Hello
#postmortem if you guys absolutely had to be murdered, how would you want to be killed and why? i love your content and i'm looking forward to the next season!! :))) #boogara
@@lillianm6488 wtf kinda question is that?!
#postmortem Why do you guys sit on blocks instead of the chairs
I love these vids keep going and will you guys go over strange cases that have been solved like a series of strange solved cases
People were scared of 'sheet ghosts' because back then they couldn't afford coffins so people were buried in white shrouds and that is what the ghost is meant to be - someone risen from the grave.
That sounds logical 🧐
Omg really??? Woah
Makes sense
@@darthkai8242 "biased" like the tabaco industry.
you should put this for the #postmortem
“If you see a ghost, don’t shoot a gun at it” big words coming from mr holy water pistol over here
At least water gun doesn't kill an actual person, just make them wet and angry.
and also to Mr Shane shoot the alien spaceship with your gun Madej
I mean, it makes sense, sort of. Holy water is supposed to deal with ghosts, and lead has no such properties. My best guess, from my limited understanding of ghosts, is to punch them. They're only spirits, and you've got a spirit in you, too- but their spirit is flimsy, floating on the breeze with nothing to support it, like a thin, sheer cloth blowing in the wind, while you have a body supporting yours, like a sturdy wooden kite. You could probably punch a hole straight through them if you tried.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@Rippertear bruh
Imagine your prank ends up killing a pregnant woman and her unborn child, the murder of an innocent man, 200+ years of judicial debate, and a centuries old ghost story that still persists today.
job well done if you ask me
That's the risk you take
"Mommy Make-Out Day" was truly a tragedy.
Think about how did they know that the pregnant woman was hugged by a ghost when she was in a coma since they found her? I think it's a made out story only.
On par with the guy who faked the bigfoot prints at his lumber job and started a whole frenzy in his town that lasted decades.
Imagine you're the guy who got shot for maybe being a ghost. I would intentionally come back as a ghost! I'd be so mad like "oh yeah? I'll show you a ghost!!"
Suppose further that this bricklayer chap was a time-traveling ghost. And he actually went back in time to become the original Hammersmith ghost! Then his ghost would be the one who started the hysteria that led up to his own death!
LMAOOOOOO I CAN'T WITH THIS COMMENT
Imagine being the idiot who thought you could SHOOT a ghost! lol.
Supposedly the Black Lion tavern is haunted by that guy lmao
@@notCynicalReally Why that place? Bars sucks so why would you want to haunt one?
Imagine how wild Scooby Doo would be if Fred just brought a glock to every haunting

Fred doesn't have a catchphrase because he traded it for a gun
You don't want to help me set up the trap Daphne? Well luckily, *reloads* , I came prepared this time!
Now let's see who the culprit *really* is! [cocking gun]
Millwood literally died to keep wearing an all white fit. Respect his drip

Life is temporary, the drip is forever
Drip or drown
what is drip?

Covid
@@GlassOnion. Ah yes, COVID, the enemy of blankets and beach chairs
Corona social distancing
@@didyousaythat9178 I'll go out on a limb and say they could move the chairs a little further apart. They don't look very heavy
@@buckokid5930 they look like just lawn chairs. Still more comfortable with back support.
fun fact: shane is right about boo ghosts being scary a couple hundred years ago. the image of a ghost in a sheet originates from the tradition of burying people wrapped in a shroud, and boo ghosts were commonly viewed as terrifying back then
damn when you put it like that it is pretty scary
This case is literally a Scooby Doo episode gone horribly wrong.
omg it is
@@mrdepressedperson9060 I’m sorry just your username is my life rn😂
@@harveenn.7237 I definitely relate 😂
I was waiting and waiting for them to say it. I really wish Shane pointed that out only for Ryan to stare at him, but at least Christina T. noticed so that's better than nothing.
If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching the movie "Saturday Morning Mystery." The original title was "Saturday Morning Massacre." It is a live action Scooby Doo horror film, the names of the characters are changed for copyright purposes but it is clearly a Scooby Doo story.
Supernatural x true crime. The crossover that we Didn’t know we needed
Exactly...
But the one we deserve
The lizzie borden one is the same way
Yee... check @daily_discourse on Instagram for debates!

