* The ghost has apparently been out of it for so long that he's forgotten a few of the basics of human life. While crossing the street, he actually stops and squints at something bright... namely, the oncoming headlights of an 18-wheeler. He promptly gets creamed by it once he realizes what's barreling down at him, complete with a classic {{Take}} reaction--it's one of the very few times in the series that the iconic head-bob actually stops cold.

* Before the van crashes, there's a cut to Lance inside Kingsmen Mechanics, asleep with a book over his face. ''When'' the van crashes, he falls off his chair, and there's a {{beat}} before he pops back up with an angry look on his face, book now sitting on his hair.

* Vivi's reaction to discovering the mansion they just entered is haunted is pure joy accompanyed with stars in her eyes while Mystery and Arthur look appropriately horrified.
* We get plenty of references to the Franchise/ScoobyDoo franchise, including a ScoobyDoobyDoors sequence. We also get a sequence where Vivi and Mystery each have (in the middle of a creepy mansion they were just running through) {{Dagwood Sandwich}}es. Mystery's sandwich is so tall it's practically out of the frame!
** And when they start running from the approaching Lewis, the ghost just runs straight through the sandwiches. There's something hilarious about an angry, dangerous ghost with cheese in his hair and two sausages hanging out of his eye sockets.
* Only funny if you think that Arthur knows that Lewis is a ghost, but the fact that he doesn't freak out when a skeleton walks out of a coffin, and then ''does'' freak out when the ghost suddenly sprouts a bright pink pompadour.
** Also, the fact you can talk about Mystery Skulls and say "The ghost suddenly sprouts a bright pink pompadour" completely in context and a straight face.

* Arthur's startled reaction when he notices Mystery in the front seat next to him.
* When Arthur puts on the gas to get away from Lewis, Viv starts to wake up, only to get knocked out by a bat falling on her head.
* Shiromori getting run over by the ghostly truck. Her expression is a visible ThisIsGonnaSuck, made even better by Lewis's puzzled expression afterwards. Despite being in a murderous rage, he breaks the mood long enough to look at his ghosts as if to ask them if they hit something. The eager, bloodthirsty Deadbeat is startled into silence, while the sadder, regretful Deadbeat looks out the window at the hapless Shiromori like a curious child.

* In a post on Mystery Ben's blog regarding Rooster, he reveals that the chicken under his hat was supposed to be a ''logo'' of a chicken ''on'' his hat, but the animator doing the scene misinterpreted it as an actual live chicken. The rest of the team [[ThrowItIn decided to roll with it]] and made it an actual character.
