* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': In the aptly-titled "Blues Brothers", Drake and Josh put together a routine based on the bluesmen, bringing it out at a TalentShow when [[TheyStoleOurAct an acapella group steals the song Drake was going to perform]]. Earlier in the episode, Drake can also be seen watching the film on his TV (specifically the scene where the mysterious woman blows up a phone booth that the brothers are using). Incidentally, despite the film being the point of focus in the episode, the song Drake and Josh perform is a CoverVersion of Sam & Dave's "Soul Man", which was ''not'' in the movie, but rather was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTWH1Fdkjow featured]] in one of the original ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' skits.

* In ''Literature/TheRoosevelt'', Emmet's favorite movie is ''The Blues Brothers''. He memorized it when he was little, and for a few years communicated almost entirely in ''Blues Brothers'' quotes. Now he can come up with his own words, but he still likes to recite along to the movie, and can do a very accurate Elwood impression. He thinks Elwood is autistic, like he is.
