New video next week. The real mystery is when the illusion of me having a weekly schedule will come to an end.

I can't get over the fact that this show is so dark yet has a character named hotdog water

The show that gave Fred a distinctive personality.

Velma: "How long have you been standing there?" Fred: "Don't try that, You know the concept of time confuses me"

Fred doesn’t always reciprocate Daphnes feelings because he doesn’t understand social clues, he doesn’t understand them because he’s on the spectrum, it’s been confirmed by the creators

I’ll never forget when hotdog water was murdered by Robot Nazis

“You know the concept of time confuses me.” Fred is all of us in quarantine.

Mystery Incorporated made me feel like I was watching the Scooby-Doo movies like Zombie Island and I loved it cause thats how I always felt Scooby-Doo should have been. It was dark, the dangers were real, they actually got hurt, people actually died, there was depth to side characters and main cast, villains were still true to the formula and some went above and beyond. It became my favorite series incarnation of the group and I really wanted more

12:14 I honestly loved that detail with Shaggy's hair in season 2. With how it gradually grew back over the course of the second season instead of just like instantly getting all his iconic hair back in just one episode with no explanation except the "It's a cartoon" excuse.

I can't wait in 7 years when gen z is old enough for nostalgia bait so Warner greenlight's the missing season 3 for mystery incorporated on Netflix for something

They legitimately kill, at minimum, four to five people in this show. It’s weirdly mature, despite still being very childish.

"I have feelings world! For traps and Daphne!" Is the best line in the show. change my mind.

i absolutely love that this show implies that both twin peaks _and_ the cthulhu mythos are canon in the scooby-doo universe, it’s so weird, 10/10

"Scooby Doo, get your ass over here!" Ahh, those timeless words that bring back so many memories

My therapist: Buzz cut shaggy can't hurt you Buzz cut shaggy:

I personally love Mystery Inc. In my opinion it is by far the best Scooby-Doo series. It has character development, an overarching story, and pays homage to previous Scooby-Doo series, and spoilers ahead for people who haven't watched yet. My personal theory is that everything we see in the previous Scooby-Doo series happened in Crystal Cove, but after the timeline was reset mystery inc. starts traveling solving mysteries. So in my personal theory Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. is actually a prequel to the original Scooby-Doo. Yes this theory is strange and only kinda makes sense, but I personally like to believe it

i really admired the more adult humor intermingled with the super childish humor. gives it that something-for-everyone feel. ive watched this series probably a good ten times now thats how much i love it

I’m so glad more people have been talking about Mystery Incorporated throughout recent years. I love Mystery Incorperated

I'm telling you the world is SLEEPING on mystery incorporated

Man I LOVED how dark this series got, but my sister on the other hand despises it due to how different it is from the normal cartoon. I can't wait for when they eventually make a sequel to it cause that cliffhanger ending implying a new series just cannot be ignored.

i feel like having shaggy and velma starting in a relationship before just staying friends in a non-awkward still-close kind of way would be a far better direction for them, it would help to teach kids things that romantic feelings are more complicated than "theyre either in-love or theyre not".

Can I just say, 7-8 year old me would absolutely loose my mind whenever the Mystery Incorporated intro came on, like.. *it was a genuinely good song*

Mystery incorporated was always like spectacular spiderman at least for me it was the definitive and best version of scooby doo Edit: Holy crap this got a lot of likes.

As a Scooby-Doo fan of the original, _original_ stuff, I do still miss a lot of what the show did at first, which has been lost over time. Like the eeriness and unease a lot of the first two seasons had. The subtle things. lol. However, I really admire this show for simultaneously commenting on and respecting the older parts of the franchise. I think it just goes to show how much people love Scooby-Doo, and most of the recent stuff, this show and the animated movies especially, come from a place of passion rather than just money-grabs. Though money-grabs are to be expected.

Mystery Inc will always be my favorite iteration of Scooby Doo. It was mature, witty, and really well written. It was still childish, so it felt like Scooby Doo without changing it drastically. I love it with all my heart.

I really liked part when Shaggy returned from military service, and told us about his PTSD -Like, i had to kill people, man! Like, real people! Now they are dead, man! Zoinks

“Well gang, looks like we got another mystery on our hands.” (Cuts to him being handcuffed) “bUt DaD.”

After watching Velma I believe this is a masterpiece in comparison.

For fans of Gravity Falls, this is a great show with a central plot elements, where episodes leads up to a greater and amazing climax.

Shaggy: *Aggressively hugs Velma, Velma: "Gee, where was this affection when we were dating?" Best Velma line ever😂

"I have feelings world, for TRAPS and DAPHNE!" Fred's alignment is lawful bisexual

The level of quality and story telling between this and Velma is night and day. This was infinitely better in story telling and writing, not to mention it was done years earlier.

Mystery inc was actually my jam when I was younger. The opening actually gives me chills. I remember having nightmares of that one episode where nova is in a coma, that was unnecessarily scary for 7 year old me.

