* TooAnnoyedToBeAfraid: The towering, sharp-toothed clown monster initially scares Velma more than Shaggy. He's too irritated that it's disrupting his attempts to defend his championship title for his normal scaredy-cat reaction to monsters to take over. The only time he reacts normally is when it swallows him whole...which renders ''Velma'' too furious to be afraid and leads to her beating the monster down with a golf club.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: Played with in a flashback when Velma gets an encyclopedia set for her birthday. Velma, being a CuteBookworm, is the type of person who would love something like that as a gift (and the viewers know that), however the clown hired for her birthday party didn't realize that, and ran them through a woodchipper to make confetti. This resulted in Velma having a lifelong phobia of clowns.

* AfraidOfClowns: Velma is too scared to solve the mystery because it involves a robot clown and she's afraid of clowns. However, unlike most examples, it's not because of the makeup -- she's afraid of them because one shredded some of her books when she was a kid.

While standing by to support Shaggy as he defends his title as the International Putt-Putt champion, the rest of the gang anticipates a peaceful interlude, only for one of the course decorations, a gigantic clown, to come to life and go on a rampage, cancelling the competition. Velma, thanks to childhood coulrophobia, goes to pieces while Shaggy, determined to continue the tournament, takes up the slack.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* ArtShift: When the gang first sees the clown, the art style suddenly shifts to a giant homage to ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' as Velma flashes back to the incident that caused her coulrophobia.
* MiniGolfEpisode: Shaggy competes in a tournament at "Putt-Putt Paradise", a mini-golf course haunted by a clown-shaped course obstacle that seemingly comes to life and attacks the mini-golfers.
* MonsterClown: A giant, mechanical clown with a high-pitched cackle attacks a mini-golf course. This is more of a problem than usual because Velma has a phobia of clowns.

* NotHimself: Shaggy becomes brave, if only because he didn't want a monster stopping him from winning the mini-golf tournament. Velma goes off cowering with Scooby as her childhood fear of clowns comes to the surface. [[RoleSwapPlot Rather than a perfect swap]], though, Shaggy acts more like a second Fred (much to his annoyance) instead of taking over Velma's spot. Though they revert to their old selves, along with Velma facing her fears.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Velma spends most of the episode trying desperately to avoid the clown and has to be bribed into acting as bait with a new (CD-ROM) set of encyclopedias. However, when it swallows Shaggy, her rage at the monster messing with her friend overwhelms her fear and she downs it with two smacks of a putter.
* RobotClown: As the title indicates, the villain is a giant robotic clown. It starts used as an obstacle on a mini-golf course, then comes to life to terrorize golfers. It turns out to be controlled by Mayor Snipper, who specifically built it to scare people away from the golf course because he believes that golf ruined his son's life.
