History Main / YodelLand

* ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' villain [[UnfortunateName Professor Poopypants]] is from a country called "New [[UsefulNotes/Switzerland Swissland]]" where everyone has a silly name.

* OlderThanRadio: Johanna Spyri's ''Literature/{{Heidi}}'' series, also because (or although) it is Swiss-made itself.

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' -- Japan was forced violently and hilariously out of his ''Literature/{{Heidi}}''-inspired conception of the country, as its AnthropomorphicPersonification is a [[TheGunslinger Gunslinger]] [[RichBitch Rich Son Of A Bitch]]. Which in some official pin-up art is depicted with soldier attire of yesteryear. You wanted to know how Switzerland managed to remain neutral in most of the most recent wars? Now you know.

** Cranked UpToEleven [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USL3qh6bv6I&feature=related in the anime.]] [[Funny/AxisPowersHetalia It has to be seen to be believed.]]

* In ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'' the level Sheila's Alp is this; her allies in the level are German-accented goats in lederhosen and the scenery has a very alpine feel. Oddly, Sheila herself is a [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia kangaroo with an Australian accent]].

In Film/CharliesAngels, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmGjaqi74q during this scene]], the Angels do this, but they are singing in German gibberish and Natalie is wearing lederhosen.

** ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' takes place in a medieval version of this.

** ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'', despite [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio the original story]] taking place in Italy, wears lederhosen and a Tyrolean hat.

* In David Drake and S.M. Stirling's ''Literature/TheGeneral'', the Halvardi [[FantasyCounterpartCulture are Swiss barbarian analogues]].

* Swiss army knives with 293,487,569,234,756 blades, including absurd/funny ones

* "In ''VideoGame/PapaLouieArcade'', it focuses on BavariaFest, which is a holiday in August.

* Many ''Film/JamesBond'' movies end up in Yodel Land:
** Most of the action in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' takes place in Switzerland, much of it at ski resorts.
** A small part of ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' also takes place in Switzerland (to which country he follows Goldfinger by car.) Much of the movie actually avoids this trope, however, taking place in Goldfinger's metallurgical plant, hardly part of the typical image.
** In ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', we see a very stereotypical Vienna.
** In ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'' a performance of ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'' takes place in Austria.

* [[CaptainObvious Yodelling]]

* Beautiful blonde-braided [[MsFanservice girls in cleavaged]] [[{{Meido}} Bavarian tavern wench]] dresses (like in {{Oktoberfest}}) (Female)

** Parts of ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' take place in Switzerland

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyFriend Rabbit'' episode "Mouse's Mountain" Rabbit, Mouse, Thunder and Jasper make humpa wumpa yodels so that the oogie boogies can go away.

* The comic children's song "Once an Austrian Went Yodeling" (possibly best remembered from [[Film/WeeSing ''Wee Sing in Sillyville'']]) is all about an Austrian man trying to yodel on a mountain, but getting interrupted by an avalanche, a skier, a St. Bernard dog, a grizzly bear, a milkmaid and a pretty girl.

* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': Hilde's fictional homeland of Wolfkrone is ostensibly somewhere in the German-speaking part of the Holy Roman Empire. It also apparently has a ton of advanced ClockPunk.

* ''Literature/CharlieWilsonsWar''. Gust Avrakotos is aghast when they're being wined and dined by a Swiss ArmsDealer and a fellow CIA agent asks to go to a joint where they yodeled. "In Switzerland that's as low class as you can get."
