** {{Subtext}}/FridgeBrilliance: The actual point of the story is ''always'' left out. Sometimes the climax is too: "Out Of Season" doesn't include [[DrivenToSuicide its own twist ending]]. "Hills Like White Elephants" doesn't ever actually label [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion its core conflict]]. Everytime though, you ''know'' was the story is referring to.

* In ''Series/TheYoungIndianaJonesChronicles'', he shows up as an ambulance driver on the Italian front in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI (which he was) who competes with Indy for a girl's affections. [[spoiler: She ends up ditching both of them [[TakeAThirdOption for someone else]].

* In ''Series/KenanAndKel'', Kenan gets inspired by his biography and tries to set life goals for himself to feel complete

* RatedMForManly: See the brief biography of him above. He even made it manly to drink mojitos, for God's sake.

Shortly before his suicide, claimed to a friend that the FBI was monitoring him. [[ProperlyParanoid He was right]].

* GreatWhiteHunter: Robert Wilson in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".

** {{Subtext}}/FridgeBrilliance: The actual point of the story is ''always'' left out. Sometimes the climax is too: "Out Of Season" doesn't include [[DrivenToSuicide its own twist ending]]. "Hill's Like White Elephants" doesn't ever actually label [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion its core conflict]].

* ''Film/MidnightInParis'' (2011): Hemingway appears in a handful of scenes ... and totally steals the whole goddamn movie. Played by Corey Stoll.

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: {{Implied}}."Hills Like White Elephants" is about a couple discussing whether or not the woman should have an abortion: he wants her to, she doesn't but eventually agrees, saying she's willing to always do anything he wants. Nearly the entire story is dialogue without mentions of tone, gestures, or thoughts, leaving the possibility for a lot of Alternative Character Interpretation (whether or not she's being angry or sarcastic at the end, for example).

* ''Film/{{In Love and War|1996}}'' (1996): He is played by Creator/ChrisODonnell during WW1.

** {{Subtext}}/FridgeBrilliance: The actual point of the story is ''always'' left out. Sometimes the climax is too: "Out Of Season" ends before [[DrivenToSuicide the twist]]. "Hill's Like White Elephants" is about a man trying to convince his girlfriend (or wife) to get an abortion, but the word "abortion" is never used or even implied.

One of the most MemeticBadass writers in western literature (did you see the part about ''wrestling lions''?). Advertising/TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld is pretty much an expy of him.

* The "Form and Void" arc of ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'' has Cerebus and Jaka interacting with parodies of Hemingway and his fourth wife Mary. These are heavily based on Mary's diaries from their last safaris, when Hemingway was in poor health.

* ''Film/ShortcutToHappiness'' (2007): Hemingway is a member of the JuryOfTheDamned sitting in judgement on Jabez Stone.

* ''Film/PapaHemingwayInCuba'' (2015) Covers his life in Cuba and friendship with Denne Petticlerc. First movie filmed in Cuba since the revolution.

* He appears in the "Best Foot Forward" episode of ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'' at a party that Henry once attended. Apparently he once stole one of Henry's girlfriends.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'' has WWF Wrestler Mankind (voiced by [[Wrestling/MickFoley himself]]) allowed to fight anyone he wishes to the death, including already dead people thanks to their Celebrity Deathmatch Timemachine. Mankind choose to fight against [[spoiler: and defeated]] Ernest Hemingway.

* Portrayed in ''{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}}'' as having just sworn to "never put pen to paper again" after suffering an intense writer's block. Then he meets the Warner siblings, who just want him to sign for a delivery, and by the end of the episode he's become inspired to write again by adopting his famous BeigeProse.

* FootnoteFever: "A Natural History of the Dead" uses a footnote to further satirize the style of a history while making a sardonic statement about the extinction of "humanists" in modern society.

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: {{Implied}}."Hills Like White Elephants" is about a couple discussing whether or not the woman should have an abortion: he wants her to, she doesn't but eventually agrees, saying she's willing to always do anything he wants. Nearly the entire story is dialogue without mentions of tone, gestures or thoughts, leaving the possibility for a lot of Alternative Character Interpretation (whether or not she's being angry or sarcastic at the end, for example).

* RuleOfSymbolism: In "Hills Like White Elephants", the couple's unwanted unborn child is implicitly compared to a white elephant. In ancient Thailand, it was custom for a king to give a white elephant to a courtier he was fed up with. Since white elephants were considered sacred, the courtier wouldn't be able to use it to do any work or anything useful, but they also couldn't give it away, so their only option was to keep it as a drain on their resources.

* He appears in the "Best Foot Forward" episode of ''Series/{{Forever}}'' at a party that Henry once attended. Apparently he once stole one of Henry's girlfriends.

** {{Subtext}}/FridgeBrilliance: The actual point of the story is ''always'' left out. Sometimes the climax is too: "Out Of Season" ends before [[DrivenToSuicide the twist]].

* ManlyMenCanHunt: A central element of "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber". The wealthy Macomber takes his wife on a hunting trip and finds himself upstaged by the hunting guide, Robert Wilson. Macomber struggles to prove himself a competent hunter as his wife blatantly falls for the more confident and masculine Wilson: [[spoiler:he eventually succeeds in shooting a buffalo, but shortly after he is shot by his own wife. Hemingway leaves it open whether this second shooting is accidental or intentional.]]
