Eight minutes into this episode and I've learned Joe very much has a price point at which he's willing to start bumping meddling kids off. Good to know
I mean, technically, we ALL have a price point for literally everything. That price isn't always in terms of money, either. The sad thing is how low that price is for so very, very many of us... Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I do find the kelp monster scary, moreso than the octopus, but I guess that's just one of those things that depend on what personally scares someone; in my case, the kelp monster brings to mind a reanimate, bloated corpse that's been underwater so long, aquatic plants have begun growing over the body
That sounds like the premise for an adult version of Scooby-Doo. I wonder if we'll ever get an adults only version of Scooby-Doo? I mean a REAL version of Scooby-Doo, not whatever "THAT" show was attempting. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver I would love a legitimate adult version of Scooby Doo! Unfortunately adult animation doesn't have a good track record, but a Scooby Doo that was basically the same as the ones for kids, but able to go darker with its themes and horror, would be great! I think the closest we have thus far is Zombie Island, and that one's considered one of the best pieces of Scooby media
@@JoeGoesOverThere is a channel called Mystery Incorporated that is trying to make a more adult version of scooby doo. If you look up Mystery Incorporated live action you’ll find the pilot episode. It’s ran by people who love scooby doo and are running a campaign to try and raise backers for it. I wish it could get off the ground because it has its own issues but it’s at least ran by people who are TRYING to make an almost riverdale/supernatural type version of it. It’s MILES better than Velma but honestly it’s not hard for it to be better than whatever THAT is.
The Quarterback episode is my favorite episode of this series so I'm glad my favorite monster got an above average score. His scheme might not have been profitable but a lot of people can attest to how satisfying revenge is, especially since unlike Harry the Hypnotist we don't actually know what he was fired for so it's entirely possible Mr. Prentice massively screwed him over like corrupt businessmen are known to do. One thing worth noting is that there is something of a reason for the Ellsworth disguise. He entered the scoreboard room and switched from his ghost costume to his Ellsworth costume, by doing this he can leave the stadium after each haunting without risking any snoopers like the gang trying to follow the ghost and solve the mystery. He could've left as himself but if anybody recognized him he'd quickly become a suspect since someone who didn't leave on good terms suddenly showing up again only after a ghost started jeopardizing the business would be incredibly suspicious. The fact that he was wearing the Ellsworth costume under the Rambling Ghost costume also makes sense if that was the plan because that makes the process of switching costumes quicker than if he needed to put those clothes on after taking the ghost outfit off.
Or if he intended to go to the underground stadium after each haunting he could wait around for the police to leave and the commotion to die down in the Ellsworth disguise before going there.
Excellent theory! I can't find any holes in it and it absolutely explains the secondary disguise. It's my mistake for going for a real world explanation (writers filling out a suspect pool) rather than the in-Dooniverse reason like yours. I should be careful of that going forward! I would also lean more toward Prentice having fired Bender for less-than-savory reasons for exactly why you said: never trust a billionaire! Thanks for watching and commentin!
I recall an episode of what's new Scooby-Doo where for the first time ever the gang spilt up with different teams with fred with shaggy and scooby with the girls.
Yeah, Roger is actually dead and only exists as a ‘cartoon ghost’ with a limited ‘lifespan’ in which to solve his own murder. Also the cartoon characters are actually comic strip characters that speak in speech balloons. I’m glad they made the changes they did and were able to incorporate so many classic film cartoons.
@@russellharrell2747 The reason Gary K. Wolf created “Who Censored Roger Rabbit” at the time, was because he thought Theatrical Animation was dead, and the comic book business, as well as adapting them to TV becomes the norm. Also, originally, Roger Rabbit was meant to have brown fur. It wouldn’t be until the movie came out, that not only did it spark an animation renaissance, but Gary K. loved it so much, to the point of retconning his own original story in a book sequel to the movie (“Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?”), where it states the original storyline is nothing more than a nightmare that Jessica Rabbit had; which also goes to show that not all sexually attractive female characters are gold diggers.
My favorite bit of tangential Roger Rabbit trivia is how a comic book I was reading at the time, 'Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew!', featured a character named "Roger Rabbit", but the name was eventually changed to "Roger Rodney Rabbit" before finally settling on "Rodney Rabbit". The comic writers didn't know about Wolf's book, published just a year prior, when they gave named their hero's alter ego, so they had to change it in the only manner open to them at the time. This was why I'd heard about Roger Rabbit long before the film.
@@JoeGoesOver Also, on top of Judge Doom originally being a toon, with the only visible clues that he has red eyes and a high squeaky voice, there are other clues indicating his true identity (not counting the Disney Book Sequel where he has a much different identity from his movie appearance). Judge Doom was originally a toon known as “Pistol Packin’ Possom”, and from what I know of this possibility is this: Doom’s Toon Patrol is comprised of Mobster weasels, and the Possom character is dressed like one. The poster for the character in question is in RK Maroon’s office, which shows the character having red eyes like Doom. Doom even used a gun that looked exactly like the one on the poster, which was reflected through the glass casing of the poster before RK Maroon was peppered with bullets. In the end, the Toons ruled out what type of toon he would’ve been: Rabbit, Duck, Dog, Marionette, Sheep, Woodpecker and Pussy(cat); one of the possible forms that wasn’t ruled out (but not mentioned) was a Possom.
@robbiewalker2831 There's also "The Resurrection of Doom", where we learn he wasn't ALWAYS, well... batshit insane. Edit: Oh wait, you already mentioned that. I personally don't consider it "canon", but it's still interesting.
I completely forgot about the wreck episode until this, but I know for a fact I became obsessed with the octopus henchmonster. Couldn't tell you how many green felt tips my kid self used when drawing that guy over and over. Thanks for the supersized nostalgia hit!
It's amazing what we obsess over as children, and even more so that we forget about it at some point during adulthood until reminded. I'm always having songs pop into my head out of nowhere, only to realize it was something I heard as a kid and hadn't thought about for years. Case in point: 'Leave It' by Yes has been on rotation in my music player because out of nowhere last week "One down, one to go" entered by brain despite not having heard the song since the 1980s. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dorado is the same as Gold, just a different word but same meaning. You can also say El Diablo de Oro. Although I’ve never heard the word “Doro” I believe you mean to put “De Oro”
I dunno. I was just putting what the episode said into Google Translate and that's what it gave me. If I had to guess, I think the writers probably would have used "Diablo Dorado" as the name of the ship had they bothered to check with an actual Spanish speaker before writing the script. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Poisson and Pescado both mean fish. Along with Carp, Mcfin and McGill this made for one fishy episode. For the 70s that was probably as clever as we’d see on Saturday mornings.
Hanna-Barbera LOVED their pun-based names, especially this time around. They're really piscine me off at times! *badum tish* Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Though unfamiliar with the game, I googled some images and can see where you're coming from. Both the Octopus Monster in this episode and what I see from the game you mentioned feel inspired by Lovecraft. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I rarely comment on your stuff (I think the last time I did was when I pointed out that Shaggy was missing a toe in an animation error) but I would like to say that I always look forward to your analysis videos. You've really helped reignite my love for Scooby-Doo as well as old animation, in general.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind words, and I'm thrilled what I produce inspires anything in anyone! I've been on the receiving end of inspiration from content creators I admire and feel proud to even come close to doing the same for others! Thanks for watching!
There really is something to be said for how older fashion designs have an inherent creepiness factor to them. Just think. In 100 years, ghosts will be wearing flannel shirts and crocs. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Honestly I think the villians in these 2 episodes had pretty scary outfits! Also I love how you say the professors name in the first one xD Great as always Joe! Much love.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the nice sentiments! At first I was worried I was being too silly with the accent, but then figured, "Quelle les hell?" Thanks for continuing to support my channel!
That is very true. Also, "Nugget Nose" sounds like it could be found somewhere in the Urban Dictionary these days, not gonna lie. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bulldog Krontoski is a reference to famous Bears player Bronko Nagurski who ran into the wall at wrigley field causing a crack in it also helped lead the Bears to many Championships also I love the usage of that clip from M*A*S*H
I'm sure there's any number of references I'm going to miss, so thank you for your insight! As for the 'MASH' clip, or any other cutaways, you're getting a glimpse into my mind. My memories of TV shows or films play a huge part in how I see the world, or rather, specific scenes or quotes do that, so it's not uncommon for my brain to immediately pull up a film or television moment when hearing the correct trigger word. See "Sabotage", "Decade", "Surely", etc. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much for the kind words and encouragement! The script for the next one is well into the writing stage, so hopefully it will be completed within the usual two weeks!
I know so little about football that I had no idea it was this weekend! I mean, I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when, nor who was playing apart from some people being angry that one of the quarterbacks was dating a popular singer who told young people it's important to vote. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
It was indeed. I expect when they were putting together the previous episode, the background artists grabbed a bunch of reference material lying around the studio which included concept art for future airings. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The sea is creepy as all get out. I mean, have you SEEN a GOBLIN SHARK? One of the few things in life more terrifying than Space Kook! Thanks for watching and commenting!
You can tell it wasn't made in the 1930s! Clothes back then were made to last! They had to, considering people could only afford one shirt at a time, if my grandparents are to be believed. Thanks for watching!
Love these episodes, among my fave ones of The Scooby Doo Show so great to see they both got an above average ranking, love how creepy The Rambling Ghost looks and love the sea/ship setting in the other episode, always is one of my fave settings for Scooby Doo.
I don't know about the ghosts in episode 15 (aside from them getting low outfit scores), but the finale ghosts are sure as hell going near the bottom since apparently not a single one of them thought to look a little closer at what they were stealing.
I'm on the home stretch with the second-to-last episode's villains, and without giving anything away, it's likely regular viewers will have a pretty good idea my thoughts on what's coming up. I haven't watched the very last episode yet (at least, not since I was so young that I would have forgotten everything about it by now), so I'm cautiously intrigued by your words. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You're not the only one who mentioned this and admittedly it's taken me a bit by surprise to know these guys are favorites for anyone. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and my video certainly put them in a positive light, but these guys aren't exactly who immediately springs to mind for most when asked for popular Scooby-Doo villains. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I assume they lifted Fred, because in case one of the monsters happened by, he'd be more able to defend himself. This was the 70s, they could not have the gals defending themselves, yet.
That's a fair point. I don't think it ever got as bad as what we saw in 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies', but there was a definite whiff of sexism in early Scooby-Doo at times.
@@JoeGoesOver honestly, the more modern incarnations, dating back to the 80s have been the most watchable. If you set aside, shaggy and Scooby, and their appetite/cowardice, the other main three were more or less interchangeable. The more recent series, dating back to, I think pup named Scooby Doo, actually gave them some character. Freddy being a big dumb himbo, for example. Way better than the generic blandness.
Very true. The three of them seemed to have some personality in 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?', but for me they really started coming into their own with 'Mystery Incorporated'.
@@JoeGoesOver Yeah, up till the more modern incarnations, Shaggy and Scooby more or less carried the show. The other three were bland as unseasoned oatmeal. I mean, it reached the point that HB eventually just cut Fred, Daphne and Velma from the franchise entirely, and left it all on those two + Scrappy. This is what led to Scrappy's 'Most Annoying' status, as he now had to find most of the clues, get himself damseled, and pretty much fill all the roles they had to.
I don't remember if it was football, but I remember this one time my mom found a small toy that looked like a ghost or zombie athlete while digging through a drawer and asked me if I wanted to keep it. I told her that I wasn't interested and that "It looks like a rejected Scooby-Doo monster." which got a laugh out of her. The Rambling Ghost immediately comes to mind whenever I think of that story even though it could've easily been some other sport.
I would guess Carp and his men would have taken anyone who wanted to go back to shore, dropped them off, then when the gang weren’t paying attention, headed back to the ship to continue with their plan or Carp might tell the gang he and his men were going back to try and convince the Professor to abandon the mission. Although, most likely, no one was expected to accept the offer.
Watching this after seeing the episode from What’s New with the baseball specter, I can already picture the rambling ghost popping up after a “why does that sound……. Familiar…?” if you ever cover that episode here. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for the kind words! It's been ages since I've done a complete re-watch of 'What's New?', so I guess we'll see (hopefully) when I get there! As I do more of these videos, it may become more difficult for me to remember the plot points from episodes I covered a year or two earlier, since my old man brain is turning to mush. Thanks for watching!
