* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Lots with respect to Krusty Burger, the "premiere"(?) fast-food chain in Springfield. It all starts with the restaurant's proprieter-founder, Krusty the Klown.
** Episodes featuring specific references to McDonald's -- both at Krusty Burger and elsewhere:
*** "Lisa's First Word": The 1993 episode features the Simpson family flashing back to 1983-1984. With pop culture references abounding (including one for rival chain Wendy's), the major one relating to McDonald's is a spoof of the chain's "scratch-and-win" promotion for the 1984 Olympics, where customers could win a Big Mac, french fries, a soft drink, or even a cash prize of up to $10,000 if Team USA won a medal in the visitor's listed event. Krusty Burger customers could also win food prizes or cash, but (like McDonald's in [[Real Life]]), the promotion was created and the tickets printed before the Soviet Union announced it was backing out of the Summer Games. Many of the tickets were printed to reflect events in which the USSR or another Eastern Bloc country was favored to win; with their withdrawal, the United States won many of those events, causing Krusty Burger to lose millions of dollars because they awarded more food than they had budgeted for.
