** Shaggy tries to brag that he saw a huge jackalope to Crystal. She's not impressed since now he's exaggerating its apparent size. Shaggy meekly begins shrinking the size of it, with Crystal remaining unimpressed until he finally admits it's actual size. Well, it that wasn't a [[IncrediblyLamePun hard]] example of this trope...

* DarkerAndEdgier

to:

* DarkerAndEdgierDarkerAndEdgier: The atmosphere is grimmer than usual ''Scooby-Doo'' fare with the threat of aliens lurking in the background, the mystery of what the government is up to, and the quiet town is a pretty bleak setting. However, see LighterAndSofter.



* DisneyAcidSequence: "Groovy" is Shaggy and Scooby's idyllic, sweet as honey daydream about their love for Crystal and Amber, featuring them climbing mountains and borderline psychedelic imagery since both Shaggy and Crystal are hippie-age lovers.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Lester claims that the aliens who abducted him did many invasive experiments on him - including what is implied to have been a ''very'' horrific AnalProbing. There's no dialogue and we see him telling this story from outside.
** While Shaggy continues to gush about Crystal, Dottie, the waitress, remarks "tastes better than it looks, sweetheart." Which is subtle enough to make it seem like she's talking about the food she's serving.

Directed by Jim Stenstrum, '''''Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders''''' is the third direct-to-video installment for the [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby-Doo franchise]], produced by [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros. Animation]] with a [[Creator/HannaBarbera Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.]] copyright.

Unlike the previous films, in spite of the [[DarkerAndEdgier grimmer]] atmosphere, it also had a [[LighterAndSofter lighter]] tone.

The gang is driving through the Sonoran Desert when a sandstorm comes up and Shaggy makes a wrong turn onto government property but only to lose control of the Mystery Machine when Shaggy sees an UFO and the gang find themselves on the outskirts of small town Roswell where people are supposedly being abducted by aliens. It’s up to the gang to solve the mystery.
