Notes/trivia

• The gang had very little to do with defeating the villain in this episode. The invader simply had the bad luck to rush in when a piano was about to be dropped.

Cultural references

• As the title of this episode suggests, it is a parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, where the idea of pod clones was also done.
• That's Impossible is a parody of the reality show, That's Incredible, which debuted the same year as this episode.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• The apostrophe in the That's Impossible sign is missing.
• Shaggy's lips aren't moving when he says "That's impossible!" in unison with Scooby (about the karate plant).
• When the Alien was dazed from the grand piano falling on him, the color of his eyes changed twice.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
