Line 29:
* [[Firesign Theatre]]'s ''The Further Adventures of Nick Danger''. "No, no, no, no, no, no! You don't understand how radio works. Now, this is my flashback -- all I have to do to return us to the present is fade my voice out like this and cue the organist!"
* In ''[[Nebulous]]'', the Professor's frequent flashbacks to his childhood at the circus are heralded by an echo of him saying "I'm not a clown". Lampshaded when at one point, a character asks why he was lying on the floor muttering the world "clown", and at another time when the word "cloud" sets him off instead.

'''Nebulous''': ''[flashback beginning]'' I don't want to be a clown...clown...clown...
'''Sir Ronald''': ''[voice fading into the background]'' I said cloud! }}
* The musical variation is parodied in ''[[Son of Cliche]]'', in the first of the recurring sketches "Asso, Spanish Detective".

Line 50:
* Parodied in [[Duckman]]. An episode begins with Duckman waking up tied to a table and wondering how he got there. He thinks "Think back, back, back..." and flashes back...to him waking up tied to a table just a few seconds ago. This time he thinks "Think back, back back...must think back a little farther, farther, farther...". He flashes back to waking up again. Rinse and repeat, but this time he adds "Maybe volunteering for [[Mushroom Samba|LSD research]] wasn't the the best way out of the Marines" and finally succeeds in flashing back.
* Invoked in [[Earthworm Jim]];
