7* And we would've gotten away without having a MemeticMutation article for ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' if it weren't for YouMeddlingKids! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The SharePhrase uttered by nearly every ''Scooby'' villain ever. This actually started around ''Pup'', and the closest any villain in ''Where Are You?'' has gotten to this was in "Jeepers, It's the Creeper!" At any rate, it became the default term used by anyone who was doing something they shouldn't have. This phrase is often lampshaded in more recent incarnations.[[/labelnote]]
8** Ruh-roh! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Scooby's CatchPhrase.[[/labelnote]]
9*** Rehehe! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Scooby's SignatureLaugh. Nowadays, it's often used in shitposts or troll videos, with one of the most famous uses of it being the (in)famous ''Quandale Dingle'' audio play/web animation series.[[/labelnote]]
10** Zoinks! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Shaggy's CatchPhrase.[[/labelnote]]
11** Jinkies! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Velma's CatchPhrase.[[/labelnote]]
12*** Let's get jinky with it. [[labelnote:Explanation]] What Velma says to the crew in the first film, which was first heard in the trailers.[[/labelnote]]
13*** You stop that.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from the early ''Where Are You!'' episode, "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts", said to a guy in a Dracula costume. It's often jokingly referred to as one of Velma's most savage moments, sometimes lumped in with her ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated Mystery Incorporated]]'' incarnation where she was much more of a DeadpanSnarker.[[/labelnote]]
14** Jeepers! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Daphne's CatchPhrase.[[/labelnote]]
15** "Why, I'd be kicked out of the Scooby gang!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A social media meme in which the gang says their above-mentioned catchphrases, culminating in the poster's own personal catchphrase (usually a curse word). ''[[Recap/SupernaturalS13E16ScoobyNatural Scoobynatural]]'' would reference it with having the gang say their catchphrases, followed by Dean saying, "Son of a bitch!"[[/labelnote]]
16** FRED SAYS [[PrecisionFStrike "FUCK!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A Cartoon Network commercial for ''Scooby-Doo'' had Fred going on a censored rant about his ascot, likely cussing and saying [[PrecisionFStrike the F-word]].[[/labelnote]]
17** [[DoubleEntendre Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Scooby and Shaggy would do ''anything'' if enough Scooby Snacks were involved, and jokes about them are common.[[/labelnote]]
18** [[LetsSplitUpGang Let's split up, gang!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Another OnceAnEpisode line and Fred's {{catch phrase}}. This never works well and is used to mock idiots that insist on doing this instead of using safety in numbers.[[/labelnote]]
19** Ta-dadada! Puppy power! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Scrappy's CatchPhrase, one of many things used to mock him.[[/labelnote]]
20*** Lemme at 'em! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scrappy's other CatchPhrase.[[/labelnote]]
21** "Red Herring did it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fred blamed every incident in ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' on his SitcomArchNemesis (and resident neighborhood bully) Red Herring, and it would never turn out to be him. Nearly every unexplained incident or mystery is usually jokingly suggested to be his fault.[[/labelnote]]
22* ''WebVideo/TheMisadventuresOfSkooks'', a series of highly-quotable Scooby Doo [[YoutubePoop [=YouTube=] Poops]] by the user [=OrpheusFTW=], quickly spawned [[FountainOfMemes a bunch of memes]] shortly after its debut:
23** "Watch me ''[[InherentlyFunnyWords swooce]]'' right in! ''Swooce, swooce''!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] In the second part, Shaggy climbs up a ladder and announces that he's going to jump through a window by saying this. ''Swooce'' is one of the most popular quotes from the whole series. [[/labelnote]]
24** "Am I glad that he's frozen in there and that we're out here and that he's the sheriff and we're frozen out here and we're in there and I just remembered we're out here....what I want to know is where's the caveman?" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Part 3: Fred and Shaggy look on at the frozen caveman as Shaggy gives a [[WordSaladHumor rambling observation]] about the caveman. Frozen cavemen as sheriffs have become somewhat of a RunningGag in the [=YouTube=] Poop community.[[/labelnote]]
25** "Mmmm, you bet!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Daphne's catch phrase, sort of. [[/labelnote]]
26** "Let's plot a course! Intercourse!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Fred to various clones of Shaggy in part 1, when Fred tries to give the real Shaggy a blowjob.[[/labelnote]]
27** "[[RunningGag Let's all meet back at the malt shop!]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Throughout part 3, Fred says this line to the gang every time they run into a new problem.[[/labelnote]]
28** Would you like to see the strongman?[[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of part 4, Fred asks this question to the viewers, with two options appearing if the viewers want to see the mah-fuggin' strongman. [[FakeInteractivity You can't select yes.]][[/labelnote]]
29** "Secret bitch!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] A vulgar version of "Secret Switch" [[/labelnote]]
