* ''The Katzenjammer Kids'' are still very popular in [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]] (where they are known as ''Knoll og Tott''); in both countries, an annual comic book has been published almost every [[Christmas]] since 1911 (the only exceptions reportedly being 1913 and 1944). For the most part, Harold Knerr's version of the comic is used in these annual comic books. In [[Sweden]], the annual Katzenjammer Kids comic book was also a tradition for many years, from 1928 to 1977.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.seriesam.com/cgi-bin/guide?s=knoll+och+tott |title=Knoll och Tott |trans-title=Knoll and Tott |language=de |access-date=December 10, 2017 |publisher=Seriesam AB}}</ref>

* ''[[Playboy]]'' frequently featured in its late 1970s-early 1980s "Playboy Funnies" pages a spoof of ''The Katzenjammer Kids'', called ''The Krautzenbummer Kids'', with adult-style gags.
* French [[dark cabaret]] band [[Katzenjammer Kabarett]] is named in a homage to the strip, as is the Norwegian symphonic pop/swing group ''[[Katzenjammer (band)|Katzenjammer]]''.
* Deputy [[Barney Fife]] makes a reference to the Katzenjammer Kids in the third season of ''[[The Andy Griffith Show]]'', in the episode titled "Andy and the New Mayor".  It is also referenced in season 1 episode "The Inspector", and in season 3, "Andy's Rich Girfriend".
* In the film, ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'', Lt. Archie Hicox is interviewed by Gen. Ed Fenech. Reading his briefing notes, Gen. Fenech states, "It says here that you speak German fluently". To this, Lt. Hicox reassures the general by saying, "Like a Katzenjammer Kid".

=== ''The Captain and the Kids'' ===
* ''The Captain and the Kids'' has been published as an annual comic book in Norway since 1987. When no more reproducible material was available in 2001, Per Sanderhage, the editor of the Danish comic strip agency PIB, negotiated a deal where ''[[Ferd'nand]]'' cartoonist [[Henrik Rehr]] would redraw 32 pages loosely based on old magazine clippings for the annual. This arrangement continues to this day.
