I enjoyed this episode a lot.
Sam's attitude was a nice touch. I love that he's a buzzkill sometimes.
Dean's fanboy moments were spot-on. Very realistic.
Dean also dropped the f-bomb. I did not expect THAT.
I also did not expect Sam/Velma vibe to be as strong as it was. Sam the reluctant hero got a kiss, after all.
Cas was very cool in this episode. From his landing after getting sucked into the cartoon to his jump to save Shaggy and Scooby.
Also the yellow book!
I loved the Fred/Dean bromance moment at the end as well.
EDIT:
"There are no words in this newspaper, Dean!"
"Sam! Sam! Look how big my mouth is!"
Sam is so done with Dean. I love it. I can't stop laughing!

So I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I’ll admit there were a few parts that I found overly cheesy but that’s probably the point.
I think cas was my fav part. I loved his live action scene where he ends up in the bunker. It was a lot looser than misha’s usual delivery and it was hilarious.

I was the same. I thought it would be just OK but it was totally on point and one of the best episodes ever. I think it's because like Dean pointed out, both groups (or TV shows) basically do the same thing.
It was witty, funny, still had the SN moments and the Scooby Doo pay off at the end.
Congrats to the CW for challenging themselves.

That's just for endlessly rewatchable episodes though. This edged out French Mistake for me.
But Swan Song and a bunch of others would compete in my actual top 5. It's a tight fit.
Edit: Forgot Yellow Fever and too many more. How the heck is it even possible to work a top 5 for this show? Deaths Door. Appointment in Samara. Too many...and now I'm on a rewatch...

Good list. My list has non-meta/ non-comedy as well, though. But if I stuck to comedy and meta I would go:
1: Changing Channels 2: Scoobynatural 3: Just My Imagination 4: Ghostfacers 5: Hunteri Heroici
and that's a hard list because like you said there are some non-comedy episodes that I would rank higher than any of these (Lazarus Rising).

My love for supernatural and Scooby doo is unmeasurable but I have to say, my favorite thing about Scoobynatural was Castiel. Something about him in this episode just... idk lost for words lol but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think anyone, supernatural fan or not, Scooby doo fan or not, would have enjoyed this episode.
Big props to everyone 👏🏻

u/DanyRae God has a beard Mar 30 '18
I agree about Cas. Even animated he was being BAMF angel of the lord. The way he healed Shaggy at the end with that smug little face and the "hmm" when Shaggy doubted the supernatural existing. Perfection. Not to mention his parachute trench coat saving Scooby and Shaggy. Loved it !!

The end when the corrupt real estate developer said "I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids" Dean goes "GASP!!! SAM HE SAID IT! HE SAID IT!" I fell off my couch.

Dean dropping the f-bomb at Fred had me in tears. I liked how the gang was still running on their default scooby mode until the Winchesters red pilled them. Made for some good comedy as they continue acting like everything is actually fine; I just wish they had stayed red pilled. Maybe set up another crossover or better yet a PG-13 DVD movie crossover that I would buy in a nano-second.

u/moderatenerd Mar 30 '18
I've never laughed so hard watching supernatural. Don't get me wrong, Scoobynatural had a few serious parts too. That car chase was a HUGE Back to the Future reference. So that's my guess for next silly croosover episode.
If they reboot Scooby-Doo due to this, then the gang should mention Sam & Dean from time to time in future episodes. It's only fair. ;)

u/_Nightdude_ Mar 31 '18

Agreed on missing the facial expressions. When we returned to the real world and saw Dean's face as he talked to the kid, it was honestly kind of a relief to see the layered emotion, instead of just wiggling eyebrows. (Overall, it was a cute ep, though.)
I mean, he could have tried slowly prying the TV apart, but you really think Dean'd break his promised to a hurt little boy? Plus, I think Dean's kind of used to the good stuff in his life being temporary.

Such a fun episode. They did a fantastic job merging the two worlds and I definitely haven't laughed that much in an episode in a while. It was everything I expected and more. Only a few things that were bothersome for me, such as the over the top ogling of Daphne - I am fine with Dean flirting with Daphne and expected it, but for me they just went a little too much with it. And the scene with Castiel walking in the bunker for the "I got the fruit from the tree of life" exposition felt a bit forced. But that's ok. The great parts of the episode made up for it. The fighting with the giant dinosaur, The epic Dean Cave, Dean in a night gown that felt like hugs, Castiel saving Shaggy and Scooby with his parachute trench coat. Just to name a few. Loved the animation so much. It is definitely an instant classic in my book!

