Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is an American animated mystery comedy television series created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera (H-B) for CBS' Saturday morning children's programming. Every episode was produced and directed by Hanna-Barbera founders, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. It ran from 1969 to 1970, airing 25 episodes that spanned two seasons. The name was brought back by ABC for eight episodes in 1978 (constituting a third season of sorts), although these are usually better known for being part of The Scooby-Doo Show. The series has been rerun on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and spawned several spin-offs, TV specials, and films.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is about the exploits of four teenagers (damsel in distress Daphne, brainy Velma, nervous hippie Shaggy, brave leader Fred) and their cowardly Great Dane named Scooby-Doo who usually happen to walk into a mystery usually involving the exaggerated crime of a criminal (who can be anything between a real-estate developer or jewel thief), who tries to cover up his misdeeds by dressing up as a ghoulish monster. Clues are left in its wake, which the kids (dubbed Mystery Incorporated in later incarnations) find and put together, leading to the discovery of who the culprit is, which the local authorities are unable to do themselves. A large part of the premise of the series is the bungling of Scooby and his owner, Shaggy, who inevitably run into and accidentally capture the monster in one of Fred's intricately devised traps, despite trying to do everything to avoid it.

The entire series has been released on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc.

Production

Development

Fred Silverman, head of daytime/children's programming at CBS, was inspired by the 1940s radio show I Love a Mystery, and elements of the CBS sitcom The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis.[1] Joseph Barbera also tried to do it as the 1934 film House of Mystery, but he felt that it was "too bland."[2]

Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, past editors at Hanna-Barbera, were tasked with creating the premise for the show, while Iwao Takamoto designed how each character would look. The concept draft was that Geoff Jones, Mike Andrews, Kelly Summers, Linda Blake, and Linda's brother W.W. attend Laguna Beach High in Southern California. When not attending school, they are a band and mystery solvers called Mystery's Five, with the bongo-playing mascot Too Much, a big shaggy dog.[3]

Too Much was changed to a Great Dane called Scooby-Doo, to avoid comparisons to Marmaduke. "Scooby-Doo" apparently came from Silverman, who was on a plane one day listening to Frank Sinatra sing "Strangers in the Night," although according to Takamoto in his book My Life with a Thousand Characters, there was another dog called Scooby he saw in the Hanna-Barbera archives dating back to the early 1960s.[4]

W.W. was also removed, while Linda became Daphne, Kelly became Velma, Mike became Shaggy, and Geoff became Ronnie and finally Fred (at the behest of Silverman). The idea of them being in a band was removed as well as the high school setting, with only the implication that they still live in California. After the spookiness was ill-received, Scooby was put at the forefront, with the working title of Who's S-S-Scared? now called Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Casting

Frank Welker was doing a Friskies dog food commercial when he was informed by the casting agent's fiancé that she was casting for Scooby-Doo, Where Are You![5] He initially went in to read for Scooby-Doo,[6] but was told not to worry, as that would go to H-B veteran Don Messick.[5] He also wanted to audition for Shaggy, who he found more appealing than the "guy in an ascot." Casey Kasem also came into an audition for Fred, but Hanna-Barbera preferred the actors in the opposite roles.[5] Barbera advised Welker to just use his own voice because he and Fred were around the same age, and to think of Jack the All-American Boy.[6]

Kasem auditioned for Shaggy a few times, drawing inspiration from both KRLA disc jockey Dave Hull and Richard Crenna's performance as Walter Denton in the film Our Miss Brooks.[7]

Nicole Jaffe was spotted by Gordon Hunt when she was playing Peppermint Patty in a stage production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. She had no aspirations in voice acting, simply taking the job because she needed to make a living.[8] She adlibbed Velma's catchphrase, "Jinkies."[6]

Stefanianna Christopherson was the first to voice Daphne, but left after the first season to get married. She was replaced with Heather North, who auditioned at the suggestion of her roommate at the time, who just happened to be none other than Jaffe.[9]

Music

The theme song's lyrics were written by David Mook, while Ben Raleigh wrote the music, which was performed by Larry Marks in the first season, then by George A. Robertson, Jr. in the second. The score was composed by Ted Nichols, who was credited as the musical director.

In the second season, La La Productions produced seven "chase songs" set to bubblegum pop genre, which were also performed by Robertson Jr., and written mainly by Danny Janssen, with contributions from both Robertson Jr. and Susan Steward.

