History Main / ElvisHasLeftThePlanet

* Another Marvel example: in the final issue of ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', multiple characters who had been replaced by Skrulls were recovered and returned to Earth. And, yes, in a throw-away gag, Elvis was amongst them.

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Bubsy}} Bubsy 3D]]'', Bubsy leaves Rayon dressed as Elvis. The Woolie leader declares, "Bubsy has left the planet."

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' had Elvis standing in a space station overlooking Earth and insisting that his companion blow up the earth because ''Creator/MileyCyrus'' found out that ''Creator/{{Usher}}'' was her real father in lieu of ''Creator/BillyRayCyrus''. They happily oblige and [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up the earth with the press of a button.]] but don't rack your brain too hard about that one. After all ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext [[{{Lampshading}} as the narrator will gladly tell you.]]

Music/ElvisPresley's death shocked millions of people. Many of these were so shocked that, rather than simply believe he had died, they decided that something was up -- that he was {{faking|TheDead}}, like Music/RoyOrbison, or that he had been abducted by aliens, or that he ''was'' an alien himself, or any of a million different explanations. Today, we (or at least most of us) understand that Elvis is dead, but the media continues to utilize, poke fun at and abuse the general idea.

* ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy''

** The Quintessential Phase of [[Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy the radio series]] (which, unlike earlier Phases, was an adaptation of the book, rather than the other way around) adds, mostly as a throwaway gag, that another Elvis exists on the [[AlternateUniverse alternate Earth]] that replaced the "original" Earth of the series (destroyed way back in the initial ''Hitchhiker's Guide'' radio series), one who survived at least into the first decade of the 21st century and continued to record music, including an album of Music/{{Oasis}} covers. Thus, as far as the radio series is concerned, Elvis both '''has''' and '''has not''' left the planet (at least until the end of the series, when the alternate and all other Earths are simultaneously destroyed).

* In ''[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo-Tooie]]'', upon first encountering the LittleGreenMen inside their UFO, Kazooie asks them, "Are any of you called Elvis?" No, not this time.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* Magazine/ForteanTimes ran a main article which over six pages brought together all the stories that not only Elvis, but also '''Creator/{{Liberace}}''' had left the planet in an alien spacecraft. Apparently Space Liberace returned to play a gig somewhere in the backwoods of the USA.

* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': An In-Universe example with Blue Suede Heartstrings, [[NoCelebritesWereHarmed a Ponified version of Elvis]]. Because Blue Suede suddenly left Ponyland after his 'farewell' concert and didn't return for quite some time, multiple conspiracy theories popped up. One theory depicted him as [[HalfHumanHybrid a descendant of alien 'Visitors']] who returned to the planet of his ancestors.

* Elvis ''is'' dead in the Creator/StephenKing short story ''[[Literature/NightmaresAndDreamscapes You Know They Got a Hell of a Band]]''. He is, however, still on the planet in a small town called "Rock and Roll Heaven" off the beaten path, where he is mayor over a town full of dead musicians and a few hapless locals. Strangely, the residents - including Elvis himself - never get older, never die, and can never leave. [[spoiler:One wonders if Music/MichaelJackson gave him a run for his money in the last election.]]

* ''Series/RedDwarf''. When the crew cone across a derelict vessel in "DNA", Rimmer speculates that it's an alien vessel that's going to return Glenn Miller.
-->'''Rimmer:''' We don't want him! Go away! You took him, you can keep the smegger!

* Music/RayStevens' song ''I Saw Elvis in a UFO'' centers on the concept of Elvis' abduction.

* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' - Dracula has Music/TupacShakur, the real Music/PaulMcCartney, and the real Music/MichaelJackson on his moon base. Elvis is there, but Dracula laments, annoyed, that he [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p20 doesn't do shit.]] He also has UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, but he doesn't sing, and [[spoiler:Creator/BruceLee]], who [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower jumped to the moon]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vrW6yJaqnM An episode]] of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' had a network asking for a photo of Bigfoot ''with Elvis'', since Bigfoot pictures are so common that are worthless. As Jon walks away, lamenting on his failed photographer career, Elvis asks him what time it us... and only after he goes do Jon and his pets realise who it was.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' had Elvis standing in a space station overlooking Earth and insisting that his companion blow up the earth because ''Creator/MileyCyrus'' found out that ''Creator/{{Usher}}'' was her real father in lieu of ''Creator/BillyRayCyrus'' They happily oblige and [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up the earth with the press of a button.]] but don't rack your brain too hard about that one. After all ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext [[{{Lampshading}} as the narrator will gladly tell you.]]

* Implied in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''. While Jumba, one of the aliens looking for Stitch, hears Elvis' "Hound Dog", to his delight.
