** The show in-and-of itself is a meta-example. It's 52 episodes long, with two 26-episode seasons (the traditional setup for an anime). It also has a very tight MythArc, and is (barring ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland) the MostTriumphantExample of DarkerAndEdgier in the ScoobyDoo universe than anything else.

** In the season 2 premiere, the only slightly competent adult is the new mayor, who immediately agrees [[spoiler:on the disguised Velma's advice]] to help get Mystery Inc back together to deal with a new threat to Crystal Cove. Every other adult is completely useless, holding out for a hero, and immediately willing to pay off the villain to go away.

The disguised Velma then rescues Fred from being blown up by the Crybaby Clown before revealing herself. Daphne has a new boyfriend and now she thinks mystery solving was all a waste of time.]]

* AmbulanceCut
* AnachronismStew: At the Ren Faire in episode 8, a number of people attend the medieval event as ''pirates''. The staff are none too happy about this.
** The show itself is stylistically set in what looks to be the 60s or 70s, vinyl records and the like have their place but such futuristic marvels like cassette players, compact discs and cellphones make appearances. Despite the presence of Laptops, desktops by in large are bulky and resember computers from the early 80's.
* {{Animesque}}: Watch the "Trap Of Love" music video and tell me it doesn't look like gothic lolita anime.
* AnswerCut: In Episode 8 when the Queen says they must keep out the pirates because "Who knows what shambling low-lives will arrive?". Enter Shaggy and Scooby dressed as pirates.
* AnArc: For the first time since ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'', there's an underlying/overarching plot going on in the background of the otherwise episodic mysteries.
* ArcWelding: Happens more and more frequently as the show goes on.
* ArcWords: "This has all happened before", [[spoiler:"Nibiru..."]] and [[spoiler: "The dog dies.."]]
* ArtEvolution: The characters designs are done in a much sharper, more stylistically simplistic way than ever before. Lampshaded in the second episode, when Daphne out of the blue asks Velma what happened to her hair.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Conquistadors' Treasure and the Planispheric Disk that leads to it are implied to be the reason Crystal Cove is cursed. There is some evidence that the curse may be real [[spoiler:in "The Hodag of Horror" one piece manipulates its owner so it can be reunited with the others.]]
** [[spoiler: A Conquistador's spirit appears at the end of episode 34 once the gang takes off with the fifth piece. The spirit slowly disappears as it laughs, so yes, there could be a menacing curse.]]
** [[spoiler: And it's all coming together...the centerpiece of the Conquistadors' Treasure, on which Crystal Cove was founded upon, is a SealedEvilInACan, who has cursed the Disk to corrupt people and animals into seeking out all the pieces and finding the treasure, unleashing him from imprisonment, and causing ''doomsday'' to happen.]]

* BedlamHouse: [[ShoutOut Animal Asylum]] [[Franchise/{{Batman}} For the Criminally Insane.]]
* BerserkButton: Don't use "like" in a grammatically incorrect fashion in Harlan Ellison's presence. Or ask him about H.P. Hatecraft.
** Although the Hatecraft thing is debatable. [[spoiler: The two are planning to write a book together after the Char Gar Gothikon thing has been dealt with.]]

** BigBadDuumvirate: Professor Pericles and Mr. E in the second season.
** BiggerBad: [[spoiler:Nibiru, the SealedEvilInACan that's the source of the Curse of Crystal Cove.]]
* BigEater: Shaggy and Scooby, of course.
** Daphne at the end of Episode 19, after not eating anything all day. Shaggy even remarks that this is the one time anyone has eaten more than him or Scooby.
* BigFancyHouse: Daphne's residence, naturally. Though it's interesting to note that in this incarnation, ''all'' of the lead characters come from wealthy families.
* BiggerOnTheInside: Lampshaded type 1, for the locker that is "big enough" for the huge Man-Crab costume.
* BigNo: Fred has one after it is revealed that the rest of the team won't go to the Mystery Solving contest due to Scooby being sick.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Daphne alludes to the Blakes being this, what with family meetings with shrinks and her mom being temporarily committed.
** [[spoiler: Fred's family is incredibly screwed up. His adopted father turned out to be a villain, who was only keeping him around as leverage to keep his actual parents at bay. However, his actual parents aren't much better as they made no attempt to contact him during their exile and, it's strongly implied they are just using him to get to the treasure.]]
