History ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated / TropesSToZ

** After Mary-Anne Gleardan is unmasked as Que Horrifico, the trope of ChildrenAreInnocent that the franchise usually indulges in is averted, as Sheriff Stone quickly arrests her and takes her off to jail like every other MonsterOfTheWeek. Mary-Anne herself even comments on this.
-->'''Mary-Anne''': I'm going to jail? But I'm just a kid!

** Episode 33 when Sheriff Stone tells Velma and Scooby about all the unlawful arrest charges against him from the gang's incorrect assumption of who was behind the monster of the week. When Stone finally thinks he's got a legit tag, the perp [[spoiler:(Count Evallo)]] claims diplomatic immunity.

** Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore's spectral cat, Boo, has a [[BassoProfundo ridiculously bass voice]] when he speaks at the end of Episode 14.

* SassyBlackWoman: Angel Dynamite [[spoiler: a.k.a. Cassidy Williams]]. Also, Lady Marmalade in episode 23 and [[spoiler: Gorgeous G in episode 29]].

* SdrawkcabName: All of the "Wild Brood" bikers in have these, from smooth-acting leader Odnarb, to Foog and Dren, to the disgusting Gabtraf. Justified because [[spoiler: they are role-playing nerds who chose these names on purpose]].

* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Played out in an interesting fashion. They actually haven't left for any significant period of time, but after the [[spoiler: CosmicRetcon, the Scooby Gang are subjected to this because their lives have been changed very drastically. While most of these changes are positive ones and most of Crystal Cove's residents are alive once again, the Scooby Gang find they cannot fit in because their lifelong experiences of being considered the outcasts of Crystal Cove before the Retcon make it very difficult to adjust to a reality where they're considered productive and loved members of society. The fact that they're one of the very few who even remembers the traumatizing experiences in the previous timeline, and the relative rarity of mysteries in this new timeline, and they feel even more isolated as a result. As such, when HarlanEllison offers them a chance to solve more mysteries at his university, they jump on the chance. ]]

* StunnedSilence: [[spoiler: When the original Mystery Incorporated think they've gotten their hands on the Planispheric Disc, they instead find a tape with a message from the Scooby Gang. It's revealed that the entire plot was orchestrated by the gang so that they would be distracted, allowing them to steal their pieces instead. When the tape finishes, all they can do is stare at the screen in shock]].

* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Daphne feels inferior to her older sisters, who ''all'' graduated college before 13 and now have highly successful careers. And it doesn't help that her parents are constantly putting pressure on her to live up to her sisters' reputations. However, [[spoiler: after the timeline reset in the series finale, the roles are reversed. Daphne is now considered the most successful sibling by everyone and her sisters are under-achievers who live in ''her'' shadow. They're the only residents of Crytal Cove whose lives were not improved by the timeline reset]].
* SuperCellReception: Subverted. The gang has cell phones that work when they are stranded in Gatorsburg, but [[spoiler: they reach indifferent parents who are unwilling to help]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Episode 33 when Sheriff. Stone tells Velma and Scooby about all the unlawful arrest charges against him from the gang's incorrect assumption of who was behind the monster of the week. When Stone finally thinks he's got a legit tag, the perp [[spoiler: (Count Evallo)]] claims diplomatic immunity.

* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Parodied in episode 17, where [[spoiler: Danny Darrow]] says that his tape is pre-recorded as they can't trick him, but then they point out ''he did indeed answer them'' and he just the charade.
* TeamRocketWins: [[spoiler: Episode 27: Crybaby Clown gets away, leaving Crystal Cove in virtual ruins and Scooby, Shaggy, Fred and Velma completely defeated]].
** [[spoiler: The perp of Episode 33, Count Evallo, gets off on a technicality--he had diplomatic immunity]].
** [[spoiler: Professor Pericles appears to have obtained the Planispheric Disc in episode 47]].
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: In episode 50. Daphne, when Fred tells her he loves her (and the subsequent kiss); and Velma, when she witnesses the act]].
* TheReveal: Mayor Jones [[spoiler: is the Freak of Crystal Cove and is not Fred's real father.]]
** Mr. E [[spoiler: is actually Ricky Owens of the original Mystery Incorporated.]]
** Angel Dynamite [[spoiler: is Cassidy Williams of the original Mystery Incorporated.]]

** [[spoiler: Hot Dog Water]] in Episode 51.

** This is the effect the curse of Crystal Cove [[spoiler: caused by the Nibiru Entity]] has on ''everyone''.

* TurnInYourBadge: In Episode 24, Mayor Jones fires Stone in favor of a vigilante in a rubber mask. [[spoiler: He gets it back thanks to the gang]].

* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: Dr. Zin]] in "Heart of Evil."

** The final episodes reveal that [[spoiler: Mystery, Inc. as a whole were pawns being manipulated by the Evil Entity, right down to their formation, much like the former mystery solving groups before them. The Evil Entity even boasts that it ''created'' them, and calls them the "Children of Nibiru"]].

