00:00Welcome to Mirrors Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best parodies

00:10of Scooby-Doo!

00:1110.

00:12Aqua Teen Hunger Force 100

00:29When Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad are sent into an alternate universe in which they

00:34become the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad, it's clear that the Scooby-Doo vibes are there.

00:39First there's the classic orange and green font style, but what really enhances this

00:44parody is the theme song.

00:53Besides that, Aqua Teen Hunger Force adds some creativity with the name, Meaty Meaty

00:58Moo, as well as its own unique version of the Mystery Machine.

01:15It's on screen briefly, but if you pay close attention, you can see the words, The Danger

01:21Cart.

01:249.

01:26Psych!

01:27In Plain Fright

01:28It's not easy incorporating references to an animated series into a live-action show,

01:39without going too over the top, but that's what the detective comedy-drama Psych manages

01:44to do.

01:56The series integrates Scooby-Doo references in several episodes.

02:00While it perhaps could be viewed more as a homage at times, there are moments where it

02:04could better be classified as a parody.

02:12In the episode, In Plain Fright, Sean and Gus find themselves immersed in a mystery

02:17case at a theme park.

02:19There are explicit allusions to Scooby-Doo, along with the same spooky atmosphere and

02:24silly energy.

02:318.

02:35Johnny Bravo, Bravo Doobie Doo

02:45This Scooby-Doo-inspired episode of Johnny Bravo deserves a Bravo itself, after Johnny's

02:50car breaks down, he needs a lift.

02:53Luckily, a van comes by and stops for him.

02:56Inside is none other than the Scooby Gang.

02:58At first, Scoob, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma are silent as Johnny explains the problem.

03:15But when they hear spooky house, they're all in.

03:21As they arrive at Johnny's destination, his aunt's mansion, the episode continues to poke

03:27fun at the gang's obsession with all things spooky.

03:367.

03:40Saturday Night Live, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sabrina Carpenter

03:48It should be no surprise to see the home of parody skits, Saturday Night Live, make an

03:53appearance here.

03:54The season 49 finale featured Sabrina Carpenter as Daphne, guest host Jake Gyllenhaal as Fred,

04:01and the SNL cast members Mikey Day and Sarah Sherman as Shaggy and Velma.

04:06The costumes and wigs were spot on.

04:09If you're looking for a group Halloween costume idea, you're looking at it.

04:25The skit poked playful fun at the show's theme that people aren't always who they

04:30seem to be.

04:31In the process, it took the G-rated animated series and made it much less kid-friendly.

04:366.

04:41Family Guy, Various

04:50Of course, the all-time classic animated sitcom had to parody Scooby-Doo, and just once wouldn't

04:56be enough.

04:57Family Guy has featured several such scenes.

05:01For example, in the season 1 episode, I Never Met the Dead Man, we get to glimpse a TV airing

05:06a series called The Scooby-Doo Murder Files.

05:09Family Guy spoofs Scooby-Doo with the use of much darker, more violent language while

05:14describing the case.

05:20The crew's appearances are well-integrated into the Family Guy animation style.

05:25In other episodes, season 4's Deep Throats, Stewie randomly comes across the Scooby gang,

05:30and has to use musical means to get them to leave.

05:505.

05:51Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Shaggy Busted

05:55When it comes to Shaggy's personality, one trait that fans have strongly associated

06:08with him is stoner energy.

06:10Of course, this was never explicitly stated nor displayed in the original kid-friendly

06:15Scooby-Doo series.

06:17But leave it to the Adult Swim series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law to fully bring that

06:22element into play.

06:24In the episode Shaggy Busted, Birdman takes on a case to defend Shaggy and Scooby after

06:29they're arrested for driving under the influence.

06:44He has his work cut out for him as their constant hunger and giggles don't exactly attest to

06:49their innocence.

06:50The Prosecutor's hilarious slideshow doesn't help their case either.

07:114.

07:12The Venture Brothers, Viva Los Muertos

07:20The Scooby gang is reimagined as the sketchy Groovy Gang in the Adult Swim series The Venture

07:27Brothers.

07:28In the season 2 episode, Viva Los Muertos, they decide to investigate the Venture compound.

07:35The Groovy Gang members are basically extreme versions of the characters we know and love,

07:40with a pointed resemblance to certain infamous real-life criminals.

07:54They're into much darker humour, Val less smokes now, and Scooby refuses to reveal to

07:59anyone besides Shaggy that he can speak, which has apparently driven Shaggy mad.

08:09Those do not look like Scooby Snacks either.

08:233.

08:24Supernatural, Scooby-Natural

08:40Praised for its nostalgic humour, Scooby-Natural gave fans of both Scooby-Doo and Supernatural

08:47a treat.

08:48With its spooky mysteries, the world of Scooby-Doo is a perfect fit for Monster Hunter's Sam,

08:53Dean, and Castiel.

08:54The three are sucked into a TV, specifically into the Scooby-Doo episode, A Night of Fright

08:59is No Delight.

09:08The episode pokes fun at Shaggy's enormous appetite, and they team up with Mystery Inc.

09:13on a case.

09:25When the Supernatural trio react to a shocking discovery, their responses do a great job

09:29of imitating the Scooby Gang.

09:352.

09:40Futurama, Saturday Morning Fun Pit

09:47Bendy Boo and the Mystery Crew is what they call the gang in Futurama's Scooby-Doo parody.

09:54What's great about this episode is that, while it reimagines the famous cartoon that

09:58came before it, Futurama maintains its own distinctive animation style.

10:09There's no better example of that than Robot Bender as Scooby.

10:13Futurama continues to spoof by poking fun at the gang's mystery fetish and Shaggy's

10:18food obsession.

10:28On the lookout for food, where else would they go other than a spooky-looking house?

10:33They mog Shaggy, implying he's baked.

10:36That would explain the munchies.

10:45Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

10:49South Park, Korn's groovy pirate ghost mystery.

10:53Parodies the Scooby Gang's navigation skills.

11:03Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back puts a funny adult spin on Scooby-Doo.

11:19Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, Various, pays homage to earlier versions of Scooby-Doo

11:25while mixing in satiric elements.

11:32Teen Titans Go!

11:33The Cruel Giggling Ghoul, pokes fun at Shaggy and Scooby's eating habits.

12:12This television special aired on Halloween.

12:15After the mystery machine picks up an animated Gary Coleman, things immediately go awry.

12:27Apparently Fred wasn't aware of the gas gauge.

12:30Luckily, Gary Coleman just so happens to have a container of gas on him.

12:35How handy!

12:36He has a spare tyre as well.

12:38It just gets funnier and funnier as the Scooby Gang tries to find excuses to stop at various

12:44spooky places.

12:51Night of the Living Doo humorously pokes fun at the excessive lengths the Scooby Gang go

12:56to to immerse themselves in spooky situations.

13:07The parody also involves a mystery, of course, which comically satires the crew's mystery

13:13obsession.

13:22Let us know in the comments which of these Scooby-Doo parodies you would like to watch.
