The ''other'' [[TheGreys UFO]]: [[FunWithAcronyms Unidentifiable Furry Organisms.]]

Tall hairy humanoids who maintain a furtive existence in various remote corners of the world. "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch" are different names for essentially the same entity, whose (ahem) [[IncrediblyLamePun stomping grounds]] are mostly in the [[TheOtherRainforest northwestern corner]] of the United States and the southwestern corner of Canada. The "Yeti" or "Abominable Snowman" is a variety found high in the [[ShamgriLa Himalayan Mountains]], commonly depicted (whether due to associations with familiar Arctic animals like the polar bear, or just the "snowman" association) with white fur in fiction, although the local legends described it with red to brown hair. Other lesser known varieties turn up in world-wide folklore and history under an assortment of names, such as the "Skunk Ape" of the swamps of the ''[[DeepSouth southeastern]]'' United States.

Common characteristics are said to include an extreme [[GentleGiant shyness towards humans]], ([[NightmareFuel though reports and accounts of extraordinarily hostile encounters do exist]]) emitting horrible odors and unearthly noises, and of course scattering large footprints about as they [[{{Futurama}} frolic in out-of-focus areas]]. Most scientific authorities regard these creatures as either [[UrbanLegends entirely imaginary]] or the fabrications of human pranksters, but like [[StockNessMonster lake monsters]] and the {{Chupacabra}} and ''unlike'' "out-and-out" fictional species such as the {{Wendigo}} or TheJerseyDevil, BS&Y have devout believers in their existence. Often speculated to be akin to large, herbivorous hominids such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot#Gigantopithecus Gigantopithecus]]. More information on Bigfoot can be found at the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot Other Wiki]].

[[folder:Advertising]]
* "Jack Links" beef jerky has an ongoing commercial campaign centered around various humans deliberately annoying a Sasquatch and invariably [[BullyingADragon getting attacked as a result.]]
* A previous series of commercials for Pop-Tarts featured a yeti explaining how placing Pop-Tarts in the freezer made for a good summertime snack. Then the humans he was talking to would scream in fright, and then he would do the same. Example [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZDvKdSeVF0 here]].
--> "Listen to the Yeti! Kellog's Pop-Tarts! You can freeze 'em, then eat 'em!"
* Also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vz2nxdM0qc Tab Clear ad]], in which the Sasquatch is revealed to be [[WorldWarOne Kaiser Wilhelm II]], fallen from his zeppelin into the mud of Oregon. Suddenly everything is clear...
* A brand of iced coffee used Bigfoot for advertisements on TV and radio. One such ad mentioned that most witnesses saw Bigfoot between the hours of midnight to 3 am -- either because Bigfoot was raiding store fridges at night looking for iced coffee, or because most of the witnesses were drunk.
* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMfz3aCaGKo Kokanee]]'' beer commercials used to feature the sasquatch as a mascot.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' the character of Pantyhose Tarou fell into the magic Spring of the "Drowned Yeti, Riding a Bull and Carrying a Crane and an Eel" (don't ask us how ''that'' happened). It resulted in his transformation essentially being a shaggy [[ALoadOfBull Minotaur]] with an eel for a tail and crane wings. Later, he splashed water from the Spring of Drowned Octopus (again, don't ask us!) across his back and gained CombatTentacles.

[[folder:Comedy]]
* Comedian MitchHedberg {{lampshade|Hanging}}d the fact that photographers always seem to end up having blurry photographs of Bigfoot.
--> "I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is ''blurry''... and that's extra scary to me. Because there's a large, out-of-focus monster... roaming the countryside."

