laff-a-lympics deserves its own video and you know it

1.really good video,I love this. 2 one thing which you didn't mention ,that before John Constantine,Before Buffy "The Vampire Slayer"Summers, and to a small point,Kolchak:The Night Stalker. Scooby Doo (and The Scooby gang) were the First Super-Famous "Paranormal Detectives" that everyone knew. And plus the famous trope that have been Aped in multiple tv and Movies:The Chase scenes with pop music,Scooby snacks as Drug Reference,SHAGGY as a Marajuana Icon(even though he's based on Maynard G Krebs, played by Bob "Gilligan" Denver ). And the implied ,by the fans sexual tension of Fred/Daphane and Velma/Shaggy and of course "I would've gotten Away with it if it wasn't for you Meddling KIDS!!"

Laff a Lympics is great. I loved that show when I was a kid in the 80's and I still love it now. Scooby-Doo meets the Boo Brothers was a great tv film.

Given that you persuaded me to give one or two Scooby series I'd decided to pass over a second chance, I am a little sad you didn't say more on _Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!_ I was in my 20's when it aired... but since I was still a "big kid", I watched Saturday morning cartoons (usually by recording them and watching them after work). I'd skip this show because the first episode was _meh_ as were the handful of others I'd sometimes "accidentally" watch (because it was on in the background or I was too lazy to fast-forward). *Except* for the finale. I hadn't planned on watching it, but I did and it was actually decent, maybe even good. However, the local affiliate (or maybe the network itself) stopped airing it shortly after, so I never got around to seeing if I had been too hard on it or if it was truly as bad as it seemed _except_ for a handful of good jokes. I mean, from what I do remember, I think I was relating to and rooting for the series main bad guy...

What about shaggy and scooby get a clue

Me too. I've always dismissed the show and couldn't get into the first couple of episodes I tried to watch but that clip did make me chuckle and want to try again.

The show is very underrated, its one of the cartoons over the last few years that has made me laugh a lot.

Here I am trying to get an electrical engineering degree, and I didn't know that one of my biggest inspirations had this degree

Oh god, I feel complete. Another human being that actually likes Be Cool, Scooby-Doo... sure, I was sceptical, but man it's too funny.

I like Be Cool Scooby-Doo as well.

I didn't know you went to school with Plague of Gripes, mandalore.

why is it always Ghoul School

My god, Mandy WTF

You went to school with PlagueOfGripes?

@@BMask because, as the internet has been discovering more and more in the past few decades, cute monster girls have appeal

Subvert expectations. Transcend above the usual formula.

It does good job introduces genuine supernatural elements to real world setting

The montage of unmasking villains is both a homage and elevation of the story to come

Yeah it's genius. To go a bit deeper, if I may: normally in Scooby-Doo, when the mask is removed from the monster to reveal the normal person beneath, there's a sense of returning normalcy. The characters and audience are reassured that the world is normal after all, and there really wasn't anything to be afraid of. But in Zombie Island, the entire formula happens in reverse. The mask is removed from the normal humans, revealing monsters beneath. All that effort that previous Scooby-Doo properties have put into reassuring you that at the end of the day, monsters aren't real, is suddenly shattered. Everything is turned on it's head, and the situation seems hopeless. The characters don't know how to deal with the situation they now face, which reflects the audience's shock at the movie going in such a different direction. It's no surprise, then, that the only ones who can save the day are the ones who have *always* believed in the supernatural explanation until proven otherwise: Shaggy and Scooby.

@@satansgayniece6246 very good analysis, as a kid I felt what you described and I think that's why zombie island still sticks in my head. Also shaggy and Scooby were the only members to ever meet actual supernatural creatures like in 13 ghosts, ghoul school or the reluctant werewolf, if you consider that canon.

That's probably the best Scooby cross over. I love how they implemented the old animated style, my favorite episode and villan turned even more evil. The comedy was amazing too. Maybe he didn't see it

Did you know there was a scrappy no joke he actually did in modern animation

Loved what I saw, but haven't seen it in full, and didn't know how to fit it in. Would probs go back and add that and Shaggy beating up everyone in the bar.

@@BMask The one with the Shaggy bar fight that turned him into the unbeatable god of the internet is Scooby-Doo: Legend of the Phantosaur. It has one of my favourite Scooby movie intros. Check it out some time.

That's what makes the scene so chilling. If you weren't aware of that twist, you'd initially assume that it would go down the typical route.

Excuse me WHAT I have to see this old-timer

What is the name of the short.

@@davidalbertomejiacabrera7148 The scene is in one of the "Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated" episodes. This link ALLUDES to it, but I can't located the actual scene on KZfaq except as part of some compilation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKibdMVpl86qhGQ.html

I'm absolutely hooked on the plot ngl

@@Dialegomai Shag and Scoob is a webcomic starring Scooby and Shaggy. It starts off as nothing but random humor, but quickly develops a mysterious plot, then becomes an action thriller. It's actually amazing.

I was just expecting adult humor but then..... I’m not sleeping tonight

Lol been reading it for a good while and it's 🔥🔥🔥

WELCOME TO THE HANNA BARBARA ACTION MANGA.

MrZurata to be fair tails gets trolled was accidentally funny in the beginning. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the correlation tho

Didn't they already? Lmao

Cyber chase. But I would love to see them interact with Zombie apocalypse at least once.

Honestly i felt like that was the formula at its worst. I found that series kinda boring back when i saw it, because it never did anything new, the entire premise was that its the same as always but with modern technology.

What's New Scooby-Doo didn't add anything new, it wasn't worth mentioning.

@@Kikkerv11 did come right after the movies though, kept the wheel turning for the Scooby series

Sorry, I agree with the others- that show didn't add anything iconic, it was just the formula boosted to the early 00s. BUT. It gave us one of the best theme songs. Thanks Simple Plan.

