* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The villain in episode 7. Not only did The Phantom have the foresight to sabotage Fred's trap, when Shaggy and Scooby attempt their typical escape via ScoobyDoobyDoors, he simply ''sets fire'' to the van they're in.
** Episode 17 dealt with Fred and the villain out matching the other, both having encyclopedic knowledge of traps and their workings.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Ala ''Zombie Island'' and ''Witch's Ghost''. It's definitely not cynical, but the universe as a whole is a little less idealistic, and the jokes, characters and events are more mature with some monsters intent on actually ''killing'' the gang. This perhaps explains Shaggy's [[LovableCoward behavior]]. The kids are also less goody-two-shoes than they used to be. A lot of the villains are more violent, aside from the aforementioned bus incident.
** In episode 17, the villain becomes fed up with Mystery Inc. both beating his traps, and believing that they are trying to steal from him, tries to stab them repeatedly with a fire poker. In addition the traps he placed them in would have been fatal, if not for Fred's genre savvy.
** In episode 24, the villain shoots at them repeatedly and openly threatens to kill them, marking one of the few times the word "kill" has been used in the franchise.
** [[spoiler: And now in episode 25, we find out there's a monster known as the Freak of Crystal Cove that has caused the mess and states that he will end everything. Angel states that they had to leave or else the Freak would harm/kill their friends and family. Oh and the Monster of the Week destroyed the Mystery Machine[[note]]Actually a replica of the Machine[[/note]] in front of Mystery Inc.!]]
** [[spoiler: How about the season finale? Mayor Jones took Fred away from his real parents and was the Freak of Crystal Cove, Pericles has two of the disc pieces and the gang is being split up!]]
** The monster of the Season 2 premiere acts more like a domestic terrorist, driving around town randomly blowing up buildings and neighborhoods, and at one point demanding a ransom from city hall to get him to stop.
** Episode 37 features a decomposed corpse, and two kids casually talking about being how they were abandoned by their parents, sometimes even for weeks on end.
** [[spoiler: Episode 41 features a ghost/re-animated corpse of Friar Gabrielo Serra raising from the grave to warn the children of Nibiru. In his story it shows the town of Crystal Cove being destroyed, and sinking into the sea. Furthermore he says that his pet Porto, was responsible showing him planting dynamite all around the town, and ultimately met his fate when he was dragged away by alligators, the second part is not shown on screen however.]]
** The Season 2 episode "Heart of Evil" features classic Hanna-Barbera superhero the Blue Falcon. This version, however, looks and acts like he got bitten by a radioactive FrankMiller (his bulk closely resembles a certain hero in a certain [[TheDarkKnightReturns acclaimed graphic novel]]). Dyno-Mutt still the same, though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Velma, in spades, Shaggy on occasion, and, remarkably enough, ''Scooby'' in some very memorable moments.
* DeconReconSwitch: The show points out how a team of mystery solving teenagers [[{{Deconstruction}} are likely to have obvious dysfunction in their personalities and roles, as well as how life-threatening their profession is]], [[{{Reconstruction}} but at the same time showcases that they are willing to get better about these problems and move forward, and that they're effective in their profession]].
* DespiteThePlan: Averted every few episodes where Fred's traps actually work. Lampshaded in episode 9.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Velma's mother has this moment after she just bursts into her daughter's room:
--> '''Velma's Mother''': "Good thing I have this spare key so I can search your room when you're not home. ({{Beat}}) Oops, did I just say that out loud?"
* DisabilityImmunity: In "Where Walks Aphrodite", Angel Dynamite is immune to Aphrodite's pheremone attack because she suffers from anosmia (i.e. she has no sense of smell).
* DoesNotLikeMen: Marcy (aka Hot Dog Water) seems to take it as a sign of weakness to need help from a man.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: The female vampire MonsterOfTheWeek in episode 11.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** Fred's magazine "Traps Illustrated" has a woman in a bikini on the cover. His reaction to Daphne finding it is similar to someone hiding porn. It's a reference to ''Sports Illustrated'' with its famous swimsuit issues, though Fred's [[IReadItForTheArticles "I read it for the articles"]] invokes ''Playboy''.
