In the first episode of the 2020 British miniseries "Quiz", about the Charles Ingram cheating scandal, Ingram and another Army officer sing the Major-General's Song. Parodies or pastiches of the song in television programs have included the computer-animated series "ReBoot", which ended its third season with a recap of the entire season, set to the song's tune. In the "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" episode "The Cold Open" (2006), the cast of "Studio 60" opens with a parody: "We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show". In the "Doctor Who" Big Finish Productions audio, "Doctor Who and the Pirates", the Doctor sings, "I am the very model of a Gallifreyan buccaneer" (and other songs, from "Pirates", "Pinafore" and "Ruddigore", are parodied). When he hosted "Saturday Night Live", David Hyde Pierce's monologue was a parody of the song. In the 2007 "Scrubs" episode "My Musical", Dr. Cox sings a patter song in the style of the Major-General's song about why he hates J.D. Other songs from "Pirates" that have been referred to frequently include the chorus of "With cat-like tread", which begins "Come, friends, who plough the sea," which was used in the popular American song, "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here," popularized by Fred Astaire. For instance, the song is featured in "Chariots of Fire" (1981; discussed in more detail below). As noted above, the song was also pastiched in the "HMS Yakko" episode of "Animaniacs", in a song about surfing a whale. In the movie "An American Tail," Fievel huddles over a copy of the score to "Poor Wandering One," and as he wanders the streets of New York, the song plays in the background. The Smothers Brothers, beginning in 1975 on their show, occasionally performed a parody version of "Poor Wand'ring One", which they repeated in the 1980s with the Boston Pops (John Williams conducting). The theme song of the cartoon character "Popeye" bears some similarity to "For I am a Pirate King". The pirate king's song is heard on the soundtrack of the 2000 film "The Last of the Blonde Bombshells". "Ah, leave me not to pine alone" is featured on the soundtrack of the sentimental 1998 British film "Girls' Night" as well as the 1997 film "Wilde".
