Why does it feel like these movies serve as Backdoor Pilots for other shows? The Boo Brothers, the Ghoul School, the Cadettes, a monster version of the Wacky Races. They all could've been shows.
Might also because of the swedish dub or primarily being exposed to Scrappy through these movies but I don't think I ever hated him. I was way tired of the original Scooby-Doo show that constantly did reruns on Cartoon Network that when they actually showed Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo or, hell, if lucky, The 13 Ghosts or these movies, they felt so fresh and different and atmospheric that I just gobbled it up and screamed.
OMFG!!! I just scrolled down to comment about unlocking lost memories, and then I see you. The absolute last person I'd expect to see.😄 The Emperor of Man works in mysterious ways.
Not if the new movies have anything to say. Still plenty of chance the new movies can retroactively make it all just people in costumes like with No Such Thing As Zombie(s) Island and 13 Not Ghosts.
I always figured that Ghoul School, Boo Brothers, and Reluctant Werewolf were the reason that Shaggy is always terrified of whatever weekly creep in a mask the Scooby gang are dealing with/running from. Shaggy: "Like, don't tell me that monsters aren't real, I taught five of them gym, athletics, and dancing for a year, and that's not even mentioning the evil witch in the castle that tried to kidnap them, or the school's fire-breathing pet dragon."
that makes some decent sense really haha. .. for the scooby snax too. everything the monsters did was pretty halfass so he probably didnt get 100% cured xD
Is it bad I can actually HEAR him saying that to Velma after she's said that for the 100th time? He's probably sick of hearing it when he did all of that and technically WAS one for a while
Seeing that crisp animation made me realize that the Hannah-Barbara Scooby Doo style is actually really nice when it has more than 4 frames of animation per scene.
Fred in the Supernatural crossover, after learning that monsters are real: "We've been busting insurance scams when I could've been fighting Dracula?! Are you kidding me?!" Shaggy: Has met Dracula. Twice.
Scooby dum killed scrappy doo in a local New York shop. He was shot dead because scrappy tried to steal copy’s of the bee movie from a blockbuster previously the morning. May scrappy Rest In Peace
You know I think my favorite thing about Scooby Doo is that Shaggy and Scooby are notoriously cowardly, yet they befriend any monster they spend longer than ten minutes with. Like the ghoul school gals, boo brothers, etc
I absolutely wish Ghoul School on its own was able to become its own tv show. It's the definition of wholesome and i'm at least glad the girls reappeared through OK KO so they haven't been forgotten.
I think the most interesting part of these movies is how when you take shaggy and scooby out of the group you can see just how more surreal and paranormal their lives become. Shaggy literally becomes a werewolf, they teach in a ghoul school etc etc. No wonder their always so scared.
Aw, no mention that the Ghoul School girls would make a comeback in OK K.O Let's Be Heroes? Funny how it was the one show that said "No, let's NOT crossover with Scooby, let's crossover with characters that haven't been seen since the 80's."
Yeah that is true even said that it is actually his favorite film and I was quite surprised he didn't mention this it was just recently two years ago and it was a welcome surprise to me as well since I wish The Ghoul School girls returned and they did and it was a decent crossover though I wish it was longer than 11 minutes but it was still a Beautiful episode
One thing I really admire about the O.K. K.O./Ghoul School crossover was that three of the girls' original voice actors (Susan Blu, Pat Musick, and Russi Taylor) returned as their respective characters (Sibella, Elsa, and Phantasma).
I like the headcanon that Reluctant Werewolf and Ghoul School were in the same continuity. Dracula just kind of mellowed out after he and his wife had Sibella. (They either got their old wolfman back, or found a new guy who was more into the lycanthropy). It would add an extra dimension to Shaggy's apprehension at meeting the Ghoul Girls's parents. Not only was meeting Dracula just inherently frightening, but they had _history._
@@MrGhoulie It's normal to call your great uncle, uncle. Especially if your parents already refer to him as uncle, and being that this is a rich plantation family this uncle could be a revered war hero patriarch that all descendants are made aware of.