Legacy

The formula of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! proved so popular that Hanna-Barbera repeated it ELEVEN times throughout the next decade: Josie and the Pussycats, The Funky Phantom, The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, Speed Buggy, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, Super Friends, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Clue Club, Jabberjaw, Pebbles, Dino and Bamm-Bamm, as well as Ruby-Spears' Fangface.

Hanna-Barbera did its first extended-length episode with a TV special called Scooby Goes Hollywood, which retconned Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! as a TV series the characters filmed. It also included the origin of how Scooby was adopted from a pet store.

After the last spin-off, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, died out in 1991, the franchise laid pretty much dominant until 1998, when Hanna-Barbera revived it with the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, that had the gang grown out of their mystery solving phase and found real jobs as adults, only to get together again to solve a real supernatural mystery. The movie was successful in the video market, and Hanna-Barbera was able to produce three others, with Warner Bros. as their distributor. These first four dropped the signature outfits of Daphne and Fred, giving them a mature look.

When Hanna-Barbera ceased operations in 2001, Warner Bros. could officially use their own animation department, Warner Bros. Animation, and since 2003, have returned to the familiar nostalgic look presented in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! essentially continuing the series in movie form (similar to when feature-length films would continue where Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation left off).

These include:

In a similar fashion, there had also been several direct-to-DVD short films from 2012 to 2015.

In 2002, after being in several script stages since the 1990s, Warner Bros. Pictures released a big screen live-action adaptation called Scooby-Doo, followed by the 2004 sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. There were also two other live-action movies made for the DVD market and TV, with the first being the prequel Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins in 2009, which was followed by the next year with the sequel, Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster. In 2018, there was another DVD origin story produced with the female-led Daphne & Velma. *cricket* What's notable about the movie is not just its emphasis on female empowerment (which happens to be during the Me Too movement), which nobody is saying is a bad thing, but had to do it without having Shaggy or Fred, or even Scooby-Doo. Oh, if only there was a way around having independent young women without losing the rest of the team.

In 2020, Warner Bros. Pictures rebooted Hanna-Barbera's properties into a unified cartoon universe called Scoob!, which presented a new take on Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

There have also been television reboots in the form of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, and the adult-oriented Velma, all firmly set in their own isolated universes as reboots usually are; although Mystery Incorporated made such a big impact on Warner Bros. Animation that the feature-length direct-to-DVD films have had several references, which evidently made the continuity of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo no longer possible. But then again...

When The Lego Group licensed the property to manufacture toys, they also collaborated with Warner Bros. Animation to release the TV special, Lego Scooby-Doo! Knight Time Terror (2015), and two DTVs, Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood (2016) and Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash (2017).

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was eventually continued in a loose way with Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, from 2015 to 2019.

In 2021, The CW aired a prime-time "reunion special" (despite never spending time apart, as pointed out by Velma) called Scooby-Doo, Where Are You Now!

Several Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios-related series have also referenced Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!:

