* ReferencedBy: Both the original movie and the sequel crop up here and there...
** In the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' episode "Most Wanted", the main characters watch a trailer for ''Weekend at Bernie's Part 7'', featuring a visibly decaying Bernie and the tag-line: "Bernie's still dead, and he's stiffer than ever!"
** ''Weekend at Bernie's'' is [[Series/{{Friends}} Rachel Green]]'s favourite movie.
** It's also a favourite of the gang in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''...
*** One of Barney's 'plays' (tricks he uses to try and get laid) is based on the movie's premise, and he states at one point that in the event of his death he would like Ted and Marshall to take his body to the Hamptons and re-enact the movie.
*** In "How Lily Stole Christmas", Ted references the sequel as a means of insulting Lily's sense of humour.
----> '''Ted:''' Remember that time we heard her laughing, and we thought she was watching ''Weekend at Bernie's'', but it turned out she was watching ''Weekend at Bernie's II''!
*** There's even an episode in season 8 called "Weekend at Barney's".
** An episode of ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' (entitled "Weekend at Murdoch's") has Murdoch trying to catch an assassin by making it seem like one of his victims is still alive.
** In an episode of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', a character who needs to establish an alibi is too embarrassed to say which film he was watching at the time in question. The team assume he was watching porn, but he eventually admits that it was ''Weekend at Bernie's II''.
** In the ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode "The Comeback", Elaine rents the sequel on video after Kramer recommends it. She's not impressed, resorting to shouting at her TV while watching it.
---> '''Elaine:''' Bernie's dead, you morons!
** ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Weekend at Burnsie's" takes its title from the movie and shares the same premise; Homer and Smithers believe that Mr. Burns has died and try to make it appear that he's still alive. Turns out, he's merely unsconscious, not dead.
