11	[[AC:Film - Live-Action]]
12	* ''Film/CityHunterTheCupidsPerfume'': The "fashion police detective" at the gala is a dead ringer for WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget. He even introduces himself with the first words of the French theme song for the show.
13	[[AC:WebVideo]]
14	* At the end of his review of ''Kid Kool'', ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' shows a [[FictionalVideoGame fictional]] Platform/SegaGenesis [[FictionalVideoGame game]] called ''Dr. Claw's Dump N' Pump". The game's artwork depicts Dr. Claw plunging a toilet.
15	* Creator/MikeMatei did a StylisticSuck-laden video for AprilFoolsDay called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZcW8wmmo4 Minecraft with Gadget]], where he discussed ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' with a [[RogerRabbitEffect cartoon Gadget]]. (For the longest time he considered it an OldShame and would take down any fan reuploads of it.)
16	* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' has reviewed [[Film/InspectorGadget1999 the live-action film adaptation]], as well as ''Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas''.
17	* The aforementioned "Minecraft with Gadget" video, in turn, led to Music/SiIvaGunner doing an event in 2017 where Gadget took over the channel and most if not all of the rips uploaded were of the ''Inspector Gadget'' theme. A year later, something like this happened again, only Gadget was now aided by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic (after about a week, Gadget left and let NC take free rein of the channel).

19	[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
20	* In several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace'', Dennis, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Captain or Margaret hums the ''Inspector Gadget'' theme song. This should come as no surprise, since both cartoons were created by Creator/DiCEntertainment.
21	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
22	** In "And then There Were Fewer", while dressed in a suit of knights' armor, Peter says "Go-go gadget skis!" before he tumbles down the stairs.
23	** In "Bigfat", Inspector Gadget appears talking to Susanne, admitting he's fathering a son with a different woman.
24	** In "Heart Burn", the ''Inspector Gadget'' theme song plays as the sex scene music added in post-production in the ''Film/FatalAttraction'' story.
25	* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' has parodied ''Inspector Gadget'' many times. In these sketches, Creator/CreeSummer and Creator/FrankWelker reprised their roles as Penny Gadget and Dr. Claw, respectively:
26	** A sketch from "Easter Basket" has Inspector Gadget engage in intercourse with a hooker.
27	** A sketch from "Adoption's an Option" features Inspector Gadget becoming a ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}''-esque killing machine controlled by Dr. Claw thanks to installing an upgrade from Cyberdyne.
28	** A sketch from "Executed by the State" features Inspector Gadget as a stripper.
29	** A sketch from "Choked on a Bottle Cap" features MAD Cat [[UrineTrouble peeing on Dr. Claw's chair]] [[TheDogBitesBack as revenge for all the times Dr. Claw mistreated him]].
30	** A sketch from "Rebel Appliance" features Dr. Claw calling Tom for his wi-fi password after he gets disconnected from his network.
31	** A sketch from "Legion of Super Gyros" has Nev Schulman of ''Series/{{Catfish}}'' fame setting Dr. Claw and Inspector Gadget up with each other.
32	** A sketch from "Triple Hot Dog Sandwich on Wheat" features Chief Quimby reprogramming Inspector Gadget to use him as a weapon for the US army. Meanwhile, Dr. Claw makes an honest living selling herbal supplements.
33	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'': Peter, Ray, and Winston whistle the theme song in "The Grundel" after Janine gives Egon a SnubByOmission.
34	* ''WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs'': Inspector Gadget makes [[TheCameo a brief cameo appearance]] in "The Big Payoff", where the heroes spot him in the middle of the road and almost run him over, just barely missing him by an inch. As they pass him, Needham, the leader of the team, tells Gadget that [[BreakingTheFourthWall he's in the wrong show]].
35	* ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'' has an episode named "Go, Gadget, Go", after some lyrics from the ''Inspector Gadget'' theme song.