In popular culture

WARNING: The following section contains content that may be seen as mature or offensive to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
Main article: List of pop culture references to Scooby-Doo
  • In "Things That Go Bump in the Night," an episode of the UK sitcom Rising Damp, Rigsby makes fun of Alan doesn't watch horror movies because he says they're childish, but Rigsby believes it's because he's scared, and gets frightened watching Scooby-Doo.
  • In the Welcome Back, Kotter episode "Kotter Makes Good," Mr. Kotter's Saturday morning routine involves watching Space Nuts and Scooby-Doo.* In the Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures episode "Don't Touch That Dial," Mighty Mouse gets caught in a cartoon apparently called Ring-A-Ding, Where Are You! The gang is made up of characters with poor imitations, different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. They confuse Mighty Mouse for a monster and a song-filled chase ensues in a haunted mansion with a "Scooby-dooby-doors" moment and repeated use of background. This was written by Tom Minton, who later did a similar skit for Animaniacs, mentioned below.
  • In The Super Mario Bros. Show episode "20,000 Koopas Under the Sea," in true Mystery Inc. fashion, Mario and his friends discover that the sea monster is mechanical and being driven by Koopa Nemo, who was trying to scare the citizens of Happy Harbor into making them their king. Having failed, Koopa says, "And it would have worked if you 'buttinskis' hadn't messed things up!"
  • In the film Slacker, a slacker talks about how Saturday morning cartoons are teaching kids bribery with Scooby-Doo, wherein Shaggy will bribe Scooby with Scooby Snacks to get what he wants. When that slacker says he'll buy the round of beers if the other slacker buys him a pack of cigarettes, the other slacker tries to turn it into an ironic Scooby Snacks bribe.
  • In Judge Dredd: The Megazine #13-#15, the "Red Razors" arc, Chief Judge Ricky sends a group of Sov-Block freelance enforcers who call themselves the Spooky-Doo Gang to retrieve the corpse of Elvis Presley. They drive the Mystery Machine, but the van is blue and some of the letters are flipped. By the last issue, Shabby/Shaggy and Barbara/Velma have been killed by mutant judges, leaving Spooky/Scooby, Freddy/Freddy, and Hannah/Daphne to successfully find Elvis's corpse. In Issue #14, one of the mutant judge that Freddy kills says about the gang, "If it wasn't for you darn kids."
  • In the Garfield and Friends episode "The Automated, Animated Adventure," Jon takes his idea for a cartoon based on Garfield to the Sprocket Animation Company, where Mr. Sprocket has his own ideas that are just to redo what others have already done such as suggesting that Garfield should expose phony ghosts with three kids every week, with Mr. Sprocket's computer displaying how it would look, with Garfield and the kids outside a spooky mansion, with Garfield in the shaky arms of a Shaggy doppelganger beside a Fred doppelganger, and one black girl with character traits of both Daphne and Velma.
  • Wayne and Garth are unhappy about the ending to their film Wayne's World, so they redo it by doing the "Scooby-Doo ending," as Garth calls it. They transition back to Wayne's basement, where they unmask Benjamin to really be Old Man Withers, who runs the haunted amusement park. Angered by them, he declares, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you snooping kids!" Pleased with the outcome, Garth says to Wayne in a Scooby-like voice, "Good one, Shaggy," and Wayne replies that it was an "excellent Scooby-Doo ending."
  • In the Darkwing Duck episode "Clash Reunion," when Megavolt captures Launchpad, Gosalyn, Ham, and and Preena in his life-size lightbulb, he proclaims, "At last! At last, I'll be rid of those meddling kids and their nosy dog! Whoa. Wrong cartoon."
  • In The Golden Palace episode "Tad," Tad tells Rose that he watches Scooby-Doo (presumably including Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!), Tiny Toons, and Muppet Babies.
  • In the Bonkers episode "Weather or Not," the Weather Toons staged their own disappearance and framed the TV station crew because they didn't need their help, but having been exposed, Toony Tornado cries, "Our scam woulda worked if those meddling cops hadn't stepped in!"
  • In the Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa episode "Night of the Cowgoyle," the Cowgoyle/Rooster Cogsbull is caught in a similar manner to the Scooby-Doo villains.
  • In the Full House episode "To Joey, With Love," Danny is unsure about Joey teaching his daughter's third grade class, as he is a "man who has every Scooby-Doo on tape."
  • In the Saved by the Bell: The New Class episode "The Principal's Principles," when Tommy D becomes Bayside's new principal for a week, he immediately slacks off and turns the principal's office into his private pad, where he plans on watching a Scooby-Doo marathon because he "loves those meddling kids."
  • In the video game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, when Dixie and Kiddy defeat KAOS, Baron K. Roolenstein reveals himself from behind the curtain (ala the Wizard from The Wizard of Oz), and states the line, "KAOS was my ticket to world domination, and I'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids."
  • In the Murphy Brown episode "Tempus Fugit," Stan reflects on his child-like employees who have never heard of Life of Riley or Playhouse 90, and think Scooby-Doo is the golden age of television.
  • In The Drew Carey Show episode "He Harassed Me, He Harassed Me Not," Oswald says that the office is spooky at night and is surprised at how easy it was to sneak past Old Man MacPhearson, which is a cause for Oswald and Lewis to sing the theme song until Drew tells them to shut up. A couple of times after that, Oswald talks in Scooby's voice.