* TheWarHasJustBegun: The last line in episode 26: [[spoiler: "I'll get the gang back together, Pericles. We'll be coming for you, or my name isn't Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"]]
** [[spoiler: Scooby issues as similar threat to Pericles at the end of episode 50: "Professor Pericles will regret the day he ever messed with Scooby...Dooby Doo!"]]

** And Sheriff Stone to [[spoiler: Mayor Jones about being the Freak of Crystal Cove]].
** The Gang question whether or not their own ''friendship'' is this, after the reveal that [[spoiler: the Nibiru Entity manipulated them all along to form a group]].

* WellDoneSonGuy: Nearly everyone in the Gang suffers from this to some degree. Shaggy's parents are embarrassed by him and Scooby as a couple of BigEater slackers, Daphne's parents wish she was more like her successful prodigy sisters and completely disapprove of her not being a SpoiledBrat and her relationship with Fred, and Fred's got an entire truckload of issues with his [[spoiler: fake AND real parents]]. Only Velma has got a stable relationship with her parents, mostly her mom.
** [[spoiler: As the result of the WorldHealingWave unleashed by destroying the Nibiru entity, this has changed entirely. Fred's birth parents Brad and Judy are no longer self-serving dimwit psychopaths and are implied to have raised Fred with lots of healthy love and attention, and even Fred Jones Sr., who is now the principal and head coach at Crystal Cove High, considers Fred to be like the son he always wanted. Daphne's parents are completely supportive and proud of her and now wish she her so-called "underachieving" sisters were more like her, to the point that they're helping plan Daphne and Fred's wedding because they think he's a great guy. And Shaggy's parents are bursting with pride over what an accomplished, award-winning chef Shaggy is, to the point that they have a hard time imagining him to be a slacker]].

** [[spoiler: "Mystery Inc. is dead."]] in "All Fear the Freak."
** [[spoiler: "Brad Chiles is your real father."]] in the same episode.
** [[spoiler: "Don't expect me home for dinner...ever."]] in "Wrath of the Krampus."
*** And right before that: "[[spoiler: If you're watching this, you're probably wondering what's happened to your pieces of the Planispheric Disc. In a word, you've been conned, scammed, bamboozled]]."
** "[[spoiler: The dog... ''DIES!'']]"
** "[[spoiler: Nibiru. Nibiru is coming]]."

** [[spoiler: "The Anunnaki have a great history of helping humans, but we have no physical form and must inhabit animals. This is why some animals, our descendants, can talk and others cannot." Not only does the revelation come out of nowhere yet fit in perfectly with the ongoing storyline, it also finally answers a lingering question that's ''forty-four years in the making'': how come Scooby-Doo can talk?]]
* WhamShot: The final shot of "A Night On Haunted Mountain", in which [[spoiler: an ''actual ghost'' appears in the wreckage of the galleon, visibly fading from man to skeleton and confirming that Season 2 will have full-blown ''non''-faked supernatural events.]]

** Episode 32: [[spoiler: Cassidy pleads with Brad and Judy to place Fred's interests first; that the search for the treasure has destroyed everything the team originally stood for. They turn a deaf ear so Cassidy leaves them]].

** [[spoiler: There's something about Velma, being Cassidy's counterpart, that Mr. E seems to fancy. In episode 33, he wants her to join his side again. She refuses]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Professor Pericles says this about [[spoiler: the citizens of Crystal Cove once they have successfully unearthed he door to the Nibiru Entity's tomb]].

* YouMonster: Mr. E says this to Pericles after [[spoiler: he orders the death of everyone in Crystal Cove]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: At the end of Episode 18, [[spoiler: it turned out that the girl the dude in the costume was chasing was also after the Dragon's Heart ruby; she'd used [[LawfulStupid Shaggy]]'s crush on her to manipulate [[BatmanGambit the gang into taking out the competition]]]].

* YouWillKnowWhatToDo: [[spoiler: Said by the possessed Nova to Scooby-Doo when she freezes time in the series finale to tell Scooby that the heart of the jaguar was never the spear, and that he'll know what to do when the time comes]].

* TownWithADarkSecret: Crystal Cove has a long and storied history of mysterious happenings, as well as an alleged curse. And if "Mister E" is to be believed, the gang have just invoked the curse again. Regardless, it becomes clear by the end of the pilot episode that something is very ''wrong'' with Crystal Cove.
** That very wrong thing [[ArtifactOfDoom is a treasure hidden by the conquistadors]]; it's said that trying to find it could well bring about the destruction of the world.

* {{Troperrific}}

* SuperOCD: Fred makes a multi-page schedule for Daphne so he'll know where she is every minute of the day. Like Series/{{Monk}}, he [[spoiler:got it because of the loss of a loved one, in Fred's case his abandonment by his mother]].

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Both girls get their fair share of physical pratfalls throughout the show.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: This adaptation is surprisingly more on the cynical end than some of the other versions of the Scooby Doo franchise. With that said, it's not relentless in its cynicism or is ungodly mean-spirited.

* SkunkStripe: Velma's Mom.