Dude I'm glad you gave Scrappy some love in the end. I always liked Scrappy because of his role in The Boo Brothers. Never understood why people dislike him so much.
Imagine if he decided to try and shoot one of the "monsters" and they start seeing blood pouring out into a pool and then reveal it was the janitor who was a mean guy but definitely did not deserve to die. "Cuts to the gang driving to the alligator infested swamps while everyone is dead silent until Scrappy-Doo cracks a cringey joke about them being the ones taking out the trash today and everyone starts cackling" end scene.
As a kid I wanted to see a Ghoul School show. Hell, I still wanna see one. I loved that special and I liked the characters. All the girls and boys were fun, likable and entertaining to see, especially the ghost girl. I liked her the most; her laugh was cute. Also, it was neat that the boys’ academy was very diverse. They were all nerds, but from different backgrounds. It was neat. Shaggy and Scooby getting used to their roles as gym teachers was fun and it was nice seeing Scrappy hang out with people around his age that weren’t those dumb sidekick dogs. It was a cute special.
@@KaminoKatie True. I guess I'm looking at it from the perspective of seeing Ghoul School as a Scooby-Doo type show than a Monster High type show, but the comparison would no doubt still be made. Didn't think about that.
You completely skipped mentioning Ghoul school’s main plot of stopping the evil witch Revolta from kidnapping and mind controlling the Ghouls and Scooby and the gang trying to save them.
When lobster scrappy shows up on screen there is a sound in the audio that with headphones on, PERFECTLY mimics the sound of my mom knocking on my bedroom door, the same rhythm, louder in the left ear, and it sounded like it was behind me.
I really adore the Ghouls, they all feel cute and creative with their own fun quirks that fit in with their monsters respectively . Sibella uses her hair as a cape, Elsa is strong as all heck, Winnie walks on all fours most of the time, Phantasma's freaking laugh, tanis's wrapping unwinding constantly. There was alot of thought put into them tbh, and their voices really helped. They embrace them being monsters and keep them fun and adorable at the same time. Btw I completely forgot how much shaggy was so done with everything in the boo Brothers so thanks for reminding me. As a side note, someone has got to make a list of all of people shown attracted to shaggy / had dated him throughout the franchise. All the gang members have had occurances where they went on dates, had people crush on them, or dated someone briefly throughout the franchise. But shaggy definitely had the most and I have so many questions.
All the girls had their quirks that really do make them standout, and have a nice interaction with Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy. Also seeing them get scared shitless when their parents come by but the monsters all just want to thank them as if they were friends all along. Real funny and heartwarming. My favorite part was when Shaggy called the Boo Brothers “nerds”. Like that was the last thing I was expecting and it always cracks me up.
The weirdest thing is, they really could've. In the 70's, when Scoobymania was still quite fresh, they did a Christmas crossover with Casper and a number of their big characters (Yogi, Quickdraw, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, etc.). Yet, they didn't have the awareness enough to tie in the one character would've made sense in that special. Here's more on that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casper%27s_First_Christmas
Ever since revisiting it, I'm convinced Ghoul School wasn't originally conceived as something for Scooby Doo. In fact, I think it was supposed to be a pilot for something original. Really think about it. No mentions of Mystery Inc or even anything even remotely close to solving mysteries from Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy, Revolta being a deliciously hammy Saturday Morning Cartoon villain this side of Skeletor, her incompetent Butt Monkey sidekick (always gotta have at least one of those if you're gonna be an 80's cartoon villain), the titular Ghouls themselves not having much in terms of character (PLEASE FORGIVE ME, SIBELLA, MY FIRST CARTOON WAIFU) and likewise for the cadets. All of this to me sounds like this was meant to be its own thing.
