There's actually 2 stories where it gets kinda similar. And actually the ghost of Vasquez, the one used for this very animation, is one of them. He's literally just some illusionist they never met before catching him. And sure he does say he started doing it to scare people away because he wanted the treasure that was said to be on the castle, but he clearly kept doing it more for the love of being a ghost than anything, he even happily shows off how he did the illusions to the gang he clearly lives for his job its kind of endearing. The other is the centaur from whats new scooby doo. I don't recall why he did it, but he's literally just some guy. When they reveal him Velma gets mad and declares "THIS ONE DOESN'T COUNT!" because he basicaly had no real motive and he hadn't been on screen or even mentioned before that point either, he was literally just some rando dressed as a centaur.
There was one of those in "What's New, Scooby Doo?" I forget which episode but Velma announced who she thought it was as she unmasked the villain, then proceeded to say, "Wait, who is this? We've never even met her." She was peeved about it too and claimed this mystery "didn't count."
I know I saw an episode like that once. In the opening an Archaeologist and his assistant are attacked by a monster. The assistant disappears and the monster continues to attack you archaeologist. Later mystery gang get involved and when they unmask the monster at the end it’s the assistant that was only in the opening. All the while there was a character that was always missing whenever the monster was around so Velma was making jokes the entire episode about how obviously it was the other character. She’s very annoyed at the end with the unmask her the character and she has no clue who it is.
"It's all Greek to Scooby". It's been a long time since seeing that one. That episode literally has what Scarlett jester asked for, much more so than my original pick. I thank this thread for reminding.
@@ToweringToska As the other guy said think it was spiderman and spiderman was like you have this awesome genetic engineering technology that you could use to cure cancer and all diseases and the guy was like no I just want to turn people into dinosaurs.
fred dismantling shaggy was the funniest thing "you ate a big sandwich big boy?" Im honestly surprised that he didn't go ultra instinct on fred after that
The ghost of Vasquez castle was a magician (Bluestone the Great) and was super proud of his craft. Showed off how he did it to the gang too after he got caught. He also had nothing to do really with the castle history - just a treasure seeker who wanted to keep people away. So JJ really did his research for this episode - chose the perfect villain to turn into “Paul”
@@aformofmatter8913 Yep. Last night I was out and about in the middle of the ghetto past midnight, riding a black bicycle, dressed in all black clothes, while wearing a black face mask, blue latex gloves, and black beanie, and with a large black duffel bag on my back. I passed 3 cop cars, one of which was 10 feet away from me and not a single one bothered me. I love being White.
Because in the US they have free speech under the constitution. You can literally tell a cop to eff off and give him the finger and as long as it isn't threatening it's legal.
I love how Fred was completely ready to dissolve Mystery Inc after getting ONE perpetrator wrong! Like, it’s a either a flawless track record or nothing 🤣
Truly a masterpiece in the same vein as No Country for Old Men. Fred, like the sheriff, simply cannot cope with the random nature of evil and people in the world, and so retires. Bravo, sir!
Velma's dialogue at 0:48 and the sheer exasperation bordering on full mental breakdown you can hear in her voice is freaking killing me! Oh how I love some good old comedic schadenfreude.. you picked the right voice actress for her for sure!
@@catbatrat1760 No kidding! I started laughing hysterically when I heard the voice actress in this video. She somehow simultaneously has the perfect Velma voice and the perfect parody Velma voice!
This Paul character seems like a pretty chill guy. Dude just loved scaring people in a Ghost costume, and he wasn't even mad or upset that the Mystery Gang caught him. Just a normal guy who likes to dress up as a Ghost, and scare the crap out of people.
I like how Fred was completely willing to just disband the gang after years of working together because one random culprit just wasn't their suspect lol
This reminds me of an episode from what's new scooby doo. They were dealing sith a centaur, the entire time they suspected it was one guy who was never around until immediately after the centaur disappeared. When they finally caught it, it was the guy's assistant who they had never even met the entire episode, dude was completely innocent. Ironically, Velma was the only one bothered by the bait and switch
I remember something similar also happening when they did that week special where they let the viewers try to guess by cutting off the episode right before the unmasking and revealing the end the next day.

