* ''Real American Stories'' is probably the best known appearance Palin has in media that doesn't involve her being used as the clear butt of a joke. [[Irony|Ironically]], it's also fairly [[So OK Its Average|average]], with Palin only providing opening narration for stories that FOX already had kicking around the video archives for the past two years. Once people watching the show realized Palin's presence as host didn't automatically make it [[So Bad It's Good]], most stopped paying attention.▼
* In the comic book ''Barack the Barbarian'', which casts all the major players of the '08 election in a ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''-type universe, she appears wearing a [[Stripperific]] outfit.▼

** And on the gay side, we have ''Getting Levi's Johnson'', which, although primarily focusing Bristol Palin's ex-fiancee, ''also'' features Lisa Ann as "Serra Paylin," dispensing ridiculous advice and commentary to Levi (Chris Steele) between scenes.▼
* The US President in ''[[Iron Sky]]'' is an [[Iron Lady]] expy of Palin.▼
* She's played by [[Julianne Moore]] the [[HBO]] film ''[[Game Change]]'', (based on the book of the same title), which depicts the 2008 election.▼

* Palin's most popular appearance in media is the aforementioned ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch (seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE2gE-VVjBI here]). It defined most of her character traits in media from the point it aired, to the extent the Couric interview did not. "I can see Russia from my house!" is from the sketch, not the interview, though the interview had her applying more-or-less the same logic to the foreign policy question (Alaska is the only state to border Russia).
* She hosts a travelogue called ''Sarah Palin's Alaska.''▼
* In an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', Chris dates a girl with Down Syndrome who briefly makes reference to her mother being the former governor of Alaska. Notable largely because when Palin herself found about this, she indignantly called it a "kick in the gut" to families with Down Syndrome in general, claiming it to be [[Dude, Not Funny]] material, and then tried to claim that she was defending the Down Syndromed actress who read the line. The actress who played the character, who is in her forties, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhMSA6Chiag was nonplussed about this criticism], telling Palin to "get a sense of humor," and claimed she [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!|didn't need anyone to stand up for her grown-ass self]].▼
** In an open letter the actress later wrote, she accused Sarah Palin of using her Down Syndrome son as a political prop that she carried around [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"like a loaf of French bread."]]▼
== Music ==
* [[The Midnight Beast]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4npUdfEmbQ parody] of [[Ke$ha]]'s "TiK ToK" uses Palin to play on the original's odd [[The Rolling Stones|Mick Jagger]] line:

▲* And of course, the [[Parallel Porn Titles|Porn Parody]] ''Who's Nailin' Paylin?'', using a look-alike actress (Lisa Ann) in the role. In a porn version of the [[Colbert Bump]], this also heavily boosted Lisa Ann's career.
== Video Games ==
▲** And on the gay side, we have ''Getting Levi's Johnson'', which, although primarily focusing Bristol Palin's ex-fiancee, ''also'' features Lisa Ann as "Serra Paylin," dispensing ridiculous advice and commentary to Levi (Chris Steele) between scenes.
* In ''[[Kickassia]]'', when [[The Nostalgia Chick]] becomes the Vice President of the titular nation, she starts to dress and talk in a style parodying Palin.▼
▲* In the comic book ''Barack the Barbarian'', which casts all the major players of the '08 election in a ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''-type universe, she appears wearing a [[Stripperific]] outfit.
* In an episode of ''[[South Park]]'', it is revealed that her quirky image is actually [[Obfuscating Stupidity|all an act]], and that she is actually a brilliant British [[Spy Catsuit|catsuit-clad]] jewel thief taking part in an unspeakably elaborate heist, along with McCain and Obama.▼
* ''[[Mercenaries]] 2'' had [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] that enabled Palin as a playable character, along with [[Barack Obama]].
** The new ''NBA Jam'' allows for the same.
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Sinfest]]'' included [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2923 a long story arc] involving Squigley wearing a beehive hairdo and running for Vice President.
* Appears from time to time as [[The Rival]] to Robin DeSantos in ''[[Shortpacked!]]''
* In [http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/269/ this] ''[[The Unspeakable Vault of Doom|Unspeakable Vault of Doom]]'', both presidential candidates of 2008 are [[Eldritch Abomination|the Great Old Ones]] in disguise: Obama is Nyarly (Nyarlathotep), while McCain is Cthulhoo (guess...). Sarah Palin is a Shoggie (negative-IQ shoggoth [[Expy]]) in a wig.▼
* ''College Humor'' has a video where her running for vice president is just a [[Disney]] movie of a hockey mom becoming president called ''[http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1831461 Head of Skate]''.▼

** This likely came from an interview where Matt Damon slammed her "hockey mom" persona, saying that her whole story (typical suburban wife and mother sliding up the political ladder to President) sounded like the plot of a bad Disney movie.