[[folder:Comicbooks]]
* ''Recap/TintinTintinInTibet'' features a Yeti. He [[ABoyAndhisX befriends Tintin's friend Chang]] after a tragic airplane accident in the Himalayas prompts Tintin to SendInTheSearchTeam.
* MarvelComics ''AlphaFlight'' features a team member called Sasquatch, who is more-or-less the legendary beast.
** Originally, he was a scientist who got hit by gamma radiation, just like the Comicbook/IncredibleHulk, but got orange fur instead of green skin. A [[DoingInTheScientist later retcon]] said he had inadvertently opened a gateway to the Realm of Great Beasts, giving him the power of a (fictional) First Nations demon.
*** And even more recently a small tribe of "actual" Sasquatches (Sasquatchii?) have been discovered, with the largest male being mistaken for a mindwiped Sasquatch (the superhero) and actually joining the team for a short time (until his [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]).
** Marvel also has several forms of Abominable Snowmen, ranging from an offshoot of the Inhumans to people under a magical curse.
** The ''ComicBook/{{X-Factor}}'' once encountered a group of trolls living under a bridge in England. During the battle Beast calls one a yeti and the troll takes offense on humans always calling them with names like that. He is a troll and proud of it.
* ''[=Proof=]'' is a comic book series about a Bigfoot paranormal investigator that is very similar to ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}''.

* In an issue of ''WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker'', Woody goes with his (niece and nephew?) over to Asia to film the abominable snowman. His camera is taken by a band of thieves using the legend of the snowman to scare people into giving them gift to appease them. [[spoiler:And then the real deal come along and scares the band away.]]
* In CarlBarks' [[Comicbook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck Uncle Scrooge]] story "The Lost Crown of Ghengis Khan", Scrooge [=McDuck=] has to recover the titular crown from the hoard of a treasure-loving abominable snowman.
** And ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics in general have kept on overusing both the Bigfoot and the Yeti versions, much like the StockNessMonster.
* In ''The Perhapanauts'', one of the main characters is an uplifted Sasquatch named Big, who is also the scientist of the team.
* There is a non-canon ''Franchise/StarWars''[=/=]''Franchise/IndianaJones'' crossover comic which features Indy and Shortround tracking Sasquatch in the north-west coast of North America. They come across a massive metal structure that had been there for hundreds of years, and Indy goes inside and sees the remains of a human: Han Solo. Han and Chewie had flown the Falcon into a wormhole and crash landed on Earth. Han was killed by Native Americans while Chewie survived and raged at them, creating legends of a massive furry ape-man. Indy notes an eerie feeling of deja vu when encountering Han's final resting place and he decides to stop the hunt for Sasquatch.
* In a ''Franchise/ThePinkPanther'' comic book, two tabloid reporters has PP mistaken for Bigfoot because [[IdiotPlot his foot is big due to being bandaged up]]. At the end, it turns out that PP knows the ''real'' Bigfoot personally, but the reporters leave before he gets the chance to tell them that.
* RobertCrumb wrote a series called ''Whiteman Meets Bigfoot'', in which his most famously uptight and square character was at least half in love with a hairy female monster. There's also the picture of a sexy(ish) bigfoot girl walking down a New York street.
* ''[[ComicBook/WynonnaEarp Wynonna Earp: The Yeti Wars]]'': When Wynonna and her team discover that the bad guys have a group of yeti working for them, they bring in a group of sasquatch to help combat them.

