Revision as of 21:59, 25 March 2020

The following is a list of parodies and pop culture references which have been made about the Scooby-Doo franchise in other media.

Comics

Betty & Veronica (2016)

  • Issue 1, Why Can't We Be Friends?: On page 9, panel 1, After being hurt and not getting the caring response he thinks he deserves, Jughead mentions finding solace with two cheeseburgers, but Betty is quick to tell him that love isn't food, which Archie knows is a mistake, as he responds with "Ruh-roh."

Harley Quinn (volume 2)

  • Harley Quinn Invades Comic-Con International: San Diego: In this special, Harley Quinn goes to the San Diego Comic-Con, where after turning on the Batmobile, she screams "Jinkies."

Harley Quinn (volume 3)

  • Issue 1, Afterbirth!: In the background of one panel while Harley Quinn is talking, there is an alternately colored gang of Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy running in their classic poses.

Red Razors

  • In the 1991 Judge Dredd tie-in comic Red Razors (set 50 years later then the events in the main Dredd comics) there appeared a gang of Sov-Block mercenary enforcers that called themselves the Spooky Doo Gang and drove around in a van with "Mystery Machine" on the side. Their names were Freddy, Barbra, Shabby, Hannah, and Spooky. Shabby and Spooky were given mystery-munchies as incentive to do their jobs and much of the gang spoke in hip styled slang (For example, Freddy often would say "daddio"). They were hired by the Sov-Block Two Chief Judge Ricky to find the stolen body of Elvis Presley (who is worshipped as a god). The operation went sour with Barbra and Shabby being killed leaving Freddy, Hannah, and Spooky.

Simpsons Comics

  • Issue 242, Scooby Don't: Bart Simpson is in the role of Fred, Lisa as Velma, Jessica Lovejoy as Daphne, and Nelson Muntz as Shaggy. They are asked to play with Ralph Wiggum, whom is dressed up in a full costume and mask of his dog character "Wiggle Puppy" (whom bears an uncanny resemblance to Scooby-Doo) and is speaking in a similar "R" speech impediment due to having bit his tongue. The gang checks out an amusement park only to find it abandoned and supposedly haunted by a ghost. A few of the usual Scooby-Doo conventions are parodied (such as Lisa claiming she lost her glasses, by which she meant a commemorative glassware set instead of eyeglasses), and Jessica catches the ghost easily because he's an older guy (the Rich Texan) in a heavy costume compared to the rest of the kids, whom ends up getting away with it as he can afford a lawyer. The human characters are also drawn with facial features reminiscent of Iwao Takamoto's human character designs in the Scooby-Doo franchise.

Films

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations

  • Jenna tells the main character, Sam, "This is so Scooby-Doo, isn't it? I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids."

Can't Hardly Wait

  • Brian Klugman and Jason Segel's characters have a discussion in which Brian lists Velma as someone whom he liked but "never got much play". The two go on to agree that she was a "hip chick". Jason also says "Rooby Rooby Roo!"

Characterz

  • The park director for Old Time Fun Town, Benjamin Fletcher, has set up an elaborate plan to frame the amusement park's costumed character performers for robberies. Once the performers uncover his plan and he explains why he did it, Fletcher comments "And I would've gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!" To which Jerry (one of the character performers) says "Ruh-roh!"

Dead of Night

  • A Scooby-Doo & Mystery Machine light switch cover appears in Andy's bedroom.

Divorcing Jack

  • The main character, Dan, disguises himself as Shaggy when he goes undercover.

Going in Style

  • When the protagonists are told they need a special getaway car, a photo of the Mystery Machine appears.

Free Enterprise

  • Robert wears Scooby-Doo boxers while he talks on the phone with Mark.

Godzilla (1998)

  • A Scooby-Doo doll is on display in Lucy's bedroom.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

  • The title characters (played by Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes) hitch a ride in a green van owned by four adults, dressed vaguely reminiscent of Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, and Velma, with a Great Dane. It parodies inside jokes, such as Velma being gay. When Jay & Silent Bob introduce "Doobie Snacks", they believe the Great Dane can talk like Scooby, voiced by Mark Hamill.

The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride

  • Timon says "Let me at' em!" and has Pumbaa hold his tail alluding to when Scooby sometimes held Scrappy back after saying the same thing.

