Professor Farnsworth: Shut up!

— Futurama, "Spanish Fry"

The other UFO: 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) stomping grounds are mostly in the northwestern corner of the United States and the southwestern corner of Canada, with sightings also reported in the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. The "Yeti" or "Abominable Snowman" is a variety found high in the 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.^note Ironically, Bigfoot have been reported to have white fur, particularly in one sighting in Pennsylvania. Other lesser-known varieties turn up in world-wide folklore and history under an assortment of names, such as the "woodwose" or "wild men" of Europe (though those guys share some traits with Fauns and Satyrs too), the "Yowies" of Australia, the Almas of Russia and Mongolia, the Yeren of China, the Hibagon of Japan, the "người rừng" of Southeast Asia, the Kakundak of Africa, or the "Skunk Ape" which dwells in the swamps of the southeastern United States.

Common characteristics are said to include an extreme shyness and lack of aggression towards humans (though reports and accounts of extraordinarily hostile encounters do exist, particularly with yetis), emitting horrible odors and unearthly noises, and of course scattering large footprints about as they frolic in out-of-focus areas. Most scientific authorities regard these creatures as either entirely imaginary or the fabrications of human pranksters, but like lake monsters and the Chupacabra and unlike explicitly legendary creatures such as the Wendigo or The Jersey Devil (and also unlike tongue-in-cheek folktales in the vein of fearsome critters and drop bears), BS&Y have devout believers in their existence. Often speculated to be akin to large, herbivorous hominids such as Gigantopithecus, or hominins even more closely related to us, such as Neanderthals and Paranthropus. More information on Bigfoot can be found at the Other Wiki.

Examples

Advertising

• "Jack Links" beef jerky has the Messin' with Sasquatch campaign centered around various humans deliberately annoying a Sasquatch and invariably 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 here.
  "Listen to the Yeti! Kellog's Pop-Tarts! You can freeze 'em, then eat 'em!"
• Also the Tab Clear ad, in which the Sasquatch is revealed to be 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.
• Kokanee beer commercials used to feature the sasquatch as a mascot.
• Spicy Buffalo Wheat Thins have a man with night-vision goggles telling his wife why he's standing guard over said crackers: to make sure nobody steals them. He includes Bigfoot in his list of suspects. Then his wife kills the lights...
  "Honey, I was close! It's a yeti!"
  • The follow-up spot shows that he's taken the yeti hostage in order to protect his Wheat Thins. It promptly laughs at him when a deep-sea diver emerges from his pot of chili and steals them.
• Behold the madness that is Eddie the Squeezy Freezy Yeti, a comically badly designed Yeti obsessed with homemade slushies. The commercial ended up being shown on The Annotated Series, where the riffers fell in love with it and made it into one of their running gags.
• In a "University of Farmers" spot made by Farmers Insurance, Professor J. K. Simmons is teaching a lady about gaps in her car insurance. He takes her outside, where he tells her, "You may be covered for this"—showing her a group of kids throwing snowballs at her car—"but not for something like this." A gigantic snowball smashes her car, which is revealed to have been thrown by an Abominable Snowman playing alongside the kids.
• In a Progressive commercial Flo talks to Bigfoot, who points out that his name is Darryl.
• In a series of Froot Loops commercials known as "Adventures with the Toucans", Sam and his nephews discovered an ice cave filled with the titiular cereal belonging the Frootbominable Snowman who chased the heroes until one of the nephews used his "secret weapon" to trip him up.
• One of the campers in the label of the Bones Coffee "S'morey Time" flavor is bigfoot partaking in smores.

Anime & Manga

• In Attack on Titan, given that the story is slowly turning into a viewing gallery of unique enormous humanoids, this was probably inevitable. The Ape Titan, aka Sasquatch or the Beast Titan, shows up at one point, and its existence is probably one of the most important and mysterious elements of the story so far. It's very intelligent, and, interestingly, this Titan is both the least human and by far the most talkative. It's also implied to be very old indeed, and appears to have the ability to turn humans into Titans. Later in the manga, it turns out that the Beast Titan is a Titan Shifter named Zeke, who's also the Boss for Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie.
• Buster Keel!: at one point in the story, Lavie and her companion monster Mippi are faced by a hooligan Monster Tamer who's been stealing guitars for his collection, using a Yeti as his companion. The Yeti is a fur-covered humanoid who can attack with Ice magic.
• Digimon has a few of these. Examples of yeti-like Mons include Mojyamon, a Monster of the Week in Digimon Adventure 02 while Digimon Frontier has a heroic example in the form of Korikkakumon, an ax-wielding yeti who is the Beast Warrior of Ice. The broader franchise also has a Bigfoot-analogue in the form of Mojyamon's forest-dwelling subspecies Jungle Mojyamon.
• Gintama, Katsura tries to use a bigfoot's den as shelter from a snowstorm, thinking it had vacated it after he left a note asking it to do so in one of its shoes along with a thumbtack. It comes back and puts a couple dozen thumbtacks in him as retribution.
• Goblin Slayer: A tribe of hostile yetis capable of speech appears in Volume 9 in service of the Ice Witch.
• One Piece: The Punk Hazard Arc introduces the Yeti Cool Brothers, a duo of Giant assassins from the snow country armed with huge guns and unparalleled knowledge of icy terrains. This world's Yetis are a subrace of Giants covered entirely in fur whose faces are always completely obscured, so that we never see how they actually look like. Upon meeting their tracks in the snow, Sanji, Zoro and Brook debate their existence.
• Ranma ½: Pantyhose Tarō 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 results in his transformation essentially being a shaggy bovine humanoid with an eel for a tail and crane wings. Later, he splashes water from the Spring of Drowned Octopus (again, don't ask us!) across his back and gained Combat Tentacles.
• Rosario + VampireCapu2: In episode 9, a yeti appears, seemingly hostile, but is revealed near the end to actually be Mizore's father. As it turns out, he's not really a yeti, just a male snow fairy in a yeti suit.