* Early in ''ComicBook/KingCity'' we're introduced to Lukashev, an old sasquatch that runs a spy hotel and used to be in a space program with a chupacabra and a time-traveling dinosaur. [[WorldOfWeirdness This should tell you a lot about the comic.]]
* Paradox Press's graphic anthology ''The Big Book of the Unexplained'' illustrates several stories featuring Sasquatch, including one about a prospector who was allegedly kidnapped and held captive by a family of the creatures, and one about "hairy humanoids'" possible connection with [=UFOs=] and aliens.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} and Max have a run-in with Bigfoot while out fishing.
-->'''Max:''' Dad, IT'S BIGFOOT!!!
-->'''Goofy:''' (holding a video camera in front of him) Could you scoot back a bit, Mr. Foot? You're out of focus.
* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' has a scene where the banished heroes meet their fellow exile, now known as the Abominable Snowman in Nepal. There's an offhand reference to Bigfoot, who was supposedly friends with the Yeti in the past, and was also banished (basically implying that [[AllMythsAreTrue every monster myth originated from the monster dimension]]). Nessie is mentioned as being an exiled monster as well.
** When this scene is redone for the closing credits of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', the Abominable Snowman is reimagined as a snowplow rather than a monster truck.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* The Yeti is one of the ''Film/SevenFacesOfDrLao''; among his jobs are pounding in circus-tent pegs and playing a steam organ.
* Also from the 70's is the classically bad film ''[=Snowbeast=]'', about a Bigfoot/Yeti/whatever eating [[MonsterMisogyny pretty young women]] at a Colorado ski resort (Crested Butte, according to IMDB) until he gets stabbed to death with a ski pole by Bo Svenson. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowbeast
* ''Film/HarryAndTheHendersons'' is about an American family who hits a Sasquatch with their car and brings him home. It was later a short-lived TV series.
* Several movies made for the Creator/SciFiChannel center around Sasquatches, usually turning the creature into a bloodthirsty killer.
** Of note is ''Abominable'', a.k.a. ''Film/RearWindow'' with [[RecycledINSPACE ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN]]!
** They often feature Lance Henriksen in them
* ''[[Film/TheMummyTrilogy The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor]]'' includes a sequence with heroic Yetis. They look more like humanoid cats. WordOfGod is that their design was based on snow leopards and polar bears, in order to give something more exotic than more typical depictions.
* A really strange movie called ''They Call Him Sasquatch'' features a group of unlikely people going to hunt for the aforementioned lifeform. No, they do not parody the theme from ''{{Flipper}}''.
* In ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'', Jables eats [[MushroomSamba psychotropic mushrooms]], and imagines he's Sasquatch's baby Sass.
* ''Film/TheLegendOfBoggyCreek'' is a documentary-style film which shows various dramatized events of people meeting a bigfoot-like Fouke Monster in Arkansas.
* ''Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon'' has a pack of Yetis hunting down and feeding on the survivors of a plane crash in the Himalayas.
* A group of students and their professor head off in search of a Yeti in ''Shriek of the Mutilated''. [[spoiler:It turns out there isn't one, and that the professor and his associates are cannibals who use the Yeti story to lure in victims]].
* Similar to the above, ''Night of the Demon'' had a professor taking his students into the woods in search of Bigfoot, who is for some reason depicted as a demonic entity.
* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob once reviewed a film called ''The Geek'', which was a bigfoot... porn. Why yes, it was made in TheSeventies, why do you ask?
* Bigfoot shows up in a deleted scene from ''Film/BruceAlmighty'', as another example of Bruce using his powers to boost his ratings. [[spoiler: Not content with finding Bigfoot, he goes skydiving, lets his parachute malfunction, and then survives by ''landing on Bigfoot.'']]
* ''Film/ClawedTheLegendOfSasquatch'' features a NobleDemon sasquatch.
* Possibly the Wampa in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
* A college student named Adam falls in love with a Yeti in the Troma Films movie ''Film/YetiALoveStory''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''[[Literature/LambTheGospelAccordingToBiff Lamb]]'' features a Yeti who is the LastOfHisKind.
