-->-- '''Strong Bad''', ''[[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Strong Bad Email]] [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail148.html #148]]''

--> It was one of those special cocktails where each very sticky, very strong ingredient is poured in very slowly, so that they layer on top of one another. Drinks like this tend to get called Traffic Lights or Rainbow's Revenge or, in places where truth is more highly valued, Hello and Goodbye, Mr Brain Cell. In addition, this drink had some lettuce floating in it. And a slice of lemon and a piece of pineapple hooked coquettishly on the side of the glass, which had sugar frosted round the rim. There were two paper umbrellas, one pink and one blue, and they each had a cherry on the end. And someone had taken the trouble to freeze ice cubes in the shape of little elephants. After that, there's no hope. You might as well be drinking in a place called the Cococobana.

** Ridcully warns people against these in ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}''. Bilious, the (Oh) God of Hangovers, harbours a particular hatred for them. Bibulous, the god of wine, loves them and is ordering a particularly elaborate one at the point the HorribleHangoverCure hits him:

** In ''Discworld/MenAtArms'', Detritus orders a "molten sulphur on coke with phosphoric acid", "with umbrella in it". Nobby's "Slow Comfortable Double Entendre with lemonade and a fruit salad in it" is also an example.
** Featured again in ''Discworld/{{Thud}}'', when Cheery, Angua and Sally go on a girls' night out. Towards the end of the evening, Sally ''throws up'' a humorous umbrella.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': [[HornyDevils Sabine]] of the [[ThePsychoRangers Linear Guild]] is shown drinking a suitably girly pink cocktail with umbrella in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0252.html "Linear Storytelling"]].

* In Franchise/TheMuppets video of the Electric Mayhem and Sam the Eagle performing "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Bq69HfR0Y Jungle Boogie]]", the punchline is that it was all a MushroomSamba caused by Sam being UnsuspectinglySoused on these. The final bit is him looking uncertainly into an empty glass (with paper umbrella and fruit) and asking "What exactly is in a 'mai tai', anyway?"

* One ''Creator/RoosterTeeth [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnbWDDPOxJA Animated Adventure]]'' reveals that [[Creator/TheSloWMoGuys Dan Gruchy]] ordered a slew of these at a dinner with Burnie and Gavin. Each one had a progressively "wackier" name and fruity appearance, and his first one was just a fishbowl filled with glowing ice cubes and colored straws.

* Mentioned ''Videogame/StarTrekOnline'' when the player discusses Skagaran Whiskey with [[Characters/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Montgomery Scott]].

* ''Film/{{UHF}}'': Weird Al is facing total failure with his new TV channel and goes to drown his sorrows at the bar with a big fancy umbrella drink. He didn't drink but decided it was a good time to start. In the commentary, Al says he wanted the drink to be much more ornate and practically stuffed with paper baubles and garnishments, but the prop department phoned it in.

* In the SuperMarioBros story, "Bedtime for Drainhead", near the end of the story, after spending much of it looking for the sleepwalking Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool return to the Mushroom Castle to find King Koopa serving the rest of the cast these drinks as a result of being defeated by Mario.
