* ImplacableMan: Charlie the Funland Robot. Nothing can stand in his way or stop him, with even an electromagnet having a difficult time slowing him down. He's notable for being the first monster in the franchise to actually ''break out'' of the Gang's trap.

* SamusIsAGirl: An early variation. Charlie the Funland Robot isn't someone in a suit, but the one controlling him is Sarah Jenkins, an unassuming and homely woman. Being behind the machine's rampage, this makes her the franchise's first female villain, albeit not a costumed one.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Daphne explains to Shaggy Scooby's apparent aversion to eating clams, as if she is more familiar with Scooby's tastes in food. Most later episodes have Shaggy both knowing Scooby's tastes and sharing several of them. Furthermore, the idea that Scooby would be picky about what he ate is unusual. [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated A later series]] would even depict clams as Scooby's TrademarkFavoriteFood!

* RailroadTracksOfDoom: While Velma is blindly driving a runaway bumper car through Funland with Scooby, they approach a railroad crossing with the Funland Express train approaching. Since Velma's unable to stop the bumper car, she simply says "The train will have to look out for itself." Luckily they make it across the tracks at the last second, while the Funland Robot isn't so lucky (though he manages to land in one of the train cars' seats.)

* PokeThePoodle: Ms. Jenkins reprogrammed the Funland Robot to show why it would be bad for a robot to run an amusement park, but all it does walk around. A few times it even does its job properly.

Added DiffLines:

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Ms. Jenkins is behind the Funland Robot rampage, but she did it because she thought it would be a bad idea for a robot to operate rides that children would use. Mr. Jenkins agrees with her.

When the amusement park named Funland starts up out of nowhere, despite not being open for a few more weeks, the gang finds a robot running amok and sabotaging the various games and rides.

!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Funland has turned into this thanks to the robot.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: The Funland Robot is willing to hurt Scooby-Doo when chasing him through the park. When they go into the park's wax museum, the robot mistakes a stuffed taxidermy wolf for Scooby and starts shaking it until it breaks (the real Scooby was disguised as a neanderthal with a club, and thus escaped without a scratch.)
* BlindWithoutEm: Velma loses her glasses when ''driving a runaway bumper car'', [[DrivesLikeCrazy bringing things]] UpToEleven.
* CartoonJuggling: The Funland Robot does the shower variety with crystal plates. He drops them and lets them shatter when the gang chases them.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Velma, when she's driving a bumper car without her glasses.
* DoAnythingRobot: The robot was programmed to run the entire park. To say things went wrong would be like saying Scooby likes a few bites of food.
* HostileAnimatronics: What the robot is revealed to be.
* KillerRobot: The robot is arguably this.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The Funland Robot.
* RailroadTracksOfDoom: While Velma is blindly driving a runaway bumper car through Funland with Scooby, they approach a railroad crossing with the Funland Express train approaching. Since Velma's unable to stop the bumper car, she simply says "The train will have to look out for itself." Luckily they make it across the tracks at the last second, while the Funland Robot isn't so lucky (though he manages to land in one of the train cars' seats.)
* RecycledSoundtrack: The Robot's electronic-sounding {{Leitmotif}} is recycled from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons''. Additionally, a circus-themed music cue that originated from ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' is also used a couple of times as the Funland rides and attractions start up and go haywire.
* RobotBuddy: What the robot is reprogrammed to be.
* StockYuck: We learn Scooby-Doo doesn't like to eat clams, unlike Shaggy.
* StopDrowningAndStandUp: Happens in the TunnelOfLove after the Funland Robot wrecks the gang's boat. Shaggy swims around desperately while claiming he will save the gang, but comes up to Velma standing in the knee-high water and suggesting they just walk out.
* TestYourStrengthGame: Shaggy and Scooby come across one in Funland. Shaggy is unable to ring the bell, but Scooby is able to with his PrehensileTail. And then the Funland Robot hits it so hard he breaks the striker.
