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)

* WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} did this when he turned into Sherlock Holmes when Doomie was stolen. Lydia just shrugs and crawls on all fours after him. She does humor the bum alot.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat'', Felix and Sheba visit a haunted Rock and Roll Museum. The zombie tour guide tells them to "[[ShoutOut Walk This Way]]". Felix and Sheba get into pose then go "Nah!" with Sheba declaring "That gag's cooked, man".
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'', Steve (the host of the show, who's live-action), is interacting with some [[StylisticSuck crudely-animated]] puppets made out of pieces of felt.

* WesternAnimation/TheBeatles are invited to play at a Duke's reception in "Rock and Roll Music." The butler greets them at the door, says "Walk this way" and starts walking sideways, back to the camera. The boys follow him in the same manner.

* Played with in JohnVarley’s ''Rolling Thunder'':
-->“Follow me, please.” I was so glad he didn’t say “Walk this way,” because it is ''such'' an old joke (...) and there’s no way I could have managed that sashay.

* In the Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures novel ''First Frontier'':

* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' got in on it, too. "All Fall Down" had Colonel K meet with DM and Penfold, and the Colonel told them to "Walk this way" to the scene of the crime at Puttingham-Down Research Centre and walking with an odd waddling walk. Penfold starts to imitate him and DM says reproachfully "Penfold...", to which Penfold replies "Ah, you ''are'' a spoil sport!"

* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' got in on it, too. "All Fall Down" had Colonel K meet with DM and Penfold, and the Colonel told them to "Walk this way" to the meeting room and walking with an odd waddling walk.

* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' got in on it, too. One episode had Colonel K meet with DM and Penfold, and the Colonel told them to "Step this way" to the meeting room and walking with an odd waddling walk.

* In an episode of ''TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat'', Felix and Sheba visit a haunted Rock and Roll Museum. The zombie tour guide tells them to "[[ShoutOut Walk This Way]]". Felix and Sheba get into pose then go "Nah!" with Sheba declaring "That gag's cooked, man".

** In another episode Mr Humphries is walking even stranger due to a bad back. When he tells a customer to "walk this way" the customer looks at Captain Peacock in confusion before following."

* Done in ''[[Film/TheThinMan After the Thin Man]]''. An elderly butler tells Nick to "Walk this way" and shuffles off. Nick says "Well, I'll try" and does so.

* Memorably averted in ''GarfieldAndFriends'', where a butler does a SillyWalk and says, "Walk this way," followed by Jon, Odie and Garfield pointedly walking after him in their normal fashions. "Don't worry, we won't do that old joke."

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' the 2003 series, pilot episode. Splinter says "walk this way." Michelangelo begins the obvious joke. Donatello smacks him upside the head with his bo staff.

* Naturally, ''TheMuppetShow'' can't stay away from this one. In one Pigs In Space sketch, Link Hogthrob tells First Mate Piggy (Fozzie in a costume) this, and the literal-minded bear does this trope.

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