Cultural References in Friendship is Magic

It's no secret that this cartoon is filled with references to old movies/cartoons, and some modern day stuff as well. Since I have absolutely nothing else to report on due to new episode day, I thought I'd start a compilation post to get it all laid out for us!  So lets do it! So far I've collected these from a request for them on /co/.  Most of it is copy pasta, cause I honestly don't know half of them!
