Referenced By / Ingmar Bergman

• Animalympics: One correspondent used to act in a film by Ingmar Birdman. A clip shows him as Death playing chess with a knight.
• Animaniacs: The episode "Meatballs or Consequences", mainly through the use of the Chess with Death motif (though the Warners request that they play checkers instead) and The Grim Reaper having a thick Swedish accent.
• The Muppet Show: "Silent Strawberries" (and, naturally, The Swedish Chef is a major character).
• Mystery Science Theater 3000: "A Joke By Ingmar Bergman"
• Sparks: The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman, a musical written for Swedish radio about Bergman getting swept into his own personal Hollywood nightmare after the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.
• Monty Python's The Meaning of Life: The final chapter of the film is a spoof of the climax of The Seventh Seal, when Death visits a dinner gathering.
• SCTV: Whispers of the Wolf, an "Ingmar Burgman" film starring "Leave Ullmann" and "Harriet Andersshom". Primarily a take-off on Persona, but incongruously presented during an episode of Monster Chiller Horror Theatre, with a frustrated Count Floyd trying in vain to convince the viewers that it's a really scary Horror film.