@@charlesintune that right there. That theme song is gold!!

Kiss had such awesome powers in that one.

That movie was an acid trip and a half.

That audience needs to delete its browsing history before the cops show up

The SD franchise has a pretty memorable rouges gallery surprisingly. It's got a lot of dull villains, but the fact some of them we remember so vividly today honestly speaks volumes. You get shadow ghosts, to dragons, to evil toys, to gator people, to the traditional universal monsters. The variety and portrayal of the villains, even in more recent cartoons and movies, guarantee at least one will stick with you. And it's great that the og monsters are still popular today after so long.

Mark??? And no one's replied to you??? What in the--

Oh My God Nick! What Up?

Wow this has to be a good vid if nicktendo likes it😂😁

When was he... wut??!

2:44 or so.

We don't forget, there's just nothing special to say. It's new episodes of scooby doo that we got thanks to the success of Zombie Island and the movies that followed, and they're good. Cut, print, ship it, done.

I agree with B-Mask. Whats New was what the franchise needed at the time, a return to the original formula but in a modern setting. But because it doesn't have any new twist or take on things it is hard to really say much about.

@@BMask True but after watching two peoples video not even mention What's New, Scooby-Dooi i had to google Scooby-Doo to make sure that i wasn't going craze remembering What's New, Scooby-Doo.

I want a straight to video mystery inc. movie

I want my blu-Ray of every Scooby show and movie, I can’t believe how little they’ve taken advantage of Scooby nostalgia with blu-ray sets with new extras and stuff.

@@mlsdreavusjargon6910 It is possible high quality tapes of the old shows were never created, or erased.

NotOrdinaryInGames Yeah that’s possible, they didn’t always value those old cels enough back then, I hope that’s not the case though, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Still, there’s higher quality versions on stuff like HBOmax now I think, they could at least use those or something but on blu-ray. Also, still doesn’t stop them from releasing all the Scooby series made in digital on blu-ray, Be Cool only got volume DVD sets, and they couldn’t even be bothered to release season 2. I think the broadcast version on Boomerang looked better than those DVDs, it’s ridiculous that’s all these series get with blu-ray having been around this long.

@@mlsdreavusjargon6910 As long as I get my Mystery Inc BDs, I will be happy.

literally marx character

There were numerous Easter eggs, tying it to the Mel Brooks movie, Young Frankenstein. There was an inn in the village called Gasthaus Schwanstucker, which was the euphemism in the Brooks picture for the male organ, among other things that are not obvious.

And now I know what film I need to watch next! Thanks for the heads up!

@@BMask The pleasure is mine ~

@Will N Well aside from placing it into the 21st century which in itself lead to new concepts and ideas not present in previous incarnations, it also used music from contemporary genres.

@Will N Considering that what's new scooby doo had episodes when they went to places like Russia and when they did go to already visited concepts it was done differently enough to not warrant comparisons. Second, nearly most of your comment has barely any correlation to mine. I didn't say anything about the gang's traits, or "Contemporary Placement". Third, how are you gonna accuse what's new scooby doo of nearly killing the series when evidence says otherwise? It had multiple movies based on the artstyle, using voice actors after the show already ended. Shaggy and scooby doo got a large negative reception, it was not a liked show and it ended with less episodes and seasons.

@Will N The foundation of the show was taking the original format of the show and modernizing it for the 21st century, because there was no 2000s era scooby do television show. Scooby doo does get better ratings when it changes the status quo, but stuff like 13 ghosts or get a clue, or any of the scrappy shows were just adding characters to see what sticks. Not stuff like Mystery Inc which actually furthers the show; also a pup named scooby doo had 4 seasons, not 3. Mystery Inc by its structure is so drastic compared to any of the scooby doo shows, and Return to Zombie Island wasn't status quo it was nostalgia bait for the original film and the tv films have little in common with What's new when it comes to the writing structure, artstyle, and animation.

It is definitely great.

video game one is cyberchase

Probably cause it was developed by Namco. Half the songs in that game wouldn't sound out of place in Soul Calibur.

Someone mentions Assault and doesn't talk about how good the gameplay was. For shame.

@@doclouis4236 I never played it, so I can't say much on the gameplay. (And I'm not planning on buying it since, like most 1st party GameCube games, it costs a silly amount of money these days.) I don't know whether I'd enjoy it or not, since I wasn't too big on Star Fox 64.

@@FrDougal9000 I mean, buying it used or as just a disc isn't gonna be too expensive is it? It's like $20 on Ebay. It has arwing flying on rails shooting, third person shooter and tanks. If you do plan on buying it, make sure to change the controller settings to twin stick shooter to make it play better because everyone who has had first impressions about this game always complains about the default controls without changing them in settings.

@@doclouis4236 Maybe we're looking in different places on eBay, but I've just checked and most copies of Assault cost at least $20-30 but usually go well above that, and that's not even counting the shipping. Even if I were interested, I wouldn't buy it for that price. Maybe I'll get a decent computer one of these days and just emulate the thing? Still, I at least appreciate the tips regarding the controls for the shooting sections, so thank you very much for that. I'll keep it in mind if I ever pick the thing up. :)

It was weird how they just popped out of nowhere a few years back some of the art is weird but some cute then we have middle where the girls are older but still wholesome

I am in full agreement, and I want to change that eventually. More people need to know about that time he gave dating advice in the maternity ward.

I watched Ghoul School a lot as a kid so absolutely no

Thxxxxx❤

It really deserves more attention and support. It goes for a Shonnen vibe and achieves that fantastically.

They did that in comics.

its been done

What is the name of that comic?

But is there a "Into the Scooby Verse" movie??