  • There's also a Sylvan Yeti that's a sasquatch in all but name, and the game's one Wiitigo also has the Yeti creature type.
  • A couple of yetis have also appeared in the plane of Tarkir, specifically in the Tibet-inspired Temur Frontier, where they're shown as having horns and in the new timeline become hunted by dragons. Another horned yeti appears in Kaldheim, inhabiting the cold mountains of the Norse-inspired plane and subsisting on a diet of would-be monster slayers.
• Yu-Gi-Oh!:
  • Danger! Bigfoot! of the Danger! Archetype looks more like a green, hairy wild man than a stereotypical Bigfoot.
  • Ghostrick Yeti can protect his fellow Ghostrick with his effect.

Comedy

• Comedian Mitch Hedberg lampshaded 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."

The one seen in the film is extremely violent, sadistic, and hostile, and even lusts after the female lead, although it's implied that this Oh-Mah is only like this because it spent its life watching human society. Given how the film ends, though, the others might be similarly nasty, or at least aggressively isolationist.

Literature

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 Traveling Mad Scientist ... and it goes on to get even weirder.

• Devolution: After the eruption of Mt. Rainier, a troop of Sasquatches are displaced and come across a rural settlement called Greenloop, and they immediately start to kill the locals, due to starving from losing their normal food sources. One theory put forward by one of the narrating characters is that they evolved from Gigantopithecus and hunted early Homo sapiens until humans developed the ability to fight back with tools and weapons; finding an isolated community like Greenloop while starving thus triggered an evolutionary throwback that drove them to hunt humans again.
• Discworld:
  • Thief of Time: The heroes encounter a yeti. It's a kind of 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 through life to load it should they die, which the met yeti demonstrates by being beheaded. Lu-Tze successfully uses the ability later in the book. To date, they went extinct thrice.
  • Moving Pictures: Yetis 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 Reset Button ability, it doesn't get mentioned. Maybe they were overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the scene.
  • There's a footnote about incompetent aliens trying to abduct humans, only to accidentally keep abducting other aliens with similar intentions. In the end, they get together to compare notes... and discover that the only real Earthling they've managed to acquire is Bigfoot.
• Dracopedia: The Yeti is described in Dracopedia: The Bestiary, depicted as a white shaggy-furred ape with horns and tusks.
• The Dresden Files:
  • Proven Guilty: Harry encounters Yeti-like creatures lying in the snow to ambush passers-by after storming Arctis Tor.
  • Skin Game: The muscle for the heist is provided by the Genoskwa, a hairy and very aggressive humanoid described by Harry as Bigfoot's serial killer cousin.
  • A sasquatch named Strength of a River in His Shoulders (River Shoulders for short) hires Harry to help his half-human son, Irwin Pounder, in the trilogy of short stories, "B is for Bigfoot," "I was a Teenage Bigfoot," and "Bigfoot on Campus", before appearing in the main series in Peace Talks and Battle Ground. He's about ten feet tall, a thousand or so years old (making him middle-aged by the standards of his people), and he's very mild-mannered. Even if you threaten his son, he'll give you a chance to walk away. And may god help you if you don't take it.
  • The Bigfoot species, more properly known as the Forest People, are highly intelligent, by inference more magically powerful than any human yet known (with the possible exception of the original Merlin), and partly thanks to their magical power, are extremely Long-Lived, extremely large, and extremely hairy. It also makes them very skilled at keeping to themselves. Add that to the Walking Techbane effect of magic, and you understand why muggles only know them as rumors.
    • Peace Talks reveals that "Genoskwa" is the name for a divergent, militaristic sect of the Forest People, who view themselves as superior to humans and want to dominate them; the Genoskwa, real name Blood on his Soul, does not like being compared to "flower-chewing groundhog-lovers" like the more mainstream Forest People. For a famous example of this path, see Grendel, who is described by Word of God as being the Bigfoot equivalent of Kemmler, a Necromancer regarded as the Evil Sorcerer (engineered WWI, came back from the dead six times, and nearly became a Physical God). Certainly, he spawned an Always Chaotic Evil offshoot of the Forest People called the Grendelkin, who can only reproduce by raping a human woman with the resultant offspring emerging Chestburster style, and it took Beowulf a.k.a. Odin to kill him.
• Dream Park: A ski-simulation attraction includes a cute fluffy baby yeti as an obstacle to be avoided.
• Geronimo Stilton: In I'm Too Fond of My Fur!, Geronimo goes off to find his friend Professor Von Volt in the Himalayas and encounters a family of yetis.
• Harry Potter: The Yetis are given an entry in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. 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).
• Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff features a Yeti who is the Last of His Kind.
• The Long Walk by Sławomir Rawicz. While crossing the Himalayas after escaping from the Soviet Union, the protagonists see a pair of yeti-like creatures. Given that the rest of Rawicz's story turned out to be Based on a Great Big Lie, we can assume this incident never occured either.
• Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future: One of the engineered future hominid species, the tundra dwellers created to replace extinct mammoths and musk oxen, are large, white furred being who resemble yetis. Some of their descendants evolve into bigfoot-like variations adapted for life in temperate forests.
• Pugs of the Frozen North: The racers come across a half-sunken ship full of yetis who love eating noodle snow, but make them wash up afterwards so they don't have to. In reality, the yetis are the ship's crew, who turned into yetis from eating too many snow noodles.
• In American Psycho, Unreliable Narrator Patrick Bateman claims that he saw Bigfoot on his favorite talk show and found him "surprisingly articulate and charming".
• In the Robert E. Howard 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 Conan the Barbarian 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 Trixie Belden 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", which lived in Alaska and can freeze itself in a block of ice. It was actually rather gentle for a yeti, behaving more like Bigfoot.
• The Icemen of the Codex Alera 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 until Isana, herself The Empath, managed to get things ironed out.
• One of the stories in Haunted (2005), by Chuck Palahniuk, 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 woolly mammoths like men ride horses.
• One of the stories in The Dark Thirty: Southern Tales of the Supernatural, called "Boo Mama," features the Sasquatch species, who call themselves the Gen. They save the protagonist's critically injured son, but are forced to give him some of their blood in doing so, resulting in him slowly becoming a Gen. The ending implies that the protagonist has agreed to become one of them as well, or at least to leave civilization and join them with her son.
• The Imaginary Veterinary, a children's book series by Suzanne Selfors, features a vet's office that treats fantastic creatures. The very first book, The Sasquatch Escape, has a Sasquatch as one of the patients (and it's still around in later books), which escapes from the office when someone leaves the door open, and two kids (one local, one visiting for the summer) have to track it down and bring it back safely.