30** [[BestialityIsDepraved Lucky for you, I'm a dog lover!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Shaggy's catchphrase.[[/labelnote]]
31* [[Memes/{{Music}} You reposted in the wrong neighborhood]][[note]]One of the earliest videos of the memetic song mashup "You Reposted in the Wrong Neighborhood" is accompanied by a still from the YTP depicting a zoomed-in upside down image of Shaggy's head, with Shaggy's face photoshopped to be right side up (making his thick hair look like a beard and making his chin look like a bald head), starting a trend in which subsequent videos of the mashup swap clean-shaven faces and hair to recreate the same bearded bald look (as seen with [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens President Hathaway]]) or to once again use an upside down head with the face turned right side up (like with [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Heinz Doofenshmirtz]] and [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]]).[[/note]]
32* Fred's obsession with traps [[note]]A term used for male {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s in anime who [[DudeLooksLikeALady look like girls]][[/note]] (up to eleven in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', to the point that he even has a subscription to [[PornStash "Traps Illustrated"]]) has been interpreted by anime and video game fans to thinking that he is a fan of {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s (i.e., [[Literature/FateApocrypha Astolfo]], [[Manga/BlendS Hideri Kanzaki]], etc).
33* There seem to be ''lots'' of fans who'd love [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3la82bYtcPg this]] [[CrackPairing to be canon]]. Seriously, go to Website/DeviantART and type "WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo Velma Dinkely" and see what you come up with. (Note that some are SFW, but others clearly are not.)
34* Shaggy is a major FountainOfMemes ''and'' MemeticBadass:
35** Everything's Going to be ''Daijoubu'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reaction image of an anime-fied Shaggy in the rain (which is a remake of [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/642/274/a65.jpg this image]]) with the said text added above & below him. This was used to express something really, really bad (or potentially heartbreaking) happens.[[/labelnote]]
36** Ultra Instinct Shaggy [[labelnote:Explanation]]Adding on to the above example, having Shaggy punching anime protagonists such as [[Anime/DragonBallZ Goku]] became a popular edit. But it wasn't until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBc4U_R3yEY an edited video]] featured Shaggy using [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Ultra Instinct]] to defeat a group of bikers in the film ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooLegendOfThePhantosaur'' (Shaggy ''does'' actually beat up a group of bikers in the movie after being hypotized into being braver, it's simply edited with ''Dragon Ball Super'''s powerup theme and after-image effects) that he became a popular, full-fledged MemeticBadass with immense godlike power who can curb-stomp other overpowered characters such as ComicBook/{{Superman}} and [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] into submission, or even God Himself.[[/labelnote]]
37*** Shaggy's power [[labelnote:Explanation]] Shaggy's already exaggerated memetic badassery led to jokes and memes about him performing all sorts of incredible feats on a cosmic scale, all [[IAmNotLeftHanded with only a small, often near-microscopic percentage of his power]]. However, other memes portray Shaggy as [[PowerfulAndHelpless incapable of solving more mundane or personal problems]] even with full power, such as getting over an ex, bringing {{vaporware}} back from {{development hell}}, helping a virgin get laid, etc.[[/labelnote]]
38*** Captioned interviews of the movie cast about how Shaggy (no, not Matthew Lillard, ''[[MemeticBadass Shaggy]]'') as a cast member had been difficult to work with due to his massive power. The meme has also expanded to include other characters, like various characters from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (mainly Patchy the Pirate and Squidward), Gru from ''Franchise/DespicableMe'' and Dio from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
39*** "Who said 100% was my limit?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the captioned interviews was of Shaggy explaining he used 98% of his power while filming for the movie, to which the interviewer commented that it was almost full use of his power. Shaggy replied with this.[[/labelnote]]
40*** "Are you challenging me?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Shaggy says this in the 2002 film when Scooby attempts to initiate a farting and burping contest. It naturally became popular due to his sudden popularity, often used in response to another character who could pose a challenge to Ultra Instinct Shaggy.[[/labelnote]]
41*** God of Destruction Scooby[[labelnote:Explanation]]An offshoot of Ultra Instinct Shaggy with Scooby being portrayed as a God of Destruction, acting as the Beerus to Scooby's Goku.[[/labelnote]]
42*** Became {{ascended|Meme}} with ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms'' where Ultra Instinct Shaggy drags Scorpion back into the Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation logo, aura glowing and all (though mainly due to Quan Chi's sorcery; still, the fact that it's Shaggy counts). Then ''VideoGame/{{Multiversus}}'' made it canon by explaining he gained his powers via biting a power crystal and the reveal trailer having him punch out ''Superman''.
