In popular culture
editThe song was used shortly after its release in an Arkansas Razorbacks hype video in 2010 where it gained popularity as a sports anthem.
The song has become an anthem for numerous sports teams. The New York Knicks professional basketball team used an instrumental version of the song for their player intros during the 2010–11 NBA season.[6]
The song has gained popularity among Miami Hurricanes football fans as Snoop Dogg's line "We like the U in the '80s" refers to the University of Miami football team that dominated college football in the 1980s and early 1990s. It was subsequently arranged for the Band of the Hour, Miami's marching band. Internet mashup artist DJ Earworm has included the song in a mash-up designed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[7][8]
A remix version was made in December 2011 for Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos, called "All He Does Is Win" – the video went viral on YouTube.[9]
At the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama was introduced to "Hail to the Chief", which quickly cut to a snippet of "All I Do is Win".[10][11]
On April 28, 2014, actress Emma Stone famously[12] lip synched the song in a "Lip Sync Battle" against late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.[13]
The YouTube channel Barack's Dubs created and uploaded a mashup video of U.S. President Donald Trump singing the song.[14]
This song is referenced on one of the "Coke and a Song" bottles and cans available as of Summer 2016.[15]
The song is featured in a Classico Pasta Sauce commercial that debuted in mid-late 2016.[16] It has also been featured in episodes of shows including Superstore, black-ish, and The Big Bang Theory, and movies including Magic Mike XXL, Scoob!, and Charlie's Angels and The Fall Guy (2024).[17]
The remix was used in the DuckTales episode "The 87 Cent Solution", during the scene in which Flintheart Glomgold barged uninvited into Scrooge McDuck's funeral and made an irreverent spectacle of himself by dancing to the song in a glittery tuxedo.[18]
