* ''Two Heads Are Better Than None'': Kel Kimble.
* The background of the opening credits of ''Carpool'' is, rather than music, the typical morning carpool conversation. Naturally, the kids start up a chant of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" When the driver yells at them to "stop saying that", they change the chant to "When will we get there? When will we get there? When will we get there?
* ''RaceToWitchMountain'': "good in any universe."

* In ''TheWrongDoor'', this is one of the catchphrases of the most annoying creature ever created.
* In the season five episode "Spiral" of ''{{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'', the Scoobies are on the run from Glory in a stolen RV, and while they're on the road, Anya decides after some inquiries that it is traditional -- and, indeed, ''required'' -- that someone ask this. So she does.
* British Tropers of a certain age may remember Timmy Mallett's early morning childrens' TV show the ''Wide Awake Club'' (Later ''Wacaday''). Mallett encouraged children to continually whine "Arrrre wwweeeeee neeeaaarrrrly thereeeee yeeeet?" as a great way to annoy adults and fellow travellers. It works.
* In ''{{Rome}}'', one of Timon's children jokingly says this on their way to Jerusalem from Rome, while they're still in the city.
* ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' had a variation with Crow continually asking Mike if it was 11:30 yet. [[spoiler:"So when will it be 11:30 again, Mike?"]]
* Trombley in GenerationKill asks this [[BloodKnight while waiting to invade Iraq.]]

[[folder:Music]]
* To the tune of "Frère Jacques":
-->''Are we there yet? Are we there yet?\\
No we're not! No we're not!\\
Keep your hands on your side. Keep your hands on your side.\\
Mum, I'm sick. Mum, I'm sick.\\
\\
Are we there yet? Are we there yet?\\
Not far now! Not far now!\\
How long till we get there? How long till we get there?\\
Who did THAT?! Who did THAT?!''
::And so on for four hundred kilometres...
* The children's channel ''{{Noggin}}'' had a summer song called "Are We There Yet?" And it was about a vacation, of course.

* ''FinalFantasyVII'': Barret, while he, Cloud and Tifa are climbing the [[OverlyLongGag stairs to Shinra Tower]]. At one point, he gets fed up with how long it's taken so far, and says he's going back down, at which point Tifa points out it'll be just as far down as it was up.
* Mr. Little from ''CaveStory'' will utter this phrase when you keep him in your inventory.
* In ''[[KingdomHeartscoded Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', Data-Sora asks this after hitting layer 20 of Olympus Coliseum (in a possible ''third'' (or higher-numbered) playthrough of the world).

* Used to emphasize Elan's childlike mentality in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0488.html this strip]] of ''{{The Order of the Stick}}''.
** Yet another ''Smurfs'' ShoutOut is done by the Demon-Roaches in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0147.html this strip]].
* Paul Southworth (of ''Ugly Hill'') did a guest strip for ''Unshelved'' where a gag summary of ''The Road'' consists of this... only with the variation that it's "Are we dead yet?"
* The "are we dead yet" gag was also used in [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2592.html this strip]] of ''IrregularWebcomic'', along with a link to this page, [[OneOfUs as usual]].

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''TheSmurfs'', of course. More than once. On [[strike:one]] most of those occasions, Papa Smurf gets tired of the other Smurfs asking "Is it much farther, Papa Smurf?" after the third time or so, and angrily replies ''"Yes it is!"''
** On other occasions (usually the second travel montage in a story), he cuts the gag off halfway through with ''"Now don't start that again!"'' or '''"Oh, smurf up!"'''
* ''TheSimpsons'', of course:
-->'''Homer:''' Are we in India yet?\\
'''Apu:''' No.\\
'''Homer:''' Are we in India yet?\\
'''Apu:''' No.\\
'''Homer:''' Are we in India yet?\\
'''Apu:''' No... Wait... Now we are.
** They also subverted it when the family was forced to hike through an African jungle:
--->'''Bart''' and '''Lisa:''' Are we insane yet? Are we insane yet? Are we insane yet?\\
'''Homer:''' I already told you, ''yes''.
** This also happens in a commercial for Universal Orlando's ''The Simpsons'' Ride, where Bart and Lisa keep on asking "Are We There Yet?" over and over.
** Also happened in an episode of the show where Bart and Lisa spent most of a long car trip continuously asking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" and Homer countering just as continuously "Just a little further. Just a little further. Just a little further."
** Still another example is between Bart and Homer when they're lost in the woods.
* ''FamilyGuy'': Chris Griffin.
-->'''Chris:''' Are we there yet?\\
'''Lois:''' No.\\
'''Chris:''' Are we there yet?\\
'''Lois:''' No.\\
'''Chris:''' Are we there yet?\\
'''Lois:''' Yes, Chris. We're here.\\
'''Chris:''' LIAR!!!
** In a FlashbackTwist from another episode, a slave on a ship heading for America keeps whining "Are we there yet?" to the captain.
--->'''Captain:''' Damn it! I swear to God I will turn this ship around.\\
'''Slaves:''' That works. Okay. That'll teach us a lesson. Yeah, that's even better.\\
'''Captain:''' All right, if that's what you... waaait a minute.
* ''AmericanDad'' had fun with this, too.
---> '''Stan''' Are we there yet?\\
'''Francine''' No.\\
'''Stan''' Are we there yet?\\
'''Francine''' No.\\
'''Stan''' Are we there yet?\\
'''Francine''' Stan, you're driving.
* ''{{Animaniacs}}'' did a whole musical number on this.
-->''Are we there yet?\\
I'm tired.\\
I'm hungry.\\
How far?\\
My nose is snotty\\
Need to move my body\\
Gotta use the potty\\
Better stop the car.''
* José Carioca keeps asking this on his way to the World Cup. The truck driver he's hitched a ride with is nice enough to keep taking him there, but not enough to put up with the constant questioning, so he gags and ties up Joe for the rest of the trip.
* In one episode of ''[=~Bobby's World~=]'', Bobby and family are moving. Within five seconds of their departture, Bobby asks "Are we there yet?" and to his surprise, the answer is yes (they were only moving across the street).
* ''{{Justice League Crisis on Two Earths}}'': Done by the Flash. More than 15 times, as stated by the GreenLantern, who was not amused.
* ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' gives us Green Arrow, with the "Are we dead yet" variant, while on a motorcycle with Black Canary. Given that they are on a railroad track, it sounds more like "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-are we-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e de-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ead ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-et?". Eventually, Black Canary responds, "Look, if we die, I promise I'll let you know."
* Used in more than one episode of ''{{Caillou}}'', though Caillou usually (though not always) refrains from asking more than once.