My aunt had the Scooby-doo Goes Hollywood VHS. The "We need you" chant.mp4 has been on loop in my brain for the last 18 years. I am in deeply intense pain
6:15 This part gave me so much anxiety as a kid and I couldn't place why. Definitely now realize its because of how unreasonably long the sequence was. Fast-forwarded through that part of the VHS every time.
Fun Fact: There's actually a Ghoul School Reunion. OK KO Lets Be Heroes "Monster Party" (S02 E19/Ep 73) actually brings the girls back (and gives a nod to Scooby and Shaggy). It's pretty easy to miss since it wasn't advertised AT ALL. And Scrappy doesn't really deserve the hate, I'll agree. He kind of just became the symbol of the decline Scooby was already in the middle of. He just ended up being the scapegoat. It's kind of Aquaman. Aquaman really isn't THAT lame in the comics (He got a arc when his main villain kills his son back in the 70s. Death of a Prince). It just became easier to lean into the joke, rather than refute it...thusly the live-action movie and other future references.
My most give memory of Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers is wanting to eat the gemstones, same thing for the gems in the beginning of Snow White, I dunno what was up with older animations making crystals look so tasty.
The moments from all 3 movies that scared me the most - Boo Brothers - That jump scare when the skeleton pops out of the chimney scared me so bad I ran out of the room Ghoul School - The whole mirror monster sequence haunted me the most out of all of them Reluctant Werewolf - The Schlock Ness Monster or just the idea of getting turned into a werewolf
Ngl Shaggy seemed more fed up with mysteries when he's rockin out with just him Scoob n Scrappy. My parents watched the OG show and always thought Scrappy would be visiting and then something would interrupt the visit and kill the mood.
And now I realize the sea monkeys were a metaphorical representation of Scrappy. (Whether intentional or not). They suddenly appeared as part of the show, changed very little of how the show actually played out, contributed some running jokes that weren't too great, or too annoying, they suddenly became a new permanent addition to the show, and just as quickly as they appeared, they were suddenly gone, they didn't get the appreciation they deserved. Just like Scrappy.
...I also just realized that Ghoul School borrows the same dynamic of two different reoccuring schools in Facts of Life, when an all-girls prep school, and the other an all-boy's military school.
Im so insulted you didnt mention the eventual team up with the cadets to save the girls from the being kidnapped by an EVIL monster, honestly the most wholesome part of the movie.
."ain't no laws when you're drinking claws baby". Favorite line in the history of the channel Bet it takes so many white claws to fill up that gallon water bottle. Billiam filters them through Brita filters to clean up the distilling and give them a white claw/ gummy shark flavor he's come to know and love.
At this point just get a camelbak. Trust me when I used to to drink a ton they are super handy and really not inconvenient at all you don't even know they're there. Other than the backpack strap with 20lb of water that you're toting around ... It's like toting nothing at all... Nothing at all... Nothing at all. Stupid sexy Flanders Instead I just put a really long hose on it so that I could reach it from the office. As long as no one was stepping on it since I had to drape it along the sidewalk every morning on my way to work. 10/10 would recommend 👍
"Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf" was my favorite Scooby Doo cartoon growing up and is still the one that I go back to for some nostalgia. It basically combines 3 things that I loved growing up (Scooby Doo, Wacky Races, and the Universal Monsters) into one cartoon. Dracula was really funny in that cartoon as well.
I always felt like the Scrappy hate was overrated. Thanks for making a strong case for it, even though you went a little OC in the process by watching all of Scooby-Doo.
Scooby Doo goes Hollywood was my favorite when I was a kid and I watched it at least twice a day. The montage where they just say "scooby doo we need you" was just another bop to me
I honestly loved this trilogy as a kid. Three of my most watched VHS tapes as a kid. Now, my son is a fan of Reluctant Werewolf which makes me love it even more.
Im 27 now in 2021. I remember wathcing this with my lil sister back in like 2002, 2003 and 04 they used to play it all the time in Cartoon network. I miss those days.
