Line #9 YMMV/TheFunkyPhantom


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song. Simple and Catchy.
2	* GrowingTheBeard: As mentioned the last two episodes of the series do have an odd change from beyond the run of the mill plot. While there is still a ScoobyDooHoax it is put on the back burner inside of the bigger story. The one has Mudsy and the kids going to Mudsy's ancestral home to find the mayor (a descendant of a family the Muddlemores have a feud with) wants to tear it down. The ghost haunting the house is not really the prominent part of the story. The latter has the kids go to where Mudsy himself lives and shows how Mudsy had been fleeing from red coats burying treasure when he got locked in the clock and eventually died. Modern day thieves don ghost costumes and try to lure him into revealing the treasure's locations. Both of these storylines provide an example of them trying to add a bit more depth to Mudsy's history and are a bit more than the usual "unmask the guy"-ending the series had before hand.
3	* HilariousInHindsight: One episode featured a dognapper referred to as "The Hairy Scary Houndman," a man wearing a full-body dog costume and often acting like a dog. In a way, he feels a lot like a precursor to the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom, except for the dognapping aspect.
4	* OneTrueThreesome: Skip and Augie both display flirtation for April, who plays back with both of them. This is notably different from how antagonistically a potential triangle on Josie and the Pussycats was where Alan and Josie were clearly a couple with Alexandra the AbhorrentAdmirer. Throughout the show April has asked them to make up their mind which one is doing her serenading and that it was too nice a day to fight over her attention. Even funnier in one episode April accepts a ride from a character of the week and Skip and Augie are unified in getting their girl back. In another April gets jealous when Skip and Augie gravitate together towards a female character of the week.
5	* {{Shipping}}: This Hanna Barbera series had a little more than subtext to be dealt with. Mostly leading to a OneTrueThreesome idea.
6	** Namely speaking, right from the offset the show appears to go for a LoveTriangle between the three teens but ends up leaving a lot to be imagined. Importantly Augie and Skip both tend to fight for April's attention but more in terms of banter and jokes. April generally seems to reciprocate both. It also generally seems the three still enjoy their travels together and aren't directly trying to get rid of one another like say Alexandra was to Josie.
7	** In "Don't Fool With a Phantom" at the end Skip and Augie argue over who's going to sit in back with April. April offers the compromise, they both will and then in "I'll Haunt You Later", when the guys have a disagreement over who will sing, April's response is to ask "which one of you is going to serenade me?"
8	** In "The Headless Horseman" both Skip and Augie gravitate to another female love interest together, stirring April to get jealous she lost both her boys and in "April's Foolish Day", April returns the favor accepting to be the navigator to another racer. Augie and Skip don't really bicker as much as they just want their girl back.
9	** Although, their appearance in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndGuessWho'' complicates Shipping matters immensely, as Skip's [[HeadbuttingHeroes arguments]] with Velma have been seen as BelligerentSexualTension by some fans.