That joke you make about the gang being experienced scuba divers despite Shaggy saying he can’t swim only works because of inconsistency or more likely lying. My man, this is Shaggy we’re talking about. He lies all the time when he’s scared to death of something and wants to run away from being bait. Obviously he’s gonna lie about not swimming just like the chicken he is. Although, with Ultra Instinct power in his veins, maybe he’s afraid his power will be triggered by swimming and break reality?
In the words popularized by Mark Twain: “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics”, Shaggy may have been lying, but it takes an effort to make one that obvious in front of your friend with whom you've spent time scuba diving in the past. That's why I'm such a proponent for every Scooby series taking place in its own universe.
Point After Touchdown (PAT) and Two-Point Conversions are untimed plays which teams are required to go for if there is any time left in the game. If a touchdown is scored with :00 on the clock resulting in one team ahead of another, no PAT or 2-PT conversion is necessary nor required (anymore, don't ask it was a dumb NFL rule that's been abandoned); if a touchdown is scored with :00 on the clock and a PAT or 2-PT conversion can tie or win the game then the team will go for it to force overtime or win the game. Those 0-0 scores give me flashbacks to the overhyped "Game of the Century" 2011 LSU-Alabama debacle that was the "Bore of the Century" with 5 combined field goals in regulation and overtime. That was 4 hours of my life that I wish I had done something else with...like watch old Scooby-Doo content.
Admittedly, I don't know much about football, but I do know enough that I would always, ALWAYS, pick watching old Scooby-Doo content over a game! Thank you for sharing your insight! And for watching!
It’s crazy, I’ve watched a ton of Scooby Doo over the years, but I’d never seen the first episode of the review. Idk why but to me the kelp monster kinda reminded me of the Wax Phantom in its design. The Rambling Ghost is one of my favorite villains in design, though it might be because I like football. I also never noticed how much Scooby-Doo Show villains were included in Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed.
The live-action sequel was allegedly supposed to include a lot more classic monsters, if all accounts can be believed. It would have made for a more interesting film, that's for certain. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Heck yeah, another part! I love this series and I'm really excited every time you upload. The mafia being involved in the second episode makes sense too. And your humor is always on point. Keep up the good work!
When you need to get What's New Scooby Doo you'll have to go over another plot involving the ghost of a former athlete. Also, you explaining Judge Doom's plan made me realize that he's basically a substitute for General Motors. Cause GM did equally shady things in LA during the time period that the film is set in to control the transit system.
I've seen UA-camrs explain that Roger Rabbit was just a repurposed script for a proposed sequel to 'Chinatown', which makes sense as the film diverged greatly from the novel. Each of the three Jake Gittes films were/were to have been devoted to corruption in one of the major California industries. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
50:11: I’m not into Football either, but I did see a “Goofy” Sports short about Football, and they had something involving a star player being used as a last resort as well. Perhaps back then, it’s a bit of a practice that when one team has better players, the other team would have to do the same to get the upper hand, depending on weakness.
I know in the film 'MASH' (1970), keeping a secret star player benched was part of a gambling scheme by the film's protagonists, but I can't believe that'd have a lot of applications in real life. But again, admittedly, I don't know much about football...
ahhhhh these two episodes and the next one are 3 of the episodes of the scooby doo show i have seen the most due to my grandmother recording them and a bunch other where are you and the scooby doo show episodes on a vhs for me.
This reminds me of "The Purple Smurf" episode of 'The Smurfs' cartoon from the 1980s. Before my family had a VHS player, I would record some of my favorite shows by placing a cassette recorder next to the TV's speaker, so I could at least listen to the episode again. A few months ago, I happened upon "The Purple Smurf" while checking out one of the streaming platforms and nostalgia forced me to watch that particular episode. Despite over four decades [ACE DECADE] having passed, I found myself reciting the lines along with the characters onscreen. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always great to see this pop up on my feed! With how familiar many of these villain plots are sounding, part of me wonders if it's only a matter of time before they all sound familiar. Either because the writers run out of ideas or because there's only so much truly fresh schemes that can be made before things have to be recycled. Time will tell.
Thank you for your nice words! It's too early to say, but judging from how unique so many storylines exist from later in the franchise's life, I would guess the repeated story beats and villain schemes are more indicative of Hanna-Barbera pushing writers to hurry up with scripts than a lack of talent. The studio didn't want to pay to hire more writers, artists and animators, so it's no surprise they'd take shortcuts like recycled plots and character models. Thanks for watching and commenting!
While it's admittedly been quite a few years since I last saw 'The Scooby-Doo Show', the football one was familiar, but I had zero recollection of the sea monsters. It makes me wonder at times the choices made by networks and syndication stations as to which episodes they decide to air. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Being a previous football player myself, I knw this came out before, but the main antagonist Sudden Death in NFL rush zone is a mummified cyborg antagonist granted the only thing between him and the rambling ghost is red eyes, and capturing football icons is all. I like my concept art for the rambling ghost has threads in his lips over his mouth like a football(kinda making him look like Purple Haze from Jojo GW), heck a cool power I gave for the rambling ghost is muddy/foggy haze with freezing rain weather that makes games unbearable. I know coach made us stand/practice in it "oh good times go bye". Whats more ironic is our teams #13 and I were both Scooby lovers, and our nickname for him was Rambling Ghost.
I'm fairly literate in most western animation, meaning if it had some bit of popularity I would likely have heard of the show, even if never having watched an episode. I had never heard of "NFL Rush Zone" before your post. Judging by the voice actors , it looks like it was mostly staffed with video game/anime dub performers, which generally portends a more limited availability to see it. I'm guessing the series was meant to bridge the gap between cartoon loving kids and football loving kids, with the NFL hopeful that they could bring more fans to their sport? Either way, thank you very much for watching and commenting!
0-0 means that the teams could be both really good or bad. Both teams could have inept offenses or both could have outstanding defenses. Also no, it makes no sense to have your star player out of the game until the end unless Fred meant that he was coming back into the game after his team got the ball back. Also the point after attempt freezes the clock so there is no incentive not to kick it but I think your mob theory could still be valid
I had an uncle who tried to get me into football as a kid, and to put it in perspective, the Raiders hadn't even moved the first time by then. So needless to say, my memory of a lot of the intricacies of the game are a wee bit stale. Thank you for your insight and for watching!
I just realized there are three seasons and over thirty episodes of The Scooby-Doo Show, so we're gonna be here for a while. Hopefully that ends up being a good thing. There is a Football Player Zombie enemy in the video game franchise Plants vs. Zombies, but that is a zombie and not a ghost even if they're both undead creatures. Next episode will have the ice cream episode, one I distinctly remember from my childhood alongside the already covered 10,000 Volt Ghost episode. I suspect the three phantoms will not score very well in the outfit department since they are just recolors of the Green Ghosts from WAY?`, but my nostalgia will have me liking them (and the episode itself) regardless. Great job as usual Joe!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I won't spoil anything, but I'm finished with the Technicolor Phantoms episode of the next script so hopefully you won't have long to wait! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Ahh, that's good to know! As I said, I'm no expert in football. Still, you'd think the team could have done something to ride out the clock. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well Velma does carry around Shaggys medicene and Shaggy has her spare glasses. Why wouldn't the profosser run? Especially if he knows their just crooks. As you point out they tried tying him up. Whats he gonna do? Say go sick em Velma? Nope run away is the play. So Bender works for Q branch that explains alot of the episode. With q gadgets making like a ghost is the least you can do.
Awesome ranking as always! I've never seen either episode sadly so I'll be ranking based off of what I've heard in this video 1) Captain Pescado, Octopus and Kelp Monster 2) Rambling Ghost
Finally some nice villain scores, it's been a while I admit tough, i found the sea captain episode pretty forgettable. I don't think it's really the villains fault tough, is just that the plot is pretty standard and most of the episode is just based on locking doors. The designs of the villains are nice tough. I notice then while in the New Scooby Doo movies you based yourself more on the in universe characters reaction to determine if a villain was scary, while now you are basing it on the costume design itself. It makes sense to me because that series werdly showed the characters aside for Shaggy and Scooby nit scared of the monsters a bunch of time, while this never does that so if you based the score on the gang's reaction every villain would be considered scary. I agree with that approch, if anything i think some old villains got a bit too much credit like the ghost of Fireball McPhane that without the special effect just looked like a normal dude, altough on the other hand it could get a bit too subjective at time, like the kelp monster could very well be considered scary by many and i saw people thinking that. In other instances it makes sense like i doubt anyone thinks Merlin was scary, it lacked any scary feature and just looked like a standard wizard. I did expect that exact score on the design, and something on that line for ourfit and operation. I didn't realized it would have got that hight tough. I dis noticed the glowing effect bring inconsistent tough. The clue was really just for the audience and wasn't really needed for the characters, but again, figuring out who the villain is beforhand is seldom really important, they are gonna find out after the trap anyways. I laugh at the way you pronounce Poisson. At first i tought he could have bern Pescado since thir names mean the same thing, pretty silly reason i know, but it would have been a better twist, the actual culptits where blatantly obvious, another reason why i wound the episode forgettable. On Fred being obsessed with splitting up, A Pup Named Scooby Doo seems to go with that interpretation. One time he said that right after claming that they would have a better chance if they stay togheter, another one after solving the mistery and another in a small trailer with no space to split up. I also expected the Rambling Ghost to got a five in outfit. It's really a good design, pretty underdated imo. I didn't expected the operation score to get so low, but i did noticed some mistakes specially with that newspaper, forst time i saw the villain writing on a piece of paper i tought it was some kind of document he needed for his scheme but no, he was apparently just circling a photo for no reason. I think human disguise was to get more easy acces on the "special effects" like the mechanical eagle. I am surprised you didn't mentioned that part i fount it pretty clever. Yeah the shrinkin it's a bit too much, i am ok with stuff that is just a visual gag, but making them actually shrink is too much and break the grounded feeling of this series, altough i liked one instance in the original series when Scooby launched a block of ice against a keyhole and the ice got shaped like a key. It was so absurd that made me laugh. But that should be limited or it's gonna become like any other gag based cartoon, like it's going to happen in the Scrappy era when it's just him Scooby and Shaggy, there is one episode in wich the steam turn them into babies. I am ok with that in Pup because it fits with the aestetic of the series (and it's usually just visual gags anywyas even if exagerated) but i know you hate that one. Revenge scheme may be less beneficial then money schemes, but i found them a nice change of pace sometimes. They are gonna become more common in some of my favourite series like What's New and Mystery inc wich makes me fear a bit for the scores (Mystery Inc in particual have some intentionally stupid ones). The mafia theory is interesting and makes a lot of sense. When you say the second time, wich you are counting as the first? Iirc you teorized mob involvment at least two times, Backstage Rage and the third Globetrotters episode, and i don't think they where ever involved officially for now (i think the foist time it really happen is during the scrappy era. There is one series in woch Shaggy Svooby and Scrappy worked on a detective sgency and in one episode they had to recover stolen diamonds from a mobster) For the next one, unfortunatly we have some reused models again, altough basing the color schemes of the ghosts on ice cream flavours was a nice tough so maybe they are gonna get at least an extra point, even if that might make them less scary as well, and they lack special effects i think. For the revolutionary ghosts their schemes should get an easy one i think. It might be original, but i think the fact that they where stealing wortless currency nullify that, expecially since they should havre realized that if they made a bit more reaserch on how the mint works.
Admittedly, I do seem to be exhibiting a lack of consistency when it comes to rating a costume's ability to inspire fear or its originality specifically from an audience's perspective or from the protagonists' perspective. It's just going to be one of those things that I'll decide at the moment of writing the script, based on whatever mindset I had at the time. Most scripts are written over several days, and occasionally I'll change my mind about some elements while proofing, so what you see that ends up on camera is my most firm thoughts on the subject. With my suggestion about the possibility of a second time the mob may have been involved, I was thinking how the Ghost of Fireball McPhan wanted to turn a high school stadium into a race track for gambling, which would likely involve organized crime, though I'm sure I mentioned possible mob ties in earlier videos (but can't immediately remember off the top of my head). The script is mostly complete for my next video featuring the final two episodes of season one, so hopefully by the middle or end of next week you'll see how I handled the points you brought up! As always, thanks for watching and commenting!
I can’t wait for you to review the what’s new Scooby doo episode gentlemen start your monsters it’s one of my favorites as well as the rambling ghost episode great review
