Greetings, sports fans. It's time for a new episode of Laff-A-Lympics. First, our competition begins on the beautiful beaches of Bermuda. Then, we conclude in the exquisite city of Xanthi. For now, join us as the Really Rottens, Scooby Doobies, and Yogi Yahooeys once again compete for today's Laff-A-Lympics Gold Medal. Our first event is the Triple Tugboat Relay. Let's join our on-scene reporters, Mildew and Snagglepuss.

"Thanks, and welcome, even," Snagglepuss said. "We're here at Pitts Bay for the Triple Tugboat Relay. Each team will have three contestants that navigate 1/3 of the course shown on this map."

"Wouldn't you know, that looks like a triangle," Mildew stated.

"What did you expect? A Bermuda trapezoid? Let's meet our trio of teams. For the Yogis, we have Huck Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, and Wally Gator."

"I sure hope we don't get lost at sea in this race," Huck told Snagglepuss.

"Over here, we have Blue Falcon, Captain Caveman, and Babu for the Scoobies," Mildew announced.

"If anyone can solve the enigma that is the Bermuda triangle, it's us," Blue Falcon said.

"And he's not just flapping his gums either," Dynomutt interjected.

Mildew did his best to ignore the comments and said, "Finally, for the Rottens, we have Mumbly, Dread Baron, and Mrs. Creepley. Mumbly, do have anything to say about your strategy for this race?"

Mumbly snickered in reply.

"I don't think anyone could have said that any better."

As the contestants take their positions, we remind everyone that first place earns 25 points. Second place receives 15 points, and third place gets ten. All confirmed cases of cheating will be penalized.

"The contestants are at the starting line—and ready to go, even." Snagglepuss said. At the sound of a loud conch shell, he added, "And there's signal, so get going!"

And the contestants are off. The Yogis get off to the early lead with the Rottens and Scoobies neck and neck close behind.

"Something seems fishy, Snag," Mildew said.

"Maybe it's this chowder I'm eating," Snagglepuss replied.

Mildew shook his head.

As we reach the first exchange point, Huck hound is ready to give way to Quick Draw McGraw.

"The fastest boater in Bermuda," Quick Draw called out as he continued to race for the Yogis.

As Quick Draw gallops—err, sails—along, Mumbly reaches the exchange point with Dread Baron while Blue Falcon finally reaches Captain Caveman.

"Good luck, Captain Caveman. You'll need it to catch up," Blue Falcon told his teammate.

"Ugga … no worries, me catch others," Captain Caveman replied.

As we continue with the second leg of our event, Dread Baron paddles furiously, yet he casually takes over the lead.

"And I'm not even cheating," Dread Baron told the audience.

Behind the Rottens, Quick Draw struggles to stay in second place as Captain Caveman switches to club power.

Captain Caveman stuck his club into the water, where it opened and provided a jet-like boost of power.

As we reach the second interchange, Dread Baron reaches Mrs. Creepley. Will the Really Rottens really win... without cheating.

"Just wait and see, darling," Mrs. Creepley replied.

Behind the Rottens, we have a near dead-heat as Captain Caveman and Quick Draw give way to Babu and Wally.

Mrs. Creepley, who steered leisurely, saw her remaining opponents close the gap. She turned the lever to speed up her tugboat.

As all the teams continue towards the finish line, it's the Rottens with what looks like a sure win. Wally has just taken second for the Yogis. Uh oh. Hey, Wally, watch out.

"Huh, what, what?" Wally asked.

Before anyone else could say anything or react, Wally's tugboat slammed into a guide buoy.

"I have a sinking feeling that I won't be winning," Wally mumbled.

With the Yogis out of the running, the Rottens win easily with the Scoobies taking second.

The Rottens cheered loudly. Their rare success, without their usual trickery and cheating, seemed impressive. In addition, the Scoobies gathered around Babu and congratulated him for his finish.

"Aww shucks, everyone, it wasn't that bad—it was rather fun—and I didn't even have to say 'yapple dapple.'"

Babu looked on as his tugboat shrank to two inches [5.1 cm] tall.

"Oh well. At least I can use it as a toy in my swimming pool."

"Snag, did the Rottens really win fair and square?" Mildew asked.

"I'm afraid so, Mildew. They had good sportsmanship even," Snagglepuss replied.

Elsewhere, Mumbly growled and barked.

"Easy, Mumbly. Don't get your snout in a lather," Dread Baron stated. "We need to get some wins to move out of last place. And when that doesn't work, then we can cheat."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Mumbly replied before he snickered.

