Line #33 Trivia/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated


1	* ActingForTwo: Creator/FrankWelker voices Fred, Daphne's father, and Scooby-Doo.
2	* TheCastShowoff: Daphne gets to sing, not one, but ''two'' songs in the episode "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E7InFearOfThePhantom In Fear of the Phantom]]". Creator/GreyDeLisle knocks both right out of the park. Grey also later sang as the character Eeko in "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E6ArtOfDarkness Art of Darkness]]".
3	* CelebrityVoiceActor: The recurring cast members consist of Creator/LewisBlack, Creator/TiaCarrere, Creator/GaryCole, Creator/VivicaAFox, Creator/UdoKier and Creator/TimMatheson.
4	* ChannelHop: After decades of the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' franchise being a staple of network Saturday morning TV (on Creator/{{CBS}} from 1969 to 1976, [[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCompany ABC]] from 1976 to 1991, Creator/TheWB from 2002 to 2005, and Creator/TheCW from 2006 to 2008), this was the first ''Scooby'' series to have its first run on Creator/CartoonNetwork, a cable channel known for [[AdoredByTheNetwork frequently rerunning]] various ''Scooby'' shows and movies.
5	* CreatorBacklash: Derrick J. Wyatt didn’t like when the franchise involves real monsters and supernatural threats and tried to campaign for the removal of the central supernatural MythArc, but was overruled.
6	** Scooby's new Brazilian dubber, Reginaldo Primo who took over midway through Season 2 said during one interview that he wasn't satisfied with his first time voicing the character. It didn't help that he was the first new voice for Scooby in Brazilian dub since Creator/OrlandoDrummond started voicing him all the way from the first time the franchise aried in Brazilian in 1972 to the first half of ''Mystery Inc'' so needless to say, it was a ToughActToFollow.
7	* DescendedCreator:
8	** Producer Mitch Watson voices Gary's friend, Ethan.
9	** Creator/PaulRugg voiced Doctor Portillo in an episode he wrote titled "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E5TheSongOfMystery The Song of Mystery]]".
10	* DiagnosisOfGod: In [[http://www.unmaskedsdpodcast.com/2020/09/04/interview-transcript-episode-12-mitch-watson/ a 2020 podcast]], Mitch Watson discussed how Fred was written with autism in mind; “... in our version of ''Mystery Incorporated'' Fred is slightly on the spectrum. You know, he is slightly, he’s a little bit Asperger’s-y, you know, with his obsession with traps and his inability to sort of read human emotions properly and everything. So again, we never said this in the series, but this is what we, this was what was in our minds.”
11	* DisownedAdaptation:
12	** Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the original creators of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'', hated the series because it was too dark and cynical.
13	** Reportedly, Scott Innes, a voice actor for Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy in other works, isn't fond of ''Mystery Incorporated''.
14	* ExecutiveMeddling:
15	** While nothing specific was stated, [[WordOfGod Mitch Watson]] said that some ideas were shot down for being ''too'' scary or weird by the "powers that be".
16	** Velma's relationship with Hot Dog Water couldn't be explicitly stated as a romantic one due to resistance from higher-ups, leading to their status later being confirmed by WordOfGay.
17	* FakeNationality: Creator/TiaCarrere, who is of Chinese, Filipino, and Spanish descent, voices the white Judy Reeves.
18	* FandomNod: In "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E18DanceOfTheUndead Dance of the Undead]]", when asked why the Hex Girls went back to their original outfits (resembling the ones worn in ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheWitchsGhost Witch's Ghost]]''), they say that fans just preferred their original look. Some fans complained about their new look, so this is more than likely a little in-joke.
19	* FlipFlopOfGod: Victor Cook says that there were no LGBT+ characters "that he was aware of" even when asked about Hot Dog Water specifically, while Derrick J. Wyatt [[http://adelightfultedium.tumblr.com/post/126150147407/send-me-a-fandom-and-ill-tell-you-my-scooby-doo listed Velma/Hot Dog Water as one of his favorite pairings in the show]]. The co-creators would later confirm their status as a romantic relationship.
20	* GodNeverSaidThat: Although ''Mystery Incorporated'' Velma is confirmed by WordOfGay to be a lesbian, this has been taken by the general audience to mean that ''all'' her incarnations are lesbian, likely due to people not being aware that ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' has multiple continuities. This is despite her showing interest in men without issue, including Shaggy, in various films.
21	* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The show's sneak peek, usually considered the official premiere, was April 5, 2010. The series finale was on the 3 year anniversary, April 5, 2013.
