Funny / Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?

Go To

  • "Revenge of the Swamp Monster":
    • The Batman Cold Open that perfectly lampshades the Strictly Formula nature of the series. When Chris sends a helicopter to pick up the gang, mid-summation, Fred decides they'll see who the Beeman of Alcatraz is...very quickly. He takes off the mask to reveal the beekeeper, leading Velma to snark about the obviousness. Then they scramble onto the Mystery Machine before it's lifted into the air, leaving the culprit yelling the You Meddling Kids speech over the rotors. When Daphne asks what he's saying, Fred casually answers, "the usual."
    • The fact that Chris Paul and Shaggy make a big deal about the former saving the latter's life, when all Chris did was share his pizza with Shaggy, who hadn't eaten in three or four hours. The rest of Mystery Inc. are all incredulous except Scooby.
      Scooby: Makes sense to me!
  • "A Mystery Solving Team Divided"
  • "Peebles' Pet Shop of Terrible Terrors":
    • Scooby's story of how he met Wanda Sykes. They met at a dog show, and Scooby was in every event. The boxers? He showed off his boxing skills. The pointers? He shows off his pointing skills. The bulldogs? He does an imitation of a toro. The hot dogs? He scarfs down a very large plate of them.
    • The gang's knack for hiding ridiculously is satirized when Fred and Daphne squeeze themselves (somehow) into pet carriers, Shaggy wedges himself into an empty aquarium despite it being plain glass (which works), and Scooby crams himself into three-quarters of a hanging parrot cage while covering his face (just his face, mind you) with the newspaper from the cage floor.
  • Every time Ricky Gervais snarks about the gang's quirks and the holes in their plan.
  • Wonder Woman is moved by Scooby-Doo's Rousing Speech... well, the parts she could understand, anyway.
  • Turns out a lot of people want revenge against Steve Urkel.
    Daphne: You don't seem bothered that the museum director wants revenge.
    Urkel: Eh, lots of people want revenge on me. Like that security guard over there.
    Security Guard: He rewired my taser gun so it hit me instead. Now, I can't feel my fingers on my left hand. I will get my revenge!
    Urkel: And the museum's lunch lady.
    Lunch Lady: Urkel blew up my entire kitchen. Twice! And I will get my revenge! [lets out evil laugh]
    Urkel: What can I say? I'm popular.
    • Urkel managed to get Mystery Inc. to let him tag along by annoying them into it, and apparently used the same tactic to get out of a restraining order from the museum director.
  • Sia bonds with Shaggy and Scooby due to their love of food.
  • "What a Night for a Dark Knight":
    • Fred finds the Shakespeare bust that hides the button for the bookcase. When Fred presses it, it shows Bruce donning the Batman costume...so he constantly has to throw a batarang to hit the button over and over again while Fred presses it, oblivious.
    • Batman constantly trying to lie to Mystery Inc. about his relationship to Bruce Wayne.
    • Velma got Batman's phone number by hacking into his utility belt.
    • Even Batman has trouble pressing a button while wearing gloves.
    • Batman has to put Velma on hold. His hold music is dubstep to which Shaggy and Scooby dance.
    • The unmaskings of Man-Bat. First, Fred unmasks him to reveal the original Man-Bat, Kirk Langstrom, which Batman knows can't be right since he just saw Langstrom in his cell at Arkham. Then Scooby unmasks him to reveal Alfred, who lets out a familiar crazy laugh. Batman then says that this is getting silly and does one last unmasking to reveal the true culprit: the Joker.
      Joker: Phew. That's better. All those masks were just so hot. Like my face was living in the tropics, and not in a good way, if you know what I mean.
    • The Joker's plan was to kidnap Alfred and force him to reveal the password to Bruce Wayne's bank account. What form of torture does the Joker do to Alfred? He ties Alfred to a pole and repeatedly hits him in the head with tennis balls being shot from a ball machine.
    • Daphne and the Joker complimenting each other on their taste in makeup.
    • When Shaggy asks him where Velma is, the Joker replies, "These lips are sealed. Unless I'm giggling."
  • In "The Sword, the Fox, and the Scooby-Doo" we get this brilliant exchange with Mark Hamill.
    Mark: Oh, I know who you are. You're the guys that recently helped Batman rescue Alfred from the Joker.
    Daphne: Jeepers, how'd you know about that?
    Mark: Oh, I have my sources. (chuckles, then slips into Joker's signature laugh, then coughs) Sorry. I got something caught in my throat there.
    (Daphne and Velma stare awkwardly at him)
  • "Too Many Dummies"
    • There's a Running Gag of Darcy Lynn Farmer and Jeff Dunham thinking that Scooby's speech is a clever ventriloquism routine by Shaggy, no matter how often the pair try to tell them otherwise. It's implied at one point that Petunia (Darcy's puppet) has it figured out.
      Darcy: Wow, Shaggy, you can throw your voice while running? That's amazing!
