* ''Fanfic/LacrimeDoroDelVentoAureo'':
** The EarlyBirdCameo of the Hitman Team bantering at Club L'amore is a direct homage to the table scene from the film, with Ghiaccio being a very fitting stand-in for Tommy.
** A flashback references the opening scene of the movie. Here, [[spoiler:a young [[OriginalCharacter Olivia]] is brought along by her father to bond with her while he's out, but she doesn't know it's for Mafia business. Olivia also happened to be asleep during this until the men fired into the man that was in the back of the trunk, which her father covers up as thunder]].

* ''Series/Community'' has a first-season episode, "Contemporary American Poultry", that is an AffectionateParody of ''Goodfellas''. Abed kicks things off by quoting Henry Hill's opening line, suitably altered: "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be in a mafia movie." He also performs a voiceover narration similar to Ray Liotta's and reenacts the famed "Layla" montage by destroying or otherwise tampering with the study group's ill-gotten gains from their life of chicken-based crime. The episode ends with him admitting that he's fine with being a "schnook" again, unlike Henry.

* ''Series/TheSopranos'' was clearly influenced by the film:
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS1E1Pilot Pilot]]", when Tony grabs Christopher after he was considering selling his life story into a biopic, he mentions mobster Henry Hill.
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS1E3DenialAngerAcceptance Denial Anger Acceptance]]", Chuck Low plays Shlomo Teittleman. Shlomo learns to his shock and horror that approaching Tony with his proposition has become a DealWithTheDevil that he will regret from that day onwards. Chuck Low also played Morrie Kessler in the film, who approached Jimmy Conway with the idea and intel for the Lufthansa heist. And that arc plays out pretty much the same way, with the only difference being that Shlomo doesn't get outright killed. The way Tony carries himself in locking Shlomo into the deal, like it or not, is also very reminiscent of how Conway dealt with Morrie after the Lufthansa heist.
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS1E8TheLegendOfTennesseeMoltisanti The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti]]", Richard [=LaPenna=] tells his estranged wife, Dr. Melfi, that American culture is giving Italian-Americans a bad name, pointing out ''Goodfellas'' as an example. Creator/LorraineBracco was in that film, while Richard Romanus was in another Creator/MartinScorsese film, ''Film/MeanStreets''.
** In the same episode, Christopher shoots a baker in the foot for making him wait in line. The inverse happens in the film with the character Spider (also played by Creator/MichaelImperioli) having the same thing happen to him.
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS2E5BigGirlsDontCry Big Girls Don't Cry]]", Chris mentions that one of his dreams is to act in mob movies like "''Goodfellas'', shit like that".
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS3E3FortunateSon Fortunate Son]]", Adriana's nervous about Christopher heading off to get made, which Christopher attributes to "watching too many movies". This specifically references ''Goodfellas'', in which Tommy was whacked under the pretense of being made. In the next scene, while Christopher waits for Paulie in the parking lot, a dolly zoom similar to a scene of paranoia in ''Goodfellas'' is used.
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS3E4EmployeeOfTheMonth Employee of the Month]]", Dr. Melfi is raped by Jesus Rossi, or J. Rossi. In ''Goodfellas'', Lorraine Bracco's character also has a nemesis named J. Rossi (Janice Rossi), with whom her husband is having an affair.
** In "[[Recap/TheSopranosS5E11TheTestDream The Test Dream]]", Phil Leotardo shoots Angelo Garepe in the trunk of his car, which is a bit of an in-joke to Frank Vincent's own demise as Billy Batts.
** The scene in "[[Recap/TheSopranosS5E12LongTermParking Long Term Parking]]" with Christopher and Adriana where both of them are crying over the consequences of Adriana being an informant, including Chris's strangled wail of "Oh, God, what are we gonna do?!" mirror a similar scene where Henry and Karen Hill are falling apart at the realization they are in mortal danger from Paulie Cicero and his crew after Henry's narcotics bust.
