And the scene in the thumbnail even flashes back to the original art style (similar to how the Captain Planet episode replicated the art style of Captain Planet during the ending tribute to the "Planeteer Alert"). Also notice the cameo of Grim from Billy and Mandy on the magazine cover in the flashback.

I wonder if in time OK KO is gonna turn into this big crossover show where a different character Cartoon Network owns will just show up once per episode.

and here i thought nobody but the people of /co/ gave a shit about either of those

oh shit. they freaking did it.

IIRC the creator of OK KO, Ian Jones Quartey, said he visits /co/ (I dunno how regularly though). Dude also personally knows Pan Pizza, the most well known animation critic on YouTube.

Also I just watched the full episode and oh gosh they made more references than I expected. In addition to the Ghoul School Girls, Grim on the magazine cover, the flashback sequence in the old Hanna Barbera artstyle, and the expected nods to Scooby and Shaggy, the episode also had a random sequence where the art style shifted to Ed, Edd, n Eddy with Elsa, Phantasma, and Sibella suddenly looking like the respective title characters (complete with the squiggly outlines), a Beauty and the Beast nod with Enid's wolfman dad turning into a human man like how Beast turns into his human form in the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast, Rad singing a song at the end that I'm sure is a nod to Scrappy's song from the Ghoul School movie, and finally during the Cartoon Network logo sequence after the credits it played the sound effects and used animation kinda similar to the Hanna Barbera logo sequence used in HB shows back in the 90s (here's a video for reference):

I also just remembered IJQ is 34 years old, so I'm confident in saying OK KO is very much a show not much for the modern young generation, but also older millennials.

Let's not forget that god tier Ed, Edd n Eddy shout out.

On the topic of Scooby Doo, i really love the Supernatural crossover episode

OK KO is an underrated gem. A lot of these shows are, even if they have that art style the internet hates right now.
