The Creeps is literally my favourite episode of Adventure Time. Like you said it was everything about Mystery Train done 40 times better. The atmosphere, the humor, everything is so perfect. And like you said the fact that it wasnt all wrapped up and actually left you wondering wtf was going on at the end was so good. (Even though it was solved later)
Honorary mention to Codename: Kids Next Door who did a mystery episode twice. Once with Operation: P.I.N.K.E.Y.E and again with Operation: C.R.I.M.E. I'd give it more to Pinkeye though for its general ability to make the tone of detective noir while still making it very KND. Bonus points for its INSANE mystery reveal that still haunts me to this day.
then there were fewer is by far one of the best family guy episodes and i wonder if there are more jewels like this one in the later seasons that a certain Dan could show us
Still need to watch the video, there was just an unexpected absurdity to having Courtney and Peter Griffin standing next to each other in the thumbnail that I never thought I wanted to see, but glad I did.
The only thing that didn't work about Family Guys murder mystery episode was at the very end where Stewie saves Lois's life from Dianne just because he thinks he's the one yhat should kill Lois. We would've thought Stewie was over that by now
Idk, I took it in the other direction. No one gets to kill her but him so either the time comes and he does it or natural causes does it. No in-between
There was a guy who solved the Simpsons mystery and did get in touch with the creators, but he was a student who wasn’t able to travel and claim whatever the prize was at the time
My understanding from the commentaries is that Barney was only pitched as Mr. Burns' shooter because some writers (most notably Oakley and Weinstein) don't like the character and find him annoying. The seasons they ran, 7 and 8, feature Barney far less than before and never in a plot-relevant role. Barney's role as Homer's best friend is noticeably reduced around that time, in favour of Moe, Lenny and Carl getting more screentime. So I think the Barney idea was mostly a goof on their part and not a serious consideration.
Skylanders Academy had a whodunit episode in Season 3, although it ends with the victim revealed to have actually stepped out for a spa trip and not killed by anyone, although the unrelated, yet important truth was destroyed by the actual traitor without anybody seeing the security footage throughly somehow. The episode is called, "A Traitor Among Us".
You mentioned the episode 'Mystery on the Friendship Express' from MLP:FIM, however, I think the episode 'Rarity Investigates!' would've been the better choice, as it has more of that noir style and mystery atmosphere that fits with the rest of the examples.
I think Bob’s Burgers had a really good Who Done It story, granted it was the movie, but still reeeally good. Definitely recommend to anyone that hasn’t watched it
You failed to mention, Homer was originally the one who shot Mr Burns. He even shows up in the crowd suspiciously wearing Krustys makeup. One give away is homers nose, it's painted on not an actual circular clown nose like Krustys.(Homer was originally set to double as Krusty when working/in makeup) Homer would have finally flipped on Burns for forgetting his name once again. Ultimately, it came out well but for some reason they changed it to have the most unsuspecting person(Maggie) to commit the crime.
That's untrue as far as I know... Crew has always said that they intended it to be Maggie, but kept it open enough that they could make minor changes in the episode if needed be for the executives.
And Then There Were Fewer is definitely top 20 all time best Family Guy episodes. Great writing, great animation & a good mystery given the nature of FG being already a random show. I dont agree with the top comment on this video(sigh) saying the ending fell flat at all. It worked well and still does to this day. 10/10 episode
50:16 Mike Henry use to do a bit in the commentary’s where he would sing Cherrys name in as many ways possible. Now I always remember how to say her name lmao.
The thing that i like of the total drama episode is that its funny and its a good episode and its one of my favorite episodes problaby on my top 5 favorite episodes on my opinion
hehe, this was awesome!! i forgot how much i loved that jimmy neutron episode as a kid. love the contrast between the unikitty episode and the family guy one, great set up.
After seeing this video, i think someone should make a video that has all these episodes on it. Like how some shows would have DVDs or VHS tapes with certain episodes from the show compacted to a single DVD or so. It should be called "Mysteries Murders and More." This DVD's playlist Includes over 4 hours of 15 episodes of a variety of favorites from Modern Day Mysteries to Classics from the Past. Playlist order. 1. The Simpsons: Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 1 2. The Simpsons: Who Shot Mr. Burns? part 2 3. Garfield: Babes & Bullets 4. Spongebob Squarepants: Squid Noir 5. The Mighty B!: Ten Little Honeybees 6. American Dad: Death By Dinner Party 7. Smiling Friends: Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty? 8. Unikitty: Who Took Toast 9. Adventure Time: Mystery Train 10. Adventure Time: The Creeps 11. The Farirly Odd Parents: Where's Wanda 12. The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: Crime Sheen Investigation 13. The After Party: Number 13 14. Total Drama Action: Get A Clue 15. Family Guy: And Then Their Were Fewer I'd love to see something like this with so many shows
I really enjoy this video! You’re quality is improving a lot each video. Thanks for all the hard work, you rock man! Can’t wait for *THE VIDEO* Edit: thicc garlfield was something I needed today thank u I don’t hate it at all
You know The simpsons actually did give a lot of hints to who the real killer was. Think of it, Mr.Burns is too weak to handle anybody in the town (even grandpa) in a struggle, We also got to account the gun wound which was a pistol (so this takes away alot of the other killers) and the most important hint is the fact that when his stumbling into the sun clock dying, you CAN see that the gun in his holster is gone. This mystery was completely solvable with the first episode!
