    I caught an older Halloween episode of "The Simpsons" last night where they were spoofing the movie "Twilight". Imagine my laughter when the teen vampire's father hops into his Prius and shows Homer one of the benefits to being a creature of the night; driving on empty streets and timing all the lights perfectly! haha! I couldn't figure out why they used a Prius until I did a quick google search & discovered that the Matt Groening, series creator, drives one.

    I've also seen a few southpark episodes with a Prius, but I can't remember them. Time for a Netflick's search!

    What other movies or TV shows have you seen that feature guest appearances by a Prius?

    The movie, "The Other Guys", has a red gen II prius in a "staring" role. Initially it's the butt of the jokes but ends up being somewhat of a hero at the end.

    Larry David drove a prius in numerous episodes of the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

    On the Fox channel show "Bones", Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), the genius forensic pathologist, drives a Prius. She uses the EV mode to sneak up on the bad guys (this was before the required EV noisemaker)...

    In South Park it was the Pious and the Hindsight episode. There was a wine goblet involved... pretty funny, since we were Prius drivers!

    And who can forget the Family Guy episode that included a Prius... image below!

    They used a Prius in "Horrible Bosses"...I think that was the name...

    I loved the scene St the Police Station where Jason Batemen was asked why he was driving so fast away from the crime scene and he replied "drag racing@. The cop said skeptically, "in a Prius?"