* BlindWithoutEm: Velma in episode 32. She even lampshades it after Randy Warsaw removes her glasses with the idea of her being an art inspiration and she looks at herself in a mirror.
-->'''Velma:''' I look hot blurry!
* BMovie: The [[VincentPrice Vincent Van Ghoul]] movies. He's starred in at least 400, we can assume they were cranked out fast and on a low budget. Their titles include ''[[TheFly The Mutant Bee]]'', ''[[TheAbominableDrPhibes The Repellant Dr. Phobos]]'' (Doubles as a bit of ActorAllusion) and ''[[HauntedCastle The Castle of Gummy Discharge]]''.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Happens to EVERYONE of the main cast in the finale. [[DownerEnding Yeah.]]]]
* BreatherEpisode: Episode 40, with Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. Mind you, Blue Falcon is a walking homage to Franchise/{{Batman}} as written by FrankMiller, but the whole thing is basically played for laughs and but for a sole scene has no immediate effect on the rest of the series.
* BroadStrokes: Contains many echoes of the original series in a modern setting.
* BrownBagMask: Sheriff Stone dons one to conceal his identity after he loses his job in "Dead Justice".
* ByWallThatIsHoley: During the Humongonaut fight in episode 9.
* CallBack: This may or may not be intentional, but in episode 41, "Theater of the Doomed," [[spoiler: the ghost of the friar warns them to heed the alligator's warning, and says "The dog dies" before vanishing. In episode 2, "The Creeping Creatures," the episode with the alligator monsters, the gang visits The Drowsy Gator. Pool, Food and Sundries. Certain letters in the neon sign die out to spell "The dog dies." ]]
* TheCameo:
** [[TheFlintstones Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm]] make an appearance at the beginning of episode four.
** Yogi Bear shows up at the end of Episode 10.
** WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest and the gang show up Episode 25. WordOfGod says they'll show up again in the second season.
** A ''Mystery Incorporated'' version of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Sari Sumdac]] shows up in a crowd shot of "The Hodag of Horror" and again in a flashback near the end of the episode.
* CampGay: The Hex Girls' manager in episode 7.
** And the play director in episode 41.
* CanYouHearMeNow: Subverted. The gang has cell phones that work when they are stranded in Gatorsburg, but [[spoiler: they reach indifferent parents who are unwilling to help]].
* CaptainColorbeard: Scooby uses the pirate name 'Dogbeard' in "The Grasp of the Gnome".
* CaptainErsatz: Mr. E's van, the Enigma Machine, is a dark, poorly painted version of the gang's Mystery Machine.
* CarMeetsHouse: In "Mystery Solvers Club State Finals", Principal Quinlan gets into her office by driving SpeedBuggy through the wall. Of course, it is a FeverDreamEpisode.
* TheCastShowoff: Daphne gets to sing, not one, but TWO songs in the episode "In Fear Of The Phantom". GreyDeLisle knocks both right out of the park.
* CatchPhrase: The old standards appear.
** Velma - "Jinkies!"
** Shaggy - "Zoinks!"
** Scooby Doo - "Scooby Dooby Doo!"
** Professor Pericles uses "Hello, Children!" each time he meets the gang.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Lampshaded.
* CerebusRetcon: Freddy's motive for his trap addiction; [[spoiler:Mayor Jones lied to him saying that his mother left them and Fred thinks that traps keep people from running away]]. Essentially [[spoiler:Mayor Jones' humorous neglect gets this when its revealed that he is basically keeping Fred his hostage]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Rampant throughout this series, in the case of both Mystery Inc. and the supporting characters.
** A subtle example would be Velma's parents. In the first few episodes, they appeared to be just as thoughtless as the other parents, but as the show progressed the gang would go to Velma's mom for advice on the supernatural. She even helps them during a case involving a headless zombie, and once offered to "take care" of Shaggy after he chose Scooby over Velma (she was kidding). Granted, Velma's mom still got in a couple of snarky comments here and there, but her reveal that she actually reads Velma's blog is something you'd expect of a typical parent. And, by the disastrous events of the last episode, the Dinkleys are the only parents shown comforting their child and not making the situation worse.
* CityOfAdventure: Crystal Cove.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Not just the Man-Crab, but every villain in costume seems to gain awesome agility and strength.
* CluelessDetective:
** About half the time, the gang's leads are off and they learn who the monster is at the same time the audience does. Jason even calls them out on jumping to conclusions when they accuse him in Episode 10.
