* {{Parody}}: Oswald appears in a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch alongside Weenie and Daisy. In it, Oswald (voiced by Fred Savage reprising his role) is about to put on his lifejacket, only for Daisy to call out the fact that as an octopus, he is fully capable of swimming, and to prove it, shoves him off the boat. He ends up drowning, much to Daisy's dismay.