      Petunia: ...Seriously?
    • At one point, while investigating a creepy old house, puppet Petunia's voice is heard coming from a wooden chest. Darcy Lynn Farmer opens it to find the puppet inside. Jeff Dunham points out that it was fortunate that Petunia was actually in there, or Darcy would have been throwing her voice for nothing.
    • Jeff Dunham mentions that Crazy Carl was once owned by the most evil ventriloquist of all time. His own puppet, Walter, turns to look at him pointedly.
    • Shaggy and Scooby suggest that Walter (a puppet) is behind the scheme.
      Walter: I have sawdust between my ears, and I still have more going on upstairs than you two.
    • At one point, Petunia (again, a puppet) says that when she gets nervous, she has to sing. Darcy (her puppeteer) claps a hand over her mouth and tells her that it is not the time. Petunia sings anyway.
  • In "Scooby On Ice," Simone is told that she can't figure skate in her clown outfit because of how ridiculous it would look, then raises an eyebrow when various figure skaters in stereotypically gaudy outfits skate past her.
  • In "The High School Wolfman's Musical Lament", a jealous former classmate of Christian Slater sings about how he hates Christian because Christian is a star while he's living out of his car. The camera then cuts to the aforementioned car, which is missing a tire and has a broken window. And then a door falls off.
  • "Total Jeopardy":
    • When they both appear on an episode of Jeopardy!, Velma is introduced with an hilariously uncomfortable smile, while Shaggy is shown eating cheese before realizing he's on the air, and he puts the plate away before he also breaks into an uncomfortable smile.
    • While he and the gang are hiding in a large display of TV sets, Alex Trebek tries to disguise Max locating Fred and Daphne by giving Jeopardy questions based on them. As Max comes close to seeing through the trick, Mr. Trebek asks which game show host and team of mystery solving teens will be running very shortly.
    • Shaggy's Final Jeopardy! response, answered as only Shaggy can. Even funnier is that Shaggy apparently wrote it all down in only about a second of scribbling (spending most of the other 30 seconds eating potato chips) and that it's judged an acceptable correct response:
      "Like, what is all those letters and numbers combined with mono-calcium phosphate and either sodium acid pyrophosphate or sodium aluminum sulfate make up the most important ingredient in cakes and cookies and fritters and donuts! Soooo fluffy, light, and wonderful! All thanks to the magic of Baking Powder?!"
  • "A Run Cycle Through Time": Malcolm says that his "time travel" theme park might have gone forward if not for You Meddling Kids, and then grouches about his being unwise enough to invite them in the first place.
  • "Hollywood Knights!" (the episode with George Takei):
    • The Running Gag of people being utterly captivated by George's voice — there are two instances in which George tries saying something to the gang, only to discover that the gang didn't understand a word he said; they were too busy mooning over the sound of his voice. After the first time it happens, Shaggy and Scooby have George recite a list of funny-sounding words.
    • While George is reciting the list of words that Shaggy and Scooby gave him, they're messing around with a suit of armor to make it seem like George's voice is coming from the armor—but while they're doing this, a gardener comes and attacks the suit of armor (thinking it was the Ghost of the Doombringer), going absolutely medieval on it with a piece of gardening equipment he happened to be holding.
    • After George explains to the gang that he hired the gardener (a man named Jimmy) to keep up the Darrington Estate, Jimmy ends up quitting, being too freaked out by all the haunted happenings at the mansion. After Jimmy leaves, Shaggy and Scooby tell George that he's going to have to hire a new gardener, claiming "that one's broken."
    • After having the Darrington Estate declared a historical landmark, George leaves it to Darla Darrington (the original owner's daughter). Darla's just as captivated by the sound of George Takei's voice as the gang is.
    • At the very end of the episode, George "teleports" like the characters on Star Trek (in reality, he throws some gold dust and runs away before Darla and Mystery Incorporated have a chance to see him).
  • There's a montage in the Sherlock Holmes episode of the gang sightseeing in London, and seriously screwing up one selfie after another after another....
  • The Hex Girls turn out to have a tranquilizer dart they keep at the ready at all their shows. Why? "Break in case of Thorn."
    Dusk: We never joke about the tranquilizer gun.
    • While under the effects of a curse, Thorn and Luna start acting like... well... not goths. Dusk screams in terror. Then Thorn starts a concert playing one of her usual tunes on a ukulele.
  • Everything about Morgan Freeman's narration, but especially him asking if Scooby would do it for a Scooby Snack.
  • "Returning of the Key Ring": Sean Astin, Shaggy, and Scooby are grabbing some DIY items for Fred's latest trap when the monster shows up. The trio run through the aisles away from it, grabbing the remaining things, and then race over to the others and say they got everything on Fred's list, plus something extra — "HIM!" Fred is less unnerved by the appearance of the monster than he is disappointed, because now he won't get to finish the trap.
  • All of Kristen Schaal's Cloudcuckoolander antics in "The Last Inmate!".
