YMMV / Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo

• Accidental Innuendo: “You must be Velma. I know your fantasy.”
• Adorkable:
  • Scrappy gets so excited that he punches himself in the face while thinking about punching the night ghoul.
  • Velma is very happy to get to be a detective with Sherlock Holmes.
• Diagnosed by the Audience: Scrappy's poor social skills despite being friendly and outgoing, and his sometimes strange perception of what goes around him, are both associated with the autism spectrum.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Scrappy's friends, Duke and Annie. They appear in a single episode, but their terrific chemistry with Scrappy, their role as his close friends before he went to be with the gang, and their developed personalities make them quite memorable.
• Franchise Original Sin: Believe it or not, as hard as it may be to imagine in retrospect, Scrappy was actually considered a welcome addition to the cast by most viewers at first. However, he quickly wore out his welcome when he got additional focus at the expense of Fred, Velma and Daphne. This meant he took on their roles, which not only clashed badly with his intended characterization, but made Shaggy and Scooby seem like complete bumbling idiots.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Scrappy's worrying about the gang sending him back to the kennel for a mistake in "Close Encounters of the Strange Kind" becomes this when the 2002 live action film has them literally kick him to the curb for bad behaviour.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: Scrappy has a few moments with Daphne in the Heartwarming Moments page. They become even sweeter with the knowledge that they're paired up in the eighties cartoons and have a very sibling-like relationship, suggesting that he's closest to her next to Scooby and Shaggy.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In "The Night Ghoul of Wonderland" the name drop for their area with robotic dinosaurs is called Jurassic World.
    • Technically even further, while the episode is clearly parodying Westworld, which was written by Michael Crichton, this episode was written years before Jurassic Park was.
    • Scrappy is excited by Outlaw World and asks if they can stop off. The next iteration of the show saw him in the Wild West with his uncle Yabba.
  • Scrappy channels Metal Gear when he gets donned with a cardboard box in the opening.
• Moral Event Horizon: The Blue Scarab crosses it when he attempts to murder Scrappy by dropping a statue on him. Later on, he traps Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy on a conveyor belt leading towards a slicing and dicing machine.
• Spoiled by the Format: Velma figures out where the crown jewels are, and the Night Ghoul robot fell into the water and malfunctioned. However, we're only eight minutes into the episode, and sure enough...
• Unintentional Period Piece: The mastermind behind the sky skeleton dresses up an actual skeleton and puts it in a plane, programming the plane to fly itself the plane, but is given a way by dropping small pieces of paper from his punch cards-an actual very old way to program computers...or self-driving biplanes, in this case.