• In The Tome of Bill the big foots (big feet?) are officially known as the Alma. They're actually forest spirits, they just choose to take the form of quote "giant shit flinging apes".
• Darren Naish's Cryptozoologicon features the Yeti in its opening chapter, and Bigfoot and other primate cryptids occupy much of the early part of the book. While the book doesn't have much new to say on the creatures, unlike many of its other entries, it does use their possible connection to the prehistoric orangutan relative Gigantopithecus as a jumping-off point for some discussion on the controversial theory that walking upright may have evolved much sooner in primates than previously thought and was actually lost in many lineages like gorillas and chimps, rather than being a human innovation.
• Sasquatch, a 1998 novel by Roland Smith, features a hunt for sasquatch on Mount St. Helens. Main protagonist Dylan Hickock eventually meets the creatures in person. Fortunately for the sasquatch, they successfully avoid another of their pursuers (and those working for him), scientist Theodore Flagg, who wants to find and kill a sasquatch and bring its body back as proof of their existence. The sasquatch is also mentioned in Smith's later book Cryptid Hunters, which is set in the same continuity.
• Bigfoot appears in the comic neo-noir Get Blank as a cameo. He seems like a pretty good guy, and apparently he had a meeting in Los Angeles. He can also identify Russian mobsters by sight, but in his defense, it was a pretty distinct mobster.
• The Basil of Baker Street novel Basil and the Lost Colony features the Adorable Snowmouse.
• Encyclopedia Brown: One mystery involves Encyclopedia investigating a "Skunk Ape", the Idaville version of an abominable snowman. Of course, it's only Bugs Meany again.
• Vampirocracy mentions sasquatch and yeti as cryptids, different from creatures which actually require magic in some way to survive. This was in a flashback, and by the time the novel takes place, the sasquatch has been reclassified as the Greater North American Forest Troll.
• The Film Noir Monster Mash Fifty Feet of Trouble features a sasquatch park ranger by the name of Harry Foote.
• Isaac Asimov's 1953 story Everest: the first man in reaching the Everest summit discovers that the yetis are actually Martians and that they can't live in higher temperatures (as Mars is really really cold) so they have an outpost in the only place on Earth they can survive.
• H. P. Lovecraft short story The Whisperer in Darkness, the Mi-Go (alien crustaceans from Pluto) have hidden outposts in several remote parts of the Earth, including one in the Himalayas, where sightings of them inspired the legend of the Abominable Snowman. ("Mi-Go", although it has been adopted by the fandom to refer to the aliens, is actually just a Tibetan word for the Abominable Snowman, and is used only in that context in the original story.)
  • Clark Ashton Smith's Cthulhu Mythos Jungle Opera tales of Hyperborea feature a somewhat yeti-like race called the voormis, shaggy-haired beast men who live in violent tribal societies in the grim Eiglophian Mountains, where their shamans lead them in the worship of the Great Old One Tsathoggua. Voormis are said to only have three toes on each foot, however, which suggests they might more resemble ground sloths than simians.
• Bigfoots appear in the Strange Matter series in "Bigfoot, Big Trouble." They're all friendly with the exception of one hostile member of the tribe that despises humanity. Several Bigfoots appear as part of the Collector's army in the Strange Forces series, though whether they were being forced into service (like many of the Collector's minions) or are fighting willingly is left unclear.
• Bigpaw from The Berenstain Bears is the bear version of Bigfoot, his debut in the animated special "Meet Bigpaw" even has him leaving behind a paw print which alludes to Bigfoot's trademark footprints. His song also has this:
  You can have your Sasquatch
  Your Abominable Snowman
  My name is Bigpaw
  I supersede them all!
• Gravity Falls: Journal 3: An early entry has the Author describing the Abominable Bro-Man, a sasquatch-like creature that dresses and acts like a stereotypical Frat Bro, right down to mainly communicating in the words "righteous", "bro", and "chill sesh".
• Ology Series: Yetis are mentioned in Dragonology as a type of mountain apes preyed upon by Tibetan dragons. Both yetis and sasquatch appear in Monsterology, where they're instead identified as bears and named Ursus saxum and Ursus sasquatchium. Their illustrations shows them as a bipedal hominid apes anyway.
• Event Group Adventures: Mentioned in book 4, where Jack Collins states that there's no conclusive proof of their existence. One book later, they actually appear, living in Canada, where the local tribe of Tlingit Indians refer to them as the Chulimantan, or "They Who Follow". The creatures have excellent camouflage abilities, tend to send signals by beating on trees with wooden clubs, are attracted to shiny things, and are descended from the prehistoric apes known as Giganticus Pythicus, which followed prehistoric man over the Bering land bridge from Siberia to Alaska.
• In the InCryptid series, Bigfoots and Sasquatch are noted as being closely related species of cryptids that can both pass for human so long as they wear big shoes and put a lot of effort into shaving. They're also noted for enjoying tricking bigfoot hunters into going out and harassing each other.
• Extreme Monsters:
  • The Extreme Monsters occasionally hang out at Mr. Cool's Ice Cream and Beet Juice Parlor. Mr. Cool happened to be a yeti.
  • The fourth book, Battling Bigfoot, had the Extreme Monsters encounter Bigfoot.
• In "Abominable" by Fredric Brown, the Yeti turn out to be a once-human tribe that had discovered a drug allowing them to survive on mountaintops.
• The Boundless: After an avalanche, a sasquatch appears protecting her child. She picks up Brogan and throws him across the snow, causing him to skid and slide off the side of a gorge. She's then shot and killed by Mr. Van Horne.
  • Later in the book, Will meets that same child sasquatch, now fully-grown, in a circus car onboard The Boundless. Apparently, the circus decided to name it Goliath.
• The State of Jefferson short stories by Harry Turtledove are set in a world where Sasquatch and Yeti exist, but they're just ethnic groups of very tall humans who live in the Pacific Northwest and Tibet, respectively (one story introduces surviving Hobbits (Homo floresiensis) in Indonesia, and another has merfolk related to manatees). Most of the stories focus on Bill Williamson, a sasquatch who serves as the governor (and later senator) of the State of Jefferson.
• According to the Bernice Summerfield novel Down, most of the sightings were caused by a 26th century neo-Nazi group, who genetically engineered "apemen" who "proved" their racist interpretation of evolution, and then sent them back in time to be "discovered".
• Snowman is a 1978 short horror novel by Norman Bogner, and is part of the "Jaws Ripoff" horror paperback craze that was ongoing at the time. It portrays the Yeti as a 25ft tall primeval killing machine with a skin so covered in rocky osteoderms under its fur that it's practically invulnerable — in fact, some reviewers have suggested it may have been the physical inspiration for the Comic Book/Superman villain Doomsday. The Excuse Plot has it leave Tibet in search of fresh food, and somehow end up in a California ski resort, where a famous explorer who was the only man in his party to survive an encounter with the beast tries to kill it. It was popular enough to get mentioned in Paperbacks from Hell.