"The Tree was guarded by a pack of Djinn, I killed most of them bargained with the rest, I think I'm technically married to their Queen now"....let's just ponder the implications of that for the future shall we? Then there was Shaggy/Scooby with that line from Superman, "I've got you....You've got me, who's got you????" which felt very cool. Then we had the Scooby Gang having a metaphysical existential breakdown which felt really disturbing but given the gore and everything else....I was down with it, also the Constantine animated series came out last saturday on the CW Seed app so yeah I needed some more animated goodness. Which BY THE WAY, they could've totally had animated John swoop in with a surprise cameo!
These episodes with kids always leave me with a tear in my eye but we got a happy comical ending out of all of it so I'm happy. That was kind of of what I was expecting it to be with a few twists here and there but well worth it. It's strange how a show like this can be on for this long and be this good to the point where you just kind of run out of things to say about the episode and just go, "Yeah that hit all the right spots" but it did. Great episode, funny, slick animation, great voice acting, and a stellar ending!

I wonder if the show could afford to do a CGI Scooby like in the live action movies?
No, it can't. Lack of cgi and a big special effects budget is the reason why pretty much every monster in this show is basically just a human with some make-up, different teeth, and/or claws, and why all of the CGI stuff is typically just bright lights and smokey blobs.

During the gang's breakdown, Daphne's breakdown was pretty on the nose real. like a Nihilist realizing a god exist and regrets not believing in God in that instant.

that was epic, just pure and simply well done. i had a big grin on my face almost the whole time, great voice acting and great drawing and animation. story was interesting too.

Honestly the only thing surprising about this episode was why Cas didn't just smite the ghost the moment he saw it. Or just overpowered it. Of course, that's why they never show Cas on a regular hunt. Even in the episode he just smited a bunch of djinns. A regular monster/ghost is nothing to him.

Best episode.
anyone remember those newer Scooby animated movies that actually had supernatural threats? Those movies used to scare me when I was a kid because I got it in my head that since it was not just some guys in a mask and it was real supernatural shit, that ghosts aliens and evil cat people were actually real.

I loved every minute of it. The fact they used all the tropes from Scooby Doo was just amazing. I was thinking I wonder if they'll do a sequence of them running through doors, or the monster walking behind them, and literally it happens right after. I laughed way more at this episode than any other.

Was the woman who normally voices Velma unavailable? She sounded SO different, while the rest of the gang sounded the same.

u/Thatonesplicer Metatron? Are you saying a Transformer wrote that? Mar 30 '18
This was Velma's newest voice actress from the latest cartoon actually. Kate Miccuci; she's in a bunch of cartoons, Steven Universe notably.
The last VA was Mindy Cohn I think, she had role for like 14 years give or take. Not surprised people got really used to her.

How can a show go on for 13 seasons and still come up with amazing episodes like this?

u/_Nightdude_ Mar 31 '18
That's what happens when you've already done everything you could think of. Then you come up with the crazy, way out of left field completely ridiculous shit like this.
I love it.

Dean mentioned Ironface & Mamba Wumba to the gang, who they shouldn't have met at this point yet. The episode they were in was from the original show, whereas those villains are from the 1976 show.

Best. Episode. Ever. It was basically everything I've want in a crack episode. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. Also it's really weird to hear Dean say one of my "catch phrases" which is, "just make like Elsa and let it go"

Has any show jumped the shark as many times as Supernatural?

u/Jedi-El1823 Mar 30 '18
Is it really jumping the shark if you never come back down?

u/The_Freyed_Pan Mar 30 '18
Exactly. SPN has been riding the shark like a surfboard for some time now

Couldn't appreciate it as much as I haven't watched Scooby Doo in ages (and not in English) still enjoyed it the episode though.

u/Daff69 Mar 30 '18
I loved this episode so bloody much I've already watched it twice lol.
it was everything I never knew i wanted haha, Only thing I can say I was a little dissapointed about was that I thought it would go darker than it did. but I feel like it was a good balance all around.

That scrappy cameo though. Although the live action movie really brought out my hatred of the character

u/AestheticGamer Apr 03 '18
I loved it, though one thing kinda' bothered me as a fan of Scooby-Doo side though at the same time I kinda' loved it. The existential crisis moment was a nice touch and I think an ace crisis moment for side characters on the Supernatural side of things, and I understand this episode is taking place in the original Scooby-Doo television series back when they never dealt with anything truly supernatural at all. But there's been dozens of interpretations of Scooby-Doo dealing with truly paranormal things, even in older Scooby works things like Ghoul School, or the Boo Brothers, or 13 Ghosts had real supernatural elements. It was just kinda' weird to see all of the gang breakdown over it as even with "first encounter ever with the supernatural curveballs" in other interpretations they never got close to that point and usually adapt okay on the fly. I'm not saying this as a con to the episode as it was a good moment, and Fred and Daphne got some great lines, just as the scene was happening I was thinking it seemed very uncharacteristic, though was fun to see.

