Line 23:
* Jessie and James dressed up like these guys in the ''[[Pokémon the First Movie (Anime)|Pokémon the First Movie]]: Mewtwo Strikes Back''. They even had Meowth acting as the figurehead on the bow. Thanks to [[Woolseyism]]: "I didn't know Vikings still existed." "They mostly live in Minnesota." ([[Don't Explain the Joke|See Sports]]).
* ''[[Vinland Saga]]'' of course, though none of the vikings wear horned helmets. The fact that no living viking has been recorded to wear one is perhaps a testament to [[Vinland Saga]]'s more realistic depiction of vikings than most other works-see Real Life below.
* ''[
* ''[[One Piece]]'': [[Word of God]] states that Vikings, (the ones in ''Vicky the Viking'' in particular) were the initial inspiration. They make in-story appearances in the form of the [[Attack of the Fifty Foot Whatever|Giants]] [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|of Elbaf]].
* ''[[Honey Honey no Suteki Na Bouken]]'': Honey and the gang encounter Vikings once in their journey across Europe who dress like this.
Line 34:
* ''[[Mortadelo Y Filemon]]'': Parodied where it turns out that the Vikings they encounter {{spoiler|are victims of one of [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Bacterius]]'s experiments [[Gone Horribly Wrong]], and the horns are really attached to their heads.}}
* ''[[Strontium Dog]]'' has Vikings are much like this, though only one of them has horns on his helmet.

{{quote| '''Sven''': ''(seeing "Valhalla")'' It's unbelievable!<br />
'''Doctor''': Unbelievable is right, they've even got Valkyries! It's like [[Did Not Do the Research|they've done no historical research at all!]] }}
Line 70:
** The naming is accurate; "viking" was a specific term referring to Northmen who went out pillaging.
* ''The Drawing Of The Dark'' by [[Tim Powers]] includes a small group of middle-aged Vikings who have improbably sailed their ship up the Danube River to Vienna, having sensed the possibility that the prophesied final battle of Ragnarok will take place here.
* ''[[How to Train Your Dragon]]'' takes place in the Inner Isles where Viking tribes reign supreme. There is indeed seafaring, horned helmets, <s>unsuccessful</s> raids, not to mention the added inclusion of [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|DRAGONS]].
* The Skaldi of Kushiel's Legacy have definite Viking elements. Their longboats are mentioned but never seen.
* Harry Harrison's ''[[The Technicolor Time Machine]]'' is about a movie studio's attempt to use a time machine to make a viking picture with real vikings.
Line 80:
* ''Dragonships'': [[Margaret Weis]] and Tracy Hickman's novel series takes place in a fantasy world, the protagonist is from a [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] of Vikings.
* ''Dreamscape: The Wanderer'' mentions the Langsyne; a race whose names and battle tactics are very similar to those of Vikings. No horned helmets though.
* The short story ''The Haldenmor Fugue'' from the ''[[

* A ''[[Concentration]]'' tribute to Scandinavia involved wearing horned helmets. Bob Clayton's helmet was the most historically accurate in the group.
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'': The "Spam" sketch, set in a humdrum 1970's British cafe features an inexplicable group of Vikings, complete with shaggy coats, horn-ed helments and blonde braids. Who have an equally unexplainable fondness for a certain canned meat product.
