* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'':
** ''Literature/DeadBeat'': Harry is so fond of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' he used it as an affinity-item when summoning the Erlking.
** ''Literature/{{Changes}}'':
*** Outraged that the FBI had searched his place, Harry ruefully muses that it's not like he lives in an ivory tower or [[Literature/TheHobbit Bag End]] or whatever.
*** The ambient magical energies at the Red Court warehouse remind Harry of [[Literature/TheHobbit Smaug lying covetously on his hoard]].
** ''Literature/GhostStory'': In the flashback to his teen years the straitjacket that alerts Harry to Justin's intentions lies next to Harry's much-used copy of ''Literature/TheHobbit''. Seeing it, Harry realizes he can't exactly run off to [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] and ask another wizard for help.
** ''Literature/ColdDays'':
*** While climbing down a ''lot'' of stairs, Harry gets bored and starts singing the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogTDa-vG2MQ Goblin-Town song]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit''. He then acts offended when the [[TimeAbyss unbelievably ancient]] GeniusLoci doesn't get it.
*** Harry reminds the reader that Dresdenverse goblins aren't the wimpy dimwits from ''Literature/TheHobbit'', but mutant Franchise/{{Terminator}} psycho ninjas: [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]] meets Creator/JackieChan.
* ''Literature/{{Stim}}'': While Robert is helping Chloe out of her room after the earthquake, she slips on a copy of ''The Hobbit'' that fell on the floor.
* In ''Literature/UnidentifiedSuburbanObject'', the seventh graders are each assigned a country to do a report on. One kid is excited to get New Zealand because of ''The Hobbit''.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* ''Series/StrangerThings'': The name Mirkwood is straight out of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' ([[InsistentTerminology not]] ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'').
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': "Pac-Man Fever", like any episode featuring [[Creator/FeliciaDay Charlie Bradbury]], contains plenty of shout-outs. This outing included ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Film/{{TRON}}'', ''Film/WarGames'' and ''Literature/TheHobbit''.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* ''VideoGame/AnimalRestaurant'': The Green Round Door is a reference to Bilbo Baggins' door. Its description reads:
-->"Knock, knock!" Will a dwarf open the door?
* ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'': The level titled "Foe Hammer" is named for a sword in J. R. R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit'' (1937), also known as Glamdring (Quemya for "Foe-hammer"; it is written as "Foe-hammer" in the book.)
* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'': Come the new Advancements system replacing achievements in 1.12, a few more little shout outs in the names have appeared alongside the existing achievement names. These include [[Literature/TheHobbit 'Not Today, Thank You']].
* ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': Tianhuo has a palette swap called "Under The Mountain", resembling Smaug's colors from the [[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit 1977 film]].

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': The weapons wielded by the Storm King are a mace named "The Platonic Solid" and a sword called "Archimedes' Lever". But the Jägers call them Smasher and Slasher. This may be a reference to the swords retrieved by Thorin and Gandalf in ''Literature/TheHobbit.'' They're properly named Orcrist (Goblin-Cleaver) and Glamdring (Foe-Hammer), but the Goblins call them Biter and Beater.
