L'humoriste Coluche a raillé dans son sketch L'Ancien Combattant (1975) l'image un rien austère de l'ancien Premier ministre, en l'imaginant en boute-en-train lors des banquets des commémoration militaires : « T'entends un bouchon qui saute : c'est Debrééé ! Y en a un qui s'endort pendant le discours de Malraux : c'est Debrééé ! Y en a un qui s'met un entonnoir pour faire rigoler les copains, dites-le avec moi : [avec le public] C'est Debréééé ! Alors, j'invente rien, tout le monde le dit… »

At the liberation of Paris in 1944, Drieu had to go into hiding. Despite the protection of André Malraux, and after a failed first attempt in July 1944, he committed suicide by poisoning himself with medicaments. He recounted that he first tried to commit suicide at 7. Suicide had been a constant temptation throughout his adult life. Like Robert Brasillach, his death caused him to be revered as a martyr by neo-fascists and others who shared his deep dissatisfaction with bourgeois society.
