All Fear The Freak is my all time favorite episode. The sequence where the freak stalks them is so creepy and scary, and of course the plot twist of Mayor Jones. All in all it’s the best for me
I kinda liked the ending of Mystery Inc. it kinda actually sets up to the original "Scooby Doo Where Are You?" on where/why they travel from town to town solving mysteries instead of just staying home or just simply going to college! (Or getting another job!) 🔎
But the gang's first misteries where the ones from Scooby Doo where are you? because the monsters were mentioned and showned in the museum of Crystal Cove before.I've seen a comment saying that if the ending connects with another show it would be What's new Scooby Doo?
@@andruspolanco6935 ah. It was a good theory. But yeah. In a episode they've had a museum about their past villains. So does that mean they only went mystery hunting in their spare time?
20:09 Actually Hot Dog Water made two appearances prior to that episode. She first debuted in “Where Walks Aphrodite” as “that weird smelly girl” some guy was dancing with in the beginning of the episode. She also made a cameo in the beginning of “The Dragon’s Secret”, but her first BiG appearance was in Menace of the Manticore.
If they ever attempt to create a new Scooby show, they’ll have a really high bar to live up to. But honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to reach that bar again. It’s almost a perfect Scooby-Doo show, to the point that the “Bad” episodes are just meh or forgettable. And with the HBO Velma show having come out, it proves my point.
The tapioca thing was added to urban dictionary after the episode aired. It was a joke about weird sexual college initiations anyway, but people made the urban dictionary post to add to the meme
She's played by the same woman that did the live action Scooby movies. No wonder I recognized her voice 😂 And Velma is the same woman that did the What's New Scooby Doo? Show
The implications of the horrible herd being released into the world is so, so terrifying. I remember thinking “thank god the gang created an alternate timeline”
"When the Cicada Calls" is my personal favorite because I am definitely one of those people who gets freaked out by swarming bugs and it's the biggest example of the show's capacity for real horror. Also, because it contains references to Higurashi When They Cry which is totally unexpected.
Sheriff Stone's alien freakout episode is so much funnier when you know that he also voiced one of the aliens in Chicken Little, specifically an alien cop at the end of the movie (Source: It's impossible to forget the voice of Sheriff Stone)
An additional thing to enhance the finale is the way it homages past entries in the franchise, not just with the return of the iconic running animation, and if memory serves it's the finale that finally sees Shaggy bust out the catch phrase, but also the scene where the gang are running towards the sarcophagus and keep tossing the spear from member to member evokes the scene with the control panel from Monsters Unleashed
Well the Heart of Evil is one of my favorites. Blue Falcon is odd because it’s based on the huge darker Batman they made but as for Dynomutt? LOVED IT. He’s even voiced by Frank Welker(voiced Freddy and Scooby) who also voiced Dynomutt years ago and his cartoon was no stranger to Scooby and the gang. A bonus, Johnny Quest is part of this episode as well.
The villain of Heart of Evil is Dr. Zin, who was actually the villain of Johnny Quest, which ties back to the device he was trying to steal being made by Quest Industries!
I love how they have the scene of the group in first episode (the highfives and the panning to each member as they something and do little gestures) then do it again at the very end
how i’m i now realizing that episode 20 of season 2 is literally based on Adam and the Ants’ “Stand and Deliver” as well as the villain being HEAVILY inspired by Adam’s outfit in the music video and the album cover
When Friar Sera says "listen to the warning from the alligators," I thought he was referencing the gators that took and killed Porto and never made the connection to episode 2. That's really cool and I'm glad you pointed it out!
The "spooky wood" wasn't based on a real-world thing, but it *was* something of an homage to the old suspense-story trope of a villain slipping drugs into a victim's food/drink/tobacco/skin cream/lamp oil/whatever to make them hallucinate.
Two little tidbits I wanted to add… maybe I know this but Ernesto is based off Che Guevara im pretty sure and that reference is funny to me. So many college students with Che shirts… idk I love that lil commentary/reference. Also the girls in the gathering gloom (The Bjorklund’s) are meant to be Swedish. I know their clothes look like lederhosen (german dress) but trust me they are swede stereotypes. I say this as a Swede myself.
I'm sorry but my favorite episode has to be Dance of the Undead. The evil band is so amazing and their song is so fucking catchy is scary. But I have always been a massive fan of the hex girls and I love them so much. I also love what the creators did with the gang. I love that they showed that Shaggy and Scooby aren't completely helpless or unable to do anything. Also, the villain's reasoning and plans are so smart to me, and actually has a great program.
2:51 Actually, I noticed that the punchline for the "obvious culprit joke" IS there. But it seems like somewhere along the line they forgot to include the joke in the script.
Mystery Incorporated is my favorite Scooby Doo series. I watched it when I was 6, and it definitely greatly influenced the person I am now. Also according to my mom I figured out who the monster was before they revealed it most of the time.