This story is the very definition of: "Cool motive, still murder."
Nine Nine!
But still ain't that motive a cool one 😉
Buzzfeed set designers: let’s put two cozy lounge chairs with warm blankets in the background there....Then we’ll put 2 of the tiniest most uncomfortable wooden crates the world has ever seen for them to sit on directly beside those lounge chairs.
Now I can’t stop looking.
Cause of social distancing I'm guessing
@@trashcannot658 they couldn’t just... move the chairs away from each other...?😂
@@isabellarae9904 true i guess
Those are set boxes it was the Directors choice having them in the chair 6feet apart probably look more unnatural then just using set boxes that you normally put a sheet on to key or color match something also filling the the 6foot gap with a backdrop set that makes a triangle is more pleasing and gives 3 point for your eyes to fix to the boring stuff in the middle or the two humans talking also straight lines are used more when shooting guys one last thing is there using forced perspective if you look at the back chairs to make Ryan look a bit taller then Shane so it would distract the viewer
Buzzfeed Unsolved: 7 seasons Buzzfeed Unsolved if Ryan had a gun: 1 episode
Ryan did several episodes with some other guy before Shane joined, but yeah. It certainly wouldn't have been more than one full season.
But wouldn't it be Buzzfeed: Solved then? lol
Buzzfeed unsolved if Ryan had a gun: one clip
Shane would finally believe in ghosts
@@vadapartyannapurna because he'd be one after Ryan finally shot him😅
ryan is threatening to kill shane again, nature is healing
Love it.....all is well again. The violent threats to one another. Ahhhhhhhhhh
Or maybe that's another occurances of Ricky Goldsworth
@@AxxLAfriku njdjhebhjeryhdhwndjubweydbgwiuhd
😌
@@AxxLAfriku I haven't seen you in years....
This episode is such a banger. Every one of their little side bits slayed me. Ryan reenacting the clown mime and Shane perfectly capturing a ghost walking backwards, while sitting down no less! -- the boys got physical comedy chops for days.
Hard agree! Their physical comedy is gold every time
The ghost walking backwards killed me 🤣 lol
The "disagree, shoot em" becomes more worrisome when you realize shane does not believe in ghosts, so he is 199% advocating for shooting tricksters you think are ghosts
Shane wakes up every day and chooses violence
Shane doesn't want people pranking his boys
Ryan’s “British accent” is a combination of bad impressions of at least 10 different accents.
yeah somehow he morphed into south african at one point which is one of the hardest accents for americans to replicate lol
its terrible
Don't forget a terrible Irish accent snuck in there
Possibly the worst accent I've ever heard 🤣
It’s a mix of South African and New Zealand
the judge was like “this is a murder trial” and the jury is like “he’s guilty of manslaughter” and the judge is like “what the hell did i just say”
Mans laughter
as a law student, i can clarify that murder and manslaughter are different. murder would generally be premeditated and intentional, manslaughter is when you clearly take a life but without the intention behind it, making it a slightly lesser charge. both bad, but as he wasn't intending to kill a man but a ghost, it was manslaughter, not murder
@@Notoastleft I don't see how this could be considered as anything else but murder the guy went to shot someone he wasn't startled and it wasn't self-defense he went out to kill the person pretending to be a ghost
@@Notoastleft I mean if you yell out at a person "What are you? I'm going to shoot you" twice and shoot them after getting no response, that seems pretty premeditated to me. Manslaughter would be if the man was caught up in a shooting between other parties for instance, as there is no intention there. This case was, by definition, murder.
@@Notoastleft Quite right! I mentioned in my comment that, after talking to a Q.C. friend of my fathers, he pointed out the importance that this case of 1804 had on U.K. law. It set a legal precedent in the U.K., regarding self-defence, ie; whether someone could be held liable for their actions, even if they were the consequence of a mistaken belief! In our family we have always seemed to have one foot in the area of law the other (including my own) in medicine, or a mix of the two. I must admit, the mirth that Shane & Ryan always seem to gain from even recent murders, has always prevented me from subbing, wishing that they could see the horrors of sudden death, especially afflicted by others, in the flesh, so to speak. Also a wish, regardless that murder never comes knocking at their own doors. I wish you all the best in your legal studies.
"Have I done a woopsie?" 💀😂😂😂
I was tearing up I was laughing so hard!
Yes. I saw that part of the video too
Oh my gosh! That freaking killed me! I've watched that part so many times!
"Are we the badies?"
My theory is that the ghost of Thomas Millwood time traveled to the past, scared random people, and eventually caused his own death. I think it's a time loop.
I like the way you think!
Literally just listening to his wife would’ve prevented most of this lol
Thats why they say "If men wanna live, then they should listen to their wives" LOL
His wife was like.. I told you so
Honestly this sentiment could apply to lots of things
@@NoobMaster-lr2li Not if those wives are psycho bitches who end up killing them.
@@englishatheart issa joke
“Even if a police officer killed someone he was entitled to apprehend, that was also still murder.” Can anyone explain why a British judge in 1804 makes more sense then the entire US justice system today?
