'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: In episode 10.
* [[Big Eater]]: In episode 23, Scooby says his stomach needs a stomach.
Line 14 ⟶ 18:
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Brain Bleach]]: In episode 8 after witnessing the "secret pirate".
{{quote|
* [[Butt Monkey]]: More than Shaggy in this series.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Scooby Dooby Doo!", as usual
Line 25 ⟶ 29:
** Don't forget him taking charge in "Mystery Solvers Club States Finals"!
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Surprisingly.
{{quote|
'''Scooby-Doo:''' Choke on it. }}
* [[Determinator]]: {{spoiler|If his ending phrase to Pericles isn't this, then what is? He's promising to the bird that he'll get the gang back together to stop him.}}
* [[Woman Scorned|Dog Scorned]]
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Supine.
* [[Funny Animal]]
* [[It Has Been an Honor]]: In episode 5, when Scooby and Shaggy are moments away from impending doom at the hands of spookified children.
{{quote|
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Scooby is the same [[Lovable Coward]] he always was, but if you're trying to kill his friends, he will '' {{spoiler|[[Forklift Fu|murder you with a forklift]]}}''.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: To Shaggy.
* [[Out of Focus]]: More focus so far has been going into pulling out the human cast from their "traditional" characterizations, so Scooby hasn't been in the [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|spotlight]] as much. However, Season Two may be entire focused on him, trying to bring the gang back together and to hunt down Pericles.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: He seems to be taking this role recently.
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]: In episode 10. {{spoiler|"PLAY DEAD!"}} Granted, he said it to a robot, but still, Scoob was all business as he delivered the final blow.
* [[Speech-Impaired Animal]]: Your [[Trope Codifier]] at work. Arguably upgraded to [[Talking Animal]], as he tends to speak in much longer sentences and no longer begins each word with an "R" sound.
** In Episode 20, Velma reminds him that he's next to impossible to understand on the phone.
* [[Skyward Scream]]: In episode 8.
{{quote|
* [[Stealth Insult]]:
** "Freddie. You're a special boy."
** After forgiving Shaggy, Scooby tells him "You're the only dummy for me."
** At the end of episode eighteen:
{{quote|
'''Scooby:''' [[Mythology Gag|"Yeah. Buffoon."]] }}
* [[Team Pet]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Took a Level
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|Episode 16 has him get hoodwinked into helping Professor Pericles steal a treasure}} so he can stop a lesser deluded maniac.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Shaggy sees Scooby as not just a dog, but his best friend. Which leads to [[Friend Versus Lover|problems]]...
=== Norville "Shaggy" Rogers ===

'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ask a Stupid Question]]: Shaggy does this all the time, though he did provide the sarcastic answer once:
{{quote|
'''Shaggy:''' One that's industrious and has a degree in engineering? }}
* [[Big Eater]]: As usual.
Line 70 ⟶ 77:
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Phlegmatic.
* [[Friend Versus Lover]]: Caught between Scooby and Velma, mainly because he used the idea that Scooby wouldn't approve to avoid letting the others know they were dating. Shaggy tried to take Velma to the prom without telling Scooby first, leaving Scooby behind. Eventually, he caught them alone, accusing Shaggy of "cheating on him". [[It Got Worse|It went downhill from there.]] In episode 10, he chooses {{spoiler|Scooby. Velma}}, of course, is pissed.
** Shaggy tries to get back with Velma, and she seems to reciprocate before eventually telling him she no longer feels that way about him.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Scooby. And boy, did the decision break Velma's heart.
** {{spoiler|His parents want to separate the two now; if we take the 'farm' comment though, just how long are they going to be separated?}}
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Severely averted in episode 5 by the tight pants Velma bought for Shaggy and insists he wears. He could barely walk in them, let alone look good in them. He goes back to his oversized pants at the end.