43** Shaggy bites something[[note]]An image of Shaggy about to bite into food is often photoshopped to have him try to bite something else, like [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 the Crying Child]].[[/note]]
44** "Like, zoinks, Scoob! [[Creator/MatthewLillard I'm]] [[Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys2023 the man behind the slaughter]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In December 2022 an official cast list for ''Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys2023'' was announced, which revealed Shaggy's current voice actor, Creator/MatthewLillard, would be playing [[BigBad William Afton]]. Since Afton is just as much as a FountainOfMemes in his [[Memes/FiveNightsAtFreddys respective fandom]], this has predictably led to various edits depicting Shaggy as Purple Guy/Springtrap.[[/labelnote]]
45* "Heck Yeah/Heck No/Fuck Yeah/Fuck No Scrappy Doo". [[labelnote:Explanation]]A running trend on tumblr in regards to Scrappy's status within the fandom reaching BaseBreakingCharacter instead of the TropeNamer that [[TheScrappy it's based on]]. Some will make blogs dedicated to praising/loving Scrappy but there was also a gag of haters making tumblr blogs hating on Scrappy, whether for comedic/meme purposes or ''actual'' purposes.[[/labelnote]]
46* "scrappy doo was found dead in miami" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reoccurring phrase said by Scrappy-Doo haters because of how absurd it is. The phrase originated from, of all things, a ''Series/{{Dexter}}''-''Scooby-Doo'' [[ARareSentence crossover]] where the fanfiction begins with Dexter Morgan learning that Scrappy-Doo was murdered in Miami. [[/labelnote]]
47* [[https://todayscoobydoomeets.tumblr.com/ Today, Scooby-Doo Meets...]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A Tumblr blog that uploads edited screencaps of the title card from ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'', edited to make it look like the gang is going to meet some random person or thing, such as [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]], Creator/TommyWiseau, and the Dashcon ballpit.[[/labelnote]]
48* [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/762/616/d60.gif That's my fetish.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A reaction meme where everyone is looking horrified at something, while Fred blankly stares with a goofy smile on his face saying that said thing is his fetish. Ironically, [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/716/373/e70.gif there's an alternate version]] where Fred is featured with a rather concerned expression instead.[[/labelnote]]
49* Scooby-Doo... but with a gun. [[labelnote:Explanation]]An artist that draws doodles of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Scooby-Doo with a gun]] while Shaggy doesn't notice or is confused by this development. [Something] with a gun is a popular meme in general.[[/labelnote]]
50* "I think Coolsville sucks!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In [[Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed the second film]], Fred tells the news media that [[ManipulativeEditing they're taking everything he says out of context]] and making people think that he thinks Coolsville sucks... which naturally is cut down to this line by a popular news show. Used on social media whenever something is perceived to have been taken out of context.[[/labelnote]]
51* "Shaggy, this isn't weed."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A photoshopped picture of Fred Jones with [[NightmareFace his face horrifically distorted]], implying that he or Shaggy himself has [[MushroomSamba ingested a hallucinogen]].[[/labelnote]]
52* "Shaggy is asked to leave the funeral"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.memecenter.com/fun/7206168/scooby-doo-offensive-meme This]] infamous NSFW picture of an OffModel Shaggy is frequently seen in the dark humor section on 9gag and has made rounds elsewhere on the web. View at your own risk.[[/labelnote]]
53* My friends call me...''Dick''.[[labelnote:Explanation]][[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick]] [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dastardly]], who turns out to be the BigBad in the new ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'' movie, is trying to correct [[SpeechImpairedAnimal Scooby]] after he keeps calling him "Rick". Naturally, [[HehHehYouSaidX the internet ran with it]], sometimes with the interpretation that [[{{Troll}} Scooby's tricking him into repeating his own name]].[[/labelnote]]
54** [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants MY NAME'S! NOT! RIIIIIIIIICK!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Scooby's mispronunciation, people had already made connections to a certain ''[=SpongeBob=]'' joke of a similar nature.[[/labelnote]]
55** [[WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne IT'S RIIIIIIIIIIICK!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Some people connect it to a quote from ''Evil Con Carne''.[[/labelnote]]
