- Episode 202 of Muppets Tonight features a trailer for the fake film "Co-Dependence Day: CD4," in which a caricature of the aliens seen in ID4 (represented by Meepzorp) enters therapy for the devastation brought down on Earth's major cities.
- Muppets from Space spoofs a scene from ID4 in which Brent Spiner's character is pressed against a window and telepathically maneuvered by an alien to speak the phrase "release me" to a group of onlookers. In Muppets From Space, Dr. Phil van Neuter is placed in an almost identical position by a group of rats rescuing Gonzo.