{{quote|
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Like Is, Like, a Comma]]:
** Episode 5 lampshades this with Velma making him or someone else pinch him with a wristband every time he does it.
** [[Harlan Ellison]] chews him out for it in episode 12.
{{quote|
* [[Look a Distraction]]: Pulls this on Scooby and Velma in episode 9 when they have him cornered with a [[Friend Versus Lover]] shake-down.
* [[Lovable Coward]]
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Now that the Velma/Shaggy/Scooby [[Love Triangle]] is over, he has taken this role along with Scooby.
* [[Raised by Wolves|Raised By A Large Great Dane Mix]]: If his parents' attitude toward him is any indication, he was probably raised more by Scooby than his parents.
* [[Took a Level
=== Velma Dinkley ===
▲[[File:vlcsnap-2011-05-18-11h47m36s34_1651.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't tell her you don't want to go to prom with her. {{spoiler|Or choose your best friend/dog over her}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie]]}}: {{spoiler|Episode 26 was probably the start of a long road of pain that Velma's gonna have to endure for her actions.}}
Line 97 ⟶ 106:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Velma now has small side hairbows.
* [[Friend Versus Lover]]: With Shaggy vs. Scooby, and Velma suffered the ignominy of losing her romantic interest to ''his dog''.
** Late in season 1, Shaggy comes back around to showing romantic interest in Velma. She seems to reciprocate at first, then tells him she no longer feels that way and hopes they can still be friends. The following episode, she says she "sent him back to his dog," implying that she may very well still feel romantic feelings for Shaggy, but is afraid she'll give into them, only to be dumped for Scooby a second time.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Choleric.
* [[Hollywood Nerd]]
* [[I Wish It
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Usually, but averted in episode 4 - Velma has to hold her skirt down, denying a [[Panty Shot]], after she gets catapulted into the air by the Man Crab.
* [[Meganekko]]: It helps that this version is quite different than past ones. In past incarnations, Velma was a kinda pudgy, [[Hollywood Ugly]] stereotypical nerd. ''This'' Velma, however, is quite svelte, while keeping the bust & butt, much cuter, and apparently has a libido to match Shaggy's appetite.
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|You know that whole thing about keeping Angel's identity a secret? Well, remember your line of 'I guess we're not a team anymore' in episode 11? Well, you called it, kiddo!}}
Line 111 ⟶ 120:
* [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]]
* [[Teen Genius]]: Of course.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Tsundere]]: Very much. One scene has a quick glimpse of her as a borderline [[Yandere]].
* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]}}: {{spoiler|Chewed out by Daphne after Fred is going to leave to find his parents and breaks up Mystery Inc. because of her hiding the fact that she knew who Angel was all along.}}
* [[Woman Scorned]]: When Shaggy tries backing out of going to the prom, Velma gets so mad that she kicks down, not one, but two tombstones.
* [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious]]: You know Velma's really pissed at Shaggy when, in episode 11, she calls him by his proper name.
{{quote|
=== Fred "Freddie" Jones ===
▲[[File:vlcsnap-2011-05-18-11h47m28s219_1071.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie]]}}: {{spoiler|Oh poor Fred, you can't help but want to hug him after what Mayor Jones revealed in episode 26.}}
** [[It Gets Worse]]: The entirety of the season 2 premiere. That is all.
Line 139 ⟶ 150:
** Again in episode 13. Daphne overhears him call the biology teacher, whom they think is behind the cicada attacks, a "girlfriend stealer".
** Zig-zagged in episode 15 after Daphne kisses him:
{{quote|
* [[Ditzy Genius]] / [[Genius Ditz]]: As usual, Fred, though he keeps a closer balance between brilliant but oblivious, a la ''What's New Scooby Doo'', and a moron with a few smart areas, a la ''[[A Pup Named Scooby
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Melancholic.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Has his moments, such as when its revealed he has all his friends houses booby-trapped to protect from monsters or how {{spoiler|he gives the disc to Shaggy and Scooby in episode 21 because no one would suspect them of carrying anything important...but then THAT was discovered by Angel...}}
Line 170 ⟶ 181:
* [[Tin Man]]: Fred ''thinks'' that real men don't have feelings, and is very confused by the fact he ''does'', in fact, have feelings... for traps... and Daphne.