This show made me a legit Scooby fan. It had everything. *MILD SPOILERS* I'll always remember this was the Scooby show that was crazy enough to gun down a teenager off-screen.

Even if it is edgy it's hands down the best portrayal of Scooby-Doo in my opinion. The characters had more depth & personality and I liked how snarky Velma was.

I was really into History Channel as a child and it was essential in understanding and picking up the plot in Mystery Incorporated because the main arch could be something ripped straight from an ancient aliens episode

One of my personal favorite aspects of this show was the idea of an old mystery incorporated. It's a concept I wouldn't have thought of and the two groups being pitted against each other, the old becoming the antagonists was such an awesome story which added more unique characters to the Scooby-doo story than there had previously ever been.

This incarnation of Fred was the best, because he was into traps.

Velma's dynamic reads very differently now that I know she was intended to be a closeted lesbian. She pretty much forces the relationship, pressures him to do traditional boyfriend/girlfriend stuff, and finds so many nitpicks with him, you kind of wonder if she's even attracted to him. Plus, there's also the joke about how she is more disappointed that the mermaid she befriended was married than the fact that she was a fake.

Even as an adult, I really enjoyed Mystery Incorporated. It was really well done, and I liked that they kept many of the OG villins as cannon.

Mystery Incorporated is the perfect show to watch when you’re starting to grow up, meaning that you can understand serious topics and shows with interesting lore start being more attractive. It’s around the appropriate age for watching Lupin III.

"Dont try that, you know the concept of time confuses me" Fred's humor literally killed me the whole show " ask me what I'm thinking about now, nothing! My mind is a complete void"

I remember visiting my sibling's apartment and their roommate was watching the first episode of Mystery Inc, and you know a show is gonna be good when one of the last jokes of the episode was "You've already got a steady job as a teacher, why rob a bank? ...Oh, right."

the contrast between light and dark in mystery inc is so amazing it is so complex and dark for a kids show

When a Scooby-Doo show can: Make fun of scrappy doo Give Fred a deeper personality than traps Make the best side character in Scooby-Doo history( sheriff bronson stone) Make a miatory deeper than 1 episode Have some of the funniest one liners And out of context clips ever Tackle characters dying in a way that feels impactful Explain the lore and follow it while not being afraid to venture out on new ideas Have monsters that actually gave me nightmares And can make me invest in the characters deeper than ever It’s gotta be good!

Mystery incorporated is the best example of “sometime edge can be a good thing” as I can’t remember a time in my adult life I’ve found scooby doo to be so compelling to watch

I remember watching Mystery Incorporated as a young kid and seeing the pan flute episode and it HORRIFIED me. Like I mean to tears horrified.

if only we known what was coming with Velma.

How to make Scooby Doo more edgy Step 1: literal Nazis Step 2: actual guns Step 3: give the literal Nazis actual guns Step 4: have the cartoon characters from your childhood defeat the literal Nazis with actual guns and kill Satan Step 5: profit Result: one of the best Scooby Doo s ever

See, this is why I like Nick's channel. Instead of adding to the pile of "Scoob is garbage and here's why" videos, he talks about the excellent Mystery Incorporated which found a way to make Scooby Doo feel pretty fresh again without completely changing everything about it. I much prefer channels that focus on praising enjoyable tv shows and movies rather than channels that constantly tell us that *insert poorly received tv show/movie here* was indeed bad. Analytics suggest that I'm in the minority, unfortunately. Great video, Nick!

The rage I felt when I realised that that cut season 3 for be cool scooby doo makes me want to pull every hair on my body out

I remember mystery incorporated, it was underrated. It’s so different with actual lore and an overarching story. It’s brilliant for how off the rails everyone was willing to go, and it worked. Easily my favorite version of Scooby-Doo. The characters aren’t one note and all have arcs of their own, making their interactions amazing. It doesn’t rely on throwbacks and tropes, but when they put it in there, it’s charming. The designs are amazing.

I'm so glad other people are realizing how great this show is. It's so underrated. Non-fans of Scooby Doo could like it. It's so well written, has great characters, compelling mysteries, funny, a new modern edge, darker themes, SO many twists, and a crazy ending! When I was 10 I couldn't stop watching it. Hell, even now I would watch it again!

How Mystery Incorporated (almost) made Scooby Doo edgy Me: They straight up killed a character that was a close friend to the gang by gunning her down

“Out of context” WE HAVE A MISSLE?! Nope, that’s just American. Nothing out of context here.

Certainly better than current dumpster fire that is Velma

The best part about this show was the world building of crystal cove and the side characters and villains that would re appear in later episodes. Angel dynamite was probably the best side character imo

This and "What's new Scooby doo?" are the ones I grew up with, so they do have the nostalgia factor. I like that mystery incorporated is one long over-arching story, it's interesting.

