4	From the height of TheEighties fad days to TheNewTens, ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' has been etched in popular culture as a saccharine toy line for young girls who [[AllGirlsLikePonies love horses]].
5
6	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'', ''Franchise/CareBears'', or ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' will get mixed in.
7
8	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, sometimes to SubcultureOfTheWeek levels).

10	Subtrope of BlandNameProduct. Not to be confused with [[TheMockbuster cheap knockoffs of the show]] [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct or toys]], or with IPhony... Well, ok, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p50-oWY1pFE maybe just this once.]]

18	* Nissan's 2011 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AFna6R-rAo Pôneis Malditos]] ("damned ponies") campaign in Brazil.
19	* A Creator/{{Sega}} commercial circa Christmas 1994 had a dad go into a department store after his son asked for "UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis or UsefulNotes/GameGear", repeating the names out loud to himself but accidentally confusing the words as he passes other displays. At the end, he stops and asks, "Mega Pegasus for Reindeer?" while standing in front of a display for "My Precious Pegasus". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8CM9-NyKo Watch it here.]]
20	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GwVZwbbhgM "My Little Puppy"]] is a PublicServiceAnnouncement parodying the "My Little Pony" toyline about how dogs should not be treated like toys.

22
23	[[folder:Comic Books]]
24	* [[http://imagizer.imageshack.us/scaled/landing/825/8800.jpg This]] ''Belch Dimension Comics'' cover. Notably, it preceded the actual MLP:FIM comic book by three months and had Spike portrayed by a dog a good year before the release of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''.
25	* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'':
26	** Inside the ''MLP:FIM'' universe itself, there's a franchise aimed at little fillies called "My Tiny Gecko".
27	** The Annual 2014 issue features a unique example of [[RuleOfThree a show within a comic book within a show]]. The issues centers around the Power Ponies, a superhero team. They were initially introduced in the show when the Mane 6 and Spike take thier roles in a story via Spike's magic comic book. Unlike the Mane 6, the Power Ponies barely tolerate one another with Humdrum (a small colt that Spike took the role of) being the one that tries to keep order. After their Rogues Gallery team up to beat them and steal their powers, Humdrum chastises the mares for their bickering and teaches them to work together and use the magic of friendship (along with turning the foes against oen another). Where does Humdrum learn this? From his favorite TV Show, "My Little Donkey", featuring donkey versions of the Mane 6. The Power Ponies even watch the show together with Humdrum after saving the day.
28	* ''WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange'' comics have an example of this with "My Little Baloney", to go with the [[PunnyName food puns]] the series is known for. Blog/EquestriaDaily featured this comic for some reason.
29	* An issue of ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' magazine featured a parody actually titled "My Little Phony" featuring Hillary Clinton as a pony.
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
33	* In ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'', 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 ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]''. Her dad is not only a brony, but a ''Generation 1'' brony - apparently there was an attempt by Toycorp to get boys into the franchise by crossing over with ''[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Robots Who Are Totally Also Cars]]''.
34	[[/folder]]
35
36	[[folder:Fan Works]]
37	* ''Fanfic/ArcPhantoms'': Yuya gets an Xyz Monster called "Performapal Pop Unicorn" which is a unicorn with a popcorn bucket cutie mark.
38	* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has repeated mentions of the "My Little Ponyta" franchise.
39	* In ''Fanfic/TimeFixersNicktoonsOfTheFuture'', it is mentioned sometimes that "My Happy Pretty Seahorse" is Junior's favorite show.
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
43	* 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.
44	* ''Film/CarousHELL'' has 'My Tiny Uni'', which apparently features Princess Molestia and has fans named bronicorns. The theme song plays during the credits.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Jokes]]
48	* In 2013, it turned out that several European meat products included [[MysteryMeat undeclared meats, including horse]]. In Germany, one pun was "My Lidl Pony" [[note]]Lidl being a major German discounter chain[[/note]].
49	[[/folder]]
50
51	[[folder:Literature]]
52	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''
53	** Susan, Death's granddaughter in ''Literature/SoulMusic'', gets a "My Little Binky" toy for her third birthday from her grandfather, modeled after his pale horse, Binky. Her parents return it, fearing that it will make her a less "normal" child.
54	** In ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'', when Death is acting as the Disc's Santa-counterpart, he's suspicious of the toy horses he's handing out:
55	--->Horses, Death felt, shouldn't grin. Any horse that was grinning was planning something.

58	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
59	Power ponies from Jessie
60	* One of the OncePerEpisode {{Parody Commercial}}s 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.
61	* 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.
