History ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated / TropesSToZ

* XMeetsY: ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' meets ''Series/TwinPeaks''.

* TailorMadePrison: Professor Pericles is kept in a special isolated cell (visually based on Magneto's cell from the ''Film/{{X-Men}}'' movies) in the maximum security animal asylum.

* ScarecrowSolution: Mystery, Inc. stage one in [[spoiler:"Wrath of the Krampus"]].
* SchoolgirlLesbians: [[spoiler: Hinted at with Velma and Hot Dog Water.]]

* ScoobyDoobyDoors: It only took seven episodes for them to reappear in the episode "In Fear of the Phantom".

** [[spoiler:The gang stages their own hoax in episode 39 in order to steal the other three pieces of the Planispheric Disc from the old Mystery Incorporated.]]
** Other aversions: [[spoiler:Episode 43 has the gang sussing out right away that Professor Pericles is behind the mutant cattle. Episode 50 is a straight adventure drama with a touch of humor.]]

* [[spoiler: SealedEvilInACan: The Nibiru entity, who is sealed inside the crystal coffin of the Conquistador's Treasure and is heard laughing from inside it at the end of episode 39.]]

* ShoutOut: Enough for [[ShoutOut/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated its own page.]]

** [[spoiler:And it's proving to be a potential sign of what could happen later. In episode 41, we find out that a group of mystery solvers 500 years ago had a pet donkey who detonated the settlement of Crystal Cove into the sea and tried to take off with a piece of the Planispheric Disc before he was attacked by an alligator. The mummy of Friar Gabriella Serra (and he's a real spook this time) warns the gang "this has all happened before" and presages that Scooby, being the animal of the team, will die as warned by the alligator.]]

* SlutShaming: The puritan "ghost" of Hebediah Grimm, who attacked women with a giant mallet for their "painted faces, exposed necklines, and skirts that rise above the ankle!" It turned out Hebediah was being played by two teens who would "rescue" his victims, who they found hot for exactly the reasons Hebediah was attacking. This is probably why [[HollywoodHomely Velma]] was spared, despite her short skirt, with Grimm calling her a homely "model of purity".

* SpyCatsuit: Angel Dynamite wears one she breaks into Destroido in "Menace of the Manticore".
** [[spoiler:Velma and Hot Dog Water wear some briefly while working for Mr. E.]]

* [[spoiler: StealthPrequel: The series finale reveals that the series was actually a prequel to the Scooby Doo mythos as a whole. The show ends with the gang in an alternate reality, setting forth to go to college, stopping to solve mysteries along the way.]]

* 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.]]
* StuffBlowingUp: An alarmingly high rate too, compared to the older shows; there have been cars, trains, houses, helicopters exploding, even ''the Mystery Machine'' [[spoiler:but it turned out the blowing up van was a decoy to upset Fred and the gang.]]

** [[spoiler:Fred actually blows up the tricked-out Mystery Machine in episode 50 when Pericles' Kriegstauffenbots surround and attack it.]]

* TakeThat: Episode 20 has one against Scrappy Doo and [[ReplacementScrappy Flim Flam]]. It's mentioned that Flim Flam was given 25 to life for being a con artist, even as a ''preteen.'' Scrappy gets a quick [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain "We all promised each other that we would never speak of him."]]

* 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.]]

* [[spoiler: ThoseWackyNazis: Flau Gluck builds an army of Nazi Robots to aid her in her search for the disc pieces. Given her design choice, she must have had some affiliation with the Nazi Party. What verifies this as opposed to her just using Nazi imagery to scare others away is the time period: she was making the robots sometime during the 1940's. The presence of Nazi Robots off the Coast of America during this time would have assuredly triggered a response by the Navy, defeating the purpose.]]
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Done repeatedly by the Obliteratrix in "Pawn of Shadows".

** Shaggy ''and'' Scooby in [[spoiler:episode 45. Incredibly obese from an eating binge, they take it upon themselves to fight the gluten monster.]]
** Scooby-Doo in [[spoiler:episode 50 when the robots threaten Shaggy.]]

* TrapMaster: Fred, to the immediate tee, and [[spoiler:Danny Darrow, Episode 17's villain.]]
* TrickArrow: The Obliteratrix uses them to attack Mystery, Inc. in "Pawns of Shadow".

* TrueCompanions: Fred already thinks of the gang as this, stating in episode 8 that the relationship of the group as a whole is more important than the individual romances within and that they're going to be together their "whole lives".

* 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."]]

* VandalismBackfire: In "Heart of Evil", Dr. Zin captures the Blue Falcon and Scooby-Doo. Having established that the Falcon would do anything to save his dog, Zin proceeds to subject Scooby to the agonizer ray. This fails to convince the Falcon to talk and Zin asks him why. The Falcon replies "That's not my dog".
* ViciousCycle: Ever since the ArtifactOfDoom was left behind in Crystal Cove, it has manipulated groups of intrepid mystery solvers throughout the town's history in a bid to free itself. [[spoiler:And in each case, the animal companion always betrayed the others.]]
** [[spoiler:That's because the search for the treasure had corrupted the human members, so the animal mascot took it upon itself to destroy the disc. It was trying to stop the curse.]]

** [[spoiler:The Nibiru Entity]] blows them out of the water. In addition to [[spoiler:being ''responsible'' for them, he ''eats the entire town''. This isn't 'DisneyDeath by a guy in a mask', this is an EldritchAbomination eating people ''onscreen''.]] It makes one wonder what happened to the censors.

