* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "Sour Pickles" contains a ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' parody that features Creator/JuneForay as the [[{{Expy}} expies]] {{exp|y}}ies of Rocky and Natasha.



* The ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' episode "The Cartoon" featured a parody of fellow Disney series ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' with Creator/JasonRitter, Creator/KristenSchaal and Creator/AlexHirsch voicing the [[{{Expy}} expies]] of their respective characters. Said parody was also partly a ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' cartoon, hence why Creator/FrankWelker voices the narrator.
