In [[film]], the doughnut has inspired ''[[Dora's Dunking Doughnuts]]'' (1933), ''The Doughnuts'' (1963) and [[Tour de Donut#Documentary film: Gluttons for Punishment|''Tour de Donut: Gluttons for Punishment'']]. In video games, the doughnut has appeared in games like ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'' and ''Donut Dilemma''. In the cartoon ''[[¡Mucha Lucha!]]'', there are four things that make up the code of mask wrestling: honor, family, tradition, and doughnuts. Also, in the television sitcom ''[[The Simpsons]]'', [[Homer Simpson]]'s love affair with doughnuts is a prominent ongoing joke as well as the focal point of more than a few episodes. In the children's book ''[[Homer Price]]'', Homer's Uncle Ulysses installs a doughnut making machine in his lunchroom in the fictional town of Centerburg. There is also a children's book ''[[Arnie the Doughnut]]'' and music albums ''[[The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse]]''.

In films, TV shows, and other popular culture references, police officers are associated with doughnuts,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.time.com/4800386/donuts-doughnuts-police-cops/|title = This is Why Doughnuts Are Associated with Police Officers| date=2 June 2017 }}</ref> depicted as enjoying them during their [[coffee break]] or office hours. This [[cliché]] has been parodied in the film ''[[Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol]]'', where [[List of Police Academy characters#Cadet/Off. Zed McGlunk|Officer Zed]] is instructing new recruits how to "properly" consume their doughnuts with [[coffee]]. It is also parodied in the television series ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', where the police station is always in large supply.<ref>On the [[B movie]] matinee show ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', cop/donut jokes were used so prevalently by the host Joel during the viewing of the [[science fiction|sci-fi]] [[police procedural|cop drama]] ''[[Indestructible Man]]''  that his robot co-hosts insisted upon him signing a legal document forbidding any further usage of such jokes in the future.
