A parody was a part of a Pessach Shop Passover Jam, done for the Jewish holiday of Passover by the "a cappella" group Six13. The American comedy artist Rucka Rucka Ali parodied the song twice in his album "Black Man of Steal". One of his parodies is titled "I'm Obama", the other, "I'm Osama". Verizon Wireless parodied the song in a 2016 holiday promotion, this time in a laundromat. The song was also used in the trailers for the films "Pain & Gain", "The Internship" and "Tammy". "Weird Al" Yankovic recorded a cover version of "Thrift Shop" as part of his polka medley "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" for his 2014 album "Mandatory Fun". In 2018, a slightly modified version of the original song was also used for Suncorp advertisements featuring their mascot, Sunny.
