Allen himself appeared in 1980 with [[Billy Dainty]] playing the Bud Flanagan part.

In 1971, the later comedy team [[Morecambe and Wise]], who often expressed their admiration for Flanagan and Allen, recorded a tribute album, ''Morecambe and Wise Sing Flanagan and Allen'' (Phillips 6382 095), in which they performed some of the earlier team's more best known songs in their own style, without attempting to imitate the originals.

Flanagan sang the main theme song, "Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr. Hitler?" for the 1968–1977 [[BBC Television]] comedy ''[[Dad's Army]]'', a show about the wartime [[Home Guard (United Kingdom)|Home Guard]].<ref name="Larkin50"/>

Flanagan and Allen's song "[[Run Rabbit Run]]" had a surprising revival in 2016–17, featuring prominently in two films: ''[[Get Out]]'' and ''[[Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (film)|Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thehorrorhoneys.com/2017/03/weekly-honey-jam-run-rabbit-run.html |title=The Horror Honeys: Weekly Honey Jam - 'Run Rabbit Run' |access-date=18 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180718055400/http://www.thehorrorhoneys.com/2017/03/weekly-honey-jam-run-rabbit-run.html |archive-date=18 July 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
