** Desdomona Gunderson, Buddy's older sister, is snarky, obsessed with technology, is a bit cynical, and wears punk clothing, but is ultimately a decent person. On top of that, she's voiced by Creator/JessicaDiCicco. Are you sure her name isn't [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Tambry]]?

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When the gang is being told about the tale of Dapper Jack, the audience gets to see a series of pictures depicting the events. It's mentioned that Jack had a dog, who's represented in the pictures as Scooby with a mustache. When the tale ends, the entire gang lampshades how they too pictured Scooby as the dog, with Shaggy mentioning that she pictured his ancestor's dog with a mustache.

** Like many of these later movies, this movie uses a lot of things that the ''Scooby'' series have utilized before. This being the third time an ancestor of Shaggy has been the victim of a ScoobyDooHoax after his death (the previous times having been in ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooAndScrappyDooShow'' episode "Wedding Bell Boos" and the movie ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMeetsTheBooBrothers''). This is also the second of which was officially paired with a Scooby ancestor (Shaggy's ancestor [=McBaggy=] Rogers from the aforementioned "Wedding Bell Boos" had a dog named Yankee Doodle Doo who was Scooby's ancestor). It is also the second time one of those ancestor's real ghost arrives at the end of the movie to give a silent "thank you" (the real ghost of Shaggy's uncle Beauregard turned up at the end of ''Boo Brothers'').

Shaggy has a bit of an excuse with [[ItRunsInTheFamily his ancestor being a cowboy.]] Scooby, not so much.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Rufus Carmichael. He tricked the town into believing kindhearted Dapper Jack was an outlaw, killed him, then committed numerous crimes disguised as him. He even implicitly got to claim a reward by disappearing for a week and supposedly killing Jack after the fact, and presumably lived out the rest of his life in luxury and fame, considering to the present day he was considered a hero.]]
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When the gang is being told about the tale of Dapper Jack, the audience gets to see a series of pictures depicting the events. It's mentioned that Jack had a dog, who's represented in the pictures as Scooby with a mustache. When the tale ends, the entire gang lampshades how they too pictured Scooby as the dog.
* MoodWhiplash: PlayedForLaughs in one scene. When Shaggy falls off a cliff, the rest of the gang sighs in relief when Scooby grabs him and saves him. Then they both fall further and the gang screams. Then they grab a branch and the gang's relieved. Then the branch breaks... and repeat until they eventually hit the ground relatively safely.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Two horses; Buckstitch ("because when he bucks you, they gotta stitch you back together") and Widowmaker (who needs no elaboration). Naturally, Shaggy ends up having to ride both.
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler:What Dapper Jack really was - he was one of the most generous and helpful souls there was. His legend was corrupted because the sheriff framed him, killed him, then disguised himself as Dapper Jack to commit various robberies.]]
* NiceHat: Being a western, stetsons are all over the place. Shaggy's wearing one before they even get there!
* OhCrap: Besides various people when Dapper Jack appears, Shaggy gets this when he learns the horse he's about to ride in a rodeo is called Widowmaker.
* OverlyLongGag: Shaggy and Scooby falling down the cliff. See MoodWhiplash above.
* RealityEnsues: Fred's first attempts at riding a horse and using a lasso, with no instruction, go poorly for him. So does him attempting to shoe a horse, again without instruction.
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:When the real Dapper Jack's ghost appears at the end, this seems to be the meaning of how he smiles and nods to Shaggy. That and/or thanking him for clearing his name.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Child star Buddy G is afraid of horses. He gets over it with Scooby's help.
