Shaggy and Scooby arm themselves with a broom and a trash can lid so they can beat the shit out of the mummy if they run into it. Unsurprisingly, the professor has turned to stone by the time they’ve returned. It’s pretty common to have him pull double duty in a lot of these episodes, and it’s just funny that his choice for all these minor parts is “what if Shaggy had a baritone.”Īs they leave, the chef despairs over Scooby and Shaggy’s dietary choices.

(☹) Shaggy tries to pay for them with the ancient Egyptian coin and is immediately busted for counterfeiting and sentenced to life in prison. Meanwhile at the malt shop, Scooby and Shaggy are getting liverwurst sandwiches a la mode. The moment they leave, the professor hears a crash and sees a mummy-sized hole in the wall when he investigates. What kind of help he needs in the middle of the night is left unspecified.

He peaces out after that, pretty unconcerned with the dire warning he just gave. He tells the professor about the curse of Anka which turns everyone who disturbed the resting place to stone. Najib’s voice sounds like rusty gravel scraping across a chalkboard. Najib, a visiting archaeologist who provided the mummy. In response, Shaggy says he doesn’t look a day over 2,000.