…and now I know! I spent 44 years wondering where the hell “the hills are alive with the sounds of scooby” came from, with the vague memory it was not on a Saturday morning….and now I know! Thanks, I guess. I can finally shut down that part of my brain.
Billiam has talked about the Bigger Britta Pitcher so much that I actually want him to make an entire hour video just talking about it’s backstory because I want to know more about the Billiam lore!
That style with the bubbles is called tripping. I absolutely love the Ghoul School though. My brother and I were addicted and watched it a lot before it was taken off On Demand. I really loved it.☺️ Nostalgia is tearing through me right now.
Each movie had something great for me: Boo Brothers had riddles for me to try and figure out, Reluctant Werewolf showed me how to drive fast, and Ghoul’s School was always interesting to me because of the boys school, and guess what, surprise surprise, I grew up to figure out I was gay in Boy Scouts full of of preppy kids in dumb uniforms
I remember liking The Ghoul School too... most of it at least! I loved the dynamic between the scaredey cats Scooby and Shaggy and the spooky girl ghouls (the Mummy's daughter might possibly be one of the most adorable things ever put to television), heck I even loved Scrappy's wide eyed innocence towards everything. However, literally every time it came on Cartoon Network, I remember just getting bored with it midway through. I enjoyed seeing the Volleyball game that they were building up, and I loved Shaggy and Scoob's reactions to meeting the famous Movie Monsters as fathers, but I always kind of felt like it should've just ended there! I honestly didn't care about that witch villain, and I was just losing interest at that point.
When I was a kid my family didn't have cable, so I watched a lot of VHS tapes to pass the time and actually watch cartoons. I had Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood and Meets the Boo-Brothers and watched them religiously. I remember thinking the 'Goes Hollywood' VHS was so cool because it had the Scooby-Doo episode of Johnny Bravo after the credits.
In 1994 Hanna-Barbera also made a Movie about the Arabian Nights with Shaggy & Scooby taking jobs as Royal Food Tasters for a Caliph, but get in trouble because they ate the Entire Lunch(no surprise there), a crazy chase ensues, they hide in the Harem, and they get roped into a situation where they have to tell Stories to the Caliph, they tell the tale of "Aliyah-Din and the Magic Lamp"(a Genderbent version of "Aladdin"), with Yogi Bear as the Genie of the Lamp & Boo-Boo as his Genie-in-Training, then Shaggy & Scooby tell the tale of "Sinbad the Sailor", with Magilla Gorilla as Sinbad himself, and in the End the Caliph is willing to forgive Shaggy & Scooby if they stay as Royal Story Tellers. The Film features an All-Star cast of Veteran Voice Actors, and was the Final Time Don Messick got to voice Scooby-Doo in Animation before his death(RIP), and was the one Film that stared Shaggy & Scooby Alone(Without Scrappy).
So my trip down this rabbit hole actually started from watching that one episode of O.K K.O lets be heroes that featured the ghoul school. This has been a crazy journey I'll say that much
Watching these Scooby special Billiam has been putting out has made me realize just how much of the older Scooby Doo I've actually seen. I didn't realize I was so well versed in classic Doo.
My good sir, you have NO idea how many times I have watched all of these specials. I had these VHS tapes at my grandparents house and watched the LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of them. Surprised you didn’t mention the villain from Ghoul School, but she was boring so absolutely fair.
I never learned piano...
Yeah, it fits a whole gallon!
What're you talking about? Your piano playing brought a tear to my eye
Just dont do it with rancid pickles around... They watch you while you sleep...

Red shirt shaggy is a legend
Not quite on the level of Shaggy Blanco, but pretty epic.
Lobster scrappy made boys into men

Red Shirt Shaggy is just built different.
Red shirt Shaggy is definitely a legend. One of those scary ones that keeps kids away from scary houses.
Why does it feel like these movies serve as Backdoor Pilots for other shows? The Boo Brothers, the Ghoul School, the Cadettes, a monster version of the Wacky Races. They all could've been shows.