* In the Literature/{{Discworld}} novel ''Discworld/ThiefOfTime'', our heroes encounter a yeti. It's a kind of [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll]], with thick fur. Since trolls are made of rock, this is hinted to be the insulating material stone-wool. Yetis are hunted for their huge feet and hands, and as a result, they evolved the ability to save their progress to load it should they die, which the met yeti demonstrates by being beheaded. [[spoiler:Lu-Tze successfully uses the ability later in the book.]] To date, they went extinct thrice.
** Yetis also appear in ''Discworld/MovingPictures'', where they lie down in the snow (camouflaged by their fur) and jump out at travellers. If the ones that encounter the thousand elephants making their way across the mountains have the ResetButton ability, it doesn't get mentioned. Maybe they were overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the scene.
* [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] encounters Yeti-like creatures in ''Proven Guilty'' after storming Arctis Tor.
* A ski-simulation attraction at ''Dream Park'' included a cute fluffy baby yeti as an obstacle to be avoided.
* One of the engineered future hominid species in Dougal Dixon's ''Man After Man'' resembles a yeti, and some of its descendants evolve into bigfoot-like variations.
* ''The Long Walk'' (Where Slavomir Ravisz escapes from a Gulag), contains an encounter with a Yeti. In fact, that's why he got in contact with a publisher in the first place.
* ''The Aquiliad'' by S.P. Somtow is a '''''wacky''''' AlternateHistory in which TheRomanEmpire has [[SchizoTech developed steamships]] and is now exploring and settling Terra Nova (i.e., North America). Where the narrator finds the Sasquatii, or, as the scholars put it in proper Greek, the Megapodes -- who greet the Romans with, "Shalom." Yes, the Sasquatii are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, kidnapped and mutated by a {{Time Travel}}ing MadScientist ... and it goes on to get even weirder.
* The Yetis of the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' universe are given an entry in ''Literature/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem''. They're said to grow close to fifteen feet tall, have snow white fur, eat anything it comes across, live in Tibet, fear fire, and possibly are related to Trolls (Though no one has gotten close enough to one to actually study it).
* In the GeronimoStilton book ''I'm Too Fond of My Fur!'', the title character goes off to find his friend Professor Von Volt in the Himalayas, and encounters a family of yetis.
* In ''AmericanPsycho'', UnreliableNarrator Patrick Bateman claims that he saw Bigfoot on his favorite talk show and found him "surprisingly articulate and charming".
* In the Creator/RobertEHoward story "Three Bladed Doom", the hero, El Borak, encounters and kills a yeti. Weirdly it's both a kill-crazy monster ''and'' a vegetarian. Also ConanTheBarbarian has a couple of encounters with "grey apes" that are identical to the yeti in "Three Bladed Doom".
* In Paul J. [=McAuley=]'s ''Red Dust'' yetis are a genetically engineered combination of human and animal DNA created by the early Tibetan colonists when they came to Mars. The only one actually encountered, named Monkey is intelligent but mute.
* The sasquatch is mentioned in ''TrixieBelden and the Mystery of the Sasquatch'', when the gang are camping in Idaho. There have been several reported sightings, but all of Trixie's encounters turn out to be a man in a snowsuit.
* There's a gag in one of the {{Nightside}} novels, in which a yeti-foot umbrella stand is one of the items on offer at a supernatural auction. Before the selling gets started, a pissed-off yeti stomps into the hall, marches up to the displays, scoops up the umbrella stand, shoots a really nasty look at the auctioneers, and stomps out.
* The ''{{Goosebumps}}'' series had "The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena".
* The Icemen of the ''Literature/CodexAlera'' are not Yetis, but are largely analogous to them, being furry, bulky, apelike humanoids who live in the far north and all. They're not normally aggressive, but they ''are'' powerfully empathic- picking up on humans' initial wariness of them and transmitting it back magnified ended up resulting in centuries of literally meaningless war between the two races [[spoiler: until Isana, herself TheEmpath, managed to get things ironed out]].
* One of the stories in ''Literature/{{Haunted 2005}}'', by ChuckPalahniuk, is titled "Missing Link" and postulates that these creatures are actually humans with an odd genetic quirk causing were-creature-style transformation. The teller of this story belongs to a fictitious Native American tribe in which this trait is allegedly quite common, including a supposed case in the teller's own family.
