* This was Officer Barbrady's CatchPhrase in the early seasons of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': "Move along, people. Nothing to see here. Go home, you looky-loos." He was even saying it during the Apocalypse in ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut''.
** In the episode where a HumanPopsicle was found and taken to Maphesto's laboratory, Officer Barbrady was using his CatchPhrase until someone asked him about said HumanPopsicle. Officer Barbrady then admitted there was something to see and stepped aside for the others to see.

* Invoked by Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt as police officers "Fish" and "Chips" respectively in the ''[[{{WesternAnimation/VeggieTales}} VeggieTales]]'' AffectionateParody ''[[SherlockHolmes Sheerluck Holmes]]''.

Mr. Lunt even shouts from off screen when Mr. Nezzer says his part.

* Parodied in ''Film/TheNakedGun'', where Frank Drebin tries to do this in front of an exploding fireworks factory.
** Also parodied earlier in the film - a police officer tries to direct a tiny (read: two people) crowd away from a pier like this. It's not working. Made all the funnier because he says "There's nothing to see here. Move along. Keep moving." all the time.
