Indexer Notes

GOOD BIT: As expected, Shaggy and Scooby run through the car wash, getting the requisite wash-y works. Shaggy emerges from the ordeal sporting a fluffed-up '70s style afro, while Scooby assumes the appearance of a poodle (albeit Great Dane sized) with similarly fluffed-up ears, tip of tail, and "poodle-cut ring" around his middle.

SHAGGY: "Man, it's not EASY being CLEAN!"
