History Fridge / ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated

** According to WordOfGod, she has several {{Ambiguous Disorder}}s.

** Ricky also seems to have been the driver/owner of their team's Enigma Machine, so "Mr. E" might've been a reference to him being the van guy.

* The gang's relationship troubles divided them. In other words the series shows [[IncrediblyLamePun the gang]] [[LetsSplitUpGang splitting up.]]

* Fred continued to use [[spoiler: the last name Jones, even after he found out the truth about being kidnapped as a child by Fred Jones Sr. Now, in the new timeline, he'll probably keep getting in trouble for using a fake name. He is and has always been Fred ''Chiles'' according to this reality, and all his legal documentations will reflect this. But he's still going to think of himself as Fred ''Jones'']]

** [[spoiler: The new universe more or less rebuilds itself to leave a suitable space for the gang. It's possible that it altered history enough that Brad ''Chiles'' was Brad ''Jones'' instead, by having one of Brad's ancestors change his name to match a stepfather's or something.]]

** The women in the photo is reveiled to be... [[spoiler:a picture that Mayor jones got from a magazine, no relation to either Fred Jones.]]

* Velma's bored recitation of Crystal Cove history in the pilot episode gains a ''lot'' of Fridge upon rewatch: [[spoiler: ''all three'' of the historical calamities she mentions are directly pertinent to the series metaplot]].

* In "Grim Judgement", the soccer players' demonstration of historical ignorance at the end makes perfect sense, because [[spoiler: it explains why they'd choose a pilgrim as their mutual ghost-identity, despite being on ''the West Coast'' where there never were any.]]

* The criminal's identity in "The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals" being [[spoiler: The Funky Phantom]] makes so much sense in hindsight. After all, usually the criminal is [[spoiler: someone pretending to be a ghost]].

* It sure was lucky that Aphodite's love potion [[NoSell didnt have an effect on animals]] thereby allowing Scooby and [[spoiler:Pericles]] to gather the ingredients for a cure. Given the reveal [[spoiler: that Pericles was the one who sent Aphodite the information on how to make the potion, this makes sense. He wouldn't want the potion to affect HIM after all, and he needed Scooby's help to haul the items he really wanted away, even if the dog didn't know what he was carrying in his pack.]]

* Why is this incarnation's Fred so obsessed with traps? [[spoiler: For the same reason that he exhaustively keeps track of Daphne's schedule. From an earlier age, he's been told by his "father" that his mother abandoned Fred when they were younger, leading Fred to obsess over something that will keep his loved ones close and keep them from leaving him i.e. traps. Also functions as a Fridge TearJerker.]]

* Grim Judgement: There's a crack in Hebidiah Grim's facade of G-rated SlutShaming. While he attacks girls because of their necklines, make-up, and Leg exposure, he doesn't attack Velma and declares her to be un-tempting. If he was a crazed Puritan Judge attacking people for those reasons, he would have gone after her for exposing her legs. [[spoiler: The reason he didn't was because Gary and Ethan don't find her attractive.]]
** This also addresses Mayor Nettles being targeted. [[spoiler: Ethan and Gary would hardly be the first teen boys to be into [[LikesOlderWomen mature]] women with authority.]]

* In the [[spoiler: new timeline]] that emerges in the [[spoiler: final episode]], the gang go off to [[spoiler: it is heavily implied, [[HereWeGoAgain relive]] the lives and adventures of WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou.]] One of that series' great mysteries was how in blazes [[spoiler: the kids rode around with no concerns about money for food and gas. This new timeline, with even wealthier parents and multiple contest winnings for all of them, finally puts that to rest.]]
* The [[spoiler: series finale]] finally gives a justification for why the Gang was WalkingTheEarth. They were on their way to meet up with Mr. E and were simply solving the mysteries they've come across.
* Did anyone else notice the physical similarities between the [[spoiler: Nibiru Entity-possessed Professor Pericles]] and Char Gar Gothakon? Considering [[spoiler: Harlan Ellison apparently developed supernatural powers from years of writing fiction, perhaps the idea that H.P. Hatecraft could see creatures from other dimensions isn't as far-fetched as it seems.]] Extra fridge bonus when you remember that the [[spoiler: Nibiru Entity's real name was never revealed]]. Now what was the name of Hatecraft's book, again? Char Gar Gothakon: ''The Beast with No Name''.

* How did Mr. E sneak a message into Shaggy's sealed bag of chips without him knowing? At the time, it seems like some serious ninja magic, but given what we learn later on it makes perfect sense: [[spoiler: he owns the company that manufactures them.]]

** Jabberjaw could be a descendant of a shark that got possessed by an Anunnaki. [[spoiler: Likewise Boo the cat.]]

* Thanks to [[spoiler:the Nibiru Entity's malign influence]], Scooby's predecessors within the various Mystery Gangs have a long history of [[spoiler: betraying their human companions]] out of uncontrolled greed for [[spoiler:the Disc pieces and/or the treasure]]. Scooby-Doo ''seems'' to be entirely immune to this effect... except that he ''does'' have greed as one of his most salient traits, not just in this series but throughout the franchise. It's just that in ''his'' case, it's greed for '''food''', not wealth. The freakin' [[spoiler: Nibiru Entity]] aimed its mind-corrupting powers at his dog-brain's "want-stuff" neurons, but hit his "want-food" neurons by accident!

