* ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'': When a scene from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' is redone for the closing credits of this film, the Abominable Snowman is reimagined as a snowplow rather than a monster truck.

* ''Series/TheGoodies'' did an episode spoofing Creator/ArthurCClarke's ''Mysterious World''. Tim Brooke-Taylor & Co go into the Canadian Rockies in search of mysterious creatures, only to find that Graham Garden is faking their existence (including the inevitable spoof on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, which is given away by the zipper that Graham has to undo to take a piss). Eventually one of Tim's feet swells up to enormous size due to him constantly walking around steep slopes, and he has to flee into the wild (wearing a furry coat to keep himself warm) to prevent everyone who sees him [[DieLaughing laughing themselves to death]] over the sight of his Big Foot.

* "Jellycat", a popular British plush company, have Bigfoot and Yeti stuffed animals named Bo Bigfoot and Yani Yeti respectfully.

* ''Sasquatch Sunset'', starring Creator/JesseEisenberg and Creator/RileyKeough, is a sort of nature {{Mockumentary}} depicting the daily lives of a family of the creatures.

* ''Snowman'' is a 1978 short horror novel by Norman Bogner, and is part of the "Jaws Ripoff" horror paperback craze that was ongoing at the time. It portrays the Yeti as a ''25ft tall'' primeval killing machine with a skin so covered in rocky osteoderms under its fur that it's practically invulnerable -- in fact, some reviewers have suggested it may have been the physical inspiration for the ''ComicBook/Superman'' villain Doomsday. The ExcusePlot has it leave Tibet in search of fresh food, and somehow end up in a ''California ski resort'', where a famous explorer who was the only man in his party to survive an encounter with the beast tries to kill it. It was popular enough to get mentioned in ''Literature/PaperBacksFromHell''.

* ''VideoGame/FarCry4'', appropriately for a game set in the Himalayas, includes Yeti appearances. PlayerCharacter Ajay Ghale first spots what appears to be a Yeti after escaping from [[HellholePrison Durgesh Prison]], but faints before it comes close enough for him to check it out. In the DLC mission, "Valley of the Yetis", you get to see them up close, and they're terrifying- gigantic, grey-furred monsters with [[BodyHorror creepy orange scarring on their bodies]] [[MadeOfIron who are unbelievably durable against heavy weaponry]] and can [[LightningBruiser sprint fast enough to catch Ajay on his snowmobile]] if he doesn't get out of dodge fast enough. Also, the Yetis [[NoBodyLeftBehind dissolve into orange mist if you kill one.]] We later learn the origin of these Yetis, and that's just as creepy: [[spoiler:the Yetis are former humans mutated by the gas/spores emerging from this creepy [[FantasticFlora glowing yellow tree]] called "the Relic", and Ajay comes across a ReligionOfEvil dedicated to sacrificing people to the Yetis/becoming more Yetis, which they call "Awakened". Eventually, Ajay decides to destroy the Relic himself... only to be treated to a MindScrew sequence where he appears to have [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie turned into a Yeti himself]]. Luckily, the writers confirmed that the DLC ending doesn't count as canon, so chances are Ajay just hallucinated becoming a Yeti, because the game continues as normal afterwards. Still, though...]]

* ''WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiraciesAliensMythsAndLegends'' is a show which posits that most of the monsters of human myth are actually different species of aliens living in the hidden corners of the Earth. The Yeti are portrayed as one of the more benevolent groups. Their leader is named Tiyet. A later episode introduces the Sasquatch, who are a closely related species with brown fur and no horns. Traditionally, the two races do not get along. [[spoiler:The Sasquatch were all but wiped out when their guardian Su-Ak betrayed Ti-Yet in a [[GreenEyedMonster fit of jealousy]], which then backfired and left Su-Ak the LastOfHisKind. He later [[DrivenToSuicide kills himself]] out of grief and leaves his species presumably extinct]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', the [[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan Bionic Man]] has fled into the forest and falls in love with Sasquatch. He and Brock shave Sasquatch to get past an Army roadblock (with the Bionic Man [[RefugeInAudacity disguising himself by wearing the shaved Sasquatch fur]]), passing him off as a landmine victim. Another soldier arrives too late to accurately identify him as a shaved Sasquatch. In a later episode, Brock stays for a while at their house.

** One of Ben’s alien forms is Shocksquatch, a Bigfoot-esque alien with electricity powers and [[CanadaEh a hilarious Canadian accent]].

* Cryptozoologists frequently cite Native American folklore as "evidence" that Bigfoot actually exists, pointing to the ubiquitous stories of hulking, hairy-covered humanoids who live in the wilderness. Names like Dzunukwa, Ts'emekwe, Mayak Datat, Nantinaq, and Sasq'ets (the last being where we get "Sasquatch") frequently pop up as "examples" of Native American names for Bigfoot, but closer inspection makes it clear these stories are less about wild apes and actually involve supernatural boogeymen more akin to European trolls, ogres, and giants - intelligent, social beings that speak, use fire and weapons, live in huts, kidnap women, eat naughty children, and get outsmarted by brave heroes. Understandably, many Native Americans today find this misrepresentation of their beliefs quite annoying; it would be like claiming [[Literature/TheBible Goliath]] and Myth/BabaYaga are evidence for an unknown European species of ape. WebVideo/TreyTheExplainer has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zJhJsdoTYQ a very comprehensive video essay on this topic.]]

