I think this is a new one:
In Scrubs, Season 2. Elliot is unpacking her CD collection when she comes across The Joshua Tree "*Sigh*, I love U2" as her sensitive "murse" (man nurse, like moobs) is walking by. Murse takes it the wrong way and says "I love you too." Hilarity ensues. Love that show.
Also, I think "Just Friends" was mentioned already. But Bono is mentioned twice in there.

Melayna, I LOVE that episode of Scrubs. I watched it with my dad and I laughed hysterically when that part came up. My dad just looked at me like I was insane, but whatever, lol.
Um. Another Gilmore Girls mention. Lorelai and Luke have just started dating and Lorelai is listing music that Luke has to have if they're going to be dating. At the very top of the list is U2. I think she says something like. Oooh. Bono. U2 is a must.

You are not crazy Katie. I would call you a bluecrackhead like me!!That is a very good thing. I would have let the song play too. Perhaps she did not want an awsome somg like WOWY to be ruined with the memory of a bad break up. That is what I told myself so I would not be totally pissed at her.
Didn't think about that. Hehehe. Good explanation, Adriana. (I have a good memory see!! I'm right, aren't I?)

Oh wait!! I remembered something: the day before yesterday I watched "Be Cool", with John Travolta, and he's talking and suggests to convince Steven Tyler to sing with some girl, to which he is told "Yeah, and you could also call Bono and Sting to make a new Christams record"

Speaking of Bono mentions on Everwood, am I the only who thinks Gregory Smith the guy who plays Ephram, looks like Bono in his early 20's??

I remember reading something on anecdotes.com. Robbie Williams was at some art gallery opening and he was stoned or something. He was staring at this piece of art and Bono came along.
Robbie: Bono, man this picture is fuckin' amazin'!!! So real and life like!
Bono: Robbie, that's a window.
I laughed so much!! That site has many U2 anecdotes. Pretty funneh.

yeah there's also a scene where he stayed at bono's house in dublin and he was supposed to write in a book, where all the people who stay with the hewsons apparantly write something in there..and there were all those really brilliant people in there with lots of wise words and Robbie sat down and thought about what to write for a few hours.
in the end he wrote "thanks bono, love rob"
i'll type it up once i find that book

It's important for the media to scrutinize all influnences on political matters. Bono is of course no exception, does he pass inspection?

bit late but finally found the book and wanted to share that part with you, if you haven't actually read it already..this is from "Feel" Rob's biography
---
Perhaps there is something about lounging in comfort on a luxurious private plane that triggers reminiscene. As we fly into German airspace, Rob starts talking about his encounters with Bono. The first is one of his favourite anecdotes from the lost drug days. He had flown over to Bono's Dublin retreat for a party. Patsy and Liam had been on the plane and during the journey he had persuaded Liam that when Bono relaxes he likes calling the bingo. At the party, Rob got off his head on mushrooms and Bono found him staring at the wall. Rob had been staring at the same thing for ages, because he was quite sure it was the most beautiful picture he'd ever seen in his life
"Bono," he said, "that picture's amazing..."
"Robbie," pointed out Bono, patiently. "That's the window."
Rob stayed in the guest house. All the previous guests had written on the walls, and he was expected to do the same. Before leaving, he stood there for ages, looking at the words from Salman Rushdie and Kofi Annan and all the others, intimidated by all the scrawled wisdom and poetry, trying to work out how he could match it. Finally, he raised his pen.
"To Bono," he wrote. "Love Robbie."
He is besotted with Bono, and with U2. It was watching their April 2001 concert in Anaheim, California, that was one of the principal spurs to make him want to retire as a solo artist and form a band. In his prayers for some time afterwards he would literally implore: "God, can I find the Edge, please? And can you help me to write really deep lyrics that touch my soul as much as Bono's touch mine?"
After the Anaheim show, he went backstage and told Bono: "When I grow up, I want to be like you." He received that look from Bono that suggested this was not the thought he should be thinking. Bono can make him feel like that quite easily.
There is one moment from his various encounters with Bono he regrets most of all. Bono has a way, now and then, of grabbing you and looking you in the eye and really talking to you. When Rob was around him, Rob would wish for Bono to do this, but be terrified of it too. One night, right at the start of Rob's solo career, Bono was talking to him like that, and said to him: "If you want, you could be absolutely huge."
And Rob replied, "Yeah, I'm going to be the biggest celebrity ever."
I'm going to be the biggest celebrity ever.
"The minute it went through my lips I knew it was wrong," says Rob. "And he looked at me like I'd stolen one of his children. And he said no, no, no.... And I went no, no, no..."

If you like Ewan, check out his "Long Way Round" documentary (he and a friend rode motorcycles around the world for like three months in 2004)...Ewan plays the guitar and sings a beautiful version of "Running to Stand Still" on one of the episodes...
