* ''Series/DerryGirls'': Season 2, Episode 2 is a DeconstructiveParody to "inspirational teacher" movies like ''Dead Poets Society'', as it's demonstrated that the qualities that make someone a CoolTeacher don't necessarily make them a ''good'' teacher. Ms De Brún inviting the gang around to her house for wine is rightly called out as inappropriate. Her laidback attitude comes across as a BlitheSpirit, until it's ultimately revealed to be because she's just an ApatheticTeacher, which is why she ends up quitting for a better one rather than being forced out by {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s as would be expected in such a film.

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': The scene in "Bob and Deliver", where the students stand on their desk and rip open bags of microwave popcorn, mimics both the beginning (where the students rip a chapter out of their textbooks) and the end (where the students salute the departing teacher by standing on their desks) of ''Dead Poets Society''.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In "Marks for Effort", the pony students in Spike's class have their hooves on the desks, saying "O Dragon, my Dragon".
