In all fairness, drivers are instructed to pull the seatbelt so that it lies flat across their chest.

Some people say that 13 Ghosts is disturbing. Other people agree.

First animator: "Can I take pictures of you and use them to animate Scooby walking from behind?"

Second animator: "Sure, just lemme get my spandex suit with tail."

One of the longest-running gags in the series is Shaggy and Scooby laughing at enormous dagwood sandwiches and then not eating them.

Sometimes you can feel your mind recording something for use in a later nightmare.

Shagilligan's Isle was Vincent Van Ghoul's favorite TV show to watch during dinner.

A 10-second Scooby Sing-along in the middle of a non-musical episode.

Dee dee dee de dee dee dee dee dee deet

We interrupt this broadcast for a sidegag.

Scrappy reveals that he was wearing a wire the entire time.

The gang pitches a restaurant concept, Cold Bone Meatery, where everything but the songs is rare.

You can tell by the dragon's interest in this sporty, brand new car that it has reached middle age.

Hanna-Barbera eventually broke from the animation studio tradition of "Left Hand Fridays".

For those of you who wanted 127 Hours but with Scooby-Doo characters, there is this brief scene.

Also: get help.

The Giant Nutcracker Rats are faced with a foe they could never prepared for: a corked bottle.

Scrappy implies that Scooby-Doo was involved in the Bhopal Disaster.

This actually happens every time two characters dress the same in Scooby-Doo.

That said, this is the only time two characters have ever dressed the same.

What Scooby really wanted for Christmas was a Santa from his own dimension.

I Am Legend, get your checkbook out.

Scrappy learns the hard way why to always look where you're going (and reaching).

Locked away in glass, Daphne feels for the first time like a visual object.

It takes a lot to make a stew

Even when it's Shag and Scooby-Doo

And you've got

Too many cooks, too many cooks

Ol' Maldor the Malevolent puts on the moves.

Doombledoor

Prisoner is subjected to waterboarding at infamous Guantanamo Bay prison, colorized and restored (2006)

Scoob as a fly is almost completely unsympathetic.

Scrappy catches the magic ladle looking at his girl from across the room.

CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS

1:23 - Evan has been informed that Tony Shalhoub's surname is not pronounced "Shal-oob" by an Arabic speaker. That said, he has also found the actor himself using the same pronunciation. This note is being made in the event of both Evan and Shalhoub himself being wrong.
58:47 - This is particularly embarrassing, especially given Evan's strong assertion to Luke that the origins of "Help me, help me!" can be traced back to his "favourite black and white cartoon" and not that one scene in The Emperor's New Groove. In actuality that famous quote is from the original 1958 version of The Fly. Oops
1:13:33 - He also incorrectly states that this is the second episode to feature one of Jason Lum's title cards, when in fact it's the first.

EPISODE 17 - "Scoobra Kadoobra"
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo
Season 1, Episode 2

8/14/2017 - It's been a long while since we last caught up with Shaggy, Scooby, and Daphne (and Scrappy and Flim-Flam), but we're finally back to cover their first attempt at busting a ghost and returning it to the chest where it belongs. That's how the ectoplasmic judicial system works; you just lock 'em up and throw away the key. It's rife with corruption, but the truth is that most people believe they work and don't think much else-

Anyway, in spite of having both a diminutive dog and human child, this episode is great! It's possibly the zaniest we've seen any Scooby-Doo cartoon get, and with so many gags per minute chances are that some have to land, and they definitely do. Maldor the Malevolent may not have a sense of humour, but he stars in an episode that's wall-to-wall jokes.

10:51 - eBaum's World is truly a hot mess right now that we can't recommend visiting, but below is one of the classic internet jump scares that discussed. Watch at your own peril.

13:06 - Dark Orko appears in the aptly titled DC Universe vs. Masters of the Universe #3. You can check out what that looks like here.
29:50 - How can you hear the words "dragon racist" and not think of one of the Flight of the Conchord's least well-known tunes? It's a good one, it's just no "Business Time", is all we're saying-

34:49 - This goes all the way back to their college days, but Luke and Evan always, always, always refer to any kind of magical control over the elements as "-bending". It's something they do, and that you should do, too.
53:54 - Merlin's foe in The Sword in the Stone is Madam Mim. Evan had been thinking "Morgan le Fay", and it's a good thing he didn't say that or else this would be over in the section on the left. Oh, and if you wanted to check out that duel here it is:

1:05:13 - Evan's right, the two evil exes that Scott must defeat pop up in Volume 5, Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe. That's definitely a series that's well-worth checking out, especially if you enjoyed Edgar Wright's film adaptation!