* In ''{{A Song of Ice and Fire}}'', giants exist north of the Wall, and closely resemble contemporary depictions of Sasquatch. They ride wooly mammoths like men ride horses.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Bigfoot "guest starred" in more than one episode of ''TheSixMillionDollarMan''.
** This Bigfoot was actually a robot built by aliens hiding in the woods to scare people away.
** ''Bigfoot and Wildboy'' was a recurring segment in the 1970s children's program ''TheKrofftSupershow'', and a SpinOff from the season it made friends with [[TheSixMillionDollarMan Steve Austin]].
*** Likely the inspiration for ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode below.
* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', the second Doctor has dealt with robots disguised as Yeti. (As well as, briefly, a real Yeti.)
* ''EerieIndiana'': Marshall Teller often spots Bigfoot rooting around in his trash.
* ''HarryAndTheHendersons'' TV series mentioned above
* ''ImportantThingsWithDemetriMartin'' features a documentary on "Gayfoot".
* In perhaps the ultimate aversion of this trope, ''Series/{{The X-Files}}'' -- a show which incorporated everything from human-alien hybrids to demonic possession to half-human half-tapeworms, ''and was filmed for half its run in Vancouver'' -- ''never once'' did an episode on Bigfoot.
** In the official licensed comic book, there was ''one'' Bigfoot story. I recall the infamous "Jose Chung's ''From Outer Space''" episode did feature Mulder watching the Patterson footage of an alleged female sasquatch.
** He also watches it at the end of "TheJerseyDevil", an early episode where, after a long pursuit of what the main characters fantasize to be a cannibalistic primitive hominoid that lives in the woods of New Jersey the creature turns out to be a perfect normal ([[InnocentFanserviceGirl and quite sexy]]) nude woman. Since she is killed also, there is no final answer to why she did behave that way, however.
* In ''Series/TheInvisibleMan'', the invisibility gland was taken from the Sasquatch who had developed it in order to hide in the forest of America. To be fair, the main character was pretty shocked at this revelation as well. He was even more shocked when they informed him that the gland was from a female, which is why the MALE Sasquatch in the episode was so...affectionate.
* In ''TheMightyBoosh'', there is a tribe of female yeti that live in the woods in England. The episode's plotline is just a DistaffCounterpart version of the original yeti myth.
* ''HereComeTheBrides'' featured a Bigfoot hoaxer.
* Bigfoot and other North American fuzzy walkers appear in several episodes of ''LostTapes''.
* "Big Guy" of ''{{Sanctuary}}'' is of the Bigfoot abnormal classification.
* ''Series/TheGoodies'' did an episode spoofing ArthurCClarke's ''Mysterious World''. Tim Brooke-Taylor & Co go into the Canadian Rockies in search of mysterious creatures, only to find that Graham Garden is faking their existence (including the inevitable spoof on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, which is given away by the zipper that Graham has to undo to take a piss). Eventually one of Tim's feet swells up to enormous size due to him constantly walking around steep slopes, and he has to flee into the wild (wearing a furry coat to keep himself warm) to prevent everyone who sees him [[DieLaughing laughing themselves to death]] over the sight of his Big Foot.
* Humourously averted in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. While the existence of many supernatural and paranormal creatures is never questioned, Bigfoot is stated outright to be a legend. In the one episode where they start to suspect they've found Bigfoot it actually turns out to be a giant Teddy Bear created by a cursed wishing well.
* Norg of ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' is a hilariously inept Yeti, whose one shining moment was being unwittingly spotted by the heroes while walking in a manner very similar to the Patterson film (se RealLife below).
* The 1970's paranormal series ''InSearchOf'' had an episode dedicated to the real life legend of Bigfoot.
* An episode of the HBO ''Music/TenaciousD'' show has the guys meet and sing a song about Sasquatch, which references the episode of ''In Search Of'' featuring him. They try to bring him on as their drummer, but he's terrible, so they let him down gently, telling him that they're not ready to be a "power trio." John C. Reilly plays the Sasquatch.
* One episode of ''Series/MacGyver'' featured a Sasquatch that turned out to be a guy in a rubber suit... or did it?
* AnimalPlanet's ''Finding Bigfoot'' series.
* One episode of ''Series/SoWeird'' had Fiona encounter a Sasquatch when she got lost in the woods during a camping trip.
* [[UltraSeven Alien Wild]]