22	* NonSingingVoice: The lead singer of Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics in the episode "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E18DanceOfTheUndead Dance of the Undead]]", whose speaking voice was provided by Creator/QuintonFlynn while his singing was performed by Dave Wakeling.
23	* TheOtherDarrin:
24	** Creator/CaseyKasem retired from the role of Shaggy and handed the role over to Creator/MatthewLillard, who reprises his role from the theatrical live-action films. [[PredecessorCastingGag Kasem ''does'', however, appear as the voice of Shaggy's father Colton Rogers.]]
25	** Creator/LewisBlack voices Mr. E, but the episode "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E12Scarebear Scarebear]]" has him voiced by Creator/JeffBennett.
26	** Due to Creator/VincentPrice's death, Creator/MauriceLaMarche voices Vincent Van Ghoul.
27	** Gary, Ethan's friend, was voiced by Tony Cervone in season 1 and by Creator/JeffBennett in season 2.
28	** In what was a very controversial move for Brazilian audiences, the classic voices of the main characters (with the exception of Peterson Adriano as Fred, as he had already replaced the classic voice actor for years at this point) were permanently replaced midway through season 2 (previous replacements were only temporary):
29	*** Scooby went from Creator/OrlandoDrummond to Reginaldo Primo;
30	*** Shaggy went from Creator/MarioMonjardim to Mckeidy Lisita;
31	*** Daphne went from Juraciára Diácovo to Flávia Saddy;
32	*** and Velma went from Nair Amorim to Fernanda Baronne.
33	** In the French dub, this is the first ''Scooby-Doo'' series produced by Warner Bros. where Daphne isn't voiced by Joëlle Guigui, who retired due to health issues. Ever since this series, Daphne has been voiced by Céline Melloul instead.
34	* PredecessorCastingGag: Shaggy's father Colton was played by Creator/CaseyKasem, the original voice of Shaggy for 35 years [[note]](1969-1997; 2002-2009)[[/note]]. This ended up being his [[SwanSong final acting role]].
35	* PromotedFanboy: The character designer, Derrick J. Wyatt, grew up with the original series and ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'' along with other Hanna-Barbera shows.
36	* RealLifeRelative: Daphne and Velma's new Brazilian voice actresses, Flávia Saddy and Fernanda Baronne, are sisters in real life.
37	* ReferencedBy: ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice\|2010}}'' episode "[[Recap/YoungJusticeS3E17FirstImpression First Impression]]" has the Newsgirl Legion teens Tommi Thompkins channeling Fred, Gabi Gabrielli channeling Daphne, and Big Words channeling Velma (who even has a brief gag about losing "[her] spectacles") as they conduct a mystery investigation in their small town of Brooklyn. Tommi shares her name with her father, Mayor Tommy Thompkins, who not only doesn't bear any physical resemblance to her at all, but also doesn't want her and her friends conducting investigations, to the point that he's willing to have them arrested. Mayor Thompkins and Sheriff Patrick Maguire also resemble Mayor Jones and Sheriff Stone in terms of physical appearance and mannerisms. Additionally, Sheriff Maguire's voice actor, Creator/TroyBaker, does an impersonation of Creator/PatrickWarburton's performance. And per standard of ''Scooby-Doo'' media, the episode's villain, Whisper A'Daire, complains as she's arrested that she would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for ThoseMeddlingKids. Creator/GregWeisman, one of the show's co-creators, is a friend of Victor Cook, one of ''Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated'''s head writers, as they've both previously worked on ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' together. The show's other co-creator, Brandon Vietti, also worked on some of the ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooDirectToVideoFilmSeries Scooby-Doo]]'' DTV films, including ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'', which contained a [[TheCameo cameo]] appearance from Megan, Zatanna, Artemis, and Cassie.
38	* RoleReprise: Starting with this series, Creator/MatthewLillard takes over as Shaggy's voice actor, reprising the role from the live-action theatrical films.
39	* 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 on 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.
40	%%* SeriesHiatus: Has had three. The series has now ended.
41	* ShrugOfGod: When asked if there were any LGBT characters on the show, Victor Cook stated that there were "none that [he was] aware of.", even when [[AmbiguouslyGay Hot Dog Water]] was suggested.
42	* TechnologyMarchesOn: This series was put out right at the dawn of the iPhone and iPad. So Fred's "smartphone" seen in "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E25PawnOfShadows Pawn of Shadows]]" is naturally based on a flip phone.
43	* ViewerNameConfusion: In Season 2 Episode 13's credits, [[spoiler:the Evil Entity is called Nibiru, which is actually the name of the planet it's from]].
