* As a game popular in The80s featuring dungeon-crawling, ancient ruins, booby traps, and magical artifacts, TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons has featured many Indiana Jones homages, nods, and just plain knock-offs over the decades.
** TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsFifthEdition has a background called “Archaeologist” for building {{PC}}s based on Indy. You can start with a whip, hat, or medallion among your gear, having a fear of [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes “a common wild animal”]] is a possible flaw, and “That artifact [[ItBelongsInAMuseum belongs in a museum]]!” is an option for a bond.

* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': In "[[Recap/MollyOfDenaliS1E34PuppyPalooza Puppy Palooza]]," Molly and Trini are in the middle of acting out their own Indiana Jones type game when Tooey interrupts them to remind them they've got a path through the mud to help him build. Even the music in the scene sounds like a parody of the Indiana Jones soundtrack.

* Several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', inevitably starring Numbuh Five, were designed as {{Whole Plot Reference}}s of the ''Indiana Jones'' films. These famously introduced her ArchEnemy [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Heinrich von Marzipan]] (though [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness the first one]] features the Delightful Children Down the Lane as the villains); when the showrunners ran out of Indy movies to parody, they switched to ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' instead.

One such parody sprang up among screenwriters when movie titans Creator/StevenSpielberg and Creator/GeorgeLucas teamed up to create the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' franchise. Specifically ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', the most easily recognizable and famous film of the franchise and the trope namer, has since become a stock parody due to its ubiquity amongst pop culture.

* A plot, if said parody goes beyond the iconic scenes in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', or ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', that tends to get pretty crazy and ridiculously over-the-top.
