7	* A bonus episode of ''Anime/BikiniWarriors'' has the titular Warriors receive “special bikinis” from a god that work just like the “fabric” in the story, with only fools being unable to see them. Naturally, this results in them waking around naked, and being an {{Ecchi}} show, it gets exploited for all the {{fanservice}} it's worth. A little boy helpfully tells Hunter, Valkyrie, and Cleric that they are naked. Dark Elf and Paladin unfortunately find out when some perverts have them MistakenForProstitute, and Fighter and Mage find out when some guards attempt to arrest them for indecent exposure.
8	* ''Literature/DateALive'': Isaac Westcott traps the heroes in the roles of several fairy tales and stories. They manage to find each other and regroup. The last one they find is Origami Tobiichi playing the role of the Emperor, naked except a cape. She is so lost in her role that she doesn't notice she is naked until the others point it out. She claims the clothes could only be seen by people with love in their hearts, and because of her love for Shido, she deluded herself into thinking she could see it.
9	* ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'': An alternate fairy tale chapter cover shows Raji as the Emperor, being too dumb to fool into trying on the clothes with his awareness that he's considered stupid only helping to keep him from being interested.

12	* A ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats\|1991}}'' comic strip has Tommy tell Chuckie about the time Stu read him the story of ''The Emperor's New [[{{Malaproper}} Diapies]]''. Chuckie asks Tommy if it's the story where the king runs around "nakie", to which Tommy tells him it is. Both Tommy and Chuckie agree that it's their kind of king.

15	* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' has an InNameOnly connection to the story.

17	[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
18	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': A variation of this tale appears as a legend in ''Literature/{{Thud}}''. Unfortunately for the kid who says the emperor has no clothes, this variation of the tale has the much more cynical (and [[BlackComedy darkly funny]]) [[AnAesop moral]] of "don't anger [[AppealToForce the man who commands the army armed to the teeth]]."
19	* Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''Wonderful World of Reading'' series had a book in 1975 that was a retelling of the story with Prince John from ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' in the role of the Emperor.
20	* ''Literature/YouLookDifferentInRealLife'': When Justine was six, she starred in her school's production of ''The Emperor's New Clothes'' wearing red long johns.
21	* In ''Literature/WhatHappenedToLaniGarver'', Claire's friend Macy is always "noticing" unflattering things about other kids, like that Larry Ivanosky picks his boogers, Lyda Barone smells like onion rings, and Jenna Dawes can't wear skirts without showing her underwear. Before long everyone else in school also "knows" those things. Claire never notices them, but she thinks it's just because she's unobservant. Erdman suggests that Macy might be just imagining those things, and everyone else goes along with it because she's popular. He uses the story of the Emperor's New Clothes to illustrate his point.

24	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In the First Doctor story "The Romans", the Doctor (posing as a famous lyre-player) gives a recital during a banquet held by the Emperor Nero, in which he claims that the music he is playing is so soft that only those with very keen hearing will be able to hear it. He isn't actually playing at all, but like the characters in the original story no-one will admit that they can't hear anything. (There's no random child to point this out here.) The Doctor even claims that he was the one who gave Hans Christian Andersen the idea for the story.

26	[[AC:PuppetShows]]
27	* The fifth story in ''Film/MuppetClassicTheater'' is a retelling of the story, with Fozzie in the role of the Emperor.
28
29	[[AC:TabletopGames]]
30	* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'': The card [[https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_Holiday The Emperor's Holiday]] (Japanese name: The Naked King) has an image of the Emperor in his underwear while people laugh at him.

32	[[AC:VideoGames]]
33	* For ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' players whose glamour design relies on the complete absence of a particular gear slot, vendors in Vesper Bay and Mor Dhona sell "The Emperor's New" gear, which is completely invisible.
34	* In ''VideoGame/GoddessOfVictoryNikke'', the playable Pilgrim Crown has a gacha skin and a superpower called the "Naked King" that is also known as "The Emperor's New Clothes" in the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese translations, which transforms her clothing into an invisible form as she starts turning the Alva Particles her clothes absorbs into a destructive force that destroys Raptures. It doesn't cover much of her, ah, ''Kingly Glory'' when it activates.
35	* In the NewGamePlus of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', rather than being gifted the "Hero's Clothes" at the beginning of the game (which is Link's iconic green tunic), Link is instead given the "Hero's NEW Clothes", which are, naturally, invisible. Link decides to wear them over his starting outfit, thus giving him a new look for the repeat playthrough. Amusingly, it isn't a con; The Hero's New Clothes actually ARE invisible, and only wise, honest characters can see them. You'll find a few characters that recognize Link wearing some new duds, such as the Great Deku Tree.

37	[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
38	* In the GrandFinale of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}},'' the title character makes a speech summarizing her [[BrutalHonesty philosophy on life]].