Can't say much about Ghoul School, but I think the Boo Brothers were conceived to have their own series.
From what I've read, yeah They DID considered doing it. But then they scrapped it and made Gravedale High, whatever that is...
Dtoons i love your videos!
What funny is that the vampire girl got retroactively turned into one of the main cast members of O.K. K.O.
I'm sure if they did these shows now, they would have spinoffs and toys. Look at how popular The Hex Girls got.
the ghoul school was literally my fave scooby doo movie as a kid.
same
Yep
For real! I watched my VHS copy so many times ☺️
My favorite scrappy movie is. Scrappy gets aids
Same here, for me Scooby Doo always had real monsters.
Nikko the quiet piano character with a hidden EXTREMELY high power level.
Might also because of the swedish dub or primarily being exposed to Scrappy through these movies but I don't think I ever hated him.
I was way tired of the original Scooby-Doo show that constantly did reruns on Cartoon Network that when they actually showed Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo or, hell, if lucky, The 13 Ghosts or these movies, they felt so fresh and different and atmospheric that I just gobbled it up and screamed.

Oh they definitely have a cult following- and it helps the monster girls fad let people openly express their interest in more recent years

Ghoul school was the original Monster high, change my mind.
You’re not wrong, you are not wrong. Only differences, Ghoul School didn’t have toys. Well, as far as I know
I wouldn't be surprised if Ghoul School was the main inspiration for Monster High, it always looked like some Ghoul School and Bratz mashup.
I was going to comment the same! The Ghouls from Ghoul School are even based on the same monsters as the main ghouls in Monster High
Well, and there was Gravedale High soon after this movie...
Ghoul School was pretty much one of the very first to have the "cute monster girls" concept. So you aren't wrong.
"The more and more I learn about Scooby Doo lore, the farther and farther my one brain cell distances itself from its fated mitosis."
That compilation of Shaggy being angry is absolute gold.

@@sarafontanini7051 Oh god no, now I'm thinking about how Rule 34 is probably running wild with that angle, I hate the internet.
@@DaDualityofMan do you know how long they have to use them
@@shadowspider9 oh no
0:04 "We're getting close to the end.. I promise."
Me: "I don't mind"
Billiam: "That was for me"
Me: "That's fair"
My aunt had the Scooby-doo Goes Hollywood VHS. The "We need you" chant.mp4 has been on loop in my brain for the last 18 years. I am in deeply intense pain
yeah hearing that again unlocked some long forgotten memories in the deepest depths of my brain
IT'S BACK IN MY F**KING BRAIN AGAIN!
6:15 This part gave me so much anxiety as a kid and I couldn't place why. Definitely now realize its because of how unreasonably long the sequence was. Fast-forwarded through that part of the VHS every time.
@11:49-@12:05 Shaggy's rant embodies my mood throughout 2020
Oh, he just didn't bring his kush with him on the trip.
@@biggrizzgojira9883 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was when Shaggy's power was slowly starting to manifest itself. Like Goku becoming Super Saiyan for the first time.
Just wait for 2021.
You’re gonna hit the roof.
Home boy was ready. Pulled out a gun and everything.
Fun Fact: There's actually a Ghoul School Reunion. OK KO Lets Be Heroes "Monster Party" (S02 E19/Ep 73) actually brings the girls back (and gives a nod to Scooby and Shaggy). It's pretty easy to miss since it wasn't advertised AT ALL.
And Scrappy doesn't really deserve the hate, I'll agree. He kind of just became the symbol of the decline Scooby was already in the middle of. He just ended up being the scapegoat. It's kind of Aquaman. Aquaman really isn't THAT lame in the comics (He got a arc when his main villain kills his son back in the 70s. Death of a Prince). It just became easier to lean into the joke, rather than refute it...thusly the live-action movie and other future references.
As a Southerner, the Sheriff’s voice absolutely kills me every single time. I think that Boo Brothers is one of the absolute best scrappy shows.
