what's this from

Presumably the My Little Pony comic. I haven't read it but I understand it likes putting in references that will amuse adults.

(I think this is part of the reason bronies exist?)

As a dad of two girls, these jokes exist in a lot of kids stuff. Part of what makes it funny is you're not expecting it, so it catches you completely off guard. Then you laugh out loud and you kids either laugh too because they think there was something funny to laugh at, or they just look at you like you've got 2 heads. Both responses only make it funnier to me

Watching the original run of Animaniacs as an adult was an absolute blast. So much stuff that completely flew over my head as a kid, plus other stuff that was lost in translation. Many references still fly over my head, but it's still great stuff.

i assume the bronies came first and then jokes like these. the comics didnt start until after it had gained popularity with people in their 20s
