Funny / What's New, Scooby-Doo?

• "Mummy Scares Best": Melbourne O'Reilly saves Daphne, Velma, and Scooby from the zombies by drawing the spooks' attention. Then he races off, ending up running on a barrel, while the zombies follow him, also on barrels, with their hands still stretched out before them in proper zombie fashion.
• "Toy Scary Boo":
  • The gang tries something different and Fred and Shaggy pair up when it's time to split up. It gets awkward.
    Fred: So... did you see the game last night?
    Shaggy: Uh, I'm not really into sports.
    Fred: Oh, right...
    Shaggy: You wanna get some food?
    Fred: No thanks, I'm not hungry.
    Shaggy: Okay...
    *short pause*
    Fred: Next time we pair up as usual.
    Shaggy: Good plan.
  • What makes this funnier? The Valentine's Day episode reveals the two to be roommates. Apparently, Fred forgot that Shaggy wasn't watching whatever sports game was on the previous night with him.
  • From the same episode the Crying Carrie doll.
• In "Homeward Hound", the cat creature is chasing Velma, who runs to the Mystery Machine and pulls out a ball of yarn to distract it. It works.
  • The sheer audacity of the episode's start, where the group is going to visit Fred's uncle, who is a count that lives in an abandoned castle surrounded by a creepy forest, which is just across the street from a factory that makes SPECIALTY COFFINS. As Shaggy put it, "Like, we're not even waiting for the monsters to find us anymore, are we?"
• "High-Tech House of Horrors":
  • Daphne forces Velma to try out a makeover machine, with some...pretty notable results.
    Velma: I feel like I'm wearing ten pounds of makeup and these shoes are so tight-WOW, I'm hot.
  • Daphne then gives it a try and walks out looking exactly the same.
    Daphne: I guess you can't improve upon perfection.
• "It's All Greek to Scooby":
  • Velma sputtering in frustration at not being able to correctly deduce the identity of the culprit as it was someone she had never seen before. She even angrily declares that "this one doesn't count", since there was no way she would have been able to solve the mystery.
  • Shaggy's cyclops costume from the same episode is hilarious. It's just a giant eyeball covering the top of his head and a toga!
  • Not that Fred's Minotaur costume was any better, there was a hole in the mask's neck that left Fred's face exposed.
  • Portsmouth assuming that the monsters of Greek mythology are real after seeing Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, Daphne, and Velma in their disguises as a cyclops, Cerberus, the Minotaur, Medusa, and the Hydra respectively.
  • And the very end; as Scooby makes his line, the heads of his Cerberus costume join in!
• "Pompeii and Circumstance": The gang ask about the gladiator zombie haunting Pompeii and the pandemonium and mayhem he's been causing. When their guide tries to pass it off as a charming local legend, Shaggy asks which is more charming, the pandemonium or the mayhem.
• "The San Franpsycho":
  • At the beginning of the musical chase scene, the monster and Fred grab skateboards. The rather scary-looking villain is comically out of his depth trying to keep his balance.
  • After flying off the skateboard, the San Franpsycho lands in a painting booth chair. Shaggy and Scooby, disguised with beards and suitable outfits, paint an "I <3 Mom" message on his chest. He snarls, and Shaggy and Scooby disappear so fast that they leave their disguises hanging in midair.
  • Shaggy's Accidental Misnaming of the monster, first referring to him as "San Fran-nutball" while they're still clue-hunting and then as "San Fran-weirdo" when Scooby accidentally traps him.
• "A Terrifying Round With A Menacing Metallic Clown":
  • Velma discovers a clue, which for once she doesn't like because following clues usually means finding the monster and she's got a clown phobia. She asks Scooby what one does to avoid looking for clues, which ends up with them at the batting cages. As she's bracing for a pitch from Scooby, she gets a slice of pizza from the pitching machine Scooby is operating. She never realized cowering off could be so much fun.
  • Her turning down a Scooby Snack is also hilarious:
    Velma: Nice try, Daphne; I may be scared, but I'm not desperate.
    • Which gets all the funnier when Daph uses a CD-ROM of an encyclopedia to get her to do it.
• In "The Vampire Strikes Back", Shaggy and Scooby believe Fred has been turned into a bat by the vampire. They finally caught it until they found Fred. Realizing the bat is really a bat, Shaggy and Scooby ran away, with the bat flying after them, apparently taking a liking to them.
• In "Riva Ras Regas", Del Stone gives them a tour through the Newark Newark Casino. When he jokes that he chose the Newark theme because there's already a casino using a pirate theme, Fred thinks it's the real reason and says it makes sense. Stone later explains the reason behind Speckle Hall and Fred mistakes it for a funny joke until Stone explains it's not a joke.
• In "E-Scream", after Velma solves the virtual mystery, she runs into "zombie kids" and runs away in a cartoonish manner, but then comes the punchline from Daphne.
  Daphne: They aren't zombies, they've just been playing too many video games!
  Scooby and Shaggy: (in zombie-like voice) Scooby... dooby... doo...
• This little dialogue:
  Shaggy: Like I don't get it Scoob, why do we always do things like this for Scooby Snacks...?
• "New Mexico, Old Monster":
  • The unexpected appearance of Wile E Coyote And The Roadrunner. Scooby's rather confused.
    Scooby: Meep meep?
  • Just after the Wakumi almost grabs Scooby, a birdwatcher arrives:
    Avery Orenthal: Excuse me, have you seen a giant, vicious, hook-clawed birdie?
    Velma: Only one today.
• "A Scooby-Doo Valentine"
  • Daphne doesn't want to go to prison because she doesn't want to wear the same clothes every day.
  • Velma mentions that she's entered the Date with J.C. Chasez contest 500 times. The rest of the gang's awkward stares persuade her to insist that she only did it for research.
  • When the impersonators are unmasked, Daphne is irritated that she was played by a mere extra. She's still grousing about it by the end credits, asking if Sarah Michelle Gellar (Daphne in the live-action movies) was too busy.
• Scooby accidentally eats the MacGuffin during his sign-off at the end of "Block-Long Hong-Kong Terror":
  "Scooby-Dooby—burp—^Doo?"
• "Lights! Camera! Mayhem!"
  • During the chase, the Faceless Phantom ends up being knocked onto the set of a romance movie where they land in the actress' spot during a kissing scene. The Phantom takes a second to process the situation, then pushes the actor away before fleeing to continue their pursuit, much to the latter's confusion.
