@Dirty Bit  
I think word ‘Zibba’ sounds better.

Translation: Zigga stole my bike!

I do believe that Quaggan-Equestrian has absconded with my unpowered, two-wheeled conveyance.

@Kholchev  
Oh, I see. Thanks! :)
 
Honestly, though, I think that should be explained on the tag page. :|

@Midday Shine  
It’s a site “You’re the man now dog!” that used to be a dump of user-created memes.

@Midday Shine  
You’re the man now, dog!  

YTMND? The heck does it mean? o.O

@Vest  
I guess the homage is lost on people who care more about old memes than old games (and I admit I’m one of those, sorry, I’m probably born too late).

@Vest  
It’s awful when someone misinterpreting your creation, i know that wasn’t your intention bring back the meme but don’t you mind if i animate this? you know…  
stole my bike

@Vest  
I see Zecora as Sunset Shimmer before Sunset Shimmer, but within the same as age bracket as Harshwhinny and Peachbottom.
 
My comment was more unique, as Maney is a pun of a recent boxing superstar, and I never played Punch-Out!.

Reading these comments, I just realized to my horror that Zecora is commonly associated as the “black” character on the show (as zebras are of African descent, and her premiere episode had a theme of not fearing people of different cultures), and that this same iconic classic gaming screenshot is also used for a “nigga stole my bike” meme from the mid 2000’s.
 
This is not my intent at all, but I don’t fault anyone for making that connection and assuming I was implying Zecora is a “nigga” stealing Twilight’s bike.
 
This is homage to the episode Magic Duel where Twilight was embraced by Zecora to focus her powers to defeating Trixie. She went through many rigorous trials and tests, and grew tremendously because of Zecora’s assistance, making her a “personal trainer” to Twilight. Since the theme of the 30 Minute Art Challenge was “boxer ponies” I wanted to use a classic scene from my childhood, as I don’t really have a lot of knowledge of other boxing-related pop culture references to immediately sample from, so I went with the one I was most familiar with, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out for the NES.
 
This is an homage to the episode Magic Duel, a crossover with one of my favorite video games growing up, and was submitted as a 30 minute art challenge. This is no way is intended to be latching onto the “nigga stole my bike” meme, which I will agree with those who have stated below and elsewhere, is a pretty dumb meme that has aged very poorly since its popularization on the SomethingAwful years of Internet culture.
 
It aged so poorly that I never once remembered its very existence while conceptualizing and illustrating this image.

Wow this meme is old.

We were all thinking it XD

@Ereiam  

 
Damn! Ya beat me to it. :3

Zebra stole my bike!
 
Gotta love the old memes.

Zecora: “You want to beat Maney, the Ponyple’s Champ? Try to outrun me towards the farthest street lamp.”

…I know where this is going…