I would love to have reached the 'What's New?' era myself, but it takes a while to write and produce a video, so it's likely going to be a while before I reach it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have two members of my immediate family who are/were into HAM, so that may go a long way toward explaining my cheap shot! Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I can't actually find a source for it but over the years I've seen more than a few places claim that Shaggy and Velma were originally going to be siblings in the pre-production stage of Where Are You?, which admittedly goes a long way in explaining stuff like Velma having Shaggy's cold medicine in the pilot and Shaggy having Velma's spare glasses in the Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman episode.
That's both fascinating and believable from a pre-production standpoint, and also icky and gross from a "how the characters were in a relationship in 'Mystery Incorporated' years later" standpoint. If that's not a holdover from a potential sibling relationship, it may have been the writers just trying to find a way of explaining how Shaggy got some cold medicine or Velma got her spare glasses if another character had been holding them, rather than simply magicking them into existence. This is a concern they obviously quickly dropped, considering how often Shaggy and Scooby pull full disguises out of thin air when trying to trick a villain. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well, Bender was a creepy, revenge-obsessed weirdo, so it's also possible it was some sort of antigovernmental manifesto. Good thing the Scooby Gang got him before he had a chance to move to a deserted Montana wilderness cabin and start building bombs! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I feel like we need to investigate possible CTE for Crunch and Flash and they just stood there in that hidden room and it took Velma all of 5 seconds to get them out. I still love these episodes though, there was at least a bit of a departure in setting and villains.
TBF, Velma needed her hairpin to free them which is something they didn't have. Actually, I don't see the bag or air pump in any prior shots either. I think she got them from the same place that Scooby and Shaggy get their various disguises.
I did originally write something that brought up possible concussions suffered by the two sports stars and why they might not have thought to remove their gear, but eventually cut it. It might come as a surprise to my regular viewers that I DO occasionally cut stuff! Thank you very much for commenting and for watching!
Even as a kid I thought it was strange that a good amount of the Pescado episode was spent having the ghosts lock the gang up only for them to escape pretty much immediately before being locked up again despite enjoying it overall. The only reason I could think of for faking their departure and subsequent would be to ruled out as suspects if the authorities were contacted and they were forced to make their escape early, if the gang accompanied them they likely either would've been kidnapped or subjected to a watery end. They can't be suspects if they're not there. Of course, that plan ultimately failed since the professor must've seen them before they could change into their costumes at some point in order to know who abducted him.
If I had to guess, I think the three of them overpowered Poisson in his cabin without wearing their disguises, since what would be the point? They were planning on locking him in the brig, not scare him away, so it wouldn't matter if he knew who was kidnapping him. I do have to ask why the cabin was that torn up? You'd think three large sailors would have been able to abduct a skinny researcher without too much effort. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I don't know much about scuba diving, but would changing your oxygen tank underwater where they're stored even work? I thought you had to be above the surface where you could breathe normally during the switch.
There's probably a way to do it underwater, for emergency purposes. Though I know little about scuba myself. I think the mouth regulator has a way to blow out any water in the line before you breathe in, but don't hold me to that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yup. Book Roger Rabbit was a lot more flawed than movie Roger Rabbit. That whole genie thing was a lot to take in as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
4:15 wait, I thought it was the French Narrator from SpongeBob Squarepants who was the Costeau ripoff, not Plausaun or however you spell his name. Also that Decade joke is a clear dead winner (pun not intended but also maybe) for best dad humor joke I can enjoy. 😂
Jacques Cousteau had popped up a LOT in pop culture references over the years, but like much of the humor in 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' and 'Loony Tunes', they're not going to age well for the future audiences.
I wish I could produce these faster, but I'm just one guy! 😃 Hopefully when I reach the episode, I won't disappoint! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I'm in my early 50s, and yet can still say the same. I can't help but communicate with memes to the point that I almost find myself searching for a gif in REAL LIFE conversations. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I remember loving both of these episodes as a kid. By the way Joe, do you believe that fan theory of Scooby-Doo taking place during an economic recession?
I'm unaware of the theory, but it wouldn't surprise me if many Scooby series took place during economic recessions. That's the world we're stuck with, unfortunately. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've read this comment multiple times and looked at the section of the video you referenced, and I am just as clueless as the first time I read it. It's likely I'm missing something obvious. But thank you anyway for taking the time to comment, as well as for watching and subscribing.
@@JoeGoesOver Recently Starkid debuted a new musical called Nerdy Prudes Must Die where the antagonist is a zombie jock bully. He doesn't wear the football gear but he does wear a letterman's jacket.
I hope your birthday went well! I don't celebrate them myself. I already feel the cold, airy hands of the Grim Reaper clutching at the back of my neck as it is, and birthdays just draw his attention. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I'll bet the writers absolutely considered it, but Standards and Practice probably didn't allow them to use the word "dead" so prominently in a Saturday Morning cartoon.
The rambing ghost was in monster unleashed as a costume and can be view in the dvd extra although it look like a skeleton in a jersey and helmet that make me think how bug bender could wear the costume?
Depending on how much scrappy doo he does as the first season was normal episodes and there was some select episodes after that then there’s a pup name Scooby doo
As mentioned by @Zombiekilleryamato, there is a lot of content between now and the two series you mentioned. I would absolutely love to get there eventually and provided I'm still producing content, it's my intention to get there as well, but it will be a while. Though I am not ruling out doing some out of order. In fact, I'm in the early stages of a possible video that will definitely break the order scheme, not to mention I'm planning on hitting another Scooby Renaissance film shortly. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Joe, I just worked ten hours at my job in preparation for the Super Bowl, and got home with Popeyes for dinner to watch UA-cam on my Apple TV-to discover you uploaded. My crappy work day was instantly forgotten. Thanks for all your hard work. I hope to one day do a video essay of my own on the golden age Wonder Woman (I’m currently reading all the omnibuses that have come out) and I hope you’ll get to see it! I have wanted to ask you, since you finished the New Scooby-Doo Movies, if you could pick any guest star to appear on that show or Scooby Doo and Guess Who (be it someone modern, or someone from the 70’s, or someone who has passed away), who would you pick? For me, for a 70’s celebrity I’d pick The Ramones (maybe they show up during a mystery of a haunted music academy as a references to The Ramones’ “Rock and Roll High School”) or for a more modern celebrity I’d pick either Guy Fieri or the late Robin Williams or Steve Irwin. Have a wonderful day!
Good luck with your own video and do whatever you can to finish it! One thing doing this channel has taught me is that creativity should always be encouraged, in almost every form. I've found that even when reading, watching or listening to art that doesn't appeal to me personally, I'll still appreciate the time, effort and passion that went into creating it. Within reason, of course. I would be hard-pressed to call any Asylum film "art". You're not the only one who would have loved to have seen Robin Williams meet the Gang. When this question pops up, he's usually at the top of proposed guest stars. For myself, it's difficult to say. I've never been one who was particularly fond of the idea of "guest stars" since it can go very wrong if you're not careful *cough Vince McMahon *cough, but off the top of my head, I would get a kick out of the actual voice actors appearing in the series. I know this actually happened a few times over the years, but if I could pick anyone living or dead, I'd choose everyone who ever voiced a Scooby character- Don Messick, Heather North, Casey Kasem, etc. I'm... a bit of a voice nerd. Thank you very much for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I know that season two of the series will be one of your reviews only eight episodes so only four videos if I’m going to have to guess costume scores for the rest of the renaissance movies will be from worse to best phantom virus witch ghost and aliens
I can't really say this far in advance. There have been times when going into an episode I expected the villain ranking to go one way, but after giving it some thought decided to go another. I do sincerely try to keep as much bias out of my ranking scale as possible and hold off on any decision until seeing the show from a fresh perspective. I'm talking about my bias toward or against Scooby villains. I have no qualms about expressing my bias against REAL LIFE villains. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I think it's just the opposite. I doubt Daphne would care, but Velma would be kicking herself if she missed the opportunity to see the other girl's knickers. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Considering how poorly that one live action movie Cotton Candy monster faired against Shaggy and Scooby, that kelp monster suit wearing bad guy is lucky they haven't yet apparently had time to eat much east Asian cuisine. Cause I am fairly sure if that one guy in the clunky suit got jumped by a ravenously hungry teenager totting a bottle of soy sauce and a hungry great dane out for some grub, they wouldn't have done so well. For the second case: Wouldn't having a steam room operating at night with no supervision and nobody on site to keep an eye on it constitute as a fire hazard? Heck, if the villain wanted revenge, they should have just snuck underground and committed arson to burn the whole stadium to the ground/damage large parts of the field via the steam room. I'm sure any insurance company investigators would take a look at the steam room left running overnight combined with the claimant having financial difficulties looking a bit suspicious, and either found a valid reason or some loophole to avoid paying. Considering how badly the owner needed these games to be played, wouldn't simply getting them canceled have been enough to ruin him if he as the owner was proven to have poor fire safety practices? Especially if we think about the potential of organized crime being involved. Which could influence the suspect pool and let the culprit sneak off back to their own life with little worry of being tied to the crime, short of making any major mistakes?
With the massive amount of Scooby-Doo related media out there- TV shows, books, comic books, movies, View Master reels, etc.- it would absolutely come as no surprise if your scenario already happened. And there are indeed so many options for a truly determined person out for revenge! Prentice is lucky to be alive! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm going to respectfully disagree. I am not a fan of 'A Pup Named Scooby-Doo', based a lot on how poorly animated it was, but there's also just something about "child versions" of established characters that never appealed to me, even when I was a child myself and the intended audience. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It's both the God and Devil of UA-cam content creators! Though I lean more toward the latter when it comes to my own opinion. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The Scooby producers left quite a few unanswered questions, didn't they? In this day and age, most of their audience has seen enough documentaries to know that recovered treasure from a seawater shipwreck would be blackened until properly restored. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I mean another reason for the football team owner not doing well may be the fact that he employed black players in the 1970s and investors weren't paying for that reason.
Why is it that sea monsters are almost always green? If you didn't point out that the Morse code was wrong I wouldn't have known, Morse code confuses me hell even when a Poptropica island had a Morse code guide for you to use when doing Morse code I was confused. Football Ghosts is honestly one of the weirdest villain concepts to me
I grew up with a HAM radio enthusiast who tried to get me interested (it didn't take, but my brother fell into it for a while). That's probably the only reason I even noticed something wasn't on the up and up. Sea monsters are always green for the same reason animated farts are always green. It just feels right. Thanks for watching and commenting!
In football extra points the other team returning an extra points is only worth one points it actually they couldn’t have lost off that it is actually considered bad sportsmanship not to kick the ball extra
I played little league baseball and if my experience is anything to go by, "bad sportsmanship" is nothing that will stop a determined enough team. Unfortunately. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Actually that was one of my favorite episodes the first time I saw that I felt like they had hope for the show because they included all five characters almost equally and that hadn't been done in a long time it wasn't to last though after this they began to phase Fred Daphne and Velma out
For a long period of time in the Scooby-Dooinverse, they didn't seem to know what to do with Fred, Daphne and Velma. Bad enough that we got the later series when two or three of them were completely omitted! By the time of the Scooby Renaissance films, though, they started to work the kinks out. Those three have definitely come a long way! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver its going to be interesting as to how you explain some of the episodes in that series, referring to the scooby doo mysteries. The crimes were so much more petty. Whats new Scooby doo didnt have any really big financial gains, And as you mentioned in other reviews, about the uncles and aunts that have monster problems, in Whats new Scooby Doo they didnt have a lot of haunted relatives.
I've been asked several times how I'll handle some future series that seemed to do away with the mystery formula and just focus on silly hijinks of Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy. If they don't have villains and schemes, I won't really be able to do a Ranking, so it's likely I'll just skip ahead to the series that do.
That's very true. It's funny how many have pointed out what I had so obviously missed, despite my having drawn attention to Velma's wardrobe malfuction. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!