Neighbors

  • Two of the pledges are nicknamed "Shaggy" and "Scooby".

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

  • Paul Blart says “Scuba-Dooby-Doo.” the moment before launching a scuba tank at one of the henchman, inside a Rainforest Cafe.

Spies in Disguise

  • TBA

Sydney White

  • After Sydney moves into the attic, which Lenny feels is "spooky", he gives her a Scooby-Doo nightlight.

This Is the End

  • When Baruchel and Robertson leave Franco's house to find some food from the latter's neighbor's, Baruchel asks Robertson if they should split up to cover more ground, with the latter flippantly responding, "Whaddaya think this is, Scooby-Doo?"

Wayne's World

  • Wayne and Garth are unhappy with the ending of the movie, so they redo it by unmasking Benjamin as Old Man Withers.

Novels

Doctor Who

  • The Book of the Still: Rhian mentions Velma to Anji.
  • Forever Autumn: After unmasking the Herkovken-possessed Jim Tozier, Martha imagined that he would say he "would have got away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids."
  • Phobos: A reference is made to the "I would've gotten away with it too..." line.
  • Heart of Stone: The Eleventh Doctor mentions it to Rory.
  • The Last Pharaoh: "Scooby" is used as modern slang, replacing "a clue" with "a Scooby", as in Andy didn't have "a Scooby" how to get home.
  • The Stone House: Ram's suggestion of someone controlling things in a old house, has April call it a Scooby-Doo ending to their investigations.

Meddling Kids: A Novel

  • The name of the novel is taken from a common catchphrase used in the Scooby-Doo franchise whenever a bad guy is caught. The plot of the novel revolves around 4 teenagers and a dog who solve mysteries. It is an adult take on the Scooby-Doo franchise.

Torchwood

  • Slow Decay: Owen called himself a "true" Scooby-Doo fan, while Toshiki said her favorite character was Velma.

Television

30 Rock

  • Sun Tea: Liz Lemon is dressed identical to Velma in a college flashback scene.

Adam Ruins Everything

  • Adam Ruins a Murder: Adam warps into a Scooby-Doo parody.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

  • Principia: Fitz compares Deke Shaw to Scrappy as he's all over the place.

American Dad!

  • Great Space Roaster: One of the "CHIA Pets" grown on the space station is a bust of Shaggy's head.
  • 100 A.D.: A news report on Hayley and Jeff pictures them as Velma and Shaggy, respectively.
  • The Full Cognitive Redaction of Avery Bullock by the Coward Stan Smith: Deputy Director Bullock says Velma's catchphrase, "Jinkies."

Animaniacs

  • Slappy Goes Walnuts: After Slappy Squirrel foils one of Doug the Dog's plans and hits him on the head with a frying pan, Slappy tells Doug, "You remind me of a very young Scooby-Doo."
  • Guardin' the Garden: Slappy Squirrel foils one of a snake's plans, and tells him "You remind me of a very young Scrappy-Doo."
  • Scare-Happy Slappy: Slappy is taking her nephew Skippy Squirrel trick-or-treating on Halloween night, and they approach her enemy Walter Wolf's big haunted-looking house as bats flutter around the roof. Slappy jokes, "Look, Skippy! It's the opening credits to Scooby-Doo," referencing the start of the intro to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
  • Back in Style: Due to Warner Bros. loaning the Warner siblings Yakko (voice of Rob Paulsen), Wakko and Dot out to a parody of Hanna-Barbera after WB's own animation department closing in the 60s, the Warners end up in a Scooby-Doo parody entitled Uhuru, Where Are You? The cast of the show includes Bristly (a parody of Shaggy who says "Zink!" when startled, parodying Shaggy's "Zoinks!"), Phoebe (whom has traits of both Daphne and Velma) and an unnamed parody of Fred voiced by Frank Welker (a regular on the show), along with the Scooby-esque dog Uhuru, whom is only heard howling in this. The theme music accompanying the scene is a nearly spot-on instrumental parody of the theme song to The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and the Warner siblings decide to go for a ride on Uhuru and mess things up. Then Yakko says "Let's play cheesy fake rock songs," referencing the musical chase sequences, and everyone dances to the song before Uhuru and the three human characters collapse. While the Warner siblings are animated in their normal style, the "Uhuru, Where Are You?" characters' animation is more limited and flat as a deliberate reference to Hanna-Barbera's animation style.

