* ''Literature/TheFutureIsWild'' concludes one episode on desert steppelands in North America with the narrator saying "Frezing winds, blinding duststorms. In five million years' time, this certainly doesn't look like Kansas anymore." The kicker is the episode ''[[DontExplainTheJoke actually is in Kansas itself]]'' (if not central North America), right down to the episode in question being called "Cold Kansas Desert".

* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. The episode where the protagonist John Crichton finally gets back to Earth is called "Kansas" even though it takes place in Florida, due to the symbolic and InUniverse references to ''The Wizard of Oz'' in the series.

* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': The TropeNamer. As Dorothy, who is originally from Kansas, sets foot for the first time into the colorful and MagicalLand of Oz with her dog Toto, the quote given above (the original) is something of an understatement. When Glinda shows up in her magic bubble, this only confirms things for her: "Now I ''know'' we're not in Kansas!"

* ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': One of the standout episodes of the entire series, Season 7's "Cool Hands, Bo and Luke," has that episode's villian, Col. Claubourne (a man who was seeking to destroy avowed enemy Boss Hogg) give the Duke boys a dressing down before telling them, "You're not in Hazzard anymore!" ... implying that, unlike Hazzard County's lax law enforcement, the Osage County Sheriff's Department is effective in upholding the law and will work quickly to deter lawbreaking, and that things will be much different from now on. (Of course, that's Claybourne being a hypocryte ... he's the top lawbreaker in the county.)

* Webcomic/KarateBears are [[http://www.karatebears.com/2012/01/are-there-cities-in-kansas.html not in kansas any more.]]

* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' does this [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/949.html here]], complete with a hilarious TakeThat at the Kansas Board of Education
* In ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/10/17/not-for-internal-use/ Nin Wah has her own take on the classic quote.]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE_OLPEN5vU Not in Kansas Anymore: a supercut]]", a montage of not-in-Kansas moments from 58 films and television series.

->''"Where are we?" Asked the Black Knight in ''[[ComicBook/TheInfinityCrusade Infinity Crusade]]'' #1. "Don't look like Kansas to me, Toto," replied Multiple Man. Marvel writers take note: I hereby swear I will hunt down and kill the next one of you who quotes that hackneyed line from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz.

->''In ''Thor Corps'' #1, Thunderstrike said, "There's an old cliche about not being in Kansas anymore that's too corny for even me to use!" Whew. Close call... that was written by [[Creator/TomDeFalco the Chief himself]].''
-->-- ''Marvel Year in Review 1993''

* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'': In the Japanese script for ''Minna de Puyo Puyo'', Arle references the quote in the prologue, rephrasing it as "I don't think we're in Kansai anymore".

* In crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/{{Displaced}}'', Spider-Man paraphrases the line when he gets abruptly teletransported from Marvel's New York to DC's Gotham.

* ''Anime/InuYasha'': In the English dub, Kagome says something to this effect (actually mentioning Kansas) after she climbs out of the Bone Eater's Well. She's talking to herself, however.

* Variant: ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', when Ralph and Vanellope make the jump from the arcade's Wi-Fi router to an Internet portal:
-->'''Ralph:''' Kid, I don't think we're in Litwak's anymore.\\
'''Vanellope:''' We most certainly are not, friendo.

A StockPhrase referencing ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', used to express the realization that the character is in a [[FishOutOfWater completely unfamiliar]] ([[DownTheRabbitHole or indeed otherwordly]]) place.

The [[BeamMeUpScotty original quote]] was "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." But it is sometimes [[BeamMeUpScotty misquoted]] as "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto."

* Literature/TheFutureIsWild concludes one episode on desert steppelands in North America with the narrator saying "Frezing winds, blinding duststorms. In five million years' time, this certainly doesn't look like Kansas anymore.". The kicker is the episode ''[[DontExplainTheJoke actually is in Kansas itself]]'', right down to the episode in question being called "Cold Kansas Desert".

%%* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'':

If the characters have actually found themselves in a parody or plot reference to ''The Wizard of Oz'', then they're OffToSeeTheWizard.
