8* ''Homicide: A Year On the Killing Streets'' by Creator/DavidSimon mentions that the Baltimore police and prosecutors "no longer believe in all that Norman Rockwell business about twelve angry men in shirtsleeves, arguing in sticky heat over the essential evidence", instead assuming a jury will be a dozen [[ApatheticCitizens brain-deads]] thinking the accused [[TheyLookLikeEveryoneElse seems like a nice young man]] and laughing over the prosecutor's choice of tie.

11* ''Series/HancocksHalfHour'': Parodied with the episode "Twelve Angry Men", in which Tony and Sid are part of the jury. Tony is naturally the RogueJuror who votes not guilty and gradually persuades the other jurors to agree with him using sentimental appeal, emotional blackmail and discussion of fine British justice - until he changes his mind and decides the accused is guilty.
12* ''Series/MorkAndMindy'' spoofs the title of the film with the episode "Twelve Angry Appliances", in which Mork (as "Tommy Kilowatt, the Ghost of Appliances Past") puts a skeezy repairman on "trial" in a court of animated electrical devices (referred to as [[{{Pun}} "Circuit Court"]]).
13* ''Series/VeronicaMars'': The A-plot of the second season episode "One Angry Veronica" is a WholePlotReference to the movie, complete with a RogueJuror, the fact [[NoNameGiven we never find out the names of most of the rest of the jurors]], and that there's a racist juror who eventually turns everyone off. The major differences are, it takes place over the course of several days (as opposed to the movie, which takes place during one day), and here, the RogueJuror thinks the defendants are guilty, as opposed to the other jury members, who think they're innocent...at first.

16* ''Series/SesameStreet'': A ''Monsterpiece Theater'' sketch is entitled "12 Angry Men". Cookie Monster, as Alistair Cookie, tries to introduce the titular story, but is instead given cutaways of "Three Sad Cows" and "Two Proud Pigs".

22* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': The Covergence Plaque contains the number 1057 and it shows 12 stick figures, with the eighth colored pink. It based on ''Film/TwelveAngryMen'', which was released on 1957. It's the TropeCodifier of RogueJuror, as in the story, all jurors except the eighth voted guilty and it causes the jury to reassess the trial.
23* ''VideoGame/AHatInTime'': According to their clapperboards, the Conductor is filming ''Twelve Angry Conductors''.

27* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': The season 11 episode "Twelve And A Half Angry Men" is a WholePlotReference to the film. Mayor West is put on trial for the murder of an aide and twelve residents of Quahog make up the jury, each one acting as an {{Expy}} for one of the jurors in the film.
28* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Several elements from ''Film/TwelveAngryMen'' are used in "[[Recap/HeyArnoldS1E17FalseAlarmWorldRecords False Alarm]]":
29** Harold, Phoebe, Gerald, Helga, Curly and Arnold have to figure out if Eugene pulled the fire alarm where the titular twelve angry jurors had to find out if the boy being accused of murder was guilty.
30** Helga acts like Juror No. 3, who holds fast to his belief that the accused is guilty and often antagonizes Juror No. 8.
31** Arnold being the only person to vote not guilty like there only being one man saying “not guilty” against the eleven jurors during the anonymous votes from both medias.
32** Just like Juror No. 8 who voted “not guilty,” Arnold slowly gets the others to change their minds.
33** A character has tickets to a sporting event, in the movie it’s UsefulNotes/{{baseball}} and here it’s [[ProfessionalWrestling wrestling]].
34** Arnold stabs a pencil in the table like how Juror No. 8 does this with a knife.
35* A ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch is entitled "12 Angry Little People", where ''12 Angry Men'' is parodied with Creator/FisherPrice Little People figures.
36* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Squid Wood", [=SpongeBob=] creates a ventriloquist dummy of Squidward, which he dubs "Mini Squidward" to play with him when the real Squidward doesn't want to play with him. At one point, [=SpongeBob=] and Mini Squidward play a game of charades, and Mini Squidward correctly guesses "12 Angry Jellyfish".