The man who shot the “ghost” wasn’t the law. Police have a right to protect themselves and others from someone dangerous. Sometimes this goes wrong and they hit someone innocent. That’s touchy because it could’ve been a passive kill (meaning unintentional) or the officer knew what they wanted to do.
@@Baskin20916 that would be manslaughter. Which isn’t as bad as murder 1 or 2. A life was still ended.
if those republicans could read they’d be very upset
Even if a police officer killed someone he was entiled to apperd, that was also still murder. Can anyone explain why a British judge in 1804 make more sense than enter us justice system today
because every scenario is different. if their lives are being threatened, they’re allowed to defend themselves.
I would actually LOVE to see you guys do a story on the mass clown sighting a few years ago, I don’t even remember how that all started, but I would love to see an in-depth story on that modern day mass hysteria!!!
omg me too!! i was 15 when that all started (20 now) and i would *love* to know the origin!!
izzzyzzz has a great video on that
I was in maths class in high school and a bunch of kids started screaming and talking even the teacher joined in because apparently there was a clown sighting in the park literally around the corner about 30 seconds away. Apparently there was talk about sending us home but all that happened was the gates were all shut and locked. Reminded me of Harry Potter prisoner of Azkaban
That's was too funny.. one clown attacks somebody and suddenly everybody want to go attack clowns.. lol
No bc my brother saw a clown on Halloween in the backyard of our old house a few years back
"Was Jesus a ghost?" Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave
Non-Christian person here: isn't that a thing, canonically, though?? What's the Holy Ghost, if not Jesus? Is that one of those abstract metaphors that aren't meant to be explained (or so Christians I've talked to previously have said about things that don't make sense)?
Dude the Holy Ghost tho
Imagine Shane saying “buzzfeed is bigger than Jesus” 😂
@@Darth-Maul0660 that'd be funny
@@A_T216technically I believe the Holy Ghost is not Jesus because the three (god Jesus and the HG) make up the holy trinity so they’re different things. I don’t think theologically that the “Holy Ghost” is actually the ghost of Jesus Christ, right?
Shane looks like a middle aged mom who wraps herself up in her robe in the mornings while drinking her coffee and wondering where she went wrong
Oh my god YES!
Like he’s about to go for a run after taking the kids to school but one of the teachers called saying how the youngest pooped his pants and needs a fresh pair of undies and pants. And Shane had just had it up to here.
My aunt and my mom do that
Oddly specific, yet completely accurate😂
Haha yes! ‘looks in mirror’ well, that’s a little too close for comfort..
"but i was trying to kill a ghost!" cool motive, still murder
ahh i see you’re a person of culture as well
Noice reference
I just watch that episode... And I'm happy that I understand the reference! XD
Cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt no doubt
"There was nothing written into law about killing ghosts, so the jury reconvened." 😆
Shane’s old fashioned British accent is amazing but Ryan just sounds Australian
Yup
Yes😂😂
That's cause Shane is actually immortal and used to live there
They sound like a Monty Python bit, when they do British accents
@@WickedElfie I mean the actors are British so that probably helps a little.
Ok, but why's everyone walking around a churchyard late at night?
what else was there to do in the olden days
I mean, if it’s late at night- sleep 🤣
Well, there were, and still are, walkways through many of London’s cemeteries. They’re a short cut. Back then, people were out working and drinking….using the cemetery short cuts. I used to walk through one every day to get to school in Walthamstow, London.
@@pommiebears okay but what does a pregnant lady have any business out at 10 pm???
@@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks She might have been a domestic or service worker. Or on her way home after getting something to eat after a shift. People and life were not that much different then, when you think about it. Also there were not a lot of other options for transporting oneself, other than walking. There were hansom cabs for hire but these were not something working class people were usually paying for when they could just walk.
For post-mortem: fun fact! Back in the day many people would have been buried wrapped in a white burial shroud made of cotton, linen, or muslin. They are still used across the globe today as they are used in many burial traditions but are even growing in popularity for westerners here in Australia due to green burials. Maybe this is where the imagery of a boo ghost covered in a white sheet comes from? #postmortem
tag it! #postmortem this is really interesting and makes a lot of sense for why they would confuse someone for a ghost
@@shelbystyf2519 thanks for the heads up! I agree, like they’ve just risen from the grave
Thank you! I was waiting for someone to post this, it was eating me up 😂
@@MultiMel0 great job dude I hope they address your research. How do I promote this can I tag something little help please 🤔
i always thought ghosts were depicted with a sheet over them because people would throw them over the ghost to make it become visible