* In the (animated) video for Music/WeirdAlYankovic's song "Polka Face", the members of his back-up band are all yetis.
* In ''[[Music/PDQBach Oedipus Tex]]'', a Bigfoot is cast as the Sphinx.
* Music/KateBush's "Wild Man" is a poetic tribute to a yeti.

* One of the mascots for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was Quatchi, a sasquatch wearing earmuffs.

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* WarhammerFantasy has Yhetees, mutated Ogres with white fur, who live at the very tops of mountains. Originally they were exclusive to the Ogre Kingdoms, but Storm of Magic and the subsequent Ogre Kingdoms update have suggested they are more widespread than initially thought.
* Sasquatches appear in the ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' role-playing game, where they are peaceable and sentient beings capable of flawlessly imitating sounds.
* Some versions of the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' Monster Manual include Yeti as potential encounters.
** ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' features both Yeti and Sasquatches. Neither of them are AlwaysChaoticEvil, although Yeti in particular can be very dangerous if sufficiently irritated. Oddly enough, even in a world with dragons and vampires, Sasquatches are still mysterious and elusive.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'' uses both Sasquatches ''and'' Skunk Apes. The former [[spoiler:are one of the few non-[[AlwaysChaoticEvil evil]] supernatural entities in the setting]], while the latter [[spoiler:are more malicious. This hasn't stopped one of them from developing a taste for cigars rolled from Cuban tobacco, though.]]
* Sasquatches appear in ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}} Canada'', as a peaceful native race that prefers to live in harmony with nature. Some of them journey into the world of men (and thus, like a great majority of species' in the game world, are available as Player Characters). There is also a magical Spirit Sasquatch, and the {{Wendigo}}, which [[OurMonstersAreDifferent in this case]] is a demonic Sasquatch-like monster.
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' has a small handful of Yeti creatures, most of them from the Ice Age block.

* ''SkiFree'' is a Windows 3.1 game which inevitably sends an extremely fast man-eating Yeti after you.

It normally won't attack the Overlad, unless he starts [[KickTheDog killing baby seals]]. Later on it's met in the Empire Arenas, where after smashing the place down the player is given the option of subduing it and keeping it caged up as a pet or killing it and making it into a rug.
* In ''[[VideoGame/BackyardSports Backyard Hockey]]'', there is a Yeti ''team''.
* In ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', there is a hero that is a small child riding on the back of a giant yeti.
* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} 2'' has its own take on the Yeti legend: they're actually residents of Shambhala dressed in giant fur suits to scare off anyone daring enough to search for the hidden valley in the first place. The reason it's effective is because [[spoiler: drinking the sap from the Tree of Life]] has made them superhumanly fast and strong, as well as giving them a HealingFactor that makes them ImmuneToBullets the first couple of times you meet them.
* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' has both Sasquatch and Yeti. Due to them being bigfeet, they [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything deal more damage by kicking should the player turn into one.]]
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' introduces Sasquatches in the "Undead Nightmare" expansion, including a special mission to hunt them.

Afterwards, you can choose to let him go or shoot him as you wish.]]
* The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Snover Snover]] and [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Abomasnow especially]] '''Aboma'''snow are arguably based on the Yeti, with a dose of being [[WhenTreesAttack pine trees]].

