References....

Okeedokees, in ep 302, where Randy had that whole song sequence in his imagination, is that supposed to be a reference to Scooby Doo? Or to Josie And The Pussycats? I've been debating this for awhile now. Any insights? :)

At first I thought it was Scooby Doo, but when they showed the band thing I realized it was a Monkees reference.

I agree with Toni. I think the chase scenes were pure Scooby Doo, but the singing part (with their heads in hearts and stars and crap) was pure Monkees. Hell all that was missing was little go-go girls and they could have added a Banana Splits appeal to it!

I think it would have been funnier if they showed Mr. Marsh doing that little dance Davy Jones does in that song "Sleepy Jean".

Josie and the Pussycats... they were the band always getting chased around, and played instruments sometimes before, during, and after chase scenes.

J & t P took place in the same world as Scooby Doo, though... Scooby and the gang loved a good chase, but they couldn't play instruments.

I still think it's Scooby Doo. Why? The guy chasing them with the mask. Plus, didn't Scooby Doo have a band?

There was never a band on Scooby Doo. It's a Josie and the Pussycats reference. They were a band, and had at least 2 chase scenes like that every episode.

I think it's probably an homage to cheesy 60s shows in general, like Scooby Doo and the Monkees.

I dunno, I was wondering about that, too. I recognized the part where the guy/thing chased them from door-to-door, but I couldn't place it. At first, I thought it might've come from The Partridge Family, then the old Donny & Marie show. Now that you mention it, it probably was from one of those campy '70s cartoons.

It recalls both, as well as just about every other bad Scooby Doo ripoff.

And the Barbrady "T! T is for turtle!" scene is a Sesame Street ref. Don't tell me I'm the only one who remembers that wierd red talking typwriter.

We both got a laugh out of Barbrady's "T! T is for turtle!" and recognized it as a Sesame Street ref, but didn't remember exactly what. Thanks for the reminder! ::grin::

I don't know how old you are, but around the time "Scooby-Doo" and "Jose and the Pussycats" were on the air for the first time, every cartoon show featured the cast singing a cheesey song of some sort for some weird reason. I guess I'd call it an "Homage".

Ahh :) I wouldn't know that, 'cause I'm only 15. ;P I only thought it was just those two cartoons that were like that. :)