@@JoeGoesOverYou're welcome.
Eight minutes into this episode and I've learned Joe very much has a price point at which he's willing to start bumping meddling kids off. Good to know
I mean, technically, we ALL have a price point for literally everything.
That price isn't always in terms of money, either.
The sad thing is how low that price is for so very, very many of us...

I do find the kelp monster scary, moreso than the octopus, but I guess that's just one of those things that depend on what personally scares someone; in my case, the kelp monster brings to mind a reanimate, bloated corpse that's been underwater so long, aquatic plants have begun growing over the body
Cool idea!
That sounds like the premise for an adult version of Scooby-Doo.
I wonder if we'll ever get an adults only version of Scooby-Doo?
I mean a REAL version of Scooby-Doo, not whatever "THAT" show was attempting.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver I would love a legitimate adult version of Scooby Doo! Unfortunately adult animation doesn't have a good track record, but a Scooby Doo that was basically the same as the ones for kids, but able to go darker with its themes and horror, would be great! I think the closest we have thus far is Zombie Island, and that one's considered one of the best pieces of Scooby media
@@JoeGoesOverThere is a channel called Mystery Incorporated that is trying to make a more adult version of scooby doo. If you look up Mystery Incorporated live action you’ll find the pilot episode. It’s ran by people who love scooby doo and are running a campaign to try and raise backers for it. I wish it could get off the ground because it has its own issues but it’s at least ran by people who are TRYING to make an almost riverdale/supernatural type version of it. It’s MILES better than Velma but honestly it’s not hard for it to be better than whatever THAT is.
The Quarterback episode is my favorite episode of this series so I'm glad my favorite monster got an above average score. His scheme might not have been profitable but a lot of people can attest to how satisfying revenge is, especially since unlike Harry the Hypnotist we don't actually know what he was fired for so it's entirely possible Mr. Prentice massively screwed him over like corrupt businessmen are known to do.
One thing worth noting is that there is something of a reason for the Ellsworth disguise. He entered the scoreboard room and switched from his ghost costume to his Ellsworth costume, by doing this he can leave the stadium after each haunting without risking any snoopers like the gang trying to follow the ghost and solve the mystery. He could've left as himself but if anybody recognized him he'd quickly become a suspect since someone who didn't leave on good terms suddenly showing up again only after a ghost started jeopardizing the business would be incredibly suspicious.
The fact that he was wearing the Ellsworth costume under the Rambling Ghost costume also makes sense if that was the plan because that makes the process of switching costumes quicker than if he needed to put those clothes on after taking the ghost outfit off.
Or if he intended to go to the underground stadium after each haunting he could wait around for the police to leave and the commotion to die down in the Ellsworth disguise before going there.
Excellent theory! I can't find any holes in it and it absolutely explains the secondary disguise. It's my mistake for going for a real world explanation (writers filling out a suspect pool) rather than the in-Dooniverse reason like yours.
I should be careful of that going forward!
I would also lean more toward Prentice having fired Bender for less-than-savory reasons for exactly why you said: never trust a billionaire!
Thanks for watching and commentin!
Fred needs his routine, it makes him happy and he gets stressed out if it's broken. Just ask my sister, she's just the same 😂
Kinda like the version of Fred in Be Cool, Scooby-Doo
There's more and more evidence that Fred may be on the spectrum.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I recall an episode of what's new Scooby-Doo where for the first time ever the gang spilt up with different teams with fred with shaggy and scooby with the girls.
And The Who Framed Rodger Rabbit book is far more darker than the movie.
Yeah, Roger is actually dead and only exists as a ‘cartoon ghost’ with a limited ‘lifespan’ in which to solve his own murder. Also the cartoon characters are actually comic strip characters that speak in speech balloons. I’m glad they made the changes they did and were able to incorporate so many classic film cartoons.
@@russellharrell2747 The reason Gary K. Wolf created “Who Censored Roger Rabbit” at the time, was because he thought Theatrical Animation was dead, and the comic book business, as well as adapting them to TV becomes the norm. Also, originally, Roger Rabbit was meant to have brown fur. It wouldn’t be until the movie came out, that not only did it spark an animation renaissance, but Gary K. loved it so much, to the point of retconning his own original story in a book sequel to the movie (“Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?”), where it states the original storyline is nothing more than a nightmare that Jessica Rabbit had; which also goes to show that not all sexually attractive female characters are gold diggers.
My favorite bit of tangential Roger Rabbit trivia is how a comic book I was reading at the time, 'Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew!', featured a character named "Roger Rabbit", but the name was eventually changed to "Roger Rodney Rabbit" before finally settling on "Rodney Rabbit".
The comic writers didn't know about Wolf's book, published just a year prior, when they gave named their hero's alter ego, so they had to change it in the only manner open to them at the time.
This was why I'd heard about Roger Rabbit long before the film.
@@JoeGoesOver Also, on top of Judge Doom originally being a toon, with the only visible clues that he has red eyes and a high squeaky voice, there are other clues indicating his true identity (not counting the Disney Book Sequel where he has a much different identity from his movie appearance).
Judge Doom was originally a toon known as “Pistol Packin’ Possom”, and from what I know of this possibility is this: Doom’s Toon Patrol is comprised of Mobster weasels, and the Possom character is dressed like one. The poster for the character in question is in RK Maroon’s office, which shows the character having red eyes like Doom. Doom even used a gun that looked exactly like the one on the poster, which was reflected through the glass casing of the poster before RK Maroon was peppered with bullets. In the end, the Toons ruled out what type of toon he would’ve been: Rabbit, Duck, Dog, Marionette, Sheep, Woodpecker and Pussy(cat); one of the possible forms that wasn’t ruled out (but not mentioned) was a Possom.
@robbiewalker2831 There's also "The Resurrection of Doom", where we learn he wasn't ALWAYS, well... batshit insane.
Edit: Oh wait, you already mentioned that. I personally don't consider it "canon", but it's still interesting.
Scooby Doo is the six-million-dollar dog?... I thought that was Dyno-Mutt.
I'm not sure they spent six HUNDRED dollars on ol' Dynomutt, considering how often he screws things up for Blue Falcon!
Given his number of foul ups perhaps they went with substandard contractors leaving the total 3 million.
I completely forgot about the wreck episode until this, but I know for a fact I became obsessed with the octopus henchmonster. Couldn't tell you how many green felt tips my kid self used when drawing that guy over and over. Thanks for the supersized nostalgia hit!
It's amazing what we obsess over as children, and even more so that we forget about it at some point during adulthood until reminded.
I'm always having songs pop into my head out of nowhere, only to realize it was something I heard as a kid and hadn't thought about for years.
Case in point: 'Leave It' by Yes has been on rotation in my music player because out of nowhere last week "One down, one to go" entered by brain despite not having heard the song since the 1980s.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Seems like that ghostly football team on Beetlejuice was having a very good time shake shake shake Senora.
That film had to have done a hell of a lot to revitalize the career of Harry Belafonte.
If the "Wonder Bowl" is the Scooby Universe's version of the Super Bowl, then I doubt that a few missing players will affect attendance that much.
This was 1976, though, so long before the halftime commercials became almost as big a draw as the game itself.
The very first Super Bowl (1967) was not a sellout. It is the only one, needless to say.
Honestly, I am surprised the gang aren’t officially private detectives/investigators at this point
They'd have to get licensed, obtain insurance and pay taxes.
That'd scare ANYONE away from the business!

