In Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), Sonic is shown peeping on Tom and Maddie's movie nights over the years he has spent in secret at Green Hills, and Sonic's favorite is Speed. Sonic even imitates Dennis Hopper's famous "Pop quiz, hotshot" and notes that Keanu Reeves is a national treasure. Becomes even more funnier now that Reeves is set to voice Sonic's biggest rival Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic The Hedgehog 3.
Family Matters: In one episode, Carl is targeted by a bomber he put away, who rigs his treadmill to that it would explode if he got off of it.
Father Ted had an episode titled Speed 3 that was an Affectionate Parody of the first film involving a milk float that couldn't drop its speed below 4 mph.
Muppets Tonight: The episode guest-starring Sandra Bullock involves a mad bomber threatening to blow up the studio if the show's ratings drop below fifty.
NCIS: The camera looping trick, twice! Once by the team (who then have to keep DiNozzo from spotting the movie reference), and once on the team, where it passes without comment.
The Bomb Run gamemode in Crashday is inspired by the movie. It consists on the drivers having a bomb attached to their cars, and having to cross through every checkpoint. After a checkpoint is crossed, the speed threshold is raised, if at any point the driver runs below the threshold, the bomb explodes after some seconds.
The mission "Publicity Tour" from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City features a clear allusion to this movie, almost being a Whole-Plot Reference. It consist of Tommy, the protagonist, having to drive the Love Fist limo fast enough and without stopping until the aforementioned band manages to disarm a bomb inside it, otherwise the bomb goes off.
Sunset Overdrive: * Bomb Delivery's bomb placement voice lines references the first two movies of the series:
Player: Defuse the bomb if I go too slow? It's kinda like that movie about the bus...or was it a boat?
In "The Springfield Files", Homer tells Lenny and Carl a trick he learned from watching the film.
"I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called..The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.
In "Bye Bye Nerdie", as Otto's drag race with Marge is styled like a scene from the film; Milhouse exclaims "Wow! It's just like Speed 2, only with a bus instead of a boat!".
There was also an issue of the Simpsons Comics that directly parodies Speed, with Sideshow Bob rigging the Springfield Elementary bus with a bomb as its main plot.
Actually, to be exact, he'd rigged Bart's usual seat on the bus with a massive spring that would launch the seat (and thus Bart) out of the bus once it went too fast; everyone on the bus just assumes it's a bomb because Bart (who was ironically kept back in detention for that field trip) overheard Bob leaving a message on Skinner's answerphone but the machine cut in before Bob could specify the nature of the threat.
