We were somewhere around Ponyville, on the edge of the Everfree, when the Poison Joke began to take hold.

Okay, I caught some of those references, but I'd love a complete list all the same.

The book references in "A Bad Case of Writer's Block" I'm assuming. In order, they are:
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Illuminatus! by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
Ulysses by James Joyce
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Paul Clifford by Edward Bulwer-Lytton

If I'm gonna rip off someone else, I'm gonna do it as pretentiously as I can.

"Bored Beyond Belief" is actually a movie reference -- L.A. Story starring Steve Martin.

"If You Give Pinkie Pie a Cookie" is also a book reference -- If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Numeroff.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single stallion in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a mare." Hrmph. If I'm going to rip off another author, I should at least rip off something that isn't already ripping off something else.

Wait, what? :twilightoops:

"Sweetie Belle, light of my life, fire of my loins." Oh for... now I'm just creeping myself out.

I've been trying to get Ghost to write that one for years.

"Spike! I'm going out for a while, no idea when I'll be back...".

Celestia died today. Or maybe it was yesterday.

It was the best of muffins; it was the worst of muffins.

The sky above the castle was the color of a portal tuned to a dead world.

That's no moon. That's a space penitentiary.

Rainbow Dash dilated.

Jane Austen was a satirist, and most of her work, was written to parody or satirize a certain type of "morality story" novel that was popular at the time. Pride and Prejudice was intended to satirize popular stories involving relationships and women's roles in society.