** In episode 7, the Hex Girl's manager used to be the manager of a singer called Fancy Pants. After he was dropped by his old label, the manager mentions that Pants "went down the rabbit hole". Consider for a moment what that's slang for, and what some rock stars get involved with when their career hits a rocky patch...
** In episode 8 Shaggy and Scooby watching the Renaissance Fair announcer who says he hates pirates secretly dresses up like one. It's made to seem like watching him dress up in women's clothing. Even Scooby says his "brain needs a shower".
** Episode 25: Hatecraft's novel about Char Gar Gothikon is supposedly [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles a major hit in Japan]]...
** For a non-sexual one let's go back to episode 21 with Angel and Velma. [[spoiler: Angel tells Velma to keep the identity of her as Cassidy Williams a secret.]] Now compare that to the first 10 episodes with Velma's relationship with Shaggy. We all know that keeping secrets never leads to anything good. [[spoiler: Specifically because the gang is broken up and Daphne has blamed Velma for causing this for keeping Angel's identity a secret.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: For a season finale no less! The Mayor was the freak who caused all of the mess in the first place, Pericles has 2 of the 6 Planespheric Map pieces, the gang is broken up, and Fred is off on his own to find his real parents. Here's hoping to Scooby fulfilling his promise to get the gang back...]]
** [[spoiler:And the second season premiere, if you can believe it, ends on ''another'', nearly as grim a downer ending where TheBadGuyWins, Fred's confidence is destroyed and Daphne refuses to come back to mystery solving.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 37. Cassidy, from all indications, did not survive the detonation of the undersea city while trying to free the submarine's tail. Plus, Professor Pericles has made off with the sixth piece of the Planispheric Disc, giving him three pieces and the gang three pieces.]]
*** [[spoiler: [[WordOfGod Tony Cervone]] confirms on Twitter that Cassidy did not survive.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect:
** The gang's attempts at solving crimes are not met with enthusiasm. ''{{Justified|Trope}}'', in that curtailing the crimes would lessen the town's revenue stream. [[ShapedLikeItself It's their stream of revenue!]]
** You'd think that after being saved from an EldritchAbomination, even a faux Eldritch Abomination, would make the [[HarlanEllison rescued party]] grateful enough to spare you a lecture on proper grammar.
** The MotiveRant for "Lord Infernicus" in "Mystery Solver State Finals".
* EarlyBirdCameo: Skipper appears in episode 3. In the next episode, he's a prime suspect.
** Mr. Chen, as well as his cafe, are introduced in episode 15. They are featured in a more prominent role three episodes later.
** Hot Dog Water made a brief appearance in episode 16 when Velma recognizes her in class affected by Aphrodite. She then makes another cameo in episode 18. Episode 21 had her be an employee [[spoiler: and attacker]] of the amusement park that the manticore attacks. [[spoiler: She then went on to get a major role in the second season.]]
** There is also Ernesto and his group of environmentalists. They first appear in episode 12. They appear again in episode 20 [[spoiler: as the Fish Freaks]].
** This is possibly the case with the [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Quest Team]], who were first seen [[spoiler: in the Obliteratrix's confession flashback]]. Season 2 was announced as having them in an episode.
* EarthquakesCauseFissures: The cold open in Episode 17 starts off with this during a flashback, swallowing a mansion up underneath it. An earthquake appeared at the end of the episode, but it's not stated what happens after that.
* EldritchAbomination: Char Gar Gothicon, monster of "The Shrieking Madness".
* ElegantGothicLolita: The Hex Girls' new look for the series.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first episode had the gang talk to their parents to show off certain quirks of theirs, such as Fred's obsession with traps and Velma's sardonic attitude.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: In "Nightfright", Vincent Van Ghoul starts the laughter at the end of the episode with an EvilLaugh and everyone else joins in.
** Scooby, the gang, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt at the end of episode 40.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: One of the background characters is a classmate known as "That weird girl, Hot Dog Water." In an episode 18 flashback, she says she's gluten intolerant.
** [[spoiler: Hot Dog Water returns in season 2, filling in for Daphne's spot. It has been noted that Velma will allude that she and HDW possibly had a "relationship."]]
** [[spoiler: She reveals her real name in episode 28. It's Marcy.]]
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: The Bjorkland girls in episode 33.
