History Main / AbrahamLincoln

* The whacked-out Chinese movie ''FantasyMissionForce'' opens with several world leaders being captured. One of them is Lincoln. And he clearly identifies himself as such - ''even in the original Chinese''.

* In ''UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny'', He popped out of his grave, took an AK-47 out from under his hat, and blew {{Batman}} away with a rat-a-tat-tat, but he ran out of bullets and ran away 'cause [[{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]] [[{{CueCullen}} arrived to save the day]].

-->''[[{{irony}}The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,]] but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.''

* [[TeamFortressTwo He was the original Pyro.]]
** He may or may not be the current one, also (though he would be a bit short).

Emphasis on "almost." [[YourMileageMayVary There is]] [[SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond a minority]] of Lost Cause followers, neo-Confederates, libertarians and anti-federalists who hold different views on the man, claiming that he was a dictatorial leader who trampled on civil liberties and states' rights, set the stage for the centralization of power in America, and launched the American Civil War not out of his moral opposition to slavery, but to maintain his own power base.

* A clone of Abraham Lincoln is the main protagonist of ''CloneHigh''.

* ''FamilyGuy''. There was this [[TheBible Biblical joke]] about "Abraham (Lincoln) killing Isaac (the bartender from TheLoveBoat)"[[hottip:*:Even though in TheBible, {{God}} called off the sacrifice at the last minute, showing some [[SarcasmMode great research]] on behalf of the writers.]]

* In one episode of ''Father Ted'', Dougal, in a delusional state due to extreme hunger, sees Ted in a Lincoln costume.

* According to the backstory of [=~Assassin's Creed~=], Booth was actually a member of the Assassin order, implying that Lincoln therefore was a member of the Knights Templar, the villains of the series.

* A giant statue of Abraham Lincoln, actually from the Memorial to said man, is the Antagonist in one of the ''SamAndMax'' episodes. He appears later as merely a giant head and simply is infatuated with a young girl.

Was famously born in a log cabin, but not the one you can get tours of (despite what the guides will tell you), that one was built 8 years after he was born. As [[{{QI}} Stephen Fry]] once put it, it is dangerously close to the legendary schoolboy gaffe, [[MemeticBadass "Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin he built with his own hands."]]

* In GangsOfNewYork, an actor portrays him in a production of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' and he is greeted with jeers, food throwing, and shouts of "Down with the Union!" This is a [[TruthInTelevision pretty good reflection]] of how working-class New Yorkers actually felt about President Lincoln; New York City mayor Fernando Wood even proposed that the city [[DividedStatesOfAmerica secede]] from the Union and become an [[TruceZone independent country]].

His memorial in DC is a very popular spot for "inspirational" moments in media, and [[MonumentalDamage is much hardier than most other memorials]]. He is also the only non-British Empire citizen to have his statue in Parliament Yards in London.

-->''"Bring it, Boy. I'm gonna emancipate your teeth."'' - Abe Lincoln, from ''TalesFromTheBullyPulpit''

**NB: The fencing treatise "By the Sword" notes that Lincoln's [[RefugeInAudacity apparently ridiculous]] rules for the duel [[FridgeBrilliance belie a cunning tactician's mind]]: By choosing long, heavy weapons and dividing the dueling ground to prevent his opponent from closing distance, the much taller Lincoln ensured that he--with his nearly 6 inch longer reach--could attack with impunity and/or (more likely) [[PeaceThroughSuperiorFirepower effectively stalemate the duel without drawing blood]].

Even if you're {{Batman}}. Or [[http://www.glarkware.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=3&idproduct=1644 Bigfoot]]. In some ways, Abraham Lincoln is almost as much a MemeticBadass as ChuckNorris. The only president to be more BadAss was TheodoreRoosevelt.
