Line 103:
* In the 9th and worse season ''[[Roseanne]]'' copied "Under Siege II... of course, [[It Was All Just a Dream]].
* ''[[Star Trek]]'' has done ''Die Hard'' on a spaceship for a number of episodes across the series:
** ''[[Star Trek: The

** TNG: "Timescape" has elements of "''Die Hard'' in a temporal anomaly".

** Usually any time that Jefferies Tubes are mentioned, you know there's going to be a ''Die Hard'' plot, except for that one episode where Picard ended up playing the flute in them like an insane homeless man.
* ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'': "The Box".
Line 164:
* ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' has a Die Hard on the Normandy scene when Joker has to escape the Collectors and find Shepard to go rescue the rest of the crew.
* The various ''Pokémon'' games include ''Die Hard'' in an [[Pokémon Red and Blue|office building]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|a radio tower]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|a volcano, an oceanic museum, a weather institute, a submarine pen, a space centre,]] [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|a wind farm, two office buildings, another mountain]], [[Pokémon Black and White|a forest, a cold-storage warehouse, a castle,]] ''and then some''.
** In fact, there's pretty much a guarantee that you'll deal with a situation like this at least once in a Pokemon game ([[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] [[Pokémon Snap|and]] [[Hey You, Pikachu!|other]] [[Pokémon Channel|spin-offs]] [[Pokémon Rumble|excluded]]). [[Justified Trope|Justified]], in that the villainous groups pretty much ''are'' [[Die Hard]] terrorists/crime syndicates, especially Team Rocket.
* In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', there is a "Die Hard starring Princess Peach" [[Unexpected Gameplay Change|segment]] after every chapter. The castle has been taken over by Bowser, and you have to use secret passages and disguises to sneak around and, at one point, [[A Rare Sentence|stealthily bake a cake.]]
Line 177:
* Parodied with the page-quote exchange on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. Just to clarify, those events didn't really happen. They're a fabrication by Homer.
** The episode where Maggie rescues the other babies from a creche made a lot of references to ''[[The Great Escape]]'', but was actually more like ''Die Hard'' In A Nursery.
* The ''[[Fillmore!]]'' episode "A Cold Day at X".
* The ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Super Fun Time" is essentially ''[[Die Hard]]'' at Ye Olde Settlement, where a team of terrorists, complete with a Hans lookalike, takes a frontier-town educational park hostage after robbing a Burger King.
* An episode of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' does this with a unique twist: It's the building where Rattrap is hiding that is trying to kill him. He sets off the security system and tries to deactivate it.