Dorado is the same as Gold, just a different word but same meaning. You can also say El Diablo de Oro. Although I’ve never heard the word “Doro” I believe you mean to put “De Oro”
I dunno. I was just putting what the episode said into Google Translate and that's what it gave me.
If I had to guess, I think the writers probably would have used "Diablo Dorado" as the name of the ship had they bothered to check with an actual Spanish speaker before writing the script.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Google translate isn’t too reliable at times. Either way great video! Can’t wait for more
Poisson and Pescado both mean fish. Along with Carp, Mcfin and McGill this made for one fishy episode.
For the 70s that was probably as clever as we’d see on Saturday mornings.

Scooby doo where the crew is one of my favorite episodes. Kinda reminds me of the Monstrum game where your stuck on a ship with monsters.
Though unfamiliar with the game, I googled some images and can see where you're coming from.
Both the Octopus Monster in this episode and what I see from the game you mentioned feel inspired by Lovecraft.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I rarely comment on your stuff (I think the last time I did was when I pointed out that Shaggy was missing a toe in an animation error) but I would like to say that I always look forward to your analysis videos. You've really helped reignite my love for Scooby-Doo as well as old animation, in general.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind words, and I'm thrilled what I produce inspires anything in anyone!

I always loved the rablimg ghosts design think the old fashioned gear added to the spookyness
There really is something to be said for how older fashion designs have an inherent creepiness factor to them.
Just think. In 100 years, ghosts will be wearing flannel shirts and crocs.