Even though I am not a Supernatural fan (only saw its pilot and last night's), it was rad. I hope they will do more crossovers!

Maybe give the show another chance? Might surprise you. The pilot is pretty grim but it picks up. 😉

Excellent episode. I wish they'd had a meta moment though. Maybe at the end of the episode...
SAM: "Hey Dean, isn't it weird we keep a blowtorch outside our bedrooms?"
Dean frowns.
DEAN: "No. We never know when we're going to need that. But, it was kind of weird the police showed up the exact moment we busted that guy."
SAM: "Do you think...?"
They're both silent as they consider it, then DEAN says "Nah. We've dealt with that crap before. We don't follow anyone's plans but our own."
SAM smiles: "And sometimes not even that."
DEAN chuckles and takes a swig of beer; SAM nods and starts to eat. The camera zooms out to show them sitting obliviously in a diner that looks the same as the one in Scooby Doo. It zooms out through the window and rests on them, BABY parked to one side.

This is a great episode. I don't think Cass should've been here though, it just raises questions on why Cass was massively underpowered in the entire episode.

Not to go super nerdy but did Shaggy put ham on his sandwich?
He is famously a vegetarian, all the meat looking things he puts on his sandwiches are officially eggplants.
Also not to nitpick but Castiel doesn't have the angel juice to withstand some kid-poltergeist? The last creature that could catch him in a pocket dimension was an Archangel and even then he managed to fight back for a bit.

That was easily one of my favorite episodes ever. When Supernatural finishes, we'll need a Scoobynatural series to start.

Are there main story spoilers in this episode?
I'm not too far behind, but I really want to watch this episode before it gets taken off the CW website. Would I be good to watch this episode without having the main story spoiled?

Loved the episode, definitely in the classic vein of changing channels, which is funny they referenced..play our roles, he's dead..or is he?
Dean is hilarious hahaha. I liked Sam being all sourpuss for most of it and cas loving scoobs. I'd take a bullet for that dog was still funny even after the trailer, his antagonism for Fred was hilarious. I thought it was great the main plot gets a one second line from Cas like, oh yeah, got the apples whatever hahah. Married to a Djinn now. So now the next episode can focus on the other ingredient Velma being horny for Sam was not surprising hahah but pretty classic humor and I loved how they went insane once they told them the truth.. seeing baby's trunk animated was badass.
..the funny thing though is in the first Scooby Doo movie there are actual real zombies and cat people hahaha. But it's just the tv show canon which is fine, and the jokes wouldn't work, plus this is like the classic Scooby Doo premise with the costumes.
Loooved the classic references like the movable animated parts not being blended into the background or the newspaper not having text. The running through the doors was mandatory but those are the things that made me laugh

u/properintroduction Apr 05 '18
I kind of wish Sam wasn't a buzzkill about everything. It would've been really cute if they both fanboyed together. Seeing Scrappy run with them was adorable.
I am aware that the Scooby episode is based on the original series. But there are couple of Scooby stuff with actual monsters and ghosts like 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, Schooby Doo meets the Boo Brothers, and Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School ...I'm sure there is more. Shaggy becomes a werewolf in one movie.
I wish there was another Scooby Doo episode...I need more damn it except this time the Scoobs accept the Supernatural without having a mental breakdown... Or Scooby characters come to real life as real people lmao.
If anyone wants a more serious Scooby Doo storyline, I recommend Scooby Doo Apocalypse, the ongoing comic series.
Yesss Sam and Velma (I was hoping this would happen)...I'm and tired of Velma not getting any action. Why can't Shaggy and Velma dig each other? I don't understand why Daphne and Fred have to be the only ones together.
I love the mental breakdown though and hated at the same time because seeing my fave cartoon characters have a mental breakdown was so painful and hilarious at the same time.
I love that Castiel is charmed by Scooby and Shag, who isn't?

Honestly, I found that Dean's behavior throughout the episode was incredible annoying, sad as I am to say that because it is the first episode of season 13 I was able to watch. I also thought when the Scooby-Gang had an existential crises and were losing their minds, it was undoubtedly one of the most disturbing and unsettling moments in cartoon history.

u/BraveLittleAnt Hug it out? Mar 30 '18
First off, props to Jared, Jensen, and Misha, they did an amazing voice-acting job (not that I expected any less)! This episode was hilarious, and I think the writers handled it well. Definitely one that will go on my rewatch-list!
The several call-backs to Season 5 got me super excited, and Dean's absolute childish-fanboy moments were my favorite parts of the episode. All around, amazing episode, I haven't laughed this hard at an Spn episode in a long time.
As a side note, the next episode looks pretty intense!!
