History

Harvey Birdman

Shoyu Weenie discovers that Jabberjaw and the Neptunes have stolen their hit single and decide to take their case to a higher power. When he's not available, they settle for Harvey.

Mystery Incorporated

The Neptunes are invited to compete in the annual Teen Mystery Solvers' Convention, a weekend affair where sleuthing teams from around the country compete to solve a mystery. However, the mystery turns out to be the disappearance of the teams themselves. Scooby alongside Jabberjaw, Speed Buggy and Captain Caveman rescue the teen mystery solvers and save the day. In the end, it's revealed to be nothing more than a product of Scooby's dream.

Throughout the episode, with the exception of Jabberjaw, the Neptunes appear in non-speaking roles.

Wacky Reboot

The Neptunes make cameos in the musical number "Eating Time," where they appear in a re-used version of the original Jabberjaw intro.

SCOOB!

The Neptunes appear on a poster in the Funland amusement park arcade.

The Neptunes Sell Out

The Neptunes appeared in a music video set to Pain's "Jabberjaw (Running Underwater)" in which they are portrayed as an underwater ska band, with all of them wearing modern clothing instead of jumpsuits.

Behind the scenes

• The Neptunes use a similar contrast as the Scooby-Doo franchise.
  • This is because of Hanna-Barbera copying the success of the Scooby-Doo franchise which led to shows with mystery-solving groups like the Funky Phantom Crew, Speed Buggs, the Neptunes, and the Ghost Chasers.

In popular culture

• The Neptunes appear in a Kimmel Cartoon segment of a 2017 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, in which the Neptunes are being dubbed over by an episode of The Bachelor.