Let's review the scoreboard after our first event. The Rottens have the early lead with 25 points. The Scoobies trail close behind with 15, and the Yogis are in third with 10 points. Let's check in with Mildew, who is set t tell us about the next event.


"I'm here at a beach in the capital city of Hamilton for our next event: three-way beach volleyball," Mildew stated.

A number of the local citizens cheered along with all three teams.

"The game starts with all three teams. The first team to score a point gets first place, and the next team to score gets second place. You don't have to be an ace or kill someone in this event."

Snagglepuss shook his head. "Leave the puns to the professionals, Mildew," he said. Turning towards the unusual volleyball court set up for three teams, he added, "For the Yogis, we have Hokey Wolf, Doggie Daddy, and Grape Ape."

"Don't you think a 40 foot ape playing volleyball is too much of an advantage?"

"That remains to be seen, Mildew. For the Scoobies, we have Shaggy, Hong Kong Phooey, and that dynamic teen angel, Dee Dee Sykes."

The Scoobies cheered on their teammates loudly.

"Finally, for the Rottens, we have Mr. Creepley, Dinky Dalton, and Orful Octopus."

"And as our guest judge, we have that spectacular shark, Jabberjaw," Mildew said.

"Alright, everyone, on the whistle, the ball's in play," Jabberjaw stated before he blew his whistle.

Mr. Creepley served the ball across the nets. Hong Kong Phooey received the serve and passed it to Dee Dee. She then set the ball for Shaggy to hit it over the net. Unfortunately, Grape Ape blocked the kill attempt back into the Scoobies' court.

Jabberjaw blew his whistle and signaled the result of the play before saying, "The Yogis get the first point. They will vacate their portion of the court so the Rottens and the Scoobies can battle it out for second place."

After the Yogis left the court, Jabberjaw blew his whistle to signal for service. This time, Orful used a powerful jump serve to hit the ball over the net.

Dee Dee made a perfect reception and tapped the ball over to Shaggy. Shaggy tried to hit the ball over the net, but Dinky Dalton blocked it back over the net. Hong Kong dove to keep the ball from hitting the floor and barely succeeded. This time, Dee Dee tried to hit the ball over on the second hit and somehow managed to avoid Dinky's outstretched hands.

Mr. Creepley successfully dug the ball, tapping it over to Orful. Orful, not wanting to be called for a double hit, used one tentacle to hit the ball up to Dinky. Dinky hit the ball so hard, it hit Hong Kong on top of his head and ricocheted straight up in the air before landing out of bounds.

"The ball went out off the Scoobies. The Rottens get the point, and that's the game," Jabberjaw said, blowing his whistle one last time.

Let's review the scoreboard. The Yogis, thanks to Grape Ape's great block, get 25 points and move up to 35. The Rottens, with Dinky's dazzling performance, get 15 points in the volleyball match and now have the lead with 40 overall. Although Hong Kong tried to use his head, the Scoobies finished third with their 10 points giving them 25.

"That's the end of our competition here in Bermuda. If we don't get lost, we'll see you for the second half our of competition in the great country of Greece," Mildew said.

"We will, indeed. Come join us in Xanthi for some exhilarating events," Snagglepuss replied.


Welcome back for the second half of our All-Star Laff-A-Lympics. The fans are ecstatic in Xanthi as we prepare for the unicycle race and the rocky rapids rafting. With no further ado, let's rejoin Snagglepuss and Mildew.

"We're here in downtown Xanthi for their carnival, and our contestants will participate in a unicycle race," Mildew said.

All the spectators and the competitors cheered loudly.

"For the Yogis, we have Boo Boo Bear."

"I sure hope I can do this. If I fall, I'll have quite a few boo boos," Boo Boo replied.

"And over here, Scooby Dum will race for the Scoobies."

"Race? I thought you said, 'hamburger place,'" Scooby Dum said.

"We're definitely in trouble, folks. For the Rottens, we have Junior Creepley."

"Thanks, Moldy. This is going to be fun," Junior told everyone.

At the sound of a bouzouki playing, Snagglepuss said, "That's the signal, so go ride you way to the finish line, and don't fall even!"

Boo Boo makes a bearable effort to start the race in the lead. Scooby Dum somehow has second place, and Junior Creepley is close behind but in third.

Boo Boo looked behind him to see both opponents slowly closing in on him. Thankfully, the course was short and he was near the midpoint.

"I can't bear all the pressure," he said.

As Boo Boo makes the turn Scooby Dum pulls away into second and appears to be challenging Boo Boo for first place.

"That's it, Scooby Dum, that's using your noodle!" Shaggy called out.

"Noodles, where?" Scooby Dum asked.

Scooby Dum, watch out for that...

