Toonfomercial: Dexter's crushing on someone else's girlfriend? (2002)

Back in the day, before Cartoon Network degenerated into the channel it is now, it was common for them to make commercials like this next item.

Dexter (Christine Cavanagh) is finished "after a hard day at work", and asks on-screen nemesis Mandark (Eddie Deezen) if he wants to do something, but Mandark has a date. Enter Velma, voiced in this case, I think, by BJ Ward before Mindy Cohn took over the role in What's New Scooby-Doo that fall........



This actually continues a gimmick CN had where Johnny Bravo (Jeff Bennett) was crushing on Velma himself, to the point where apparently they were dating, and this was 5 years after the Mystery Inc. team guest-starred on Johnny Bravo. Unfortunately, they still haven't made a sequel to that episode nearly 20 years later......
