* The popular Website/{{Youtube}} creator, WebVideo/{{Nerbit}} makes content based on completing "challenge" runs in video games, and one of his popular video series consists of creating a character that is an {{Expy}} of UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln and finishing a game's main story as such, mostly done in open-world WesternRPG games with CharacterCustomization so far. It started with ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' where the 16th President's signature top hat and repeater rifle were actual in-game items; in other games, he'll either try to find in-game items that resemble them or resort to mods if possible. So far, "Abraham Lincoln" has appeared in: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT44i26w12E&t=343s Fallout 3]]'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQD1A9hS6Y&t=505s twice]]), ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYl9IcA_Wuo&t=1681s Fallout: New Vegas]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIUO8oO30iE&t=1524s&pp=ygUWbmVyYml0IGFicmFoYW0gbGluY29sbg%3D%3D Fallout 4]]'', and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yK00OQcrQo&t=798s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]''. In every video, "Abraham Lincoln" typically abides by a couple of rules of conduct: he will [[BewareTheHonestOnes never tell a lie for good or for bad]], and he will [[SlaveLiberation free all slaves]] and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil destroy all agents of slavery]].

* There's a (mostly) gratuitous scene toward the end of ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'' that has the protagonist [[IAteWhat downing an entire ladle of hallucinogenic Indian liquor]] and [[MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes seeing his entire life up to that point "flash before his eyes" in an increasingly surreal manner]]. One memory that sticks out is the time he was in grade school and Abraham Lincoln supposedly came to speak to his class...only the speaker is obviously ''not'' Lincoln, just an impostor in a stovepipe hat and a fake beard who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about (played by Creator/GilbertGottfried in his standard NoIndoorVoice style)..
