Delivery of creepy old Crazy Karl,
the ventriloquist dummy to ventriloquist competion...
Check.
Great work, gang. Let's go get breakfast.
[both whimper]
-All yours. -Thanks, kids.
Got this under control. Nothing to be scared about. It's just a dummy.
Like, Scoob, I wish he hadn't said that. He's just asking for it.
Yeah. Poor fella.
[engine starts]
[glass breaking]
[evil laughter]
Wah!
[Crazy Karl] I've got no strings. [running footsteps]
Hello?
-[Crazy Karl] Hello? -[startled cry]
"Hello" is what you say when you're facing the day.
"Goodbye" is what you say when they carry you away.
[laughing sinisterly]
-[screaming] -Come here, new friend.

[Daphne]Jeepers! It's Jeff Dunham and Darci Lynne Farmer!
Oh, ho, ho, Crazy Karl, he's alive!
It was so scary.
[siren wailing]
Like, dude, that is always what happens
when anyone says there's nothing to be scared of.
Humans are silly.
Why are we back here? This is where we delivered that creepy dummy.
Yeah, bad idea.
We just wanted to check in with the man who hired us to deliver the dummy.
The creator and promoter of this charity event, Mr. Baz Bozzington.
-What do you want? -[all shrieking]
Oh, sorry, it's you mystery solvers.
Heard my name and I was sure it was yet another problem.
But, you guys are all right in my book.
Best puppet-delivery work I've seen since Japan.
You did your job,
and that's one less problem for me.
You got a lot more where that came from.
Problems, that is. You got a big one.
Jeepers, I can't believe it's world-famous ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham,
and rising star ventriloquist, Darci Lynne Farmer.
Wha-what about me? I hate being left out. My name's Petunia. I'm shy.
Oh, right. You're really shy.
I am! Well, except when I'm singing.

Can we leave now?
I am not sharing the stage with some evil possessed dummy.
-Walter. -Is that what scared that poor security guard?
No way. Evil-possessed dummies aren't real.
Well, the legend is that the Crazy Karl dummy
was once owned by the most evil ventriloquist that ever lived...
-Hmm? -No, Walter, not me.
Apparently, this guy was so evil that on his deathbed,
he pushed his dark soul into the dummy.
And it's been in there ever since, causing chaos and mayhem.
But, nobody really believes that.
-We believe it. -Yeah, we do. We believe it.
We can't just leave, Walter.
We promised to be judges at this ventriloquist competition.
It's true. Jeff Dunham and Darci Lynne Farmer have
both graciously donated their time and ventriloquist skills as judges
at my charity competition.
I've managed to assemble great prizes.
A painting of the famous sad clown of Kalamazoo,
a beloved hat and monocle,
and maybe the strangest dummy of all times, Crazy Karl.
But, you guys are well acquainted with that bloke.
With all your experience, I'm sure that you know there's nothing to be afraid of.
-There they go again. -They never learn.
Wow, Shaggy, that is some first-rate ventriloquism.
How do you make Scooby talk? It's really impressive.
Like, I don't ventriloquilize him.
Yeah, I'm a real talking dog.
Wow, amazing.
He's really good.
[Petunia sighs]
Petunia, what's wrong?
I've been thinking about that poor security guard.
He looked really scared.
Probably saw a picture of my wife.
[laughs] Get it?
Yeah, we get it, Walter.
But, something is definitely going on.
We'd all feel better if you mystery solving teens stayed around.
We'd be happy to help.
Oh, I wouldn't want to be a bother.
We love creepy doll-based mysteries.
Okay, then. Let me show you around.
Like, Mr. Scooby-Doo, let's find the food table.
[giggles]Apres vous.
[both giggling]
Zoinks.
[continues giggling]
Read my lips, Scoob. Let's chowa-monga.
Words I always understand.
[Crazy Karl] It's a veritable smorgasbord.
Like, I know, right, Scoob?
It's definitely a giggle-worthy feast.
I didn't giggle.
Hmm. But, if you didn't giggle...
[evil laughter]
That's right, kiddies. I bet you can guess it's true.
I'm the one who's right behind you.
[evil laugh]
Boo!
Ahh! Crazy Karl.
[whimpering]
Naughty, naughty. It's not nice to play with your food.
But how about if it plays with you?
Nice to eat ya.
Oh, I see someone's been to charm school.
Boo again!
[evil laugh]
So you see, there's plenty of security precautions and...
[Shaggy and Scooby whimpering]
Crazy dummy Karl.
Crazy Karl attacked us at the food table,
and we had to throw food at it and run away.
Wait, Shaggy, what? I have no idea what Scooby just said.
You were way better two minutes ago.