It's not normal laughter either, it's the "fuck my life" kind of laughter, and it takes a special kind of cleverness to protray the correct ratio of mixed emotions-
You'd be surprised how relatable Velma can be, there's at least 3 canon occurrences of her losing her shit over guessing the wrong person, my girl is making crime solving very personal to the point of defensively complaining about how a certain time she guessed it wrong "doesn't count" and it's so funny to me, she's so smart yet her pride gets hurt easily
@@vinyldimer so... what I'm learning is Fred collects souls? who's souls? the rest of the gang? random people he encounters? the people he unmasks only, because they deserve it? wtf man....
It's possible he gain sentience in the supernatural episode. Where all along they were a joke for kids to make fun of and ship. Realizing he's stuck in a cartoon forever. He threw away his tie and has since spited his creators. Donning a clown get up and a firery head. He has taken a liking to sweets and roadkill. Plus a fetish for collecting teeth. He lives in tune with the road. Waiting patiently for one of you to free him.
Ah yes, the classic scooby-do team dynamic Fred - reveals the villain Scooby and shaggy - the funny costumes and antics Velma - the smart one Daphne - is there
The funny thing about Velma’s reaction is that there is an episode of What’s New Scooby Doo where this sort of situation happens (the villain is unmasked and they’ve never met/heard of them) and she has a reaction pretty similar to this, saying something like “Foul! This one does not count!”
Paul single-handedly caused the dissolution of the Mystery Gang and defeated Fred in the Senate election, he is truly the most powerful Scooby-Doo villain.
The funny thing is that there's an episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo? where the person disguised as the monster actually DOES turn out to be some random person...to Mystery Inc., anyway. The audience actually sees them in a cold open before they arrive, & they do have a connection to one of the episode's characters. Still, a member of the gang does get outraged over it...except it's Velma, who says that this one shouldn't count. =P Anyhow, terrific video as usual! Glad to see Paul went on to make something with his life!
and in that same show Daphne has more uses than just being the damsel in distress, like martial arts that occasionally come into play and crafting utilities out of random crap she has in her purse. Like, she made a makeshift car battery out of a water and a clipper. A CLIPPER! WHAT?!
I think there was another one too where the culprit literally turns out to be a military officer the crew doesn't even meet in their investigation. Season 2 Episode 13. "New Mexico, Old Monster"
@@hansolo235 Is it strange for me to say I was actually searching for someone to reference that episode? That episode immediately came to my mind while watching this XD
Fred freaking out and having a breakdown is the funniest shit I’ve seen this week. I love that The Officer and Paul are the only sane and logical ones there
@@Inglonias I mean, yeah, she gets to fondle tits on a regular basis. That's more than senator Fred gets to do, that's more than "96 whippits and a 20g rock of crack" Daphne gets to do, it's probably not more than shaggy gets to do, but he's converted his parents estate into a pot farm so he doesn't count.
This is basically "How the 'Scooby Doo, Where Are You?' show ends in a nutshell." Even there's no laughing track after all of Fred's dilemma. The audience is silent afterward in disbelief seeing Fred disbanding the gang.
Velma is factually accurate in every way If you only mentioned that in some moment during the episode she lost her glasses it would sum up the whole character like you did with the others Awesome work
2:37 Fun fact: In at least one continuity Scooby-Doo is a descendant of aliens that landed in ancient Egypt that inspired Egyptian gods. Which isn’t probably that far fetched since aliens exist canonically. Another fun fact: The closest thing to an episode not revealing who the culprit, was when a person in a cactus costume followed Daphne and Fred through a desert and kept erasing their footprints. The costume deflated and we don’t see anything get out of it before they ever managed to catch the culprit.
Funnily enough this was basically the plot of one of the What’s New Scooby Doo episodes! It was the one titled It’s All Greek To Scooby if I remember correctly, and the culprit was literally someone they never met! 😂
Love how fred points out that daphne's (by the way great solution to avoid having two voice actresses in one video, i know your contract would forbid that) role is just being the damsel in distress. This reminds me of the episode with the ghost clown who was the hypnotist who left the circus a few weeks prior and never appears undisguised throughout the episode, making it impossible to guess right
The crazy part is that Fred does not have a catch phrase except for his command, as leader, "OK gang let's split up gang and search for clues!" So, for that ending shock was well played
1:45 Oh I know what he was doing Fred, he was having as much fun as he could before inevitably being thrown as bait like you always do without any second thought
After Fred lost the campaign for Senate to Paul. Fred would go on to work for Uber, Lyft and DoorDash using his van skills to deliver groceries restaurant food, and people to their destinations !