** Episode 2. There are only 3 people in this ghost town. There are 3 alligator people scaring visitors away. Who could the alligator people possibly be?
** [[spoiler: Everyone except Velma in episode 33. She's the only one who suspects the cemetery groundskeeper to be the Graveyard Ghoul, which it turns out to be, and nobody else believed her.]]
* CluelessMystery: Episode 15.
* CodeName: Episode 31 [[spoiler: has the gang communicating via walkie-talkie with the code names "Smart Girl" (Velma), "Smokin' Hottie" (Daphne) and "Scarf Boy" (Fred).]]
* ComedicSociopathy: After causing a patient to flat-line due to a panic attack, all the gang merely walks out with Freddy commenting that the questioning had gone well.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Daphne's mother mentions that she's been taking night classes to become a notary, and states that knowledge is more important than beauty. Then she says that she's going to find out what a "notary" actually is before the final.
* ComplimentBackfire: "Oh Velma, you're very pleasant when you aren't trying to be smarter than everyone else."
* ConspicuousCG: Most non-human motion tends to do this, especially moving cars.
* ContinuityNod: Bordering on AlternateContinuity Nod, to boot.
** Velma's family owns a museum filled with "monsters" that have haunted Crystal Cove - many of which the gang has debunked.
*** In fact, in the pilot she's guiding a tour through the museum, and is reprimanded by her parents for ruining the tour by revealing who was under the masks when they were finally caught.
** Episode 6 can be considered a huge one of these, considering [[spoiler: the villain is Alice May, who poses as Alice Carlswell, daughter of the gang's iconic villain "The Creeper"]].
** An in-series nod in Episode 10. The Mystery Machine runs out of gas and slows down, and Daphne says "Don't tell me the engine is missing again!" referring to when Mr. E removed it in episode 2.
** Another in-series nod in Episode 15. After the cold open, the episode starts off at the Tiki nightclub, where Sheriff Stone congratulates Mayor Jones for re-opening the club after it was destroyed by the Humongonauts from Episode 9.
** Yet another in-series nod in Episode 20; simply put, Scooby still has no idea what, if anything, Skipper Shelton is talking about.
** More in-series references: The two teens who got abducted from Episode 4's Man-Crab reappear as victims of the Manticore. As well as the owner of the amusement park wondering how they're going to sell their stock of Que Horrifico shirts and Char Gar Gothikon plushies.
** Episode 24 has Daphne worry whether her seafood allergy from Episode 4 will act up with all the oysters around.
** Episode 25 not only has Hatecraft show up again, [[spoiler: Alice May is back messing with the gang in a different costume.]]
** Episode 38 has the gang visiting the local jail. Watch the background; every inmate is one of the previous villains.
* CoolCar: The Mystery Machine, especially with the improbable moves it pulled out against the ghost truck, as well as the rather impossible jump-flips it did while trying to shake off the Fright Hound.
** And that's not to mention the Enigma Engine from the previous Mystery Inc. Gang.
* CowboyEpisode: "Dead Justice"
* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: In one episode, Fred rescue Daphne from the rising water of a [[DeathTrap swimming pool]]. Fred ask her if she's alright. Daphne, who is unharmed, take advantage of the situation and tells Fred to give her CPR. [[ChasteHero It doesn't work.]]
* CrazyPrepared: In Episode 21, Fred explains to Velma that he gave the Planespheric disc piece [[spoiler: to Shaggy and Scooby cause they'd be the last person to have it.]] Episode 26 reveals that Shaggy and Scooby do have it in a bed/fridge that they keep in the case that they don't get an evening snack before bed.
* {{Crossover}}: "The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals" features Scooby-Doo teaming up with the sidekicks from ''WesternAnimation/SpeedBuggy'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheFunkyPhantom'' and ''WesternAnimation/CaptainCavemanAndTheTeenAngels''.
** Episode 25 reveals that [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Quest Laboratories]] is a subsidiary of Destroido. And episode 38 shows that Destroido is owned by Ricky Owens/Mr. E.
** Season 2 is set to feature more of the Quest family, along with [[DynomuttDogWonder Dynomutt and Blue Falcon]] (those two will appear in episode 40).
** Episode 37 features Tom and Tubb from the old Moby-Dick cartoons, along with their pet seal, [[NamesTheSame also named Scooby]] (Moby has been reimagined as a whale-shaped sub). And their fathers are referred to as being [[SealabTwentyTwenty Paul Williams and Michael Murphy]].
