1* Velma's dainty WheelOFeet walk.
2* Pretty much anything to do with Red Herring:
3** In "Horror of the Haunted Hairpiece", [[RunningGag Fred blaming Red Herring for everything]] practically hits its peak when he deliberately goes off-script during [[TheSummation the summation]] and approached Red in ''his house'' just to point the finger. Red (who was much more interested in reading the paper) didn't even bother to look up when he told Fred to beat it.
4** In one episode, the rest of the gang bets that Fred can't go an entire case without accusing Red of being the culprit. But in that particular episode, it turns that Red really was the culprit--Freddie doesn't exactly take this too well.
5** In one episode after the accusation, Red calls Fred and says he can't make it to the crime scene this time because his bike has a flat tire. Daphne proceeds to have Jenkins go to Red's house and give him a ride on a rickshaw so he can proclaim his innocence.
6** Another episode has Fred accusing Daphne's butler of being Red Herring in disguise. When Daphne points out that's her butler, Robopup goes to Red's house, takes Red Herring's bathtub with Red still inside and brings him to Fred.
7** Fred's consistent blaming of Red Herring for crimes was a RunningGag extraordinaire--but in a prime case of Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad, watching the joke [[{{Flanderization}} gradually get more exaggerated]] only made it funnier. In some episodes (particularly the early ones), Fred accusing Red of being the culprit did actually make some sense (i.e., he was near the scene of the crime and/or would've had some kind of motive). But as the series went on, Red's connection to the mystery became more and more tenuous, until it was basically nonexistent--for example, if Fred were to accuse him of being behind it, the rest of the gang would point out that Red was out-of-town/state (i.e., he's visiting a relative and/or on vacation), so he couldn't have been anywhere near the mystery. But it never mattered--Fred would ''always'' accuse Red of being the MonsterOfTheWeek. Similarly, Red's appearances in proving his innocence got wackier: after the accusation, a telephone might ring with Red appearing on the other end and announcing that he didn't do it, or, as mentioned above, Fred traveling to the bully's location to make his case. It eventually reached OnceAnEpisode status, and it was always hilarious.
8* The Were-Doo muttering over his [[IGotARock crummy gifts]] during his birthday party:
9-->'''Nasty Doo''': Yeahgreatabrickwallameteorthinkthey'regreatthey'reswellIgottahavethemIcan'tlivewithout'em...
10** The RunningGag of Scooby and his parents going into a Doo Family Faint whenever someone mentions the Were-Doo.
11* In "Mayhem of the Moving Mollusk":
12-->'''Daphne''': You're scared of him?\
13'''Julie''': He's an ex-Critter Getter, and I owe him money.\
14'''Ivan''': That's right, [[OverlyLongName Anita Kathy Jean-whatever]]. I want my money!\
15'''Julie''': I don't have it. I told you that an hour ago. I told you that ''two'' hours ago.\
16'''Ivan''': Okay. I understand. (''walks away'') See you in an hour.
17* From the first episode, which involves Shaggy's prized bike being stolen by the MonsterOfTheWeek, we have this exchange.
18-->'''Freddie''': "Well Shaggy, I'm glad to see you're taking this loss like a man"\
19* The camera pans out to show Shaggy lying on the floor, kicking and screaming over his lost bike like...well, a kid*
20** Shaggy tries to tell the others about the ghost, but is so frightened out of his wits that all he can say is "Ga" and "Goo".
21--->'''Daphne''': I knew Shaggy acted young for his age, but this is ridiculous!
22** Fred's off-the-wall theories about the theft of Shaggy's bike being orchestrated by alien invaders.
23** Later on, Fred thinks Red Herring stole Shaggy's bike then painted it blue and uses a sander to prove it. Naturally, it wasn't and Red is furious at Fred for messing up his bike and runs him over.
24* "The Schnook Who Took My Comic Book"
25** Red Herring tries to scare some little kids, only to be carried away by a security guard, much to Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby's amusement.
