Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! - Season 1, Episode 2: "Hassle in the Castle" - Title Animation by Unknown

When its discoverers named the Haunted Isle, they assumed no other islands were haunted.

Ghosts have notoriously poor vision in one eye.

A less respectable podcast website would probably write some hacky caption about how Shaggy was smoking marijuana in the ship's cabin, and that's why this screenshot is so foggy.

Now that I've said that I'm going tackle the next one, which I've decided will be a thinly veiled weiner joke.

The canine equivalent of a human man approaching a clawed crustacean crotch-first.

The crab could snap all it wanted - Scooby was going to read the crab's love note . . . out loud to the ENTIRE CLASS

It suddenly dawned on Scooby that he had no idea how to read.

Tired of her colleague's verbal abuse, Velma imagines something terrible befalling Daphne.

Velma discovers her latent magic powers (or excellent luck).

A brief glimpse at one of Hanna-Barbera's little known series of self massage tutorial videos.

Shinichi Nakamoto ended up scrapping the original character design for Bomberman after begrudgingly admitting it was too complex.

The key to a woman's heart is comically large.

Simple men will ask how a Great Dane could possibly lift a magic wand. It takes a discerning, ambitious mind to question that same dog's diet and workout regimen.

Scooby mimes how Luke felt after eating expired bacon this last week.

The gang had always agreed to split whatever treasure they came across, but the moment Freddie's eyes fell upon the mythic roll of Fruit-By-The-Yard, he knew he would be the only one to leave the Haunted Isle alive.

Scooby does his best impression of a public exposer.

Just as we thought! Some guy!

The villain generously demonstrates his trap. Even more generously, he declines to use the opportunity to escape.

CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS

3:45 - It turns out that Jeffrey Tambor was not actually fired from Transparent, and as of December 2017 is apparently not going to be leaving the show.
16:55 - Luke mentions that an "old-school hologram" made using lights and mirrors "did not exist and should not exist". Evan actually bit his tongue, as he knew that creating ghostly images using those components is actually entirely possible.
45:18 - The movie that Scooby and Shaggy watched in the previous episode, "What a Night for a Knight" was Star: Dog Ranger of the North Woods. You can listen to the Scooby Dudes' coverage of that episode here!

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
Season 1, Episode 2

1/7/2018 - Look, Luke and Evan will be the first to admit that this was a somewhat shaky step into what every sane man, woman, and child hopes is a better year than the last. Not all of the bits were biting, and quite a few references passed by their recipients like ships in the night. That said, they tried something new and one of them was sick, so all things considering things went pretty well!

The beauty of this website is that it's a space for additional content, but also for reflection. Since Evan is the one who puts absolutely all of this together, a good chunk of these shownotes shine a light on those missed connections, both for his benefit and for yours, dear listener.

21:09 - It's actually maddening that a Google Image Search for "Kermit the Hermit" results in book covers for a Muppet Babies book with the same title. How is that even legal, how was that ever allowed?
24:38 - Evan chose to say "Rell rhat's the way the rookie rumbles" as a direct reference to Bruce Almighty, which his co-host does not confirm.
27:05 - Swiftly after he quotes a fictional "very helpful mnemonic device", which Luke takes to be more like SOHCAHTOA or "Never Eat Shredded Wheat". Evan was actually riffing on the opening lines to a well-known poem, which goes "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue."
34:59 - All that said, it's especially comforting to know that the two will always line up when it comes to inane YouTube memes-

37:01 - If you don't believe Evan when it comes to Brian Jacques' name, this site states that their listed pronunciation "has been verified by the publisher".
52:33-52:51 - Within this 18 second time frame Evan says the word "like" a grand total of seven times.
