==In popular culture== * The television series ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' ([[CBS]], 1965β71) is based on a similar ''Stalag''. Richard Erdman, who played Hoffy in ''Stalag 17'', guest-starred on ''Hogan's Heroes'' as Walter Hobson, a reporter, who with Hogan's crew, is freed in the episode "No Names Please". Erdman is the only star of the movie to have guest-starred on ''Hogan's Heroes''. * "[[Stalag riddim|Stalag 17]]" is a 1973 [[reggae]] [[riddim]] composed by [[Ansell Collins]] and named after the film. *Jay Lawrence, who played amateur impressionist Sgt. Bagradian, reprised his [[Clark Gable]] impression when he played Gable as Rhett Butler in the 1975 pop musical ''[[Train Ride to Hollywood]],'' starring the R&B band [[Bloodstone (band)|Bloodstone]]. He used the exact same line - "I gave you kisses for breakfast, kisses for lunch, and kisses for supper . . . and now I find that you're eating out" - in the Bloodstone movie. * The film is parodied in the ''[[Ripping Yarns]]'' episode "Escape from Stalag Luft 112B" (1977). * An uncredited William Holden reprised the character of a cigar-chewing POW in the 1979 war movie ''[[Escape to Athena]]''. Since he is seen only briefly, "Sefton" presumably made another successful escape while no one was looking. * The episode [[List of Magnum, P.I. episodes#ep41|"Did You See The Sunrise?"]] (1982), of the television series ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'', opens with ''Stalag 17'' playing on the TV, as the main character, [[Thomas Magnum]], is watching and remembering his childhood, and the enjoyment he had with the movie, only to grow up and experience his own wartime imprisonment. * In a 1995, season-three ''[[NYPD Blue]]'' episode entitled "[[NYPD Blue (season 3)|Torah! Torah! Torah!]]", ''Stalag 17'' was mentioned. * In the 2008β2015 television series ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'', two penguins named Manfredi and Johnson are referenced throughout the show, typically for the nature of their demise or a mistake they made. They actually appear alive in "The Penguin Who Loved Me".<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwzWykTvmic |title=Manfredi and Johnson compilation (The Penguins of Madagascar) |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/mwzWykTvmic |archive-date=December 11, 2021 |url-status=live |website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
