Continuity[]

Mystery Inc. are still in their then current What's New, Scooby-Doo? styles.
The interviewer asks the gang to share their thoughts on monsters they met such as:
- Chupacabra from the DTV Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico.
- The Tar Monster from the The Scooby-Doo Show episode The Tar Monster.
- One of the aliens from the DTV Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders.
- Morgan Moonscar from the DTV Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.
Yogi Bear, a fellow Hanna-Barbera character, appears to be a friend of Scooby's. This is a nod to their rivalry in the Laff-a-Lympics TV series.

Notes/trivia[]

Aloha, Scooby-Doo!, the movie that includes this short on its DVD, mistakenly credits Frank Welker for being an interviewer in that film.
When Fred starts talking about a "sixth member of the Scooby gang", Daphne and Velma look worried, Scooby covers his ears, and Shaggy makes a timeout with his hands saying "I thought we weren't supposed to talk about Scrappy", showing the dislike for Scrappy.
Daphne carries a spare pair of glasses for Velma.
It reveals Scooby and Shaggy haven't gained any weight because they go through every door and made their own exercise video.
When Daphne mentions her beauty tips, she mentions they help when being chased by an alligator monster or a mummy that creates dust storms. They're likely a reference to the Ghost of Gator Ghoul and the Mummy of Pharaoh Scamses.
Fred's love of the Mystery Machine seems to border on romance.
Photos of Fred and the Mystery Machine later appear on a wall in Fred and Shaggy's house in the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode A Scooby-Doo Valentine. Shown as Shaggy walks across the living room; the photos include a cropped version of Fred and the Mystery Machine at the car wash and a simplified reproduction of the one of Fred and the van watching the sunset. Another photo displayed in the same room is a cropped copy of a What's New, Scooby-Doo? promo image, showing only Fred.

Miscellaneous[]

Cultural references[]

The short is a parody of Inside the Actors Studio, with the interviewer being a parody of the host, James Lipton.
Sweatin' to the Creepies is a parody of Richard Simmons's Sweating to the Oldies work out videos.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]

When the gang unmasks the interviewer, he still has human hands. But in the very next shot, they are explicitly replaced with green monster hands, with no on-screen explanation on how they changed so quickly.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]

Fred treats Morgan Moonscar as if he was a fake monster, when he was quite real.
