2	* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': The robots Sibyl has Russell build for her in "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS7E07TheTotallyExcellentAdventuresOfMackAndTheD The Totally Excellent Adventures of Mack and the D]]" resemble a mix of Johnny Five and the robots from ''Film/ChoppingMall''. Mack even name-drops the film in his PreAssKickingOneLiner toward one of them. The resemblance isn't entirely coincidental either -- Eric Allard, co-creator of Johnny Five, also built and puppeteered the robots for the episode.
3	* ''Series/{{Community}}'': A ''Short Circuit 2'' poster is shown in ''[[Recap/CommunityS1E08HomeEconomics Home Economics]]''.

10	These are robotic sweat drippin' from off my helmet\
11	To my pelvis and now all of my circuits fried
12	* ''Videogame/WatchDogs2'': In one side mission titled "Johnny, Where R U?" the client calls his missing robot Johnny Five and the protagonist says to him "You got good taste in movies".
13	[[AC:WebAnimation]]
14	* ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'': In "A Dark Night", a pre-film trivia question depicts a silhouette of a "lovable robot icon". Michael guesses it's Johnny Five, but it's actually his robot friend, Archie.

16	[[AC:WebComics]]
17	* In ''WebComic/{{Shortpacked}}'', ''Short Circuit'' is stated to be [[RobotGirl Ultra Car's]] favorite movie. She relates to Johnny Five because it makes her feel less alone in the world, and is also hoping the remake is ''exactly'' like the original movie, but better (meaning no Ally Sheedy). Her admiration for the movies culminate in her and Malaya sneaking across the Canadian border to steal ''Pinocchio'' and ''Frankenstein'' from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_Biggest_Bookstore the World's Biggest Bookstore]] (referencing a scene from ''Short Circuit 2'') before the bookstore closes for good.
18	** Ultra Car's UltimateUniverse counterpart (well, [[DecompositeCharacter half of her counterpart]]) Carla in ''WebComic/DumbingOfAge'' is on record as saying ''Short Circuit 2'' is her favorite movie. She emphasizes the '2' part.

20	[[AC:WebOriginal]]
21	* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob's 500th episode was 'Choose Your Own Guttenberg', a {{Gamebooks}}-style video review centered around the filmography of Creator/SteveGuttenberg, presented as if it were Guttenberg's actual life. ''Short Circuit'' comes up if the viewer chooses 'Build Robots' at the first fork, in which Steve quits [[Film/PoliceAcademy the police force]] to pursue his passion for building robots. The video ends with the viewer either choosing 'A Very Serious Turn' [[spoiler:in which Johnny Five is damaged, setting off a nuke inside him, leading to ''Film/TheDayAfter'']] or 'The Brain of the Robot is Put Into Twins!' [[spoiler:in which Johnny Five's brain is put into a human girl and then is somehow cloned, leading to ''Film/ItTakesTwo1995''.]]
