Mystery Machine with Bugs Bunny (2023)

For Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they celebrated by licensing a range of Looney Tunes Funko Pops with a Scooby-Doo motif, which included a vinyl collectible of Bugs Bunny (wearing Fred's clothes) riding the Mystery Machine.

Behind the scenes

In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Velma had a motorized skateboard with the colors of the Mystery Machine.
Shaggy wore swimming trunks with the Mystery Machine colors in the film Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode "She Sees Sea Monsters by the Sea Shore."

In popular culture

In the Timon and Pumbaa episode "Werehog of London," a fortune teller warns Timon and Pumbaa that no one is safe from the curse of the werehog, not even "those meddling teens and their pesky dog," and then the camera reveals an orange and blue van resembling the Mystery Machine that has been abandoned after it was knocked into a lampost.
In the 2001 film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jay and Silent Bob are greeted by a shady group of teens driving in a familiar looking van.
In The Powerpuff Girls episode "Midnight at the Mayor's Mansion," the chase through the hallway doors is a parody of chases like those in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The Mayor even says Shaggy's catchphrase, "Zoinks," while passing the screen inside a pink van reminiscent of the Mystery Machine.
A van resembling the Mystery Machine pops up as a photo when the main characters are thinking of a getaway car in the 2017 film Going in Style.

Timon & Pumbaa want to steer clear of this van.
Very rusty, but its standing there menacingly.
Maybe too flashy for three old bank robbers.