Live-Action TV

• 1000 Ways to Die: The segment "Myth Busted" had a guy living in the woods growing tired of joggers around his home and dressing up like Bigfoot to scare them off. While chasing one woman, he gets shot by a Tranquillizer Dart from a ranger who believed in Bigfoot, which kills him instantly because it was an extra-strength chemical meant for sedating large beasts.
• The Electric Company (1971): One of the regular segments, "Spidey Super Stories," had a story "Spidey Meets the Yeti," wherein the web-slinging hero investigates a series of disturbances involving a large Yeti-like creature sitting on cold items, such as ice cream cones, iced-down soft drinks and ices. Spidey captures the Yeti, but persuades a police officer to let him go because "he's only homesick" (ergo, the Yeti, who had somehow become lost and wandered to the big city, was reminded of home by sitting on the cold items). Spidey eventually returns the Yeti home.
• Bigfoot "guest starred" in more than one episode of The Six Million Dollar Man and its spinoff, The Bionic Woman, although this Bigfoot was actually a robot built by aliens hiding in the woods to scare people away. Likely the inspiration for The Venture Brothers episode below.
• In the episode "The Antowuk Horror" from The Incredible Hulk (1977), the Hulk faces off against a monster which turns out to be a fake bigfoot invented by the townspeople to bring in tourists.
• Bigfoot and Wildboy was a recurring segment in the 1970s children's program The Krofft Supershow.
• Doctor Who. In "The Abominable Snowmen", the previously unaggressive Yeti are attacking travellers to a remote Tibetan monastery. They turn out to be disguised robot servants of the Great Intelligence, but at the end of the serial a real Yeti appears. The robot Yeti turn up again in the middle of London to demonstrate that Nothing Is Scarier than a Yeti on the loo in Tooting Bec.
• Eerie, Indiana:
  • In "Foreverware", it is revealed that a Bigfoot apparently finds human cuisine palatable enough to eat out of the Teller family's trash.
  • In "Marshall's Theory of Believability", Professor Nigel Zircon's assistant Claude meets a female one when he's planting the fake "space thing." It is wearing a large pink bow on its head.
• In one episode of iCarly, the gang heads out into the forest to search for Bigfoot. Shenanigans occurs when the Bigfoot they caught was a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax, then their RV gets stolen by the actual Bigfoot.
• Important Things with Demetri Martin features a documentary on "Gayfoot".
• In perhaps the ultimate aversion of this trope, 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. Also, the infamous "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" episode did feature Mulder watching the Patterson footage of an alleged female sasquatch. He also spends his spare time "Squatching" which appears to be dressing up as Bigfoot and hanging around in the woods hoping to attract the real thing.
  • He also watches it at the end of "The Jersey Devil", an early episode where, after a long pursuit of what the main characters theorize to be a cannibalistic primitive hominid that lives in the woods of New Jersey, the creature turns out to be a perfectly normal nude woman. Because she is killed, there is no final answer to why she behaved like that. It's implied she's an abandoned child who turned feral, or was birthed by another feral human.
• In The Invisible Man, 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 The Mighty Boosh, there is a tribe of female yeti that live in the woods in England. The episode's plotline is just a Distaff Counterpart version of the original yeti myth.
• Here Come the Brides featured a Bigfoot hoaxer.
• Bigfoot and other North American fuzzy walkers appear in several episodes of Lost Tapes. Bigfoot himself is largely benevolent, his wrath reserved for a nasty poacher. The Southern Sasquatch, or Foukes Monster, however, is much nastier and violently kills anything that disturbs its territory (though to be fair, he didn't become violent till after the hunters tried to shoot him). The Yeti is the worst of all, with its episode taking place on a ship where it has escaped from confinement and slaughtered the crew. A crew of reporters who sneak onboard to check out the hidden story find that it's the worst-and final- mistake they make.
• Mystery Hunters: The first episode sees Araya trying to find out if Bigfoot, who has been allegedly sighted in Oregon, is real or not.
• "Big Guy" of Sanctuary (2007) is of the Bigfoot abnormal classification.
• The Goodies did an episode spoofing Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World. Tim Brooke-Taylor & Co go into the Canadian Rockies in search of mysterious creatures, only to find that Graeme Garden is faking their existence (including the inevitable spoof on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, which is given away by the zipper that Graeme 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 laughing themselves to death over the sight of his Big Foot.
• A mockumentary by the Discovery Channel which was a Spiritual Successor to both Mermaids: The Body Found and Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives titled "Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives" (narrated by Kevin Conroy) speculates that the nine hikers of the infamous Dyatlov Pass incident ran afoul of an aggressive yeti.
• Humourously averted in 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, sentient Teddy Bear created by a cursed wishing well.
• Super Sentai and its adaptation Power Rangers:
  • The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers season 2 episode "Storybook Rangers" is about three of the rangers being trapped in a fairy tale. In this fairy tale, they encounter a menacing yeti-like Snow Monster (whose suit is a recolored Primator from the Zyu2 footage) who tries to bury them with an avalanche.
  • One of the monsters faced in Mahou Sentai Magiranger is Zee the Yeti who looks like a yeti wearing a hockey outfit. He is so powerful that the Magirangers had to unlock their Super Mode to defeat him. Power Rangers Mystic Force used this monster as well, naming it 50 Below.
