* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In "Medicinal Fried Chicken", after Randy gets free marihuana on a doctor's prescription he walks out while singing "Buffalo Soldier", from ''Music/{{Uprising}}''.
* In one of Creator/SethMacFarlane's ''Cartoon Cavalcade'' cartoon sketches Marley is held captive by two police officers who want to arrest him for the murder of a sherrif, though he keeps denying his involvement. As the cops huddle together one of them wonders why he keeps denying that he murdered the sherrif, while he does commit another crime, murdering a deputy, that he hasn't been charged with yet.