Fred's pseudo-mental breakdown here reminded me a lot of how the Scooby gang reacted to the supernatural (hehe) being real in the "Scoobynatural" crossover episode. The breakdowns are for different reasons of course, but it's cool to see the parallels between that and this skit. Overall this was really fun as per usual, and I like how you portrayed Velma and Fred's sheer disbelief in all the hard work they put into solving the mystery having no satisfying payoff. Keep up the good work, jj.

00:49 Velma losing her shit after discovering all that hard work was all for nothing is incredibly relatable.
You'd be surprised how relatable Velma can be, there's at least 3 canon occurrences of her losing her shit over guessing the wrong person, my girl is making crime solving very personal to the point of defensively complaining about how a certain time she guessed it wrong "doesn't count" and it's so funny to me, she's so smart yet her pride gets hurt easily
Freddy:Zoinks
Velma:Jinkies
Daphne:Jeepers
Scooby:Ruh Roh
My headphones :"Power off"
Its funny what timing that was.
You can literally hear the sound of Fred's souls slowly dying over the course of this. Very nice.
Souls plural?
@@heyoyo10gaming4 does it look like I edited a typo?
@@vinyldimer so... what I'm learning is Fred collects souls? who's souls? the rest of the gang? random people he encounters? the people he unmasks only, because they deserve it? wtf man....
@@Booty_In_Space well clearly daphne is soulless so theres that
It's possible he gain sentience in the supernatural episode. Where all along they were a joke for kids to make fun of and ship. Realizing he's stuck in a cartoon forever. He threw away his tie and has since spited his creators. Donning a clown get up and a firery head. He has taken a liking to sweets and roadkill.
Plus a fetish for collecting teeth.
He lives in tune with the road. Waiting patiently for one of you to free him.
Ah yes, the classic scooby-do team dynamic
Fred - reveals the villain
Scooby and shaggy - the funny costumes and antics
Velma - the smart one
Daphne - is there
Dephie is so much enigma
Everywhere gang go dephne
Just THERE
don't forget that shaggy and scoob are usually the bait for the traps as well. they are important members of the team
1:31 I like being a ghost might as well be the best joke you ever done 🤣
The Fred voice is hysterically.
Pretty sure it’s Swagger Souls. Either that or we’d doing a Swagger Souls voice 🤷♂️
yeah I agree, the Fred voice is hysterically
@@sedacious6061 thank you good sir
I think you accidentally the last word.
Hysterically what?
I can’t think of any other way how the line “I’m Scooby Dooby Done” could be perfectly read and executed like it was in this video.
Siri as Daphne was the best cameo to date.
Fred being in politics just like his dad seems right on par
The funny thing about Velma’s reaction is that there is an episode of What’s New Scooby Doo where this sort of situation happens (the villain is unmasked and they’ve never met/heard of them) and she has a reaction pretty similar to this, saying something like “Foul! This one does not count!”
what episode is it?
@@noahmpinto14 I can’t remember, I think it was the one where they were in roam or something.
@@enclavehere.7995 they were in greece, centaur monster thing.
@@dorkfish1275 yeah, that's the one!
@@enclavehere.7995 I watch it a lot, its one of my favorite eps from the show because velma.
I like how Fred keeps STFU the only person around who can actually conduct police investigations in an official capacity.
I like being a ghoul
Fred: And I took that personally
Fred sounds like Swaggersouls and the fact he dressed up as Daphne for Halloween makes this even funnier to me.
"No more scooby dooby doo, i'm scooby dooby done" radiates mad swaggersouls energy
Man I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought that was Swaggersouls.
There's no light behind her eyes is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time
0:33 shaggy's goatee is his skinnnn
Ew
I can't help but respect the guy. He's just living his best life.
Ghoul on my dude 💪
He’s like the rhino, he does it for fun.