@@nehanishanp as
Do you imagine the guy actually pretending to be a ghost heard about someone getting shot and then decided to quit
Would he not have stopped after the women died
What if there was an actual ghost that heard about it and stopped. The ghost going "spooking people is fun, but now they start killing each other, I'm out"
what if the guy who got shot WAS the guy actually pretending to be a ghost? I mean, it's still murder but the goal was reached
This is hilarious
I think that is absolutely what happened.
Literally no one: The townspeople: Let's walk around the cemetery!
Oh yes, time for the daily WALK THROUGH THE CEMETERY! Such fun! In the middle of the night it always is! Yes siree, the most fun I’ve had ever!
This is late but during this time period, cemeteries were kind of a common public space. It depended on the area mostly
I walk around graveyards all the time. Lots of birds and very calm
I walk through the cemetery where I live. It's quiet. Also there are cute crows that always want my attention.
that awkward moment when you try to kill a ghost, but instead accidentally make another one
It be like that sometimes, I mean, what? I didn't say that...
Underrated🤣🙌
PLEASE THIS COMMENT IS SO FUNNY I CANT
This case is just like a Scooby-Doo episode, but instead of unmasking the fake ghost, they just shoot some random guy who had a passing resemblance to him.
Yayyy now I know of at least 3 people who noticed that! (including me) (I still wish Shane had interrupted Ryan to point it out though)
They're almost like the real police!
This is like the John Mulaney bit about shooting Hitler.
I wouldn't call it a passing resemblence, it's white clothes vs. white burial shroud, come on, that's idiotic to think they're the same person. Dude was just wearing his work clothes.
@@prawdziwaChAD True, true.
Shane's Olde English accent is actually quite good.
Ikr? I noticed too
It's not even 'Olde' English; I actually live in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and people still talk like that here!
Especially considering that in an older episode he didn't know Gaol = Jail. Also the accent is good but not actually old English.
Shane: "I think we as human beings should not allow ourselves to end someone else's life". *A woman shoots a criminal after she was threatened by the axeman* Shane: Good for her!
Ryan: Good for you, Esther. Shoot him in the face. 😆😆
As he should
The axeman was doing the same thing tho, it's completely different
@@kinggenderman1874 and he was Right.
@@mediocrio Wait, Shane or the axeman?
Everyone talks about Shane being a demon, but no one talks about Ryan's magical ability to create new accents 😂
I was looking for this comment. Glad I didn't have to look for very long
There was a bit of a French accent in there
it was like african and bostonian at the same time
Ricky Goldsworth, master of deception.
At 15:15 he sounded a little bit like Stewie from Family Guy
The white shroud likely refers to the funeral shroud, a thin cloth they wrapped bodies in or laid on top of a body. Back in the old days, suicide deaths were thought to create restless spirits, and suicide victims were buried at crossroads. So the lore of this ghost haunting travellers checks out! #postmortem
Interesting.
Pleeeeease edit this to have #postmortem so they might see this.
Mmmm... Intersecting.
@@shinobusora done! Thanks for reminding me. I didn't expect to get this many likes haha
I believe I read that they not only buried suicides at crossroads, but also drove a stake through the body to nail to the ground and left part of the stake visible above ground for some time.
21:22 imagine being legally declared a nuisance
"Even if a police officer killed someone he was entitled to apprehend, that was also still murder." I like this judge.
Guy he wanted to apprehend shoots a child in the head and then aims at the officers what do they do next? Hmmm
@@MorkandGork So because someone *might* harm someone if the cop doesn't shoot him, it's okay for the cop to shoot him before he's harmed anyone? Well that's a wrap everyone! no need for the justice system! guilty until proven innocent is the new rule of law!
@@MorkandGorkshoot to wound, not to kill, moron.

