* VideoGame/ClayFighter''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'' has several [[TakeThat take thats]] to the game, [[TakeThatTitForTat done in response to the "Worm Kong" mask featured in the Sega CD version of the game resembling Donkey Kong with an arrow in his head]]:
** At the end of the game, when Diddy is ranked in Cranky's Video Game Heroes alongside [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, Yoshi]], and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], Earthworm Jim's gun can be seen next to a trash can that says "No Hopers", along with Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog's red sneakers.
** In the "Swanky's Bonus Bonanza" mini-game, one of the incorrect answers to the "What is the first enemy you encounter in the game?" question is "C. An ugly earthworm".
** If you look closely on [[https://twitter.com/dkvine/status/1251140177441050625 Wrinkly's promotional image]], the second page on her book is a recipe for "Grammy's Worm Pie", which says "Take one ugly worm, squash it underfoot, half-bake in oven. Add groovy gravy. Don't expect to sell many, as worms are very unpopular."

* ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'': Earthworm Jim appears in "[[Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid Diary of a Wimpy]] VideoGame/KidIcarus" as a student at Video Game School.
* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': A sketch from "May Cause Episode Title to Cut Off Due to Word Lim" has Earthworm Jim battle Evil Jim. When Jim finds that he and Evil Jim are evenly matched, Jim [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cuts himself in half]] in an unsuccessful attempt to make a second body. Evil Jim tells Jim that cutting Earthworms in half to make two of them is just a myth, then shoots him in the head. Jim's lower half then unsuccessfully tries to run away, to which Evil Jim says makes zero sense.
