Scooby Dudes - Episode 13: "The Ghostly Creep from the Deep" - Title Card by Leslie Pulsifer

The New Scooby-Doo Movies - Season 1, Episode 12: "The Ghostly Creep from the Deep" - Title Card by Unknown

Scooby-Doo's strange, inexplicable superpower is seen only briefly in the intro. What is this power? Why doesn't he use it more? Hanna-Barbera won't return our calls.

It wasn't what the gang said that stung the cheekless man so, but the way they fondled their faces while they said it.

The cheekless man laid his hands against Shaggy's face. Such a beautiful face.

Meadowlark Lemon is bummed he's not voiced by the real Medowlark Lemon.

The gang had no idea that people of color could play basketball! 

Legend-even-in-his-time Meadowlark Lemon delivers a compassionate lecture on the nature and value of human equality.

Animator: "How scary realistic should we make the alligator?"

Other Animator: "Make it a crocodile. Those are scarier."

What was thought to be a new photograph of Bigfoot later turned out to be The Office's Creed Bratton, who instinctively turned to looks at the camera.

Meadowlark terrifies Shaggy and Scooby by directing their attention to a foodless surface.

To the naked eye, this may appear to be a silhouetted person spinning a basketball on their finger. But to the trained eye of a seasoned Scooby or Shaggy, it's clearly a bog monster.

The mad scientist of Human Centipede infamy had a few less successful attempts.

Curly Neal: "Hold me, Meadowlark, I'm scared!"

Meadowlark Lemon: "If you promise not to use a wrestling grip on my back this time."

I'm not drawing any immediate conclusions, but Hanna-Barbera received huge sums of money from 'Big Dental' right before they introduced a villain which was just a giant set of unbrushed teeth.

Animator: "How do you think the pirate ghost dressed?"

Colorist: "For starters, all white."

Ghost pirates, much like cockroaches, believe that if they don't move you can't see them.

Daphne: "Help, my palm is doing that clenching thing again!"

Contrary to the standard perpetuated by this episode, a closet full of canonballs is more likely to end up harming a member of the household than a home invader.

Redbeard thought that the job description read: "rave and pillage". 

The bite from the radioactive owl began to take effect in mere seconds.

Velma: "Fred, even if you lower me it still looks really far down . . ."

Fred: "You're right Velma. It's so brave of you to go through with this."

It only appeared once in an episode, but Scooby always carried with him one sign that said HELP and another that said !!!.

Against Shaggy's warnings, Scooby unwisely chooses to mock Redbeard's inability to grow a moustache.

Soapy Sam slings his signature move, Soap Bucket Slide, and sprints after it. We later learn he was just an incredibly theatrical criminal pretending to be a pirate.

You can't make this stuff up.

Because they already did.

Bobby Joe "BJ" Mason didn't get his nickname for nothing, and he still has the ball-jabbing skills to show it!

Animator: "-and when they jump, it should feel exciting and optimistic. Like they're best friends having an adventure. Got it?"

Depressed Animator: "Got it."

My face when I've pulled a Netflix all-nighter.

Officer Dugan let Velma's question rest unanswered for a long moment. Why had he dressed up as "Swampy Pete", curmudgeon hermit of the bayou to terrorize the teenagers? "Police business," He told them, and himself.

The Globetrotters actually set a legal precedent for Airbud by being the first to use the "Nothing In The Rules Against It" argument successfully.

The real crowd favorite always came in the 4th quarter when Pablo Robertson drove out the cherry picker to join the forklift and the Globetrotters scored 200 sequential points

In fairness, there was nothing in the rules against it.

The cruelest aspect of this Globetrotters stunt is that they got the opposing team to help them set up the contraption. 

If you dare him, Luke might just get this exact moment as a tattoo.
