Ranking the Villains | The New Scooby-Doo Movies | Season 1 Part 3

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

Captain Moody's murder would've led to the darkest Scooby Doo mystery of all time at least until Hot Dog Water got gunned down by a Nazi robot.

[@JoeGoesOver]

It's both fun and disturbing to revisit these old Scooby episodes through the eyes of an adult, that's for certain! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jaybird3371]

I live for this series. No one else does such quality deep dives into Classic Scooby content. Nor does anyone do it with such a unique flair. Wish I could time travel to watch the next one.

[@JoeGoesOver]

Thank you! Just broke ground on the next script this morning. I wish I could do these faster, but offline obligations (and, admittedly, video games) take their toll on my time. Hopefully within the next two weeks!

It's funny how Don Knotts later plays a similar character in The Private Eyes (1980)

[@stillaboveground2470]

Love that movie!

[@N79621]

I hope you do the first season of Scooby and Scrappy Joe, those ones fall more in line with classic Scooby and have some enjoyable monsters/plots

[@JoeGoesOver]

Provided I don't get burned out, I will probably hit the Scrappy era eventually. I'm trying to stay in chronological order of when the series were produced, but this is problematic because of how scrambled the Scooby series were in the 1970s, with various episodes chopped up and repackaged under "new" series. I'll probably just say "the hell with it" and treat the next batch as "The Scooby-Doo Show" which apparently was the syndicated version which included various episodes from earlier formats. This means putting off dealing with He Who Must Not Be Named for some time, still. Who knows, though? I may decide to do series out of order, especially if I'm not able to secure good digital copies of episodes. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!

[@KayWhyCommando]

It's really interesting to see where Don Knotts started with Scooby-Doo. My first time seeing the two together was in the game Night of 100 Frights (the best Scooby game, I will stand by that). Always love seeing these videos! Looking forward to more!

[@JoeGoesOver]

Thank you! I'm in the middle of writing the script for the next upload. If you watch 'Mystery Incorporated', Don Knotts makes a cameo as one of the background characters in the first episode.

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@JoeGoesOver Speaking of “Mystery Incorporated”, out of all the episodes in that show, only one gave me happy thoughts: Night Fright. Why? Not only does the story feel like a classic Scooby episode of the late 60s, it was a filler episode that had none the atrocious melodramatic bullshit that the rest of the show is infamous for. I like my Scooby episodes to be fun stories with dark elements, not depressing stories with dark comedy… and if you’re gonna defend “Velma”, try not to attack people over obviously bad pandering. BTW, 4:25: Don’t you mean “Saturday Morning Cartoon Dialect”? Also, gotta love Redbeard. 17:37: I remember hearing her voice in “A Bugs Life” as the Queen Ant. 23:04: Shaggy is so self-aware, it’s hilarious.

[@Lyssamazur]

Can’t even explain how excited I get when I see a new one of these pop up on my feed! For some reason, Guess Who’s Knott Coming To Dinner was always a comfort episode of mine and still is. Keep up the great work!

[@politicalsquidgame234]

I feel like the Don Knotts episode is the episode that got me into TNSDM. It was the first episode I've enjoyed since "Ghastly Ghost Town", and the episode that followed immediately after was also a good one. Joe, if TNSDM ever had a crossover episode with the Golden Girls, what do you think could've made a good episode and monster plan? This is a random question, however I am genuinely curious as you seem to come up with the most sufficient of villainous plans.

[@MegaMagicdog]

I'd think it would revolve around getting rid of a retirement home (where Sophia has friends) in favor of trying to build a luxury condo community. Half of the SD mysteries involve some form of real estate scam, right? Or perhaps a trailer park community in which mostly elderly residents live. I live in a city in which many old trailer parks are being sold out from under the residents to be developed into more money bearing projects. These places have been in use since the 50s or 60s and rent was amazingly cheap - so it became a haven for those who didn't get much between disability and SS. I'm sure Florida has many similar communities.

[@JoeGoesOver]

I think @MegaMagicDog has a good suggestion. Real estate swindles are a popular Scooby villain scheme. If not that, I would imagine Blanche would run afoul of a villain trying to woo her to get hold of some hidden heirloom in her family. Probably something left over from the Civil War.

[@sustelsuk]

The game scooby doo night of the 100 frights both featuring don knott (in the same groundskeeper costume on this episode ) and the ghost of captain moody with the same costume apperance that don knott wore. Plus the gargoyle too

[@JoeGoesOver]

I get requests to discuss the video games and I might do that someday, but probably as a one-off where I'm celebrating a milestone, like 10,000 subscribers or a Patreon monthly goal. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@srstriker6420]

It’s an odd coincidence that both of these villains appear in the video game Scooby Doo:night of 1000 frights and that Don and Phillis both were in Robot Chicken Scooby Doo meet Jason Voorhees one, did you know that Don Knotts was in the movie It’s a mad,mad,mad world along with Jonathan Winters Now that’s a missed opportunity Scooby Doo meets Jessica Fletcher or Angela Lansbury which I put that on the list

[@JoeGoesOver]

While working on this video, I ran across some footage of Phyllis Diller working alongside Jonathan Winters. I wish I'd have found it earlier, but that's how the Scooby Snack crumbles. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@srstriker6420]

@@JoeGoesOver well I hope you get that in the next video when they meet Don Knotts again and I think he was also in the video game as the spooky Groundskeeper as well as What’s new Scooby Doo and Mystery Incorporated as a cameo.