* EvilCounterpart: Professor Pericles to Scooby Doo.
* EvilTwin: The Fright Hound in episode 10, to Scooby.
* EvilVersusEvil: Professor Pericles vs. Mr. E. vs. [[spoiler: Mayor Jones.]]
** Not as of seasons 2, seeing as [[spoiler: Mayor Jones is in prison and E and Pericles have teamed up.]]
* {{Expy}}:
** Design-wise, Alice May is a blatant one for [[Franchise/{{Spider-Man}} Gwen Stacy]]: same hairstyle, hairband, and green-striped clothes.
** Gus, or "G-man" from episode 7 is basically the eccentric Ronnie "Z-man" Barzell from [[BeyondTheValleyOfTheDolls a certain creepy schlock film]]. That may make him a case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, actually. In addition to looking exactly like Z-man, he talks with his faux-British accent and mannerisms, as well as being a record producer with a taste for alt bands.
** Jason Wyatt from episode 10. What with being a nerd, having great scientific know-how, and adores/admires Velma... It's "What's New Scooby Doo?"'s new form of Velma-stalker Gibby Norton!
** Ernesto from Episode 20 is a die-hard environmental protestor. He is also CheGuevara, even down to his ''first name''.
** Dr. Rick Spartan is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of and stand-in for DocSavage, [[Literature/KingSolomonsMines Allan Quatermain]] and IndianaJones.
** Episode 30: [[spoiler: Chareline is a cartooned version of Paula Deen. The fantasy game Shaggy and Sheriff Stone referred to, ''Crypts and Creatures'', is a stand-in for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons.]]
** Angel Dynamite is pretty much Scooby Doo's version of [[Film/AustinPowers Foxy Cleopatra]].
** Episode 40: Blue Falcon is turned into a CaptainErsatz of FrankMiller's Batman. Velma even lampshades the dubious need of a vigilante.
** Scooby Snacks looks like a different color scheme for a box of Cheez-Its.
* FaceHeelTurn: Former members of mystery solving teams have a habit of becoming enemies to the next generation. Professor Pericles, and Mr. E to the current Mystery Inc, just as Danny Darrow became one to the original Mystery Inc.
** Considering that it happened to the original Mystery Inc crew, it may end up happening to Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Averted in episode 10. Not that it does the guards any good against the Fright Hound, a robot who is ImmuneToBullets.
* FanDisservice: Episode 24, when Night Ranger takes his shirt off to use a bale of hay for a punching bag (ItMakesSenseInContext). Daphne pretty much speaks for the viewers when she asks "why did he have to take his shirt off?"
* FantasticRacism: Hilariously played with the Wild Brood. Everyone treats them suspiciously, but this is due to the fact that they are [[BadassBiker a motorcycle gang]] and not because [[OurOrcsAreDifferent they are Orcs]]. [[spoiler:However, when they take off their masks to reveal that they are video game developers and geeks, Sheriff Stone suffers a full-on panic attack and asks them to put their masks back on.]]
* FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore: The Hodag appears as a MonsterOfTheWeek in Season 2.
* FetchQuest: Dramatically subverted in episode 16. [[spoiler: Sure Scooby does get the stuff he needs to save the gang, but Pericles also gets what HE wants and played Scooby like a piano.]]
* FlamingSkulls: Lord Infernicus.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A fair amount so far, much of it related to hinting at the mysterious history of Crystal Cove and the identity of Mr. E.
** First, we have the locket from episode 1. Members of the original Mystery Inc. had them and it was considered their symbol. [[spoiler: It was Judy's locket and the picture inside are actually Fred's real Parents, which explains Mayor Jones' expression when he saw it!]]
*** Also take a good note at what Velma states about Crystal Cove's early history: it was found by Spanish Conquistadors. [[spoiler: Guess what's important about them about 24 episodes later!]]
** Then there's the newspaper clipping in episode 4. Part of it was cut off and Angel seems as if she knows something. [[spoiler: She does, because the part cut off showed her when she was still known as Cassidy Williams.]]
