A Bergman-themed parody spoofs the allegory of cheating death (Bergman’s The Seventh Seal) in the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live season 1 (ep. 23, 24 July 1976). The sketch, titled "Swedish Movie", is somberly narrated in the third-person by a Swedish-speaking Death (Tom Schiller) with English subtitles scrolling. The baleful voice-over dialogue, revealed to be emanating from the apparition of Death personified, imposes upon dreamily preoccupied lovers Sven (Chevy Chase) and Inger (Louise Lasser) who send a not-so-silently jeering Death out for pizza. Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life includes a sketch based on The Seventh Seal in which middle- class weekenders at an isolated farmhouse are visited by The Grim Reaper.

In fact, he experimented on himself using an untested serum designed to grant incredible regenerative abilities.