The guy did end up in the Senate's office
Paul single-handedly caused the dissolution of the Mystery Gang and defeated Fred in the Senate election, he is truly the most powerful Scooby-Doo villain.
2:28 THAT CAUGHT COMPLETELY OFF GUARD
The funny thing is that there's an episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo? where the person disguised as the monster actually DOES turn out to be some random person...to Mystery Inc., anyway. The audience actually sees them in a cold open before they arrive, & they do have a connection to one of the episode's characters. Still, a member of the gang does get outraged over it...except it's Velma, who says that this one shouldn't count. =P Anyhow, terrific video as usual! Glad to see Paul went on to make something with his life!
The Greek Centaur.
and in that same show Daphne has more uses than just being the damsel in distress, like martial arts that occasionally come into play and crafting utilities out of random crap she has in her purse. Like, she made a makeshift car battery out of a water and a clipper. A CLIPPER! WHAT?!
I think there was another one too where the culprit literally turns out to be a military officer the crew doesn't even meet in their investigation. Season 2 Episode 13. "New Mexico, Old Monster"
@@hansolo235 Is it strange for me to say I was actually searching for someone to reference that episode?
That episode immediately came to my mind while watching this XD
The Giant Worm.
Fred freaking out and having a breakdown is the funniest shit I’ve seen this week.
I love that The Officer and Paul are the only sane and logical ones there
Well, the gang is in high school during this series. Can confirm, puberty tends to throw sanity and logic out the window.
you can add Shaggy there too
1:33 I dunno why but I just find "Im gonna hurt you, physically" one of the funniest lines ever just because of the way it's said 🤣
"I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU, OFFICER!" Great line, great delivery. This has clearly been building inside Fred for a while...
Daphne saying nothing the entire time only to say "Jeepers!" in a Bonzi Buddy voice is perfect.
Paul not only causes the dissolution of the Mystery Shack, but also causes the downfall of Spiderman's mental state. Truly an evil bastard
Props to whoever voiced Fred and the officer.
Must’ve been really hard to find people to voice them.
The owner of the channel voiced all character except velma
Wooooosh
@@SatoKure hahaha
@@ziadmurad4074
He didn't voicing Dapne too ...
Actually it was Super Easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Absolutely amazing voice acting. I'm so glad you got to have Stephen Hawking voice Daphne before his passing
CLASSIC
💀
@@pianoman5259 Like Stephen
@@klas-6 LMAO
_"Good gol- I got nothing."_ Some fun Scooby Doo trivia: This is actually Fred's TV catchphrase as opposed to the censored catchphrase "Fuck"
This really feels like something that would be on Adult Swim late at night
A lot of these videos feel like they would make quality skits on Robot Chicken.
Adult Swim never had the creativity for this
All their best stuff was something they contracted that had already been made
2:26
Unfortunately Shaggy's going to be taking Fred to court for taking the Van, since it's actually his.
2:28 had me laughing for a solid minute straight
J E E P E R S

Daphne with the text to speech
🤣
"Velma's gay"
What a post-gang career, truly one of the greats.
Everyone knows being gay is a great career path. Good benefits.
@@Inglonias I mean, yeah, she gets to fondle tits on a regular basis. That's more than senator Fred gets to do, that's more than "96 whippits and a 20g rock of crack" Daphne gets to do, it's probably not more than shaggy gets to do, but he's converted his parents estate into a pot farm so he doesn't count.
@@Inglonias pays good, get weekends off, hours are a pain in the ass, but it's overall a good job
@@DToTheB pain in the ass, hehe
Indeed. So stunning and brave, the character of all time.
Switching to Daphne and Fred just mentioning her soulless stare made me choke and spit up my food. Great video JJ.
Paul's got big "I don't want to cure cancer I want to turn people into dinosaurs" energy
This is basically "How the 'Scooby Doo, Where Are You?' show ends in a nutshell."
Even there's no laughing track after all of Fred's dilemma. The audience is silent afterward in disbelief seeing Fred disbanding the gang.
I like how Fred went from a proud detective to SwaggerSouls within moments
Velma is factually accurate in every way
If you only mentioned that in some moment during the episode she lost her glasses it would sum up the whole character like you did with the others
Awesome work
Velma's also gay very important
@@disappointingperson9162 Gay is the only character depth you need, ask Netflix.