** In a recent commercial at AMC Theaters, the Gang find the one guy who didn't turn off his cell phone: [[WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow Daffy Duck]].
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass:
** Say what you will about Fred when it comes to teenage life, but he shows total competence when there is a mystery to be solved.
** Scooby and Shaggy. They're still the lovable cowards, but both of them will go and stop the monsters roaming around town.
* FiveFiveFive: A radio version - Angel Dynamite's station is the extremely impossible AM 104.2.
* AchillesInHisTent: [[spoiler: Episode 26: When Fred realizes that his [[WasItAllALie whole life has been a lie]], he leaves town and declares Mystery Incorporated to be dead. Good thing for him and the gang that Mr E has [[TheDeterminator Scooby]] pegged; once he works out his issues, the title character will speed along [[TenMinuteRetirement the process of getting things back to normal]]]].
* ActorAllusion: This isn't the first time PatrickWarburton play a [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy lawman.]]
** In Episode 4, David Faustino plays a down-on-his-luck guy named Bud. [[MarriedWithChildren Huh, where have we seen that one before?]]
** The mother of Velma's StalkerWithACrush Jason is played by Jessica Walter, who played one herself in ''PlayMistyForMe''.
** In episode 18, James Hong's character takes on the guise of a [[BigTroubleInLittleChina powerful Chinese wizard]].
*** [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures James Hong as a Chinese wizard, you say?]]
*** [[Series/{{Charmed}} Yes, we do.]]
** Of course, the Creator/HPLovecraft {{Expy}} is played by JeffreyCombs.
** From "The Night the Clown Cried", Crybaby Clown is voiced by MarkHamill, who has [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker much experience]] with voicing clowns.
*** Crybaby Clown also seems like an allusion to Hamill's role as Macendale/Hobgoblin on ''WesternAnimation/{{Spider-Man The Animated Series}}'', since the villain is more practical-minded than Joker, and both [[spoiler:are shallow pretty-boys who romance the local rich girl who is fed up with her distracted ex/potential beau and turn to destructive crime waves in the name of money/fame. Both Daphne and Felicia Hardy are made to feel like fools when their date is unmasked.]]
** Early on in season two, Velma seems to have become pretty good friends with Hot Dog Water. It probably doesn't hurt Hot Dog Water's voice actress Linda Cardellini has a bit of a [[Film/ScoobyDoo past relationship]] [[Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed with Velma]]...
** Ricky Owens's teenage voice actor was Scott Menville who played Shaggy in ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal:
** Daphne and her sisters: Daisy, Dawn, Dorothy, and Delilah.
** In Episode 12, HarlanEllison spouts out a paragraph about the monster, full of "f" words (but not ''the'' [[PrecisionFStrike F Word]]).
* AdrenalineMakeover: Principal Quinlen in "The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals". She starts off as very nervous and upset but the frantic pace and perils of the mystery causes her to lose her ponytail, glasses, and the top buttons of her blouse, and gains a more adventurous attitude.
* AdultChild: Sheriff Stone, complete with personality as well as wearing kiddy pajamas with a police style bed.
* AdultsAreUseless: In Episode 2 none of the parents can give the kids a ride home, for reasons such as "I just got comfortable" and "It's dark out there". The kids were stranded alone in a small suspicious town that had recently been having people disappear.
** Not all adults are. Velma's mom knows a lot about the supernatural and the gang goes there when they don't have a lead on monsters. And in episode 25, Professor Hatecraft helps the kids [[spoiler: even going as far as to stand up to the monster of the week.]]
** In the season 2 premiere, the only slightly competent adult is the new mayor, who immediately agrees [[spoiler:on the disguised Velma's advice]] to help get Mystery Inc back together to deal with a new threat to Crystal Cove. Every other adult is completely useless, holding out for a hero, and immediately willing to pay off the villain to go away.
* AffectionateParody: The second half of episode 10 is a shameless parody of the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' films. Several shots are almost identical to those used in the film, such as [[spoiler: only half of the Fright Hound's face being pulled off]] or [[spoiler: the fully robotic body rising out of the fire, without a scratch on it.]] Oh yeah, and there's also the mech from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}s''.
* AllJustADream: The events of [[spoiler:"The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals"]].
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Velma and Daphne are having serious problems with Shaggy and Fred, respectively.
