- In February 2008, the New York Observer published a political cartoon by cartoonist R.J. Matson "that borrows heavily from the film's official poster. The left half of the image features the Republican heavy-weights George Bush senior, John McCain, and John Warner—the three of them grouped together above the film title. The right half of the image is filled by one of the film's taglines: 'You Can't Stop What's Coming.'"
- The character of Anton Chigurh was featured in episode 19 of season 20 of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, titled "Waverly Hills 9-0-2-1-D'oh", which aired on Fox in the United States on May 3, 2009. Chigurh, voiced by Javier Bardem's soundalike Maurice LaMarche, played a city inspector and used his air gun to either validate Homer Simpson's parking ticket or to blow a lock cylinder that eventually hits Homer in the head.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“It is clear that in a monarchy, where he who commands the exceution of the laws generally thinks himself above them, there is less need of virtue than in a popular government, where the person entrusted with the execution of the laws is sensible of his being subject to their direction.”
—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
“The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