i just would wonder if barney purposely shot mr burns what would his motive be, cause maggies motive seems obvious, she's used guns before and seems pretty competent in using them, and he was trying to take her candy.
Disappointed you did not even mention any of the king of the hill mystery eps. There were are least three I can think of off the top of my head, most better than most on this list.
Totally drama world tour also kind of had one of these episodes the one where they are in England and have to find out who is kidnapping each contestant it’s not as close as the other but still and interesting watch but it does mean more into the investigation aspect than the action one did
Honestly my favorite is prolly the one from Its Always Sunny, despite it being mostly with Charlie perceiving it, the film noire B&W style with some bits of red WITH the humor and style from Its Always Sunny makes it a great time. It's called "The Janitor Always Mops Twice"
the family guy episode had no right to be as good as it was, i went into that episode thinking it'd be full of jokes and not serious. but it's absolutely amazin
I think it makes senses for Diane to be the one to kill James Woods just so she can frame Tom Tucker. Tom has done nothing but insult and belittle her through this show just so he can inflate his own ego and replacing her with a fresh young face was the last straw. As for James Woods, we all know that he tends to date teenagers or college students meaning that he might have been turned off when Diane turned 40. This whole plan could have worked if Stephanie didn’t screw everything up with her being loud, dumb and obnoxious.
It baffles me that you didn't think to include "Headhunters" (Season 1: Episode 3) of Gravity Falls. Or... literally any Gravity Falls episode that involves a mystery.
Man idk why you even coinflipped for unikitty or MLP. Im sorry but i feel like even an outsider can see that theres probably gonna be a better episode in MLP than unikitty when it comes to creativity. Not to shit on unikitty at all, but like come on. Either the mystery pinkie episode or Rarity Investigates would've been really good episodes to talk about. Good video besides that though.
I spent the last decade of my life trying to forget the Mighty Bee existed. You're lucky I'm unhealthily fixated on rewatching you're Roger personas video as often as I can.
I have to say, The Simpson genuinely tried to actually be a good mystery, even making it so fair play, which would make sense, they hosted a contest
That “Maggie shot Mr. Burns again” still kills me lmfao
The Creeps is literally my favourite episode of Adventure Time. Like you said it was everything about Mystery Train done 40 times better. The atmosphere, the humor, everything is so perfect. And like you said the fact that it wasnt all wrapped up and actually left you wondering wtf was going on at the end was so good. (Even though it was solved later)

The Fatman Always Rings Twice is a underrated modern classic fr

Ngl that scene got me so hype as a kid
I genuinely don't see anything wrong with that part?
@@-adolfo- The thing is Stewie trying to kill Lois has faded away the more show evolved from time to time, they still show it
Idk, I took it in the other direction. No one gets to kill her but him so either the time comes and he does it or natural causes does it. No in-between
he doesn't want to kill her, but he still thinks he should be the only one to kill her.
There was a guy who solved the Simpsons mystery and did get in touch with the creators, but he was a student who wasn’t able to travel and claim whatever the prize was at the time
Do you have a link to this?
I love that you censor Bessie's middle name because of the episode where it's revealed to have bad luck effects. Genius subtle detail
My understanding from the commentaries is that Barney was only pitched as Mr. Burns' shooter because some writers (most notably Oakley and Weinstein) don't like the character and find him annoying. The seasons they ran, 7 and 8, feature Barney far less than before and never in a plot-relevant role. Barney's role as Homer's best friend is noticeably reduced around that time, in favour of Moe, Lenny and Carl getting more screentime. So I think the Barney idea was mostly a goof on their part and not a serious consideration.
House of Mouse also has an episode about Mickey Donald and Goofy looking for Minnie
Skylanders Academy had a whodunit episode in Season 3, although it ends with the victim revealed to have actually stepped out for a spa trip and not killed by anyone, although the unrelated, yet important truth was destroyed by the actual traitor without anybody seeing the security footage throughly somehow.