* Brad and Judy [[spoiler: becoming pregnant with Fred]] two years after they left Crystal Cove at the age when they could have been in college or possibly ''still in high school'' sounds like something you'd hear in a movie about teens or young adults with miserable lives leaving their home to try to figure things out on their own, which makes this another play on the teen genre that ''Mystery Incorporated'' keeps poking at.

* In the pilot episode, we see a museum showing the costumes of some of Mystery Incorporated's RoguesGallery, including Charlie the Funland Robot. Unlike the other villains, Charlie wasn't a man in a costume, he was an actual android. At the end of his debut episode, he gets reprogrammed to act more friendly. This implies that even after his redemption, his creator, the caretaker, eventually shut him down for good and sold him to a museum. [[spoiler: Of course, Charlie later comes out of retirement...]]
* With the reveal of [[spoiler:The Evil Entity corrupting everyone close to the gang, as well as their predescessors]], Scrappy and Flim-Flam's presence in the spook museum. Considering Flim-Flam is a pre-teen con artist, while Scrappy is an over-achieving BoisterousWeakling, they'd probably give Mystery Inc. more to deal with besides the treasure. [[spoiler: The Entity probably corrupted these two and ruined their relationship with the gang (and by extension their cousins) to keep them out of the way.]]

* Episode 26 has Shaggy's mom telling her son that they're taking Scooby to a farm while [[spoiler: He goes to military school, and it's revealed that this "farm" was the pound.]] That means that in this universe it is legal to completely uproot a creature with human intelligence (who can even talk), possibly never seeing their loved ones again, simply because you don't want them anymore. One wonders how they would treat the mentally ill...

* In the haunted mansion episode, [[spoiler: the youngest and only surviving member of the Darrow family lived alone for years, claiming his family died over time]]. What happened to [[spoiler: the bodies]]? Did they really [[spoiler: die over time]]? or was it that [[spoiler: they all died at the same time and his memories blocked it out?]]
** Not only that, but [[spoiler: families as wealthy as the Darrows and living in that era would surely have had live-in servants around the place; indeed, keeping up such a big mansion would've been impossible without some. Whatever became of ''them''?]]

* Notable because it was intentional. When [[spoiler:Alice May]] was caught, she revealed that she was the daughter of the Creeper from the original series, and is trying to avenge him. In her flashback, it shows her as a young girl when the gang caught her father, when she is the same age as they are. It is revealed that [[spoiler: the whole story is fabricated as she is employed by Mr. E. They expected the gang to realize the FridgeLogic in a few days. Ironically, they [[TooDumbToLive don't]], and still refer to her as the Creeper's daughter when they see her again. It must have taken all Alice May had not to laugh at them there and then]].

** Well the series [[spoiler: ends with the entire gang being enroled into Miskatonic University, and yes, Scooby was specifically mentioned]]. Apparently talking animals can go to school with people.

* Episode 26 has Mayor Jones stare sadly at a picture of his wife/Fred's mom. We later find out that [[spoiler: she's from a magazine and Mayor Jones was never married. Fred was stolen from Brad and Judy from the original Myster Inc.]] So why is he staring so lovingly? PerverseSexualLust?

** It could also be that the woman in the magazine photo actually ''was'' [[spoiler: someone he used to date, just not someone he'd ever been married to.]] It'd be easier to fake the appropriate emotions in front of Fred if that were the case, facilitating his pretense.

** [[spoiler: According to Nova/The Annuunaki, yes, there HAVE to be four Humans and an animal.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, the evil entity is the one that makes it that way. It was manipulating the gang's actions in kicking Marcie out.]]
* How on Earth did the conquistadors make or find that multiple layer inter-dimensional hiding place / prison under Crystal Cove for their treasure?
** [[spoiler: The good Anunnaki could have helped them.]] One way it could have happened is described in the fanfiction story ''Fanfic/DiskMania''.
* [[spoiler: Since in the new "universe" without the Entity all the crooks from Crystal Cove never used monster masks, what happened with Gatorville? Were they influenced too by the Entity or if not did they still disguise themselves as Gators?]]
** [[spoiler: They were probably close enough to be influenced. And there might not have even been a Gatorville, if the gators were a supernatural side-effect of the Entity's presence.]]
* [[spoiler: Since all the ScoobyDooHoax cases were created by the Evil Entity, how can they expect to find any mysteries of the sort they enjoy on the road at all? Logically speaking, they should find nothing but ordinary crimes (and few of those if no WeirdnessMagnet is in operation for them, and people don't have any reason to ask for their help based on their reputation). This should not be the start of WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou, but of a long period of boring disappointment for the gang. Perhaps Nova or other good Anunnaki will intervene to give them cases.]]
** [[spoiler: Mystery Incorporated shares a setting with Johnny Quest and the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. There's still weirdness and out and about. Besides, while the Evil Entity is gone, that doesn't mean that other threats won't come forward. The new Mr. E, at least, seemed to think he had some work for the gang.]]
** [[spoiler: There may be some remnants of the original universe. Mystery Inc. (and Harlan Ellison) remember it, after all. The monsters the gang discovered before the series began (the Creeper, Charlie the Robot, the Space Kook, etc.) still do turn up in the new universe, just scattered throughout the country and the world. The world itself is still recognizable despite the retroactive change of hundreds of years of history. The concept of dressing up like a monster to hide your crimes may be a part of the human consciousness, even if the costumes are far less convincing now.]]
** [[spoiler: Possibly the Nibiru Entity wasn't actually responsible for making all those criminals dress up like monsters; rather, it was responsible for them converging ''on Crystal Cove'' to do so. It concentrated a social phenomenon that was already happening.]]

