The Critter Getters are an obvious parody of the Ghostbusters.
This is the first appeareance of the Critter Getters.
They missed the biggest clue: As they left the office of Mr. Leonard, he yells 'Good luck with catching that giant snail.' The gang never mentioned the snail at all.
Velma: Jinkies! We can use my other new invention to find out for sure.
(Velma walks up to Scooby, who is too scared to get off of a chandelier) Velma: Jinkies! Don't worry Scooby. I'll use my Transporter Ray.
There are a lot refernces to the Real Ghostbusters in this episode. But since the Slimer & the Real Ghostbusters shorts idea was obviously aimed at the Pup Named Scooby Doo generation I guess they're even.
In all of the other episodes, Velma says "Jinkies" every time she finds a clue or gets an idea. In this episode, Velma says "Jinkies" too often (she says "Jinkies" every time she speaks at some points in this episode) Also, Velma's voice sounds a little different in this episode than in the previous episodes.