62	* ''Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob'' had a fake advert for "Candy Tails", horse tail hair coated in candy and braided for children to attach to their hair and lick the candy coating off. A tie-in ''My Little Pony''-esque [[ShowWithInAShow Candy Tails animation]] was there too, showing happy colorful talking horses who can't wait to get their tails chopped off to be turned into Candy Tails. Unusually for this trope, it is an old male horse who gets the most lines in the segment.
63	* ''Series/RolandRatTheSeries'' had a ParodyCommercial spot for "My Little Warthog", with the tagline: "To have, to hold, and to smell"
64	* In ''Series/FreshOffTheBoat'', Jessica tells her sons about wanting a [[ShoddyKnockoff Sparkle Time Beauty Horse]] as a child and not getting one because of her strict household. She claims that even though they had brittle hair and burned to touch and every five toys had a human face, they were the hottest toy in her neighbourhood.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Roleplay]]
68	* The forum RP ''Roleplay/{{A Shock to the System\|Roleplay}}'' has a "Your Tiny Horse doll", as a loot drop on an [[spoiler: UndeadChild]].
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
72	* ''TabletopGame/DeadOfWinter'': One random event card lets a male character find a beloved "My Tiny Horsey" figurine during the ZombieApocalypse. It disgusts a GrumpyOldMan back at the Colony but makes the character immune to [[DamageTyping Despair]].
73	-->'''Survivor:''' This is Princess Apple Twinkle and we're getting married.\
74	'''Old-Timer:''' So it's come to this.
75	* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}} Apocalypse'' includes the card "Four Horsies of the Apocalypse", while ''Munchkin Grimm Tidings'' includes the Bad Unicorn. Both are colorful cartoon horses with cutie marks. One of the horsies even looks like Pinkie Pie.
76	* ''TabletopGame/UnstableUnicorns'' is full of colorful and cute unicorns and basically lives to parody this trope.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Toys]]
80	* 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". There are also a variety of other ''My Little Pony''-related parody stickers in the line, all based on other iterations of the toy brand.
81	[[/folder]]
82
83	[[folder:Video Games]]
84	* Maria collects "My Precious Pony" dolls in the ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'' games.
85	* In the first ''VideoGame/EndlessNightmare'' your character's daughter appears to be a fangirl of an In-universe MLP knockoff called "Unicorn". You can explore her bedroom and her bedsheets have a unicorn drawn in the same animation style as MLP.
86	* In ''VideoGame/RedFactionArmageddon'', one of the many weapons a player can equip is "Mr. Toots", a cutesy, colorful unicorn about the size of a small dog who is wielded by being slung over the player's shoulder and having his belly squeezed to make him fart. Of course, since he farts ''[[{{Fartillery}} super-destructive rainbow colored lasers]]'', he classifies as a LethalJokeItem.
87	* ''VideoGame/CrystalsPonyTale'' for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis is a whole game involving this.
88	* Strangely enough, ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor'''s blacksmithing kit. "'My Little Anvil' Junior Smithing Kit. Smithing is magic!"
89	* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
90	** The game added the Balloonicorn in the Pyromania update, along with goggles that make everything appear as a Candyland, and the Pyro's bubbleblower (flamethrower) sprays rainbows (napalm) over all the other characters.
91	** There's also the Magical Mercenary, a cosmetic item in the shape of a unicorn hood. Complete with voice lines from most of the classes when you have it equipped.
92	--->'''Engineer:''' Unicorn erectin' a dispenser!\
93	'''Heavy:''' Heavy is wearing pink pony costume, and you are ''still'' biggest idiot.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Web Comics]]
97	* ''WEBCOMIC/{{Pupster}}'': Kevin watches "Pretty Pretty Horsey" on the laptop in the twentyfourth page of ''Egg Over Easy''.
98	* In ''Webcomic/{{Rhapsodies}}'', Shilo's daughter, Bonnie, enjoys playing with her [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/04172011/ ''Pony Pals'' play set]] which includes the throne room of the Pony Ruler, the [[ParodyReligion Pink Unicorn!]]
99	* 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]])--and they like it too(!).
100	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
101	** First is Maplehoof. Instead of buying pony toys for her daughter, Rose's mother went all the way to buying a live pony. Its name and a heart mark on the flank follow suit with the style of the show.
102	** And then there is Dirk Strider, who watches the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic actual show]] without any phony-ness [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006427 and has posters to show for it]]. He may or may not be a fan of the show itself ({{irony}} is a strange mistress) but he admits to loving Rainbow Dash. Like [[Creator/AndrewHussie his creator]], Dirk is obsessed with horses in general.