** Episode 23 shows that Fred is probably controlling of Daphne because his mom disappeared and he's afraid Daphne could as well. Daphne assures him it's not happening.
** Episode 24: After Fred's dad declines to thank him for solving the mystery, a disconsolate Fred finds consolation in the only person he believes understands
** {{spoiler|But now...the engagement's off thanks to the Mayor revealing that he isn't Fred's dad.}}
* [[Trap Master]]
Line 179 ⟶ 190:
=== Daphne Blake ===
▲[[File:vlcsnap-2011-05-18-11h47m31s249_8994.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her Hex Girl outfit.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]:
** Averted in episode 2, when she demonstrates that the alligator products are fake by invoking her allergies to synthetic animal skins. We're given a good long look at huge red pustules all along her arm.
** And averted even harder in episode 4, when we're shown a flashback to her sister's wedding and her allergic reaction to shellfish It wasn't pretty.
*** Also averted when Fred's ejection seat throws her out of the Mystery Machine. Her bruised face shows how she landed.
* [[Big Eater]]: In episode 19, she's seen eating as much as Scooby and Shaggy due to her dinner date with Fred canceled after waiting 2 hours for a booth.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Episode 26. {{spoiler|She is absolutely devastated when Fred cancels their engagement.}}
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: To Fred.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Sometimes.
{{quote|
* [[Composite Character]]: Being most like the first show's version, but more clever and resourceful, like her later incarnations.
* [[
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Still has her Alice band.
* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]: Because she's tied up above him, Daphne overhears Fred expressing frustration {{spoiler|about his feelings}} toward her and how {{spoiler|he wishes}} he didn't care {{spoiler|so much}} about her. After she falls from her captivity, she misses {{spoiler|his realization that he does love her}}.
Line 201 ⟶ 214:
* [[Magic Skirt]]: In her Hex Girls outfit.
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: Seems to be a common problem with Daphne.
{{quote|
'''Daphne:''' But I don't even like meat! I like vegetables... like Fred. }}
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Spends most of episode 4 in a bikini, and there's a scene where Velma rubs suntan lotion on her back. Her Hex Girl outfit in Episode 7 is also very revealing as is her nightie in Episode 15, when the gang and Sheriff Stone are in her bedroom.
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Averted '''hard''', as seen in episode 7. Anyone who's seen "[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Mayhem of the Music Meister]]" knows how well Daphne's voice actress sings.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: She has many to tell concerning her family. The latest is that her sister Dawn tried to train chickens to spell her name as part of an engagement announcement.
* [[Purple Eyes]]: Matching her dress.
* [[Redheaded Hero
* [[Self-Induced Allergic Reaction]]: Daphne does this to check the quality of gator goods as fake animal skins make her break out.
* [[Shaggy Search Technique]]: Pulls this off in episode 8.
* [[Tastes Like Feet]]: Daphne describes a book as smelling like "old clam chowder being gargled by a seal".
* [[That Man Is Dead|That Girl Is Dead]]: Daphne pulls a temporary version, directed at Fred, when she takes the name Crush for her short stint with the Hex Girls. Naturally lost on Fred.
{{quote|
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level
** She also did this in Episode Six, where she becomes 'Crush' in the Hex Girls. She even goes as far to ''write a song'' about how she just can't wait for Fred. She's back to normal in the next episode, though.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: She seems to be this to her parents, who expect her to live up to her successful quadruplet (or is it quintuplet?) older sisters. When she balks at going to the same college where they all graduated before age 13, her mother tells her to her face she wishes Daphne had been a boy.
