In popular culture

  • In the Baby Looney Tunes episode "The Wheel Deal," when the kids are trying to build a new bike for Tweety, it resembles the Mystery Machine, which is accompanied by a jingle of the What's New, Scooby-Doo? theme song, but a dissatisfied Bugs says, "I'm about to give up the ghost here."
