Wacky Races - Season 1 - Eps 13: The Zippy Mississippi Race
The Wacky Races gang competes in The Zippy Mississippi Race, a wild river race filled with gators, whirlpools, and outrageous antics. As racers like Miss Magnolia, The Gator Brothers, and Professor Paddle speed down the river, the scheming Dastardly Duke tries every dirty trick to take the lead. Boats get stuck in trees, hovercrafts malfunction, and gumbo geysers cause chaos, but in an unexpected twist, Lazy Louie drifts across the finish line first—completely unaware he was even racing. While the others fume over their losses, Dastardly Duke ends up foiled by his own tricks once again.

Synopsis
Wacky Races is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera that originally aired in 1968. The show is a parody of traditional car races, featuring a variety of eccentric characters and their outlandish vehicles, all racing across different terrains in a madcap competition for first place. The series is centered around a group of 11 racers, each with their own unique vehicle and distinct personality. The main characters include Dick Dastardly and his dog Muttley, who are always trying to cheat and sabotage the other competitors, although they never succeed. Other notable racers include Penelope Pitstop, the glamorous but tough driver; the adventurous Red Max; and the lovable duo, the Slag Brothers, who drive a massive, rock-like car.
