Other

  • In The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, this send off is done three times. At the beginning of the movie, when Bugs thinks that it's some kind of joke, he puts the word "NOT" in-between the words "That's" and "all." At the end of the movie, when Bugs interrupts the write-off sequence and because of his suspicions, the phrase, "That's not quite all Folks!", gets written instead when Bugs informs that the end credits are more important than the write-off sequence. After the credits, Bugs allows the outro sequence to play out after stating, "Eat ya hart out, Burt Reynolds." The text, "That's really all Folks!" (with the word 'really' underlined), is written as the film comes to a close.
  • In The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, Bugs tries to say the line, but is informed by Porky that it was his duty to say the line. Bugs allows him to so, but when Porky tries to say it, the ringed iris door closes on him, cancelling Porky's sendoff phrase and leaving him to grumble, "D-d-d-dirty guys."
  • In Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island, the Wishing Well does the sign off by stating, "And now I say, without the jokes, 'th-th-that's all folks!'"
  • In the Taz-Mania episode "Willie Wombat's Deja Boo-Boo," Taz does a variation of Porky's signature stutter and sign-off words.
  • In the post-credits scene of Space Jam, Daffy, Bugs and Porky argue on who gets to say the line, only to be knocked out by the Nerdlucks, who say it perfectly. Michael Jordan pulls up the title card like a shade and asks the audience, "Can I go home now?", before pulling the title card back as the phrase gets written onscreen.
  • In the Baby Looney Tunes episode "The Brave Little Tweety," Bugs ends the play by saying this exact line.
  • In Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Porky attempts to end the film by saying the line, only to stutter for too long and hesitate when the Warner Bros. studio closes. He gives up and says "Eh-g-g-g-go home, folks."
  • At the end of Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas, Porky does his usual sign off with his daughter Priscilla.
  • In the Animaniacs reboot episode "Suffragette City", Porky appears at the end and says, "Th-th-th-th-that's democracy, folks!"
  • In Space Jam: A New Legacy, Bugs uses the quote as his last words before turning into light.
  • In the Bugs Bunny Builders episode "Smash House", after Taz assists in smashing brick during Recycling Day, Daffy wonders if there are more things to destroy. Porky looks around with his binoculars for more rubble. When Porky doesn't see anything, he goes "That's All Folks".

Behind the scenes

  • In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary," Porky appears at the end to deliver his sendoff, but is cut mid-sentence by Beast Boy (in pig form), who caps off the episode by saying "That's all, yo!"

In popular culture

  • In the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Porky Pig caps off the film by saying the phrase as the screen irises out, followed by Tinker Bell from Peter Pan sprinkling pixie dust on it.
