Added DiffLines:
* When drunk, Trixie starts to quote Londo Mollari from ''Series/BabylonFive''.
* Trixie's [[spoiler:and Twilight's]] favorite novel is ''Don Rocinante of Equestria'', an obvious shout-out to Don Quixote. In ''Longest Night, Longest Day'', to keep herself amused, Trixie sings a few lines of "I, Don Quixote," slightly modified to fit into Equestria (i.e., "I am Don Rocinante" rather than "I am I, Don Quixote").
* There's a subtle one in the third chapter of ''Boast Busted;; regarding the lack of personal entries or comments in Twilight Sparkle's journal, "not even so innocuous a comment as 'it was sunny today' or [[WebVideo/DragonballAbridged 'I saw a bird; it was pretty.']]"
* When Lyra says that Pinkie Pie is going to throw Trixie a party, Trixie's response is "Why are you saying that like it's synonymous with 'she's going to drag me into a basement and torture me'?", a reference to ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''.
* In ''Carrot Top of the Line'': "[[Franchise/StarWars Help me Rainbow Dash, you're my only hope!]]" The same reference turns up in ''Helping... Hands?'', only this time Trixie to Lyra.
* "Helping... Hands?":
** When trying to figure out what Trixie turned Lyra into, the two consult a book about strange and exotic creatures called the ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Monster Manual]]''.
** The two guards stationed at the castle gates are named [[Blog/{{Moonstuck}} Moonlight Smiles and Frolicsome Meadowlark]].
** Trixie won't be banished. More like chewed out. [[Film/InglouriousBasterds She has been chewed out before.]]
* In ''An Early Reunion'', Luna's majordomo notices items in her chambers that sound suspiciously like [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings the One Ring]], [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the Ark of the Covenant]], [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom four of the five Sankara Stones]] and [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade the Holy Grail]].
* ''Secret of Andalantis'' makes references to a musical called ''The Legend of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Epona]]''. Two of the songs mentioned are the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Serenade of Water and the Bolero of Fire]].
* Pokey Pierce, at one point, claims that "he won't stop until he's [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann pierced the heavens]]" with his horn, and he gets to quote Kamina's memetic {{catchphrase}} in ''The Hero of Oaton''.
* The name of Puissance's noble House, Optiebeurs-Golo, is the name of the horse that, in 1991, established the world record for the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puissance puissance jump]].
* The beginning of [[spoiler: Luna's castigation of the Night Court]] is based off of the scene in ''Series/IClaudius'' where Augustus learns of his daughter Julia's whorishness.
* ''Crisis on Two Equestrias'':
** Each chapter is named after a song with "magic" in its title. This ties in with the plot of the fic being that [[spoiler:the Element of Magic is broken and needs to be fixed]]. Similarly, each chapter of ''The Return of Tambelon'' is named after a Series/BabylonFive episode, though it otherwise doesn't have anything to do with Babylon 5.
** Mverse Twilight tells Mverse Trixie (who was arrested and had her property destroyed thanks to a misunderstanding thanks to Lverse Trixie) that she can stay with her until she [[Fanfic/GettingBackOnYourHooves gets back on her hooves]].
** When M!Twilight teleports herself and her companions so that they're falling ''up'', she mentions "[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} thinking with 'porting]]".
* In ''The School Talent Show,'' When Trixie asks if Windowpane is stalking her window he replies that her window is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons putting his kid through college]].
* ''The Return of Tambelon'':
** The story features multiple nods to ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', including some of Grogar's lines being verbatim copies of Irenicus' to the Bhaalspawn.
** When the Element Bearers run into Bray, he pretends to be an innocent victim of Grogar's who managed to escape, a la Hans Gruber in ''Film/DieHard''.
* In one chapter of ''Old Friends'', Applebloom has this thought process:
-->''Hey, does this mean I'm helping sell [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill apples and apple acc... access... accessthingies]]? Yay! I'm helping my sister! And I should check with Miss Cheerilee what that word is again.''
* In Chapter 3 of ''Old Friends'', the door-connecting spell that results in a ScoobyDoobyDoors incident appropriately came from a book written by Abraca[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo scooby]].
* ''Tales of Ponyville'':
** Raindrops' song in Chapter 1 is a parody of the "Gypsy Bard" song from ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft''.
** In Chapter 6, Ditzy comes across Pinkie singing a few lines from "Pinkie's Brew".
* In Chapter 4 of "Eye of the Hurricane", Trixie finds out that Lyra ended up buying Iron Will's entire catalog. After spotting a "particularly grayscale book" among the purchases, Trixie asks, [[Blog/{{Moonstuck}} "And when are you going to be weaving baskets underwater?"]]
* ''An Embarrassment in Three Acts'' is the Bearers getting [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the Ember Island Treatment]]. Trixie even notes the special effects are the only decent part.
* During ''At the Grand Galloping Gala'', Trixie orders the same kind of drink as James Bond in ''Literature/CasinoRoyale''.
* In ''Ocellus' Ordinary Day,'' she has a song scene where she sings a version of the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," by Queen, but relating to her (and replacing "Crazy," with "Tasty.")
* When Ocellus starts speaking Protean, the changeling language, it turns out to be [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Newspeak]].
* One of the citizens in ''Treasure City'' is a pony named Titan Invincibleus Monarch, but [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail "there are some who call [him]... Tim."]]