** Episode 6 shows someone [[spoiler: getting Alice May to escape from jail. Said man is actually Ed Machine, the head of Destroido, who has relationships to Mr. E]]
** Episode 10 has Professor Pericles spouting out that the gang has to keep an eye on those close to them; especially Fred. [[spoiler: In episode 21, the Mayor is looking for something and Mr. E comments that Fred is getting in the way of saving the remaining members of Mystery Inc. Plus in episode 23, Pericles states that the Mayor stole something important from him, but said Mayor is in denial.]]
*** [[spoiler: Mayor has a good reason; he made a deal with Pericles who would betray his gang. Then he betrayed Pericles and stole the disk piece. Then Pericles stole it back at the 26th episode and now Mayor Jones is going to be arrested.]]
** Episode 12 has the Darrow Family Trunk filled with secret documents. [[spoiler: Episode 17 lead them to meet up with Danny Darrow and episode 25 finally told them what they were looking for.]]
** Episode 16 has Pericles and Scooby teaming up and gathering items for an antidote. One of the places was at the old Spanish Church [[spoiler: which holds the entrance to where the Haunted Treasure resides!]]
** Here's another one: "I guess we're not a team anymore." [[spoiler: Velma, you don't know what you caused.]]
** A minor one. In the cold opening flashback of episode 17, Danny Darrow as a little boy is wearing a white beard as his Halloween costume.
*** Speaking of Danny Darrow, he nicknames Fred as Big Chin Man [[spoiler: because he's really seeing Fred as the original Mystery Inc; member Brad Chiles, who happens to ''be'' Fred's father!]]
** In episode 2 the lights that light up the letters of the The Drowsy Gator's sign flicker in such a way to read "The dog dies!", a simple little scene to scare Scooby. [[spoiler:In episode 41 the mummy of Friar Sera, a member of a previous Mystery Inc. group hailed for saving Crytal Cove from an earthquake along with the group's donkey Porto, tells the group the real story. That Porto in fact had been corrupted by a piece of the Planispheric Disk and destroyed Crystal Cove. In every group the animal member has been the one to be corrupted and betray everyone leading Friar Sera to declare "Heed the warning of the aligators! The dog dies!" while pointing at Scooby.]]
* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler: The tension between Angel and the gang probably could've been avoided if either Angel or Velma explained about Angel's real identity sooner.]]
* ForbiddenFruit[=/=]GRatedDrug: Chocolate to Daphne.
* ForkliftFu: Scooby uses a forklift to take on the robotic fright hound in "Howl of the Fright Hound".
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The gang appropriately [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience match their own color schemes]]. Daphne is Sanguine (Red Hair) as she is the most optimistic and cheerful of the group, Velma is Choleric (Yellow Sweater), she exhibits leadership when solving the mystery but is rather pushy, and a rather violent Tsundere at her worst. Shaggy is Phlegmatic (Green Shirt) is the Non Action Guy who runs away from anything spooky, and is only there to react to the situations. Fred is Melancholic as he is obessessive (when it comes to traps) and emotionally high strung (when Daphne is in danger). He wears... white, rather than black, kinda crashes that color coded bit. Scooby fits into Supine (Blue Collar), as he is rather non-confrontational.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Sheriff Stone's pad during the first gnome victim's interview.
** The complete recipe for "Countess Hagula's Youth Juice" from ''The Secret Serum'' is readable in freeze-frame.
** Count Evallo's rejected work permit in episode 33.
* FriendVersusLover:
** Velma vs Scooby over Shaggy. At first it seemed that Shaggy was using Scooby as a scapegoat to hide his fears of commitment, but it turned out his fear of telling Scooby was pretty well founded.
** Also, Fred and Daphne.
---> '''Fred:''' Oh what the heck, going to the prom with a friend will be more fun than with a date anyway. Right?\\
'''Daphne:''' *sigh* I'll take what I can get.
** The Fred and Daphne thing has been averted as of episode 24. [[spoiler: Fred has proposed to Daphne and the two plan to marry once they get to college.]]
*** Not anymore! [[spoiler: Thanks to Mayor Jones' actions, he took Fred away from his real parents and now Fred is a) going to go search for them, b) broke up the engagement and c) broke up Mystery Inc.]]
