===Television and film===
MGM's 1966 production "[[The Glass Bottom Boat]]" contains a scene in which [[Paul Lynde]] dresses up as a woman so that he can follow [[Doris Day]], whom he suspects is an enemy agent, into the Ladies' Room. As makes his way through a crowded party, he passes the bar - at which [[Robert Vaughn]] is standing in evening dress. The musical score strikes up the Man from U.N.C.L.E. theme as Napoleon Solo gives the Lynde character a bemused once-over.
In 1967, MGM released a theatrical ''[[Tom & Jerry]]'' short produced and directed by [[Chuck Jones]] titled "[[The Mouse from H.U.N.G.E.R.]]" paid homage to the show, with Jerry as a secret agent tasked with the mission of retrieving a sizeable stash of cheese from the villainous Tom Thrush (portrayed by Tom).
References to the show in popular culture began during its original broadcast when it was parodied in an episode of ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]],'' fittingly titled "The Man from My Uncle". References in other television shows have continued over the years, including a 2010 episode of ''[[Mad Men]]'' called "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword". It has also been referenced in other television shows including ''[[Get Smart]],'' ''[[Angry Beavers]],''
The TV show ''[[My Favorite Martian]]'' (1963–1966) also used CRUSH as the name of the evil spy organization, spoofing THRUSH in two episodes. In the season two episode "006 3/4", Tim finds a distress note from Agent 006 of Top Secret, who is being tracked by CRUSH. Top Secret asks Tim to assist Agent 004, to save 006. In the season three episode "Butterball" Uncle Martin must rescue Tim who is kidnapped by Butterball.
