At Graham Chapman's memorial service, John Cleese began his eulogy by reprising euphemisms from the sketch.

In 1998 there was a follow up with their Live at Aspen, with the supposed ashes of Chapman. Midway through the interview, Terry Gilliam put his feet up on the table and knocked the urn off, spilling the ashes and prompting a frantic, slapstick attempt to clean him up with a dustpan and brush, and subsequently a dustbuster.

The Nostalgia Critic, in his review of The Room, performed a more over-the-top parody of the sketch near the end of the video.
