History Main / ElvisHasLeftThePlanet

* This is the premise of ''ElvisAndSlickMonty'', only Elvis escaped, wound up in Another Dimension, befriended an anthropomorphic fly named Slick, and returned to Earth with him. [[spoiler:The finale ends with him re-captured.]]

* Implied in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''. While Jumba, one of the aliens looking for Stitch, hears Elvis' "Hound Dog", he exclaims, "Ooh, I love this song!"

'''Alien:''' ''(shouting offscreen)'' Thaw out Creator/AndyKaufman's brain instead!

* One Marvel comic book ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' story had recurring PlanetEater Galactus facing a FateWorseThanDeath: being turned into a human. The kicker? He's a perfect replica of the King. He gets taken in by a kindly lady but at the end, just as his career revival's reaching its peak, is reminded of who he truly is. Given the choice of returning to his former existence as Galactus, he instead chooses to keep his new identity, ensuring that Elvis will ''literally'' live forever. And this story was in a "What If?" '''parody''' issue.

-->'''Steve:''' Read my lips you ugly yam-faced goon, '''I'm gonna sue!''' I'm gonna send your liability premiums clear into orbit! Even if I have to do it with Elvis' brain! He was a pretty level-headed guy in most respects.
-->'''alien''' ''(Shouting offscreen'': Thaw out Creator/AndyKaufman's brain instead!
-->'''Steve:''' [[TakeThat ARGH!]]

* Elvis ''is'' dead in the Creator/StephenKing short story "Rock-and-Roll Heaven". He is, however, still on the planet in a small town off the beaten path, where he is mayor over a town full of dead musicians and a few hapless locals, who never get older, never die, and can never leave. [[spoiler: One wonders if Music/MichaelJackson gave him a run for his money in the last election.]]
* ''Buddy Holly Is Alive And Well On Ganymede'' offers a variation. The clue is in the title.

* Implied in ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''. While Jumba, one of the aliens looking for Stitch, hears Elvis' "Hound Dog", he exclaims, "Ooh, I love this song!"

A DiscreditedTrope by this point, since even if Elvis ''had'' survived, he'd likely have died of old age by now anyway.

-->'''alien''' ''(Shouting offscreen'': Thaw out Creator/AndyKauffman's brain instead!

Not to be confused with the phrase "Elvis has left the building," which is a form of ThatsAllFolks.

* ComicStrip/BloomCounty''; in one storyline, Steve is abducted by aliens who plan to transplant Elvis' brain into him, leading to an odd result:

* In Disney/LiloAndStitch, while Jumba, one of the aliens looking for Stitch, hears Elvis' "Hound Dog", he exclaims, "Ooh, I love this song!"

---> '''Yakko:''' "G'night, Elvis."
---> '''Elvis:''' "Thank you very much, but I don't want anyone to know I'm here."

--> '''Osama:''' Look on the bright side... I still have my video camera!
--> '''Saddam:''' Maybe we can do a trio with Elvis.
--> '''Elvis:''' Dude, I don't want anything to do with either of you.

** In another episode Eek gets hit by a shrink ray and meets Elvis (not named as such, but he looks like Elvis at least), who had a shrink-ray related acident years ago. After the episode, he gets back to normal size, remembers who he is, and ''then'' gets kidnapped by aliens.

Music/ElvisPresley's death shocked millions of people. Many of these were so shocked that, rather than simply believe he had died, they decided that something was up -- that he was [[{{Faking The Dead}} faking]], like Music/RoyOrbison, or that he had been abducted by aliens, or that he ''was'' an alien himself, or any of a million different explanations. Today, we (or at least most of us) understand that Elvis is dead (if only by sheer passage of time; he was born in 1935), but the media continues to utilize, poke fun at and abuse the general idea.

** The Quintessential Phase of [[Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy the radio series]] (which, unlike earlier Phases, was an adaptation of the book, rather than the other way around) adds, mostly as a throwaway gag, that another Elvis exists on the [[AlternateUniverse alternate Earth]] that replaced the "original" Earth of the series (destroyed way back in the initial ''Hitchhiker's Guide'' radio series), one who survived at least into the first decade of the 21st century and continued to record music, including an album of {{Oasis}} covers. Thus, as far as the radio series is concerned, Elvis both '''has''' and '''has not''' left the planet (at least until the end of the series, when the alternate and all other Earths are simultaneously destroyed).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' had Elvis standing in a space station overlooking Earth and insisting that his companion blow up the earth because ''Creator/MileyCyrus'' found out that ''Creator/{{Usher}}'' was her real father in lieu of ''Creator/BillyRayCyrus'' They happily oblige and [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up the earth with the press of a button.]] but don't rack your brain too hard about that one. After all ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext [[{{Lampshading}} as the narrator will gladly tell you.]].

* Music/MichaelJackson seems to have rumors like this now.
** And Tupac.

* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' - Dracula has TupacShakur, the real PaulMcCartney, and the real Music/MichaelJackson on his moon base. Elvis is there, but Dracula laments, annoyed, that he [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p20 doesn't do shit.]] He also has UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, but he doesn't sing, and [[spoiler:Creator/BruceLee]], who [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower jumped to the moon]].
