Jake Gyllenhaal Channels Fred From ‘Scooby Doo’ In Gross-Out Commercial For Apple Face ID Featuring Sabrina Carpenter
A parody of Scooby Doo turned bloody on SNL Saturday, with host Jake Gyllenhaal subbing in as the toe-headed Fred while musical guest star Sabrina Carpenter guest starred as Daphne.
Dubbed “Scooby Doo and the Mystery of the Shadow Phantom,” the skit featured Fred investigating a haunted mention with Daphne, Velma (Sarah Sherman) and Shaggy (Mikey Day). An animated Scooby Doo helps to catch the phantom they were looking for, who turns out to be James Austin Johnson as Old Man Franklin.

But Fred thinks Old Man Franklin isn’t who he says he is, so he literally pulls off the skin from the face, leaving behind a bloody skull that sends everyone into a screaming frenzy.
Scooby, meanwhile, dives right in and eats the skin.
The gore continues from there, with Shaggy getting his arm caught in a rotating book shelf, Velma losing her head, and Kenan Thompson, as an investigating cop, takes a bullet from Fred because “we can’t have any witnesses,” he says.
The whole skit ends up being a “commercial” for Apple Face ID that comes with the slogan, “Never Get Ripped Off Again.” You can watch the parody above.
