Funny / Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost

Go To

  • Daphne, Scooby and Shaggy have a mass "Oh, Crap!" moment when the crystal ball starts talking and they realise that the secret they're keeping is about to be blown open big time.
  • Daphne bringing out her old outfit and saying how impractical it was to wear it.
  • Scooby getting peeved that Shaggy calls him a "stewardess" instead of a "flight attendant".
    • Also the fact that Scooby dressed up like that and really got into the role (such as scolding Fred for wanting both bags) without any prompting whatsoever.
  • Fred's stunned terror at the realization that Shaggy is flying the plane, quickly walking about to his seat and belting up while Daphne smirks at him.
  • Daphne notes that they never saw the courtyard of the temple the last time they came... because they were too busy crashing.
  • The gang giving Vincent Van Ghoul awkward stares when he makes too many horror-related puns.
    • Vincent urging Daphne to make a horror pun of her own, and his glee when she humors him.
    • Likewise, his joy when Shaggy makes his own pun near the end of the film.
  • Vincent not comprehending why they're just tailing a suspect — a man who was at the gang's garage sale earlier in the film, but now in the Himalayas as well — instead of questioning him directly. Shaggy justifies it by noting that there's no way they'd get a straight answer out of someone whose check bounced.
  • Flim Flam owning a tourist trap that also has a hidden monster hunting equipment store, complete with a commercial song.
  • When lamenting that he's lost his place on the team with Daphne now taking charge as leader, Fred notes that he can't even "do background hijinks right".
  • Scooby and Shaggy messing with Asmodeus by pretending to be Buddhists.
  • Fred's rousing speech transitioning into a cheerleading routine, completely throwing off the others.
  • When Fred says that the gang is all here when Flim Flam is finally reintroduced to Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby, Flim Flam notes that they're missing Scrappy. Fred and Velma just share a blank look before asking "What's a Scrappy?"
    • When Flim Flam learns that Vincent is also here, he incredulously asks if anyone would have picked up a phone and called him for the reunion if he wasn't already there.
  • Fred telling Velma not to tell Daphne that he confused the clutch with the emergency brake. And the ending reveals that she did blurt it out, to Fred's chagrin.
  • Scooby, Shaggy, and Daphne pretending to be a 14th Ghost by wearing a bedsheet over themselves. Apparently, at least Daphne is not above it all...
  • Fred whispering the lines to make Mortifer Quinch say "I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids". Mortifer's confused and stilted delivery is what sells it.
  • The Interpol agents just shrugging and watching when Mortifer escapes and the Mystery Inc. gang gives chase.
  • Everyone's exasperation as Velma rationalizes away both the events of the movie and the original 13 Ghosts series.
