Scores will walk out of the theaters during "Star Trek Into Darkness" when Chris Pine attempts to re-create Shatner's famous "KHA-A-AN" yell with the name "CUM-BER-BATCH!!!"
Actually, nearly everything since 1975 is a remake of "Scooby Doo" in one way or another. In "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Buffy made references to her 'Scooby Gang' long before Sarah Michelle Geller did the Scooby Movie. You could also see the crew of the Next Gen Enterprise as a Scooby Gang (with Data as the anti-Shaggy). Even Buck Rogers was a sci-fi Scooby Doo, just not the original series, the one with Scrappy Doo.
Or, going back, you could say Scooby Doo copied from the ORIGINAL Doctor Who.
You're missing a couple of my favorites (and living in L.A. for 40 years, local to me), "Tail of the Pup", the hot dog stand shaped like a hot dog http://www.seeing-stars.com/Landmarks/TailOfThePup.shtml (and the name was a take-off of a popular restaurant/bar unironically named "Tail of the Cock"), and "The Brown Derby", which was shaped like... guess what... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Derby My father worked in an office building across the street from the original hat while I was growing up and when I'd visit him at work, guess where we ate lunch. (And for a fancy restaurant, it served some kid-pleasing chili)
If they couldn't get Orson Welles, voice actor Paul Frees did his voice more often than the original (particularly for Disney). He also did impressions of the entire cast of The Maltese Falcon, and the cartoon voices of Boris Badanov, Ludwig Von Drake and Poppin' Fresh the Pillsbury Doughboy. So George could've changed his mind several times and keep the same actor...
Ken Nordine (then known as the deep-voiced guy on the psychedelic Levis commercials) could've done it. Or Gary Owens, Laugh-In announcer and the ORIGINAL voice of Space Ghost... or would that have been typecasting?
I wonder how many people thought James Earl Jones was trying to copy pop star Barry White's sexy low-talking style when it was probably the other way around. I'm sure there are people who thing the two of them AND Isaac "Shaft"/"Chef" Hayes were the same person...
But you know that annoying character on The Simpsons who says "E-e-e-y-e-e-e-e-s-s?" a lot. He's based on a radio actor named Frank Nelson who was still alive when Star Wars was made. Now that would have been fun if when Luke says "No-o-o-o-o-o!!!", Darth would say "E-e-e-y-e-e-e-e-s-s!"
Yes, I'd say the words to get the discount, but I'd read them off a page torn out of a Bible and then ask if he'd give me double my money back if he was Raptured before the work was completed.
On second thought, as Rob said... "Only morons let voluntary religious dogma control their lives." And I don't think I want someone who proudly declares himself a moron working on my car.
Surprised you didn't mention in passing that the rest of the rest of the Simpsons core family other than Bart were named (but not necessarily modeled) after Groening's own parents and sisters, or is that just TOO commonly known to be worth mentioning?
