* Parodied on ''[[Family Guy]]'' in season 9, when Chris wanted to dress up as Bill Cosby for Halloween, using blackface as well as his trademark sweater. His mother tried telling him it’s wrong, but Chris just said, ‘Why, don’t I look like him?’ His mother agreed that he did, but then said, ‘You can’t just go out on the street in blackface, it’s racist! [[Hypocritical Humor|Now go put on that Indian head gear I bought you!]]’
* The very rare [[Van Beuren Studios]] cartoon; Plane Dumb, had Tom and Jerry (No relation to the famous cat and mouse duo), disguising theirselves in blackface when arriving in Africa.