103	* ''Webcomic/ParadoxSpace'', a spin-off of ''Homestuck'', features [[Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff Sweet Bro]] playing with a magenta / rainbow colored unicorn in "[[http://hs.hiveswap.com/paradoxspace/index.php?comic=74 Pones]]" (also known as "Ponie"). Hella Jeff thinks that this means Sweet Bro will want to be the back of his [[PantomimeAnimal horse costume]].
104	* Tagger the Beaver from ''Webcomic/NipAndTuck'' is a fan of "Bitty Pretty Pony"; this is used to settle a dispute with his rival via Mutually Assured Blackmail. Later, we see that [[http://www.rhjunior.com/nip-and-tuck-0869/ Tagger is a hipster]] about it.
105	* ''ComicBook/{{Flare}}'' has [[http://www.heroicmultiverse.com/flare/webcomic/index.php?pn=533 "Dolf and the Pretty Pony]]", supposedly written and illustrated by Flare and her sister when they were little girls.
106	* ''Webcomic/PepsiaPhobia'' has a kingdom of civilized ponies who are clearly a parody of My Little Pony.
107	* ''Webcomic/{{Erma}}'', the titular ghost girl is a massive secret fangirl of ''Warrior Unicorn Princess'', which is partially this along with elements of ''Steven Universe'' and ''Star Butterfly vs the Forces of Evil''. She is embarassed of letting anyone but her parents find out (but she gains a best friend who also loves the show). Hilariously enough, while the show does have its merchandise, it is also darker (or can be dark) than many expected... much like MLP G4 or other inspiration, with Erma's babysitter lampshading it.
108	* ''Webcomic/AlienHandSyndrome'': In an early scene, Mina visits Erin's room, and is surprised that it doesn't reflect her tough personality. Erin claims the decor was a joke by her dad. In the GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion of [[http://ahs-comic.com/archive/page-8/ Page 8]] the artist has added a couple of ''FIM''-style pony toys for good measure.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Web Original]]
112	* ''VideoGame/MoshiMonsters'' has the "My Little Mutant" toys that can be bought as decorations for rooms. They look like the classic ponies... with six legs.
113	* The inevitable FunTShirt versions such as "[[Film/{{Alien}} My Little Zenomorph]]".
114	* WebAnimation/MidnightMares was apparently created by a fan of MLP and the characters wouldn't look out of place in the show. Terra Steed is Equestria, Daybreak is Celestia, Nightfall Nod is Nightmare Moon etc.
115	* One episode of ''WebComic/TheBedfellows'' has Fatigue watching a cartoon called "My Little Donkey", and even playing with donkey figures as they do so.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Web Videos]]
119	* Nella's Epic Poney Soap Opera from ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick''. It contains an 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]]".
120	* The ''WebAnimation/WelcomeTo'' web series frequently mentions ''MLP'' and its fandom by name. However, one gag from "Welcome to Website/{{Tumblr}}" involves a large number of humorously misnamed fandoms, and ''MLP'' is mentioned as ''My Last Prognosis'', a pony-themed medical drama.
121	* One of the short films on ''We The Economy'' is "The Unbelievably Sweet Alpacas", a ''My Little Pony'' parody that teaches about economic inequality.
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Western Animation]]
125	* 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.
126	* ''WesternAnimation/BeingIan'' has "Happy Unicorns", which the titular character is shown to be a big fan of despite being way out of the target audience. The episode "Home Alone" even has Ian find ways to his family out of the house just to watch a marathon of it in secret.
127	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' has the tomboyish Spinelli being forced to watch "My Furry Unicorns".
128	* 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/MyLittlePonyAndFriends Danny.]] For bonus points, one of the ponies in Pretty Pretty Pegasus is named Sparkleface, probably alluding to Twilight Sparkle, and another is named Butterbean, probably referring to Fluttershy and/or [[RuleSixtyThree Butterscotch]]. A playful jab is even taken at the show's older fanbase. At one point, we see a chubby adult male background extra wearing a Pretty Pretty Pegasus T-shirt.
129	* ''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.
130	* D.W. from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' has been shown to enjoy "My Fluffy Unicorn". She owns a doll she calls Uni, which even has what appears to be a cutie mark of three stars. Despite the name, the only characters shown are {{winged unicorn}}s, not standard ones.
131	** Early episodes also had her constantly wanting to go to "Ponyland" for family vacations, much to Arthur's dread.
132	* ''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'').
133	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' has a cute-looking pony, with hearts for a Cutie Mark, attacking Buck.
134	* ''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/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''.
