Editing Jonny Quest (section)

==Parodies and homages==
The characters and setting of ''Jonny Quest'' have frequently been the subject of brief parodies, especially in later animated programs, some of which have aired on [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Adult Swim]] late-night programming block. [[WarnerMedia]] owns both Cartoon Network and the rights to the entire Hanna-Barbera library, including ''Jonny Quest''. In addition, there have been several substantial references to the show:

* Dr. Benton Quest appears in a cameo role during the end-credit sequence of ''[[Scoob!]]''
* In ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' TV movie "Channel Chasers", ''Jonny Quest'' is parodied as ''Jonny Hunt''.
* The cast from ''Quest'' can be seen on several episodes of ''[[Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated]]''. There are several episodes that bring in several characters such as Race and Dr. Quest, also making use of some ''Quest'' settings.
* Adult Swim's ''[[The Venture Bros.]]'' features characters who are satirical analogues of the ''Jonny Quest'' cast: Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture, his bodyguard Brock Samson, and his sons Hank and Dean. Flashbacks reveal that Rusty is himself the son of a Benton Quest analog, now coasting on the fame of his late father. During the first season, the creators of the show realized that Cartoon Network's parent owned ''Jonny Quest'' and began using the actual characters, including Jonny as a paranoid drug addict severely damaged by the constant danger his father put him in, Race Bannon as a government intelligence operative, and Hadji as a hard-working competent engineer for Rusty's successful brother Jonas Jr. Starting with the third season, the ''Jonny Quest'' characters were renamed: Jonny was renamed "Action Johnny", Race Bannon was referred to as "Red" and Dr. Zin was called "Dr. Z". There was no in-show explanation for the change.
* Adult Swim's ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'' features the cast in several bizarre parody episodes. In "Bannon Custody Battle", Bannon and Dr. Quest fight for custody of Jonny and Hadji, and in "Return of Birdgirl", Bannon and Dr. Quest apply for a [[same-sex marriage]]. Other episodes featured the Lizard Men from "Mystery of the Lizard Men", the mummy from "Curse of Anubis", a yeti from "Monsters in the Monastery", a gargoyle from "The House of the Seven Gargoyles", the robotic spider from "The Robot Spy", and others.
* Jonny Quest, Hadji, and Dr. Benton Quest appeared in ''[[Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story]]'' a ''[[Family Guy]]'' direct-to-video movie. 
* An eight-minute parody appeared in 1995 on the animated series ''[[Freakazoid!|Freakazoid]]'', under the title "Toby Danger", featuring the voices of Scott Menville, Don Messick (in his last role before he died), and Granville Van Dusen (all of whom provided voices for the original series). It was written by Tom Minton as a twelve-minute stand-alone short for ''[[Animaniacs]]'', but edited by director Eric Radomski to fit into the available ''Freakazoid!'' time slot.
* Jonny Quest appears in the background in a ''[[South Park]]'' made-for-TV movie called "[[Imaginationland: The Movie|Imaginationland]]".
* [[Matt Fraction]]'s [[spy-fi (neologism)|spy-fi]] comic book series ''[[Casanova (comics)|Casanova]]'' features a genius villain going by the name of Sabine Seychelle, who works with a large Indian bodyguard named Samir. Fraction describes his inspiration in the text column at the end of ''Casanova'' No. 4: "I liked the idea of Jonny Quest, all adult and crooked. The son of an adventure scientist and his bePolo'd sidekick would grow up...how, exactly? Bent, I supposed. Weeeird. The kind of guy that would create phenomenal machines...and then sleep with them three at a time".
* In the [[Less Than Jake]] song "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts", Johnny Quest is the name of a disgruntled fan accusing the band of selling out to corporations, which would jeopardize their [[ska]] influence and result in their records and concert ticket prices [[Price gouging|increasing]]. The idea for the song came from a friend of member Chris DeMakes who went by the nickname "Johnny Quest" frivolously writing down "Less Than Jake are sellouts" in his office.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.waste.org/~ltj/FAQ.html |title=less Than Jake, the FAQ |access-date=2018-09-20}}</ref>
* Brazilian [[pop rock]] band [[Jota Quest]] is named after the series. Originally, they performed under the name ''J. Quest'', but to avoid legal conflict with Hanna-Barbera, the ''J.'' was expanded to ''Jota'' (the Portuguese name for the letter ''J'') from their second album onward.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jotaquest.com.br |title=Jota Quest web site |publisher=Jotaquest.com.br |access-date=2010-08-26}}</ref>
* The Indianapolis-based punk band [[Racebannon]] takes its name from the ''Jonny Quest'' character.
* Clips from the show are also shown on the television the Parrs watch in the 2018 film ''[[Incredibles 2]]''.
