It came out during Grant Morrison's Batman run that existed on the premise that every single Batman story was in some way true. So Bat-Mite was having a bit of a moment in general circa 2008.

New Fred should really have an orange t-shirt, but I get not wanting to make his color scheme encroach on Velma.

"It seems easy enough to, you know, not depict a relatively obscure territorial line that breaks international law in a movie for seven-year-olds, but hey—what do we know? Maybe Dreamworks has its reasons, reasons just as opaque and inscrutable as the decision to make another animated yeti movie in the first place."

'inscrutable' is an interesting word choice here

Exploration is ill-advised.

Fun part is this is a genuine crossover where the Scooby gang freak the gently caress out when they find out actual deadly monsters exist, and that cartoon physics aren't applying to them anymore. (The Supernatural gang end up dropped into a specific first-series episode)

Though Scooby and Shaggy are more "I told you, I loving told you they were real!"

The funny part is the implication through a few characters' comments is that the regular Scooby Gang also exists in the Venture Bros world. Then again, Mystery Inc made it clear the gang exists in many incarnations, one of which can be a murderous gang of vagrants based on various famous lunatics.

have there been references to them existing in-world? i remember references to scooby doo as a show(triana mentioning hank dresses like fred from scooby-doo, colonel gentleman wanting a scooby doo board game, etc.), but i don't remember them also being in the universe ala 'action johnny'

'Action Jonny' mentions getting a STD from Velma (or the other way around) and the Pirate Captain says he met Scooby-Doo. (Not surprising since he's a parody of Scooby-Doo villains)

It's maybe like how most people know Doc from The Rusty Venture Show.

We're not talking enough about about GREEN EGGS AND HAM on Netflix! I'm about halfway through and it is gorgeously, verging on needlessly (although who's complaining?), well-produced in the animation and design departments. Pascal Campion, whose work I've followed since I went to animation school, is the art director, and it shows in the fantastic use of lighting and colour. I have not seen hand-drawn character animation this warm and elaborate in a very long time, especially for TV. You can practically see the pencil texture boiling on the lines.

Aside from the animation, which would be reason enough to see it, there's a lot of other interesting creative choices going on. Instead of playing the characters and plot more or less straight from the source material, as in other Seuss adaptations (Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax), it's like they just borrowed the playful art style and nonsensical wordplay, and turned to Pulp Fiction and Edward Hopper for everything else: So far the show has been paced along a road trip through funhouse mirror Americana, a world filled with greasy spoon diners, seedy motels, desert highways, scrapyards, farmhouses, carnivals and corn fields. Other stops/gags include desperate roadside attractions like "The World's Smallest Thermometer", and a picturesque small town called South Shvizelton that has a water tower displaying the motto "Better Than North Shvizelton for 52 Years". Under the hyperactive, manic-pixie-dream veneer, most of the characters are losers, sad-sacks and criminals. It's the kind of "kid's cartoon" that references everything from Les Miserable to Shawshank Redemption without being too overt about it; the references aren't not just cheap one-offs, but worked into the story in clever ways, and there's a good mix of mostly character-driven verbal and visual humour.

I've run out of things to say, except that if you love hand-drawn 2D animation, you should see this pronto no matter how annoying and non-consensual you find Sam's character. Just watch it with the audio off or something (although the VOs are great too, especially Michael Douglas as a perpetually beleaguered grump with broken dreams). Like others in this thread, I have no idea how or why this got made, but I'm very glad it did.

It's really funny how Johnny Bravo fits into that dynamic. I remember the Cartoon Network bumper where he was dating Velma and even proposed to her, but she turned him down.

Feels like a theme with Johnny is that girls actually really like him when he just acts like a normal human being for five minutes rather than relentless pick-up lines. People could probably learn from that. Something similar to Rusty Venture.

How about the one where Scooby Doo ends up in the Black Lodge, meets the man from another place, and provides a plausible (insofar as a Scooby Doo story can be plausible) explanation for his absence in the Twin Peaks revival.

Also his lack of pickiness helps too, he's dated numerous movie monsters. His most successful dates were with a Werewolf and a Vampire, although the latter he accidentally scared off by having garlic on his pasta and the former he got freaked out by a weird joke where on wednesdays she turned into a fat bald male stamp collector.

I really liked how they worked the full rant/quote in as a response and rejection to everything Sam I Am represented to Guy am I. It managed to pack it with such vitriol and anger that you really felt it. It is the nadir of Sam and Guy's friendship, almost the breaking point, and in a rant that quotes 4/5ths of the book Guy just rips into him. Not just angry, angry for a good, justified reason. Then of course he goes a step too far. I also like that Sam remains a manuplative person even after his face turn, by manipulating the villain with the phony chickaraff so he'll not follow them.

Yeah, the running theme of Johnny Bravo (in so much as a gag cartoon has a theme) is the only thing standing in the way of Johnny getting a date is his own bad behavior. When he acts like a regular human person and treats women like regular human people they're actually interested in spending time with him, but then he goes right back to his dumbass macho ways. There was even an episode where he turned into a woman and, after getting harassed the way he harasses women, he realized "Hey! The way I treat women is wrong! I should be more respectful and change my ways!" he then promptly forgot this lesson because that's how gag cartoons work.

Anyway, the whole Scooby Doo and Johnny Bravo cross over episode is golden: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6cfcdq

it kinda reveals that it's using the other characters in the Hanna-Barbarra-verse but does not reveal that Marky Mark is the voice of Blue Falcon, Ken Jeong is Dynomutt, and Tracy Morgan is Captain Caveman.

It's a show about toxic masculinity made before the term even existed, it's great. It also had a sort of reverse-Flanderization where as the show went on Johnny became less about getting girls and more just about being a vain idiot who gets into hijinks with his wacky friends and their proto-Family Guy guest stars.

Neat. Sweet. Petite.

there was also an episode where a PUA was teaching Johnny the ropes about being 'sincere and sensitive' and then go 'Can't do it? Lie through your teeth like I am!' - and Johnny was appalled, he may be a sleazebag, but he rather get into a relationship honestly.
