- Chevy himself made light of his cancellation at the 1994 Super Bowl, by redoing his Frito Lay commercial from the previous Super Bowl, where he sees an old lady in danger holding a bag of Doritos, but runs out to save only the bag of chips. In this commercial, the producers run onto the set yelling to "CUT!" filming and tell Chevy that the commercial has been cancelled. Although an alarmed Chevy initially questions the decision ("How do you get cancelled out of a commercial?"), he takes it in stride by the end of the commercial. As he leaves the lot, he tells himself (and the viewer) "Bad year, but good chips" since he has the bag of Doritos. However, the same old lady swings past Chevy on a rope and steals the bag away from him.
- Chevy also lampooned his cancellation on The Larry Sanders Show when he met fictional talk show host Larry Sanders in a psychiatrist's waiting room. Chevy wondered aloud why he wanted that fish aquarium to be featured so prominently on his set.
