About
“Who’s A Silly Pony?” is a phrase associated with the character of Applejack from the Hasbro animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, often paired with images of her acting clumsily or making odd faces.
Origin
The phrase is taken from media from the first generation[1] of the My Little Pony franchise, made by Hasbro between 1981 and 1992. A compilation of MLP-related songs[2] including one titled “Applejack’s Song”, released as a mail order disc or cassette in the United Kingdom, spawned both the phrase and the music typically associated with it.
Spread
The MLP image hosting site Derpibooru has a tag associated with the meme, with other 210 images as of August 2015.[3] DeviantArt returns over 3,400 results when searching for “who’s a silly pony”.[5] The MLP fan works wiki cites it as an example of a meme associated with Applejack.[4] Many examples of the meme consist of a crossover featuring G1 Applejack interacting with G4 Applejack (examples below).
The original complete song has also been parodied, often in the form of videos consisting of G4 animations coupled with the G1 music (example below).