indeed indeed indeed indeed
“Even if a police officer killed someone he was entitled to apprehend, that was also murder.” Interesting lol
and yet some people will insist that not following directions is enough justification for them to be murdered 🙄
Yeah, seems like the justice system conveniently forgot about that detail.
“I said, ‘Yup, what a concept!’”
Murica does things differently
@@luna-pr3go It is justified when there is present or possible danger to civilians or officers of the law.
It's been 6 months and I'm still obsessed with the whole "boo ghost" banter
"You are under arrest!" "Why, under what charge?" "Hmm... Being a Nuisance!"
“You annoy me! This all because you bought the last box of lucky charms from the cereal isle at Walmart!”
"Even if a police officer killed someone he was entitled to apprehend, that was also still murder" Oh if only it was like that today
yeah i’m not even gonna lie i got gassed when the judge said that
I know :(
Self defense is murder too but it’s excusable because your own life was in danger. Same for police who have authority to use lethal force when their lives are in danger. It’s always murder but whether they get charged or not depends on if they were justified in using lethal force.
@@TwinsBigLikeTia Does that boot taste good?
Remember this wasn't in the US
Ok but that judge was surprisingly based for a judge way back then. Like damn he made great points

I love how the judge seemed so ahead of his time. He was trying to explain logic and philosophy to a group of jurors who had to deliberate for an hour on if a man who shot a person with the excuse of "but i thought it was a ghost' was guilty or not.
Wait a damn minute 🤔
@@melly1331 I'm waiting. 😳
It's the original setting out with intent to shoot an unarmed man for being a nuisance, that should have made it murder, which the whole group of vigilantes had plans to do. The villagers on the jury approved of their plans to wound the culprit as they thought bullet injury was a fair punishment. They kept going back to the last part when he actually fired his gun thinking it wasn't human because they didn't want to address the real issue of the group's vigilanteism. I'm British and we still have a lot of people who support violent vigilanteism when the justice system is perceived as inadequate.
I mean... There is a thing called mens rea in law, which is considered to be even more important than actus reus. Actus reus is the act of committing the crime, while mens rea is the intention to commit the crime. The shooter never actually had the intention to shoot a human. All the while his intention had been to shoot a spectre. So can it really even be called murder? I feel that manslaughter would have been more appropriate after all.
@Theda Bara What do you mean the JUDGE was a "tad bloodthirsty?" Someone got murdered for wearing a white uniform and you're saying its hard to exonerate the culprit because he felt sorry about it. Honestly I'm mad that the man had only a year of hard labor.
the way Shane’s sitting is like he is an old Victorian mother talking with her best friend and judging the people walk by
THIS MADE ME CACKLE

Shane saying someone on Twitter told him he has coloniser hair, then they cut to his expression - hahahahaha
My dad kept saying to my mom "he keeps watching 2 weird guys talking nonsense" 😂😂😂
Shane's reenactment of punching a ghost was phenomenal.
I love that bit watched that part a lot I couldn't stop laughing
Ryan's british accent was also phenomenal, that whole bit was hilarious

Shane be over here asking if Adam and Eve were ghosts like he wasn’t there when they died.
Bold of you to assume it wasn't Shane who killed them
And that is yet another reason why I wouldn’t be surprised if Buzzfeed Unsolved turned out to just be a real life version of Good Omens.
He was out there temping eve.
Oh my god this comment and replies are golden !
@@Ziaberry bold of you to assume that Shane didn’t give eve the apple
why do I always feel like someone is watching me when I watch any buzzfeed unsolved video? Is that just me?
i feel like that too
@Connor 2Foot Woodard Loll fr
It's just u
It's definitely Ryan lol
I’ve always felt that way when I watch these kinds of videos hahaha
Just a thought - Imagine those people not being a group and totally unrelated, spotting each other on their way down to spook people and fleeing away by just sighting each other XD
its like a murder meeting a killer oh s!it RUN is that...AHHHHHHHHHH BLOODY HELL!!!!
Shane saying, "iPhone. break iPhone." With Ryan completely ignoring him, made me cackle

