* Used by Swindle in [[Transformers Animated]] while selling increasingly ridiculous weapons to [[Those Two Bad Guys|Lugnut and Blitzwing]].
* Sometimes made fun of by Colin and Ryan on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' during the "Greatest Hits" game.
* Spoofed in an episode of [[Tiny Toon Adventures]] involving an Infomercial parody where Babs tries to sell drying pins, only for the audiance to boo and hiss every time she mentions a price, forcing her to lower it and add even more "bonus" items, until the price gets ridiculously low. This backfires, however, when the offer even includes "the Sun" which she has apparently brought into the studio, thus, vaporizing everyone.
* Called out verbatim in the [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al]] song "Mr. Popeil."
* Parodied in a ''[[Mad TV]]'' sketch for the Spishak "Omni-Bowl", a bowl that can double as a cereal bowl AND a small pasta bowl. When the spokesman asks how much people would expect to pay for the product, the other actors agree that $8000 sounds about right. The spokesman shocks them by saying they would have to only pay $400 for the wondrous bowl.
