Cobra Commander's figure is briefly featured in the fiction novel ''6 Sick Hipsters''. In the story, the character Paul Achting spent four years collecting G.I. Joe figures to set up a battle scene between the Joes and Cobra. As he imagined the characters in his head, he observed the "core of Cobra Command" atop an oak toy chest, high above the thick shag carpet, and "the hooded Cobra Commander, looking like a blue klansman, was loading his black laser pistol and making small talk with Destro".<ref>{{cite book |title= 6 Sick Hipsters|last= Casablanca|first= Rayo|year= 2008|publisher= Kensington Publishing Corp.|isbn= 9780758222831|page=61 }}</ref>
==In popular culture==
* Cobra Commander is occasionally parodied in ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' voiced by [[Seth Green]]. In the episode "Toyz in the Hood" showed Cobra Commander with [[Skeletor]], Mumm-Ra and [[Lex Luthor]] in a sketch about going to work and being caught in a traffic jam that included their respective heroic enemies — [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]], [[He-Man]], Lion-O and [[Superman]]. The heroes mocked and tormented the villians. In the episode "More Blood, More Chocolate," the "Inside the Battlefield" segment retells Cobra Commander's plot to take over the world with the Weather Dominator. In the final fight, G.I. Joe planted an American flag in Cobra Commander's butt both metaphorically and literally in one unusual case. Duke mentioned that Cobra Commander went to jail until Zartan busted him out with a wicker basket and a remote-controlled snake. In the episode "P.S. Yes In That Way," Cobra Commander accepts a sniper named Calvin (who had been called "Fumbles" and mistreated by G.I. Joe) and codenames him "Trousersnake" after the pants he was wearing. After he and the other Cobra members saw Calvin snipe the G.I. Joe members, Cobra Commander congratulated "Trousersnake" only to be told by Calvin to call him "Fumbles" (which Calvin has finally accepted as a codename). In "The Ramblings of Maurice," Cobra Commander views his Wall of Fallen Villains and notices not many names on it. He then shoots a Cobra Cadet named Wilson in order to add a name to the Wall of Fallen Villains. In "Cannot Be Erased, So Sorry," Cobra Commander takes Baroness, Destro, and Major Bludd to a drive-thru restaurant where Cobra Commander's hissing noises causes problems for him when he makes an order in the intercom.
* [[Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006]], a 2002 album by breakcore artist [[Venetian Snares]] features a track called Cobra Commander which features heavily distorted samples from GI Joe: The Movie.
* Cobra Commander had a cameo in the "[[PTV (Family Guy episode)|PTV]]" episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', where he is depicted as the chairman of the [[FCC]].
* Comedian [[Hal Sparks]] dressed as Cobra Commander on the [[VH1]] special ''[[I Love Toys]]'' in a segment called "Cobra Commander's Day Off", where he would commit 'evil' deeds such as stealing newspapers and toilet paper, cheating at [[chess]] and vandalizing a coworker's desk.
* On [[G4 (TV channel)|G4]]'s show ''[[Action Blast!]]'' during intervals is a segment called ''The Cobra Commander Show'' where Cobra Commander discusses his view on the world and other meaningless information. It also reveals that he likes to watch and play with [[My Little Pony]].
* In 2008, on the [[G4 (TV channel)|G4]] television program ''[[Attack of the Show]]'', they had an ongoing gag where Cobra Commander is running for [[President of the United States]]. Segments include a music video/commercial using the slogan, "Yes we shall", a parody of [[Barack Obama]]'s slogan, "Yes we can." A different sketch on [[Attack of The Show!]] shows him popping out of the couch in Barroness and Destro's house on their date night.
* In the video game [[Crash of the Titans]] and its sequel [[Crash: Mind over Mutant]], various enemies can be heard shouting "Cobra-la-la-la-la-la!", referencing to Cobra Commander's punchline in the animated series.