* The Yeti of ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' are all "chap" and "old boy" and have that sort of stereotypical sensibility about them.
** They also [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punched out Cthulhu]]. ''Literally''.
*** Less punch out, more ''[[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny wrestling]]''.
* [[http://www.theprincessplanet.com/2005/06/01/bigfoot-3/ This strip]] of ''Webcomic/ThePrincessPlanet''.
* Lil K, the main character of ''HappleTea'', has a sasquatch for a roommate.
* Bigfeet in ''FurWillFly'' are human-analogues from another dimension, and have a society functionally identical to our own. Besides the fur and the height, the main difference between them and us is that they're naturally blurred in photographs.
* Mr. Yin from Webcomic/StubbleTrouble is a skunk ape who owns a [[http://rennon-the-shaved.deviantart.com/art/Stubble-Trouble-207-257321348 bowling alley.]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has a bored Candace and her grandparents (and her grandmother's crazy twin sister who [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything lives in a closet]]) pretending to be Bigfoot to scare her brothers. It works. And then the monster is revealed to be Grandpa and all is good. ''Or is it?''
** In another episode Doofenshmertz uses an -inator to turn himself into a Yeti
* Bigfoot appears in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' (the "frolic in out-of-focus areas" bit from the trope description comes from it); the episode ends with a parody/homage to the Patterson film mentioned above. This was made all the funnier by the fact that in the Futuramaverse, Bigfoot is considered a silly superstition. It's surreal when you see robots, mutants, and aliens scoff at the idea of a bigfoot.
** Did we mention that said episode ("Spanish Fry") had the Omicron Persei VIII aliens Lrrr and Ndnd [[{{Squick}} getting off]] on said beast's existence and having mad, passionate sex ''right in front of him?''
*** Bigfoot nods approvingly to said scene....before walking off....happily.
** Yetis are also real within the universe of {{Futurama}}, with at least three varieties: Himalayan, Neptunian, and Tritonian. [[note]] Neptunian and Tritonian yetis have been seen onscreen. Himalayan yetis are implied to be real by Zoidberg in "The Tip of the Zoidberg", for whatever that's worth.[[/note]]

* The Abominable Snow Monster/Bumble from ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer''.
* In a Christmas episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' Jake and his friends try to get a baby Sasquatch back to his family before various enemies find it first.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' has Goofy and Pete encountering an unusual depiction of Bigfoot which has antlers. Made more unusual by the fact that it's female.
* A Sasquatch is among the jury-members putting HumanityOnTrial in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''.
* Classic ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts would sometimes star the Abominable Snowman, a hulking furry giant who would "adopt" fuzzy animals like BugsBunny and literally smother them with adoration. He would always call his new pet "[[AndCallHimGeorge George]]." (This is a ShoutOut to the origin of the character: Lon Chaney Jr.'s portrayal of Lennie in ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen''.)
* ''WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiracies'' is a show which posits that most of the monsters of human myth are actually different species of aliens living in the hidden corners of the Earth. The Yeti are portrayed as one of the more benevolent groups. Their leader is named Tiyet.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' Daggett was taught in the art of stealth by "Big Buttocks". [[spoiler: He was really a big hairy, '''naked''' Canadian]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays''' Fiskerton is described as a "cat-gorilla", but he looks like pure Bigfoot.
** An even better, albeit spoileriffic example would be [[spoiler: V.V. Argost, the series primary antagonist, who is actually a Yeti.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' has an episode where Master Shake moves in with Dirtfoot, basically Bigfoot with one big eye and one big foot.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' the [[TheSixMillionDollarMan Bionic Man]] has fled into the forest and falls in love with Sasquatch. he and Brock shave Sasquatch to get past an Army road block, passing him off as a landmine victim. Another soldier arrives too late to accurately identify him as a shaved Sasquatch. In a later episode Brock stays for a while at their house.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'' implies that Sabretooth impersonates Bigfoot from time to time. Hey, you're a seven-foot tall shaggy guy with teeth and claws, what else could you be?
** And in one episode, Beast is mistaken for Bigfoot by hunters and scientists when he takes a class on a nature retreat.
* Sasquatch showed up in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/NightmareNed'', where he convinces the Tooth Fairy to let Ned try ChessWithDeath for his teeth.
* Nickelodeon's ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam!'' has Mr. B. Foot, a stage hand who just happens to be a sasquatch. He spends most of his time lounging around on the job and beating up [[ButtMonkey Henry]]. Although he'll [[WouldntHitAGirl never hurt June.]]

