of them consider this a CMOA for Hasbro.
82	* The Series could be considered a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the Flash software.
83	* Creator/LaurenFaust put up a second batch of sketches to raise money for medical purposes. Firefly, Medley, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Princess Celestia were auctioned off. They raised $18,041 altogether, with the Twilight sketch raising '''$9100''' on its own.
84	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7URogxWx_aE This]] commercial aired on Pinkie Pie's birthday (75 days after the airing of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed A Friend In Deed]]), and was, according to Creator/TheHub's Website/{{Facebook}} page, made to celebrate that day, which is something only the true fans would recognize. Furthermore, the commercial itself seemed to hint that a video game could possibly be in the works. Bronies rejoiced.
85	* Creator/JohnDeLancie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVK3jgOhFwY announced]] that he is helping to create a documentary about the Brony phenomenon to counteract the media's general [[FanHater reaction to it]]. Its [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/257527888/bronycon-the-documentary Kickstarter page]] goal is a whopping $60,000... which received over $30,000 in pledges on its ''first day alone'', and reached its goal by the end of the Third. Creator/LaurenFaust and Creator/TaraStrong got on board as producers, the total pledges are close to $150,000 (not counting any money in through [=PayPal=]), and the target was increased to $200,000 by June 10. Various incentives are also being offered for different pledge levels, running from a thank-you in the documentary credits all the way up to a dinner with John, Lauren, and Tara. The $200,000 goal was reached with nearly a week to spare. It was raised to $270,000 in order to allow the crew to travel to conventions in England and Germany; as of June 7, 2012, that total has also been met. The final total was $322,022, making it the second most funded film on Kickstarter. And in fact, if the $26,142 raised through [=PayPal=] was included, it would be first.
86	* Creator/JohnDeLancie wearing a "Brony" T-Shirt while doing a panel at [=BronyCon=] and getting a standing ovation simply by saying, "I'm with you." Sir, [[JustForFun/OneOfUs welcome to the herd]]!
87	* At Comic Con, we got a song with Twilight lamenting how the one thing in her life that she's been completely unprepared for is happening. Once the song ends, Spike realizes she still hasn't said what she's actually talking about, and asks about it. End clip. Trollestia would approve.
88	* The fact that there's now [[http://fav.me/d5atqq7 a MAP OF EQUESTRIA.]] That's right, Hasbro gave us a map.
89	* The "-licious" videos are mostly [=CMoFs=], but the original voice actors being actively involved automatically makes them awesome:
90	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amE5Bnc-aE8 Why we won't be getting "Rarilicious,"]] as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amE5Bnc-aE8 this]]. The awesome is not the videos themselves; great though they are, we've seen fan-made animation of the caliber before. But the awesome is who was doing the voice. And who was potentially risking her entire career to do so.
91	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhu-Irmq0bM&feature=plcp Applelicious]], or is it?
92	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9KHryogru6Q Discord himself did one!]]
93	** Creator/TaraStrong deserves one for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblE8YYLyQ0 starting the whole trend]].
94	* When a Season 1 DVD box set was announced (which is itself something of a CMOA for the show, given it only exists at all because of the fanbase), it received so many preorders [[http://www.wtvy.com/news/headlines/Friendship-is-Magic-DVD-Pre-Order-Skyrockets-Up-Amazon-DVD-Charts-169137066.html that it ended up being the third most popular DVD on Amazon]], temporarily beating out ''Film/TheHungerGames'' and ''Series/TheWalkingDead''. Not bad for a fanbase that had previously been considered an extremely niche market.
95	* At the Canterlot Gardens 2012 voice actor panel was pretty awesome. Andrea Libman brought a six-year old Pegasister named Prudence onstage for the whole panel. The biggest highlight was when the hosts asked the audience to give Tara Strong the silent treatment for being late to the panel - only for Tara to arrive dressed in a complete Twilight Sparkle cosplay outfit.
96	* Hot Topic recently made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A4-aicXxaI& "Hot Minute" video featuring Fluttershy]]. Hot Topic also did another one with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02WCSLeb3IA Rainbow Dash]] the week afterwards, and five months later, came out with one for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okg38oDyY3Q Princess Twilight Sparkle]] that has some ''Equestria Girls'' footage to boot and one with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h30MCKV-NbY Pinkie Pie]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWcxeBCOst4 Applejack's]] has also been released. And with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wRJN-uxQnc Rarity]], the Mane 6 is complete.
97	* [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/01/new-pony-promo-with-scenes-from.html This Season 3 trailer.]]
98	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oOeT6J5XIo This]] official promo parodying Advertising/TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld.
99	* The fact that whoever was behind translating the show into Japanese managed to make theme songs that were as upbeat and infectious as the original tracks. Seriously, you can't help but smile when listening to them. (It helps that they show some of the most funny and heartwarming clips from other episodes during them.) The opening song, in particular, is delightfully energetic and probably counts as a {{Woolseyism}}.
100	* Comic Con 2013 featured some quite enticing animatics of season 4.
101	** There will be an episode that directly addresses Scootaloo's inability to fly.
102	** The Mane Six and Spike as a ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' parody, complete with what looks like it'll be a quite a shot of the city they're transported to.
103	** The return of NIGHTMARE MOON.
104	*** Also the fact that a large number of fans showed up to the panel, despite the rather controversial season 3 finale. Hopefully this means they've learned to accept Princess Twilight or are at least willing to give it a chance.
