Brosephine WiresIn every single case, the Scooby Doo gang discover a human is behind the mystery, not ghosts or mummies or whatever. Yet they start each new case believing the villain is a supernatural being. Every time. Not once do they say โmaybe itโs an old man like last timeโ

Bertha Mason@JoParkerBear isn't that wonderful, that with no matter how many reality checks, we can still believe in ghosts & fairies & magic& some thing other-worldly.
It's the ultimate faith. It's what keeps us young.

Simon W. Gill@JoParkerBear That would start to invite questions about continuity though, and I'm not sure the writers were paid enough for that responsibility ๐
Final Round Player ๐ท๐ช๐บ๐ธ@JoParkerBear Every villain thinks they can get away with it. Despite the fact that those pesky kids stopped all the other villains before them.
@jbond the audacity of the villain ego
Adara Astin@JoParkerBear And in this, they are a symbol of the human condition.
@AdaraAstin true that
Tom Speed@JoParkerBear One of the movies has an actual creature (Scooby Doo & Zombie Island) and maybe more than one. Mixed results on the antimated movies but thatโs a good one.
eyajpng@tomspeed @JoParkerBear that one is really good and about as meta as scoob and the gang get
Straight Outta Everett@JoParkerBear it's been a long tone since I watched original Scooby-Doo but I feel like it was always Velma is the one who's sure there's got to be a logical explanation
Hipquark@JoParkerBear Wow, so the X-Files is just inverse Scooby Doo!

Shaggy: it's a c-c-c-capitalist

Sam@JoParkerBear But if they didn't think it was human, they would have started exorcisms and not investigations, no?
Joe Katz@JoParkerBear In fairness, they're usually high. They might not remember.
@JoParkerBear maybe they solve like nine supernatural cases off-screen for every episode we actually get to watch.
George W Harris@JoParkerBear You have to remember that all of them, even Velma, were always incredibly stoned.

Jack@JoParkerBear maybe they only televised the ones where it turned out to be a human! Maybe all the ones with actual ghosts/monsters etc were deemed to scary for kids and never saw the light of day and there were way more of those, hence the assumption each time!
โ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐จ๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ@JoParkerBear the real monster was capitalism the whole time.
BenBoven@JoParkerBear it was all the Scooby Doobies.
Hammancheez@JoParkerBear honestly this just proves they arenโt ageist profilers and are keeping an open mind and I think thats commendable

I've oft taken that as an indication that being continually stoned has limited their conversion of short-term memory to long-term.
That or they're just joking around and having fun (despite the shrieks and endless cardio) because they know, based on basic pattern recognition, that they're not really in any danger.

It makes you wonder what an the hell is in the Scooby Snacks and if they all eat them until they blackout.

Kevin Teljeur โ๏ธ@JoParkerBear If theyโre paid by the hour, thenโฆ Hmm, I think we should report them for professional malpractice. If your plumber behaved like this theyโd go to plumber jail
โ Fish Id Wardrobe@JoParkerBear We need a show where we see the cases inbetween, where it *was* a ghost. With buckets of blood and eviscera everywhere. Why do you think Shaggy and Scooby are so scared?
@fishidwardrobe I assumed they were hallucinating, but I like your theory.
LR@JoParkerBear eternal sunshine of the spotless syndication
Tina Stormcaller@JoParkerBear what about the 13 ghosts of scooby doo?
Simon Walters@JoParkerBear Next time please use a CW to avoid spoilers! :)
Neil Hopkins@JoParkerBear
I think that it's quite a good strategy. As with many investigations, start where you are, don't jump to conclusions, follow the trail and see where it leads you.
If you were to instantly think "maybe it's just another creepy old dude" that would shut down trains of thought and lines of enquiry!
