OK, this is more like a Simpsons fanfic (not only am I a hard core Scooby-Doo fan, but also a hard-core Simpsons fan), but SD:MI plays a prominent role throughout. This is based off one of my favorite classic Simpsons episodes, "Itchy and Scratchy and Marge," when Marge protests the violence of "Itchy and Scratchy." (Though in this Simpsons episode, the violence is tame when compared to the violence on SD:MI and the much later, more gory "Itchy and Scratchy" episodes!) It did give me an idea for a parody script, though...
The scene begins with Marge, preparing her famous pork chops, and Homer offers to build a spice rack...
In the family room, Bart and Lisa and Maggie are watching “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated.” The opening sequence plays with eerie instrumental music as it shows the semi-redesigned Mystery Inc. characters being introduced. Homer walks past in front of the TV.
Bart: Hey, down in front!
Homer: Shut up, boy.
The episode is called “Grim Judgement,” and features an evil ghost in a pilgrim outfit named Hebediah Grim, attacking girls and smashing cars with a giant mallet, saying they would be “judged.” The sky turns red as he attacks, and the sound of thunder accompanies each mallet hit. Maggie watches, sucking her pacifier in a somewhat unusual manner.
Downstairs, we see Homer go into his basement workshop and go to a bookshelf…
Homer: I knew all this stuff would come in handy someday!
…
We see a nice-looking spice rack on a page, which then moves down to reveal Homer’s crummy attempt at building a spice rack.
Homer: (gasps, then picks up spice rack) Wow…
On a step above Homer, Maggie picks up a mallet and lunges toward Homer. The “Psycho” theme starts playing on echoey violins!
Homer: Huhh?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
With one blow, Maggie hits Homer on the head with the mallet and takes off. Parodying the famous “Psycho” shower scene, Homer grabs a tablecloth like the shower curtain, which pops off from the nails and falls down, and a bucket of red paint spills and flows down the drain like the blood. We slowly zoom out on Homer lying down from an above view…
Later, Marge tends to Homer lying on the couch with the top of his head bandaged; his head rests on a pillow on Bart’s lap, as Bart and Lisa try to watch TV.
Bart: Hey dad, can you move your head?
Homer: (whining) No I can’t; it’s broken.
Marge: (picks up Maggie) Hmm, where would an innocent child get the idea to attack her father with a mallet?
Marge places Maggie in front of the TV as another episode of “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated” starts up. This time, it’s a rerun of “Escape From Mystery Manor,” and in it, a crazed old hermit named Danny Darrow tries to kill the Scooby-Doo gang investigating an old mansion. Bart and Lisa laugh at it, and then a scene comes up where Danny tries to stab the gang with a fire poker, thinking they are going to steal from him. At sight of this, Maggie picks up a pencil, and as the shrill echoey “Psycho” theme plays, she lunges toward Homer, attempting to stab him with the pencil.
Homer: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Marge: No, Maggie, bad baby! (picks up Maggie)
Homer: Keep her away from me Marge. She’s got that crazy look in her eyes again!
Marge watches as Maggie (now without her bow for some reason) miming the stabbing the “Scooby-Doo” villain is doing.
Marge: (angrily) So TELEVISION’S responsible!
Marge shuts off the set, and Bart and Lisa protest angrily.
Marge: Well you won’t be watching these Scooby-Doo cartoons anymore, EVER!
Lisa: But Mom, if you take our cartoons away we’ll grow up without a sense of humor and be robots!
Bart: Really? What kind of robots?
Later, at the school playground, Nelson and Milhouse console Bart.
Nelson: I heard about the cartoons. Tough break, man!
Bart: Thanks, Nelson.
Milhouse: Hey! Why don’t you watch “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Inc.” over at MY house?
Bart: Hey… that’s just crazy enough to work!
Back at the house, Homer is talking on the phone while lying on the couch, as Santa’s Little Helper digs into a potato chip bag…
Homer: You heard me! I won’t be in for the rest of the week. I told you! My baby beat me up! Oh, it’s not the worst excuse I ever thought of! Wise guy. (hangs up)
Marge: (groans) I wonder why Bart and Lisa are so late getting home from school?
At the Van Houten house, another “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated” episode plays, this time it’s “The Night the Clown Cried – Part 1.” Bart and Milhouse laugh as the large Crybaby Clown drives around in his motorized baby buggy, terrorizing citizens and destroying things. At the same time, Lisa and Janey are laughing at the show while watching it at her house as her mom walks by, smiling. Back at the Simpsons house, Marge is seated in front of the TV, taking notes on the show…
Homer: (gulps down beer) Hey, how come you can watch cartoons but the kids can’t?
Marge: Because.
Homer: Because why?
Marge: Because I said so.
Homer: Because you said so why?
Marge: HOMER! I’m trying to work!
Homer: Oh. What are you doing?
Marge: I’m cataloging the violence in these cartoons. I don’t think adults have ever actually sat down and watched them before!
A scene later in the episode has the Crybaby Clown terrorizing everyone in the Crystal Cove City Hall. Everyone evacuates before a chunk of the building realistically blows up.
Marge: (frowning) What kind of warped human being would like that?!
Behind her, Homer laughs, and Marge does her trademark groan. We see that Marge has checked off various things like “PEOPLE TERRORIZED,” “DARK SETTINGS,” “STUFF BLOWING UP,” TOTAL CHAOS” and “STREET FIGHTING.”
Marge: Hrmmmmm! This is the kind of entertainment they think is suitable for younger and more impressionable viewers?!
Homer: (chuckling) Yeah, but what are you gonna do?
Marge: I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’M GOING TO WRITE A LETTER! (walks off)
TO BE CONTINUED…
