{{examples|Works which reference Abbot and Costello:}}
* [[Looney Tunes]] parodied them in three cartoons as "Babbit and Catstello". They also borrowed some of Lou's catch phrases and made them their own, like "I'm only three-and-a-half years old" and [[Bugs Bunny]]'s "Gee, ain't I a stinker?"
* In the "Vintage Steele" episode of ''[[Remington Steele]]'' a body is found in a vat of wine at the Costello Monastery. When Laura suggests they interview the abbot, Movie buff Steele quips "Ah...the Abbot of Costello".