** Episode 24: [[spoiler: Fred finally gets the message. He proposes to Daphne.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 26 gets Daphne to reveal they are engaged but when Fred finds out about his past, let's just say that these two won't be married for quite some time.]]
** Episode 30: [[spoiler: Daphne now simply wants to be friends with Fred.]]
** Episode 31: [[spoiler: Scooby falls for Brad and Judy's cocker spaniel Nova, and he asks the two people about love that he shouldn't: Fred and Velma.]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The locals treat the gang as, at best, a nuisance and, at worst, a group of destructive vigilantes owing to their inconvenient habit of saving a town filled with stupid, submissive and greedy jackasses from themselves.
** As Velma states in the season 2 premiere, "The town hates us when we're not needed, cheers us when we are".
* AllUpToYou: Scooby Doo and the other non-human {{sidekick}}s have to solve the mystery when the teenage sleuths are abducted in "The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals".
** Taken literally in Episode 26. [[spoiler: The gang has broken up due to Fred going to find who he is, Daphne chewing out Velma for her keeping Angel's identity all to herself and Shaggy being sent to military school. Scooby swears to Pericles that he's going to bring the gang back together to hunt him down.]]
*** [[spoiler: Episode 27: It's Velma who has taken the initiative. Disguised as a mysterious stranger, she tells the new mayor of Crystal Cove, Janet Nettles, to get Mystery Inc. to solve the mystery of the Crybaby Clown. Scooby escapes from the farm and is rescued by Mayor Nettles, then he springs Shaggy from military school. The disguised Velma then rescues Fred from being blown up by the Crybaby Clown before revealing herself. Daphne has a new boyfriend and now she thinks mystery solving was all a waste of time.]]
*** Velma and Scooby tackle the mystery in episode 33 themselves when Fred, Shaggy and Daphne are otherwise preoccupied.
* AlmightyMom: In Episode 20, how did Velma's mom know she had a visitor in her room (which she has to keep secret since [[spoiler: the friend is a mermaid]])? Mom spies on her through her blog.
* AlmostKiss:
** Between Shaggy and Velma in Episode 2.
** In Episode 13 Daphne puckers up to kiss Fred, who suddenly gets conveniently [[LookADistraction distracted]] after seeing his dad, the Mayor.
* AlternateContinuity: Rather than follow in the footsteps of ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' or ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', the show instead focuses on a new continuity that is still a continuation of the old show, but with a few differences.
* AmbulanceCut
* AnachronismStew: At the Ren Faire in episode 8, a number of people attend the medieval event as ''pirates''. The staff are none too happy about this.
** The show itself is stylistically set in what looks to be the 60s or 70s, vinyl records and the like have their place but such futuristic marvels like cassette players, compact discs and cellphones make appearances. Despite the presence of Laptops, desktops by in large are bulky and resember computers from the early 80's.
* {{Animesque}}: Watch the "Trap Of Love" music video and tell me it doesn't look like gothic lolita anime.
* AnswerCut: In Episode 8 when the Queen says they must keep out the pirates because "Who knows what shambling low-lives will arrive?". Enter Shaggy and Scooby dressed as pirates.
* AnArc: For the first time since ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'', there's an underlying/overarching plot going on in the background of the otherwise episodic mysteries.
* ArcWelding: Happens more and more frequently as the show goes on.
* ArcWords: "This has all happened before", [[spoiler:"Nibiru..."]] and [[spoiler: "The dog dies.."]]
* ArtEvolution: The characters designs are done in a much sharper, more stylistically simplistic way than ever before. Lampshaded in the second episode, when Daphne out of the blue asks Velma what happened to her hair.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Conquistadors' Treasure and the Planispheric Disk that leads to it are implied to be the reason Crystal Cove is cursed. There is some evidence that the curse may be real [[spoiler:in "The Hodag of Horror" one piece manipulates its owner so it can be reunited with the others.]]
** [[spoiler: A Conquistador's spirit appears at the end of episode 34 once the gang takes off with the fifth piece. The spirit slowly disappears as it laughs, so yes, there could be a menacing curse.]]
** [[spoiler: And it's all coming together...the centerpiece of the Conquistadors' Treasure, on which Crystal Cove was founded upon, is a SealedEvilInACan, who has cursed the Disk to corrupt people and animals into seeking out all the pieces and finding the treasure, unleashing him from imprisonment, and causing ''doomsday'' to happen.]]