  • Norg of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive 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 (see Real Life below).
  • The second enemy faction in Tensou Sentai Goseiger is based on various cryptids combined with arthropods. One of its two generals is called Kinggon of the Bigfoot, who is a large primate-like creature with elements of a tarantula. Adapted into Power Rangers Megaforce as Bluefur, but without the explicit Bigfoot aspect.
• Some Ultra Series kaiju take inspiration from this
  • Ultraman: One episode featured a creature named Woo that looked kinda like a long-haired yeti. However, Woo is actually a Youkai manifesting from the spirit of deceased parent who seeks to protect their child. A more conventional yeti kaiju named Gigass had appeared earlier on, battling Dorako and Red King before being taken out by Science Patrol.
  • Return of Ultraman had an episode titled "The Twentieth Century Yeti", where reports of a yeti attacking mountaineers lead MAT to investigate and uncover an icy alien named Varduck behind it all. However, Varduck doesn't look anything like a yeti compared to the Monster of the Week in the episode afterwards Snowgon, who is actually based on the Yuki Onna.
  • Ultraman Ace: Woo returned in this series to battle a Choju named Iceron, but the episode immediately after, "Ghost Story: Cry of the Yeti", had Fubigilara as the Monster of the Week, though it was otherwise a fairly typical ice-powered kaiju.
  • Ultraman Dyna had the Gigantes, a pair of enormous but otherwise peaceful Australopithecus living in Western Asia. In fact the first evidence Super GUTS has of them is a giant footprint in the mountains similar to purported yeti tracks.
  • Ultraman Cosmos: Two episodes of the series involved a Bigfoot-like Youkai named Yamawarawa, who looked like Sasquatch with horns and spiked shoulders. He was a peaceful creature who mainly sought to befriend children lost in the forest. However, he's actually based on a species of mountain youkai of the same name (sometimes called Yamawaro) that are depicted as dwarfish Cyclopes.
• The 1970's paranormal series In Search of... had an episode dedicated to the real life legend of Bigfoot.
• An episode of the HBO Tenacious D 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 MacGyver (1985) featured a Sasquatch that turned out to be a guy in a rubber suit... or did it?
• Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot series.
• One episode of So Weird had Fiona encounter a Sasquatch when she got lost in the woods during a camping trip.
• The first episode of Salvage 1 (after the pilot) had Harry and his crew encountering a Yeti like ape on a lost island, which seems initially harmless, until an unfortunate misunderstanding causes it to go viral...
• Castle: The season 5 episode "The Fast and the Furriest", in which evidence at a crime scene suggests that a murderous Bigfoot is stalking the streets of New York City. Castle is firmly convinced that Bigfoot is real, and is responsible (and Ryan agrees with him about Bigfoot being real), while Beckett and Esposito have their doubts. While Bigfoot's existence (or lack thereof) is never confirmed one way or the other, it IS ultimately cleared as a suspect in the murder.
• The David Attenborough documentary Natural History Museum Alive links the legend of the yeti with Gigantopithecus, portraying the giant prehistoric ape as a bipedal, humanoid creature.
• The A-Team episode "Timber!" has a subplot about Murdock trying to trap Bigfoot while the rest of the team fight off villainous lumberjacks in the Northwest.
• The Honey, I Shrunk the Kids episode "Honey, He's Not Abominable... He's Just Misunderstood" features Bigfoot who nurses Amy when she twists her ankle in a bike crash. Also, Bigfoot's wife is a Yeti.
• A handful of the "Unexplained" segments on Unsolved Mysteries featured searches for varying versions of these.
• The titular monster from the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode "The Abominable Snowman" seems to be a straight example at first, but turns out to be a human scientist who's somehow been turned into a murderous mutant by his own weather control experiments.
• Chasing Bigfoot: The Quest For Truth: In this series, Sasquatches are depicted as aliens who are capable of building spaceships.
• The Mighty Boosh: "The Call of the Yeti" focuses on the Yeti, but they're rather different from the usual portrayal as white, fluffy snow monsters. The Yeti live in the Enlish woods, and are large, long-haired, brown creatures with a magical, hypnotic siren song that turns people into hippies, and they have a colonial social structure with a queen. Normally they hibernate for decades on end, but they periodically emerge to mate with humans.
• Monster Warriors: In "Terror in the North Woods", Mayor Mel disappears and the gang searches for him in the woods outside Capital City, where they discover the Bigfoot "hoax" might not be a hoax at all.
• An episode of Masked Rider had a Bigfoot hunter running into the Stewart family while they're going on a camping trip. He ends up mistaking Ferbus (who tagged along) for a Bigfoot baby and captures him, forcing the family to rescue him.
• On Reservation Dogs, eccentric police officer Big is a firm believer in Bigfoot, and insists the reason there's no material evidence of the creature is that it's a spiritual being, rather than something purely flesh and blood. There's also a Bigfoot-like creature lurking in the woods outside of town, with Glowing Eyes and an otherworldly aura, sometimes referred to as the "Tall Man". Characters speculate that it could be the spirit of Daniel, a local teen who died recently under tragic circumstances.
• The episode "Abominable" of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders has the team investigating a murder attributed to a yeti. Monty is revealed to be a yeti enthusiast who believes in its existence, yet he's also certain that Bigfoot is a hoax. The so-called yeti turns out to be a brain-damaged human cannibal.
• How I Met Your Mother has Marshall fascinated/fearful of Bigfoot and hallucinates spotting him having a smoke break in one episode.
• One of the new villains created for Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation is Silver, a yeti/gorilla who came to New York and became a gangster.

