It takes the classic Scooby Doo formula and twists it, only slightly, never too much. This is possibly the most blatant example of the self-awareness. It’s truly absurd in the best way possible. Here’s the kicker, even THE MONSTER will dance. They stop being chased or find a spot away from the monster to dance. This is important because during chase scenes the characters all take breaks to dance. All the while she is telling the other characters to not start the music yet. She called her butler Jinkins, and had him be scared for her. So she solved this problem the only way she could. This is of course because she had just gotten her hair done and didn’t want to ruin it. Ok, so in this episode when the Zombo pops out and is about to chase the gang through the park, all the characters get scared in the classic cartoon jump and hold mid-air fashion. Let me tell you why, and stop rushing me, would you? Thank you. My favorite part of this entire series, and what really sets it apart, are the monster chase scenes. She says “Jinkies!” again shortly after, to which Shaggy says that Velma is “on a roll.” I forgot to mention that Velma is a pseudo-mute in this series. At some point Velma says “Jinkies!” which means she found a clue. I’m wasting time saying this even! Come on. Joey ends up being Zombo, I don’t have time to explain all of how we got there, just the important bits. He introduces them to his brother Joey Jipner. He tells them that the park is closed because Zombo’s Ghost has shown up to get revenge as he used to own Jipner’s Joyland. To accomplish this they eat FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY boxes of cereal, “Hi, I’m Fred,” am I right? When the gang arrives, they find that the amusement park is closed, The gang then meets Jolly Jipner, the turnip mascot for Jipner’s Joyland. Scooby and Shaggy plan on being the first to ride the new ride, Monster Mountain. The Scooby Doo Detective Agency, AKA “the gang,” go down to Coolsville’s best amusement park, Jipner’s Joyland.

Now here, my loyal and lovely readers, is where I have to put a spoiler warning. Let’s take a look at “Terror thy Name is Zombo,” the twenty-first episode of the show and see if we can find some moments of self-awareness.

Self-awareness creates a cartoon that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

#A PUP NAMED SCOOBY DOO SERIES#
The key difference between A Pup Named Scooby Doo and other incarnations of the series is self-awareness. They go around Coolsville solving mysteries as the Scooby Doo Detective Agency. “Zoinks!” The show features younger versions of the classic Scooby Doo gang. The series racked up a whole TWENTY SEVEN episodes. 17, 1991, and had FOUR seasons, COUNT ‘EM, FOUR! Now that’s a “Jinkies!” if I’ve ever heard one. “Ruh Roh,” am I right? Let’s talk about it.Ī Pup Named Scooby Doo debuted on Sept. As the other in-house funnyman of The Bad Ones, I have an opinion to present you, one that can’t be refuted. Wamser, who is the Op/Ed section editor, 2018 Allentown mayoral candidate, and in-house funnyman of The Bad Ones (Muhlenberg’s best comedy group), agrees. “I Agree.” That’s what my best friend and colleague Will Wamser said when I told him the headline of this article.