135	* Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'', 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.
136	* ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'' has several:
137	** My Little War Horse: Pinkie Pie in a crossover with ''Literature/WarHorse''.
138	** [=ThunderLOLcats=]: [[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats2011}} Lion-O]] vs. memes, Ponies included.
139	** Cowboys & Alien Force: An Applejack ersatz in a {{Mind Screw}}y crossover that also involves ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', stretchy bands and multiple title cards.
140	** Rainbow Dash & Bernstein: Rainbow Dash replaces the titular puppet of ''Series/CrashAndBernstein''.
141	** My Little PWNY: The most direct parody. A ParodyCommercial of ponies causing nothing but trouble (especially of the "painful to humans" variety).
142	** Adjustment Burro: Twilight Sparkle starts dating Eeyore, in a mashup of ''WesternAnimation/{{Winnie the Pooh\|2011}}'' and ''Film/TheAdjustmentBureau''.
143	** [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] online, where someone made a fan episode called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQIf0H-oWCs MAD Ponies]], which consisted of every single pony and horse-related skit or joke that was in the show at the time.
144	* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had a sketch advertising "My Little Pony: Apocalypse Ponies", a toy line modeled after the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse.
145	--> ♪"My Little Pony, Apocalypse ponies, punish mankind for their sins..."♪
146	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' has "My Troubled Pony", combining colorful ponies with an over-the-top SoapOpera. It is [[DontFearTheReaper Grim]]'s favorite show (second to ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'') but, unfortunately for him, it was CutShort. Considering the fandom of grown men that the ''My Little Pony'' franchise has since attracted, this also could count as a case of HilariousInHindsight.
147	* The ShowWithinAShow "Lunacorns" in ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' is Private's favorite TV program.
148	* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' features the villain Professor Princess, who flies on a toy unicorn.
149	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' does this too:
150	--> '''Nathan (to Toki):''' Do you have your 'My Little Disemboweled Pony'?
151	* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': "The Equestranauts" has Tina as a fan of the eponymous cartoon horse show (which combines the cutesy ambiance of the original ''My Little Pony 'n' Friends'' with the action-packed adventures of ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower''). The show pokes fun at "bronies" when Tina is surprised to find that all the other attendees at Equestra-Con are middle-aged men obsessed with ''The Equestranauts''. Then one of these "Equest-icles" cheats Tina out of a rare toy, so her father Bob has to "go undercover".
152	* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': Much to Milo's dismay, has promised Lizbeth to go see a movie called "Return to Unicorn Island" in "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS3E2AlleyOopsCatchOfTheDay Alley Oops!]]".
153	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
154	** One of the "Mabel's Scrapbook" shorts features the gang from the Mystery Shack sneaking into a theater showing the movie "Pony Heist".
155	** "The Last Mabelcorn" features 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. [[spoiler: Except that last part's not actually true, it's something she made up to get rid of meddling humans bugging her for a lock of her magical hair.]]
156	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' featured a DVD called "A Pony's Tail". It is depicted as being so terrible [[SuckinessIsPainful unearthly forces try to stop people from seeing it.]] Ironically, [[EmoTeen Carrie]] watches it by mistake [[AllGirlsLikePonies and actually likes it.]]
157	-->'''Carrie:''' Is it ''wrong'' for a punk-rock chick who lives in a haunted malevolent mansion to be touched by the magical friendship of a pony?
158	* 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.
159	* The 2015 reboot ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' episode "Pink Dawn" contains the titular evil princess riding a giant pony who looks suspiciously like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]].
160	* Smoove Move from ''WesternAnimation/TurboFast'' has a nerdy little brother named Buster, who rides on one of these. Same goes for his friends.
161	* In ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'', the hero and several other female characters, including several female villains, are shown to enjoy a show called "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour".
162	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' featured the toilet being clogged up by a "Princess Pony" comic book [[spoiler: which turns out to be owned by [[{{Goth}} Lucy.]]]]
163	* ''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 [[OurKelpiesAreDifferent be Kelpies]], Scottish water spirits who resemble horses and try to drown whoever they convince to ride on their backs.
164	* Unicorns in ''WesternAnimation/SummerCampIsland'' are pastel and have marks on their flanks. Although their appearance is based off the unicorns from ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''.
165	* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', two issues of "Pretty Pony" are offered as a prize at a comic book convention.
166	* ''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 cutesy 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.
167	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'': "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS1E26BubbleBassReviewsPatricksPrisonPals Bubble Bass Reviews]]" shows that Bubble Bass owns a limited edition "My Tiny Seahorse".