Music

• The Jonathan Coulton song "Under the Pines", which is about the host of an "In Search Of" type show (hinted to be Nimoy himself) having a romantic encounter with Bigfoot, and hoping to reconnect.
• Tenacious D's "Sasquatch."
• "Weird Al" Yankovic: In the animated video for "Polka Face", the members of his back-up band are all yetis.
• In Oedipus Tex, a Bigfoot is cast as the Sphinx.
• Kate Bush's "Wild Man" is a poetic tribute to a yeti.
• Bad Lip Reading's "Yeti", which is about an Interspecies Romance between a yeti and the singer from Coldplay.
• This is Troglodyte's main shtick.

Mythology and Folklore

• Aboriginal Australian Myths:
  • The Yowie from Gamilaraay culture is the most famous example. It is a fairly generic evil hairy man.
  • The Dulagal from Yuin tradition spices things up a bit. It is also a hairy evil man, with bonus points in living in Mount Gulaga's forests (thus checklisting the Yeti and Bigfoot habitats). It has red eyes and apparently can only walk sideways.
• There is, of course, the trope-naming Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) of North America. The two are generally considered synonymous, although the term Sasquatch originated from a Canadian journalist in the 1920's and is more widely used in Canada, while the term Bigfoot originated from a California logging crew in 1958 and is more widely used in the United States. It is also known by a variety of other local names such as Skookum (Mount St. Helens region), Skunk Ape (Florida Everglades), Fouke Monster (Arkansas), Mogollon Monster (Arizona), Kangaroo Man, etc. Stories from Westerners go back to at least the 19th century before they had settled on a name, at a time when monster stories were a popular form of newspaper hoax.
• Bigfoot and Yeti aren't the only ape-men. Dozens of other Sasquatch-like creatures have been reported in nearly every part of the globe, including the Neanderthal-like Almas of Mongolia, the mysterious Kala Bandar of India, the diminutive Orang Pendek of Sumatra, the gigantic Orang Mawas of Malaysia, the Japanese Hibagon, and an eerie-looking monkey-like biped shot in South America known simply as De Loy's Ape.
  • De Loy's Ape however would be revealed to have been a hoax. It was merely a spider monkey with an amputated tail then for lack of a better word photoshopped.
• West Virginian folklore describes a giant, shaggy and horned, forest-dwelling quadruped called the Sheepsquatch. There's also Batsquatch, a winged Bigfoot who supposedly lives around Mount St. Helens.
• The Jersey Devil: 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.
• The yeti are noted by folklore and cryptozoologists to allegedly be quite different from the North American sasquatch known as Bigfoot. For one thing, there are supposed to be MULTIPLE types of Yeti identified by Tibetan mythology, including the timid Meh-Teh (the one that leaves the famous footprints) and the gigantic, ferocious Dremo, which appears to be a bear. The bigfoot usually does not suffer this multi-personality issue, almost always being portrayed as a Gentle Giant.
• Cryptozoologists frequently cite Native American folklore as "evidence" that Bigfoot actually exists, pointing to the ubiquitous stories of hulking, hairy-covered humanoids who live in the wilderness. Names like Dzunukwa, Ts'emekwe, Mayak Datat, Nantinaq, and Sasq'ets (the last being where we get "Sasquatch") frequently pop up as "examples" of Native American names for Bigfoot, but closer inspection makes it clear these stories are less about wild apes and actually involve supernatural boogeymen more akin to European trolls, ogres, and giants - intelligent, social beings that speak, use fire and weapons, live in huts, kidnap women, eat naughty children, and get outsmarted by brave heroes. Understandably, many Native Americans today find this misrepresentation of their beliefs quite annoying; it would be like claiming Goliath and Baba Yaga are evidence for an unknown European species of ape. TREY the Explainer has a very comprehensive video essay on this topic.
• A common figure in European legend and art is the Woodwose or Wild Man of the Woods, a hairy human-like figure who lives in the forest and often behaves quite similarly to how many imagine Bigfoot. Scholars believe that he may have had his origins in Roman depictions of Fauns and Satyrs or natures gods like Silvanus, and when Europeans came to the Americas, their stories got conflated with Native American stories of wild men (see above), eventually evolving into the modern legend of Bigfoot.

Newspaper Comics

• The Far Side: One strip reveals that Bigfoot is actually a short scrawny hairless dude with, yes, very big feet.
• Mandrake the Magician: Mandrake discovers the Yeti creatures in the Himalaya. He finds out they are actually technologically-advanced Human Aliens in disguise who lived for millennia hidden from humans, but secretly influenced their advancement of science, while also posing as gods to them.
• One Gahan Wilson comic has a customs official berating a shifty-looking indiividual passing through his station, not because the guy has an Abominable Snowman with him, but because the snowman is wearing a diamond tiara.

Print Media

• Frequently discussed in Fortean Times - new sightings are reported and old sightings discussed.
• The Weekly World News was a supermarket tabloid which often ran Bigfoot stories. However, in their case, it was pretty obviously satire. The Weekly World News was like that.

Pro Wrestling

• The Yeti, of the Dungeon of Doom in WCW. And he was actually a Mummy.
  It's the Yeh-tay!

Real Life

• There have been countless bits of physical "evidence" towards these creatures' existence offered up over the decades, but this wiki is probably not the place to list or discuss them. However, since it has long supplied the iconic image in Bigfoot lore and media (see page image above), specific mention will be made of the "Patterson-Gimlin Film", shot in 1967 in northern California, which indisputably depicts either a Sasquatch or a human in a costume. The Other Wiki has a rundown on the film's creation and the decades of controversy surrounding it.
• The yeti crab (Kiwa hirsuta), a denizen of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, sports a thick coat of white filaments on its front appendages, on which it cultivates chemosynthetic bacteria as a food source.

