  • In the Phineas and Ferb episode "Thaddeus and Thor", Dr. Doofenshmirtz shows Perry the Platypus a demonstration of his speed stacking. Doofenshmirtz says "See, I hold the cup stacking world record, but does my mother care? No!" However, it shows the wrong sequences; Doofenshmirtz performs the 6-6 phase in the cycle stack, but he upstacks it at the same time then constructs fictional pyramids. When Phineas and Ferb build the fort against Thaddeus and Thor, Candace is trying to let her Mom see the largest fort but she does not want to leave until Candace cleans the mess she made in the kitchen earlier, when she literally "threw the groceries in the kitchen". While she rushes to stack cans in the cupboard, Dr. Doofenshmirtz shudders and says to Perry, "I've just felt a disturbance in the cup stacking universe; I think my record's been broken."
  • In the Zeke & Luther episode "The Big Red Stacking Machine", Zeke and Luther are preparing to set a new two-man butt-boarding record. Things seem set until their training gets interrupted by Luther's new-found fascination with cup stacking. Possessing a natural talent for the sport, Luther fakes a stomach ache so he can get out of butt-board training with Zeke and enter a local cup stacking tournament. After learning that Luther has won the cup stacking tournament, Zeke enlists Stinky to be his new butt-boarding partner.
  • In The Cleveland Show episode "Ladies' Night", Rallo plays a game of cup stacking with a time of 8.35 seconds, but gets disappointed and throws the cups away. There is another cup stacking sequence in which Rallo upstacks a ten-stack upside down, one cup at the bottom and the rest stacked inside of each cup.
  • The viral film Stacks of Glory is a mockumentary starring sport stacking champion Luke Myers.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials, or none at all.
    Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)

    When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men,—those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
