History WesternAnimation / ScoobyDooAndGuessWho

** Simone in ''Quit Clowning'' doesn't get much respect as a comedian, can't get Keenan to let her work with him and inadvertently [[spoiler:Spoils a trap while trying to do a clown routine]] but at the end of the episode [[spoiler:Gets to pie the culprit in the face and gets complimented for the comedic timing]].

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Maybe not in a romantic sense but in "Quit Clowning" Simone clearly feels left behind by Keenan since High School Drama Club and wants to still be part of his act.

** A mummified cat creature appears in episode 5.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "The 7th Inning Scare," the gang and Macklemore go to a baseball collectible store run by an old man. After a while, the monster seemingly gets the old man and soon enough, the store gets blown up. It's never revealed what happened to the old store owner and whether or not he even survived the explosion.

* AmbiguousSituation: In "Elementary My Dear Shaggy", it's never clarified whether Sherlock Holmes is an actor playing the part and taking {{Kayfabe}} a little too far, someone who lives it as his full-time lifestyle, or if it's even his real name.

* RedHerring:

** Taken UpToEleven in Morgan Freeman's {{Documentary}}-style episode, in which short interview clips with the gang's members has them comment on OnceAnEpisode gags, their respective uses of a CatchPhrase, etc.

** Mark Hamill's episode has plenty of references of him being [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]]. One person asks him to show off his "robotic hand", Shaggy asks him to use the JediMindTrick on Scooby, etc. In relation to his ''other'' famous role as ComicBook/TheJoker, Hamill slips into one of said character's trademark laughs.

* YouMeddlingKids: Coupled with whoever is accompanying them for the episode. Lampshaded by Ricky Gervais when he gets the villain to say this very line. In the George Takei episode, Velma lampshades it when somebody says the line before the unmasking.

* BeneathSuspicion: In a twist from the original series, where the guest star was mainly just along for the ride, there have been at least five episodes where the guest turns out to be the monster.

* AnimationBump: The episodes animated by Creator/SnippleAnimation tend to have more fluid and cartoony animation than the episodes by the Korean studios, which are more in line with the orignal series' LimitedAnimation.

* CatchPhrase:
** Mocked by Creator/RickyGervais, when he criticizes Scooby for just using his own name as his catchphrase. He likewise mocks Fred's new habit of saying "Hold the phone!"
** Velma also picks up a new catchphrase, saying "Suspicious", whenever she notes something, well, suspicious.
** Fred often uses "Hold on, gang!" when he's pulling some driving stunt with the Mystery Machine.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Played straight and inverted with the same character, [[VerbalTic even!]] Mudsy's mannerisms are more similar to WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}, borrowing his "Exit, stage left!" CatchPhrase twice, but he's dropped his old LovableCoward schtick for the most part and started playing up his role as TheGadfly to better contrast Shaggy and Scooby.

* WhatAreRecords: In "The Internet on Haunted House Hill!", when Velma says the titular house is haunted by the ghost of a guy who used to run a newspaper, Scooby asks what newspapers are.

* SameContentDifferentRating: The show is fairly light-hearted as your typical ''Scooby-Doo'' show, yet it carries a TV-PG rating, a first for the franchise. However, HBO Max lists the show's rating as TV-Y7. It's likely due to the fact that some of guest stars are from actors or characters from other media that isn't suitable for kids (eg Penn and Teller, Ricky Gervias).

* PteroSoarer: A pterosaur, resembling a ''Pteranodon'' with a serrated bill, serves as the MonsterOfTheWeek in the Billy Dee Williams episode. Its inaccuracies are justified by not being a real pterosaur.

* BareYourMidriff: Thorn in the episode "I Put a Hex on You!"

** The giant gorilla from "The Lost Mines of Mount Kilimanjaro!" correctly walks with its thumbs kept off the ground. Subverted, however, when its hands can form clenched fists for a PrimalChestPound, which real gorillas can't do.