** Shaggy and Velma. Shaggy dumped Velma in favor of Scooby, then had a change of heart and wanted to try the romance thing with Velma again. She responded at first, but decided they should stay "just friends"... later revealing that she is still hurting over being dumped for Scooby, and apparently afraid if she took Shaggy back he'd do it to her again.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Scooby is harassed by an angry squirrel in the first episode, while the rest of the gang are talking to Prof. Raffalow.
** "Scarebear" has Scooby and Shaggy be chased by a mutant owl while Daphne and Fred hit on each other.
* TheGenericGuy: Deliberately avoided. Even Fred, the [[RenamedTropes former Trope Namer]] himself, is given a much more developed personality than ever before.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[Radar/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated Enough examples for its own page.]]
* GenerationXerox: Their have been many versions of Mystery Inc., each having four people and a mascot, each having some variation on the name Mystery incorporated. In some case their are even a close resemblance between the group members.
** More directly the Fred inherited his parents trap obsession; and Angel when she was younger, was nerdy, wore glasses and was in love with owner of the mascot, Ricky Owens, which obviously mirrors Velma.
* GottaCatchEmAll: The six pieces of the Planespheric Disk. [[spoiler: As of the season 1 finale, Pericles has nabbed off with two of them. The other four pieces should be snapped up in season two as producer Mitch Watson has noted on his Facebook page that the series will only go 52 episodes.]]
** [[spoiler: As of episode 31, Scooby and the gang have pieces three and four. Professor Pericles calls a powwow in regards to this.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 34 has the gang possessing piece no. 5 now.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 37 has Professor Pericles with piece no. 6.]]
** [[spoiler: In episode 39, the good guys now have all six pieces, having retrieved the other three from Mr. E's lair thanks to a ScoobyDooHoax [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome the gang themselves set up.]]]]
* GrowlingGut: A RunningGag with Daphne in episode 19.
* HandsGoDown: "Can anybody tell me what photosynthesis is? ... And PLEASE don't say plant farts."
** Subverted in episode 36. [[spoiler: In the Burlington mansion, the gang wants to get some sleep but Velma wants to check out the library. "Who can sleep with all those books?" She asks. The others raise their hands.]]
* HannibalLecture: The gang gets one in "Howl of the Fright Hound", from a prisoner in [[spoiler:the city's Animal Asylum: Professor Pericles, the mascot-pet--of the original Mystery Inc]]!
* HellHotel: The one place to stay overnight in Gatorburg invokes this. [[spoiler: Deliberately, as it's the home of a group of counterfeit gator-skin product scammers]].
* HeroicBSOD: This happens to Fred after Daphne is kidnapped by the crab monster and when a teacher has supposedly died (see FauxDeath). [[spoiler: Fred gets a serious case of this in Chapter 26.]]
** [[spoiler: Scooby and Fred are paralyzed in disbelief when they see Shaggy and Daphne kissing in episode 36 (they were both under a dream hypnosis). Velma snaps Scooby and Fred out of it by telling them they were only dreaming.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Shaggy and Scooby, played mostly straight but also hilariously subverted. On chapter 9, with the FriendVersusLover between Scooby and Velma, Scooby used phrases like ''"You are cheating on me!"'' or ''"I gave him the best years of my life"''.
* HistoryRepeats: [[spoiler:Any group of mystery solving teenagers will eventually become attached to the Mystery of Crystal Cove, the Planespheric Disk, and Nibiru.]]
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: Please Scooby, after all that has happened in episode 26, you better bring the gang back together to stop Pericles!]]
** [[spoiler: 3 episodes later, it happens]]
* HotDad: Daphne's dad, too.
* HotMom: Daphne's mom - which makes sense, considering her daughters form an ImprobablyFemaleCast all by themselves.
* AHouseDivided: Episode 11 has Velma say "I guess we're not a team any more."
** In Episode 26 [[spoiler: Fred and Daphne develop a resentment toward Velma for keeping Cassidy's/Angel's secret. Fred also breaks off his engagement with Daphne to look for his real parents, Shaggy's parents plan to send him off to military school and Scooby to a farm, and the girls are grounded.]]
* HyperspaceArsenal: Episode 25 has Shaggy [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the fact that Obliteratrix's costume has no pockets so where are all her weapons coming from?
