* The 1986 ''TwilightZone'' has '''the''' most awesomely absurd theory on Elvis - he was a wannabe lame easy-listening singer who was replaced by a high-quality time traveling impersonator after accidentally killing him. Elvis is not dead simply because he never actually existed, just the music: the result of a StableTimeLoop.

* ''GoodOmens'' holds him to be working at a Burger Lord in Des Moines, Iowa. Death himself confirms that he's alive, as stated in the page quote.

* ''GoodOmens'' holds him has a BrickJoke to be this effect.
** First, a tabloid is described by saying that a typical issue would "tell the world how Jesus' face was seen on a Big Mac bun bought by someone from Des Moines, with an artist's impression of the bun; how Elvis Presley was recently sighted
working at in a Burger Lord in Des Moines, Iowa. Death himself confirms Moines; how listening to Elvis records cured a Des Moines housewife's cancer; how the spate of werewolves infesting the Midwest are the offspring of noble pioneer women raped by Bigfoot; and that Elvis was taken by Space Aliens in 1976 because he was too good for this world." There's a [[FootnoteFever footnote]] saying, "Remarkably, one of these stories is indeed true."
** Shortly after, there's a scene set in a Burger Lord in Des Moines. The Burger Lord exec who's inspecting it (who happens to be [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Famine]]) makes a mental note to fire the cook, because
he's alive, as stated singing "Love Me Tender" to himself and it's clashing with the franchise-mandated canned music.
** Finally, there's a scene
in which a mysterious stranger is playing an arcade trivia game. The stranger reveals himself to be [[AC:DEATH]] when the trivia game asks him "What year did Elvis Presley die in?" and he refuses to answer, saying the page quote.

* [[H2G2/MostlyHarmless Mostly Harmless]] has an unnamed character living in 'The Domain of the King', singing in a bar and grill on an alien planet. In case you somehow miss the subtle references, Ford Prefect pays him to sing 'Love Me Tender', makes mentions of 'the colonel' being his former manager, and buys himself a pair of blue suede shoes as soon as he hits Earth.