Line 224 ⟶ 237:
=== {{spoiler|Mayor Fred Jones Sr.}} ===
▲[[File:char_16462_2483.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: {{spoiler|Even though he originally kidnapped Freddy as a hostage against his real parents, he seems to have grown to love the kid in the years of pretending to be his father, enough to save Freddy's life at the cost of being captured. However, given his character, it's hard to believe he may not have alternate reasons for doing so.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Revealed to be the main villain of season 1 when it comes out that he was responsible for the disappearance of the original Mystery Inc., and thus the entire plot. He's also been manipulating the present Mystery Inc. to try and find the treasure as well.}}
Line 240 ⟶ 255:
** {{spoiler|He knew the members cause he became the Freak and wanted the treasure for himself. He even made a deal with Pericles and then backstabbed them. Oh and what makes him so evil? He snatched Brad and Judy's son and made him Fred Jones, Jr.}}
* {{spoiler|[[I Want Grandkids]]: He never says this to Freddie, but he does lament something similar to Sheriff Stone while watching Freddie and Daphne's abysmal second date.}}
{{quote|
** {{spoiler|He won't since his son really isn't his son.}}
* [[I Wish It
* [[Jerkass]]: {{spoiler|He is willing to let "spookified" children remain untreated, possibly remaining monsters ''forever'', just for the sake of tourism. This isn't even the worst thing he does for said tourism.}}
** {{spoiler|His cruelty and lack of concern for the safety of his own son borders on him being an actual villain at times.}}
Line 250 ⟶ 265:
* {{spoiler|[[Mayor Pain]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Name's the Same]]: His name is Fred Jones Sr., but often referred to as Mayor Jones.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Obviously Evil]]: In hindsight - it's easy to see he was [[Jerkass|a jerk]], but the reveal is [[Big Bad|just how much.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Parental Neglect]]: Easily the ''worst'' of the kids' parents}}. {{spoiler|Even more so when episode 26 came around}}
* [[Pet the Dog]]: {{spoiler|He did so much damage in the series to become irredeemable, but when Fred was about to fall off a cliff, he saved him from falling to his death.}}
Line 261 ⟶ 276:
=== Professor Pericles ===
▲[[File:asert_3704.png|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Affably Evil]]
** [[Faux Affably Evil]]: When things are not going his way, he will lose all pretense of courtesy.
Line 268 ⟶ 286:
* [[Badass Boast]]: "I am the smartest criminal parrot in the world! You think I wouldn't have [[Crazy Prepared|a backup plan!?]] [[Evil Laugh|Hahahahaha]]!"
* [[Big Bad]]: As part of a [[Big Bad Ensemble]] with {{spoiler|Mayor Jones}} for season 1, being a much more direct version of this trope than his fellow [[Big Bad]], causing direct problems for the gang most of the time and {{spoiler|was part of how it all started when he betrayed the original Mystery Inc. to side with Mayor Jones}}. And once {{spoiler|Mayor Jones has been revealed and dealt with,}} Pericles is set up as the [[Big Bad]] of season 2 and the whole series.
* [[Big Eater]]: Implied with the flashback in episode 25.
{{quote|
** Not to mention the [[Weaksauce Weakness|sunflower seed]] business in episode 23.
{{quote|
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Distracted the gang in "Where Walks Aphrodite" to get tools he needed to find {{spoiler|a treasure buried underneath Crystal Cove}}.
* [[Compelling Voice]]: Possibly to the point of [[Reality Warper]]. How else would Officer Johnson's hand and taser become "mysteriously" duct-taped together... ''without anybody else noticing?!''
* [[Complete Monster]]: Reveals himself as such in season 2.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Scooby Doo...
** Also to Velma. He was his team's [[The Smart Guy|Smart Guy]], he has a bloated opinion of his own intelligence, {{spoiler|and he partially engineered the breakup of his group, albeit on purpose while Velma did it on accident.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: Betrayed his gang for the treasure and made a deal with Mayor Jones.}}
* [[Feathered Fiend]]: Type D. Remember the cute little parrot in the picture? Yeah, he's about tripled in size over the years.
