Shaggy and Scooby keep going in, but they need to be bribed with snacks to do it. The rest of the team keep them starved so that food can be used as a motivator, and the only time we see them eating anything substantial is after a job is done.

I can't let any mention of Mysteries, Inc pass without mentioning that there was an entire episode dedicated to a cadre of ska zombies that used a ska-fueled voodoo ritual to try and make the entire town skank itself to death, and only Scooby and Shaggy were immune because they're tone deaf idiots, so they had to get the Hex Girls, a trio of rock and roll witches, to counter the ritual with a musical spell of their own, resulting in a supernatural battle of the bands where they had a giant loving DBZ beam battle over the townies. Also there's an evil Hitler bird that replaced a guy's spine with a snake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Bjl2x1ZMw John Dyne fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Mar 26, 2020 |

Note that it's not a magic ska song, it's just a ska song so catchy it is literally impossible not to skank when you hear it. The best part of Mystery Incorporated is that everything going on in the first season and a half is explicitly un-supernatural, which leads to a gradual shift from preternatural to supernatural that's handled extremely well.

Yeah they faked their deaths 30 years ago to write the perfect song, but it took longer than expected, and so when they came back no one cared about ska anymore. So Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics decided to pretend to be zombies since zombies were super popular. It was all to become the best ska artists in human history, and they would've gotten away with it if it hadn't been for the meddling coterie of rock and roll witches and their cross-dressing dog.

That sounds a lot like The English Beat. E: ha, a little Googling and it was in fact Dave Wakeling. He wrote both the songs for Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics and the Hex Girls for that episode.

Didn't that series end with the gang killing people and essentially dying before some bullshit "but there was a time loop and now none of the series ever happened" ending?

Everyone in the cast died, but none by the hands of anyone in the Scooby gang; all deaths were due to villainy. One of the deaths was indeed an implied death by machine gun, from I think Nazi robots. The ending was not a time loop, but they caused the demonic entity to never have existed, so they're the only ones to remember what happened, but everyone in the city is happy because none of them grew up with all the childhood trauma of living in a cursed town. Then Harlan Ellison (RIP) invites them to go to Miskatonic U, on the other side of the country, and it's implied this is the reason for the long road trip they always seem to be on in the original series. Edit: Sorry, I didn't realize I was in the funny panels thread. Here's some relevant content, from Scooby-Doo Team-Up #50:   For those who don't get it, it's poking light fun at the Arrow CW show, as several main villains from the first few seasons aren't really known as Green Arrow villains.