56* Officer Jaffe[[labelnote:Explanation]]A scene in ''SCOOB!'' shows an attractive female officer pulling Mystery Inc. over, only for her to reveal herself as Dick Dastardly in disguise ([[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/851/075/e5b.gif shown here]]). It quickly made the rounds due to [[StupidSexyFlanders how well Dastardly pulls off the disguise]].[[/labelnote]]
57* Lobster Scrappy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A frame [[WesternAnimation/TheScoobyDooAndScrappyDooShow from Scrappy-Doo and Yabba-Doo]] with Scrappy in a lobster costume on a platter, has recently been making rounds due to just how inexplicably random and funny it is.[[/labelnote]]
58* I hate my life. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A copypasta where a guy rants about his life and the people around him, only for him to reveal that he's talking from the POV of Fred.[[/labelnote]]
59* "It offered so much more than every other cartoon, it was so ahead of its time, it had a story, they worked hard to figure it out, and it wasn't gender-specific — it wasn't a boys' cartoon or girls' cartoon or any of those things." "It was a talking dog, you know what I mean?"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://twitter.com/cybrxangel/status/1344549104328835072?s=20 This]] snippet from a movie interview with Creator/SarahMichelleGellar and Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr about what they thought made the original cartoon appealing. Gellar's thoughtful answer versus Prinze's simplistic one quickly made jokes that this is proof that WomenAreWiser and that Fred/Prinze are the himbo in the relationship (especially since the two actors later married).[[/labelnote]]
60* "WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT SHAGGY GOT GAME." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Shaggy has been paired with more women love interests than anyone else in the Hanna-Barbera line, including but not limited to: Daphne (in The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo), Googie and Sadie Mae in the Superstars 10 films, Mei Ling and a clerk girl in What's New, Crystal in Alien Invaders, Madelyn in Abracadabra-Doo, Mary Jane in the movie and later even attempted with Velma in the Mystery Inc. continuity. When someone has been a fan of the series long enough and they end up realizing this, their reactions can best be described along the lines of going apeshit out of sheer disbelief.[[/labelnote]]
61* Fred pronouncing treasure. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Fred in the [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou original series]] had an odd way of saying treasure, pronouncing it as tray-sure instead of treh-sure. This is often joked as being Fred's actual catchphrase. [[/labelnote]]
62* [Shaggy Will Like Remember This Man] [[labelnote:Explanation]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdNx86H2gAY This]] WebVideo/ProZD skit where he pokes fun at the often outlandish [[StoryBranching choice system]] present in many games from the now defunct Creator/TelltaleGames studio with the use of Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy. It is very popular to share among fans and non-fans alike. It's even received a few animations.[[/labelnote]]
63* "I was mostly talking about girls. HOT-" [[labelnote:Explanation]] An [[ItMakesSenseInContext out of context]] and cut off voiceline from an educational film strip about acne called ''The Scooby-Doo Gang In: Skin Deep''. Velma is talking about how acne can be caused by applying oily cosmetics to Shaggy, who wonders how he would look without cosmetics. Velma then clarifies that she was talking about how it's usually girls who use cosmetics and get acne. She then explains how "Hot, humid weather also intensifies acne," with the audio quality making it sound like she's shouting the word "Hot". Since Velma was originally meant to be a lesbian in ''Film/ScoobyDoo2002'', confirmed to be one by WordOfGay after ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' ended, and finally explicitly shown in ''WesternAnimation/TrickOrTreatScoobyDoo'', editing the dialogue so it seems like Velma is talking about hot women took off, usually with her raising her arms in the air while saying "HOT!" and then disappearing. The line has also been edited to be used by canonically lesbian characters and people.[[/labelnote]]
64* Scooby-Doo predicted Website/DeviantArt. [[labelnote:Explanation]] A very common gag throughout the franchise includes characters (mainly Shaggy and Scooby) either getting [[BalloonBelly incredibly fat]] or [[InflatingBodyGag being blown up like balloons]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f27CYq-Fq0 This video]] compiles nearly 10 minutes of inflation.[[/labelnote]]
65* "Looks like we're all out of Scooby Snacks, Scoob!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the "Wanted Cheddar Alive" episode of ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', Shaggy finds out that his house has ran out of Scooby Snacks, prompting Scooby to scream. His scream is generally replaced with other sound effects, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdf8dcdO0oo the opening portion to "Gangsta's Paradise"]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-XW9Gkw4tU the theme to Harry Potter]].[[/labelnote]]