Line 282 ⟶ 300:
* {{spoiler|[[Funny Animal]]: In the reality in which the Evil Entity never existed, he's both this and a company mascot.}}
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: The gang gets one from him in "Howl of the Fright Hound".
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Command
* [[Intellectual Animal]]: The most intellectual.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: He is a dog kicking ''machine''. Might as well be literal in Scooby's case!
Line 298 ⟶ 316:
=== Alice May ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back]]: Came back in episode 25 as part of Mr. E's plan to get Pericles out into the open.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dark Action Girl]]: In episode 25}}
Line 309 ⟶ 329:
=== Various Monsters ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Covered in Slime]]: The Slime Mutant. The radioactivity of said slime borders on [[I Love Nuclear Power]].
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: A few of them. The Phantom of Episode 7, for example, decides to skip the [[Scooby-Dooby Doors]] chase and instead sets fire to the trailer Scooby and Shaggy are in.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Many are guilty of this, particularly the villain from episode 10.
{{quote|
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Char Gar Gothacon
* [[Evil Plan]]: And some of the most ridiculous, [[Gambit Roulette|overly complicated]] ones you've ever heard at that. It's lampshaded of course.
{{quote|
Shaggy: "........Dude. Seriously?" }}
** Or the one that says that suing would take too long and then proceeds to list off a plan that rivals Freddy's traps in complexity.
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: the Man-Crab
* [[Hammerspace]]: Obliteratrix. This was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded by Shaggy]].
{{quote|
* [[Haunted Technology]]: the Ghost Rig, as in tractor-trailer
* [[Killer Robot]]: the Frighthound, an [[Evil Twin]] of Scooby-Doo!
Line 326 ⟶ 348:
* [[Magic Music]]: Que Horrifico uses a pan-flute to "spookify" children, turning them into goblin-like creatures.
* [[Monster of the Week]]
* [[Mysterious Mercenary Pursuer]]: Obliteratrix.
* [[Our Gnomes Are Weirder]]: The Scary Gnome
* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]: We got two here. We got your scary merfolk in the Fish Freaks. We get totally blue skin mermaid with blue-purple hair and white eyes in Amy the Siren.
Line 341 ⟶ 363:
=== Angel Dynamite{{spoiler|/Cassidy Williams}} ===
▲[[File:256px-Angel_dynamite_4444.png|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: {{spoiler|Her original name is somewhat cool.}}
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
Line 364 ⟶ 388:
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: {{spoiler|She looked like a typical nerd as Cassidy Williams, but now...}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]:}} {{spoiler|She is working with Mister E, but claims to side with the current Mystery Inc so she can keep tabs on them.}}
* [[Took a Level
* [[Was It All a Lie?]]: {{spoiler|Fred basicaly states this to Angel when she comes clean in episode 25.}}
=== Sheriff Bronson Stone ===
▲[[File:char_16466_6957.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adult Child]]: He sleeps in a ''car-shaped bed'' for crying out loud!
* [[Bad Cop, Incompetent Cop]]:
** At least he ''arrests'' the culprits when they're caught by the Scooby Gang... even when he shouldn't.
{{quote|
* [[Break the Cutie]]: You gotta feel sorry for him when Mayor Jones fired him in Episode 24. {{spoiler|And then in Episode 26, Sheriff loses what is possibly his ''only'' friend when he finds out that the Mayor had kidnapped a baby from his parents ''and'' also being the Freak of Crystal Cove, even shedding a tear at the implications this would cause.}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Whenever the gang solves a mystery, it tends to negatively affect him in some form or another.