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

Tabletop Games

• d20 Modern has stats for both Sasquatch and Yeti, but as the D20 Future supplement elaborates, the former are actually the primitive descendants of aliens called Weren that were brought to Earth by the Fraal in the distant past, either as slave laborers or part of an experiment. After being left behind by the other aliens, they degenerated into a more primitive state, though Sasquatch and Weren still share enough of a language to be able to communicate.
• The Dark Eye: Yetis are a type of ten-foot-tall, white-furred apes found in the far north of Aventuria. Most live on the isolated Yeti Island, although a few live on the mainland, and lead a tribal stone age existence in the wilderness. A related species, the brown-furred forest-sneakers, are said to live in the southern jungles.
• Deadlands uses both Sasquatch and Skunk Apes. The former are one of the few non-evil supernatural entities in the setting, while the latter are more malicious. This hasn't stopped one of them from developing a taste for cigars rolled from Cuban tobacco, though.
• Dungeons & Dragons:
  • Yeti have appeared as monsters in most editions of the game. They're typically portrayed as being savage carnivores that attack any other creature they deem prey (which is any other creature) on sight; most editions portray them as Neutral or Unaligned, the default alignments of beasts without the intelligence necessary for true good or evil, but in 5th Edition they're fully Chaotic Evil and intelligent enough to have their own language. Physically, they resemble big, white-furred apes with a pair of curling horns, and mostly inhabit high, cold mountains. There are also abominable yetis, a larger and stronger variant found in isolated areas.
  • Alaghi, introduced in the Forgotten Realms setting, are relatives of yeti that are something like sasquatches, a race of hairy humanoids who dwell in temperate woodlands. They're sentient but primitive, with some alaghi tribes living off the land as they roam their territories, while others who attempt to settle in permanent villages tend to do a poor job of it, depleting local resources and resorting to raiding (and eating) their neighbors to survive. A rare few alaghi of exceptional intelligence take up a hermitic lifestyle, practicing druidism and mastering strategy games like chess.
• Exalted: Yeti are white-furred apes native to the mountains and snow-covered forests of the Northeast, and are entirely immune to cold.
• Pathfinder features both yeti and sasquatch. Neither of them are Always Chaotic Evil, although yeti in particular can be very dangerous if sufficiently irritated. Oddly enough, even in a world with dragons and vampires, yeti and sasquatch are still mysterious and elusive, and the supplemental book Mystery Monsters Revisited offers pointers on how to keep these creatures — along with related monsters like The Mothman and Nessie-type lake monsters — appropriately mysterious.
  • Sasquatch are large, reclusive apelike humanoids native to temperate forests; they're generally peaceful — or at least non-confrontational if given the choice — but are prone to territoriality-driven aggression when settlers and loggers encroach on their forests. There are also fen maulers, violent and cruel brutes descended from sasquatch that made a Deal with the Devil to protect themselves from an unspecified calamity.
  • Orang-pendaks (based on a similar cryptid from Southeast Asian folklore) are also presented as rare, red-furred offshoots of sasquatch that live as hunter-gatherers in isolated jungles. They are known to easily befriend wild apes, especially gibbons and orangutans, and often train them and keep them as guard and hunting animals.
  • Yeti are usually at least neutral and some actively work to fight back various eldritch horrors, but the only ones humans are likely to meet are the Ax-Crazy exiles who have been forced out into the lowlands.
• Rifts:
  • Sasquatch are a peaceful race that prefers to live in harmony with nature. They are also one of the very few sapient species to have always been native to Earth instead of having been Rifted in from some other dimension; they're distant cousins of humanity who originated in central Asia and migrated into North America during the Ice Age. 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), but most are reclusive forest-dwellers who even in the new age of magic can be very difficult to track down.
  • There are also a magical Spirit Sasquatch and the Wendigo, which in this case is a demonic Sasquatch-like monster.
• Rocket Age: Callisto has yetis, three to four metre-tall hairy horned humanoids. The Bronx Zoo has three, and a breeding pair intended for Oslo Zoo escaped from the Berlin Rocket Port.
• Shadowrun: Sasquatch are peaceable and sentient beings capable of flawlessly imitating sounds. There are also bandersnatches, sasquatch infected by the same virus that turns humans into vampires, which are intelligent but not sapient, capable of bending light around themselves to appear nearly invisible and prone to homicidal rages.
• Transhuman Space: The secret Society for Applied Teratology (detailed in the Toxic Memes supplement) recreates famous cryptozoological species by advanced bioengineering, mostly to make the world a more interesting place. Their Bigfoot has been their biggest success, although there are hints that there may be a terrible problem with the trick.
• Warhammer Fantasy:
  • The Beastmen's 6th edition armybook includes in its description of the Beastmen of distant lands mention of white-furred, apelike creatures native to Norsca, which the human tribes and the Dwarves of Kraka Drak refer to as Ymir or Jeti.
  • Yhetees are mutated Ogres with white fur, who live at the very tops of mountains, are almost impossible to find or track when in their natural environment, set off avalanches when attacking and exude an aura of supernatural cold. 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.
• In the RPG Ankur Kingdom Of The Gods; one of the human sub-species created as a workforce by the aliens who control Earth is the Enkidu. They are essentially sasquatch/yeti; being larger and more ape-like than standard humans. They are incredibly strong but generally have less intelligence.

He doesn't kill you though, and if you manage to record both of the creatures, Bigfoot will appear at the end to save you from Bigface.
• Bot Gaiden: One of the bosses of the game, Yetibot, is a giant robotic yeti.
• A sasquatch appears in Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer, It's actually very friendly and helps you on your journey.
• Bigfoot (previously Finding Bigfoot until the name was changed to avoid copyright confusion with the Animal Planet tv show of the same name) is a Rake-inspired early-access Steam game that has a team of hunters looking for and capturing Bigfoot in a national rain forest park after several tourists go missing. Your team finds the tourists, or rather their corpses, and unlike the show you and your team does find Bigfoot...and it's pissed. A humongous beast half as wide as it's tall with glowing green eyes and blood and will attack any player on sight and worse it likes to use hit and run tactics to keep its hefty mass of hit points up. You aren't safe in the command van because Bigfoot can and will try to kill you through the windows you left open.
• Bug has the fifth boss, an abominable snowbug. Other yetis appear in the fifth stage as hazards that would try to grab Bug and squeeze him like a toy.

• Delta Force: Land Warrior features a hidden yeti as an Easter Egg in the "Operation Free Press" mission, found if you run several hundred meters to the southeast of your insertion area rather than following the waypoints to the southwest.

• Demon Skin have a yeti as it's first boss, when you explore a snow-covered wasteland in the first stage. Two more yeti appears as minor bosses later on.

