5* A ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' one-shot had the Merc, having for once a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments touching moment]] take the girl he talks off the roof to a production of ''Hamilton''. Of course, being [[CloudCuckooLander Deadpool]], he stole the tickets from some snobs.

13* In ''Film/EighthGrade'', a ''Hamilton'' calendar is one of the many objects in Kayla's room.
14* In a flashback in ''Film/KnivesOut'', the Thrombeys quote ''Hamilton'' and mention seeing it live. These references are ironic, however, since they disparage immigrants in the same conversation. The whole thing makes them come off as wealthy clueless liberals and/or tone deaf conservatives, and the whole family is later portrayed as being very xenophobic.
15* ''Film/AWrinkleInTime2018'': Mrs. Who quotes "Tomorrow there'll be more of us."

28* ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'' [[WaxingLyrical waxes lyrical]] to "The Room Where it Happens" in "[[Recap/JaneTheVirginS4E16ChapterEighty Chapter Eighty]]".

48* ''Webcomic/BreakingCatNews''' Fourth of July special for 2019 (from July 3 through July 13) is a feline tribute to the show. To quote Puck: "I am not throwing away my shot (at potato salad)!"

52* WebVideo/BernadetteBanner brings up ''Hamilton'' when discussing how getting silhouettes right is an important way to get across the time period of a piece, even when taking other creative liberties with costuming. She later interviewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_615_hW3Q1Y the designers and craftspeople behind the costumes]] of the show when doing a series of videos on the fashion and theater districts of New York and how they've been affected by the downtime during COVID 19, including participating in a fundraiser for the struggling costumers.
53* The ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' is ''rife'' with ''Hamilton'' references, especially in the L'Manburg War for Independence, where characters go as far as to quote lines from the musical nigh-verbatim multiple times, and Wilbur even makes a parody of "The Adams Administration" after [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Jschlatt was elected president]] on one of Fundy's streams. It is also confirmed that the many ''Hamilton'' references and parallels in the roleplay are intentional.
54* Creator/TeamFourStar has referenced this for its Abridged series:
55** ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': Freeza gets his own song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byYi9mGfigY Just Give Up]]," where he sings about how he'll be destroying planets and ruling the galaxy with an iron fist, set to the tune of ''Hamilton''[='=]s "You'll Be Back".
56** ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'': Episode 8 features an Alexander Anderson-themed parody of ''Hamilton'' song "Alexander Hamilton" fittingly called "[[https://youtu.be/DxF4v5asYNc Alexander Anderson]]." Not only is it sung to the same tune as "Alexander Hamilton," but also features all members of the show singing the song.
57* WebVideo/FreshyKanal's ''RAP BATTLE'' series: the season 2 finale was a rap battle between the musical's version of Hamilton and [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]].

61* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
62** A minor RunningGag from later seasons has characters discussing potential Broadway musicals about the lives of nowadays-obscure historical figures like UsefulNotes/GroverCleveland and UsefulNotes/WilliamHowardTaft in a clear nod to ''Hamilton''.
63** Chris once concluded a history project with a passive-aggressive "Alexander Hamilton was ''white!''" with a boombox playing a hip-hop beat.
64* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersBotBots'': In one episode, the Hunger Hubs try to put on a play called "I, Cheeseburger" which is a pretty blatant spoof of ''Hamilton'', right down to the opening song being set to the same tune as "Alexander Hamilton".
