Scooby Snacks are a brand of dog biscuits in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. They are a favorite of Scooby-Doo's, and he usually gets them via bribes from his friends in Mystery Incorporated in order to be brave, except for Shaggy Rogers, Scooby's owner, who is more often than not included in the bribe. When they were depicted as kids in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, it was established as food Scooby and Shaggy could regularly attain themselves, making the bribes somewhat redundant. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, they were no longer bribes, mostly since Scooby and Shaggy managed to be brave without the need of Scooby Snacks.

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."
  • In The Office episode "Merger," David gets in trouble for suggesting that Jennifer should take drugs to make her calmer, going into a joke about getting food for her because she has the munchies like Shaggy eating all those Scooby Snacks for the same reason, "dooby dooby doo" was code for a joint, and saying "Raggy" in a poor attempt to sound like Scooby.

  • In the So Random! episode "Cole & Dylan Sprouse," a girl wants to find her missing bike, so she takes her neighbor's Great Dane, her mom's minivan, and feeds the dog Scooby Bites all the while she solves the mystery, but it caused him to leave a big pile of "Scooby doo-doo" in the back seat.

The Mystery Bunch joyfully talk about how finding a mystery soon that they will inevitably find by accident, when a Grimm monster appears and chases them through several doors, as the Junior Detectives just watch. The Grimm is caught and discovered to be Old Man Shopkeep, who mumbles in annoyance, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids." Jaune eats from a box of Zwei Snacks, named after Team JNPR/The Mystery Bunch's dog, as does a confused Sun and Neptune, believing that if they eat Zwei Snacks, it will to get to them to their level.
