* ''Film/AClockworkOrange'': Perhaps the most infamous deconstruction of this song-and-dance number. Alex sings and dances the song while beating up an author and raping his wife. The SoundtrackDissonance of this scene has caused a PopCulturalOsmosis among some viewers. Gene Kelly was angry by his usage and refused to shake hands with Malcolm [=McDowell=] , because Creator/StanleyKubrick never paid him for the song. Alex singing "Singin' In The Rain" is also not present [[Literature/AClockworkOrange in the original novel]].

* ''AustinPowers'' does the routine in the ''Goldmember'' opening titles.

The SoundtrackDissonance of this scene has caused a PopCulturalOsmosis among some viewers. Gene Kelly was pissed by his usage and refused to shake hands with Malcolm [=McDowell=] , because Creator/StanleyKubrick never paid him for the song.

* This is done with Jimmy Five, among several other stock movie parodies, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVM8ZLNcqv4 the opening sequence]] to the ''MonicasGang'' movie ''Cinegibi''. The joke is that the following scene shows Jimmy with a cold.

* ''Film/AClockworkOrange'': Perhaps the most infamous deconstruction of this song-and-dance number. Alex sings and dances the song while beating up an author and raping his wife. The SoundtrackDissonance of this scene has caused a PopCulturalOsmosis among some viewers. Even actor Gene Kelly refused to shake hands with Creator/AnthonyBurgess when he met the author because of this scene. (To be fair, the scene was an invention of Creator/StanleyKubrick and is not present in the original novel.)

* ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales}}'': Doofus sings a song titled ''"Eatin' in the Rain"'', based on ''"Singin' in the Rain"''.

* When Seann William Scott hosted ''SaturdayNightLive'', he tried in [[http://snltranscripts.jt.org/01/01bmono.phtml his monologue]] to say "[[NeverLiveItDown there's more to me then just]] [[UrineTrouble getting peed on]]. Yeah yeah, or [[IAteWhat drinking a beer that has some guy's sperm in it.]]" referring to infamous moments of the first two ''Film/AmericanPie''. So there's three of his ancestors in the film business facing similar beer situations, including a ''Singin' in the Rain'' spoof with him singing "There's semen in the beer..."

--> 'Must be off is nut, if you ask me,' said Nobby. 'Singing in the rain like that.'

* WesternAnimation/{{Paddington}} does this in the 1980 special ''Paddington Goes to the Movies''.

* Being a JukeboxMusical show in which showtunes are extremely prominent, it's not surprising that even ''Series/{{Glee}}'' did [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnDrfyol29Q its own take on the iconic tune]], combining it with "[[Music/{{Rihanna}} Umbrella]]" to represent Will and New Directions (represented by SpecialGuest GwnethPaltrow as Holly Holiday) coming together at the end of "The Substitute".

* Literature/PaddingtonBear does this in the 1980 special ''Paddington Goes to the Movies''.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' episode "Doug's Dog's Date", Porkchop performs the dance in the rain on his way home after his date.

* While a somewhat different melody, the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cexO84_6JY "Slippin' On the Ice"]] in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' is clearly meant to parody this song.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Asterix}}'': In Recap/AsterixAndTheMagicCarpet Cacofonix makes the sky rain by singing this song.

* There's a brief (and pretty funny) parody called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cexO84_6JY "Slippin' On the Ice"]] in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.

A StockParody in the {{Musical}} and {{Comedy}} genre. [[HappyRain Whenever it starts raining you may rest assured that someone will begin to sing and dance around]], often in the vicinity of a street and a lantarn post, on which he will swing himself around. Always a ShoutOut to Creator/GeneKelly in his iconic sing and dance number in ''Film/SinginInTheRain (1952)'', even though the song itself is much older and was used in other Hollywood musicals before, though not quite as memorable.

* Magazine/MadMagazine: A Don Martin gag has a character waiting for the bus when it suddenly starts raining. When begins to sing and dance "I'm Singing In The Rain" [[spoiler: but it turns out it's not rain, but a bunch of people on a roof holding their annual spitting contest. One guy informs us: "I haven't got the heart to tell him."]]

Eventually he gave in and sang it backstage.
** When Rich Little was a guest in 1978 he performed the song- in raincoats- along with Fozzie Bear.