* ArtShift: Episode 14 has the cast appear [[ThickLineAnimation as they did]] [[MythologyGag in the original series.]] There also appears not to be any ConspicuousCGI.
* AsHimself: HarlanEllison voices [[SelfDeprecation an unflattering portrayal of himself]] in Episode 12.
* AsbestosFreeCereal: Destroido makes chips made of landfill waste and gummies made of lead.
* AscendedExtra: Hot Dog Water as well as Gary and Ethan.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: While not quite near 50 feet, Episode 9 features a pair of creatures dubbed Humungonauts.
* {{Auction}}: The ColdOpening for the eleventh episode. $34 raised, and all we see auctioned off are: front-row tickets to a ladies roller derby, and a [[InsistentTerminology spoooooky]] painting.
* BabaYaga: Featured in Episode 28
* BarBrawl: Episode 15: "The Wild Brood" starts off with a bar brawl between biker-punks and the orc-like Wild Brood. Asses get kicked.
* BeardOfSorrow: [[spoiler: After the events of the Downer Ending and his continued failure to find his parents, Fred begins season two sporting his "hobo look".]]
* BedlamHouse: [[ShoutOut Animal Asylum]] [[Franchise/{{Batman}} For the Criminally Insane.]]
* BerserkButton: Don't use "like" in a grammatically incorrect fashion in Harlan Ellison's presence. Or ask him about H.P. Hatecraft.
** Although the Hatecraft thing is debatable. [[spoiler: The two are planning to write a book together after the Char Gar Gothikon thing has been dealt with.]]
* BigBad: The first season's is revealed to be [[spoiler: Mayor Jones]].
** BigBadEnsemble: The abovementioned [[spoiler: Mayor Jones]] and Professor Pericles in the first season.
** BigBadDuumvirate: Professor Pericles and Mr. E in the second season.
** BiggerBad: [[spoiler:Nibiru, the SealedEvilInACan that's the source of the Curse of Crystal Cove.]]
* BigEater: Shaggy and Scooby, of course.
** Daphne at the end of Episode 19, after not eating anything all day. Shaggy even remarks that this is the one time anyone has eaten more than him or Scooby.
* BigFancyHouse: Daphne's residence, naturally. Though it's interesting to note that in this incarnation, ''all'' of the lead characters come from wealthy families.
* BiggerOnTheInside: Lampshaded type 1, for the locker that is "big enough" for the huge Man-Crab costume.
* BigNo: Fred has one after it is revealed that the rest of the team won't go to the Mystery Solving contest due to Scooby being sick.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Daphne alludes to the Blakes being this, what with family meetings with shrinks and her mom being temporarily committed.
** [[spoiler: Fred's family is incredibly screwed up. His adopted father turned out to be a villain, who was only keeping him around as leverage to keep his actual parents at bay. However, his actual parents aren't much better as they made no attempt to contact him during their exile and, it's strongly implied they are just using him to get to the treasure.]]
* BlindWithoutEm: Velma in episode 32. She even lampshades it after Randy Warsaw removes her glasses with the idea of her being an art inspiration and she looks at herself in a mirror.
-->'''Velma:''' I look hot blurry!
* BMovie: The [[VincentPrice Vincent Van Ghoul]] movies. He's starred in at least 400, we can assume they were cranked out fast and on a low budget. Their titles include ''[[TheFly The Mutant Bee]]'', ''[[TheAbominableDrPhibes The Repellant Dr. Phobos]]'' (Doubles as a bit of ActorAllusion) and ''[[HauntedCastle The Castle of Gummy Discharge]]''.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Happens to EVERYONE of the main cast in the finale. [[DownerEnding Yeah.]]]]
* BreatherEpisode: Episode 40, with Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. Mind you, Blue Falcon is a walking homage to Franchise/{{Batman}} as written by FrankMiller, but the whole thing is basically played for laughs and but for a sole scene has no immediate effect on the rest of the series.
* BroadStrokes: Contains many echoes of the original series in a modern setting.
* BrownBagMask: Sheriff Stone dons one to conceal his identity after he loses his job in "Dead Justice".
* ByWallThatIsHoley: During the Humongonaut fight in episode 9.