Yeah, sorry. You were much better before.
Have you tried practicing in front of a mirror?
Like, dudes, I am not throwing my voice into Scooby-Doo.
Crazy dummy!
[growling]
[drilling]
I sure hope Scooby-Doo isn't like that with all dummies and puppets.
Buried him.
Um, don't worry, Mr. Bozzington,
we'll dig it up, and clean it right off.
[groans]
Ha!
-Don't worry, guys. -Yeah, it's just a bloodsucking talent agent.
That's been hounding us to sign with him.
Thought you could escape me, huh?
I will get you both to sign with me, and you know why?
Because I am willing to destroy both your careers to do it.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
It makes perfect sense.
With no careers, you'll have to sign with me.
You'll see. You'll pay with your livelihoods.
[laughs]
Hmm, well, he's certainly suspicious.
Come on, everyone. The ventriloquist competition is tomorrow.
Let me get you checked in for the night.
[sign buzzing]
[thunder crashing]
[groans]
Thanks. Spared no expense.
Everybody's got their own rooms.
[thunder crashing]
[snoring]
-[evil chuckle] -Huh?
[grunts inquisitively]
[teeth chattering]
Shaggy.
-What? -Crazy dummy.
-Huh? -Scoob, there's nothing...
Huh, it is gone.
[Crazy Karl] Roses are red, violets are blue, abracadabra...
It's lights out for you! [laughs]
[evil laughter]
[both whimpering]
What's the matter?
Scared of the dark?
You know why?
Because you should be.
I said boo!
[screaming]
[evil laughter]
[both whimpering]
[patriotic music playing on TV]
[both screaming]
[chuckles] Sorry, guys, couldn't resist.
I have this remote control for Walter. I love playing pranks on room service.
Walter really freaks them out.
[chuckles] Yeah. The looks on their faces are a lot like you two knuckleheads.
-It's not that... -Creepy dummy.
Right next door.
[screaming]
Petunia's gone. Somebody must've stolen her.
We have to find her.
Thanks for coming with me, you guys. I'm really scared.
Yeah, me too.
I'm like totally scared.
I'm a little nervous, too.
Please. You big chickens.
Nothing scares me. I've seen it all.
[door creaking]
[all screaming]
See? Didn't scare me one bit.
[chuckles] Chickens. [makes clucking sounds]
Just when I thought this place couldn't get any creepier.
-Scared now? -Nope.
Nothing scares me. Have you seen my wife?
-[sniggers] -Walter, you're repeating yourself.
[Walter] Oh. Whatever.
[muffled voice throwing yells]
The footprints end here.
Oh, Petunia. Thank heavens you were in there.
Or you would've been throwing your voice for nothing.
I know, right? That would've been embarrassing.
Embarrassing? You're not the one that has been locked inside a chest.
Petunia, who did this to you?
Was it Walter?
What? Like, Walter has both motive and opportunity.
-No, it was us. -[all screaming]
We did it. My son and I collect dolls.
[grunts] Dolls.
Of course you do.
Oh, he's a cute one.
Maybe the cutest of them all.
He can stay... Forever!
Holy moly. Okay, now I'm scared.
Son, grab the dummy.
[all] Me?
She means me, you bunch of dummies.

Run, everybody, run!

Hurray!
♪ We've been saved We've been saved We've been saved ♪
Wow, thanks, Mr. Bozzington.
Okay, then.
You know, this mystery is really starting to come together.
[Petunia] The ventriloquist competition's the thing,
wherein we'll catch the conscience of the king.
You're going in for Shakespeare now?
Every good diva should know a little Shakespeare.
Petunia's right. Oh, I can't believe I just said that.
But, from what I've learned,
the competition is the perfect place to expose who's really behind this.
We're pretty sure it's Walter.
Yeah, Walter.
Wait, you think I'm the criminal?
I'm a dummy, you dummies.
-That's right. -The perfect cover.
You think I'm puppeting a puppet,
who's puppeting a puppet?
-Exactly. -The perfect crime.
I got sawdust between my ears,
but I still have more going on in here than you two.
-Jig's up, Walter. -We're taking you in.
Wow, Shaggy, that's really good.
Now you're getting it.
You guys will make perfect dummy bait.
Like, dudes, we are trying to tell you!
It's okay, Shaggy. Some people just don't get me.
[audience clapping]
It gives me great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen,
to start this charity event,
the First Annual Baz Bozzington Ventriloquist Competition
featuring our esteemed judges,
Jeff Dunham and Darci Lynne Farmer.
[audience clapping]
First up, for our esteemed judges is
Simone and her clown friend, Sparky.
[audience clapping]
Say Sparky, whatcha been doing all day, huh?
