* The fourth episode of ''Series/{{Chockablock}}'' has Chockagirl record herself singing "The Rain in Spain". This is one of the few occasions where Chockablock doesn't mess up the recording by missing out words which fit the rhyme around which the episode is themed. Not only that, he and Chockagirl turn the whole thing into a duet, with Chockagirl singing Higgins's part while Chockablock sings Eliza's part.

* The ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "My Fair Goalie" is not only named after the musical, but Candace's plot line is a WholePlotReference to it. To drive this point home, Ferb's cousin (who isn't named after David Beckham) is named "Eliza".

* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': In "My So-Called Wife", Mr. Herriman tries to teach Coco how to act proper in order to pose as his wife for a fancy event, while Mac tries to teach Bloo to learn how to be sarcastic (or at least ''realize'' he's being sarcastic). When they succeed, they both exclaim "By George, I think you've got it!".