26** The flashback showing that Shaggy has been buying comics since he was a baby.
27** Shaggy and Scooby accidentally changing into tutus when trying to become Commander Cool and Mellow Mutt.
28** The chase sequence takes place inside a movie theater which is showing ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla''. And it ends when the two kaiju in the movie actually take a moment to tell off the kids and Doctor Croaker.
29--->'''Godzilla:''' ''(with a British accent)'' I say, can't you do that outside? We're trying to do a movie here.\
30'''Scooby:''' Sorry.
31* "Scooby Dude"
32** Just the fact that the monster of the episode is a headless skateboarder who talks like a SurferDude, constantly moaning "Oh, dudes!"
33** Red Herring hires the kids to prove his innocence and protect his good name. When they point out that he's a [[CardCarryingJerkass proud]] [[TheBully bully]], he concedes the point about his horrible reputation, but still asks for their help.
34* In "The Story Stick", Shaggy and Scooby introduce themselves to the Native American kid Warren by [[InnocentBigot saying "Me Shaggy" and "Me Scooby"]], with Daphne snarking "Me embarrassed". Warren responds by cheerfully saying hi back to them, addressing Daphne as "Embarrassed" as if it was her actual name.
35** When Velma finds a bead on the ground and says "Jinkies", her friends don't pay attention because they're busy looking for clues themselves. She says it again a little louder with no response from her friends, and she gets so frustrated that what does she do [[RuleOfThree the third time]]? She screams, "'''''I said JINKIES!'''''" through a ''megaphone''.
36* "Curse of the Collar"
37** Scooby and his parents recovering from their Doo Family Faint as soon as Shaggy mentions "dinner".
38** Daphne's disgust at the veterinarian speaking to the Doo Family with BabyTalk.
39** The unmasking of the Ghost of Buster [=McMuttmauler=] as Mr. Trixenstuff initially has the gang confused by the sight of a hand waving when the mask is removed. As soon as the rest of the costume is removed, it turns out that Trixenstuff was waving sheepishly after protruding his hand from the costume's neck.
40* "The Computer Walks Among Us"
41** Daphne siccing her butler on Red Herring.
42--->'''Daphne''': Jenkins!\
43'''Jenkins''': Yes, Ms. Blake?\
44'''Daphne''': Remove this delinquent.\
45'''Jenkins''': Yes, Ms. Blake. (''he grabs Red Herring by his shirt and carries him away'')
46** In the chase scene for the episode, the gang ''and'' the MonsterOfTheWeek have to tiptoe through the library when Velma points out they have to be quiet there. Even the music pauses at that point.
47* Shaggy and Scooby being labeled as suspects in "Now Museum, Now You Don't".
48-->'''Shaggy''': Like, we can't be suspects! [[BreakingTheFourthWall We're the stars of the show]]!
49** And near the end of the episode, we have Velma of all people [[PintSizedPowerhouse subduing the samurai ghost with karate]]. Doubles as an SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment.
50* One episode has the gang playing with a video camera. Freddie suggests that they make a movie about them solving a mystery, and Daphne proclaims it a great idea. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness This is apparently so rare]] that the ''show is interrupted'' with a newscast telling the world that "FREDDIE HAD A GOOD IDEA! IT'S A MIRACLE!"
51* In "For Letter Or Worse" the gang finds The Great Mel auditioning for a station executive. He tries to pull a rabbit out of his hat and instead pulls Scooby himself. He then pushes Scooby back in who then proceeds to teleport back to the gang.
52-->'''Scooby:''' Rhat was weird.
53** When they first see the ghost, Scooby and Shaggy freak out and so do the Brainy Bunch:
54-->'''Betsy Brainy:''' Look, Bobby, a free-floating spectral apparition!\
55'''Bobby Brainy:''' Why, yes it is. ''(They both freak out as well)''
56* The RunningGag of Scooby repeating what someone says, [[SpeechImpairedAnimal pronouncing it as though it starts with an R]] followed by that person correcting him.