Oh, just clownin' around. [laughs]
[audience clapping]
I really like how you've deconstructed your act
with the clown speaking in your voice and you in his.
What? I was doing it wrong again?
[groaning]
So frustrated!
What is this, vaudeville?
Well, wasn't that great? All right, next up,
Little Sally and her talking fruit.
Say, guys. Know any good jokes?
-Knock-knock. -Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange ya glad he didn't say bana?
Wait. I don't get it.
[solo applause]
He's not the only one.
Okay. Let's just move this along.
Um, up next, a man and his talking monkey.
[applause]
[audience member coughing]
Um... Does your monkey talk?
Gee, I don't know. Do you talk?
[screaming, grunting]
Now it's getting good.
[Jeff and Darci] Walter.
[man groaning]
Oh no, this isn't going so well.
Oh boy. Like, man, I'm really hungry.
Me too.
You monsters! What've you done to my babies?
I'm okay. No big deal. [laughs]
[Scooby] Yeah, Mommy, I like being eaten. I'm delicious.
No!
There you are. We've gotta get you two ready for the trap. Come on!
[evil chuckle]
Next up, the comedy stylings of Shaggy Rogers
and his talking best friend, Scooby-Doo.
[audience clapping]
[both whimpering]
Like, dude, this is so scary.
What do we do, Shaggy?
[audience laughing]
Hey, check out this guy.
Hey, Scoob, this just might work. Follow my lead.
Like, Scooby-Doo, say your name.
-"Your name." -[audience laughing]
No, Scoob, I mean, say your name, Scooby.
"Your name, Scooby."
Scooby.
Shaggy, say your name.
"Your name Shaggy."
[audience laughing]
Shaggy. Shaggy and Scooby.
Like, dude, they think we're really funny.
Yeah. [chuckles] Maybe they've never seen a talking dog before.
[Crazy Karl] And they never will again.
Because your act is over before it began!
[evil laugh] It's curtains for you. Final curtains.
[both grunting]
[both Shaggy and Scooby groaning]
Oh, wonderful, he's so good. Oh, he's so hysterical.
Evil dummy. Evil dummy. Evil dummy.
[punching]
That guy's so good.
Wow, Shaggy, you can throw your voice while running.
That's amazing.
Seriously?
I don't like dummies.
[sinister mocking]
It's working.
-Now, kid. -Now.
[audience gasping]
Let's finish this.
[grunts]
Help. Help! I've been framed. I have an alibi. I'm too young for the wood pile.
We did it.
Now let's see who's really behind this evil, possessed ventriloquist dummy.
-[audience gasp] -[all] Baz Bozzington!
[audience applauding]
[man] That guy's so good.
But why?
It's all quite simple, really.
It all started making sense when I saw Jeff Dunham's remote control for Walter.
So, I hacked into a cell phone tower
and found two remote control signals operating.
-Someone was controlling Crazy Karl. -[beeping]
I did a little research on Baz after he mentioned having worked in Japan,
and found him as part of a famous Bunraku puppet troupe.
He did it all. He puppeted the Crazy Karl dummy via remote,
as well as puppeting it right in front of our eyes
while wearing his all-black kuroko clothing.
He couldn't let that old lady and her son at the motel
get their hands on either Walter or Petunia.
He desperately needed the competition to continue.
And we would've paid good money for those dummies.
You see, we're starting our very own doll museum.
Dollies.
-[audience laughing] -Wow. I'd love to sign the both of you
for a great new reality TV show about doll collecting.
I love ventriloquism.
You see, I've always wanted to be in a competion,
but could never make the cut.
So I created my own competion.
And I knew that if I could impress
the likes of Jeff Dunham and Darci Lynne Farmer,
I'd prove to the world I did have what it takes.
Oh, and I would have gotten away with it, too,
if it weren't for you meddling kids.
But, you did get away with it.
Your ability to throw your voice
during this entire crazy mystery was really impressive.
-Yeah, we both loved your act. -I didn't.
-What? Me? -You deserve this trophy.
Oh. This... This is the happiest day of my life.
-Gimme that, it's mine. -[audience clapping]
You like me. You really, really like me.
Take 'em away, boys.
[Baz] Oh, no.
I love a happy ending.
And Shaggy, you get second place for making Scooby talk like that.
You do know that Scooby-Doo is a real talking dog?
I am. I really am a talking dog. A real talking dog.
[Darci's voice] I like talking. Ruh-roh.
-Ruh-roh. I'm a talking dog. -[audience laughing]
[audience laughing]
[Jeff's voice] Oh, look at me. I'm a real talking dog.
I love Scooby snack, Scooby Scooby snacks, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