Bulldog Krontoski is a reference to famous Bears player Bronko Nagurski who ran into the wall at wrigley field causing a crack in it also helped lead the Bears to many Championships also I love the usage of that clip from M*A*S*H
I'm sure there's any number of references I'm going to miss, so thank you for your insight!
As for the 'MASH' clip, or any other cutaways, you're getting a glimpse into my mind. My memories of TV shows or films play a huge part in how I see the world, or rather, specific scenes or quotes do that, so it's not uncommon for my brain to immediately pull up a film or television moment when hearing the correct trigger word.
See "Sabotage", "Decade", "Surely", etc.

Hilariously perfect timing for the Super Bowl this Sunday
I know so little about football that I had no idea it was this weekend!
I mean, I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when, nor who was playing apart from some people being angry that one of the quarterbacks was dating a popular singer who told young people it's important to vote.

The Rambling Ghost was foreshadowed in the Demon episode as one the wax statues, albeit in a different design.
It was indeed. I expect when they were putting together the previous episode, the background artists grabbed a bunch of reference material lying around the studio which included concept art for future airings.

I know revenge is a dessert best served cold, but why wait 10 year? I theorize the Buck Bender was in a mental hospital.
That would explain the haircut and mustache.
Scooby Doo does a lot more aquatic-themed villains than I remembered. But I don’t guess I can blame them. The sea is filled with good inspiration
The sea is creepy as all get out.

Somebody start a clothing drive because that football player needs a new jersey🇯🇪

Diablo D’Oro means “Devil’s Gold.”
The ghost of captain pescado and the rambling ghost should be laughing instead of growling
Love these episodes, among my fave ones of The Scooby Doo Show so great to see they both got an above average ranking, love how creepy The Rambling Ghost looks and love the sea/ship setting in the other episode, always is one of my fave settings for Scooby Doo.

I don't know about the ghosts in episode 15 (aside from them getting low outfit scores), but the finale ghosts are sure as hell going near the bottom since apparently not a single one of them thought to look a little closer at what they were stealing.
I'm on the home stretch with the second-to-last episode's villains, and without giving anything away, it's likely regular viewers will have a pretty good idea my thoughts on what's coming up.
I haven't watched the very last episode yet (at least, not since I was so young that I would have forgotten everything about it by now), so I'm cautiously intrigued by your words.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
The Sea Monsters and Rambling Ghost are some of my favourite villains in the franchise.
You're not the only one who mentioned this and admittedly it's taken me a bit by surprise to know these guys are favorites for anyone.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, and my video certainly put them in a positive light, but these guys aren't exactly who immediately springs to mind for most when asked for popular Scooby-Doo villains.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I always look forward to these videos.
And I look forward to reading nice comments like yours!
Thank you for them, and for watching!
I assume they lifted Fred, because in case one of the monsters happened by, he'd be more able to defend himself. This was the 70s, they could not have the gals defending themselves, yet.
That's a fair point.
I don't think it ever got as bad as what we saw in 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies', but there was a definite whiff of sexism in early Scooby-Doo at times.
@@JoeGoesOver honestly, the more modern incarnations, dating back to the 80s have been the most watchable. If you set aside, shaggy and Scooby, and their appetite/cowardice, the other main three were more or less interchangeable. The more recent series, dating back to, I think pup named Scooby Doo, actually gave them some character. Freddy being a big dumb himbo, for example. Way better than the generic blandness.
Very true. The three of them seemed to have some personality in 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?', but for me they really started coming into their own with 'Mystery Incorporated'.
@@JoeGoesOver Yeah, up till the more modern incarnations, Shaggy and Scooby more or less carried the show. The other three were bland as unseasoned oatmeal. I mean, it reached the point that HB eventually just cut Fred, Daphne and Velma from the franchise entirely, and left it all on those two + Scrappy. This is what led to Scrappy's 'Most Annoying' status, as he now had to find most of the clues, get himself damseled, and pretty much fill all the roles they had to.

I don't remember if it was football, but I remember this one time my mom found a small toy that looked like a ghost or zombie athlete while digging through a drawer and asked me if I wanted to keep it. I told her that I wasn't interested and that "It looks like a rejected Scooby-Doo monster." which got a laugh out of her. The Rambling Ghost immediately comes to mind whenever I think of that story even though it could've easily been some other sport.
Superman had a phantom quarterback back in the early 70's.

I would guess Carp and his men would have taken anyone who wanted to go back to shore, dropped them off, then when the gang weren’t paying attention, headed back to the ship to continue with their plan or Carp might tell the gang he and his men were going back to try and convince the Professor to abandon the mission. Although, most likely, no one was expected to accept the offer.
Fair enough. Anything's possible!

I can't help but think of Jacques Cousteau. When I hear the name of this experience scuba diver.
Watching this after seeing the episode from What’s New with the baseball specter, I can already picture the rambling ghost popping up after a “why does that sound……. Familiar…?” if you ever cover that episode here. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for the kind words!
It's been ages since I've done a complete re-watch of 'What's New?', so I guess we'll see (hopefully) when I get there!
As I do more of these videos, it may become more difficult for me to remember the plot points from episodes I covered a year or two earlier, since my old man brain is turning to mush.
Thanks for watching!
That joke you make about the gang being experienced scuba divers despite Shaggy saying he can’t swim only works because of inconsistency or more likely lying. My man, this is Shaggy we’re talking about. He lies all the time when he’s scared to death of something and wants to run away from being bait. Obviously he’s gonna lie about not swimming just like the chicken he is. Although, with Ultra Instinct power in his veins, maybe he’s afraid his power will be triggered by swimming and break reality?
In the words popularized by Mark Twain: “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics”, Shaggy may have been lying, but it takes an effort to make one that obvious in front of your friend with whom you've spent time scuba diving in the past.
That's why I'm such a proponent for every Scooby series taking place in its own universe.
Point After Touchdown (PAT) and Two-Point Conversions are untimed plays which teams are required to go for if there is any time left in the game. If a touchdown is scored with :00 on the clock resulting in one team ahead of another, no PAT or 2-PT conversion is necessary nor required (anymore, don't ask it was a dumb NFL rule that's been abandoned); if a touchdown is scored with :00 on the clock and a PAT or 2-PT conversion can tie or win the game then the team will go for it to force overtime or win the game.
Those 0-0 scores give me flashbacks to the overhyped "Game of the Century" 2011 LSU-Alabama debacle that was the "Bore of the Century" with 5 combined field goals in regulation and overtime. That was 4 hours of my life that I wish I had done something else with...like watch old Scooby-Doo content.
Admittedly, I don't know much about football, but I do know enough that I would always, ALWAYS, pick watching old Scooby-Doo content over a game!
Thank you for sharing your insight!
And for watching!
It’s crazy, I’ve watched a ton of Scooby Doo over the years, but I’d never seen the first episode of the review. Idk why but to me the kelp monster kinda reminded me of the Wax Phantom in its design. The Rambling Ghost is one of my favorite villains in design, though it might be because I like football. I also never noticed how much Scooby-Doo Show villains were included in Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed.
The live-action sequel was allegedly supposed to include a lot more classic monsters, if all accounts can be believed.
It would have made for a more interesting film, that's for certain.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

When I think of that green slime monster, I think of what Dr. Venkman said. Somebody blows their nose, and you want to keep it.
Snot monsters are very scary.
Especially for parents, because we have to live with them!
When you need to get What's New Scooby Doo you'll have to go over another plot involving the ghost of a former athlete.
Also, you explaining Judge Doom's plan made me realize that he's basically a substitute for General Motors. Cause GM did equally shady things in LA during the time period that the film is set in to control the transit system.
Yeah that’s what I had in mind
I've seen UA-camrs explain that Roger Rabbit was just a repurposed script for a proposed sequel to 'Chinatown', which makes sense as the film diverged greatly from the novel.
Each of the three Jake Gittes films were/were to have been devoted to corruption in one of the major California industries.

50:11: I’m not into Football either, but I did see a “Goofy” Sports short about Football, and they had something involving a star player being used as a last resort as well. Perhaps back then, it’s a bit of a practice that when one team has better players, the other team would have to do the same to get the upper hand, depending on weakness.
I know in the film 'MASH' (1970), keeping a secret star player benched was part of a gambling scheme by the film's protagonists, but I can't believe that'd have a lot of applications in real life.
But again, admittedly, I don't know much about football...
I love The Scooby-Doo Show Villains.
ahhhhh these two episodes and the next one are 3 of the episodes of the scooby doo show i have seen the most due to my grandmother recording them and a bunch other where are you and the scooby doo show episodes on a vhs for me.
This reminds me of "The Purple Smurf" episode of 'The Smurfs' cartoon from the 1980s.
Before my family had a VHS player, I would record some of my favorite shows by placing a cassette recorder next to the TV's speaker, so I could at least listen to the episode again.
A few months ago, I happened upon "The Purple Smurf" while checking out one of the streaming platforms and nostalgia forced me to watch that particular episode. Despite over four decades [ACE DECADE] having passed, I found myself reciting the lines along with the characters onscreen.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always great to see this pop up on my feed!
With how familiar many of these villain plots are sounding, part of me wonders if it's only a matter of time before they all sound familiar. Either because the writers run out of ideas or because there's only so much truly fresh schemes that can be made before things have to be recycled. Time will tell.
Thank you for your nice words!
It's too early to say, but judging from how unique so many storylines exist from later in the franchise's life, I would guess the repeated story beats and villain schemes are more indicative of Hanna-Barbera pushing writers to hurry up with scripts than a lack of talent.
The studio didn't want to pay to hire more writers, artists and animators, so it's no surprise they'd take shortcuts like recycled plots and character models.