  • In the Night Man episode "The House of Soul," Jessica believes the House of Soul may be haunted, but Raleigh just makes fun of her by comparing it to Scooby-Doo.
  • In the film Divorcing Jack, Dan wears a wavy blond wig as a disguise at the Dolphin Hotel, which only gets him more attention when the M.C. calls him out, by asking the audience, "Hey, did anyone watch Scooby-Doo? There's Shaggy at the bar."
  • In the film Can't Hardly Wait, Walter is told by another stoner that Velma from Scooby-Doo didn't get "much play."
  • The Casper episode "Scaredy Boo, Where Have You Got To?" is an allusion to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, and features a gang of mystery solvers, driving the Enigma Mobile, investigating Whipstaff Manor.
  • In the Student Bodies episode "Snowed In," Mags finally finds Scooby-Doo to bond with Flash over, who describes it as "sheer brilliance." They then sing the theme song, when their friends come in, who are surprised the two are getting along, are asked what the nature of Scooby and Scrappy's relationship is, and why a hot girl like Daphne is hanging around a loser like Shaggy, but Romeo's answer is simply is that she is hot, before their friends leave them to sing the theme song again.
  • In the Dawson's Creek episode "Escape from Witch Island," the boat guy warns the kids that they should not get so caught up in their "Scooby-Doo adventure," they stay on the island past dark.
  • In the Rugrats episode "Runaway Reptar," Angelica's plan is thwarted when her robotic Reptar's synthetic skin peels off, so she declares, "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling babies."
  • In the Big Wolf on Campus episode "Stalk Like an Egyptian," Dean is watching an episode of Scooby-Doo, in which he is calling out the authority who is telling Velma to stop meddling, but he tells her to continue while also calling her a "little vixen." An urgent news report then interrupts the episode, which disappoints Dean as Shaggy and Scooby were just about to find out who the "carnival phantom" was, which suggests he is watching "Bedlam at the Big Top," although perhaps the more appropriate episode would've been "Scooby-Doo and a Mummy Too."
  • In "Beginnings," of the UK comedy series Spaced, Daisy wanders into Tim's bedroom after hearing a noise and is spooked by his alien mask. Tim finds her and she keeps on saying she heard a noise, so Tim says she was playing Scooby-Doo. She says she used to play as Daphne when she was little, as did Tim play as Freddie when he was younger, but now Tim and Daisy look more like Shaggy and Velma. When the scene transitions and the outside of their flat is shown, the music to the beginning of The New Scooby-Doo Movies plays, instead of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! As a final piece of trivia, in the last episode, "Leaves," Tim and Daisy also own toys of Shaggy and Velma.
  • In the Arthur segment "The Rat Who Came to Dinner," Mr. Ratburn shows Arthur one of his old tapes of Spooky-Poo, while staying at Arthur's house while his roof is repaired. The scene involves a group of anthropomorphic kids and their kangaroo mascot running from a sheet ghost, with music that sounds similar to the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" theme song.
  • In "Summer," an episode of the British The Vicar of Dibley sitcom, when the main characters learn about Dibley being flooded, Alice freaks out and fears that it could happen one day while watching Scooby-Doo.
  • In the Recess episode "The Barnaby Boys," the caught janitor says, "And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for them meddling kids."
  • In the Gimme Gimme Gimme episode "Glad to Be Gay?," Tom fumbles in thinking of a gorgeous lesbian to feel Linda better about the prospect of her change in sexual preference (which is ironic since she is not really that attractive), but he can only think of "Velma from Scooby-Doo."
  • In That 70s Show episode "Afterglow," Fez watches the end of an episode of "the Scooby-Doo," with a villain saying, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those darn kids." Later, the guys get high, with Fez treating Kelso's sudden support of Eric as a mystery, "one suitable for Scooby-Doo and his gang of cartoon teenagers!" He then goes on to say how he wishes they were cartoon characters, with Fez imagining them in Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo-esque designs with Scooby-Doo-esque music playing as they talk to each other. Fez, the first one to talk, after the transformation, sarcastically says, "Zoinks. That'd be super, Fez."
  • In the Daria episode "I Loathe a Parade," the lion mascot who was harassing Daria and Tom collapses from wearing the suit for too long causing him to suffocate. They unmask him to reveal that the mascot is their teacher Mr. O'Neill. Tom snidely remarks, "And he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for us meddling kids."
  • In the Sex and the City episode "The Big Time," Steve watches "Jeepers, It's the Creeper," specifically the scene wherein Scooby and Shaggy try to ditch the chick that is following Scooby, who has imprinted him as its mother. This is distracting to Miranda, who is working, so she tells him to turn it down and when he isn't cooperative, she wants him to turn it off, leading her to believe that he isn't mature enough to have a baby. During the debate, she gets frustrated with Steve, asking if they can have a discussion without Scooby-Doo, but Steve is caught up in the episode, which he says is about a ghost in a salt mine (despite that not being the case), and then fools around trying to do Shaggy's voice, saying, "But, Scoobs, what about the ghost?" The Creeper can be heard off-screen, as well.
  • In the Digimon: Digital Monsters episode "Iron Vegiemon," the Digimon Emperor reacts to the DigiDestined destroying a control spire by saying, "What?! A spire was destroyed? Must be those meddling kids."

