{{examples|Works that ''reference'' The Bechdel Test (named or not), whether they pass or fail the test:}}
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Invoked in chapter 37 of ''[[First Times]]'' by "tealruby", a ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[DC Universe]]'' crossover featuring Hermione Granger, Green Lantern -- the "Book Club", an organization composed of the female members and associates of the Justice League, explicitly makes one of its rules "No Flunking the Bechdel Test".
{{quote|“We aren’t here to talk only about guys. Or whoever’s of interest. We’re here to talk about each other. A little discussion, fine. Relationship issues, of course. Just don’t make them the focus.”}}
== [[Film]] ==
* The 2016 [[Gender Flip]]ped [[Continuity Reboot]] of ''[[Ghostbusters (2016 film)|Ghostbusters]]'' passes bigtime, with a team of four [[Badass]] women who talk science, the supernatural and money, and have to deal with a male [[Dumb Blonde|Dumb Blond]] receptionist.{{context|reason=Do they discuss the Bechdel Test during the movie, or is this just a listing of the test's result that should be moved to the movie's Trivia subpage?}}
Line 36 ⟶ 40:
* ''[[Skin Horse]]'' namechecks it [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=45896 here], when even the lesbian cast member decides it's fine to discuss local [[Memetic Sex God]] Tip.
* ''[[Leftover Soup]]'': [http://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=50 "Bechdel Test passed, bitches."]
* In ''[[Magick Chicks]]'', when Cerise and Callista go to a date, Callista [http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/bechdel_test complains]{{dead link}} that the movie they've seen didn't pass the test.
* ''[[Unwinder's Tall Comics]]'' references the test on [http://tallcomics.com/?id=100 page 100] with the Rastov Test (which, instead of dealing with feminism, is a dig at overly-elaborate [[Space Opera|Space Operas]] and [[Techno Babble]]).
{{quote|'''Unwinder:''' You may know a bit about [Warren Rastov] actually. Ever heard of the Rastov test?
Line 49 ⟶ 53:
* Name Dropped in ''[[Alternate History: The Series]] : [[The Creepy Teen Years]]'' episode 2x19. It's noted as being the first time the series actually passed the test. The two women are discussing vacation plans.
* ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]'': Linkara brings up the importance of the third point during his review of ''Sultry Teenage Super Foxes''. Yes, the cast is almost uniformly female but they never talk about anything but men. Unless you count the villains, that is.
* Talked about in ''[[Extra Credits]]'' in the episode "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131021142158/http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/diversity Diversity]".
* In [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s review of ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men: First Class]]'', she pointed out that it was one of the only superhero movies to pass the test. She then told her audience to go look up what the Bechdel Test was.
* ''[[Stuff You Like]]'' references this when reviewing ''[[Underworld (film)|Underworld]]'' [http://blip.tv/stuffyoulike/halloween-special-5-ridiculously-entertaining-things-about-underworld-5680230 here]{{Dead link}}. The scene is [[Action Girl|Selene]] and Erika (briefly) discussing dresses (before going on to talk about... umm... men).
Line 59 ⟶ 63:
* In the ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' episode "Never Ricking Morty", Rick tells Morty about the test and Morty has to make up a story that passes it. Morty makes up a story that ham-handedly fits. In the story Every organism mentioned be female, Morty makes no mention of guys directly or otherwise (Summer is mentioned becoming Beth's daughter via mail delivery).
== Other Media ==
* While she didn't call it by name, [[Lauren Faust]] referenced this trope, claiming that a focus on romantic plots and subplots is what [[Girl Show Ghetto|ruins a lot of girl's shows]].