* Bigfoot and the Yeti aren't the only ape-men. Dozens of other species of Sasquatch-like creatures have been reported in nearly every part of the globe, including the Neanderthal-like Almas of Mongolia, the mysterious Kala Bandar of New Delhi in India, the diminutive Orang Pendek of Sumatra, [[YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy the Australian Yowie,]] the gigantic Orang Mawas of Malaysia, the Japanese Hibagon, and an eerie-looking monkey-like biped shot in South America known simply as De Loy's Ape.

* West Virginian folklore describes a giant, shaggy and horned, forest-dwelling quadruped called the Sheepsquatch.

* Despite cryptozoology's tendency to cite Native American folklore as "evidence" that Bigfoot actually exists, genuine Native stories tend to depict these creatures as intelligent, social beings that speak, use fire and weapons, and raid villages to steal food and women. Really, they're more like European legends of trolls or ogres than accounts of wild apes.

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': In "A Boy and his Yeti", the Yellow Gulch Yeti allegedly wrecks the Lemming Scouts campsite which led them trying to look for him.

** Wampas, native to the ice world of Hoth, are aggressive animalistic predators resembling horned yetis. One captures Luke with the intention of eating him, and [[AnArmAndALeg loses an arm for it]]. In the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' novel ''[[Literature/TheCallistaTrilogy Darksaber]]'', he returns to Hoth and ends up meeting that same Wampa (along with a whole pack of its fellows), actually killing it this time.

* ''Literature/{{Devolution}}'': After the eruption of Mt. Rainier, Sasquatches are displaced and come across a rural settlement called Greenloop, and they immediately start to kill the locals, due to starving from losing their normal food sources.

* ''Film/LettersFromTheBigMan'' stars Creator/LilyRabe as a reckless Forest Service worker who strikes up a friendship with a Sasquatch while surveying [[SceneryPorn the serene wilderness of southwest Oregon]]. [[NotUsingTheZWord The Big Man]]'s costume is one of the finest ever filmed and has to be seen to be believed.

Art/NorthAmericaPortraitOfAContinent: Bigfoot strikes his iconic pose in northern California.

* "Series/HowIMetYourMother" has Marshall fascinated/fearful of Bigfoot and hallucinates spotting him having a smoke break in one episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/SummerCampIsland'': Both yetis and sasquatches are residents of the titular island. The yetis communicate through trumpet and saxophone-like noises and do gymnastics when the weather gets stormy. The sasquatches run a monastery where they make the most delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and those entering their monastery must surrender their voices to respect the monks' vow of silence.

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots'': In one episode, Cody and the Bots embark on a mission to prove the existence of the Maine Ridge Monster, a sasquatch-like creature said to haunt their home of Griffin Rock. [[spoiler: They find the monster, only to later discover it's actually the Mayor who became addicted to some deadly synthetic food that caused its consumers to transform into hulking yeti-like werebeasts when exposed to moonlight. Cody's brother Graham is also revealed to be under the effects of the synthetic food as shown in a somewhat hard to watch transformation sequence.]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'', the undead champion Terminus was given the Abominable skin for the Christmas 2018 event. The [[https://twitter.com/PaladinsGame/status/1068195874684182528 Abominable skin]] turns Terminus into a big, [[DropTheHammer hammer-wielding]] yeti who hates how [[FaceOfAThug everyone thinks he's mean ol' brute when he is really a nice guy]].

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': In "A Boy and his Yeti", The Yellow Gulch Yeti allegedly wrecks the Lemming Scouts campsite which led them trying to look for him.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfSasquatch'': A 2006 computer-animated film featuring humans meeting friendly Bigfoot, and protecting them from a dam that will cause their valley home to flood.

* ''[[FrancoBelgianComics Jeannette Pointu]]'' has a whole album devoted to the Yeren. The photo journalist roam the globe and pursue various clues related to the legend of the Yeren. This lead her to China where she meets a Chinese scientist. According to his findings, the Yeren isn't a primate, but a new unknown specie of human, albeit covered with red fur. Jeannette gets lost in the Chinese forest and end-up meeting a family of four Yerens. It doesn't take long for a poacher and Jeannette's archnemesis to show up. The adult male Yeren lure the poacher in [[QuicksandSucks a quicksand]], sacrifincing himself to save his family.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts 2}}'': One of the unfinished exhibits at the Questionable Area (an abandoned tourist trap that forms part of the HubLevel) is the "Lair of the Sassclops", a cave purportedly once the home of a half-cyclops, half-Sasquatch monster.

* ''Bigfoot'' (previously ''Finding Bigfoot'' until the name was changed to avoid copyright confusion with the ''Creator/AnimalPlanet'' tv show of the same name) is a ''Rake''-inspired early-access UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} game that has a team of hunters looking for and capturing Bigfoot in a national [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherRainforest rain forest]] park after several tourists go missing. Your team finds the tourists, or rather their corpses, and unlike the show you and your team does find Bigfoot...and it's ''pissed''. A humongous beast half as wide as it's tall with glowing green eyes and [[AlienBlood blood]] and will attack any player on sight and worse it likes to use hit and run tactics to keep its hefty mass of hit points up. You aren't safe in the command van because Bigfoot can and will try to kill you through the windows you left open.

* "Big Guy" of ''Series/{{Sanctuary}}'' is of the Bigfoot abnormal classification.