Did you watch the very first series of Scooby Doo after mystery inc? If so, what did you think of it? It’s pretty scary and dark by todays standards of children’s television
I was scared of the monster from "Beware The Beast From Below" as a kid and kinda forgot about it until It appeared in my dream as a monster I was running from some time ago. I, as an artist kinda know why I thought it was scary to younger me. It was in the swears(Or something like that) and around the time I first watch it, I had to wait or walk to my bus stop near those vents(Or whatever those things are to let water into the sewers after rain. You know, the ones without any covers.) "So I was scared it might get me when I was waiting for the bus. Also the face.
That happy tapioca joke was something i never understood. I thought it was just some random shit they made up until now. The more you know, i guess Also, my fav episode has always been Dance Of The Dead. Close seconds are Night Terrors, All Fear The Freak and Song Of Mystery. My least favorite WAS The Headless Horror, but after watching this vid i think i'll give it another chance
dance of the undead was always my favorite too. i also liked in mystery solvers state finals that the animation style throughout resembles the 70s style of animation for hanna barbera.
also one of characters is FRED witch means I can make a awful amung us joke about how someone is being a imposter witch means FRED Jones is the Imposter
I'm really mixed on this Scooby-Doo series; there are a lot of elements it does differently which I like (an overarching story/mystery, a lot of backstory and world building, and recurring characters), but there are certain elements I don't like (certain traits and the romances with the characters, staying mostly in 1 town where the adults don't like the gang, and there being real monsters/demons as the main villains at the end of the series).
One of my favorite episodes was the gator one cause the design of the costumes were actually terrifying to me as a kid and that tall doods voice for some reason terrified me for some reason as a kid😂
Something that just occured to me about the Cicada episode is that it implys one of the characters dies correct? Well the Villain in the DreamWeaver(S2) episode is shown to be living in the same house that the guy from the cicada episode (which takes place in S1) was in which further suggests he did actually die.
The sirens song episode about the environmentalists wanting to pollute the environment to save it, that's pretty much what they still do today in real life
Just finished rewatching the series, and its still amazing. Personally, there's only one episode I didn't like. Most I found amazing, enjoyable, and there were a few misses but they were forgivable due to the rest of the content in the episode. That episode I didn't like, however, would be "Stand And Deliver". The villain was downright annoying, wasn't even a monster, it heavily stretched a (bluntly sexist) single tactic to make the episode work despite the guy blowing up people's cars he somehow wins over most women in Crystal Cove? Keep in mind, this was S2 E20, only 6 episodes away from the finale, and anything contributing to the big mystery could easily be moved to another episode. Still love the series, this is just one bad apple in a bucket full of the sweetest on the tree.
Pros: Most of the Monsters The story The characters (especially the sheriff) The art style The action Plenty of the jokes The fact that most monsters have their own theme Cons: That stupid love triangle between Shaggy Scooby and Velma that makes me regret existence The Daphne x Fred sub plot at times,even if it’s not objectively bad You can’t watch any episode in any order you like Destroy do and how not subtle it is and how it doesn’t get a (proper or direct) defeat Professor Percicles at certain times in Season 2 (he just rubs me the wrong way at times)
I really need to know how ladderton managed to drive the ghost truck with it's wheels on fire, or how they just start burning and stop burning within seconds. CGI? Real Fire? Anyone have an answer? I really can't find an answer.
This is late by a lot but you got "The Siren's Song" plot wrong. The activists weren't trying to create an oil spill to protest something new, they were drilling for oil to sell it to fund their protest because "being a green roots activists was expensive." When the gang hear this and are like,, y'all are dumb why would you harm the environment as activists they add that sometimes you go to destroy the earth to save it. It's very silly but can be a commentary on how some activists like to play moral superiority but really don't care at all, or even how some activists turn blind eyes to other causes that aren't theirs because it's not their job to care.
It was a great show! Very flawed (some elements completely messing up separate Scooby canons, poorly handled romance and main gang, melodramatic dialogue writing and certain moments which go from dark to very light, too quickly) but still amazing! The spooky atmosphere, the overarching mystery, the truly disturbing elements within it! This cannot be recreated. My third favourite iteration of Scooby Doo.
All Fear The Freak is my all time favorite episode. The sequence where the freak stalks them is so creepy and scary, and of course the plot twist of Mayor Jones. All in all it’s the best for me
Gave me nightmares as a kid lmao
Something I only now just noticed is that the title of the first episode: "Beware The Beast From Below", is actually referring to the Evil Entity.
holy shit I never knew that
Huh goddamn that is amazing
THEY PLANNED ALL THE STORY FROM THE START?
@@massimilianoreali4398 yes yes they did they actully planned more but never got a season 3
WOAH
The fact that there is 20 S rank episodes really shows just how good this show was
the worst epsiode is called decent

