* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', Fern is a fan of the comic book series ''Zutzut'', which is a pretty accurate parody of Tintin.

* French president UsefulNotes/CharlesDeGaulle named Tintin "my only international rival."

* Belgian vulcanologist Haroun Tazieff once named Hergé "one of the geniuses of the century. Both poet and storyteller, he is the author of a universal work," and added, "when strip cartoons are spoken of as a minor art, my blood begins to boil."

** One element the player can place in the drawing minigame is a rocket ship with a red and white squares color pattern, just like Professor Calculus's rocketship.

* The [[ShowWithinAShow Comic Within a Game]] for ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel'' is ''The Adventures of Sucre'', an AffectionateParody of ''Tintin'' down to the art style.

The global success of the [[BelgianComics Belgian comic strip]] ''Comicbook/{{Tintin}}'' has made Tintin one of the most recognizable and popular comic strip characters in the world. Together with ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' and Creator/{{Disney}}, Hergé's characters may be one of the most frequent targets for {{Satire}}, {{Parody}} and shout-outs of all time. Even Wiki/TheOtherWiki has an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tintin_parodies_and_pastiches entire page dedicated to it.]]

* The character Mirio Togata from ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'' is designed to look like Tintin, only much taller and with a HeroicBuild. Mirio as a child and in the present day has a haistyle that looks like that of Tintin (in his middle school, he had a different hairstyle). His father, who appears in flashbacks, also looks just like Tintin, only with black hair.

* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Tintin managed to have a [[http://www.comicscube.com/2011/07/easter-eggs-in-comics-tintin-in.html cameo]] in volume 3, issue #1 of the series, drawn by Scott Lobdell and Alan Davis where Reed and Sue (in disguise) meet the reporter during a protest march, where he is addressed as French, but quickly points out: ''"For the record, I'm Belgian."''. Later in the story he is seen again fleeing away, while shouting Haddock's catchphrase: ''"Billions of blistering blue barnacles"''.
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans Spotlight'': In issue no. 11, June 1987, by RJM Lofficier and Joe Orlando the characters meet a muscular boy with a quiff named Tin, whose planet went through a post apocalyptic war. This may sound a bit too obscure, but later in the story he tells about his planet's history and we see him, Captain Haddock and professor Calculus drawn in realistic drawing style.[[http://www.comicscube.com/2010/06/easter-eggs-in-comics-tintin-in-titans.html]]

* Anita Pallenberg, the Italian fashion model who was Keith Richards' (Music/TheRollingStones) partner from 1967 to 1979 is seen holding a copy of ''The Black Island'' in one picture.

* The 1964 Philippe de Broca film ''That Man from Rio'', starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Francoise Dorléac, has been called by some critics "the best ''Tintin'' movie"[[note]] This was before the Spielberg movie[[/note]], even though the characters are totally different, for capturing the spirit of a Tintin adventure. Some of the scenes and plot elements are very reminiscent of specific albums, starting with the opening where, as in ''The Broken Ear'', an ancient American idol is stolen from an ethnological museum.

* In ''The Golden Gate'' by Indian novelist Vikram Seth the following lines can be read: ''"... and thanks for the two Tintins. Paul's ingesting that glorious goop with as much joy as I did when I was a boy. Liz laughs: "So you were brought up on it?" I was, as well. What marvelous books. I wish someone would write a sonnet about them. I'm on tenterhooks. Whenever each new one's translated! I think they're more sophisticated than ComicBook/{{Asterix}} - and far more fun."'' Seth is such a Tintin fan that he owns three maquettes based on model of the Unicorn from ''Secret Of The Unicorn''. In an interview with ''Telegraph India'' he said he likes ''The Calculus Affair'' best, ''"But I think what I really, really like is a pair of two stories, "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham’s Treasure". That combination is a rollicking good tale."''

* In the fifth book of ''The Mythical Six'' (an Italian series of books featuring six kids who are descendants of Ancient Greek gods and monsters), the main characters find a bunch of treasures, and among them there is a portrait of Sir Francis Haddock.

* For Tintin's first animated feature, ''Prisoners of the Sun'' (1969) François Rauber and Music/JacquesBrel wrote the soundtrack.

* ''Series/YoungIndianaJones'': Indiana Jones' best friend during his days in the military in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI is a Belgian named Rémy. This could be a shout-out to Creator/{{Herge}}, whose real name was Georges Remi. Steven Spielberg is a Tintin fan ever since people told him ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' had the same atmosphere as the ''Tintin'' comics. He had never heard of it, bought an album and was immediately hooked. What is certain is that the character ''Rémy'' in the series is not intended to be Hergé himself at a young age, because the real-life Hergé was just a teenager during World War I.

* Creator/SatyayitRay: The director was a huge Tintin fan and included shots of the comic strips in some of his films. He went on record claiming he loved the use of the Devnagri script for the Hindi yelling of a poter after being bumped into by Captain Haddock in ''Tintin in Tibet''.

* ''Series/TheAvengers'': In two early episodes Mr. Steed is reading respectively ''Tintin and the Land of Black Gold'' and ''Tintin in Tibet''.
