Parodies of Hercule Poirot have appeared in a number of movies, including ''[[Revenge of the Pink Panther]]'', where Poirot makes a cameo appearance in a mental asylum, portrayed by [[Andrew Sachs]] and claiming to be "the greatest detective in all of France, the greatest in all the world"; Neil Simon's ''[[Murder by Death]]'', where "Milo Perrier" is played by American actor [[James Coco]]; the 1977 film ''[[The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It]]'' (1977); the film ''[[Spice World (film)|Spice World]]'', where [[Hugh Laurie]] plays Poirot; and in ''[[Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened]]'', Poirot appears as a young boy on the train transporting Holmes and Watson. Holmes helps the boy in opening a puzzle-box, with Watson giving the boy advice about using his "little grey cells".

In the book series ''[[Geronimo Stilton]]'', the character Hercule Poirat is inspired by Hercule Poirot.