@@andruspolanco6935 either be cool or what's new
Isn't it something about the ending undoing every mystery they ever solved? That would include the ones at the museum.

She also made a cameo in the beginning of “The Dragon’s Secret”, but her first BiG appearance was in Menace of the Manticore.
Yeah, this dude made a bunch of mistakes
They said “properly introduced” because it was her first big appearance other than the two minor ones you mentioned.
@@stumbling_ Fair
This show was filled to the brim with amazing episodes
Agreed. This show is great.

damn why? make something innocent into something disturbing
@@JimboProlol what? It was already an innuendo adding the definition just adds to it
@@JimboPro you know the writer's intention was already dirty minded don't you?
So Marcy is played by a former Velma? Guess that makes her final line “that’s my girl” all the more sensible
She's played by the same woman that did the live action Scooby movies. No wonder I recognized her voice 😂
And Velma is the same woman that did the What's New Scooby Doo? Show
The implications of the horrible herd being released into the world is so, so terrifying. I remember thinking “thank god the gang created an alternate timeline”
You know a show is good when the worst episode are C tier
"When the Cicada Calls" is my personal favorite because I am definitely one of those people who gets freaked out by swarming bugs and it's the biggest example of the show's capacity for real horror. Also, because it contains references to Higurashi When They Cry which is totally unexpected.

He was also Kronk from Emperors New Groove!
@@catfunkadelic Pretty sure he also voiced Brock Sampson in Venture Brothers, and has made at least 1 appearance in Archer.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Patrick Warburton
Patrick Warburton is the GOAT
Okay no Gatorsburg is top tier because of the little history montage: “but then the gator mines ran dry...”
Lol
Sorgy we ran outta gators
Gatorsburg is cancelled forever until we can get more gators
An additional thing to enhance the finale is the way it homages past entries in the franchise, not just with the return of the iconic running animation, and if memory serves it's the finale that finally sees Shaggy bust out the catch phrase, but also the scene where the gang are running towards the sarcophagus and keep tossing the spear from member to member evokes the scene with the control panel from Monsters Unleashed
Or the paper from the crepper
i caught that reference too! made me so happy
22:53 The horrible herd, absolutely traumatised me as a kid
that was song of mystery for me, couldn't bring myself to watch it until i was like 13
Well the Heart of Evil is one of my favorites.
Blue Falcon is odd because it’s based on the huge darker Batman they made but as for Dynomutt? LOVED IT.
He’s even voiced by Frank Welker(voiced Freddy and Scooby) who also voiced Dynomutt years ago and his cartoon was no stranger to Scooby and the gang.
A bonus, Johnny Quest is part of this episode as well.
The villain of Heart of Evil is Dr. Zin, who was actually the villain of Johnny Quest, which ties back to the device he was trying to steal being made by Quest Industries!
I love how they have the scene of the group in first episode (the highfives and the panning to each member as they something and do little gestures) then do it again at the very end
Shaggy ready to murder Mr. E in Heart of Evil was the funniest shit. My man was straight up done with the man’s cryptic bullshit.
Absolutely
The haunting of Crystal Cove is my favorite episode of the entire show, especially because of how clever the villain turned out to be
Based
“song of mystery” is my childhood
no bc that shit traumatized me from when i was like 5 till i was 13
I love Bronson and his catchphrase: "SHERIFF BRONSON STONE!"
7:07 "I don't even know who you are"
"I understood that reference"
The horrible herd is probably the episode that scared me the most
how i’m i now realizing that episode 20 of season 2 is literally based on Adam and the Ants’ “Stand and Deliver” as well as the villain being HEAVILY inspired by Adam’s outfit in the music video and the album cover
Scooby villain ranking (in progress):
1. The Masked Man (SD2)
2. Crybaby Clown
3. Man Crab
Sherrif Stone is the GOAT
i dissagree with your placement of ''in fear of the phantom'' should be way higher for how memorable it is and for how good Daphne's song is
I thought I was alone man that Dead RIght Mate song was fire
10:18 i didn't know frickin Che guevarra was a Scooby-Doo vilain
Sheriff Stone closing the door on the Cenobites, what a chad.
When Friar Sera says "listen to the warning from the alligators," I thought he was referencing the gators that took and killed Porto and never made the connection to episode 2. That's really cool and I'm glad you pointed it out!

