* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "Written in the Stars", Jones in researching astronomy as background to the case. He uses the opportunity to tell Barnaby "Did you know Uranus is 14 times larger than the Earth?".

--->'''AL 5000:'''You'll have to return to your sleeping chambers. Resuscitation isn't scheduled until we're close to Pluto.\\

'''Jay:''' Uranus. I said it again, Randal.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Bart Simpson's Guide to Life]]'' can't resist making this joke ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' times.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManV'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoy features the Stardroid Uranus, which is a bull, of all things. Unintentionally related, the weapon you get from him is the [[AnalProbing Deep Digger]]. Possibly unintentional, since being a Japanese game, the developers perhaps didn't catch the innuendo.

** In the UsefulNotes/MagnavoxOdyssey episode, he talks a little about the game ''Analogic''. He pronounces the title as "Anal-logic", and guesses that the planets the players start on are named Uranus and Myanus.

** Which also goes with the [[EpilepticTrees theory]] that ET is a movie about overcoming one's [[UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud anal phase]].
** Or saying that he [[AssPull pulled the idea out of his ass]].

* In ''[[VideoGame/Bubsy3D'', Bubsy's first words are, "I knew I should have taken that left turn at Uranus."

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Bubsy}} Bubsy 3D]]'', Bubsy's first words are, "I knew I should have taken that left turn at Uranus."

* ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica: [[ComicBook/DCOneMillion One Million]]'' features Starman from the 853rd century in the present day, and he proclaims himself as the protector of Uranus. Flash chuckles, while Green Lantern chimes in saying "Uranus" stopped being a funny word after the fourth grade.

* The pictured example from ''Webcomic/MoonSticks''. In context: first Sailor Uranus made fun of Sailor Star Maker for her Star Gentle Uterus attack. Maker went on to state that this was one of the things that separated the Sailor Starlights from the regular Senshi: they wouldn't [[HehHehYouSaidX stoop low enough to get a laugh at something like this]]. Cue Healer making fun of Uranus. The author also linked an alternate version where Star Fighter was the one laughing at the end.

* Spaff did a parody of "Tomorrow" from ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'' called [[http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1269 "Uranus"]] that's just loaded with double entendres -- most of which are astronomically accurate!

* ''VideoGame/Starfield'' has a random space encounter where another spacefarer asks if you "know the way to Uranus". As if to escape consequences of his cliche joke, he immediately [[FasterThanLightTravel Grav-jumps]] out.

* In ''[[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton]] and the Planet of Lesbians'', our hero talks of having sailed the canals of Mars, [[{{Pun}} tossed the rings]] of Saturn and "battled the [[Gasshole}} foul stench]] of Uranus."

* In ''[[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton]] and the Planet of Lesbians'', our hero talks of having sailed the canals of Mars, [[{{Pun}} tossed the rings]] of Saturn and "battled the foul stench of Uranus."

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' you can visit Uranus. If you launch a probe at it, EDI says, "''[[DevelopersForesight Really]]''[[DevelopersForesight , Commander?]]" If you do it again, she says, resigned, "[[AnalProbing Probing Uranus]]." None of your missions in the game take you to the Sol System, though, and Uranus is very poor in resources. If you probe Uranus, it is thus unlikely to be for practical reasons, and typically requires going out of your way to do so.[[note]]But we're not here to discuss your masturbatory habits, we're here to list examples for this trope.[[/note]]

{{Subtrope}} of HehHehYouSaidX, JokeOfTheButt, InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike, and UnfortunateNames. See also PlutoIsExpendable for a trope about a (former) planet that gets no respect.

** The episode featuring ''Film/TheSkydivers'' begins with Tom Servo trying to give a planetarium exhibition, but Crow ruins it by constantly cracking Uranus jokes, complete with the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' joke above.

--> '''Ismene.''' Today is dedicated to Uranus!\\
'''Crow.''' Why, thank you, I'm fla -- Wha?\\
'''Tom Servo.''' Can I keep my thong on?\\
'''Crow.''' Everybody bow down and praise Hercules' a--\\
'''Joel.''' That's not what they meant.\\
'''Crow.''' But that's what she said.

** The subject of oneprize winner. Parent is doing planet names with kid. Gets to Uranus. Kid keeps replying "my anus".

* A OncePerEpisode RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/StickinAround'', courtesy of Bradley, who absolutely loves making this joke and will shoehorn it into nearly any situation, to Stacy's endless frustration ("Real mature, Bradley!"). And yes, you can always guarantee the joke to appear whenever the kids are imagining themselves in a situation involving outer space of extraterrestrials.

* The bathroom of a few Jimmy Johns restaurants has a subversion: One of the tiles on the floor reads "Interesting Facts about Uranus", in which it discusses [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin facts about the actual planet.]] See it [[http://imgur.com/gallery/TjsQxcW here]].

* For some time the accepted term for homosexuals was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranian_(sexology) "Uranian"]] after Aphrodite Urania, sometimes said to have been born from male semen with no female participation. It was popularized by the 19th century sexologist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Heinrich_Ulrichs Karl Heinrich Ulrichs]], known as "the first gay man in world history" (as in, one who actually based his identity on his homosexual orientation as opposed to just performing homosexual acts).