Among us
You mentioned the episode 'Mystery on the Friendship Express' from MLP:FIM, however, I think the episode 'Rarity Investigates!' would've been the better choice, as it has more of that noir style and mystery atmosphere that fits with the rest of the examples.
Scribbling out Bessie's middle name on her file was a great touch!
Chowder, Power Puff Girls and The Backyardigans also have who done it episodes off the top of my head
We definitely need a part 2 to this!
The Chowder one is a fun twist as he's the only one convinced there's a mystery to solve, everyone knows it's a murder mystery theatre
i wonder where the guy who bet on Maggie shooting Burns at the casino is now...
I think Bob’s Burgers had a really good Who Done It story, granted it was the movie, but still reeeally good. Definitely recommend to anyone that hasn’t watched it
It took OVER A DECADE for Mort to remarry but she hasn’t factored much yet. But neither did Muriel especially by her death
Thing is about Total Drama is that it’s supposed to be Cliche, it’s making fun of the cliche shit after all
There's also King of the Hill's two parter "Hanky Panky" & "High Anxiety" or what i like to call "Who Shot Debby Grund".
You failed to mention, Homer was originally the one who shot Mr Burns. He even shows up in the crowd suspiciously wearing Krustys makeup. One give away is homers nose, it's painted on not an actual circular clown nose like Krustys.(Homer was originally set to double as Krusty when working/in makeup) Homer would have finally flipped on Burns for forgetting his name once again. Ultimately, it came out well but for some reason they changed it to have the most unsuspecting person(Maggie) to commit the crime.
Hasn't it been confirmed that the Krusty thing was just an animation error?
That's untrue as far as I know... Crew has always said that they intended it to be Maggie, but kept it open enough that they could make minor changes in the episode if needed be for the executives.

I love mystery shows and genres. I think my favorite is adventure time the creeps.
The thing that i like of the total drama episode is that its funny and its a good episode and its one of my favorite episodes problaby on my top 5 favorite episodes on my opinion
I like that in the newer seasons of American dad they started doing these specials with title cards
What i remember from "Babes and Bullets" is when people watched the special, they forgot it was a Garfield special, even when Garfield showed up.
Great video brother love everything u listed thanks for having me
The mystery episode was one of my favorites of Total Drama Action but the bar is low for that season.
9:09 so glad you used that clip, American Dad will always be the GOAT.
Question, is The Afterparty still worth watching if I already know who the killer is and why they did it? It was kinda spoiled to me.
Absolutely, the characters and stories are worth it
The phrase "whodunnit" is a grammatical abomination. Please, use the correct term, a "who has done this"
hehe, this was awesome!! i forgot how much i loved that jimmy neutron episode as a kid. love the contrast between the unikitty episode and the family guy one, great set up.

I really enjoy this video! You’re quality is improving a lot each video. Thanks for all the hard work, you rock man! Can’t wait for *THE VIDEO*
Edit: thicc garlfield was something I needed today thank u I don’t hate it at all
In my opinion, I kinda like family guy’s versions better as the characters actually have motivations than the simpsons
The Gumball mystery episode is really good
Fue el primer episodio que pasaron en latinoamerica
but... but columbo isn't a whodunnit, it's a howcatch'em ._.
we always know who did it
You know The simpsons actually did give a lot of hints to who the real killer was. Think of it, Mr.Burns is too weak to handle anybody in the town (even grandpa) in a struggle, We also got to account the gun wound which was a pistol (so this takes away alot of the other killers)
and the most important hint is the fact that when his stumbling into the sun clock dying, you CAN see that the gun in his holster is gone. This mystery was completely solvable with the first episode!
i think you mean mr burns was too weak to fight anyone in town, skinner is a vietnam vet and has combat experience
@@Jade_Bunbun oh yes sorry i confuse their names at times
i just would wonder if barney purposely shot mr burns what would his motive be,
cause maggies motive seems obvious,
she's used guns before and seems pretty competent in using them,
and he was trying to take her candy.
49:44 I like the family guy special but, I have to be in the mood for It
Disappointed you did not even mention any of the king of the hill mystery eps. There were are least three I can think of off the top of my head, most better than most on this list.
I cannot sanction this My Little Pony slander! 😤
I'mma be honest, the thumbnail was what got me to watch this
They made a direct to dvd remake of April Fools Day in 2008 or 2009. I own that version.
