Angry Birds in Popular Culture

This is a list of Angry Birds references in movies, television shows, books, magazines, anime/manga, and other forms of media.

Games

Amazing Alex

The game had 2 levels based on the Angry Birds franchise, one from before the purchase of the game by Rovio Entertainment. Both levels are about the player slinging at a green piggy bank resembling a Minion Pig on a fortress made out of books and boxes.

The words Angry and Bird are also used as examples of words starting with the letters A and B.

In Amazing Alex: Beware of the Inventor which was a book for the game, there is a reference to King Pig in the water in one of the pages. There is the crown that Toons King Pig uses but a regular designed Pig which is a bit of an error.

Nitrome

• Red, Chuck, one of the Blues, Bomb, and Matilda appear in Skywire VIP Extended. The player must identify them as "ANGRY BIRDS".
• In Freeze Frame (a game that was made to advertise Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage), Red (top row, mid-right column, plush form) is also seen in a Freeze Frame example made by Nitrome.

Transformice

In Transformice, the Easter 2015 event and one of its reward titles "Angry Mouse" contains a cannonball being flung into a Gingerbread house, similar to the gameplay style of Angry Birds Classic. Players would obtain the title by killing every mouse on the map as a Shaman, similarly to defeating pigs in a level.

Reimagine the Game

The Classic Flock appears a lot in this flash game and they have no faces.

In the 1st level REIMAGINE, Red, Blue (Jay, Jake or Jim), Chuck, Bomb & Matilda make an appearance.

In the level APPS, the flock appears again but as projectiles. Instead of being shot from a slingshot, they are mostly shot by cannons.

In the final boss of the game. you have to press some buttons to get to the next phase. The weapon for defeating the final boss is Red.

Bomb has his white spot in the game like his old design.

Blue Getting shot.

Head Soccer

In the game, the character representing Finland is a human Red and one of his power shots has him turn into a pig and uses a slingshot with varying effects. This character was released on April 26, 2016, alongside Bulgaria around the release of The Angry Birds Movie.

Dude, Stop

In the 2018 game, a level can be found where there are 3 pigs. Two of the pigs are pink and the other one is green, where the second panel contains the same pig with a slingshot and birds flying at him in the distance.

My Singing Monsters

The tweet in question.

On November 30, 2022, the My Singing Monsters Twitter account posted a parody called "Angry Monsters" where 4 of the game's monsters appear in the image.

In the episodes A Leg Up In a Race, Well Rested, The Four is Lava and BFB = Back From Beginning featured refrences from the game:

• BFB = Back From Beginning: When Four throwed Annoncer and Leafy tells him to cut it out, Announcer flew into a slingshot and lands safely.

The Cleveland Show

The Family Guy spin-off show referenced Angry Birds three times throughout the show:

• In Season 3 Episode 17, "American Prankster", Donna is taking away all of Rallo's electronics and she mentions that the punishment includes no Angry Birds on iPhone, Android, Kindle and the Zune (implying that Angry Birds is on every single digital device known).
• In Season 3 Episode 22, "All You Can Eat", Rallo asks Holt Richter (coincidentally voiced by Jason Sudeikis) if he can play Angry Birds on his iPad, to which Holt responds with "I'm sorry, but my mom says that no one else can play with it".
• The final reference was in the 4th episode of Season 4, "Turkey Pot Die", during a Thanksgiving Day parade, Cleveland uses a crowd control rope as a slingshot, which results in popping Lester Krinklesac for 5,000 points (including the cloud bubbles the turkey leaves behind).

Mad (TV series)

Angry Bird Management (not to be confused with Matilda's Anger Management class from the movie) is a parody of Angry Birds on the popular Cartoon Network show, MAD in 2011. A psychiatrist named Doctor Robert Hexenblatt tries to rid Birds of their "Angry Bird impulses" and teach them to not try to destroy Pigs' homes (probably not knowing that the Pigs stole the Birds' eggs). He first tries "Squawk Therapy", where he gets a bird to squawk like normal birds instead of laughing menacingly. Then, he tries "Behavior Analysis", where he gets birds to treat pigs nicely, and finally "Roleplaying", where he dresses birds up as pigs, and himself as a bird and tries to see how birds would feel if someone was trying to destroy their home. At the end, a twist came where several birds started attacking the pig.

Another episode "RiOa", which aired on August 22, 2011, features a cameo of Chuck as one of the Green Lanterns fighting Nigel with other birds from pop culture media, including Blu.

The final skit to feature the Angry Birds was in Kung Fu Blander, where it is a spoof of both Angry Birds and Kung Fu Panda 2. It features birds that act similar to their official counterparts. Notably, Bomb being represented by a bird shaped like a grenade (not to be confused with the unused Grenade Bird). A Minion Pig joins the Furious Five before they all get defeated, except for the Minion Pig who said that "From now on, every moment is a gift".

The Big Bang Theory

In the season 4 episode 19 episode The Zarnecki Incursion, Sheldon is heard saying "Excuse me, Penny, but 'Doodle Jump' is a game. 'Angry Birds' is a game. 'World of Warcraft' is a massively multiplaying online role-playing... All right, technically it's a game."

Oddbods

The show itself uses an animation style similar to Piggy Tales on its two latest seasons. The birds in the cartoon also portray various similarities to the birds on the game. In an episode, there are a lot of birds that are arranged in a suspicious way, for example, there are three bluebirds on a tree, two yellow birds on another and there is a large robot Red Bird as the main character.

The birds on the show are mostly fat, have big eyebrows and hair that resembles the birds of the series. No surprise as Oddbods could be watched on Toons.TV. The name of the birds in this cartoon is also Angry Birds.

Osmar: The Heel of the Loaf

In the Brazilian cartoon, there is a spoof of Angry Birds named Angry Breads, which is played by the characters. Instead of birds and pigs, the characters are different forms of breads.

Elmo's Alphabet Challenge

Angry Birds was referenced during 2012 in the Sesame Street special Elmo’s Alphabet Challenge in a section called “Angry Words” where Elmo needs to catch whatever was launched from the slingshot to see if it starts with the letter on the flag on top of the structure. The Angry Birds theme song is faintly similar to the song played in the clip.

Pocoyo

In the episode "Dinosaurs", when Sleepy Bird launches herself from the slingshot, sound effects of preparing the slingshot and Chuck's launch sound are heard.

Robot Chicken

The Minion Pigs, King Pig and Foreman Pig.

Robot Chicken made a sketch based on Angry Birds, specifically the original game. In the sketch, Red happily drives home to see his wife cheating on him. Red later goes to work and his boss, Bomb, fires him for being late. Later that day, he hears on his car radio and on television that the Pigs have begun taking over the land, claiming "this land is for the pigs, not for the birds!". The next day, Red's house is repossessed and his family have distanced themselves from him. Because of this, Red begins to feel an immense amount of anger. Red rallies up a group of other angry birds to take down the pigs. Red is loaded into a slingshot and launches at a pig structure as the narrator says that "the Bird Revolution had finally begun". However, Red bounces off the structure dealing no damage as the entire sketch is revealed to be on someone's phone.

In the video "Now we're getting HARD in SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE", uploaded on March 3, 2021, When Chris and Lyle mentions how Banjo & Kazooie’s White Alternative Costume looks uncanny because the iris of his eyes blends with his fur color, which he mentions how the birds from The Angry Birds Movie have black outlines around their eyes which makes them looks normal.
