Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! - Season 1, Episode 15: “Spooky Space Kook” - Title Animation by Unknown

Galactus plays badminton.

Fred: “That’s the guy who broke my arm so it points weird!”

🎶 Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a spooky kook, no time to talk 🎵

To take this picture at face value it’s like Scooby is the one who knows what a gun is.

🎶 . . . ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive 🎵

Everyone else was scared, but Velma? She thought they were just the cutest, most adorable glowing footprints she’d ever seen.

. . .

. . . no comment.

Fred looks like he’s thinking that he’s too young to be getting too old for this shiz.

PAY UP, MIYAZAKI.

“Oh, the pioneers used to ride these babies for miles . . .”

While the PSA ultimately led to a decrease in peanut-allergy-related deaths, it also caused a distinct spike in vivid night terrors.

“Luke sure is good at, like, captions.”

“Bork bork bork.”

“Zoinkies!”

After years of high school flagpole pranks, Fred finally gets what was coming to him.

Hopefully, all of those flags can now feel peace.

“How can we really communicate that Fred is talking down to Daphne and Velma in this scene?”

Does that . . . Does that chicken skeleton have a tail?

Scooby! Spit that out! Spit that out right now! Don’t you swallow it. No! No spit it out! Frick, where’s the hydrogen peroxide?

Little-known fact: Scooby is only half-canine; the rest is whale and camel.

That’s why he’s always smoking menthols through his blowhole.

“Extra! Extra! Read all about it! MRCIIGTIIIII MWaIIIIII5!”

“That newsie wasn’t kidding.”

Scooby delivers an oddly aggressive performance of “Somewhere Out There”

It’s as if Fred and Shaggy know that this part of the episode makes less than no sense.

Oh hi nightmares, I wasn’t expecting to see you here.

As part of a meta joke on Casey Kasem, Shaggy’s characters was written to be a lousy radio jockey.

Luke was about to make a joke about how dark the farmer’s skin is in this shot, but then he realized that is just straight-up racism. Good catch, L!

“Alright, we get it, you can go vertical on a flagpole. We’re all so impressed by your core strength.”

What if Scooby just took a bite out of Shaggy’s head as if it were an apple? And then we saw that Shaggy’s head has, like, an apple core for a brain?

That would probably be weird.

I guess I’m glad that didn’t happen in this episode.

CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS

42:22-36 - Evan had two very obvious opportunities to make a “too many kooks” joke and neglected to do so.
44:46 - The actor playing Greg in the upcoming season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is Skylar Astin, who you may remember as being the guy you didn’t want to end up with Anna Kendrick in the Pitch Perfect movies.
54:14 - It was “boxes full of Pepe”, as seen below:

9/24/2018 - More like ground control to Major Bomb, because honestly, this episode did not reach nearly the heights it could have. On the bright side, it did allow for that sick Bowie reference, so maybe this spacecraft does have a silver lining.

It’s a new(-ish) era of Scooby Dudes, with each week providing its own (superior?) mystery of just what exactly Editing Room Luke is going to do or, just as importantly, not do. He holds all of the power, folks, and don’t you ever forget it. Evan certainly doesn’t.

00:29-00:44 - The Corrections/Clarifications section is already pretty full, so even though it’s not a myth that when War of the Worlds caused mass hysteria in the US when it originally aired on the radio, this shownote focuses on an article that covers when the same happened 11 years later in Ecuador (not Mexico).
3:01 - CollegeHumor did have a few sketches, and this is one of them:

43:37 - God bless whoever runs The Office YouTube channel, because they really do have any compilation you could ever need:

45:14 - This is the least spoilery of Greg’s (Santino Fontana) songs. Seriously, though, do yourself a huge favour and watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

49:06-41 - The episode of Captain Planet and the Planeteers that Luke is referring to is “Teers in the 'Hood”, which was the 22nd episode of the show’s 4th season. The title is presumably short for “Planeteers in the Neighbourhood”.
1:02:16 - Long before Evan ever came up with the comparison, there was this guy on Twitter:
