In Popular Culture
- 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.
- A parody titled "There Will Be Milkshakes for Old Men" was featured in episode 5 of season 33 of NBC's Saturday Night Live, which aired on February 23, 2008. Fred Armisen makes an appearance as Anton Chigurh, complete with deadly air tank and Javier Bardem pageboy, mimicking his famous "gas stop 'Call-It'" scene. The same episode also featured a skit of No Country for Old Men titled "Grandkids in the Movies".