Antiques Road Trip

  • Season 16, episode 25: In the middle of the episode, while on the road, Stephanie randomly brings up she used to love Scooby, and also says "Raggy" in Scooby's voice, entertaining competitor Philip Serrell, who also says he used to love Scooby.

Arthur

  • The Rat Who Came to Dinner: Arthur's teacher, Mr. Ratburn, is staying with his family after Ratburn's house had collapsed. It is learnt that Mr. Ratburn is a fan of a cartoon called Spooky-Poo, but with a kangaroo in place of a Great Dane, and the rest of the gang is anthropomorphic animals (like everyone in the Arthur universe) resembling Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy. The music accompanying the cartoon is a loose instrumental parody of the theme to The New Scooby-Doo Movies. Arthur's mom remembers watching it as a child, as a parent in real-life would probably recall.

Austin & Ally

  • Mysteries & Meddling Kids: The episode title is a reference to what many captured villains refer to Mystery Incorporated as, while the episode itself involves a gang of kids solving the mystery of a stolen songbook at a '70s-themed party.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

  • Sokka's Master: Sokka's battle noises while trying out nunchuks sound similar to Scrappy's catchphrase.

Baby Looney Tunes

Boy Meets World

  • Can I Help to Cheer You?: When Eric admits to Tommy that it would be impossible to adopt him, Tommy reminds him of the comparison Eric made of them to being a team like Scooby and Shaggy, and that Scooby didn't think it was impossible to save Shaggy from a well.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Among catching the monster in a barrel, Timmy pulls off the monster's rubber mask to reveal the mysterious black-hooded adult that has been chasing Timmy through the different TV shows (everyone reacts in unison "A guy in a mask?!" similar to how the Mystery Inc. gang would call out the unmasked culprit).

The Scooby gang is checking out an unseen murder scene as the Murder Machine is seen in the background. Fred (voiced by Frank Welker in a guest appearance) says, "Gee whiz, gang. Looks like the killer gutted the victim, strangled him with his own intestines, and then dumped the body in the river!" "Jinkies," Velma says. "What a mystery!"

Stewie wants them to leave, but Fred insists they've been called onto the job. "We do not walk away," he says.

Not knowing who the other swamp monster is, Lois and Carter run, and this leads into a parody of the classic Scooby-Doo chase scenes, complete with actual score music from the original series, the Hanna-Barbera sound effects, and the various chase conventions. The "swamp monster" is eventually caught in a net, and unmasked to reveal Dr. House (of House fame).

After they initially panic, the old man asks "Can I have my face back?" Peter tells him, "No, you're going to jail!"
  • Meg Stinks!: Brian is forced to spend the night outside after a skunk sprays him, and he tells the family how bad it was. He mentions how his nephew Scrappy Brian didn't make it through the night, with a cutaway of Scrappy Brian bravely going to check out what's making the bushes shudder, despite Brian warning him not to.

  • Afterglow: While sitting in a circle in the basement, Fez refers to Eric and Kelso's squabbling as a mystery "suitable for Scooby-Doo and his gang of cartoon teenagers." This leads him to wishing they were "cartoon teenagers", causing the remainder of the scene to play out in an animated form, similar to the classic Hanna-Barbera style. Additionally, in animated form, Hyde says "Zoinks" while the sound effects, music and studio audience laugh track accompanying each joke are nearly identical to those in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Time Squad

  • White House Weirdness: The entire episode is a parody of classic Scooby-Doo episodes, in which the Time Squad members Otto (voiced by Pamela S. Adlon), Buck (Rob Paulsen) and Larry 3000 (Mark Hamill) go back in time to the year 1911 where the White House in Washington D.C. is haunted by monster versions or former presidents. Many Scooby-Doo conventions are parodied and/or featured, such as the Scooby-Dooby doors routine, the elaborate trap to catch the villain, the heroes' frightened reactions, and the joke at the end of the mystery. The actual Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! music score by Ted Nichols is utilized, along with the Hanna-Barbera sound effects.
