    This video took me longer than it probably should have. I'm going to try mixing in less editing intense videos with the more highly edited ones to see if I can put out videos quicker. Anyways, thanks for watching!

      7:46: Although, some people believe the replay footage was indoctored, as we saw Dastardly win without that extension... but then again, it didn't stop Peter Perfect and Rufus Roughcut from winning the Race by doing the same tactic. Regardless, there's a certain bias on how he was treated.

      you forgot to mention that in the late 2000's Dick and Muttley did appear in the unsold pilot Wacky Races Forever where he works for a man name Vic Roy who plans to take over Perfect Industries by making sure Parker and Pipper Perfect would lose the race. (Fun Facts: In the pilot, Dick is voiced by Jim Cummings, who also voiced Tigger in Winnie the Pooh after Paul death and that in the pilot, Peter and Penelope are married)

    Interesting note about the Wacky Races is that it was super popular in Japan. So if you ever wondered why a villain of Japanese origin looks similar to Dick or why an anime has a Wacky Race inspired episode, there's your answer. And yes, Waluigi was probably inspired by Dick Dastardly, as well as other Dastardly descendants like Boyacky.

    It should probably be worth mentioning technical appearances of Dastardly, as the Dread Baron in Yogi Bear and the Spruce Goose movie or Laff-A-Lympics (the former being voiced by Paul Winchell while the latter apparently is not), complete with the dog assistant named Mumbly (both mirror their Wacky Races counterparts).
    And unrelated, they parodied Dastardly and Muttley on episode 4 of Pop Team Epic season 1 as cheating racers who are mosaic censored (done as a joke of trying to “bypass” copyright infringement).

    Good video, though I think it would have been good to point out the whole debacle with Dastardly and Mutley being replaced by obvious stand ins for the Laugh-a-lympics special and the Goose Boose movie, initially as a result of right disputes between Hanna-Barbera and Heatter-Quigley Productions.

    In my opinion, Dick Dastardly is one of the cutest cartoon villains. He gets so sweet when he’s not angry and sometimes shows feelings and humanity towards Muttley and others. In Scoob! he’s a scary villain, but in “Flying Machines” I think he’s more like an anti-hero.

    This video forgot to mention that British comedian Terry-Thomas had a very big influence on Dick Dastardly, more so than Jack Lemon. Take for example Terry-Thomas's dirty schemes to win the London to Paris air race in THOSE MAGINICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES by sabotouging the other pilots' planes. DD did the the same thing in WACKY RACES. This video also forgot to mention Dastardly and Muttley's appearance in the 1990-91 series the FENDER BENDER 500, a segment of WAKE RATTLE ANND ROLL. In that cartoon DD wore the same uniform he wore in the WACKY RACES and he drove the Mean Machine as he did in WR with a few modification and it was rechristened the Dirty Truckster. Both WACKY RACES & DASTARDLY & MUTTLEY were cartoon versions OF THE GREAT RACE & THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THE THEIR FLYING MACHINES, the former a combination of both. Personally, I like Dick Dastardly more than Jack Lemon's Professor Fate.

    I think we can go deeper into the origins of doctor fate, who himself was patterned over the villains of old silent movies. He shares many elements with Snidely Whiplash of Duddley Do-Right, who himself is a take off from "O'Malley of the Mountain". I couldn't tell you who the ur-example of the mustache twirling evil villain would be, but Dick Darstardly comes from a longer line of villains then you suspect

    Honestly, now I NEED to read the Ennis book and watch Scoob. That's hilarious!
    And it makes sense that his presence in Scoob is BECAUSE he failed hard AF, but got his best friend screwed over as a result. Likely because Muttley didnt want his friend to suffer even more than he already has. That's a good and almost heartwarming turn for him. And I think he's done the same for Muttley in one of his previous incarnations.

    I'd argue Dick Dastardly's look is more influenced by Terry-Thomas, the antagonist in _Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines,_ which beat _The Great Race_ to the big screen by about two weeks. Smeared with a thick coat of Snidley Whiplash from _Dudley Do-Right._

    I just realized that old Cartoon Network did some Hanna Barbara references in their old days like Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls and such but not a single reference to Dick Dastardly and Muttley, that's extremely disappointing.
    For example Samurai Jack has had Hanna Barbara references too including the old sound effects. Can you imagine Dick Dastardly and Muttley reimagined as Bounty Hunters in Samurai Jack as a cameo appearance, wouldn that be cool?
    Such a missed opportunity even from a studio of animators who were big fans of Hanna Barbara :(

    The thing is, like you mentioned, DD is often way ahead in the race, when he goes to sabotage. ALSO, almost ALL of the other racers cheat. When DD was setback for cheating, a lot of the other cars had similar gadgets, that had features that were just as egregious. Even though DD sabotaged himself & usually got what he deserved, the race also was likely rigged against him. Perfect's car could also extend its nose & you know he'd never be called out for using that.
