I was going to say “leave room for Jesus” but as it happens that is a A0-size page from the Bible.

Fred observes a bird whilst Daphne experiences emotional detachment.

Classic meet-cute

NOT!

Classic sneeze-cute.

If this isn’t based on a Renaissance Period painting it should be.

You can hardly tell that Scooby is anamatronic.

Captain Scavenger wants YOU (to get off this ship so he can continue his counterfeiting operation)!

“Oh, what an ugly, unnattractive left cheek I have! If only some kind gentleman would verbally boost my confidence . . .”

Captain Cannaby could tell she was fishing for compliments, but he was neither a fish not a compliment, and so he remained silent.

Did you know that cats don’t have fingers that they can point with? Neither did the animators.

[insert hacky marijuana joke here]

Of silver and gold, Velma had none, but such as she had she gave to Shaggy.

“In the name of Velma Dinkley of Coolsville, get it together, guys.”

Everybody knows how it goes at a high school dance. All of the kids stand by the wall, too nervous to ask Captain Cannaby to dance, and he, too nervous to ask them.

Alexandra could not believe how much fun Josie and Alan were having whitewashing the Dixie Queen.

Never before has a character in Scooby-Doo so closely resembled a cat pushing a glass of water off of a table.

Pictured: FOX News commentators, upon seeing an objective fact enter the studio.

All joking aside, this scene may contain the best-animated moments in all of Scooby-Doo up to this point.

With the fan of his robotic rhino on the fritz, Alexander desperately tries to force his way out through the only available opening.

Josie notices a hardworking girl just trying to put herself through college.

“Like, c’mon you guys, just rub the lotion on the skin-”

I ain’t saying Velma’s a gold-digger . . .

But she ain’t messing with no broke ghost

(now you know which version of the song Luke listens to)

“Yo wassup guys it’s me, ya boi, hanging with my Native American bros, feel me?”

“I don’t know you.”

“Ha ha classic Joe right? Like and subscribe.”

Fred and Alexander didn’t understand. How were Rack, Shack, and Benny withstanding the heat?

Today was turning out to be quite the extraordinary day at the Nezzar Chocolate Factory.

CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS

6:27 - It was actually #JosieQuest, and you can see for yourselves what impact it had on the internet here!
13:49 - The frontwoman of the band was played by Rachael Leigh Cook.
33:04-12 - At the rear of the Dixie Queen there actually is a paddle wheel, it's just not easily visible on the side of the ship. Either way, Evan should have caught that.
42:46 - It's actually Lance Goodwin, not Captain Scavenger. The latter is taking the majority of teens to the caves alongside the Ghost of Injun Joe.

8/27/2018 - Why did neither Luke nor Evan talk about how the titular vessel was named the Dixie Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen? Because they're slacking, that's why. Because they're not putting their hearts and souls into this project.

Give that (at the time of this writing) last week's episode had no corrections whatsoever, their latest installment is rife with mistakes. But hey, it's not like Evan is packing up all of his earthly possessions to move to another place at the end of the month, or that Luke has his own stuff going on. It's inexcusable, honestly.

9:20 - Fascinatingly, the phrase "it's all Greek to me" can actually be traced back to the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare.
19:42 - Evan and Luke are of course referring to Mark Twain, a name derived from a Mississippi River term, "the second mark on the line that measured depth signified two fathoms, or twelve feet—safe depth for the steamboat".
21:49-22:53 - The weirdest piece of trivia about the 1985 stop motion claymation film The Adventures of Mark Twain is that it was released in the UK as Comet Quest. Please be warned that the following is straight-up nightmare fuel:

30:06 - The term Evan uses is the third definition on Urban Dictionary, which upsettingly follows two definitions which are the standard dictionary definition.
57:04 - Evan obviously knew what Prezi is, but for listeners who don't, it's a presentation software which features a "zooming user interface".
59:33 - That "number one billboard hit" was of course "Sugar, Sugar", which topped the Billboard hot 100 for four consecutive weeks.
