* An episode of ''{{Animaniacs}}'' had the Warner siblings visiting a vampire's mansion. After their introductory antics left him stunned, he used the line and led them with a wavery stagger, which the Warners happily imitated.

*** It's this particular instance of the joke, by the way, that inspired {{Aerosmith}} to write their song of the same name. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Frankenstein#Cultural_legacy No, really.]]

Not to be confused with the {{Aerosmith}} (+ RunDMC)) song. That's about, [[IntercourseWithYou well]]...

* In ''{{Are You Being Served}}'', a visiting Arab sheikh's interpreter after being told to ask his master to "walk this way" stared at [[PetHomosexual Mr Humphrey's]] mincing walk and replied, "It's more than my job's worth!"

* ''The Lucy Show'': Jack Benny guest starred, and answered Lucy's "Walk this way" with "I already do." (Benny had a notoriously swishy hip-swinging gait.)

* A particularly demented variant in BobClampett's [[LooneyTunes cartoon]] ''The Big Snooze'': Bugs tells Elmer (who is in drag, trying to escape Hollywood wolves. ItMakesSenseInContext. [[DreamLand Sorta.]] ) to "Quick! Run this way!" [[http://www.220.ro/desene-animate/The-Big-Snooze/x60e8C0xDh/ Has to be seen to be believed.]] (Occurs at 5:45)

* A particularly demented variant in BobClampett's [[LooneyTunes cartoon]] "The Big Snooze": Bugs tells Elmer (who is in drag, trying to escape Hollywood wolves. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It sort of makes sense in context]]) to "Quick! Run this way!" [[http://www.220.ro/desene-animate/The-Big-Snooze/x60e8C0xDh/ Has to be seen to be believed.]] (Occurs at 5:45)

* In an early episode of ''{{Rugrats}}'', Grandpa is told to "walk this way" by a man with an unusual stride. He mimics it.

* Memorably averted in ''GarfieldAndFriends'': "Don't worry, we won't do that old joke."

* Done to death with the [[CowAndChicken Red Guy]]. Especially remarkable since he has one of the silliest walks imaginable. If you could call jumping on your buttocks 'walking' that is.

Not to be confused with the {{Aerosmith}} song. That's about, [[IntercourseWithYou well]]...

* In the ''DoctorWho'' ExpandedUniverse novel ''First Frontier'':

* The "less naughty" Chemist Shop sketch in ''[=~Monty Python's Flying Circus~=]'':
-->'''Man''': Good morning. I'd like some aftershave, please.\\
'''Chemist''': Ah, certainly. Walk this way, please.\\
'''Man''': If I could walk that way I wouldn't need aftershave.\\
''[POLICEMAN enters and bundles the customer off the set.]''

* Memorably averted in ''GarfieldAndFriends'': "Don't worry, we won't do that old joke."
* There is [[OlderThanTheyThink a proud tradition]] of 'walk in the way I do'; one book describes the ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanni zanni]]'' of the ''[[CommediaDellArte commedia dell'arte]]'' copying the aged miser Pantalone when told to "walk this way".

* ''LeisureSuitLarry 2'', where a maitre d' of a snooty restaurant is disserving Larry:
-->"Please, walk this way."\\
You think to yourself, "If I walked that way, I'd use talcum powder!"
* In the cartoon ''The Itsy Bitsy Spider'', Itsy is told to "walk this way," by a fat waddling ladybug, but gets a smack in the face when he actually does walk that way.
