Ghostbusters is a 1984 supernatural comedy film. The movie follows three former parapsychology professors (played by Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Murray; Ernie Hudson joins in a supporting role) who form a ghost-catching business called "Ghostbusters". The Ghostbusters franchise has spawned several films, animated series, and other works.
The Brothers Chaps occasionally reference Ghostbusters — typically recalling the movie when characters are searching for ghosts, or its cartoon adaptation The Real Ghostbusters with regard to in-universe animated shows.