Same this movie never failed to make me laugh as a kid.
The Sheriff is voiced by Boss Hogg from "The Dukes of Hazard."
@@newguy90 no way really??? Thats an awsome fact!!
I really loved Ghoul School when I was a kid. Rewatched that so many times.
As a kid I had a crush on Dracula's daughter. I pretty sure every single guy had a crush on Dracula's daughter when they were young.
Can confirm.
And r34 her
I thought more people had a crush on Phantasma, I did anyway.
Susan Blu's voice really seals it
As a girl same
God that trilogy was such a fever dream, I honestly thought I made those up when I was a kid.
Johnny Bravo: (Spits water out) This water tastes nasty!
Suzy: MY SEA MONKEYS!
My most give memory of Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers is wanting to eat the gemstones, same thing for the gems in the beginning of Snow White, I dunno what was up with older animations making crystals look so tasty.
What about the Skull Ghost?
FINALLY, i remember werewolf Shaggy but haven't seen it mentioned ever in the community, I thought I dreamed it lol
Same here!
13:33 Don't forget Enid, daughter of the witch who _definitely_ was there the whole time.
N: "I never learned piano"
B: "Yeah it fits a whole gallon!"
N: Proceeds to absolutely lose his shit
I love that part
Boos Brothers are straight-up the uncle ghosts from CASPER,
Yeah I knew they seemed familiar..
The moments from all 3 movies that scared me the most -
Boo Brothers - That jump scare when the skeleton pops out of the chimney scared me so bad I ran out of the room
Ghoul School - The whole mirror monster sequence haunted me the most out of all of them
Reluctant Werewolf - The Schlock Ness Monster or just the idea of getting turned into a werewolf
Ngl Shaggy seemed more fed up with mysteries when he's rockin out with just him Scoob n Scrappy. My parents watched the OG show and always thought Scrappy would be visiting and then something would interrupt the visit and kill the mood.
Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers was my jam as a preschooler. We watched it so much that the cassette tape broke.
And now I realize the sea monkeys were a metaphorical representation of Scrappy. (Whether intentional or not). They suddenly appeared as part of the show, changed very little of how the show actually played out, contributed some running jokes that weren't too great, or too annoying, they suddenly became a new permanent addition to the show, and just as quickly as they appeared, they were suddenly gone, they didn't get the appreciation they deserved. Just like Scrappy.
19:56 Hey, Shaggy pulls, man. He’s got more love interests than the whole rest of the cast.
That's why he's called Shaggy
Velma has her body count up there too
@@jonahwillliams5959 She does?
"She caught me in my red shirt! It wasn't me!"
Let's be happy no one lusted after shaggy in ghoul school and that their moms didn't attend the conference either
SHAGGY JUST YELLING AT EVERYONE LMAOO
For some reason it felt like Ghoul School was on Boomerang all the time in the late 2000s.
Still is now, the channel recently spent October airing everything Scooby doo and that movie was played like 6 times throughout the month
@@bigguy952 Yea, Ghoul School, Reluctant Werewolf are probably on the most.
@@rebeccawilliamson1978 Don't you've really missed the 80s?
And the world was better for it.
I loved Ghoul School, it’s such a memorable movie. Especially around Halloween! It was great to see the Ghouls return in a Halloween episode of OK KO.
...I also just realized that Ghoul School borrows the same dynamic of two different reoccuring schools in Facts of Life, when an all-girls prep school, and the other an all-boy's military school.
I don't know how I feel about being reminded that ghoul school exists.
I definitely watched it at least twice as a kid.
Im so insulted you didnt mention the eventual team up with the cadets to save the girls from the being kidnapped by an EVIL monster, honestly the most wholesome part of the movie.
Fun fact: The girls from Ghoul School show up in an episode of OK K.O Let's Be Heroes.
WAIT WHAT! WHICH EPISODE!?!?
th-cam.com/video/CBhzbPTS1m4/w-d-xo.html it's something like them but not really.
