* This was used by [[The Colbert Report|Stephen Colbert]] in a fake audition tape shown at the Correspondent's Dinner, featuring Helen Thomas in a Droopy-like role, pursuing Colbert after asking an [[Armor-Piercing Question]].
* On ''[[The West Wing]]'', after the president's entourage is shot at while leaving a public event, C.J. realizes her life was saved by someone who pulled her to the ground. She eventually figures out it's Sam and asks why he didn't tell her, and he invokes this in his response:
{{quote| '''Sam:''' I didn't want you to feel beholden to me. I didn't want it to be like an episode of ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]'', where now [[I Owe You My Life|you've gotta save my life]], and the [[Timey-Wimey Ball|time-space continuum]], and you have to [[Hello, Nurse!|follow me around with coconut oil and hot towels]]...<br />

The result is Hebert following Doug around for the rest of the day, refusing to ever shut up, and eventually he even climbs into bed with him, at which point Doug smothers him with a pillow.
