Line 36:
* He played a goofy rendition of himself on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', in which he drives the Batmobile from the show (which is now a broken down wreck), complains about the [[Michael Keaton]] Batman films (Taps his pecs- "Pure West."), and dances the "Batusi" while the Simpsons slowly back away ("How come Batman doesn't ''dance'' any more?"). Another episode has the Simpsons view the TV series Batmobile in a Hollywood museum and comment on how lifelike the dummies sitting in it are -- who turn out to actually be Adam West and Burt Ward sitting perfectly still all day.
** This is probably where the "Crazy" Adam West of ''[[Family Guy]]''/''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' came from.
* In ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'', West acts like a mix between a [[Conspiracy Theorist]] and exaggerated versions of his portrayal of [[Batman (TV series)|Batman]] and John Walsh from ''[[AmericasAmerica's Most Wanted]]''. The story was written by [[The Fairly Odd Parents|Butch Hartman]] and [[Seth MacFarlane]], [[Sarcasm Mode|not like he ever worked with them again]].
* In the ''[[Histeria!]]'' episode "The Legion of Super Writers", he voiced a superhero-portrayed Ernest Hemingway.
* He did a guest spot on ''[[The Critic]]'', as a last-minute guest on Jay Sherman's show. He's quickly bumped off because they managed to book someone else that it turns out is dead, prompting him to lament, "Man I wish I had his agent."
Line 48:
* West appears in ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'' as the celebrity guest at Jack Donaghy's birthday party. After he flubs the introduction and gets thrown out, he complains that he was promised a meal.
* In ''[[Drop Dead Gorgeous (film)|Drop Dead Gorgeous]]'', he plays the lowest-possible-budget "celebrity" on the video promoting a beauty pageant, complete with words to the effect of "You might even get to meet a... CELEBRITY!" Perfect for the role, too.
* In one episode of ''[[Diagnosis: Murder]]'', he cameos as a washed-up actor who was made famous by playing half of a crime-fighting duo, ''Tuttle and the Mummy''.
* In a 1995 episode of ''Hope and Gloria '' - a short-lived television series, he played himself doing a theatre performance of ''Love Letters '' with former ''Batman'' villainess Julie Newmar also playing herself. The main character was led to believe he was her father. The program referenced his autobiography and his real name of Bill Anderson.
* In ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'', he plays Adam West, who believes he's a super hero named Catman.
