Added DiffLines:

* CordonBleughChef: Redbeard forces Scooby and Shaggy to work for his crew as chefs, and they whip up a dish of "ghost pirate stew," consisting of chains, cobwebs, stove ashes, and soap. When they present it, Redbeard refuses to eat it and forces the duo to down two bowls instead.


Added DiffLines:

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] When the gang discovers a secret cave guarded by a voice-activated password, Fred and Velma try using traditional pirate phrases ("Sixteen men on a pirate's chest" and "Yo ho ho, blow the man down") to get in, but fail. Shaggy then chimes in with "Yum yum yum and a liverwurst a la mode"--which works, presumably because Redbeard believed no one would be able to guess such a ludicrous password.


Added DiffLines:

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Redbeard uses "Yum yum yum and a liverwurst a la mode" as the password to protect his hidden cache of stolen goods. Despite the odd nature of the code, Shaggy is able to figure it out.

A newspaper article about a series of thefts from ships owned by the Magnus shipping company sends the gang to the high seas to track down ghost pirate Redbeard.
!! This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Scooby is able to handle dry ice without gloves without hurting himself.
* TheButlerDidIt: The Scooby gang has to chase a ghost pirate. Their employer, Mr. Magnus, has a big, creepy-looking butler who is an obstacle into going to see him. At the end of the episode, when the pirate is unmasked, Shaggy is surprised:
-->'''Shaggy''': Like, I thought the butler always did it!
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: The gang has to come up with a convoluted plan just to ''talk'' with someone that may need their help. Like the good Samaritans they are.
* GoneHorriblyRight: The gang goes out on a speedboat and use a recorded foghorn to pose as the freighter that Redbeard's ghost is after. Their plan works all too well, and Redbeard's ship rams their speedboat and splits it clean in two.
-->'''Velma''': [[LampshadeHanging Our plan worked too well]]. It's going to ram us!
* ICantLookGesture: Velma and Daphne shut their eyes (Fred covers his) to avoid seeing Shaggy and Scooby crashing into a pile of tires.
* InsuranceFraud: The villain (the owner of a shipping line) turns out to have been running an insurance scam. He would dress as Redbeard the Pirate and raid his own ships, both to sell the stolen cargo and collect the insurance money.
* RoomDisservice: The gang poses as room service to get into Mr. Magnus' penthouse.
* TickleTorture: Shaggy uses an eggbeater to tickle Redbeard when he tries to stop him and Scooby.
* VoiceChangeling: In an attempt to fool Redbeard's henchmen, Shaggy dons a paper pirate hat and does a "super Shaggy imitation" of Redbeard's voice, sounding ''very'' close to the actual Redbeard's voice, despite the [[ScaryShadowFakeout shadow he casts looking nothing like Redbeard]]. A close ear also reveals that Creator/CaseyKasem (Shaggy's voice actor) actually supplied the Redbeard imitation, while the actual Redbeard was voiced by Creator/JohnStephenson.
