* [http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/One_Out_of_Ten_Doctors This] uncyclopedia article, supposing on the answer to what the one out of ten doctors do recommend (leeching and eye of newt for allergy medication and the like..)
* Parodied when ''[[The Goodies]]'' go into the advertising business in "It Might As Well Be String".
{{quote| '''Tim:''' Look at this! Nine out of every ten doctors agree that people who don't eat Sunbeam sliced bread will get squashed by elephants!<br />
'''Graeme:''' That's right. Mind you, it did take us a long time to find the right nine doctors, woo hoo hoo (makes loony signal) ... and the elephants! }}
* ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' had a few comics where Pig introduced his friends, five doctors, four of which agreed on everything, the fifth of which always disagreed. This was for more than just chewing gum -- they went to a funeral, and while the first four were offering their condolences, the fifth one just said, "She's dead all right."
Line 42:
* "Nine out of ten sociopaths agree: You gotta see [[Animutation|Hyakugojyuuichi]]." How's that for meter?
* Yet another parody, in ''[[Sam and Max]]: Reality 2.0'':
{{quote| '''Max''': ''(describing what happened to a beat-up gumball machine)'' A gang of five dentists came through the other night, and four of them just started beating the hell out of it!<br />
'''Sam''': What did the fifth one do?<br />
'''Max''': He kept sobbing, and saying, "Why can't we all just get along?" }}
* [[RoboCop]] [[Recycled: the Series|The Series]] has an interesting example, nine out of ten doctors ''employed by a [[Mega Corp]]'' recommend a drug, clearly in an attempt to invoke the trope.
Line 50:
** Another version: "9 out of 10 doctors agree: [[Tom Baker|Four]]'s scarf is too long."
* Colin Mochrie on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]?'':
{{quote| "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}oCdkV8MOcDQ Nine out of ten Americans agree that out of ten Americans, one will disagree with the other nine!]"}}
** Or how about: "Nine out ten doctors agree the tenth one should really chill out" (did I get that right)
* On February 15 2008, a news anchor on ''[[Royal Canadian Air Farce]]'' said, "A survey shows 51% of Canadians believe there is such a thing as love at first sight. The other 49% are men."
* A strip of ''[[9 Chickweed Lane]]'' showed a group of white-coated figures walking away from another whom they'd apparently just hanged (only his legs are shown, dangling from the top of the panel), and an onlooker remarking, "Nine out of ten doctors agreed."
* A humorous variant in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'':
{{quote| '''Tupari Drinks Machine:''' "Four out of five Tupari drinkers recommend Tupari to their friends. The last one is on my list!"}}
* Played for laughs in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'': a doctor who's treating your bullet wounds will mention that four out of five doctors would use leeches, lucky for you he's the fifth.
* That`s what happens to the 10th doctor [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fhetbwvmhJw/TfrLZSSj8mI/AAAAAAAAD3k/h4fAN-z5Lt8/s1600/Dentista-2.jpg\]
