* EvilReactionary: Scooby effectively. Part of why he keeps resetting the world and won't accept the gang knowing he's not a normal dog is because it disrupts the status quo that he personally prefers, and he considers each subsequent world more and more "flawed" largely on the basis that it's different from what he knows. In a lot of ways, he's portrayed as effectively a "GEEWUN" kind of fan who refuses to accept any version of a series other than the first.

* BaitAndSwitch: To say that Velma meeting different versions of herself ''isn't'' what happens in this short is a bit of an understatement.
* BlackComedy: Scooby's embarrassed groan in response to Velma's cheer at being "meta" is quite possibly the only moment of unambiguous comedy in the entire short… and it's very quickly followed by him gruesomely killing her.

* HonorBeforeReason: Scooby could probably avoid the whole problem he's in by just not resurrecting Velma with the rest of the gang when he does a reset, since she's the one who always sees through the illusion and recovers her memories. But excluding her would mean not having things ''precisely'' as they were in the original world and he refuses to do that; both because he loves Velma as much as the others and because he refuses to accept such a radical change.
* RevisitingTheRoots: A meta deconstruction of the concept. Scooby keeps killing the gang and resetting the world out of a desperate desire to restore everything back to how it was in the original version of the world (i.e., the original ''Where Are You?'' show). Instead, all he accomplishes is losing more and more of the essence of the show with every attempt to force things back to basics.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Deconstructed. Scooby wants to keep everything "simple" and StrictlyFormula. He will not tolerate any disruption of the basic premise of things — him and the gang solving mysteries — and reacts violently to anything that threatens to be a disruption.
* StylisticSuck: The animation styles and quirks of each era of ''Scooby-Doo'' is faithfully recreated whenever they're glimpsed, such as the stilted animation of the original or the crass, offensive humor of ''Velma''.

* PlotHole: One of the Velmas shown when Scooby mentions having tried "again, and again" at recreating the Gang only for Velma to remember is ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated''. That iteration of the series however gave an ''InUniverse'' explanation for Scooby's ability to talk, namely that he was the descendant of an animal that had been possessed by a member of an alien race known as the Anunnaki, meaning Velma shouldn't have had anything to ''trigger'' her memory in that iteration.
** Although, what the Velmas were actually remembering was not Scooby's ability to talk, but the existence of the other worlds, as he didn't even say anything before this Velma noticed that something was... wrong about him.
