Allusions:

  • This segment is a parody of Laff-A-Lympics and Munich. The subsequent operation to eliminate the perpetrators was a parody of Operation Wrath of God, a real-life mission by the Israeli government to kill various individuals believed to be affiliated with both Munich and Black September.

Trivia / Info:

  • The scene in which Dread Baron is overlooking a balcony is an exact parody of the picture taken during the Munich massacre in which a member of the terrorist group, Black September was overlooking the balcony of the Israeli team quarters.
    • The newsreel featuring Snagglepuss that follows is a parody of the real-life new reel of the murders, with Snag saying "they're all gone, even".
  • The players killed (Yogi, Boo-Boo, Doggie Daddy, Huckleberry Hound, Wally Gator, and Quick Draw McGraw) are members of the Yogi Yahooeys, one of the three teams in Laff-A-Lympics (the others are the The Really Rottens and the Scooby Doobies).
  • Matthew Lillard reprises his role as Shaggy from A Scooby Friday, as well as the live-action movies.
  • The Great Fondoo's dialogue references the fact that many of the members of the Really Rottens were original characters created for the cartoon, but bear resemblance to other Hanna-Barbera characters (mostly good guys). Dread Baron and Mumbly (originally a good guy) were originally meant to be Dick Dastardly and Muttley; however, Hanna-Barbera couldn't use those characters as they were co-owned by the now-defunct production company Heatter-Quigley Productions.
  • The telephone operator's lines we're recycled from The Emperor's Phone Call sketch.

Goofs / Nitpicks:

  • Scrappy never appeared in the Laff-A-Lympics. This was because he was created AFTER the Laff-A-Lympics.
  • The Really Rottens actually did manage to win the Laff-A-Lympics in a few episodes by pure luck (without any successful cheats), so the Dread Baron's statement that they always lose was in fact wrong, though it is likely the writers just assumed that they always lost because they were the villains.
  • Scooby is missing his license, though its possible its tucked into his jersey.
  • The sandwich Yogi is holding disappears when he runs to stop the Really Rottens. He may have quickly eaten it.
  • Huckleberry never wore his hat in the Laff-A-Lympics, though for his hat being present here might be that its intact to the action figure.
  • Dinky had three fingers in this segment, despite having four in his cartoon counterpart.