Line 399 ⟶ 425:
=== Mr. E{{spoiler|/Ricky Owens}} ===
▲[[File:Mr__E_6963.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: We don't know enough about his motivations to really determine whether he's an actual villain or not. His total unconcern for the gang's safety (see [[Omniscient Morality License]] bellow for an example) suggests he's a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V]] [[Anti-Hero]] ''at best'', though for all we know he could be something [[Manipulative Bastard|much worse]]. ▼
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
▲* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: We don't know enough about his motivations to really determine whether he's an actual villain or not.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: The {{spoiler|Alice May}} mystery was staged by Mr. E so that the gang {{spoiler|would discover the yearbook with the picture of the original Mystery Inc.}} and start looking into the real mystery under Crystal Cove.
** {{spoiler|Mr. E does it again in Episode 25 -- in order to bait Prof. Pericles, he hires Alice May again to mess with the gang}}.
* [[Big Bad]]: In the first half of Season 2, he's in a [[Big Bad Ensemble]] with Professor Pericles. But Pericles is clearly calling the shots, and that only becomes clearer in the second half.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Half the time Mr. E contacts the kids, it's not to advance his own agenda but to grant them a clue from "on high". Although, considering we know next to nothing ''about'' him, it may all be part of an [[Arc Welding|even bigger plan.]]
** Though with [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you realize that if the gang didn't survive/solve the little mysteries, then they wouldn't unravel the big one about {{spoiler|Fred Jones Sr being the Freak and taking Fred from Brad and Judy, and Pericles and the disc, and, well, everything!}} If he hadn't helped, they wouldn't have done what he wanted later.
** Of course, why he would want all that out in the open is still up in the air...
* [[Evil Plan]]: Not sure what it is exactly but its driving the [[Myth Arc]].
* [[Fat Bastard]]
* [[Figure It Out Yourself]]: At one point, Shaggy just asks Mr. E if he could give them a straight answer instead of a weird riddle.
{{quote|
* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: He seems to believe this, considering that he {{spoiler|nearly kills the gang with Alice May in order to lure out Professor Pericles}}.
* [[Punny Name]] / [[Meaningful Name]]: {{spoiler|Well, his pseudonym is this, not his real name.}}
Line 426 ⟶ 454:
=== Ed Machine ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: He's the head of Destroido, which is among other things guilty of using landfill waste as an ingredient for snack products.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Mr. E.
Line 433 ⟶ 464:
=== Skipper Shellton ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Name's the Same]]/[[One Steve Limit]]: Exaggertedly averted; he and his five siblings are ''all'' Skipper Shellton.
=== Vincent Van Ghoul ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: When he debuted in 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, he was a powerful sorcerer. Here, he's a famous horror movie actor who's been having trouble finding good roles.
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: In his movies, he's brave. But when Nightfright arrives in real life; he's not. But he managed to demonstrate how amazing his acting skills really are by goading Nightfright into Fred's trap by being COMPLETELY nonchalant about the monster's constant attempts at scaring him...until he drops the act and reveals how freaked out he was.
* [[Expy]]/ShoutOut: To Peter Vincent from the original ''[[Fright Night]]''...it's even there in the name of the "ghost" he fights, Nightfright!
* [[Genre Savvy]]: He's been in so many monster/horror movies that he knows what happens in situations involving the bad guy and the hero.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: He's a good cook, a nice [[Actor Allusion]] to [[Vincent Price]], said to have been an excellent chef in [[Real Life]]. (Whether [[Maurice LaMarche]] can cook, on the other hand, is undetermined as of this writing).
Line 450 ⟶ 485:
=== H.P. Hatecraft ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Teacher]]: {{spoiler|In episode 25, he stood up to Obliteratrix/Alice May. Sure he got his butt handed to him, but he's pretty much better than most adults in the series.}}
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: Returned in episode 25 to help the kids figure out the writings on the Planespheric Map.
Line 460 ⟶ 498:
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Tried this on Obliteratrix, {{spoiler|but it fails. At least that's better than what most adults do in the show.}}
