History RecycledScript / WesternAnimation

** The crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a similar plot to "Members Only". An older group of superheroes acts condescending towards the Powerpuff Girls, though in this case it's due to their age rather than gender. It also has elements of ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie'' with Mojo Jojo commanding an army of simians.]

* The episode "The Crying Dame" has a similar plot to the ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' episode "Play It Again, D.W." where a young character has an item that sings (a CD in the latter episode, a singing toy in the former) and drives their older sibling(s) crazy with it.

* The episode "Yug Ylimaf" has a similar plot to the ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats1991'' episode "Back To School" where time starts going backwards and the main characters have to stop it. The only difference is in the ''Family Guy'' episode, things were going backwards for real (because of Stewie's time machine being broken) while in ''Rugrats (1991)'', the babies THOUGHT the going backwards was happening because of a series of coincidences kicked off by Didi rewinding a Lipschitz VHS.

** "Undie Pressure" is similar to the ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' episode "Willpower Smurfs" and ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode "All Eds Are Off" as both are about the characters entering a bet to see which of them can go without their annoying habits the longest for a reward.

** The episode "King Crab" recycles the plot of the ''Series/AdventuresInWonderland'' episode "The Bunny Who Would Be King" from two years earlier. In both, the character who works as the monarch's head servant (Sebastian/the White Rabbit) is visited by family (Sebastian's parents/the Rabbit's brother [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Rabbit DeNiro]]). Unfortunately, they're under the mistaken impression that ''he'' is the king (though the White Rabbit actually lied that he was king in his letters, while Sebastian just wrote that he's "in charge of everything" and his parents misunderstood). So he and his friends create an elaborate scheme to make it look like he really is king and to keep the family member(s) from meeting the real monarch (King Triton/the Queen of Hearts).

** The episode "Bonky Fever" has a similar plot to the ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats1991'' episode "Angelica's Birthday" where it's a character's birthday and they're worried about growing up, so they start to behave like someone younger than their age.

** The episode "Doug's Movie Madness" is similar to the ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' episode "Mom Know What P.A. Did Two Knights Ago". Both center around the main character seeing an R-rated movie that their parents forbid them from seeing which results in them having nightmares and inadvertently revealing to their parents that they saw the movie and getting in trouble for it.

* Many cartoons made by Creator/DePatieFrelengEnterprises are recycled from old ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' scripts, one instance being that "Greedy for Tweety" was remade as ''WesternAnimation/TheAntAndTheAardvark'' short "From Bed to Worse". Worth noting that the studio was largely made up of ex-Looney Tunes staff.

** He recycled the idea of Kukulkan being an [[AncientAstronauts Ancient Astronaut]] from the ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeriesS2E5HowSharperThanASerpentsTooth How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth]]" in his script for the ''Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle'' episode "Tarzan and the Space God". Like TAS, the series was also made by Creator/{{Filmation}}.

** "Olive Oyl for President" had the exact same script as "WesternAnimation/BettyBoop for President", replacing Betty with Olive, of course.

* Both ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' have a Main/ThanksgivingEpisode called "The Turkey Who Came To Dinner" where the main characters befriend a live turkey and try to hide it to protect it from being cooked for Thanksgiving dinner.

** "[[Recap/ArthurS5E2KidsAreFromEarthParentsAreFromPlutoNervesOfSteal Nerves of Steal]]" has a similar plot to the ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' episode "Gus and Misdemeanor", ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' episode "Stealing the Show!", and the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode "Sticky Feathers Duck", as all four episodes revolve around characters shoplifting items from a store and feeling guilt over it, with each of them stealing a different item; Buster steals a hot new toy he wants, Gus steals some Beany McGum, one of the Pigs shoplifts comic books, and Plucky and Hamton steal an ACME Super Duper Munch N' Crunch bar (with almonds).

** "[[Recap/ArthurS5E2KidsAreFromEarthParentsAreFromPlutoNervesOfSteal Nerves of Steal]]" has a similar plot to ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' episode "Stealing the Show!" as both episodes revolve around characters shoplifting items from a previously never-before-seen-or-mentioned drug store and feeling guilt over it, with Buster stealing a hot new toy he wants in the former and one of the Pigs shoplifting comic books in the latter.

** "Germophobia" has a similar plot to the ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' episode "Sid and Germs" as both revolve around a character who normally does disgusting things (Buster and Sid) getting freaked out by germs and becoming paranoid neat freaks as a result.
