* MythologyGag: When the Mystery Machine roars back to life at the end of the episode, Shaggy's initial reaction is to assume the van is haunted and came to life on its own. This was the exact premise of the ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' episode; "It's Mean, It's Green, It's the Mystery Machine!"

* CaptainObvious: Fred's astute observation skills when he shows the gang the problem under the Mystery Machine's hood. The engine is gone.
* EpicFail: The family in the cold open, or specifically the dad, were looking for New York. He manages to wind up in Gatorburg, which not only looks ''nothing'' like NY but is over two ''thousand'' miles away.


Added DiffLines:

* GhostTown: Gatorsburg. Once a thriving gator-based town, the collapse of the town's economy due to over-farming gators means it's been abandoned for a century. Current population, a mechanic, and his creepy sister and her creepy son.
* HellHotel: A creepy run-down hotel run by weird hillbilly types who don't see anything unusual about the claw marks on the wall, and insist no-one leave their rooms during the night, no matter what they hear, even "wailing, screaming, tearing, or the sound of a body being dragged across the floor."
* ItRunsOnNonseleneum: Gatorsberg mined alligators. No, that's not some unusual wording. They literally mined them like ''oil''.
* LampshadeHanging: Sheriff Stone arrests the culprits even as he points out that, since Gatorsburg isn't in his jurisdiction, he actually has no authority to do so. Seems he's tetchy about his fake gator-skin tracksuit.
* MyCarHatesMe: The Mystery Machine's engine is stolen, forcing the gang to stay in Gatorsburg. The minute the mystery is solved, the engine is returned without them seeing who did it.
