* CaptainErsatz: Mr. E's van, the Enigma Machine, is a dark, poorly painted version of the gang's Mystery Machine.

** From "The Night the Clown Cried", Crybaby Clown is voiced by Creator/MarkHamill ([[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]]), who has [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker much experience]] with voicing clowns.

[[folder:A]]

* ArtShift: Episode 14 has the cast appear [[ThickLineAnimation as they did]] [[MythologyGag in the original series]]. There also appears not to be any ConspicuousCGI.

* ConspicuousCG: Most non-human motion tends to do this, especially moving cars.

* AlchemicElements: [[spoiler:The four keys that unlock the way to the treasure of Crystal Cove are themed this way (and even referred to as such by Velma), as are the strange worlds that lie beyond the gates]].

** [[spoiler:It's also implied that the series is a prequel to the existing ''ScoobyDoo'' universe, so all the CharacterDevelopment over the two seasons will eventually be reset]].

* CerebusSyndrome: The show has always been somewhat darker than other ScoobyDoo incarnations, but became especially dramatic and creepy from the season 1 finale onward.

* AdaptationalUgliness: The simplified art-style and blocker design makes Fred look more off than usual.

*** [[Series/{{Charmed}} Yes, we do.]]

** From "The Night the Clown Cried", Crybaby Clown is voiced by Creator/MarkHamill, who has [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker much experience]] with voicing clowns.

*** His alter-ego is voiced by [[Franchise/StarWars his father]], [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Matt Lanter]].

** Creator/ClancyBrown once again voices the [[spoiler: [[Videogame/CrashBandicoot3Warped supernatural villain of a series, who has been manipulating the evil genius]] {{big bad}} [[Videogame/CrashBandicoot3Warped to follow his will]]]].

** 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]].

* 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 ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.

** [[spoiler: The room also holds the better sides of still-living people corrupted, including a teenaged Ricky Owens, what we can assume are the parental and loving aspects of adult Brad and Judy, and the paternal side of Fred Jones Sr]].

** 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]].

** 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]].

* [[spoiler: AndTheAdventureContinues]]The finale.

* ArcWords: "This has all happened before" is the main one in Season 1.
** Season 2 has "[[spoiler:Nibiru...]]" and "[[spoiler: The dog dies...]]."

** [[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]].
** [[spoiler: Scooby himself senses it in a nightmare in episode 46. He pleads to the gang to destroy the treasure once it's found]].

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Everybody in the series finale that had just been killed by the evil entity. Once the timeline is reset, they all come back to life, including people like Cassidy Williams, who died many episodes prior. Basically all the deaths that were caused by the influence of the evil entity were undone]].

* 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"]].

* BerserkButton: Don't use "like" in a grammatically incorrect fashion in Harlan Ellison's presence. Or ask him about H.P. Hatecraft [[spoiler: until the Char Gar Gothikon thing has been dealt with]].
* BetterAsFriends: This is ultimately what [[spoiler: the Shaggy and Velma]] love plot ends up as.
* 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 most a portion of the second season. After [[spoiler: Cassidy dies]], Mr. E [[spoiler: starts to turn against Pericles, but the parrot keeps him in line with a devise implanted into his back. E still tries to sabotage him as possible,]] but Brad and Judy instead reinforce [[spoiler: their alliance with Pericles, forming another Duumvirate that lasts until the end]]

** [[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]].

** [[spoiler: In addition to their own problems with the new world. Not everyone is better off. Daphne's sisters for example, who went from all being prodigies with high profile careers, to underachieving slackers with Daphne being the only one their parents can be proud of]].

* BizarroWorld: Crystal Cove, though it is revealed that [[spoiler: all the madness in the town is caused by the effect of the evil entity being buried directly underneath it]].
** The gang also feels this way about [[spoiler: Crystal Cove, the SUNNIEST place on Earth. All the people and things that they've become used to are now reset to be better, but this makes the gang feel like they don't know anything and don't belong]].

** Not to mention, the first person they encounter right afterwards is [[spoiler: Sheriff Stone, although his arresting of the kids in the first episode is quite a 180 from him greeting the gang with his wife (Mayor Nettles) and four children in the final one]].

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Happens to EVERYONE of the main cast in the season one finale. [[DownerEnding Yeah]]]].

* 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." ]]

** Creator/HarlanEllison, most notably in the series finale, where [[spoiler: he is transported into an alternate timeline with the gang, and becomes the new Mr. E, letting [[AndTheAdventureContinues the adventure continue]] ]].

* ChekhovsGunman: Many of the Ascended Extras are at first unimportant, then vital, or at least important to the episode, like George Avocados, Marcie Fleach, or Gary and Ethan. Harlan Ellison is just a book-writer whom Angie knows, and is friendly to H.P. Hatecraft [[spoiler: at the very end, he reveals he knows about parallel universes, and knows what the CosmicRetcon was]].

** [[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. (Scooby followed Velma because he trusts her instincts and he was worried about her.)]]

* 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)]].

** 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"]].

** Episode 25 not only has Hatecraft show up again, [[spoiler: Alice May is back messing with the gang in a different costume]].

** Episode 48: All the people associated with the treasure appear in the dream sequence: "Benevelent Lodge of Mystery, The Darrow family, the original mystery inc, even Ed Machine and [[spoiler: Fred Jones Senior]].

* ContinuityReboot: The whole series. [[spoiler: Done in-universe in the series finale, where the destruction of the Nibiru Entity causes a reset in the time stream, and the gang is placed in an alternate universe where the evil of the treasure of Crystal Cove never negatively influenced anyone's lives]].

* 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.

** 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]].

** [[TheFlintstones Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm]] make an appearance at the beginning of episode four.

** 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 resemble computers from the early 80's.

** 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]].

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: While not quite near 50 feet, Episode 9 features a pair of creatures dubbed Humungonauts.

* Literature/BabaYaga: Featured in Episode 28

* BerserkButton: Don't use "like" in a grammatically incorrect fashion in Harlan Ellison's presence. Or ask him about H.P. Hatecraft.
