* ''[[Castlevania RPG]]'' parodies it [http://www.cvrpg.com/comics/comic.php?arch=comic&page=720 here].

* Gently [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in [http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20110107/ this] [[Ctrl Alt Del|Ctrl+Alt+Del]] strip.

* ''[[Five Color Control (Webcomic)|Five Color Control]]'' uses it in a direct [[Shout Out]] to ''[[Rocky (Film)|Rocky]]'' in [http://www.5colorcontrol.com/comic.php?comic=132 this strip], where Gideon Jura trains in preparation for his upcoming appearance in the ''[[Magic the Gathering|Magic 2012 Core Set]]''.

Line 167:

* Inverted in the [[Looney Tunes|Daffy Duck]] cartoon, "Holiday for Drumsticks". To "save" Tom, a turkey destined for Thanksgiving dinner, Daffy coaches him through an exercise regimen to help him lose weight -- while packing away all the food (and the pounds) the farmers have set out to fatten him up. The [[Training Montage]] is on a split screen, with Tom working himself rail-thin in one half, and Daffy stuffing his beak in the other, with the opposite effect on his physique. In the end, Daffy is the one thrown inside the oven. (As Garfield once said about getting in shape, "I AM in shape! Round is a shape!")

* Spoofed in the ''[[South Park]]'' ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' episode, when the boys are training their characters up to defeat the Internet [[Troll]] who has been [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|ruining the game for everyone]]; whilst the in-game shots shows their characters gradually improving, as they are are spending all their time eating junk food in front of computers the out-game shots of the montage show the boys gradually getting fatter, spottier and further out of shape over time.

** The song that plays in the background during this scene is "Live to Win" by Paul Stanley, one of the members of [[Kiss]]. Funnily enough, the episode with the song was [[Early Bird Cameo|released before Paul's album]].

** Also brilliantly spoofed/lampshaded in "Asspen", and then in an identical fashion in the movie ''[[Team America]]'': textbook-perfect training montages are accompanied by the song 'Montage,' which helpfully notes that ''"In anything, if you want to go / From just a beginner to a pro / You need a montage."'' This is also something of a subversion because Stan still skis like a beginner after the montage.

** And then there is the episode "The Losing Edge" where Randy goes through a [[Training Montage]] training to beat the other fathers at Stan's baseball games set to the song ''You're The Best Around''. He even ''sings it'' in a high-pitched voice when he's fighting the father he's been training the hardest against. Sort of. ''"You're the best...Around! Yamma-damma-damma-damma-hey!"''
