Line 18:
* In ''[[Once Upon a Con]]'' series, Elle gains the nickname Geekerella from BuzzFeed after attending a masquerade ball at Starfleet Con, wearing a vintage costume that belonged to her father to win tickets to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball. While in her debut book of the same name she decides to go with it, the sequels show that she finds the nickname embarrassing.
* Gail Carson Levine also wrote a gender-flipped Cinderella variant as part of the ''[[Princess Tales]]'', titled ''Cinder-Ellis and the Glass Hill." It has Ellis nicknamed "Cinderellis" by his mean brothers, and he has to rescue himself from this bad situation.
* Emberella from ''[[Discworld/Witches Abroad|Witches Abroad]]'' is a direct parody. In a twist, the witches find out that she's actually the rightful heir and ruler to the kingdom, but Lilith put her in the "Cinderella" fairy tale to make sure no one realized that.

Line 24:
* The ''[[Sesame Street]]'' special that puts Elmo in a Cinderella role is fittingly titled ''CinderElmo''. No one besides the stepmother and the princess are complying with the narrative anyway; "evil" stepbrothers Telly and Baby Bear beg their mother to let Elmo go with them to the ball, the house dog is changed into a human so he can also go with Elmo and marries the princess when Fred the fairy godfather decides to make the transformation permanent, and the princess agrees that Elmo is too young to marry her since he's only three. The story ends with the royal family inviting everyone in the household to live in the palace, and the stepmother in her only [[Pet the Dog]] moment gives her blessing for her children and stepson to leave.

* The opera ''La Cenerentola'' has this insulting diminutive for the Cinderella figure. English translations of the opera will simply use "Cinderella" for this one.