Some of the best scooby media have real monsters
Your dislikes I love.
i agree the romance was too much and it's just awkward to watch in front of your parents
@@JimboPro I disagree
Agree with everything you have said except for the real monsters part. Sometimes, it's exciting when the villain is not just someone in a mask.
The creeping creatures gave me nightmares for weeks when I watched it though so for me at least it was the most effective.
I might be wrong on this but mr.chen spunds like po's dad
One of my favorite episodes was the gator one cause the design of the costumes were actually terrifying to me as a kid and that tall doods voice for some reason terrified me for some reason as a kid😂
God I love Lewis Black as Mr. E
24:05 oh my god. I can’t believe it took me this long to figure out that Night Ranger is Dururu Rururu!!!
the dandy highwayman was the original rizzler
I actually really liked Grim Judgement
It was scary af for me
Same.
I think you forgot The Gathering Gloom. I really like that episode too!
Yeah, That was definetly a fun episode
Actually it's here 17:25
This show was the bomb and I was really hoping that it would continue but no instead we got “Velma” the woke version of Scooby-Doo coming out soon
Don't watch it it's awful
What do you mean when you say woke?
Idk what you mean by woke but if this has something to do with Velma’s sexuality, her and Marcy (hot dog water) were a confirmed a thing…
My ranking is completely different but I respect yours, you put one of my favorite episodes last but it’s okay!
22:32 MR PING 😱😱😱😱
I used to think that the guy in the crab was Mr E 😂😂😂😂😂

The sirens song episode about the environmentalists wanting to pollute the environment to save it, that's pretty much what they still do today in real life
When the Cicadas Call is one of the main reasons I have insecaphobia. To me, it IS the scarriest episode in mystery incorporated.
this is so much better than VELMA
Nightmare in red was really one of the first episodes of anything to really scare me
Song of mystery SCARED THE SHIT out of me as a kid
The only thing that sucked about Mystery Inc was that they never added season 2 to the game
crystal cove online was elite
Nightmare in red gave me actual nightmares as a kid its one of my favorites
Man, I really wish there were a full version of "dead right mate."

Number 22, I think, is based around the movie Big Trouble in Little China.
The Hodag episode is my favorite because I live in Wisconsin which is where it is from
Stand and deliver is very good episode ❤ top 20 in my opinion
Daphne is pretty in this show
Pros: Most of the Monsters
The story
The characters (especially the sheriff)
The art style
The action
Plenty of the jokes
The fact that most monsters have their own theme
Cons: That stupid love triangle between Shaggy Scooby and Velma that makes me regret existence
The Daphne x Fred sub plot at times,even if it’s not objectively bad
You can’t watch any episode in any order you like
Destroy do and how not subtle it is and how it doesn’t get a (proper or direct) defeat
Professor Percicles at certain times in Season 2 (he just rubs me the wrong way at times)
you're lying to yourself if you think this show ended satisfyingly
35:44 German robots From WW2 not NAZI after all that evil noble did have diplomatic immunity
scooby doo 10/10
All fear the freak is the best episode of the show. no-one can change my mind.
Amazing show
actually, in an episode of Drake and Josh didn't drake started to get rashes because he stopped eating junk food and couldn't it be the same for her.
12:02 this is so true 😂
Just subbed
This is my favorite cartoon
The guy who plays Baylor hotner is voiced Matt lanter aka anakin skywalker from Star Wars the clone wars
I really need to know how ladderton managed to drive the ghost truck with it's wheels on fire, or how they just start burning and stop burning within seconds. CGI? Real Fire?
Anyone have an answer? I really can't find an answer.
Bro there is a lady hypnotizing thousands of cicadas with sound waves and you’re questioning how a guy made it look like he has fire on his tires