• Far Cry 4, appropriately for a game set in the Himalayas, includes Yeti appearances. Player Character Ajay Ghale first spots what appears to be a Yeti after escaping from Durgesh Prison, but faints before it comes close enough for him to check it out. In the DLC mission, "Valley of the Yetis", you get to see them up close, and they're terrifying- gigantic, grey-furred monsters with creepy orange scarring on their bodies who are unbelievably durable against heavy weaponry and can sprint fast enough to catch Ajay on his snowmobile if he doesn't get out of dodge fast enough. Also, the Yetis dissolve into orange mist if you kill one. We later learn the origin of these Yetis, and that's just as creepy: the Yetis are former humans mutated by the gas/spores emerging from this creepy glowing yellow tree called "the Relic", and Ajay comes across a Religion of Evil dedicated to sacrificing people to the Yetis/becoming more Yetis, which they call "Awakened". Eventually, Ajay decides to destroy the Relic himself... only to be treated to a Mind Screw sequence where he appears to have turned into a Yeti himself. Luckily, the writers confirmed that the DLC ending doesn't count as canon, so chances are Ajay just hallucinated becoming a Yeti, because the game continues as normal afterwards. Still, though...

Afterwards, Link can compete against them in a sliding race.
  • In Link: The Faces of Evil of The Legend of Zelda CD-i Games, there's an enemy called an Abominom that will give you trouble in some of the icy mountainous levels. The name is the main thing linking them to this trope, however, since they're quadrupedal and look more like macaques or white-furred baboons than the bidepal ape-men this trope normally implies. A throwaway line of dialogue from an NPC implies that they were formerly human.
• Avalanche Yeti from Mega Man X8 is a yeti robot with ice powers. There's also Yeti enemy that appears in Frost Walrus' stage from Mega Man X4.
• Sasquatch enemies appear in the Metal Slug series in 3 and 4 if you take the ice cave paths. They use a homing ice breath attack that doesn't kill you, but traps your character in a snowman that you must mash buttons to break out of before their follow up attack with a bone club kills you.

• Village Monsters: Komatoa is a Yeti who runs the hotel that the Player Character starts the game in.
• The Viva Piñata series has the Jeli, which is based on the yeti. While it's just a regular late-game encounter in Trouble in Paradise that requires a lot of snow in your garden (in reference to "the abominable snowman", another name for the yeti), it's absurdly elusive in Pocket Paradise; it only spawns in the wild in about a quarter of files, and only once each (but you can breed or trade for more). Its rarity in that game is lampshaded by Gretchen Fetchem, who has a random chance to say that someone tracked down a "Je-" before cutting herself off when you visit her shop.

• The Big Lez Show features Sassy, Donny, and the other sasquatches. They act mostly indistinguishable from humans and are capable of doing everything that they can do, and are by far and large drugged-out Cloudcuckoolanders whose lives revolve around ridiculous and ill-conceived adventures and extreme intoxication (aside from Kizza and Scotty, who are much more rational and straightforward than the others and have little desire to engage in the drug-fueled idiocy that most of the species enjoys).
• Brackenwood: The Morrugs resemble bigfoots with solid green eyes and mouths filled with sharp teeth but normally completely obscured by their thick orange, reddish or purple hair.

However, the series itself bears skepticism towards it itself, calling it a film hoax and a man in an ape costume as opposed to a flesh and blood creature, as opposed to the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane angle it takes to the rest of the series' subjects.
• The Cinema Snob reviewed Shriek of the Mutilated (which opens by saying "Yeti" is an Inherently Funny Word and using that as a villain is just asking for Narm) , The Geek (which provided many a Call-Back, be for the fact that it's sasquatch porn or the sudden ending) and in 2014 decided to do "Sasquatch Week". There's a bit of Author Appeal here, as he's admitted that he'll watch basically any movie if it's about Sasquatch.
• Glove and Boots: Mario is horrified to find that his Christmas Special guest star is "a horrible YETI! AAA-HATAUGH!!!" and bashes him with a fire extinguisher.

The document describes them as nocturnal, omnivorous apes with a genetic disease that increases the chances of spontaneous brain failure in other Hominid species the longer they observe them. But that's just Blatant Lies for the general staff. In actuality, they were once the dominant species on the planet and much more technologically advanced than we are even now, until humanity, with the guidance of a Fae, massacred most of them and destroyed their Organic Technology, but not before using one of their devices against them to lower their intelligence to that of beasts. But they are starting to get it back, and they're pissed.
• SuperMarioLogan: Bigfoot is the subject of a video where Bowser Junior and his friends try to find him. Unlike most cases, this work seems to imply that he doesn't actually exist.
• TierZoo: An April Fools' Day episode discusses how the "solo simian build" stacks up compared to other cryptid builds in the game. Solo simians are determined to have stats equal to or better than other great apes, but aren't as viable due to a lack of teamplay among the player base, which is the main advantage that primate builds have in the metagame. They're placed in B-tier as a result, lower than the other simian builds.

A pop up special from another episode states that the yeti is also from Another Dimension.
  • Ben 10 (2016) has a recurring bigfoot like cryptid called "Forgeti" that only the usually skeptical Gwen believes in, quite fervently in fact.

• Futurama:
  • Bigfoot appears in "Spanish Fry" (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 detailed on the main page for this trope. 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. The Omicron Persei VIII aliens Lrrr and Ndnd later get off on said beast's existence and have mad, passionate sex right in front of him, to which Bigfoot nods approvingly before walking off.

• The Life and Times of Juniper Lee: Lila is a Cute Sasquatch Girl that joins Juniper as a schoolmate and a fellow fighter. Curiously, Sasquatchs in Juniper's world are not magical creatures like the other non-human beings and thus aren't affected by the Glamour that hides the magical world from ordinary humans; this allows Lila to attend school after a body hair-removing spell reveals she is indistinguishable from a human girl except for her larger hands and (of course) feet. Also, she's a lot smarter than the rest of her (presumably) all-male tribe.
• Looney Tunes: Classic shorts would sometimes star the Abominable Snowman, a hulking furry giant who would "adopt" fuzzy animals like Bugs Bunny and literally smother them with adoration.