* CallBack: This may or may not be intentional, but in episode 41, "Theater of the Doomed," [[spoiler: the ghost of the friar warns them to heed the alligator's warning, and says "The dog dies" before vanishing. In episode 2, "The Creeping Creatures," the episode with the alligator monsters, the gang visits The Drowsy Gator. Pool, Food and Sundries. Certain letters in the neon sign die out to spell "The dog dies." ]]
* TheCameo:
** [[TheFlintstones Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm]] make an appearance at the beginning of episode four.
** Yogi Bear shows up at the end of Episode 10.
** WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest and the gang show up Episode 25. WordOfGod says they'll show up again in the second season.
** A ''Mystery Incorporated'' version of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Sari Sumdac]] shows up in a crowd shot of "The Hodag of Horror" and again in a flashback near the end of the episode.
* CampGay: The Hex Girls' manager in episode 7.
** And the play director in episode 41.
* CanYouHearMeNow: Subverted. The gang has cell phones that work when they are stranded in Gatorsburg, but [[spoiler: they reach indifferent parents who are unwilling to help]].
* CaptainColorbeard: Scooby uses the pirate name 'Dogbeard' in "The Grasp of the Gnome".
* CaptainErsatz: Mr. E's van, the Enigma Machine, is a dark, poorly painted version of the gang's Mystery Machine.
* CarMeetsHouse: In "Mystery Solvers Club State Finals", Principal Quinlan gets into her office by driving SpeedBuggy through the wall. Of course, it is a FeverDreamEpisode.
* TheCastShowoff: Daphne gets to sing, not one, but TWO songs in the episode "In Fear Of The Phantom". GreyDeLisle knocks both right out of the park.
* CatchPhrase: The old standards appear.
** Velma - "Jinkies!"
** Shaggy - "Zoinks!"
** Scooby Doo - "Scooby Dooby Doo!"
** Professor Pericles uses "Hello, Children!" each time he meets the gang.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Lampshaded.
* CerebusRetcon: Freddy's motive for his trap addiction; [[spoiler:Mayor Jones lied to him saying that his mother left them and Fred thinks that traps keep people from running away]]. Essentially [[spoiler:Mayor Jones' humorous neglect gets this when its revealed that he is basically keeping Fred his hostage]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Rampant throughout this series, in the case of both Mystery Inc. and the supporting characters.
** A subtle example would be Velma's parents. In the first few episodes, they appeared to be just as thoughtless as the other parents, but as the show progressed the gang would go to Velma's mom for advice on the supernatural. She even helps them during a case involving a headless zombie, and once offered to "take care" of Shaggy after he chose Scooby over Velma (she was kidding). Granted, Velma's mom still got in a couple of snarky comments here and there, but her reveal that she actually reads Velma's blog is something you'd expect of a typical parent. And, by the disastrous events of the last episode, the Dinkleys are the only parents shown comforting their child and not making the situation worse.
* CityOfAdventure: Crystal Cove.

* CluelessDetective:
** About half the time, the gang's leads are off and they learn who the monster is at the same time the audience does. Jason even calls them out on jumping to conclusions when they accuse him in Episode 10.
** Episode 2. There are only 3 people in this ghost town. There are 3 alligator people scaring visitors away. Who could the alligator people possibly be?
** [[spoiler: Everyone except Velma in episode 33. She's the only one who suspects the cemetery groundskeeper to be the Graveyard Ghoul, which it turns out to be, and nobody else believed her.]]
* CluelessMystery: Episode 15.
* CodeName: Episode 31 [[spoiler: has the gang communicating via walkie-talkie with the code names "Smart Girl" (Velma), "Smokin' Hottie" (Daphne) and "Scarf Boy" (Fred).]]
* ComedicSociopathy: After causing a patient to flat-line due to a panic attack, all the gang merely walks out with Freddy commenting that the questioning had gone well.

** Velma's family owns a museum filled with "monsters" that have haunted Crystal Cove - many of which the gang has debunked.
*** In fact, in the pilot she's guiding a tour through the museum, and is reprimanded by her parents for ruining the tour by revealing who was under the masks when they were finally caught.

** Episode 24 has Daphne worry whether her seafood allergy from Episode 4 will act up with all the oysters around.
** Episode 25 not only has Hatecraft show up again, [[spoiler: Alice May is back messing with the gang in a different costume.]]
** Episode 38 has the gang visiting the local jail. Watch the background; every inmate is one of the previous villains.
* CoolCar: The Mystery Machine, especially with the improbable moves it pulled out against the ghost truck, as well as the rather impossible jump-flips it did while trying to shake off the Fright Hound.
