* ''WebVideo/LouderWithCrowder'':
** There's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7PpE15yh58 Painting Muhammad with Bob Ross]]", where Crowder dresses up as Bob Ross and paints Muhammad and his wives.
** Later, he did ''The Joy of Painting with Donald Trump''. He's wearing a Bob Ross wig on top of Trump's already MemeticHair.

* Japanese MLP fan-artist Uotapo gives us [[https://derpibooru.org/images/661869 a ponified Bob Ross teaching self-portrait]] to Lyra and Bon Bon.

-->'''Deadpool:''' Sweet baby Jesus. Wish I could just jump in there, roll around in all that cascading white powder. Yeah, just get high on all of life's splendor. God, I love cocaine.

* Future ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' writer Anna Drezen did a [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLba_1WHWjOebykf4w7AebpSZPd7S40n78 series of videos]] called ''The Joy of Painting with Shitty Bob Ross''. As the title implies, a lot of the humor comes from StylisticSuck, e.g. the "palette" being a paper plate with some magic marker scrawls on it.

* ''Series/MadTV'' had "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9L_ZZgPMyA Drawing With Jerry]]", in which the artist increasingly suffers a CreatorBreakdown over a nasty divorce, which affects the nature of his drawings and ultimately leads to his show getting swiftly pulled off the air.
* The Dutch sketch comedy show ''Koefnoen'' did a parody of Bob Ross where he paints a person instead of a landscape. At one point, he even uses his hair as a makeshift brush.

* In the "Mind Freakers" episode of ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'', David and Gwen are too spaced out from a "Rob Boss" video to notice that [[https://youtu.be/ccmYE6wCEHA?t=511 the situation has gone too far]] (again).
** Miles Luna voiced both David and Rob in this episode (see the "Web Video" folder below).

--> '''Belzebob Ross''': [''Wacks his brush against the easel.''] There we go, just shake off the excess and beat the Jesus out of it.

* In the beginning of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKpM33kdG1Y review]] of ''Film/GhostbustersII'', they do a brief Bob Ross-parody sketch (with Doug Walker as Bob Ross) used as a visual metaphor for how the conception behind the film's plot may have turned out, even replacing whatever curse words he is accustomed to saying with "God bless".

* Due to Ross' popularity in the ASMRVideo community, homages created by videomakers who dress up as him are not uncommon.
* Another Youtube artist [[WebVideo/DrawWithJazza Jazza]] has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5UWq3DI6-k spoof video]] where he dresses up as Bob Ross with a [[TheBogan bogan]] flair for Australia Day.

* ''WebVideo/LouderWithCrowder'':

** Later, he did ''The Joy of Painting with Donald Trump''. He's wearing a Bob Ross wig on top of Trump's already MemeticHair.
* WebVideo/CountDankula's video on Bob Ross has him [[StylisticSuck attempting to paint]] throughout the entire video — first [[ThoseWackyNazis Buddha]], then a low-detail landscape with [[UnusualEuphemism "the Devil's cabbage"]] on display, and finally just [[MemeticMutation a massive "F"]] when he gets to the news of Bob Ross's death. He ends up destroying the first two paintings — the first via MegatonPunch, the second with a CoolSword.

* ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'': In "The King Julien Show", Mort has a show where he paints pictures of King Julien's feet while wearing an afro.

* In an early episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy,'' Peter is watching Bob Ross while learning to paint himself. This Bob Ross is a bit of a psycho as he adds a little bush and then tells the audience, "If you ever tell anyone that that bush is there, I will come to your house and I will cut you." Peter then complains how his painting doesn't look anything like Ross'. We are then shown that he painted a picture of the cast of ''Series/FamilyTies''.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill,'' Andy, Jim, and Poesy are all watching Bob Ross, but act like they're watching a big sporting event. Highlights include Andy eagerly telling Ross to use his fan brush, and when Ross tries to think of what to put next, Andy excitedly says "A happy little tree! A happy little tree!"
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' episode "Art" begins with a Bob Ross figure named Rusty Shanks teaching Dilbert, Dogbert and Ratbert about modern abstract art. However, in the middle of his show, he's abducted due to his inability to pay back loans he owes. He's eventually revealed to have been beheaded by a mafia-style group headed by UsefulNotes/LeonardoDaVinci, who controls the world's fine art business.

* ''WesternAnimation/CreatureComforts'': In the American version's art episode, a gorilla makes a subtle TakeThat to Bob Ross.
-->'''Gorilla:''' Hi, the happy squirrel, were going to make some happy clouds. Were going to take the big fanning brush, let's mix a little umber, a little yellow, a little orchard a little blue. Okay, stroke stroke stroke stroke.
* In the RegularShow episode “Bad Portrait”, Mordecai’s inspiration Benny Harris is a thinly-veiled Ross parody.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' episode "Doug's a Genius", Doug's art teacher gushes over how wonderful his paintings are. Doug then imagines himself as Bob Ross, using "Prussian Blue" and "Titanium White" to paint a lake in a matter of seconds.