With a loud crash, Scooby Dum crashed into a vendor's yogurt cart.

Scooby Dum slurped some yogurt off his face. "That's not noodles!" he said in disgust.

As we approach the finish line, Junior Creepley's unicycle tips over and falls. It's... it's... it's too close to call.

"Don't worry, we have the instant automatic slow-motion replay to help us out. Let's review the tape, even," Snagglepuss said.

Right, as we review the tape, we see the Rottens' unicycle fall forward, but it doesn't cross the finish line until after Boo Boo cycles over. The Yogis get the win!

The rest of the Yogis cheered loudly. This gave them two wins in a row so far.

"Don't worry, Junior. You did better than I did," Mr. Creepley told his son.

"Shucks, dad. I wish we would have cheated. Maybe I would have won."

"Too bad we need all the points we can get."

"Isn't that a touching father-son moment?" Mildew asked. "I bet they go for ice cream later. Let's check the scoreboard."

The Yogis get 25 points to move to 60. The Rottens earned 15 points with their excellent effort and have 55 points overall. The Scoobies get 10 points to improve to 35 so far.

"We're right where we want them. This is how we won last time," Shaggy said.

"Brack!" the Magic Rabbit said as he stuck out his tongue.


"We're here at the Kosynthos River for our final rafting event. The judges have informed us that because of the rough rapids, the winners will receive a 25 point bonus—that's 50 points, even," Snagglepuss announced.

After a round of cheers, Snagglepuss added, "Let's meet our brave contestants. For the Yogis, we have Snooper and Blabber. Next, we have Speed Buggy and Tinker for the Scoobies. Finally, we have the Great Fondoo and his rabbit representing the Really Rottens."

"The course may be short, but the rocks will make it a tough course to traverse. May the best man—err, team—win," Mildew said. "I keep forgetting about those silly savages," he muttered under his breath.

At the sound of a horn, Snagglepuss said, "There's the signal, good luck with those rapids, just don't be too slow."

And the starting gate releases our boaters, and down the river they go. Entering the rocks, the Rottens have the early lead with the Yogis and Scoobies neck and neck.

"C'mon, Blab, keep us steady through these rocks," Snooper told his partner.

"You got it, Snoop," Blabber replied.

Alongside them, the Scoobies prepared for the rocks.

"Well, golly, Speedy. These are some big rocks. I hope they don't take out your oil pan."

"Me too," Speed Buggy sputtered. Tinker had put skis on his tires to help him navigate the river.

As we reach the checkpoint, the Rottens have pulled away as they enter the rockiest portion of the course while the Scoobies hold a slight lead on the Yogis.

"Watch this, Magic Rabbit, I should get rid of those rocks in a jiffy," Fondo said. He gestured and chanted, "Abracadabra, abraca-docks. Help us win by moving these rocks."

After a puff of smoke, most of the rocks from the Kosynthos magically moved inside of the Rottens' boat.

"Brack!" the Magic Rabbit in disgust.

"For once, I agree with you, rabbit. Abandon ship!"

With the Rottens' effort sinking them out of contention, we're down to the Scoobies and the Yogis.

"Let's go, Speedy, we're almost there," Tinker said.

After sputtering and catching his breath, Speed Buggy replied, "OK, Tink,"

Thanks to Fondoo's magic, the Yogis had a clear path to the finish line.

"Alright, Blab, just keep us going straight and we have an easy win," Snooper said.

"You got it," Blabber answered.

As the Yogis reach the finish line, the Scoobies make one last effort to challenge... but it's not quite enough, the Yogis win as the Scoobies finish a headlight behind in second.

Yogi and the rest of his teammates cheered their teammates' victory. Alongside them, the Scoobies applauded for their second place finish. Elsewhere, the Rottens rained catcalls on everyone.

"Alright you savages, that's enough. Let's check the final scores," Mildew stated.

Thanks, Mildew. The Yogis' win gives them 50 points and first place yet again with 110 points. The Scoobies get 15 points for 50. And, the Rottens get ten points for last place and hold onto second place with 65 points.

"We need to rethink our strategy, Dread," Daisy Mayhem said.

At the podium, Yakky Doodle, Orful Octopus, and Dynomutt accepted their teams' gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively.

"Well, Mildew, another day of crazy competition is over," Snagglepuss said.

"Thank, goodness. I'm not used to all this around the world travel," Mildew replied.

"Well, there's no rest for the weary as we have another action-packed day of entertaining events planned for you next time."

"I hope it's someplace with a napping contest. I could win that easily right now."

"Sleep on that thought, Mildew, as we see you all next time. Good bye, and bon voyage, even."