@@nathanielhellman6952 you're literally online, why not Google it? Or type it in youtube? Just wondering
@@moments.hybrid I did! It was so nice to hear most of the voice actresses again! I loved it!
."ain't no laws when you're drinking claws baby". Favorite line in the history of the channel
Bet it takes so many white claws to fill up that gallon water bottle. Billiam filters them through Brita filters to clean up the distilling and give them a white claw/ gummy shark flavor he's come to know and love.
At this point just get a camelbak. Trust me when I used to to drink a ton they are super handy and really not inconvenient at all you don't even know they're there. Other than the backpack strap with 20lb of water that you're toting around ... It's like toting nothing at all... Nothing at all... Nothing at all. Stupid sexy Flanders
Instead I just put a really long hose on it so that I could reach it from the office. As long as no one was stepping on it since I had to drape it along the sidewalk every morning on my way to work. 10/10 would recommend 👍
god, quarantine has been going so long i forgot the joy of watching youtubers slowly go insane alongside myself. thank you for reviving that, billiam
"Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf" was my favorite Scooby Doo cartoon growing up and is still the one that I go back to for some nostalgia. It basically combines 3 things that I loved growing up (Scooby Doo, Wacky Races, and the Universal Monsters) into one cartoon. Dracula was really funny in that cartoon as well.
I have a huge place in my heart for the Ghoul School movie and, to a lesser extent, The Reluctant Ware Wolf, so this is gonna be great!
Whats your favorite part of Reluctant were wolf
What about Count Dracula?
"Scrappy and Shaggy's girlfriend cheer them on."
...Wait _what?_
_Oh,_ you meant that they... You know what, never mind.
The crowd chanting and holding signs saying they NEED SCOOBY was some serious super-liminal pro Scooby propaganda
You have unlocked so many lost memories.
So for what it's worth I appreciate you enduring through this.
I always felt like the Scrappy hate was overrated. Thanks for making a strong case for it, even though you went a little OC in the process by watching all of Scooby-Doo.
Scooby Doo goes Hollywood was my favorite when I was a kid and I watched it at least twice a day. The montage where they just say "scooby doo we need you" was just another bop to me
I honestly loved this trilogy as a kid. Three of my most watched VHS tapes as a kid. Now, my son is a fan of Reluctant Werewolf which makes me love it even more.
Ghoul School was probably my introduction to monster girls.
These movies were my introduction to Scrappy, because of that I never really understood the hate towards him
Same
Same
Same!
Same

Im 27 now in 2021. I remember wathcing this with my lil sister back in like 2002, 2003 and 04 they used to play it all the time in Cartoon network. I miss those days.
Ghoul School was such a comfort movie for me as a child, I used to watch it all the time and I love it to this day.
The reluctant werewolf is such a nostalgic classic to me. I really enjoyed it
Lost it at “I’m a Doo-Tuber” oh god this is my fave series tho
That Scooby Cherie song...I'm obsessed with that song.
I thought the gallon bucket bit was gonna be an ad or something but I guess y'all just like big containers of water on this show
Neat.
ironically, that makes me want one more
…and now I know! I spent 44 years wondering where the hell “the hills are alive with the sounds of scooby” came from, with the vague memory it was not on a Saturday morning….and now I know! Thanks, I guess. I can finally shut down that part of my brain.
Billiam has talked about the Bigger Britta Pitcher so much that I actually want him to make an entire hour video just talking about it’s backstory because I want to know more about the Billiam lore!
I just thought it was a subtle buildup to a sponsorship segment, but it never came xD
@@InquisitiveRavenclaw lol I actually never thought of that even happening. Then again, I sometimes don’t notice obvious foreshadowing like that.
That style with the bubbles is called tripping. I absolutely love the Ghoul School though. My brother and I were addicted and watched it a lot before it was taken off On Demand. I really loved it.☺️ Nostalgia is tearing through me right now.
