''Scoo-oby, a pup named Scooby-Doo (Scooby-dooby doo, scooby-doo!)'' }}
''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'' is a cartoon show featuring [[Spinoff Babies|younger versions]] of the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' cast (but is
The show was a lot wackier and zanier than the original show. It hung plenty of lampshades on tropes used by the previous incarnations of the series. The show also made significant changes in the primary cast from the original source, justified in that they were younger and less mature versions of the original characters.
If that description sounds familiar, by the way, there's a reason for that: The team at H-B that created APNSD [[Spiritual Successor|is also responsible for]] ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' and ''[[
More recently, the concept of revisiting the cast in their earlier years appeared in the movie ''[[Scooby
Notable as the last series in which Don Messick played Scooby
The show uses several of the same tropes as the original series as well as many of its own.
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adorkable]]: Velma
* [[Agent Scully]]: At the end of "Ghost Who's Coming to Dinner" Daphne still doesn't believe in ghosts even after spending nearly the whole episode interacting with one.
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
* [[Bag of Holding]]: Sugie's diaper bag.
* [[Big Eater]]: Both Scooby and Shaggy.
* [[Bigger
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Many of the same from the original series and many others.
** "Jinkies."
*** "Velma said, 'Jinkies.' It must be a clue."
** After Shaggy makes an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]:

'''Scooby:''' (after much laughing) "I don't get it."<ref> This had actually been done before in at least one version of the main franchise.</ref> }}
** "Zoinks!"
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Delicious Distraction]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Daphne
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Daphne's parents "count money" on Tuesday nights, which lasts until the next day. Also, Scooby's reaction to eating a Scooby Snack. He moans with pleasure, then shoots into the sky as fireworks go off, and finally drifts back to earth with a happy smile on his face. Oh, and Shaggy usually holds him afterwards. This seems to be a [[Shout
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]:
{{quote|
** This was made all the more deliciously ironic considering that Shaggy seemes every bit the stoner he always was, even as a kid in this series. Or maybe he's just a goof.
* [[Efficient Displacement]]: In the opening sequence.
* [[Everybody Do the Endless Loop]]: Lampshaded by the characters yelling "Start the music!" whenever one started. The chase montages were even filled with clips of the characters (and sometimes the monster) dancing.
* [[The Drag Along]]
* [[Fair Play
* [[Feud Episode]]: Shaggy and Scooby refusing to speak to each other throughout one episode, which hinders the gang's attempts at solving a mystery involving a [[Giant Food|giant]] [[Anthropomorphic Food|monster hamburger.]]
* [[Five-Man Band]]
Line 63 ⟶ 64:
* [[Hanna-Barbera]]
* [[Headless Horseman]]: Actually, the headless skateboarder. No joke.
{{quote|
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Becca from ''Life Goes On'' was Daphne.
** [[Scott Menville|Ma-Ti]] -- and the later (temporary) voice of Shaggy -- is Red Herring.
* [[I Broke a Nail]] / [[Super OCD]]: Daphne
* [[Identity Amnesia]]: Shaggy loses his memory and believes himself to be his hero, Commander Cool.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Fred becomes a hilarious ignoramus in this show, a characterization that stuck for a while, showing up in the live action movies, and every once in a while in ''[[What's New, Scooby
* [[Just Eat Him]]: "Like, Scooby-Doo just ''ate the Cheese Monster''!"
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: While [[Scooby Doo|the original]] wasn't necessarily all that scary, this is even more lighthearted.
** Also [[Denser and Wackier]], as this series is also a LOT more cartoony than the original series.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]
* [[Lost in Imitation]]: This show developed the personalities of the heroes much more than the original show - Velma's braininess, Daphne's wealth, and Freddy's idiocy all became signature traits and have been a part of the franchise since.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Red Herring. Freddy ''always'' suspects him, to the point where other characters start to [[Lampshade Hanging]] this, but he was only the culprit once.
** And that one time was the one time Freddy wasn't allowed to accuse him.
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: In some episodes, the characters would talk to the viewers directly after catching the monster, asking them if they had figured out who the monster is.
* [[Notable Original Music]]: Many episodes had an original song based around the [[Monster of the Week]], which was often played [[Once an Episode|during the chase]]
* [[Occult Detective]]
* [[Once an Episode]]: Freddy blames [[Red Herring]] for being behind everything.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Velma and Daphne in a couple of episodes. In past series, Velma's panties were colored the same as her skirt. Here they're white.
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* [[Teen Genius|Pre-Teen Genius]]: Velma went from being [[The Smart Guy]] to being an [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]], having [[Reed Richards Is Useless|a super-computer devoted solely to crime-solving stuffed in a briefcase]], and doing work for NASA even.<ref> Although the "real" Velma was referred to as working for NASA in a few episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries.</ref>
* [[Pro Wrestling Episode]]: "Wrestle Maniacs".
* [[Red Herring]]: Short of using an actual red fish, you just can't get more literal than this: Red Herring was the name of an actual character. [[Once an Episode]], Freddy would accuse him of being the culprit; the accusation always came out of nowhere, with zero evidence to support it. Fred's logic was that Red was a jerk, and thus must be the villain. Red would always respond with an airtight alibi. There was one episode where Red actually WAS guilty. This was, of course, the one time Fred ''didn't'' accuse him (the other characters had made a bet with Freddy that he couldn't go a case without accusing Red of anything). This led to him have a miniature [[Heroic BSOD]], where he lay on the ground, pounding it with his fists while crying [[I Knew It!|"I knew it! I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it!"]]
* [[Running
* [[Running Gag]]: Among others, Freddy accusing Red Herring of everything.
* [[Scooby
* [[Shaggy Search Technique]]: Surprisingly, Scooby pulls it off more frequently than [[Trope Namers|Shaggy]].
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Velma. In early episodes her only lines in the entire show were "Jinkies" and the name of the real crook. (When this happened, the other characters would usually exclaim: "Velma talked!" in complete astonishment.) Later episodes gave her more lines, with Jinkies instead becoming her [[Verbal Tic]] that she'd found a clue.
* [[Snub By Omission]]: After the villains are revealed, they will say the traditional, "And I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids." Many times, Scooby would have to remind them to finish by saying, "Oh, and that puppy."
* [[Speech-Impaired Animal]]
* [[Spinoff Babies|Spin-Off Kids]]