*** Keeping in mind that [[spoiler: other universes have existed, with Fred's last name being Jones in them]], it's hard to imagine that his first name would change.

* In the last episode, who are the ones that run the longest before getting caught? [[spoiler:Shaggy and Scooby, the two that [[CowardlyLion run the most]].]]
** Additionally, [[spoiler:Shaggy]] being so acrobatic while dodging so many robots hearkens back to the very first episode of the original WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou, which stated that they were a member of the high school gymnastics team.

** Since Shaggy and Scooby are TrueCompanions Yantz may have quickly figured out that being separated from Scooby would leave Shaggy too distracted (at least, more so than usual) to pay attention in class. So Yantz decided to go with the lesser of two evils.

** Since Shaggy and Scooby are [[True Companions]] Yantz may have quickly figured out that being separated from Scooby would leave Shaggy too distracted (at least, more so than usual) to pay attention in class. So Yantz decided to go with the lesser of two evils.

* Why does Shaggy put up with Velma's abusive and controlling tendencies towards him during their relationship? That's how his mom treats him and [[HenpeckedHusband his dad]], so [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror he was used to it]] and/or [[AdultFear thought it was normal.]]

* Velma's bored recitation of Crystal Cove history gains a lot of Fridge upon rewatch: [[spoiler: ''all three'' of the historical calamities she mentions are directly pertinent to the series metaplot]].

** There's also how in Episode 11, it was Velma who said: "I guess we're not a team anymore". [[spoiler:Who was the one who caused the gang to drift apart in episodes 25 and 26?]]

*** Which then makes her NotSoDifferent from Mayor Jones, since the both of them care greatly about their careers and didn't want a kid in the first place. But considering that Mayor Jones, for all his neglect of Fred, ''actually tried to be a good father'' while the mother of their child up and left early on and knowingly shifted the responsibilities of parenthood to someone who was in the same situation as her makes you wonder if she even wanted to put in any effort at all. This would also be an [[ItsAllAboutMe unsurprising]] [[AmbitionIsEvil revelation]] of [[BirdsOfAFeather his taste in romantic partners]]. On the other hand, it reflects how Fred's mother is a product of Mayor Jones's lies.

* You'd think that the disappearance of the first Mystery Incorporated would've been more well known in Crystal Cove to the point that even twenty years later, someone would have recognized their signature locket and remember how there was a mystery-solving group before the recent one. For example, you'd think that someone like Sheriff Stone (who is said to have been in the police force for at least 27 years) would have said something. However, remember that Crystal Cove is full of ApatheticCitizens, and it should also be noted that [[RealityEnsues it doesn't seem to be the kind of small town where everyone knows each other]]. In addition, it would seem that since the first Mystery Incorporated were more of a school club formed out of boredness and the fact that they didn't make as much of a name as their successors (ex. they didn't unmask monsters terrorizing the town; instead, they probably solved minor trivial mysteries) probably made their disappearance a forgettable headline. Not to mention that in this show, the present day takes place in an amalgam of the 1970's/2010's, so preserving the knowledge of missing persons from the 1950's might not have been as careful as it is in modern day.

* Mayor Jones is what would happen if a ''Scooby-Doo'' villain was [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious enough]] and [[RealityEnsues used very real strategies]] to get what they want, and ''[[TheBadGuyWins get away with it]]'' for the next couple of decades. Do you really expect a ''Scooby-Doo'' villain in any other incarnation to blackmail our heroes -- ''children'' -- into incommunicado from their offscreen families, use chloroform to set up a FrameUp, and ''kidnap'' a baby while threatening to hurt it? Not to mention the fact that, like every ''Scooby-Doo'' villain, he's the friendly stranger-turned-new-ally that the kids meet at the beginning of the episode, only to it to turn out that he was the villain-of-the-week... except the original Mystery Incorporated never gets to that part and it stays in 'friendly ally' territory for the new Mystery Incorporated for a long time until the Season 1 finale.