* "Hairy Manilow" from ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
* Although no actual sasquatch is seen on ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', both Billy and Hoss Delgado are mistaken for one when they get covered with super-hair-growth potion, and Billy's mother implies that she's had an affair with one.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' featured a ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''-esque sequence (featuring Alan "The Brain" Powers as Dexter and Arthur Read as Dee Dee) involving Arthur tampering with one of Alan's experiments, resulting in him turning into a sasquatch. He is then later seen running away into a nearby forest where he then sees ''the actual'' sasquatch.
* Lila from ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'' is a [[CuteMonsterGirl Cute Sasquatch Girl]]
* Snow Man from the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}}''
* One episode of ''BattleForce5'' has the five enter a [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Arctic Zone]]. They encounter a giant Abominable Snowman similar to a white King Kong.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Tracks of supposed sasquatches are often found, which are sometimes revealed to be the work of pranksters when proper investigation is done, although some of them have been found to be ''possibly'' real.
* The most famous Sasquatch video evidence is the "Patterson-Gimlin Film", which indisputably depicts either a Sasquatch or a man in a hairy suit. The footage as of 2010 still hasn't been proven or disproved.
** Starting in the early 2000's a man named Phillip Morris came out as saying he was involved in the creation of a gorilla suit and communicating with Patterson as to how to broaden the shoulders and extend the length of the arms. Bob Heironimus who can be seen in the second part of the reel accompanying the documentarians would later claim that he was paid $1000 to wear such a suit and that he was the creature in the film. The involvement of Ray Wallace, the well known Bigfoot hoaxist has also been corroborated by his family after his death. TheOtherWiki has more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson-Gimlin_film
*** However, Morris and Heironimus' stories do not match up, suggesting that at least one of them is lying or misremembering.
*** Also, Ray Wallace had nothing to do with the Patterson-Gimlin Film. He made some films of himself in an ape suit for the amusement of his family. This was misreported by the media following his passing.
* The ''Magazine/WeeklyWorldNews'' was a supermarket tabloid which often ran Bigfoot stories.
** However, in their case, it was pretty obviously satire. [[CrazyAwesome The]] ''[[CrazyAwesome Weekly World News]]'' [[CrazyAwesome was like that]].
* Some apes, such as gorillas, were known only as legends of "hairy wild men" until properly discovered.
** Interestingly, the word "gorilla" first time appears in the writings of Carthaginian explorer Hanno, in an area that doesn't seem to have ever had any great apes. Some historians believe that Hanno and his men mistakenly [[{{Squick}} killed and skinned some pygmies]] they thought to match the description.
* Paleontologists have discovered species of extinct [[GentleGiant giant, herbivorous apes]] that bear a striking resemblance to Yeti. This may be the source of the legend.
** It is speculated that ancient humans may have discovered or encountered such remains, just like the ancient Greeks misinterpreted elephant skulls for Cyclops. (Northern European [[OurTrollsAreAllDifferent Troll]] legends may be based on similar prehistoric encounters, which didn't end well for the [[AllCavemenWereNeanderthals Neanderthals]]).
* Sometimes people record alleged vocalizations of Bigfoot like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeGPNC6qQCY these]].
* Sasquatch is actually a protected species in the states of Washington and Oregon. In other words; we don't know if it exists but if you see one don't shoot!
* While everyone knows about TheJerseyDevil, he's mostly known in the Barrens. In the northern parts of the state you find legends about "Old Red Eyes", who is basically a classic hairy biped in New Jersey.
