* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' parody of ''Film/TheSeventhSeal'', Death challenges the Warner siblings to a game of chess, but they don't know how to play it, so he settles for checkers instead. Dot eagerly asks if he has Uncle Wiggily or Candy Land, but being TheGrimReaper, he doesn't.
* Played by Larry and Alfred in the ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' episode "Larry-Boy and the Fib From Outer Space". Larry is stuck in the Molasses Swamp for at least 38 turns as Alfred is able to immediately advance all the way to Princess Lolly. (Amusingly, this almost certainly means Larry was originally ''ahead'' of Alfred.)

Added DiffLines:

[[AC:ComicStrips]]
* ''ComicStrip/BabyBlues'' pointed out that the game's Luck-Based Mission characteristics make it as hard to deliberately ''lose'' (i.e., to let a small child win) as it is to aspire to win yourself.
* A ''ComicStrip/GetFuzzy'' comic had Satchel using a "Candyland'' board in conjunction with a Ouija widget; and wondering why a ghost would pass through multiple dimensions to tell him "Gumdrop, Gumdrop, Lolly" when Bucky tells him he needs a Ouija board to make the widget work properly.

[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* Cory from ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' laments in one episode that he spent his Saturday night playing Candy Land with his sister, "and lost", as if losing a game of pure chance is more pathetic than winning it.
* Shown in the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode ''Parts: The Clonus Horror''.
* ''Series/NurseJackie'' has the main character playing the game with little girls and a boy in "Heading North".
* ''Series/That70sShow'' has Eric Forman stashing away money in a Candy Land box. It is later revealed that the gang hides a [[MarijuanaIsLSD different kind of stash]] in the same box.
* ''Series/XPlay'' reviewed the 2000 version of the game once...during a game drought.

[[AC:Music]]
* Music/KatyPerry's music video "California Gurls" was heavily based with this. Only HotterAndSexier.

[[AC:WebComic]]
* The webcomic ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' has ''Candy-Land Adventures'' appear in [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1453.php #1453]] and [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1460.php #1460]]. It transforms this game into an RPG like ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', complete with rolling dice, fighting monsters, and arguing about the rules. Roles include Peppermint Paladin and Rogue of Red Hots.

[[AC:WebVideo]]
* It is a RunningGag in ''WebVideo/BoardJames'' that Bad Luck Bootsy wants to play Candy Land (instead of whatever game the episode is about). [[spoiler: He briefly gets his wish in the Season 3 finale, currently the series finale... in rather dark and bloody circumstances.]]

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