** 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.]]

** [[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.]]
* WhamEpisode: [[WhamEpisode/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated Can be found here.]]

** [[spoiler: "Mystery Inc. is dead."]] in "All Fear the Freak"
** [[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: "[[SuddenlyVoiced Nibiru. Nibiru is coming.]]"]]
** "The Legend of Alice May": "It'll be a long time before they find out that [[spoiler:Deacon Carlswell never had a daughter.]]

** Episode 52: [[spoiler:After the alternate timeline was created, we see Marcy and Cassidy alive again. But we never see Ed Machine.]]

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: There's a real Crystal Cove south of Los Angeles proper along Pacific Coast Highway (California highway 1) between Newport Beach and Dana Point, but the show's Crystal Cove is simultaneously a Pacific coastal town founded by conquistadors, a former Old West town in the middle of the desert, and three miles from ''the bayou''. At one point in the episode "Theater of Doom," it is mentioned that their location is next to the Pacific so the viewer can only assume that Crystal Cove is somewhere along the West Coast.

** 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.]]

** In episode 37, [[spoiler:just before sacrificing herself, Cassidy is asked by Daphne about her relationship with Ricky. She tells Daphne that ended a long time back and in Fred's case, she urges Daphne to not make the same mistake.]]
** [[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.]]

-->'''Fred:''' [[CallBack You mean "meddling kids".]]

* YellowPeril: Dr. Zin in "Heart of Evil".

-->'''Episode 2: ''' '''[[spoiler: Gunther Gator]]:''' If it weren't for you meddling [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness juveniles with your unauthorized investigation of our synthetic gator accessories.]]

-->'''[[spoiler: In Episode 18, Fred interrupts the speech while Scooby agrees that it's been run into the ground.]]'''
-->'''[[spoiler: Episode 19 has the bad guy thank the meddling kids because after he gets out of jail, he'll be able to collect the rights for the movie based on his time as a jackass in a rubber mask messing with people.]]'''

-->'''Episode 23:''' Averted as the culprit was [[spoiler: Professor Pericles, who took off with the disc piece Fred's dad had--and apparently took from Pericles years ago.]]

-->'''Episode 25:''' [[spoiler: Alice May calls Angel a "meddling sassy pants."]]
-->'''Episode 26:''' [[spoiler: Mayor Jones calls Fred "my meddling... Fred," tying into the revelation that he's not actually Freddy's birth father.]]

-->'''Episodes 17 and 34''' avert this. The antagonist in episode 17 was swallowed by an earthquake, while in episode 34, [[spoiler:Hot Dog Water--unmasked by Velma as the perp--simply hands Velma the disc piece and leaves. The rest of the gang was still covered in debris from the galleon wreckage.]]
-->[[spoiler: Professor Pericles delivers the line straight in episode 37, attributing his failure to eliminate Cassidy to those "meddling kids".]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Episode 52:''' After Harlan Ellison reveals he's gotten the gang enrolled in Miskatonic University, he comments that "there's a lot of meddling to do".]]

* 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.]]
** [[spoiler:Lampshaded by Scooby, who tells her to just seriously, tell him what to do.]]

* XMeetsY: ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' meets ''TwinPeaks''.

* SeventiesHair: In abundance.

* ScoobyDooHoax: It wouldn't be a Scooby-Doo show without it.

* SuperHeroOrigin: This is the only Scooby Doo story thus far that gives an explanation for why he's capable of talking while other animals are not. It turns out that Scooby was revealed to be [[Spoiler:a descendant of the Annunaki, a group of otherworldly sentient animal-like beings who were capable of speech and played a part in human history in the distant past.]]

* [[TortureCellar Torture Mansion]]: The ruins of the Darrow Mansion in Episode 17 is this, complete with ominous music.

*** And right before that: [[spoiler: "If you're watching this, you're probably wondering what's happened to your pieces of the Planispheric Disc. [[TwoWordsObviousTrope In a word, you've been conned, scammed, bamboozled]]." ]]

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite universal praise the series was screwed in Season 2 where there would often be months between new episodes and no news of when new episodes would come out. It was easier to find the episodes online rather than TV. Luckily however, they managed to wrap up the series at the end instead of outright canceling it like many other shows that have been screwed.

* SeriesHiatus: Has had three. The series has now ended.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: There's a real Crystal Cove south of Los Angeles proper along Pacific Coast Highway (California highway 1) between Newport Beach and Dana Point, but the show's Crystal Cove is simultaneously a Pacific coastal town founded by conquistadors, a former Old West town in the middle of the desert, and two miles from ''the bijou''.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: All we know is that Crystal Cove is a town near the Pacific founded by conquistadors; possibly somewhere in California.
** It is. It's south of Los Angeles proper along Pacific Coast Highway (California highway 1) between Newport Beach and Dana Point.T

* VocalDissonance: Technical issue: the credits of episode 38 have Jeff Bennett as the voice of Mr. E. It's not readily clear if this was a typo or Lewis Black has been replaced--it still sounds the same.
** Must have been a typo. Episode 39 has Mr. E voiced by Black.

* WholePlotReference: Chargargothicon was a reference to the many ''[[Creator/HPLovecraft Necronomicon]]'' [[FanDumb forgeries]]. The names have been changed to protect the innocent... and for some reason implicate Robert E. Howard.

** It is. It's south of Los Angeles proper along Pacific Coast Highway (California highway 1) between Newport Beach and Dana Point.
