In Ghostbusters, ghosts are real.

In Scooby Doo, ghosts are actually rich, greedy white men in a costume trying to scare off those meddling kids.

So are the ghosts real or not?

All I know is the kids in the Mystery Machine have good weed.

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago

Ghostbusters are the backup crew in case it's real this time

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Somebody is obviously trying to cover all the bases. That's just good thinking. If ghost are real, they get zapped. If they aren't real, they get to chase a group of adolescents all over the place for about 20 minutes before said adolescents figure out it's not a ghost for the umpteenth time.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unless it's a real person who gets zapped. Then it's manslaughter.

[–] BurningTurtle@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

Just catch the ghost afterwards.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It ain't gonna kill ya to get zapped. I mean not immediately. Radiation sickness and lymphoma can take awhile.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

There are real ghosts in some of the Scooby Doos

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Racist.

You also clearly have very limited experience with Scooby Doo. There's lots of real monsters and ghosts in the series.

What race is being discriminated against here? I'm pretty sure monsters would be a species, not a race.

id watch it. the live action scooby doo was way better than i expected

[–] DessertStorms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

The soundtrack for the first one was a banger, too..

Thanks for the reminder!

If the photo was taken by one "Fox Mulder", yeah, you are done.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I want to believe.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

At least there isn't a black 67 impala.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 2 years ago

To save anyone else the Google: that's the car the main characters of Supernatural drive.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Worse than a usual Scooby Doo case and better than a usual Ghostbusters case

Because it's bad enough that it could be a real ghost, but not so bad that it couldn't just be a guy in a costume

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

Y'all are thinking small

It's both

There's an old person who wants to scare people off for some money making scheme. BUT. They somehow managed to recruit help from beyond the grave

That's why you need both teams.

The 'busters will catch the spooky ghost

Mystery Inc will figure out who summoned it.

[–] Norgur@fedia.io 9 points 2 years ago

That's what happens when Fred smugly tried to pull the hood from the ghost who was supposed to be the gardener or some shit. The fucking hood turned out to be no hood, but a ghost emblazoned with the emblem of Zuul.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Like hey scoob! It's the g-g-g-g... ghostbusters!

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

what is this, a crossover episode?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The person who made those calls thinks they have a ghost, at least they think it's a ghost. Whatever it is, they will finally get to the bottom of it.

[–] jdeath@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

that's just florida

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like the Mystery Machine became a requirement after Venkman exploded too many real estate developers.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Then fred takes the mask of the ecto 1 and says it was old man cribbins the whole time. And the ghosts were just sheets on strings. And the gatekeeper was just elitist goth musicians.

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

It's just good sense to cover your bases by getting both

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

People are reporting ghost sightings. They called in the Ecto-1 if they're real, and the Mystery Machine if they're a hoax.

[–] Marduk73@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Id put just a little bit of money down and say this is near Volo car museum. Not a sure bet because movie cars have copies.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

Or a convention nearby

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

First, the weirdest US presidential debate .... and now this.

What's next? World War III?

[–] DessertStorms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago

What’s next? World War III?

Already in the works.. 😬

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They’re just covering all the bases
