4* In the series finale of ''Anime/GlitterForceDokiDoki'', Rachel is said to own a copy of ''Pride and Prejudice''. This is a CulturalTranslation as the [[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure original Japanese version]] had her with a copy of the Hundred Poems.

13* ''Literature/BridgetJones Diaries'' references the plot and its characters, and some see it even as a {{whole plot reference}}. Mark Darcy is named after Mr Darcy.
14* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
15** ''Nanny Ogg's Cookbook'' claims that "It is a truth self evident that a man in possession of his own teeth, a decent pair of boots, a couple of acres of land and some pigs that need feeding must be in want of a wife".
16** Vimes's visit to the Gordon family in ''Literature/{{Snuff}}'' is an extended parody of the Bennets, with Vimes openly wondering why the daughters are all hanging around waiting for a husband rather than doing something ''useful''. (In marked contrast to Mrs. Bennet, Mrs Gordon strongly agrees with him.) The youngest sister is named Jane and is writing a novel about "the complexities of personal relationships". She shows every sign of being the Disc's counterpart to Austen herself, until Vimes convinces her to turn it into a crime thriller. The result: ''[[spoiler: Pride and Extreme Prejudice]]''.
17* Ibi Zoboi's ''Literature/{{Pride}}'' is a re-adaptation focusing on African-American teenagers in Brooklyn where the protagonist is named Zuri Benetiz and is of Dominican and Haitian descent and Fitzwilliam Darcy is renamed "Darius Darcy" and is a member of a wealthy family who moves into the fast gentrifying neighborhood of Bushwick.
18* Pem from ''Literature/TheMermaidsMirror'' was named after Pemberley because one of her moms is an English teacher.
19* In ''Literature/AreYouSeeingMe'' Justine says that her boyfriend Marc could do with "a little less Bingley and a little more Darcy."
20* Nathan from ''Literature/IWishYouAllTheBest'' owns five worn-out copies of ''Pride and Prejudice'', in which he's highlighted passages and written notes in the margins.

24* In ''Series/RedDwarf'', Christine Kochanski is a fan of the novel, and in one episode, they visit a computer generated version of P&P world. All the girls are silly and Mrs. Bennet actually behaves herself. The guys are pleased that all the girls seem horny...
25* George Wickham, a military officer and antagonist of the TV-only story ''Sharpe's Justice'' of ''Series/{{Sharpe}}'' series, shares a name with a character from ''Pride and Prejudice'', who is also a military officer and an antagonist. Given what happens to the ''Sharpe'' version of the character, the episode might be considered a RevengeFic.
26* Sheldon, in ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', surprises his friends by declaring the book to be "a flawless masterpiece."
27* A season 2 episode of ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'' revolves around Jane teaching the book to an introductory level college class and loosely adapts the plot.
28* ''Series/VeronicaMars'':
29** In the second season episode "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang", Jackie goes off on the novel (and Creator/JaneAusten in general), saying she can't relate to it at all, but admits she liked Creator/ColinFirth in the miniseries adaptation (which she, Veronica and their boyfriends watch).
30** Later that season, in the episode "The Rapes of Graff", Veronica goes to a college fraternity party, and when one of the guys there tries to pick her up, she spills his beer on them. When another student asks why she did that, Veronica jokes that the guy dissed ''Pride And Prejudice''. This is also possibly a TakeThatAudience, as many viewers were turned off by Jackie after her remarks about the book and Austen, which surprised the writers.

39* In ''Webcomic/BatmanWayneFamilyAdventures'', [[Characters/RobinDamianWayne Damian]] finds [[Characters/BatmanJasonTodd Jason]]'s copy of ''Pride and Prejudice'' and tries to blackmail him with it as a "girl book", Jason is entirely nonplussed since [[RealMenWearPink he thinks Austen is great]] and convinces Damian to read it instead.
40* ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'': Mr. Darcy's appeal to readers, and Creator/JaneAusten being annoyed with said readers who only want her to write more romance, is [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=120 lampooned]] [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=263 several]] times. Darcy acts as the comic's most frequent MrFanservice.

45* In "Creator/JaneAusten is My Home Girl (Series/DowntonAbbey Rap)" by Pretty Darn Funny mentions that Mr Bingley is [[TheCutie a cutie]] and Colin Firth (Mr Darcy from 1995 miniseries) is treated as the ultimate man of Jane Austen's fans' dreams.
46* ''WebVideo/KarolinaZebrowska'': Has a short sketch on the first chapter titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfTmEfBSLN0 if "Pride and Prejudice" was a podcast]]".
47* ''WebVideo/{{Numberphile}}'': In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcv1IqHWAzg "Stable Marriage Problem"]], the guest, Dr. Riehl, needed a group of 4 men and 4 women to explain her algorithm. So she named the women [[Literature/PrideAndPrejudice Charlotte, Elizabeth, Jane, and Lydia; and she names the men Bingley, Collins, Darcy, and Wickham.]] And she even sets up the problem so that they pair up the same way they do in the novel!

51* According to Star Sapphire in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'', she once encouraged her now ex-boyfriend [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]] to read ''Pride and Prejudice''. [[BookDumb He asked where the pictures where.]]
52* In episode "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Leela and Fry get trapped in several books, including ''Pride and Prejudice''. One Regency era girl flirts with Mr. Fry and tells him that he's quite an oddity, to be a bachelor at his age (he's in his early twenties). Then comes the arch-enemy of the episode, the Giant Brain aka Mr. Brainsley, and the ladies ask him about news from London without a wink. Leela gets an urge to get married as well and asks [[Literature/MobyDick Queequeg]] whether there is a Mrs. Queequeg.
53* The episode "Write Where It Hurts" of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' has Daria write a (later rejected) story that cross-references P&P and ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility.'' It depicts an unusually close and genteel Daria and Quinn (likely a Jane Bennett) being encountered by gentlemen on horseback (Trent and his friends), who run off at the slight mention of marriage, with the sisters just hugging one another.
