Parodies of "The Graduate" in anime?

[DocWatson]

The wedding scene from the 1967 film The Graduate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Graduate) is parodied in several anime, including


Dirty Pair OAV 6
Kimagure Orange Road episode 11
Strawberry Panic episode 24
Urusei Yatsura: Only You (movie 1)
Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl episode 19
What other anime parodies of the scene have there been?

One of the Megami pull-outs of Lucky Star is a carbon copy of the scene, complete with Konata wearing Dustin Hoffman's jacket.

Urusei Yatsura Movie 1 (Only You) very heavily parodied it if you're referring to the scene I'm thinking of...

But not so much as the "Wedding Panic" Dirty Pair OAV.

(And even so, don't think there's as much of a cultural impetus to parody the Graduate in Japan as much as in the US--
We've seen more parodies of Lupin's flower trick from "Cagliostro" in anime than we've seen of Mike Nichols, and that alone could be its own thread.) :)

Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl (episode?)

19, the first Jigoro-centric episode.

Isn't the climax of Strawberry Panic a take-off on The Graduate?

It's just that I was surprised that there were even three—I recalled the one in KOR, and recently watched the Yawara! episode, but was surprised by the mention of Strawberry Panic in ANN's "Best of 2008" article. (I had not noticed or had forgotten about the UY and DP instances.)

Anyway, I've updated the list.

I burst out laughing when they parodied it on Dirty Pair. Totally wasn't expecting a Graduate reference in an anime.

The KOR one is the only I remember, because it had the biggest impact on me first watching. And the biggest amount of relief afterwards!

So does any anime character have sex with his/her(!) girlfriend's mother, on the mother's insistence as part of a story?

You mean, outside of hentai shows? :P

Doesn't Ping Pong Club parody the wedding scene? Or am i hallucinating a false memory?

No, I think you're right. I think that's the one I was trying to think of. I want to say it's the episode where Maeno gets jealous of Izawa when he finds a new friend, or something like that.

I thought I saw it in some other title pretty recently as well and have been thinking about it all week. Funny, because after I re-watched UY movie 1 a couple months ago I thought of doing this same topic because it does oddly come up here and there.
