* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' parodying Richie Rich, he states he drives hybrid. Half monster truck, half limousine, that is. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It has a mileage of three meters on a full tank.]]

* A task in one of ''Series/TopGear's'' "cheap-car challenges" asked the presenters to modify their vehicles into an executive vehicle/limousine, with each of the trio's creations being characterised by a unique characteristic. While Hammond decided to make a convertible stretch limo - and James electing to improve mobility (or at least ''try'') by grafting the front end of a Saab to the back of his Alfa Romeo (creating what he dubbed the ''Salfa Romeaab''; a vehicle which could be driven at either end) - Clarkson took the length aspect, dialled it way past 11... and applied it to his Fiat Panda. As well as retaining the two-door configuration, which required passengers to ride on a ''Film/TheGreatEscape''-tunnel-style cart just to get to the back seats, he'd made it a few feet ''longer'' than a London bus. With this rendering his car illegal for the road, shortening it involved cutting the car apart ''again'', removing the offending extra few feet and welding the two halves back together. When the car inevitably split apart along the newly rewelded seam in the middle of London, he simply left the rear half of the (front-wheel drive) car behind, ferrying his passenger to the venue in the now two-wheeled, rearless Panda.

* A 2016 SNL sketch has a limousine ordering at a drive-thru. It has multiple people a few feet apart that are all seated as if they're sitting in the back seat.

* Phil Collins is seen relaxing in the hot tub on the back of a limo in "Take Me Home." It ''might'' be the "Worlds Longest Limousine"; we only ever see the back of it, but very few limousines have hot tubs on them.

* R Kelly's video for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6y_4_b6RS8 "Ignition (Remix)."]] Well, sort of. The video depicts an [[BiggerOnTheInside absurdly spacious]] Jeep limo with an ''entire'' nightclub inside.

* Three were built as part of a ''Series/TopGear'' Challenge; of special note is Clarkson's, built from a tiny Fiat Panda and retaining the donor car's two-door configuration requiring passengers to commute within the car on a ''Film/TheGreatEscape''-tunnel-style cart, along with being so long it was no-longer road legal. In the final section of the challenge, Clarkson's limo had to be shortened so he could legally drive it in London, which lead to it breaking in half along the seam. Undeterred, Clarkson simply used the front half of his Panda, courtesy of front-wheel drive, to deliver his passenger.

* One appears in the intro to PeterGabriel's ''Steam''.

* The ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' episode "Blue Cat Blues" has Tom competing with a rich cat for a kitty's heart. He eventually pulls up to his love interest's house in an old, broken-down car, only to be driven over by his competitor's limousine. It takes nearly 10 seconds before the front half of the whole thing drives into view (the driver's seat is in the middle), and another 8 before the back half drives out of view.

* The beginning of the video for Music/AphexTwin's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fmo1Sjn7dg "Windowlicker"]]

Usually featured in comedy works, this is any very, very, ''very'' long limousine belonging to some [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense rich jerkass]] who may or may not be CompensatingForSomething. Often used as a (no pun intended) OverlyLongGag when a good portion of a scene is reserved for watching a limo take a lifetime to pull over. Of course, the main character will land inside (usually more or less forcefully) at least once. Sometimes the absurdly long vehicle will have nonsensical features like a hot-tub or a bowling alley attached, or perhaps a small car ''inside'' the limousine to help people travel within it more quickly.

[[folder:Film]]

* Pinky Fox from ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' drives a large, pink limo with twelve wheels. Toward the end of the film, when Edmund, Patou, Peepers, and Snipes attempt to get Chanticleer back to their farm to stop the villainous owl, they actually all steal Pinky's limo before Peepers gets them all to escape using another vehicle they all stole: Pinky's helicopter.

* The book adaptation of the ''McGeeAndMe'' episode ''A Star in the Breaking'' had an ImagineSpot where Nick shows up for the premier of his film debut. The narration hints at the extreme length of his limo by repeatedly interrupting its descriptions of the excited crowd to say "The limousine continues to arrive", adding on the final instance "(we're talking serious stretch here)".
* ''OurDumbCentury'' from Website/TheOnion includes an article parodying ginormous cars of the 1950s. The Cadillac Dreadnought rolls on eight wheels, seats 24 people, and has three-foot-tall tail-fins, a basement, a dashboard-mounted martini mixer, and an optional three-season patio.

* The animated opening of ''The Return of ThePinkPanther'' has the Pink Panther arrive at a movie theatre in a pink limo with an incredibly long hood... and a tiny passenger compartment and open driver's section.

* Stretching an [[TheAllegedCar AMC Pacer]] is absurd by itself already. The Mirthlimo from ''Film/WaynesWorld 2'' has grown so long that it seems to require two rear axles.

* One episode of ''TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' had London mentioning that she has a fleet of limousines so long that they can't turn corners. If she is traveling a route that goes around corners she needs to get out of one limo and into another.

* A funny contraption usually made for fun, for advertising or simply to show it can be done, is the sportscar turned absurdly long limousine, which include [[http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/02/find-of-day-lancia-delta-hf-integrale.html a Lancia Delta Integrale with a mini-bar]] and a stretched Ferrari 360 Modena with gullwing doors. As expectable, the claim to be ''sports'' cars should be taken with a grain of salt. Granted, the Lancia Delta isn't a sports car ''per se'', but a compact 5-door hatchback. This limo just happens to be based on the hotted-up version.

* An aside in ''[[XWingSeries Solo Command]]'' mentions the existence of several luxury [[FlyingCar airspeeder]] limousines, spotted near a major corporation's executive entrance. (And used as [[SherlockScan evidence]] that it's probably not where the secret off-the-books project is located.) The vehicles aren't described in depth, but one of the Wraiths claims they were big enough to fit their own ''swimming pools''.

* ''{{Spaceballs}}'' has a variation which does this gag with ''Spaceball 1''.

* This was a recurring element of the ''WesternAnimation/PowerpuffGirls'' show. An enormous white limousine that is several windows long and takes a few seconds to cross the whole screen is always the Mayor's ride of choice in times of leisure. He rides in the back.

* Once lampshaded by Skippy and Slappy Squirrel in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.

* ''Film/{{Cosmopolis}}''.

* There was a one-page-story featuring ScroogeMcDuck wondering how Rockerduck's limousine could be parked. It bends.
