Whenever an oceanographer or marine biologist character must be shown on TV, there is a high chance that they will be based on Jacques Cousteau. They will speak with a French accent when talking about fish, and often wear a red woolly hat like he did. A similar example would be how every TV terrestrial biologist/documentarian would resemble David Attenborough. We give it another five to ten years before they start basing characters off Steve Irwin (without it being a direct parody of him, that is). Compare Wildlife Commentary Spoof, of which this is a component. A subtrope of No Celebrities Were Harmed. |

Cousin Fethry from DuckTales (2017) wears a red knitted cap and works in an undersea laboratory befriending sea life. The kids actually mistake him for a marine biologist when they first meet. He doesn't have a French accent, though. | |

In the first episode of Pinky and the Brain, Brain is aboard a submarine and challenged as to his identity, freezes and declares that he is Jacques Cousteau, then ad-libs such a convincing impression of the man that the authorities are briefly convinced and shaken in their mission to destroy him. (The gambit ends when Pinky audibly says, "Good Cousteau, Brain!") | |

The French-accented narrator from SpongeBob SquarePants is intended as an homage to Jacques Cousteau, as he documents the antics of the titular character and those around him as if he were narrating a nature documentary. In the few episodes he appears (as a live-action human), he even wears a hard-hat diving suit with a red beanie on top of the helmet. | |