Each movie had something great for me: Boo Brothers had riddles for me to try and figure out, Reluctant Werewolf showed me how to drive fast, and Ghoul’s School was always interesting to me because of the boys school, and guess what, surprise surprise, I grew up to figure out I was gay in Boy Scouts full of of preppy kids in dumb uniforms
Scoop Doo and the Ghoul School unlocked a forgets memory thanks Billiam!
Ghoul school was great, just uh...keep the safe search on when googling it.
Oh no...
Oh no
Eh, there ain't that much out there
Oh god.
No lol
I remember liking The Ghoul School too... most of it at least! I loved the dynamic between the scaredey cats Scooby and Shaggy and the spooky girl ghouls (the Mummy's daughter might possibly be one of the most adorable things ever put to television), heck I even loved Scrappy's wide eyed innocence towards everything.
However, literally every time it came on Cartoon Network, I remember just getting bored with it midway through. I enjoyed seeing the Volleyball game that they were building up, and I loved Shaggy and Scoob's reactions to meeting the famous Movie Monsters as fathers, but I always kind of felt like it should've just ended there! I honestly didn't care about that witch villain, and I was just losing interest at that point.
The fact that scooby doo has no cohesive continuity is hilarious, but Billium needs a break
Fun fact, OK KO, that cartoon series, had an episode where they involved the Ghoul School from these exact movies. Its hilarious.
Quite liked all three of these as a kid. Haven’t watched them since but I have fond memories. Especially ghoul school.
When I was a kid my family didn't have cable, so I watched a lot of VHS tapes to pass the time and actually watch cartoons. I had Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood and Meets the Boo-Brothers and watched them religiously. I remember thinking the 'Goes Hollywood' VHS was so cool because it had the Scooby-Doo episode of Johnny Bravo after the credits.
0/10 Didn't mention the second half of Ghoul School with Revolta and the Grim Creeper.
They're the bad guys.
The ghoul school proves the “Shaggy is the jock of the gang” theory correct. Also, it’s very nice that it’s as wholesome as it is.
I could honestly watch you covering Scooby-Doo content forever.
In 1994 Hanna-Barbera also made a Movie about the Arabian Nights with Shaggy & Scooby taking jobs as Royal Food Tasters for a Caliph, but get in trouble because they ate the Entire Lunch(no surprise there), a crazy chase ensues, they hide in the Harem, and they get roped into a situation where they have to tell Stories to the Caliph, they tell the tale of "Aliyah-Din and the Magic Lamp"(a Genderbent version of "Aladdin"), with Yogi Bear as the Genie of the Lamp & Boo-Boo as his Genie-in-Training, then Shaggy & Scooby tell the tale of "Sinbad the Sailor", with Magilla Gorilla as Sinbad himself, and in the End the Caliph is willing to forgive Shaggy & Scooby if they stay as Royal Story Tellers.
The Film features an All-Star cast of Veteran Voice Actors, and was the Final Time Don Messick got to voice Scooby-Doo in Animation before his death(RIP), and was the one Film that stared Shaggy & Scooby Alone(Without Scrappy).
I used to watch Ghoul School on an old vhs all throughout my childhood, so the nostalgia of this vid hit hard lmao
So my trip down this rabbit hole actually started from watching that one episode of O.K K.O lets be heroes that featured the ghoul school. This has been a crazy journey I'll say that much
Enthusiastically slapping a bucket and shouting "Yeah it fits a whole GALLON!" might be the best punchline I've seen all year
Watching these Scooby special Billiam has been putting out has made me realize just how much of the older Scooby Doo I've actually seen. I didn't realize I was so well versed in classic Doo.
11:49 looks like shaggy couldn't find a drug dealer in town and he's starting to lash out due to withdrawal
That is also a good theory.
My good sir, you have NO idea how many times I have watched all of these specials. I had these VHS tapes at my grandparents house and watched the LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of them.
Surprised you didn’t mention the villain from Ghoul School, but she was boring so absolutely fair.