53:14: Meanwhile, in Joe Barbera’s bedroom, he was given the Godfather treatment.
Love the first episode covered here (most aquatic episodes are awesome) but never really cared for the football one
While it's admittedly been quite a few years since I last saw 'The Scooby-Doo Show', the football one was familiar, but I had zero recollection of the sea monsters.
It makes me wonder at times the choices made by networks and syndication stations as to which episodes they decide to air.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think there was a football ghost in an episode of Big Wolf on Campus.
Being a previous football player myself, I knw this came out before, but the main antagonist Sudden Death in NFL rush zone is a mummified cyborg antagonist granted the only thing between him and the rambling ghost is red eyes, and capturing football icons is all. I like my concept art for the rambling ghost has threads in his lips over his mouth like a football(kinda making him look like Purple Haze from Jojo GW), heck a cool power I gave for the rambling ghost is muddy/foggy haze with freezing rain weather that makes games unbearable. I know coach made us stand/practice in it "oh good times go bye".
Whats more ironic is our teams #13 and I were both Scooby lovers, and our nickname for him was Rambling Ghost.
I'm fairly literate in most western animation, meaning if it had some bit of popularity I would likely have heard of the show, even if never having watched an episode.
I had never heard of "NFL Rush Zone" before your post. Judging by the voice actors , it looks like it was mostly staffed with video game/anime dub performers, which generally portends a more limited availability to see it.
I'm guessing the series was meant to bridge the gap between cartoon loving kids and football loving kids, with the NFL hopeful that they could bring more fans to their sport?
Either way, thank you very much for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver Love your content, NFL rush zone isnt great but its closest i can think to the rambling ghost.
0-0 means that the teams could be both really good or bad. Both teams could have inept offenses or both could have outstanding defenses. Also no, it makes no sense to have your star player out of the game until the end unless Fred meant that he was coming back into the game after his team got the ball back. Also the point after attempt freezes the clock so there is no incentive not to kick it but I think your mob theory could still be valid
I had an uncle who tried to get me into football as a kid, and to put it in perspective, the Raiders hadn't even moved the first time by then.
So needless to say, my memory of a lot of the intricacies of the game are a wee bit stale.
Thank you for your insight and for watching!
I just realized there are three seasons and over thirty episodes of The Scooby-Doo Show, so we're gonna be here for a while. Hopefully that ends up being a good thing. There is a Football Player Zombie enemy in the video game franchise Plants vs. Zombies, but that is a zombie and not a ghost even if they're both undead creatures.
Next episode will have the ice cream episode, one I distinctly remember from my childhood alongside the already covered 10,000 Volt Ghost episode. I suspect the three phantoms will not score very well in the outfit department since they are just recolors of the Green Ghosts from WAY?`, but my nostalgia will have me liking them (and the episode itself) regardless.
Great job as usual Joe!
Thank you very much for the kind words!

Quick technical point: until recently, NFL rules required an extra point to be kicked. Teams had no choice.
Ahh, that's good to know!
As I said, I'm no expert in football.
Still, you'd think the team could have done something to ride out the clock.

Well Velma does carry around Shaggys medicene and Shaggy has her spare glasses.
Why wouldn't the profosser run? Especially if he knows their just crooks. As you point out they tried tying him up. Whats he gonna do? Say go sick em Velma? Nope run away is the play.
So Bender works for Q branch that explains alot of the episode. With q gadgets making like a ghost is the least you can do.
Those scrawny French guys! Always running away from a fight!
Awesome ranking as always! I've never seen either episode sadly so I'll be ranking based off of what I've heard in this video

2) Rambling Ghost

Finally some nice villain scores, it's been a while
I admit tough, i found the sea captain episode pretty forgettable. I don't think it's really the villains fault tough, is just that the plot is pretty standard and most of the episode is just based on locking doors. The designs of the villains are nice tough. I notice then while in the New Scooby Doo movies you based yourself more on the in universe characters reaction to determine if a villain was scary, while now you are basing it on the costume design itself. It makes sense to me because that series werdly showed the characters aside for Shaggy and Scooby nit scared of the monsters a bunch of time, while this never does that so if you based the score on the gang's reaction every villain would be considered scary. I agree with that approch, if anything i think some old villains got a bit too much credit like the ghost of Fireball McPhane that without the special effect just looked like a normal dude, altough on the other hand it could get a bit too subjective at time, like the kelp monster could very well be considered scary by many and i saw people thinking that. In other instances it makes sense like i doubt anyone thinks Merlin was scary, it lacked any scary feature and just looked like a standard wizard. I did expect that exact score on the design, and something on that line for ourfit and operation. I didn't realized it would have got that hight tough. I dis noticed the glowing effect bring inconsistent tough.
The clue was really just for the audience and wasn't really needed for the characters, but again, figuring out who the villain is beforhand is seldom really important, they are gonna find out after the trap anyways.
I laugh at the way you pronounce Poisson. At first i tought he could have bern Pescado since thir names mean the same thing, pretty silly reason i know, but it would have been a better twist, the actual culptits where blatantly obvious, another reason why i wound the episode forgettable.
On Fred being obsessed with splitting up, A Pup Named Scooby Doo seems to go with that interpretation. One time he said that right after claming that they would have a better chance if they stay togheter, another one after solving the mistery and another in a small trailer with no space to split up.
I also expected the Rambling Ghost to got a five in outfit. It's really a good design, pretty underdated imo. I didn't expected the operation score to get so low, but i did noticed some mistakes specially with that newspaper, forst time i saw the villain writing on a piece of paper i tought it was some kind of document he needed for his scheme but no, he was apparently just circling a photo for no reason.
I think human disguise was to get more easy acces on the "special effects" like the mechanical eagle. I am surprised you didn't mentioned that part i fount it pretty clever.
Yeah the shrinkin it's a bit too much, i am ok with stuff that is just a visual gag, but making them actually shrink is too much and break the grounded feeling of this series, altough i liked one instance in the original series when Scooby launched a block of ice against a keyhole and the ice got shaped like a key. It was so absurd that made me laugh. But that should be limited or it's gonna become like any other gag based cartoon, like it's going to happen in the Scrappy era when it's just him Scooby and Shaggy, there is one episode in wich the steam turn them into babies. I am ok with that in Pup because it fits with the aestetic of the series (and it's usually just visual gags anywyas even if exagerated) but i know you hate that one.
Revenge scheme may be less beneficial then money schemes, but i found them a nice change of pace sometimes. They are gonna become more common in some of my favourite series like What's New and Mystery inc wich makes me fear a bit for the scores (Mystery Inc in particual have some intentionally stupid ones). The mafia theory is interesting and makes a lot of sense. When you say the second time, wich you are counting as the first? Iirc you teorized mob involvment at least two times, Backstage Rage and the third Globetrotters episode, and i don't think they where ever involved officially for now (i think the foist time it really happen is during the scrappy era. There is one series in woch Shaggy Svooby and Scrappy worked on a detective sgency and in one episode they had to recover stolen diamonds from a mobster)
For the next one, unfortunatly we have some reused models again, altough basing the color schemes of the ghosts on ice cream flavours was a nice tough so maybe they are gonna get at least an extra point, even if that might make them less scary as well, and they lack special effects i think. For the revolutionary ghosts their schemes should get an easy one i think. It might be original, but i think the fact that they where stealing wortless currency nullify that, expecially since they should havre realized that if they made a bit more reaserch on how the mint works.
Admittedly, I do seem to be exhibiting a lack of consistency when it comes to rating a costume's ability to inspire fear or its originality specifically from an audience's perspective or from the protagonists' perspective. It's just going to be one of those things that I'll decide at the moment of writing the script, based on whatever mindset I had at the time. Most scripts are written over several days, and occasionally I'll change my mind about some elements while proofing, so what you see that ends up on camera is my most firm thoughts on the subject.
With my suggestion about the possibility of a second time the mob may have been involved, I was thinking how the Ghost of Fireball McPhan wanted to turn a high school stadium into a race track for gambling, which would likely involve organized crime, though I'm sure I mentioned possible mob ties in earlier videos (but can't immediately remember off the top of my head).
The script is mostly complete for my next video featuring the final two episodes of season one, so hopefully by the middle or end of next week you'll see how I handled the points you brought up!

I can't actually find a source for it but over the years I've seen more than a few places claim that Shaggy and Velma were originally going to be siblings in the pre-production stage of Where Are You?, which admittedly goes a long way in explaining stuff like Velma having Shaggy's cold medicine in the pilot and Shaggy having Velma's spare glasses in the Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman episode.
That's both fascinating and believable from a pre-production standpoint, and also icky and gross from a "how the characters were in a relationship in 'Mystery Incorporated' years later" standpoint.
If that's not a holdover from a potential sibling relationship, it may have been the writers just trying to find a way of explaining how Shaggy got some cold medicine or Velma got her spare glasses if another character had been holding them, rather than simply magicking them into existence.
This is a concern they obviously quickly dropped, considering how often Shaggy and Scooby pull full disguises out of thin air when trying to trick a villain.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
45:50 Maybe he was writing fanfiction? Although the taxes one is good too.
Well, Bender was a creepy, revenge-obsessed weirdo, so it's also possible it was some sort of antigovernmental manifesto.
Good thing the Scooby Gang got him before he had a chance to move to a deserted Montana wilderness cabin and start building bombs!