  • In The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius episode "The Phantom of Retroland," Jimmy and his friends go to Retroland at night, which is haunted by a phantom, who turns out to be the disguise of several others.

  • In the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jay and Silent Bob aren't doing so well in getting hitchhiked, with Jay complaining that it works for other people while they get treated like they're in a cartoon, which is when a familiar looking van pulls up. Inside, they meet two guys, a pair of girls, and their dog, who are trying to find the hitchhiking ghouls, with Jay and Silent Bob matching the description. The gang ends up bickering, so Jay introduces them to "doobie snacks," leading to them acting wild. In reality, it is Jay and Silent Bob who have only got high and have fallen asleep. The gang wonders what to do with them when the Shaggy doppelganger suggests harvesting their kidneys and putting them in a tub of ice at a seedy motel, which turns out to also be a dream of Jay's.
  • In The Weekenders episode "Crushin' Roulette," Tish is so desperate to fall in love with someone she stares at Mr. Higginbotham until he loves her back, but this just gets him nervous and causes him to reveal he is an international spy. By the end of the episode, the National Security Agency is taking him away, and he declares, "And I would have gotten away with it, if it had not been for those darned meddling kids!", even though he is quite happy to get it off his chest.
  • In the Kim Possible episode "Tick-Tick-Tick," Kim mocked Wade's haunted island info by saying "Keep out meddling kids."
  • The Time Squad episode "White House Weirdness" is an homage to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, by using the musical cues of Ted Nichols and sound effects from the series. The Time Squad goes back in time to 1911 to make sure Woodrow Wilson beats Howard William Taft in the presidential election, which may not happen if he becomes a musician instead. But this is difficult when they discover that The White House looks like a haunted house that is being haunted by the deceased former Presidents of America, who have taken on the form of monsters, which includes Zachary Taylor as a zombie, Benjamin Harrison as a vampire, and James Buchanan as Frankenstein's monster. When all three are found, the Time Squad and the monsters run through the "Scooby-Dooby-doors." In the end, all of the monsters are captured with a single chandelier, and the Time Squad reveals that they are just the disguises of then current President William Howard Taft, Vice President James S. Sherman, and Secretary of State Philander C. Knox, who were working together to make sure Taft continued to be President unchallenged. Defeated, Taft says his own take on the immortal line, "And we would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling Time Squaders." Also, when the cop thanks the Time Squad for their work, he refers to them as the "gang."
  • In the Hey Arnold!

  • In the video game Final Fantasy X-2, Prophet, who is a pastiche of Shaggy, is one of the potential culprits depending on what path you go on in the Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery subquest. When caught, he says, "That's right. Like, it was me. And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"

