- "Episode Four" (series 2): When Charlotte Green reveals that Brian Perkins has been ending other BBC Radio 4 shows, he says, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for your pesky meddling."

Shaggy screams, "Zoinks! Scoob, if Freddy doesn't get us off the M-25, we're doomed!" with a questionable whimper from Scooby.

- "Episode Six" (series 2): Prime Minister Tony Blair hires the kids (Shaggy and Velma with Scooby) to investigate who has been leaking his private memos from his office.

- "Episode Two" (series 3): Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma capture the Headless Horseman, who they believe to be the old caretaker, Mr. Jamison, but when they unmask the monster it is really Carol Smillie, host of Changing Rooms. Shaggy then thinks he's seen another apparition, but Smilie points out that it is designer Linda Barker. They were making a haunted mansion motif, which included a hidden treasure buried in the basement, and they used the Headless Horseman to scare them away. Having failed, though, Barker complains, "And we'd have got away with it, too, if it wasn't for you really, really pesky kids." Velma asks the two if they were also responsible for the wailing from the Edwardian ghost, but Carol confirms it's just another designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
- "Episode Two" (series 15): Mystery Incorporated (namely, Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, and Velma) investigates a murder at the Britain's Got Talent studio, which Shaggy says is scarier than the abandoned fun fair, abandoned haunted house, and disused slaughterhouse combined. Shaggy gets terrified by Amanda Holden, who he describes as a "creature with a totally expressionless face." Fred says at this point in the adventure, they'd meet a kindly, old janitor. Just then, Simon Cowell pops up. Fred uses this as an opportunity to ask Cowell about how tricking Britain into voting for Matisse, the Border Collie, when the best tricks were done by a stunt double, but Cowell retorts that it was easy when Britain has got nothing better to do on a Saturday night. Revealed as the evil genius that he is, Cowell responds with the classic line, "And I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you pesky kids, and Ofcom." Not quite done, Cowell reveals that Scooby being a talking dog is a trick by him, too. Shaggy had never questioned it being always as stoned as he was.

Several tropes and conventions are followed, such as Snooper the dog's Shaggy-like friend jumping into his arms after they all spot a monster, and run into the nearby spooky mansion which has bats flying out of it. Inside, they participate in the Scooby-Dooby-doors (with an accompanying pop song), Snooper and his friend eat, and the Velma doppelganger loses her glasses. They catch the monster and unmask it.

Crocker thinks the wand is fake when he wishes to be a zillionaire, causing an oil spill outside, which he doesn't see as helpful, but when he realizes it was real he says to himself, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids." When the gang is back at Timmy's, Wanda is relieved they won't have to solve any more mysteries, which is followed by Sparky crying, "Rooby-Rooby-Roo!"

I broke my jinkies!"

The first time is when the group plans to separate; a second time is when they run away from the ghosts in a hallway of doors; and lastly when the culprits are revealed, with Johnny recognizing that he has "seen this before." Johnny and Dukey disguise themselves as waiters to fool the ghosts, and there is an upbeat tempo when they get caught in a Scooby-Dooby-doors moment.