** {{Justified|Trope}}: [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Dr. Quest]] [[AWizardDidIt did it]]. No, really - she stole tech from Quest Labs.
** Episode 17 dealt with Fred and the villain out matching the other, both having encyclopedic knowledge of traps and their workings.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Ala ''Zombie Island'' and ''Witch's Ghost''. It's definitely not cynical, but the universe as a whole is a little less idealistic, and the jokes, characters and events are more mature with some monsters intent on actually ''killing'' the gang. This perhaps explains Shaggy's [[LovableCoward behavior]]. The kids are also less goody-two-shoes than they used to be. A lot of the villains are more violent, aside from the aforementioned bus incident.
** In episode 17, the villain becomes fed up with Mystery Inc. both beating his traps, and believing that they are trying to steal from him, tries to stab them repeatedly with a fire poker. In addition the traps he placed them in would have been fatal, if not for Fred's genre savvy.
** In episode 24, the villain shoots at them repeatedly and openly threatens to kill them, marking one of the few times the word "kill" has been used in the franchise.
** [[spoiler: And now in episode 25, we find out there's a monster known as the Freak of Crystal Cove that has caused the mess and states that he will end everything. Angel states that they had to leave or else the Freak would harm/kill their friends and family. Oh and the Monster of the Week destroyed the Mystery Machine[[note]]Actually a replica of the Machine[[/note]] in front of Mystery Inc.!]]
** [[spoiler: How about the season finale? Mayor Jones took Fred away from his real parents and was the Freak of Crystal Cove, Pericles has two of the disc pieces and the gang is being split up!]]
** The monster of the Season 2 premiere acts more like a domestic terrorist, driving around town randomly blowing up buildings and neighborhoods, and at one point demanding a ransom from city hall to get him to stop.
** Episode 37 features a decomposed corpse, and two kids casually talking about being how they were abandoned by their parents, sometimes even for weeks on end.
** [[spoiler: Episode 41 features a ghost/re-animated corpse of Friar Gabrielo Serra raising from the grave to warn the children of Nibiru. In his story it shows the town of Crystal Cove being destroyed, and sinking into the sea. Furthermore he says that his pet Porto, was responsible showing him planting dynamite all around the town, and ultimately met his fate when he was dragged away by alligators, the second part is not shown on screen however.]]
** The Season 2 episode "Heart of Evil" features classic Hanna-Barbera superhero the Blue Falcon. This version, however, looks and acts like he got bitten by a radioactive FrankMiller (his bulk closely resembles a certain hero in a certain [[TheDarkKnightReturns acclaimed graphic novel]]). Dyno-Mutt still the same, though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Velma, in spades, Shaggy on occasion, and, remarkably enough, ''Scooby'' in some very memorable moments.
* DeconReconSwitch: The show points out how a team of mystery solving teenagers [[{{Deconstruction}} are likely to have obvious dysfunction in their personalities and roles, as well as how life-threatening their profession is]], [[{{Reconstruction}} but at the same time showcases that they are willing to get better about these problems and move forward, and that they're effective in their profession]].
* DespiteThePlan: Averted every few episodes where Fred's traps actually work. Lampshaded in episode 9.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Velma's mother has this moment after she just bursts into her daughter's room:
--> '''Velma's Mother''': "Good thing I have this spare key so I can search your room when you're not home. ({{Beat}}) Oops, did I just say that out loud?"
* DisabilityImmunity: In "Where Walks Aphrodite", Angel Dynamite is immune to Aphrodite's pheremone attack because she suffers from anosmia (i.e. she has no sense of smell).
* DoesNotLikeMen: Marcy (aka Hot Dog Water) seems to take it as a sign of weakness to need help from a man.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: The female vampire MonsterOfTheWeek in episode 11.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** Fred's magazine "Traps Illustrated" has a woman in a bikini on the cover. His reaction to Daphne finding it is similar to someone hiding porn. It's a reference to ''Sports Illustrated'' with its famous swimsuit issues, though Fred's [[IReadItForTheArticles "I read it for the articles"]] invokes ''Playboy''.
