- The Super Friends version of Sinestro appears in the MAD episode "Avaturd / CSiCarly". He tells a young boy and girl that it's not good to yawn in front of someone else, because it's contagious. The young girl looks at the boy and accuses him of giving her "yawn," and then they ask Sinestro if he could cure their condition. He tells them he'll cure them with his Yellow Power Ring if they give him five bucks. They comply, then he blasts them with a laser from his ring and kills them. He flies away, calling the two kids "suckers."