Totally drama world tour also kind of had one of these episodes the one where they are in England and have to find out who is kidnapping each contestant it’s not as close as the other but still and interesting watch but it does mean more into the investigation aspect than the action one did
Dont forgot the backyardagain
You should make a part 2 video
47:29 DAMN IT I was hoping to see the MLP episode on this list
Maybe next time 👀
This was the first vid i was recommended by you, I'm very impressed and can't wait to see what comes next!
Banger after banger, this guy never misses
27:44
Does anyone know this sound effect/muisc piece
Inanimate Insanity had a great whodunnit episode
just a summary of a bunch of episodes of different tv shows. as much value as reading the "plot" section of wikipedia articles.
It’s not though but go off I guess 😂
Honestly my favorite is prolly the one from Its Always Sunny, despite it being mostly with Charlie perceiving it, the film noire B&W style with some bits of red WITH the humor and style from Its Always Sunny makes it a great time. It's called "The Janitor Always Mops Twice"
21:45 i love this episode lol
You forgot that one scott the woz episode
Loved to hear the fawlful theme from bis in this got me nostalgic lol but another great video dude!
I usually a love a good Murder Mystery episode or a Who Done it if you will
An hour plus of dan the man content? Fuck yeah.
The whole "Casino taking bets on who shot Mr. Burns" didn't really happen - that was just staged to hype up the second part.
the family guy episode had no right to be as good as it was, i went into that episode thinking it'd be full of jokes and not serious. but it's absolutely amazin
Blueberry
I don’t know how well it speaks of my character that I know exactly what you’re talking about
@@TheDanTheManShow it says you're an Inanimate Insanity fan
Love these AD episodes 😊
Dude I grew up on Garfield babes and bullets. I also remember a camping one but I can’t remember the name
Damn bro chose unikitty over mlp. The mlp one wasn't actually that bad if I remember. It was an every one did it kind of whodunnit
the first "Babes and Bullets" comic kinda have a "BlackSad" vibe in the arstyle
Nice intro very cool
I think it makes senses for Diane to be the one to kill James Woods just so she can frame Tom Tucker. Tom has done nothing but insult and belittle her through this show just so he can inflate his own ego and replacing her with a fresh young face was the last straw.

It baffles me that you didn't think to include "Headhunters" (Season 1: Episode 3) of Gravity Falls. Or... literally any Gravity Falls episode that involves a mystery.
TDA my beloved
The Simpsons, Adventure Time, and Family Guy's 'Who Dunit' had no right to be that good. Especially for animated shows.
I never really cared for the simpsons mystery episodes tbh
Ah Yes I'd remembered the Who Shot Mr.Bruns 2 Parter from the Classic era of The Simpsons
40:14 yeah I was about to say they're many takes on this lol 😊
Anybody else notice for Jimmy Neutrons description card thing hes listed as "dead"? Did i miss something???
Man idk why you even coinflipped for unikitty or MLP. Im sorry but i feel like even an outsider can see that theres probably gonna be a better episode in MLP than unikitty when it comes to creativity. Not to shit on unikitty at all, but like come on. Either the mystery pinkie episode or Rarity Investigates would've been really good episodes to talk about. Good video besides that though.
Lore of Whodunnit!? - The INSANITY of Mystery Episodes momentum 100
y'know I never hear about how there genuinely was real evidence pointing to maggie
it took me this long to realize that you're in the family guy death pose
bravo
fun fact in the smiling friends episode the character stain was originally supposed to be voiced by chris chan. but all the stuff happened
the video link said it doesn't exist :,)
(editing me, nvm I just mistook the lower case "s" for a capital "S')
2:33: Detective on lower right?
Shuichi Saihara from danganronpa 3
I’m surprised that you didn’t use the aniamanaces reboot episode where wario loses his donut but hey you do you
50:07 I think the family Guy one, is the best episode of the show, and the best “who done it” episode of all time❤
If you do another one the gravity Falls episode is fun
Not much mistery, but fun
The total drama one is my favourite episode of that entire show, it’s fucking manic and hilarious.
Don't disrespect Tito Puente. He is an important figure in real life
53:08 that's Ashely voicing her??
You would had way more funny moments in the mlp episode then in unikitty
I spent the last decade of my life trying to forget the Mighty Bee existed. You're lucky I'm unhealthily fixated on rewatching you're Roger personas video as often as I can.
Same
Thanks for the spoiler warning on Knives Out. 😒
38:50 well no, it crime to desecrate corpse
I thought the one from she ra and the princesses of power was okay
@19:24. You didn't think I saw that. BUT I DID!! 😉
the youtube link in the intermission doesnt exist anymore
The puddle was going to be voiced by Chris Chan
this is actually just what i needed
DON'T JUDGE MLP FIM UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY WATCH IT DUDE!
Man after party is soooo goood! And it only got better in season 2!