44	* VoicesInOneRoom: [[http://scoobyaddicts.com/Interviews.aspx?id=7&name=Mitch%20Watson In an interview with Mitch Watson]], he stated that the cast would record all their lines together so they could bounce off one another.
45	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
46	** The final show was always meant to be a two-season series, but WordOfGod says [[http://scoobyaddicts.com/Interviews.aspx?id=7&name=Mitch%20Watson that they actually did consider what would happen next in the story in case the show had been renewed for a third season]], which would have had a new MythArc and expanded on [[spoiler:the StealthPrequel aspect]].
47	** According to early press releases, the story would have been somewhat different, as the gang is only ''visiting'' Crystal Cove instead of having grown up there .In addition, the intro shows Scooby-Doo and the gang driving into Crystal Cove:
48	-->The kids from Mystery, Inc. arrive in the village of Crystal Cove, a small town known for its many ghosts and ghoulies. Fred and Velma are determined to debunk the area's many paranormal phenomena.
49	-->But it turns out the locals are none too eager to have their mysteries quashed! Will the gang's head for logic prevail over centuries of local legend?
50	** The Freak was originally named "The Fiend".
51	** Pericles was considered wearing a mask based on Hannibal's.
52	** Judging by the credits of "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E14MysterySolversClubStateFinals Mystery Solvers Club State Finals]]", the Black Knight from the very first episode of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' was supposed to appear, possibly voiced by Creator/GaryCole. He is also credited with reprising his role as Mayor Jones, who doesn't appear in this episode either beside a NameDrop.
53	** According to Mitch Watson [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6fnxa5615c in an interview]] (35:32), there was going to be an episode guest starring Music/TenaciousD, with Creator/JackBlack and Kyle Gass lined up to voice themselves and Jack White writing the script, as well as a song made for the episode. However, the episode was shelved due to legal issues and "Dance of the Undead" was made in its place.
54	* WordOfGay: Tony Cervone [[https://twitter.com/loventhunders/status/1282328974434205697 confirmed that Velma was always intended to be a lesbian]] (spoilers), ''not'' bisexual. However, they were limited due to ExecutiveMeddling, and the result was the best they could get away with at the time. While the two could not act on their feelings at the time, [[spoiler:Velma and Marcie were an OfficialCouple after the timeline reset.]] Mitch Watson also confirmed this three years before [[https://player.fm/series/the-nightfly-with-dave-juskow/live-from-los-angeles-with-mitch-watson in a podcast interview]] (around the 19:20 mark).
55	* WordOfGod: When his Twitter account was active, writer Tony Cervone answered any questions about the show.
56	** Crystal Cove is indeed in California.
57	** Nan Blake suffers from multiple disorders.
58	** Mayor Jones is in his fifties, Sheriff Stone is in his "fifties-ish", and Mayor Nettles is in her mid-thirties.
59	** Mayor Jones wasn't lying in "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E26AllFearTheFreak All Fear the Freak]]" when he said that he loved Fred, even if Fred himself might have thought that he was. This later became clear at the end of Season 2.
60	** Mayor Jones was the one that bought Fred his teddy bear, Mr. Trapples, introduces in "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E1TheNightTheClownCried The Night the Clown Cried]]".
61	** Mayor Jones was from elsewhere in California.
62	** Cassidy was indeed [[spoiler:killed at the end]] of "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E11TheMidnightZone The Midnight Zone]]".
63	** Mayor Jones would've ended up ''worse'' than Brad and Judy without Fred in his life as a MoralityPet. As Tony Cervone puts it, "Fred saved him."
64	** The gang took time to say goodbye to their friends and family before [[spoiler:leaving Crystal Cove at the end of the series]].
65	** [[http://scoobyaddicts.com/Interviews.aspx?id=7&name=Mitch%20Watson Mitch Watson implies in a post-series interview]] that the show is [[spoiler:actually a StealthPrequel to a BroadStrokes of the original canon rather than the original canon straight-up.]]
66	* WordOfSaintPaul: According to [[http://adelightfultedium.tumblr.com/post/80217311385/by-request-of-monzo-mystery-incorporated this piece of unofficial art by Derrick J. Wyatt]], in a MirrorUniverse (borrowing the term of "Shattered Glass" from ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''), Fred would have a BeardOfEvil and a RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver color palette, Daphne would be akin to Alice May, Velma would be akin to Vincent Van Ghoul, Scooby would be akin to [[EvilCounterpart Professor Pericles]], and Shaggy would be akin to H.P. Hatecraft.
