Scooby Dudes - Episode 56: "Grand Scam" - Title Card by Ashley Constant

Let’s say that the Gypsy Moth merchandisers often forgot about the potential impact of free swag on race relations.

The ghost of Chip Braverton caught the pitcher by the wrist and said . . .

“Let he whose Earned Run Average is under 1.82 throw the first pitch.”

Fred: “Just look at that episode title! This is gonna be a good one.”

Daphne: “Fred sees episode titles everywhere. He thinks he’s voiced by Frank Welker. Let’s preserve the fantasy.”

Kate Micucci: “OK.”

The gang comes across a man who has lost all of his money gambling on baseball.

(He bet that baseball isn’t as boring as heck)

Shaggy: “I know this stadium like the back of my hand, since the latter is, like, roughly the same size.”

The gang makes the mental connection between hand-size and other-appendage-size.

“Whatcha thinkin’ bout, Velma?”

Velma: “I dunno, American pastimes which have long outlived their entertainment value but remain prominent due to a shared national nostalgia for a time when there was only so much paint to watch dry, I guess.”

It took immense effort for Jim to keep the secret of his past on the Rockettes’ kick line.

Fred would have recognized that sound anywhere: the safety clicking off of an invisible moth-chine gun.

Dustin never did learn why his British friends called it a “Knob-ble Head”.

This looks like a scene from a show with a lot more time to spend on Georgia the organ player.

Good on you, Shaggy. A plain hotdog is worse than no hotdog at all.

Unless you’re, like, hungry or something.

Shaggy would have recognized that taste anywhere- that of an invisible moth-chine gun.

“MOTHS DON’T HAVE LEGS!”

This might look rather boring to you or me, but to a baseball fan this is even more exciting and overwhelming than a jangling ring of keys.

What baseball cards would look like if they were worth collecting.

Daphne looks like she’s gearing up to deal out a serious (m)ass(cot)-kicking!

Also, how did this episode not have a mascot/ascot joke for Fred?

Was it because it’s very hard to think of a mascot/ascot joke?

That’s fair.

The ghost of Chip Braverton rightly chastises the gang for stealing a golf cart, i.e. doing what every last one of us wants to do anytime we see a golf cart.

Glee would still be on the air if they had been able to stage a scene like THIS.

And, for the first and last time anyone ever saw, just for the briefest of moments, that invisible moth-chine gun became visible.

“Please! Let me keep the outfit! I look so jacked!”

I hope I die at a moment just like this one.

Either that, or not at all.
