History ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated / TropesDToH

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Before the Mystery Inc the show focuses on, there were several previous groups of four with one animal that solved mysteries together. [[spoiler: [[BiggerBad Nibiru's]] influence led to most of them being driven to evil, always starting with the TeamPet.]]

** The Blue Falcon has gone from [[Series/{{Batman}} Adam West]] to [[TheDarkKnightReturns Frank Miller]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: EVERYONE. When the Nibiru entity is destroyed it retroactively erased its influence from time. Fred's parents are not psychotic and are dual obstetricians, Daphne's parents are highly supportive of her and her plans to marry Fred, Velma is best friends with Marcie, Shaggy's an award winning chef, Fred Jones Sr. is Crystal Cove high's coach and considers Fred to be like the son he never had, Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles are married and have four kids, and Ricky Owens runs an environmentally friendly corporation alongside his wife Cassidy, with Professor Pericles as their sponsor. No one has been corrupted or gone crazy and Crystal Cove is not a haven for masked psychos. At first this seems subverted for the Gang as they're left with no place in Crystal Cove, as mystery solvers have no place...then they get a call and realize the ''world'' has mysteries aplenty, paint up Fred's van as the Mystery Machine and head out to solve them.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Daphne has a strange habit of walking around in her underwear and wearing bikinis and other {{Stripperiffic}}. One can assume one of the writers is fulfilling some deep seated PerverseSexualLust for the character.

** [[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.]]

** 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.

** Dr. Rick Spartan is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of and stand-in for Franchise/DocSavage, [[Literature/KingSolomonsMines Allan Quatermain]] and IndianaJones.

** [[spoiler:BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: The only problem in killing the entity is that completly ''changes the history as the gang know it''! See BittersweetEnding entry.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: An early episode has Ed Machine mistakenly voiced by [[spoiler: Louis Black]], giving the impression that Machine is actually [[spoiler: Mr. E]].

** 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.

** Ernesto from Episode 20 is a die-hard environmental protestor. He is also CheGuevara, even down to his ''first name''.

----

** {{Justified|Trope}}: [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Dr. Quest]] [[AWizardDidIt did it]]. No, really - she stole tech from Quest Labs.

* HotDad: Daphne's dad, too.
* HotMom: Daphne's mom - which makes sense, considering her daughters form an ImprobablyFemaleCast all by themselves.

* TheGenericGuy: Deliberately avoided. Even Fred, the [[RenamedTropes former Trope Namer]] himself, is given a much more developed personality than ever before.

** Hell, even some MonstersOfTheWeek try to KILL people; not even including the {{BigBad}}s. For example, the aformentioned Phantom. And the bad guy in 1.15.

** 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.

* 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.

* 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).
** In "Dance Of The Undead," Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics' music is not sending Shaggy and Scooby into hypnotic dances like everyone else because Shaggy is tone deaf and Scooby says that music is just noise to dogs.

* EldritchAbomination: Char Gar Gothicon, monster of "The Shrieking Madness".

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: In "Nightfright", Vincent Van Ghoul starts the laughter at the end of the episode with an EvilLaugh and everyone else joins in.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Sheriff Stone's pad during the first gnome victim's interview.

** 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.
* GeniusBonus: Daphne's "radical idealist friend" Ernesto seems to be named after Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

* HandsGoDown: "Can anybody tell me what photosynthesis is? ... And PLEASE don't say plant farts."

* HeroicSacrifice: Episode 37: [[spoiler: Cassidy stays behind to free the gang as Pericles detonates the underwater city. Cassidy does not survive.]]

* AHouseDivided: Episode 11 has Velma say "I guess we're not a team any more."