** In episode 7, the Hex Girl's manager used to be the manager of a singer called Fancy Pants. After he was dropped by his old label, the manager mentions that Pants "went down the rabbit hole". Consider for a moment what that's slang for, and what some rock stars get involved with when their career hits a rocky patch...
** In episode 8 Shaggy and Scooby watching the Renaissance Fair announcer who says he hates pirates secretly dresses up like one. It's made to seem like watching him dress up in women's clothing. Even Scooby says his "brain needs a shower".
** Episode 25: Hatecraft's novel about Char Gar Gothikon is supposedly [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles a major hit in Japan]]...
** For a non-sexual one let's go back to episode 21 with Angel and Velma. [[spoiler: Angel tells Velma to keep the identity of her as Cassidy Williams a secret.]] Now compare that to the first 10 episodes with Velma's relationship with Shaggy. We all know that keeping secrets never leads to anything good. [[spoiler: Specifically because the gang is broken up and Daphne has blamed Velma for causing this for keeping Angel's identity a secret.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: For a season finale no less! The Mayor was the freak who caused all of the mess in the first place, Pericles has 2 of the 6 Planespheric Map pieces, the gang is broken up, and Fred is off on his own to find his real parents. Here's hoping to Scooby fulfilling his promise to get the gang back...]]
** [[spoiler:And the second season premiere, if you can believe it, ends on ''another'', nearly as grim a downer ending where TheBadGuyWins, Fred's confidence is destroyed and Daphne refuses to come back to mystery solving.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 37. Cassidy, from all indications, did not survive the detonation of the undersea city while trying to free the submarine's tail. Plus, Professor Pericles has made off with the sixth piece of the Planispheric Disc, giving him three pieces and the gang three pieces.]]
*** [[spoiler: [[WordOfGod Tony Cervone]] confirms on Twitter that Cassidy did not survive.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect:
** The gang's attempts at solving crimes are not met with enthusiasm. ''{{Justified|Trope}}'', in that curtailing the crimes would lessen the town's revenue stream. [[ShapedLikeItself It's their stream of revenue!]]
** You'd think that after being saved from an EldritchAbomination, even a faux Eldritch Abomination, would make the [[HarlanEllison rescued party]] grateful enough to spare you a lecture on proper grammar.
** The MotiveRant for "Lord Infernicus" in "Mystery Solver State Finals".
* EarlyBirdCameo: Skipper appears in episode 3. In the next episode, he's a prime suspect.
** Mr. Chen, as well as his cafe, are introduced in episode 15. They are featured in a more prominent role three episodes later.
** Hot Dog Water made a brief appearance in episode 16 when Velma recognizes her in class affected by Aphrodite. She then makes another cameo in episode 18. Episode 21 had her be an employee [[spoiler: and attacker]] of the amusement park that the manticore attacks. [[spoiler: She then went on to get a major role in the second season.]]
** There is also Ernesto and his group of environmentalists. They first appear in episode 12. They appear again in episode 20 [[spoiler: as the Fish Freaks]].
** This is possibly the case with the [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Quest Team]], who were first seen [[spoiler: in the Obliteratrix's confession flashback]]. Season 2 was announced as having them in an episode.
* EarthquakesCauseFissures: The cold open in Episode 17 starts off with this during a flashback, swallowing a mansion up underneath it. An earthquake appeared at the end of the episode, but it's not stated what happens after that.
* EldritchAbomination: Char Gar Gothicon, monster of "The Shrieking Madness".
* ElegantGothicLolita: The Hex Girls' new look for the series.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first episode had the gang talk to their parents to show off certain quirks of theirs, such as Fred's obsession with traps and Velma's sardonic attitude.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: In "Nightfright", Vincent Van Ghoul starts the laughter at the end of the episode with an EvilLaugh and everyone else joins in.
** Scooby, the gang, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt at the end of episode 40.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: One of the background characters is a classmate known as "That weird girl, Hot Dog Water." In an episode 18 flashback, she says she's gluten intolerant.
** [[spoiler: Hot Dog Water returns in season 2, filling in for Daphne's spot. It has been noted that Velma will allude that she and HDW possibly had a "relationship."]]
** [[spoiler: She reveals her real name in episode 28. It's Marcy.]]
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: The Bjorkland girls in episode 33.