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@JoeGoesOver I mentioned in the previous video about what movies Jonathan Winters appeared in, one of them being “Alakazam the Great”, an Americanized dub of a Osamu Tezuka’s loose adaptation of Journey to the West; Jonathan Winters’ role in the film was Zhu Bajie (or Sir Quigley Broken Bottom in the dub), an enemy turned ally that helps Sun Wukong (or Alakazam in the dub) taking Tang Sunzung (or Prince Amat in the dub) on a trip to India to get the Buddhist scrolls (the scrolls are not part of the adaptation in general).

[@MegaMagicdog]

As a fellow Gen X-er, I have to say I was pretty familiar with almost all of the guest stars on TNSDM - in part because I watched a lot of TV and many of those guest stars were on other shows. Most were still working and making appearances on talk shows so they weren't too far from the public eye. It's important to note that the guest stars on this incarnation were also involved with projects with the CBS network, as the cartoon was airing on CBS, before SD moved to ABC in the mid 70s. Looking back - it's amazing the amount of talent they recruited for this show! The only person I wasn't familiar with at the time was Cass Elliott - but I'm sure you'll be covering her episode soon enough. I think it was a safe bet everyone knew who Don Knotts was. TAGS had been in syndication for some time and he was, as you stated, he'd been performing in big screen films for years afterwards. You may know he was also on Matlock for a while playing Ben's neighbor. It was the first time the actors reunited on a TV show since Knotts left TAGS in '65. I definitely appreciated that the Captain was in physical danger. I knew they couldn't use words like "murder" in a show aimed at kids, but it wasn't hard to figure out what the nephews had on their minds. The Phyllis Diller episode was OK, as usual, the appearance of the comedienne was the highlight. In reality, there IS a Magic Mansion - it's in Los Angeles and it's membership is filled with the cream of the magical tricks crop. They perform all sorts of acts in various rooms of the building.

[@JoeGoesOver]

The odd thing about pop culture is how just a few years can be enough to separate members of the same generation from recognizing references. My wife and most of my friends are just four years younger than me but they're often clueless whenever I bring up something from my childhood. Talking to my sister who was born in the mid-1980s really drove home how few of the celebrities featured in 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies' were going to be known by younger viewers. Even if those younger viewers are old enough to have children of their own. For the record, she did not know who Don Knotts was and when I started rattling off the various upcoming guest stars, she only knew Cher. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!

8:09 That thing right there. Most people were afraid of the Space Kook (understandably so) but Homer Pipsqeak's Captain Moody costume was without a doubt the scariest scooby doo monster to me as a child. His introduction of his voice as the candle blew out and his initial reveal on the staircase was brief but it was just enough to create suspense for his next appearance in the kitchen which builds up to him again with his ghost moan noise as scooby and shaggy make sandwiches. It also something to do with how he seems inescapable. He appears in the kitchen, Fred's room, The closet, and finally in the Library after a chase sequence. His ability to navigate the house in quick succession should be noted. Another thing that scared me as a kid is how shaggy referred to it as "nobody" when fred asked who's ghost it was. The thought of a ghost haunting/Chasing you with no discernable identity or motive is nothing short of terrifying. Velma refers to him as "the man in the painting downstairs" to which someone replies with "Captain Moody", which added some clarity but not enough. His voice also did a pretty good job at scaring 6 y/o me as 80% of the time he's moaning while him actually speaking happening in his last two appearances. He speaks articulate yet he decides to not speak in his first 3 appearances. His appearance in the episode may be brief but it was very memorable for me as a kid. It's a shame that character wasn't the actual antagonist. Edit: My mistake the candle never blew out. Personal Mandela effect confirmed.

[@JoeGoesOver]

Space Kook filled me with direct, tangible horror as a child because of his glowing skull and banshee wail. Your apprehension over the Ghost of Moody seems to be a lot more existential dread than what most kids of that age would feel.

[@tfordham13]

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but there is one moment in 'Foul Play at Funland' where Charlie the Robot is seen running between two rows of concession stands (around four minutes into the episode). While he does go from one row to the other, I can't see how this would count as the hallway gag as he's not in a hallway, nor is the Gang being chased by him. He also doesn't magically warp from side to side. Every exit is logical based on where he entered.
