* Also the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vz2nxdM0qc Tab Clear ad], in which the Sasquatch is revealed to be [[World War One|Kaiser Wilhelm II]], fallen from his zeppelin into the mud of Oregon. Suddenly everything is clear...

* A brand of iced coffee used Bigfoot for advertisements on TV and radio. One such ad mentioned that most witnesses saw Bigfoot between the hours of midnight to 3 ~~am -- either~~ because Bigfoot was raiding store fridges at night looking for iced coffee, or because most of the witnesses were drunk.

* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMfz3aCaGKo Kokanee]'' beer commercials used to feature the sasquatch as a mascot.

Line 80:

* One of the engineered future hominid species in Dougal Dixon's ''Man After Man'' resembles a yeti, and some of its descendants evolve into bigfoot-like variations.

* ''The Long Walk'' (Where Slavomir Ravisz escapes from a Gulag), contains an encounter with a Yeti. In fact, that's why he got in contact with a publisher in the first place.

* ''The Aquiliad'' by S.P. Somtow is a '''''wacky''''' [[Alternate History]] in which [[The Roman Empire]] has [[Schizo-Tech|developed steamships]] and is now exploring and settling Terra Nova (i.e., North America). Where the narrator finds the Sasquatii, or, as the scholars put it in proper Greek, the ~~Megapodes -- who~~ greet the Romans with, "Shalom." Yes, the Sasquatii are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, kidnapped and mutated by a [[Time Travel~~|Time Traveling~~]] [[Mad Scientist]] ... and it goes on to get even weirder.

* The Yetis of the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' universe are given an entry in ''[[Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them]]''. They're said to grow close to fifteen feet tall, have snow white fur, eat anything it comes across, live in Tibet, fear fire, and possibly are related to Trolls (Though no one has gotten close enough to one to actually study it).

* In the [[Geronimo Stilton]] book ''I'm Too Fond of My Fur!'', the title character goes off to find his friend Professor Von Volt in the Himalayas, and encounters a family of yetis.

Line 100:

* ''[[Eerie Indiana]]'': Marshall Teller often spots Bigfoot rooting around in his trash.

* ''[[Harry and the Hendersons]]'' TV series mentioned above

* In perhaps the ultimate aversion of this trope, ''[[The X-Files]]'' ~~-- a~~ show which incorporated everything from human-alien hybrids to demonic possession to half-human half-tapeworms, ''and was filmed for half its run in Vancouver'' -- ''never once'' did an episode on Bigfoot.

** In the official licensed comic book, there was ''one'' Bigfoot story. I recall the infamous "Jose Chung's ''From Outer Space''" episode did feature Mulder watching the Patterson footage of an alleged female sasquatch.

** He also watches it at the end of "[[The Jersey Devil]]", an early episode where, after a long pursuit of what the main characters fantasize to be a cannibalistic primitive hominoid that lives in the woods of New Jersey the creature turns out to be a perfect normal ([[Innocent Fanservice Girl|and quite sexy]]) nude woman. Since she is killed also, there is no final answer to why she did behave that way, however.

Line 131:

* Sasquatches appear in the ''[[Shadowrun]]'' role-playing game, where they are peaceable and sentient beings capable of flawlessly imitating sounds.

* Some versions of the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' Monster Manual include Yeti as potential encounters.

* ''[[Deadlands]]'' uses both Sasquatches ''and'' Skunk Apes. The former {{spoiler|are one of the few non-[[~~Always Chaotic~~ Evil|evil]] supernatural entities in the setting}}, while the latter {{spoiler|are more malicious. This hasn't stopped one of them from developing a taste for cigars rolled from Cuban tobacco, though.}}

* Sasquatches appear in ''[[Rifts]] Canada'', as a peaceful native race that prefers to live in harmony with nature. Some of them journey into the world of men (and thus, like a great majority of species' in the game world, are available as Player Characters). There is also a magical Spirit Sasquatch, and the [[Wendigo]], which [[Our Monsters Are Different|in this case]] is a demonic Sasquatch-like monster.

* ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'' has a small handful of Yeti creatures, most of them from the Ice Age block.