* EvilCounterpart: Professor Pericles to Scooby Doo.
* EvilTwin: The Fright Hound in episode 10, to Scooby.
* EvilVersusEvil: Professor Pericles vs. Mr. E. vs. [[spoiler: Mayor Jones.]]
** Not as of seasons 2, seeing as [[spoiler: Mayor Jones is in prison and E and Pericles have teamed up.]]
* {{Expy}}:
** Design-wise, Alice May is a blatant one for [[Franchise/{{Spider-Man}} Gwen Stacy]]: same hairstyle, hairband, and green-striped clothes.
** Gus, or "G-man" from episode 7 is basically the eccentric Ronnie "Z-man" Barzell from [[BeyondTheValleyOfTheDolls a certain creepy schlock film]]. That may make him a case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, actually. In addition to looking exactly like Z-man, he talks with his faux-British accent and mannerisms, as well as being a record producer with a taste for alt bands.
** Jason Wyatt from episode 10. What with being a nerd, having great scientific know-how, and adores/admires Velma... It's "What's New Scooby Doo?"'s new form of Velma-stalker Gibby Norton!
** Ernesto from Episode 20 is a die-hard environmental protestor. He is also CheGuevara, even down to his ''first name''.
** Dr. Rick Spartan is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of and stand-in for DocSavage, [[Literature/KingSolomonsMines Allan Quatermain]] and IndianaJones.
** Episode 30: [[spoiler: Chareline is a cartooned version of Paula Deen. The fantasy game Shaggy and Sheriff Stone referred to, ''Crypts and Creatures'', is a stand-in for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons.]]
** Angel Dynamite is pretty much Scooby Doo's version of [[Film/AustinPowers Foxy Cleopatra]].
** Episode 40: Blue Falcon is turned into a CaptainErsatz of FrankMiller's Batman. Velma even lampshades the dubious need of a vigilante.
** Scooby Snacks looks like a different color scheme for a box of Cheez-Its.
* FaceHeelTurn: Former members of mystery solving teams have a habit of becoming enemies to the next generation. Professor Pericles, and Mr. E to the current Mystery Inc, just as Danny Darrow became one to the original Mystery Inc.
** Considering that it happened to the original Mystery Inc crew, it may end up happening to Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Averted in episode 10. Not that it does the guards any good against the Fright Hound, a robot who is ImmuneToBullets.
* FanDisservice: Episode 24, when Night Ranger takes his shirt off to use a bale of hay for a punching bag (ItMakesSenseInContext). Daphne pretty much speaks for the viewers when she asks "why did he have to take his shirt off?"
* FantasticRacism: Hilariously played with the Wild Brood. Everyone treats them suspiciously, but this is due to the fact that they are [[BadassBiker a motorcycle gang]] and not because [[OurOrcsAreDifferent they are Orcs]]. [[spoiler:However, when they take off their masks to reveal that they are video game developers and geeks, Sheriff Stone suffers a full-on panic attack and asks them to put their masks back on.]]
* FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore: The Hodag appears as a MonsterOfTheWeek in Season 2.
* FetchQuest: Dramatically subverted in episode 16. [[spoiler: Sure Scooby does get the stuff he needs to save the gang, but Pericles also gets what HE wants and played Scooby like a piano.]]
* FlamingSkulls: Lord Infernicus.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A fair amount so far, much of it related to hinting at the mysterious history of Crystal Cove and the identity of Mr. E.

* HotMom: Daphne's mom - which makes sense, considering her daughters form an ImprobablyFemaleCast all by themselves.
* AHouseDivided: Episode 11 has Velma say "I guess we're not a team any more."
** In Episode 26 [[spoiler: Fred and Daphne develop a resentment toward Velma for keeping Cassidy's/Angel's secret. Fred also breaks off his engagement with Daphne to look for his real parents, Shaggy's parents plan to send him off to military school and Scooby to a farm, and the girls are grounded.]]
* HyperspaceArsenal: Episode 25 has Shaggy [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the fact that Obliteratrix's costume has no pockets so where are all her weapons coming from?
** {{Justified|Trope}}: [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Dr. Quest]] [[AWizardDidIt did it]]. No, really - she stole tech from Quest Labs.