I feel like we need to investigate possible CTE for Crunch and Flash and they just stood there in that hidden room and it took Velma all of 5 seconds to get them out. I still love these episodes though, there was at least a bit of a departure in setting and villains.
TBF, Velma needed her hairpin to free them which is something they didn't have.
Actually, I don't see the bag or air pump in any prior shots either. I think she got them from the same place that Scooby and Shaggy get their various disguises.
I did originally write something that brought up possible concussions suffered by the two sports stars and why they might not have thought to remove their gear, but eventually cut it.
It might come as a surprise to my regular viewers that I DO occasionally cut stuff!
Thank you very much for commenting and for watching!
Even as a kid I thought it was strange that a good amount of the Pescado episode was spent having the ghosts lock the gang up only for them to escape pretty much immediately before being locked up again despite enjoying it overall.
The only reason I could think of for faking their departure and subsequent would be to ruled out as suspects if the authorities were contacted and they were forced to make their escape early, if the gang accompanied them they likely either would've been kidnapped or subjected to a watery end. They can't be suspects if they're not there.
Of course, that plan ultimately failed since the professor must've seen them before they could change into their costumes at some point in order to know who abducted him.
If I had to guess, I think the three of them overpowered Poisson in his cabin without wearing their disguises, since what would be the point? They were planning on locking him in the brig, not scare him away, so it wouldn't matter if he knew who was kidnapping him.
I do have to ask why the cabin was that torn up? You'd think three large sailors would have been able to abduct a skinny researcher without too much effort.

Jacques Cousteau had popped up a LOT in pop culture references over the years, but like much of the humor in 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' and 'Loony Tunes', they're not going to age well for the future audiences.

"The Rambling Ghost"... Maybe they should have called him "De@d Grange" instead.
I'll bet the writers absolutely considered it, but Standards and Practice probably didn't allow them to use the word "dead" so prominently in a Saturday Morning cartoon.
The rambing ghost was in monster unleashed as a costume and can be view in the dvd extra although it look like a skeleton in a jersey and helmet that make me think how bug bender could wear the costume?
Awesome Video bro! When will you rank the Villains from What's New Scooby Doo and Mystery Incorporated?
Depending on how much scrappy doo he does as the first season was normal episodes and there was some select episodes after that then there’s a pup name Scooby doo

Joe, I just worked ten hours at my job in preparation for the Super Bowl, and got home with Popeyes for dinner to watch UA-cam on my Apple TV-to discover you uploaded. My crappy work day was instantly forgotten. Thanks for all your hard work. I hope to one day do a video essay of my own on the golden age Wonder Woman (I’m currently reading all the omnibuses that have come out) and I hope you’ll get to see it!
I have wanted to ask you, since you finished the New Scooby-Doo Movies, if you could pick any guest star to appear on that show or Scooby Doo and Guess Who (be it someone modern, or someone from the 70’s, or someone who has passed away), who would you pick? For me, for a 70’s celebrity I’d pick The Ramones (maybe they show up during a mystery of a haunted music academy as a references to The Ramones’ “Rock and Roll High School”) or for a more modern celebrity I’d pick either Guy Fieri or the late Robin Williams or Steve Irwin.
Have a wonderful day!
Good luck with your own video and do whatever you can to finish it! One thing doing this channel has taught me is that creativity should always be encouraged, in almost every form. I've found that even when reading, watching or listening to art that doesn't appeal to me personally, I'll still appreciate the time, effort and passion that went into creating it.
Within reason, of course. I would be hard-pressed to call any Asylum film "art".
You're not the only one who would have loved to have seen Robin Williams meet the Gang. When this question pops up, he's usually at the top of proposed guest stars. For myself, it's difficult to say. I've never been one who was particularly fond of the idea of "guest stars" since it can go very wrong if you're not careful *cough Vince McMahon *cough, but off the top of my head, I would get a kick out of the actual voice actors appearing in the series. I know this actually happened a few times over the years, but if I could pick anyone living or dead, I'd choose everyone who ever voiced a Scooby character- Don Messick, Heather North, Casey Kasem, etc.
I'm... a bit of a voice nerd.

I can't really say this far in advance. There have been times when going into an episode I expected the villain ranking to go one way, but after giving it some thought decided to go another.

As much as I don’t like the Scooby doo show reusing monster designs, at least reusing the green ghosts designs made scary monsters.
I mean, yeah? I guess if they're going to cheap out with production, they may as well use the better designs!
At least space kook never got a reused model keeping him all the more unique.
Considering how poorly that one live action movie Cotton Candy monster faired against Shaggy and Scooby, that kelp monster suit wearing bad guy is lucky they haven't yet apparently had time to eat much east Asian cuisine. Cause I am fairly sure if that one guy in the clunky suit got jumped by a ravenously hungry teenager totting a bottle of soy sauce and a hungry great dane out for some grub, they wouldn't have done so well.
For the second case: Wouldn't having a steam room operating at night with no supervision and nobody on site to keep an eye on it constitute as a fire hazard? Heck, if the villain wanted revenge, they should have just snuck underground and committed arson to burn the whole stadium to the ground/damage large parts of the field via the steam room. I'm sure any insurance company investigators would take a look at the steam room left running overnight combined with the claimant having financial difficulties looking a bit suspicious, and either found a valid reason or some loophole to avoid paying. Considering how badly the owner needed these games to be played, wouldn't simply getting them canceled have been enough to ruin him if he as the owner was proven to have poor fire safety practices? Especially if we think about the potential of organized crime being involved. Which could influence the suspect pool and let the culprit sneak off back to their own life with little worry of being tied to the crime, short of making any major mistakes?
With the massive amount of Scooby-Doo related media out there- TV shows, books, comic books, movies, View Master reels, etc.- it would absolutely come as no surprise if your scenario already happened.
And there are indeed so many options for a truly determined person out for revenge! Prentice is lucky to be alive!

A Pup 🐶 Named Scooby-Doo is a much better series 😊
I'm going to respectfully disagree.
I am not a fan of 'A Pup Named Scooby-Doo', based a lot on how poorly animated it was, but there's also just something about "child versions" of established characters that never appealed to me, even when I was a child myself and the intended audience.

All hail the mighty algoritm.
It's both the God and Devil of UA-cam content creators!
Though I lean more toward the latter when it comes to my own opinion.

how were they going to clean the gold salt water isn't good for any metal
The Scooby producers left quite a few unanswered questions, didn't they?
In this day and age, most of their audience has seen enough documentaries to know that recovered treasure from a seawater shipwreck would be blackened until properly restored.

I mean another reason for the football team owner not doing well may be the fact that he employed black players in the 1970s and investors weren't paying for that reason.
That's a VERY dark rationale and sadly, well within the realm of possibility.
F****** 1970s!

Why is it that sea monsters are almost always green? If you didn't point out that the Morse code was wrong I wouldn't have known, Morse code confuses me hell even when a Poptropica island had a Morse code guide for you to use when doing Morse code I was confused. Football Ghosts is honestly one of the weirdest villain concepts to me
I grew up with a HAM radio enthusiast who tried to get me interested (it didn't take, but my brother fell into it for a while). That's probably the only reason I even noticed something wasn't on the up and up.
Sea monsters are always green for the same reason animated farts are always green. It just feels right.

In football extra points the other team returning an extra points is only worth one points it actually they couldn’t have lost off that it is actually considered bad sportsmanship not to kick the ball extra
I played little league baseball and if my experience is anything to go by, "bad sportsmanship" is nothing that will stop a determined enough team.
Unfortunately.

Actually that was one of my favorite episodes the first time I saw that I felt like they had hope for the show because they included all five characters almost equally and that hadn't been done in a long time it wasn't to last though after this they began to phase Fred Daphne and Velma out
For a long period of time in the Scooby-Dooinverse, they didn't seem to know what to do with Fred, Daphne and Velma.
Bad enough that we got the later series when two or three of them were completely omitted!
By the time of the Scooby Renaissance films, though, they started to work the kinks out.
Those three have definitely come a long way!

@@JoeGoesOver its going to be interesting as to how you explain some of the episodes in that series, referring to the scooby doo mysteries. The crimes were so much more petty. Whats new Scooby doo didnt have any really big financial gains, And as you mentioned in other reviews, about the uncles and aunts that have monster problems, in Whats new Scooby Doo they didnt have a lot of haunted relatives.
I've been asked several times how I'll handle some future series that seemed to do away with the mystery formula and just focus on silly hijinks of Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy. If they don't have villains and schemes, I won't really be able to do a Ranking, so it's likely I'll just skip ahead to the series that do.
we allready had one velma panty shot, no reason to give fred full look, daphne is fine. a guys eyes should always be above a girls skirtline.
That's very true.
It's funny how many have pointed out what I had so obviously missed, despite my having drawn attention to Velma's wardrobe malfuction.
