History WesternAnimation / ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated

** Driven by fear, but still effective: In episode 41, [[spoiler: the mummy of Friar Serra grabs Velma's foot and tries to drag her back downstairs. Velma fights back by kicking him with her ''other'' foot.]]

* ContinuityReboot: Possibly lampshaded when Velma is talking to her parents in the first episode. Highlighting the differences between generations.
--> '''Velma's Dad:''' Are you trying to destroy our business?
--> '''Velma:''' Reboot Parentals, I was just being honest!

->''"The new ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' cartoon is quite vexing because it is genuinely entertaining and funny for the exactly the reasons [sic] the writers intended rather than because of camp value or AlternateCharacterInterpretation."''

* BreatherEpisode: Episode 40, with Blue Falcon and Dynomut. 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.

** In episode 2 the lights that light up the letters of the The Drowsy Gator's signs in such a way to read "The dog dies!", a simple little scene to scare Scooby. [[spoiler:In episode 41 the mummy of Friar Sera, a member of a previous Mystery Inc. group hailed for saving Crytal Cove from an earthquake along with the group's donkey Porto, tells the group the real story. That Porto in fact had been corrupted by a piece of the Planispheric Disk and destroyed Crystal Cove. In every group the animal member has been the one to be corrupted and betray everyone leading Friar Sera to declare "Listen to the alligators! The dog must die!" while pointing at Scooby.]]

*** Crybaby Clown also seems like an allusion to Hamill's role as Macendale/Hobgoblin on SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries, 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.]]

* AnArc: For the first time since ''TheThirteenGhostsOfScoobyDoo'', there's an underlying/overarching plot going on in the background of the otherwise episodic mysteries.

* AsHimself: HarlanEllison voices [[SelfDeprecation an unflattering portrayal of himself]] in Episode 12.

* BedlamHouse: [[ShoutOut Animal Asylum]] [[{{Batman}} For the Criminally Insane.]]

* BreatherEpisode: Episode 40, with Blue Falcon and Dynomut. Mind you, Blue Falcon is a walking homage to {{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.

** Design-wise, Alice May is a blatant one for [[{{Spider-Man}} Gwen Stacy]]: same hairstyle, hairband, and green-striped clothes.

* ForbiddenFruit / GRatedDrug: Chocolate to Daphne.
* ForkliftFu: Scooby uses a forklift to take on the robotic fright hound in "Howl of the Fright Hound".

* MindScrew: The episode ''Night Terrors''.

** Shaggy and Scooby love watching [[VincentPrice Vincent]] [[TheThirteenGhostsOfScoobyDoo Van Ghoul]] movies.

-->[[spoiler:'''Mayor Nettles:''' Van Ghoul, here we come!]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Sheriff Stone:''' (''casually'') I'll get my smoker.]]

** Shaggy in episode 40. He will kick your ass if you mess with Scooby-Doo.

** [[spoiler:And it's proving to be ominous. In episode 41, we find out that a group of mystery solvers 500 years ago had a pet donkey who detonated the settlement of Crystal Cove into the sea and tried to take off with a piece of the Planispheric Disc before he was attacked by an alligator. The mummy of Friar Gabriella Serra (and he's a real spook this time) warns the gang "this has all happened before" and presages that Scooby, being the animal of the team, will die as warned by the alligator.]]

** Episode 40: Blue Falcon is turned into an expy of Batman. Velma even lampshades the dubious need of a vigilante.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: All we know is that Crystal Cove is a town near the Pacific founded by conquistadors; possibly someone in California.

** 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. And given that, in episode 40, that [[spoiler:Quest helped revive Radley Crown's guard dog and turned him into Dynomutt, then Mr. E was responsible for Dynomutt's creation!]]
