History TearJerker / ScoobyDoo

* ''TearJerker/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed''

** Even worse, a commenter on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxuteSlss3M this analysis video]] points out that Velma, Fred and Daphne didn't just walk away in random directions, they were each heading towards a parked car - just let that sink in for a minute; Mystery Inc.'s in-fighting had gotten so bad, they weren't even traveling in the Mystery Machine together, anymore!

** The 2014 death of Shaggy’s original voice actor, Casey Kasem.
** The 1997 death of Scooby’s original VA, Don Messick.
** The 1999 death of Mary Kay Bergman.
*** The worst part? She took her own life.
* Bill Lutz, the writer of SDWAY Season 1, died in ''1973''. He never got to see how wonderful people thought his work was.
** The 2017 death of Daphne’s second VA, Heather North.
** Their creators’ (William Hanna and Joseph Barbara) deaths in 2001 and 2006, respectively.

* [[An old concept art http://www.patrickawa.net/2007/10/old-bad-dogs.html?showComment=1612468964997)]] shows Scrappy's transformation going differently: instead of willingly creating an elaborate ritual to become a monster, there's no daemon ritus in sight. Just a very non-malicious looking Scrappy looking genuinely shocked as his body begins to mutate.

An old concept art (http://www.patrickawa.net/2007/10/old-bad-dogs.html?showComment=1612468964997)shows Scrappy's transformation going differently:

** And it is a VERY PainfulTransformation...and he's wearing his
collar and visibly choking as his neck begins to grow in size...
** And it's not the brown, plain collar in the final version-it's
the one that he had from the cartoons, matching Scooby.
The implications that he was still close to Scooby when this
happened and was still forced by an evil being to attack his
friends and loved ones is equal parts tragic and horrifying.
** Adding to the implication that this was a hostile entity is the fact that Scrappy’s tiny body doesn’t grow cartoonishly- to accommodate the unnaturally rapid growth-his eyes pop out of their sockets. His ribcage pierces through his chest. And then, only then, does the thing that once was Scrappy begin to grin maliciously as the demon takes control, so poor Scrappy had to spend his last moments as himself in agony.

** The 2014 death of Shaggy’s original voice actor, Casey Karen.

* The conclusion of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheAlienInvaders'', when Shaggy and Scooby say their goodbyes to Crystal and Amber.
-->'''Velma:''' When I said there was someone for everyone out there, I didn't think I meant...(''looking towards the sky'') out ''there''.
** When asked if they're alright with Crystal and Amber leaving, Shaggy, in the most defeated voice he's ever spoken with, says, "Like, we're completely destroyed."
** Suddenly subverted when Velma comes up with a box of Scooby Snacks for them. (The sight of Velma with her glasses askew and her hair mussed up during the tussle for the box is priceless.)
--->'''Velma:''' Well, ''that'' didn't take long!
** Though that may actually have been Shaggy and Scooby trying to cover up how much they're still hurting (combined with HeartbreakAndIceCream). [[SarcasmMode Ain't love fun?]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMusicOfTheVampire,'' Shaggy thinks he's been bitten by a vampire (he was actually grazed by an errant stake) and seeks refuge in the swamp. He tells Scooby to let him go it alone for fear of turning into a vampire, and this potential split up is heart-tugging. Shaggy can't do it, as he and Scooby suddenly reunite.

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMysteries'' episode "A Nutcracker Scoob", after the villain ([[spoiler:the maid]]) has been exposed for trying to steal a jewel, they lament as they are taken away, "With that jewel, it would have been Christmas every day!" Yes, they'd caused a lot of trouble, but at that point you can't help but feel a bit bad for them.

* In "Scooby-Doo and a Mummy, Too" from [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou the original series]], Shaggy is pretty upset when he thinks Scooby's been [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]], as is Scooby when he finds out...."[[NotNowWereTooBusyCryingOverYou Look, Scoob, you've been turned to stone!]]" ''(Both proceed to cry)''

-->'''Velma:''' When I said there was someone out there for you, I didn't think...(''looking towards the sky'') out ''there''.
** When asked if they're alright with Crystal and Amber leaving, Shaggy, in the most defeated voice he's ever spoken with, says "Yeah... we're just completely, totally destroyed."

* In the 2002 movie, the fact that the group not only were separated for two years, but even after all that time still held a grudge is sad for anyone remembering the show for their friendship.

* In the live-action movie, the entire gang splits after Velma quits, leaving only Shaggy and Scooby. Shaggy drives the Mystery Machine away while Scooby looks out the back window for the others, heartbroken.
--->'''Shaggy:''' Looks like it's just you and me now, Scoob.
** The fact that as the Gang are fighting, Shaggy tries to smooth things over, and as they quit he can just [[LittleNo softly protest]].
** Even more of a TearJerker if you consider "The Mystery Begins" to take place in the same continuity and you learn how Shaggy and Scooby came to join Mystery Inc. in the first place, Scooby had been rejected countless times until he was adopted by Shaggy and Shaggy was a ShrinkingViolet that had trouble making friends until he met Fred, Daphne and Velma and the reason he stays with the group is because he considered them to be his friends. To have his closest friends, whom he has been with for such a long time to suddenly break up and not speak to each other for two years must have been really hard for him, even more if you consider what he said to Scooby.
--->'''Scooby:''' (sadly) Do I quit too?
--->'''Shaggy:''' (somberly) No, Scoob, best friends DON'T quit....
** The way he says, he probably tried hard to stay strong for Scooby's sake.

* In the deleted scenes for the live-action film, Fred's, Velma's and Daphne's descriptions of their lives since the gang split up show that, despite their claims, their lives were not going well since they left the gang.