Ngl I’ve wondered about this too. Way too much, probably
Exactly..
it's called broken heart syndrome. originally used to describe spouses/loved ones that have heart attacks/heart problems after losing someone suddenly but it can effect anyone dealing with acute shock or prolonged severe stress. it's actually thought to happen more often to women.
24:28 “I don’t give a SHEET!”
Shane looks like he's going for victorian professor and hipster librarian lovechild today.
But he's pulling it off!
So the best possible combination ?
Just needs a bubble pipe and a pocket watch 😆
Looks like someone needs to review what Victorian era clothing for men actually was. [I'm talking about you. You are the one needing to review]
The comedy has been on point this season. “You’re wearing a sheet mate?”
BIT STRANGE INNIT?
he's wearin his bed!
@@goghballs8938 I lost it there lol
Shame his British accent is way off
Can I just say that I appreciate Ryan’s speaking voice and annunciation. It’s very nice.
Hearing Ryan jump straight to the theories without saying "That being said" was almost physically jarring
dude went from hunting a ghost to making one
I like to think he burst in yelling "I killed the ghost" and the actual man pretending to be the ghost was just sitting there going "well good on ya-wait a minute, oh no"
Lmao
lol
XD
Ryan: "because we're ☺️ friends 🥰.... right?" Shane: "...😐 right" Ryan: 🤗
I really wanted this season to be longer.
why did it end so quick?
missing the ghoul boyz, they really carried BuzzFeed on their shoulders
Shane saying, “he’s wearin his bed!” is so funny to me
Me too that killed me!

The chemistry between you two and the story telling is just SO good. Well done boys xx
Shane and Ryan’s commentary is the best, hoping they never stop this.
I just got the mental image of them still discussing true crime as 70-year-olds on a porch

Shane: "I do look like I am about to burn some witches" Me: *listening to this while writing in my book of shadows* 👁👄👁
"a pregnant lady died after someone hugged her. Anyway.." we just glossed over that???? was there. no investigation???
1804 detective work? "Detective! We found a pool of the killer's blood in the hallway!" "Hmm, gross. Mop it up."
John Mulaney is love ❤️
I just kind of assumed that she was already known to be pregnant
All of that tight boning in the corsets was difficult enough to tolerate, then throw in pregnancy, and an extreme shock with adrenaline raising the heart rate and the fainting is probably inevitable. Then she laid there in the elements (I forget the time of year) for hours they said. That's a lot to go through when you're circulation is restricted and medical knowledge is basic.
@@melsterifficmama1808 I never write comments but here's the obligatory "corsets weren't death machines that made women faint or shifted their organs, have a good day"
How did the pregnant woman's story get out if she died though?
The baby told it of course
It sounds like she had to be awake for a bit after the people found her if she actually went to bed in a literal sense
She was found by some people and they woke her up and I imagine she explained what happened to her before she went to sleep and died. It'd be pretty weird if she *didn't* explain what happened and just stayed silent for the whole time she was awake.
...hey yeah-
Probably the other townfolk
Literally two nice chairs with blankets on them. Shane and Ryan: ah yes let’s sit on wooden blocks😃
Shane's impersonation of the serial killer who paints with human organs is so funny and so accurate when it comes to serial killers
Guy has a wagon and HORSES: *Proceeds to run away ON FOOT*

Lol. Horses are just thinking "bruh".
*Logic* ✨
He could have just....run over the guy with his horses.
Shane doesn’t have colonizer hair. He has the villagers from the beginning of Shrek (1) kind of hair.
Exactly 💀
Wth is colonizer hair

What’s funny is that Shane is Eastern European so he’s not even a colonizer. 💀

(Ryan making friends) Stranger: Oi! you want a punch in the head!!? Ryan:...What?...No....but...I would like to go to the pub. Stranger:...? Ryan:...I love the pub. Wana go to the pub?

Yep, corpses used to be covered in a white sheet for burial, that's where boo ghosts come from
This whole case starts out like the most basic episode of Scooby Doo.