105	* Season 4's premiere date? [[http://family-room.ew.com/2013/07/25/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-season-4-premiere/ November 23rd, 2013]]. That's right, the same day ''Series/DoctorWho'' is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a TV special! And to make this announcement even more sweet? It was announced on Lauren Faust's birthday!
106	** Even better! The Hub celebrated said 50th anniversary by posting [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=580154012033685&set=a.155347071181050.33326.119249468124144&type=1&theater a frame from "Call of the Cutie"]] [[AscendedFanon that shows Apple Bloom's confrontation with Doctor Hooves.]] Now, The Hub was initially squemish about making the connection because of fears of legal repercussions from the BBC. Well, [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/11/doctor-whooves-acknowledged-by-bbc.html I have a feeling they won't have to worry about that for a while...]]
107	* Creator/WayForward wants to make a pony game. Yes, they want to do it, Hasbro isn't forcing them to.
108	** The creator of ''VideoGame/EccoTheDolphin'' also wants to make a pony game.
109	* December 23, 2013. It was officially [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/episode-11-threes-crowd-synopsis.html announced]] that Music/WeirdAlYankovic would be guest starring on the show (something fans have been wishing for since season 1). What's more, the entire episode was a [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/weird-al-episode-probably-musical.html musical]].
110	* Despite the fact that it's an April Fools joke, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-DDF0q68kw this]] trailer for a new MLP spinoff is pretty cool.
111	* [=BABSCon=] (Bay Area Brony Spectacular): April 18-20, 2014, in Burlingame, CA. To date, it's had the largest attendance of any first-year pony convention (about 2300) and the most guests of any pony con ''ever''. A total of '''20''' guests turned out in person:
112	** Voice actors: Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Ashleigh Ball, Nicole Oliver, Cathy Weseluck, Peter New, Brian Drummond, Brynna Drummond
113	** Show writers: Amy Keating Rogers, M.A. Larson, Meghan [=McCarthy=], Josh Haber, Natasha Levinger
114	** Other writers: G.M. Berrow (chapter books), Heather Nuhfer (comics)
115	** Comic artists: Andy Price, Heather Breckel, Tony Fleecs
116	** Directors: Jayson Thiessen, Jim Miller
117	** And appearing via Skype: Creator/TabithaStGermain - thus making this con the first one ever in which the entire Mane Six took part!
118	* To celebrate its "Villaintines Day" event, the [[Creator/TheHub Hub Network]] released a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGmT1h4gGY parody]] of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XO4XiRop0 trailer]] for ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' starring Discord as Maleficent and Twilight as Aurora, which uses spliced footage from the show to meticulously recreate the trailer shot-for-shot. And if that weren't enough, they went the extra mile and gave us Creator/JohnDeLancie and Creator/TaraStrong reciting the original lines almost word-for-word! ...Though not without its share of [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilariously]] spoofed bits:
119	-->'''Discord:''' Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will fall into a [[ShapedLikeItself sleep-like]] ''[[NeverSayDie sleep!]]''
120
121	-->'''Twilight:''' All the other creatures fly. Why don't you?\
122	'''Discord:''' I have wings. They are strong... but not as strong as Rainbow Dash's.
123	* The date: December 7, 2014. The place: Santiago, Chile. The event: a Christmas parade similar to UsefulNotes/{{Macys\|ThanksgivingDayParade}} by a department store group known as Paris. The awesome: [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/12/giant-twilight-sparkle-takes-over-chile.html The first ever MLP-related Parade Balloon]] ''anywhere''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmF_TIXBz-o The handlers made her wave to the crowd, even]]! (Though this has happened in the Macy's Parade multiple times.) As an artist named Tyrranux says:
124	-->'''Tyrranux:''' You know you’re a true cultural phenomenon when you get your own parade balloon.
125	* During the 2015 {{Super Bowl\|Special}}, in the third quarter, there was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ul29X69UJA NFL promotional commercial, entitled "Together We Make Football"]], with various fans, celebrities, and others cheering for the teams (reminiscent of the NFL's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIrrOKxVXKs "Best Fans Ever"]] promo from 2011), including Music/BritneySpears, Keyboard Cat, and the characters of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar''. Out of nowhere for two seconds, the Mane 6 appear and cheer wearing Colts gear - and the fandom went ''balls'' (just look at the comments!). According to the show staff, the ad agency responsible for the ad called out to Hasbro and DHX for a few seconds of ponies cheering for the ad.
126	* With Season 5 confirmed to have 26 more episodes, this will mark Friendship is Magic as the longest running Hasbro-animated cartoon, beating the original Transformers cartoon's 98 episodes and GI-Joe's 95. Who would have thought a cartoon about talking ponies could ever reach that far?
127	** Now that it's been renewed, it will run for (at least) six seasons, equaling shows like ''Series/GameOfThrones'', ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', and ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars''. Not bad for a kid's cartoon show.
128	*** The show has been confirmed for both a [[https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/03/zap2it-reports-april-15th-as-return-of.html seventh]] ''and'' an [[https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/02/my-little-pony-continues-with-season-8.html eighth]] season.
129	** The series ultimately ended with 221 episodes (not counting the ''Best Gift Ever'' special).
130	* The 2015 Equestria LA convention, held in Anaheim on September 4-6, scored a double coup. ''My Little Pony'' creator Bonnie Zacherle was featured as a guest of honor, and Lauren Faust signed on as a last-minute addition - ''and they did a panel together''.
131	* Before Season 6 aired, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-U8Lnc7G2I this amazing promo]] was made, parodying the opening to ''Series/GameOfThrones''.
