List any Parodies and Homages You Notice During the Show Here

Here's one that I just HAVE to mention: In "The Secret Serum", Daphne and Velma are following Daphne's mom. When they lose her, Velma says, "She's a freak. She's the fastest mom alive." Can anyone guess what that's a reference to?

Please reply

I think Daphne is humming an old Scooby Doo theme in her bedroom in the Alice May episode? It might not be that episode but I do recall that.

The student body president in "Where Walks Aphrodite" looks like Obama.

Numerous Vincent Price references in "Nightfright", for obvious reasons -

* Allusions to the B-movie bit parts he often got towards the end of his career.

* "The Mutant Bee" was a reference to "The Fly".

* One of the other movies was similar to "The Abominable Doctor Phibes".

* The organ in Van Ghoul's house was also a Phibes reference (or a zillion other horror films).

* The story he tells about his confrontation with Cecil B. DeMille apparently refers to "The Ten Commandments", although the story is obviously not true.

It had nothing to do with Vincent Price, but one of the movie characters that attacks them in the house looked like Stephen King's "It".

Pretty obscure reference in the latest episode "Menace of the Manticore", Hot Dog Water's father is named Winslow Fleach which is awfully like Winslow Leech, the villain/hero in the cult classic Phantom of the Paradise.

-Archie Andrews and Chuck Clayton are referenced at the beginning of "Where walks Aphrodite," when the love potion is released at the soccer game, a redheaded soccer player is shown arguing with a black player with the initials "C.C." on his jersey. The black player even looks just like Chuck.

-In "the dragon's secret" Mai Lee looks just like Kate in Gremlins 2. Also a mogwai is shown in the chinese shop.

Not one hundred percent sure about this but Night Ranger from the Ghost of Dead Justice episode kind of looks like Dick Van Dyke with that mustache.

I always thought nobodies were doomed to fade into darkness...

This one is perhaps very subtle: the character designs of the original Mystery, Incorporated of "twenty years ago" appear to be based on the cast/characters of "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", but with the Zelda Gilroy character's race changed to become the African-American Cassidy Williams. The resemblance of young Judy and young Ricky to "Dobie" actors Tuesday Weld and Bob Denver is particularly striking.

This is especially fitting since the designs of the Scooby leads were also, according to former Scooby Writer Mark Evanier, based upon the "Dobie Gillis" characters.

Basically, by this formulation:

Fred = Dobie = Brad of the original Mystery, Inc
Daphne = Thalia = Judy of the original Mystery, Inc
Velma= Zelda = Cassidy of the original Mystery, Inc
Shaggy = Maynard G Krebs = Ricky of the original Mystery, Inc

If this is still going....
Season 2, Episode 1; "The Night the Clown Cried', the title seems a play on 'The Day the Clown Cried', a movie notoriously considered too bad to be released,
Scooby bouncing a baseball where he was put for trying to escape reminded me of the end of the movie "The Great Escape',
and the fake zombie donut shop's 'Dawn of the Doughnuts' seemed to me a reference to the movie 'Dawn of the Dead'.

"So is anybody working this case besides the Masked Avenger?"
