Cast
Continuity
- Scooby and Shaggy's were revealed to be nicknames of Scoobert and Norville in the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo episodes The Sludge Monster from the Earth's Core and Curse of the Collar, respectively.
Notes/trivia
- Velma announces the celebrity guest in the title card.
- Just like the Speed Bugs being specifically named in the The New Scooby-Doo Movies, the Funky Phantom Crew are also specifically named in this series.
- Mystery Inc. had already met the Funky Phantom Crew in DC Comics' Scooby-Doo story Big House Brouhaha.
- Tom Kenny previously voiced another incarnation of Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore in the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode Mystery Solvers Club State Finals.
- Perhaps to mock the fact that Hanna-Barbera created the Funky Phantom as "clones" of Mystery Inc., they are extremely arrogant thinking that they are the superior mystery solvers.
- Apparently, this has been said by some fans to be the least liked episode of Season 1.
Miscellaneous
Cultural references
- The title is an allusion to the real-world Abraham Lincoln's House Divided Speech on June 16, 1858.
- Muddlemore refers to the Burr-Hamilton duel.
- Having fictional Abraham Lincoln promoted as the celebrity guest, hides the real guest star attraction, that this is a crossover with the cast of The Funky Phantom.
- The cast of Hanna-Barbera's Speed Buggy also make cameos.
- When Fred suggests that they "head 'em off at the pass", Daphne replies with "I hate that cliché!" Slim Pickens and Harvey Korman had the same exchange in the 1974 Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- None known.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- Even though this is supposed to be a continuation of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Shaggy & Scooby are in hysterics at the idea of Speed Buggy being a talking car, despite having had an entire case together in the aforementioned series episode The Weird Winds of Winona.
Quotes
Fred: We've got a van, with "Mystery Machine" painted right on the side. |
Ghost of Abraham Lincoln: A mystery solving team divided shall not stand. It breaks my heart to see such skirmishing. |
Fred: Since when does a ghost drive a tractor? |
Jebb: And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids--um--er--ten of you! |
