 In episode ten of the second season of the Australian satirical comedy show "CNNNN," a short animation in the style of a Disney movie trailer, complete with jaunty music provided by Andrew Hansen, parodies "Oedipus Rex".Apart from being advertised as "fun for the whole family," the parody is also mentioned at other times during that same episode, such as in a satirical advertisement in which orphans are offered a free ""Oedipus Rex" ashes urn" as a promotional offer after losing a relative.John Barth's novel "Giles Goat-Boy" contains a forty-page parody of the full text of "Oedipus Rex" called "Taliped Decanus".
