Seriously though, this happens all the time. I’ll be collecting some goofy detail, space out, and say “…wait, that’s, like, some gorgeous environmental design.”
We rejoin our intrepid adventurers doing what they do best…
…whimpering, panicking, and… callingthemselves for help?
The 3 of you that are old Homestarrunner fans will see the Best Caper Ever similarities. The rest of you will, rightly, just think us weird.
With the introduction of a plane crash, we get somewhere in the vicinity of a real plot…
…which may have been caused by a… pizza factory.
Pizzeria,pizza factory, taqueria,taco depot. Same thing.
And speaking of food, a new character is introduced, bringing a small sandwich. Shaggy responds…
…by screaming, and then immediately chilling out.
I especially like how it’s “this time.” The implication that this is a repeat situation, and Mr. Moss primarily just brings them sandwiches.
Butoh no!
…like,really oh no. They all agree.
…though I gotta say, Fred has a very optimistic perspective on the future of sea beasts.
Sea Beasts of Tomorrow: the ‘50s educational short we desperately need.
Next, everybody, um… they sorta… well, they…
…
…well,they get really into sea cows.
Imagine it as a real episode. The plot just comes screechin’ to a halt, and everyone gets obsessed about an extinct sea-bound mammal for a bit.
Which is shortly followed by a scene that can only be described as a carbon monoxide leak…
…or an excerpt from a lost Samuel Beckett play.
“…what shall I say of today? That with Shaggy my friend, at this place, until the fall of night, I waited for Fred-ot? That Scrappy passed with his carrier, and he spoke to us? But in that, what truth will there be?”
But then, out of nowhere… Tonyshows up.
And with him ushers in the… Blue Shaggysubplot?
Oh, that’s just classicTony.
I’m trying to follow, here. So they met some alternate Shaggy in an alley?
Who can read minds, and they have to run from?
…wait,is Blue Shaggy actually a cohesive villain?
He’s a robot! Blue Shaggy is a mind-reading robot, impersonating a member of the gang!
I can’t believe it. The neural network actually has a plot going!
…aaaaand Fred’s making up words and putting blood on his hands to keep vampires away.
Guess things are back to normal, folks.
…normal as AI-generated Scooby-Doo can get, that is.
