Main article: List of pop culture references to Wacky Races
  • In the Reboot episode "Firewall," a user's avatar is dressed like Penelope and drives a race car resembling the Compact Pussycat.
  • BBC Two's Dead Ringers TV series has an episode (yes, "an episode," #lostmedia) that merges Top Gear with Wacky Races. Jeremy Clarkson, the host of Top Gear, is now Dick Dastardly riding in the Mean Machine chasing Penelope to steal her Compact Pussycat and be the pretty one, with the help of his babe magnet and Muttley also appearing as a traffic guard to stop her.
  • In the South Park episode "Handicar," the event is reported to make a return on a Saturday morning in a battle of the future of car lift transportation between Lyft, Matthew McConaughey's Zipcar, Russian taxi driver, Hummer salesman, Elon Musk and his Tesla D, Neve Campbell and her fart-propelled concept car the Queef, dressed like Penelope riding her Compact Pussycat, Timmy and his Handicar, a self-driving car from Japan, and elderly versions of Dick Dastardly and Muttley. This causes both national and international chaos and fear of what will become of the world, and an impromptu last-minute dash for everyone to rush out to their local supermarket and buy out all the cereal and milk. The intro sequence is copied and as is standard for every episode of Wacky Races, an unseen commentator provides coverage of who is in the lead and shows a map of their destination, with the twist of having to deliver passengers.
