Line 23:
* ''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.
* Palin's most popular appearance in media is the aforementioned ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch (seen {{ 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).
* 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, {{ 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."]]
* [[The Midnight Beast]]'s {{ parody}} of [[Kesha]]'s "TiK ToK" uses Palin to play on the original's odd [[The Rolling Stones|Mick Jagger]] line:
