* He was even on ''[[Cracked.com]]'' as an example of a creepy christmas tradition. [http://www.cracked.com/article_18941_5-creepy-christmas-traditions-from-around-world_p2.html Link].
* A [[Running Gag]] on the ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]'' [[Christmas Special]] has various characters wondering if Jinga and Beru are the Krampus, and if he was just smashed.
* Krampus received his own episode on [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924031311/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/cr/ff/28993-episode-45-krampus CR's ''Familiar Faces'' series.] [[Couch Gag|Since CR always draws a title card featuring the respective character in a different style,]] [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' Christmas Special, the Krampus is accidentally summoned by Hank and Dean and proceeds to punish Rusty Venture.
* ''[[American Dad]]'' has a rather interesting spin on this character. At first, it seems that Santa is benign as he gives presents to good little children and Krampus is malevolent as he punishes children for bad behavior. But as it turns out, Krampus actually DOESN'T punish children for fun. He does it because he wants them to grow up to become productive members of society. When Steve finds out the truth, he and Krampus actually become friends. Santa, in contrast, is secretly the corrupter to children - he corrupts children so that they'll buy more toys from him.
