* The De La Soul music video for "Oooh" (from their 2000 album, "AOI: Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump") was a ghetto version of ''The Wizard of Oz''. In the video, a woman with a chihuahua in her purse is denied access to a club (by [[HeyItsThatGuy Dave Chappelle]], using the voice he uses for his crackhead characters on ''HalfBaked'' and ''ChappellesShow''). When she tries to sneak in, the woman falls and finds herself in the land of "Oooh" dressed as Dorothy with the three members of De La Soul as the Lion, The Scarecrow, and the Tin Man heading off to Brick City to see the Great Wiz (played by Wu Tang Clan member Redman). The difference between this parody and all other ''Wizard of Oz'' parodies is that: (1) The shoes "Dorothy" has on are silver platform heels (which is a reference to the ''Wizard of Oz'' book, which had Dorothy's shoes as silver rather than ruby like in the popular film version), and (2) The whole thing turns out to be a thought in the woman's head as she's being insulted by the bouncer, averting the ButYouWereThereAndYouAndYou trope (and referencing "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge"'s ending in which everything the protagonist did was just an extended fantasy), and the woman enters the club unnoticed.

**''MadTV'' had another ''Wizard of Oz'' parody where Dorothy (Nicole Parker) is caught in a hurricane (as she's now living in Florida) and ends up in Oz. Now GenreSavvy, she clicks her heels to return home and not have to go through the plot again -- until hurricanes keep bringing her back to Oz and crushing members of the Lollipop Guild.
***And another, where Dorothy wakes up to find that her Auntie Em and her family are replaced by M&M's and that the whole ending is being shamelessly used for a commercial.
* ''SaturdayNightLive'' had ''WizardOfOz'' parodies as well:
**The season five episode hosted by Elliot Gould had a Canadian version where Dorothy follows yellow snow instead of a yellow brick road (this sketch was notorious for having Garrett Morris {''SNL'''s token black cast member at the time} have a nervous breakdown backstage after being cast as a flying [[UnfortunateImplications monkey]]).
**Seasons 20 and 29 had ''Wizard of Oz'' parodies that were similar to the one about Dorothy crushing members of the Lollipop Guild and the Wicked Witch when her house landed in Oz.
**Season 36 had ''Wizard of Oz'' as the focus of an episode of Turner Classic Movie channel's show, "The Essentials." The episode showed deleted scenes from the movie featuring a nerdy weather vane (played by Fred Armisen) joining Dorothy (Anne Hathaway), The Tin Man (Taran Killam), The Scarecrow (Andy Samberg), and the Cowardly Lion (Bill Hader) on their trip to Oz.
