![]() Character Exaggeration: Each passing continuity will exaggerate at least one character.Captain Obvious: They will often point out things that are happening or just happened that should already be obvious to the viewer.Occasionally, early episodes would have some wild or barnyard critter that's much smaller than either of them swipe their food and swallow it whole. If Fred wants to find the monster, Shaggy will volunteer to investigate the kitchen and prepare a large snack for himself and Scooby - until the monster comes to interrupt the meal. Big Eater: Shaggy, Scooby, and occasionally Scrappy.Balloon Belly: A recurring gag for Shaggy and Scooby throughout the various shows and movies, thanks to their Big Eater characterization.And they mostly go about how they do any other mystery! Badass Normal: As the decades went by the gang grew from just local amateur sleuths to matching wits with superpowerful menaces ranging from Were-Cats, malicious A.I.s, evil sorcerers, and full-on Eldritch horrors.Returns back to status quo when the Winchesters decide to ask the ghost to pretend to be some guy in a costume. In the Supernatural crossover episode, they don't take it well when the Winchester brothers reveal that they're dealing with a real ghost in that episode.Though this is played straight near the end of the show, when Velma expresses skepticism that traveling through dreams and being hunted by a boogeyman is possible until it happens. In Mystery Incorporated, they're clearly used to dealing with more Darker and Edgier monsters that regularly harm people with dangerous gadgets (in the first episode alone, a monster uses what is implied to be biological waste to suck the moisture out of three people, who then look like dried out corpses and have to be hospitalized), to the point that they take the rising stakes and The Reveal that there are demon alien gods rather well.Arbitrary Skepticism: Depending on the Writer.Amateur Sleuth: They solve mysteries purely for the fun of it.Played straight with their last names - Blake, Dinkley, Rogers, and Jones, respectively.We have three relatively rare names: Daphne, Velma, and Norville ( Shaggy, that is), plus one more "normal" - Fred/Freddie (short for Frederick).And Scrappy himself goes from being annoying but competent to an egotistical psycho whose bite is nothing compared to his bark. Fred, Daphne, and Velma spend much of the film arguing, Scooby punches Fred in the face, Shaggy suggests after Fred and Velma are captured by monsters that he, Scooby and Daphne let them get eaten (the cartoon version of Shaggy is a coward, but he's not the kind of person that would abandon his friends), and a flashback shows them abandoning Scrappy - Scooby's nephew - in the middle of the desert. Adaptational Jerkass: They get hit with this hard in the first live-action movie, where they go from normal, likable people to borderline Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist for laughs.to actually fight the monsters instead of just arranging traps to capture the disguised criminals so they can unmask them. The most notable case would be video games such as Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem and Scooby-Doo: First Frights that require Mystery, Inc. ![]() Adaptational Badass: Most of the modern continuities will make one or more of the gang members stronger and more formidable than they were in the original show. ![]() Daphne wears Jean Shrimpton-Esque locks, Velma has a bowl bob, Fred has a prim moptop, and Shaggy has.