Velma deduces that the suspect could be Mo Mowlam, Gordon Brown, Robin Cook, or Alistair Campbell, who all work in his cabinet. But after hearing all the suspects, he writes in his press release that the caretaker disguised as a pirate was trying to scare him away from the gold mine at the disused fairground.
  • "Episode Two" (series 3): The Larry Markes version of the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" theme song sets up a sketch involving 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 One" (series 5): A small part of The New Scooby-Doo Movies theme song sets up a sketch involving Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby, who are investigating the Conservative Campaign Headquarters. Shaggy doesn't like being there because of his hippy lifestyle and their stance on cannabis, which he hides under the fake floorboards of the Mystery Machine. Scooby also partakes in Shaggy's drug use when the former says, "Scooby Scooby stoned." They find Iain Duncan Smith, who Shaggy calls the Hairless Horseman, and remove his ghastly features to discover it is really William Hague, who is out for vengeance against the Tories after not getting elected Prime Minister in the 2001 elections. Hague laments, "And I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky voters!"
  • "Episode Three" (series 5): In response to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within using cartoon characters instead of real actors, Hollywood actors have taken to do the same. A segue with an element of The New Scooby-Doo Movies theme song, reveals that Russell Crowe and John Gielgud have taken on the roles of Shaggy and Scooby, respectively, in a case at an abandoned fairground haunted by Mr. Johnson to keep people away from the gold mine. Despite playing Shaggy, Crowe still has shaken his previous role of Maximus Decimus Meridius from Gladiator (a recurring gag on Dead Ringers), and when he responds to Velma, he paraphrases Maximus's famous quote, "My name is Maximus Decimus Shaggimus. Owner of a cowardly dog [Scooby], friend to a suspiciously gay-looking man [Fred]. And I would've had my vengeance, but I was, like, really scared. Zoinks!" He then wants to celebrate with Scooby, saying, "This, like, calls for Scooby Snacks. Scooby, at my signal, unleash your tongue and wrap it around a very tall sandwich." Scooby just says, "Scooby Scooby Dooby. Scooby Dooby Dooby, Raggy."
  • "Episode Three" (series 7): The Larry Markes version of the Where Are You! theme song sets up another misadventure, where Velma reads to Shaggy the violations of the new Cartoon Animal Bill of Rights for unnecessary and prolonged exposure to haunted houses, spooky fairgrounds, and white-haired caretakers called Mr. Jameson, as well as health grounds as for the past 30 years, Shaggy has only been feeding Scooby Snacks to Scooby, and mental cruelty for inflicting Scrappy-Doo. Zoinks! Shaggy's been "Scooby Scooby sued!"
  • "Episode Three" (series 9): Shaggy is afraid of their London route in the Mystery Machine, but Velma tries to reassure him it's safe, until they are informed of a £5 congestion fee for entering Central London, which makes Shaggy scream "Zoinks." at this eerie man from the funfair, but Shaggy is corrected on both accounts, as the eerie man is Mayor Livingstone, and the "funfair" is the London Eye. Velma is suspicious it's not Livingstone and his face is really a mask hiding Tony Blair, who was pretending to be Livingstone to make London more unpopular. Defeated, he groans, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you pesky young voters." Scooby cheers by saying, "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"
  • "Episode Four" (series 9): Reporter Kirsty Wark reveals that the politicians (including Iain Duncan Smith and Ann Widdecombe) are falsely trying to turn the public against cartoon characters "sneaking" into the UK through "the channel" Nickelodeon had summoned all of the reporters at a spooky, abandoned fairground while dressed as ghosts. Defeated, Widdencomb moans, "Curses! Curses! Failed again. And I would've got away with it, too, if it wasn't for you pesky Newsnight presenters!" Happy, Wark says something similar to "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"
  • "Episode Two" (series 15): The MXPX version of the Where Are You! theme song sets up a sketch involving Mystery Incorporated (namely, Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, and Velma) investigating 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.

The Clue Crew arrive in their Clue Cruiser right after Timmy and the fairies enter, with the fairies going from parodies of Mystery Incorporated like Timmy to parodies of Scooby. 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. There seem to be references to Goober and the Ghost Chasers, too, as the dog is somewhat similar to Goober and the kids are made of five, instead of four.

In the middle of the chase, parodies of Shaggy and Scooby appear, being chased by the Headless Horseman; the Shaggy parody says "Zinkies, Doob! Like, keep running man!"
  • "The Wand That Got Away:" While on the search for Cosmo's wand, the gang gets into Spark's "groovy" van (resembling the Mystery Machine) he won from a 1970s game show. This gives Cosmo the idea, with Wanda's wand, to turn them into Mystery Inc. When they track it down to Crocker's house, they split up and run into monsters (and Crocker's mother). 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!" But Sparky insists he says this right before seeing a giant pigeon smack into a window, such as the one Mr. Turner transformed into is about to do. Mr. Turner reacts by saying, "Zoinks! I broke my jinkies!"
  • "Let Sleeper Dogs Lie:" Sparky kept a DVD of his previous owners, which included a group of kids resembling Mystery Incorporated who solved mysteries.

There are also celebrity guests in George Takei, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Larry Bird. Takei turns out to be the monster, who tells the gang, "And I would never have gotten away with it, regardless of you meddling kids," because according to himself, he is mentally ill.
