Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and its multimedia spin-off franchise has become a pop culture phenomenon since its debut in 1969, with the novelty of dinosaurs and stone-like devices aiding to the life of the "modern Stone Age family, Fred Flintstone shouting for his wife, Wilma, or his iconic catchphrase, "Yabba-dabba-doo," which has become part of the lexicon.

• "Chitty Chitty Death Bang:" With the television transmitter cut, Peter wonders what the Scooby gang is up to, with the scene then cutting to an adult spin-off spoof called The Scooby-Doo Murder Files, where Mystery Incorporated investigates and describes in detail how someone was killed, as well being able to curse, as Fred demonstrates by saying, "Son of a bitch." There's also a van with the words "Murder Machine" written on the side as a reference to The Mystery Machine. Scooby and Velma are voiced by MacFarlane and Lori Allan, respectively, while Frank Welker has a guest spot to reprise his role of Fred.
• "Family Guy Viewer Mail:" A segment parodies the Little Rascals with the adults as kids, which includes a portion of time at a spooky mansion, where the regressed boys also copy the hallway chase gag, featuring Mystery Incorporated in a cameo also running out of one door and into another.
• "Deep Throats:" In a DVD-exclusive scene, when Brian and Stewie sneak into the town hall, they run into Mystery Incorporated, but Stewie gets rid of them by humming their own walk music against them. Fred is voiced by Frank Welker.
• Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story/"Bango Was His Name Oh:" Lois tests Chris on the names of the four characters in Sex and the City, but he can only name three successfully, while he names the fourth Scrappy-Doo.
• "Stewie Loves Lois:" Stewie has a yogurt cup with Scooby's name and apparently Shaggy's eyes have been cut out just the way he likes it.
• "Excellence in Broadcasting:" John McCain and Rush Limbaugh, joined by a Scooby-like dog called Hot Dog, are tipped off by the groundskeeper of a mummy burning the American flag at the swamp, but after investigating they don't find what they're looking for. They set some crazy trap involving a pig, which catches the mummy, who they unmask to be "Old Man" Barney Frank, who yells, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling Republicans!" McCain then suddenly turns to celebrity guests, the Harlem Globetrotters, for the help (just like an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies). One of them tries to give McCain a high five, but McCain being the racist he is, turns him down.
• "Meg Stinks!:" A skunk-sprayed Brian can't handle another night outside due to all the dangers, with his nephew, Scrappy-Brian, not surviving the night. Scrappy-Brian wanted to check out the noise they heard, which turned out to be from a velociraptor that tore Scrappy-Brian to pieces and ate him before walking away. Brian curses to himself and laments how he told his sister it wasn't going to be a good night for him.
• "Stewie, Chris & Brian's Excellent Adventure:" Stewie tests Chris for his history class, by asking him who said, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself"? Chris responds with both Scooby and Shaggy, to which Stewie angrily responds, "It's nobody on Scooby-Doo!"
• "Dog Bites Bear:" Stewie tells Brian that his stuffed bear, Rupert, called Brian "Scooby Don't."