Daphne would have started an OnlyFans page.
There would have been a lot of guys in masks.
I thought velma was black
@@IndigoIndustrial Oh god.... Oh dear lord's no....
2:37 Fun fact: In at least one continuity Scooby-Doo is a descendant of aliens that landed in ancient Egypt that inspired Egyptian gods. Which isn’t probably that far fetched since aliens exist canonically.
Another fun fact: The closest thing to an episode not revealing who the culprit, was when a person in a cactus costume followed Daphne and Fred through a desert and kept erasing their footprints. The costume deflated and we don’t see anything get out of it before they ever managed to catch the culprit.
Ok matpat
I don’t know why, but I remembered and episode where they tried to unmask a villain, but turned out to be a demon or something
@@True_Angelo I think you might be thinking about a movie or a special
@@ThefifthBishopofGord I don’t think it was a movie, because it as animated. But not animated like it used to be, more like 2010’s animation
Everyone who destroys people is always named Paul
2:21 you know what no more scooby dooby Doo,I'm Scooby Dooby Done!
"You had a sandwich? You had a sandwich, big boy?"🥪
Damn, Fred...
Here lies: Me
Reason for death: This line.
Funnily enough this was basically the plot of one of the What’s New Scooby Doo episodes! It was the one titled It’s All Greek To Scooby if I remember correctly, and the culprit was literally someone they never met! 😂
Love how fred points out that daphne's (by the way great solution to avoid having two voice actresses in one video, i know your contract would forbid that) role is just being the damsel in distress. This reminds me of the episode with the ghost clown who was the hypnotist who left the circus a few weeks prior and never appears undisguised throughout the episode, making it impossible to guess right
@Vincent Mac a higher being that grants him the power to make such good videos ?
This is an excellent SolidJJ video, the ending montage had me in tears
thank you jehtt, this is an excellent comment
Daph overdosing to Whippits in 07’ is quite possibly the greatest Scooby Doo Lore I’ve heard yet.
Swaggersouls really put his heart and soul into his performance as Fred, got to love the dedication
I thought it sounded like swagger, is it actually him?
I also must know, is Swaggersouls actually doing it, or does the VA just sound a lot like him?
I knew it sounded familiar
Trying to remember who he is now
Is he part of General Sam or mayb a Rust youtuber??
@@RudyTheNinja that wasn’t him
I LMAO'D at 2:22 "I'm Scooby Dooby Done" 🤣
‘You had a big sandwich big boy’
Bro unlocked his inner dad there. No wonder he’s leaving the group it’s only natural.
I am reminded he ate food that would be months old.
The crazy part is that Fred does not have a catch phrase except for his command, as leader, "OK gang let's split up gang and search for clues!" So, for that ending shock was well played
And "Well gang, looks like we have another mystery on our hands!"
He does though. Everyone knows that Fred says fuck.
2:41 this aged well
I was about to say that!!!
Velma is definitely a little gay but we ain't gonna thank the shitshow for that
It was true way before this video came out or that Velma show.
We don't talk about that bullshit show
Her and Daphne shared a bed on more than one occasion since the start of the series.
"I am going to hurt you physically." is my favorite Fred line.
This isn't too far off from how Fred felt when he realized they could've been hunting real monsters instead of fakes this whole time.
Paul, the random guy we never knew, with the biggest commitment anyone ever had.
1:45
Oh I know what he was doing Fred, he was having as much fun as he could before inevitably being thrown as bait like you always do without any second thought
You really can't beat the artistic purity of a dedicated amateur who just loves what they do.
After Fred lost the campaign for Senate to Paul. Fred would go on to work for Uber, Lyft and DoorDash using his van skills to deliver groceries restaurant food, and people to their destinations !
Fred's pseudo-mental breakdown here reminded me a lot of how the Scooby gang reacted to the supernatural (hehe) being real in the "Scoobynatural" crossover episode. The breakdowns are for different reasons of course, but it's cool to see the parallels between that and this skit.
Overall this was really fun as per usual, and I like how you portrayed Velma and Fred's sheer disbelief in all the hard work they put into solving the mystery having no satisfying payoff. Keep up the good work, jj.