Fred saying “Your dead inside, Your dead inside“ is something I never thought could happen

Just rewatched it. The first 3/4 of the show is pretty well done. I wish they would have wrapped up all the character arcs better, and I wish it would have been a better villain that would have been a human pulling strings behind the scenes.

and then velma appeared making this look god like

*"This entire mission is going to get us all killed!* *"And I couldn't be more happy about it!"* ~ Mr. E, my favorite character

This show was the stuff back then. It's in my opinion the best scooby doo show and it was edgy in compassion to what we have now. It was just overall a solid show and it still holds up.

I love the small details in the show. The Vincent Van Ghoul episode, as a Scooby Doo fan and a Vincent Price fan is particularly a treat. Seeing Dr. Phobos (a homage to Dr. Phibes) is just such a delight. Heck, I'd love that design for a new Dr. Phibes movie.

i grew up watching reruns of 'Scooby-Doo Wear are You!' and have see most subsequent reincarnations of the franchise. 'Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated' is the best incarnation ever before or since The OG show. it feel like a show that took all the best parts of all the best versions and even bits of the best movies and mixed it all into one show. i kinda feel like the end of mystery incorporated could be interpreted as a sorta loos prequal for 'Scooby-Doo Wear are You!' by answering the question of "Why" the gang is traveling around the world, and "How" as in How the hell a bunch of teens can afford to spent the equivalent of years traveling around the world and brining their Van along for the ride.

> 0:21 Sees the Omnitrix in a video > Enjoyment fulfilled

This show did a Blue Falcon and Dynomutt crossover better in 22 minutes than Scoob did in an hour and 34 minutes.

i wanna give props to velma for 1 thing: making scooby doo relevant again. never have i thought id enjoy scooby doo this much until i learned that mystery incoperated had an overaching story, i HAVE to binge it now lol

I remember being bored one day and opening Netflix, finding Mystery Incorporated and then binging it for like a week straight. Such a great show. That parrot guy is still etched in my head

*Scooby: Shaggy, are you cheating on me?!* Um...progressive?

I see Be Cool as an unofficial sequel to Mystery Inc, because at the end of Mystery Inc, they get an invite to a university across the country (assuming) and the professor there said there would be a lot of mysteries to solve along the way. Well, Be Cool main plot is that they are traveling across the country solving mysteries during their last summer break. Kinda easy to connect the two together.

15:00 The Dandy Highwayman is the definition of immaculate rizz

this has always been my favorite cartoon series. like, ever. I watched it as a kid, and I've watched it fully through about 12 times. you could say it's been my longest hyperfixation. the music has always stuck with me. the cow bees episode gave me nightmares as a kid and was memorable as hell to me. the hex girls were my first ever same gender cartoon crush (around the same time as Jesse from pokemon). the overall plot was so cool. all the side characters were so funny and memorable too. I'm so glad people are talking about it more. it deserves all the attention.

Unpopular opinion (or maybe not,I'm not sure how people feel about the series): mystery incorporated is the best incarnation (I love the others,but this one is the best in my opinion)

One of my personal favorite things in this show is it's humor! All the things that happen in the show (i.e. Fred somehow having learned to fly a plane, or Shaggy saying he's been stuck with mannequins for a month) are never really questioned, and everyone just accepts that these things are happening. This "random humor" works really well with the show considering the actual basic plot of "bad guy of the week" is already pretty weird to think about happening in real life, so adding crazy scenarios doesn't feel out of place, it just adds to the story. I actually laughed out loud at some of the jokes made in the show, especially since most of them were making fun of stereotypes of people, without being overtly rude, because the stereotypes were all extremes (the evil corporation that constantly killed the environment, the communist group of college students who were constantly looking for something to fight for without reason, etc). For me, this humor really made the show so much more entertaining than other Scooby-Doo shows. There are just so many great things about this show I love it so much!

The show gave it a linear storyline, called back to past characters such as the hex girls, and actually managed to install a bit of fear

Rest in peace, Derrick J Wyatt. What a fucking king of design.

i didnt know i needed shaggy saying "scooby doo get your ass over here"

I think that mystery incorporated is the best scooby doo cartoon ever

So glad I grew up with Mystery Incorporated!

"That was the best death scene since Endgame!" *What on Earth are they pulling and why haven't I already seen it?!*

This is the thing that disappointed me in the series, the fact that saved all the actual supernatural events till the second season. Would've loved to see lighter elements of supernatural activity as the series went on to keep it more consistent. Also while I loved the monster of the week formula in first season I didn't feel like it was meshed in well in the second. As Mr E used that formula to test them in the first season he was already established by the second so it just made that formula have no purpose

I really dug this show. It gave a plot and lore to Scooby Doo, and I was loving it around age 8

This was my favorite Scooby doo incarnation because it was darker and had amazing new supporting characters, and it didn’t follow the old formula some times and would focus on the end of the world which was to me the best part of the show A 10/10 series This show makes Velma look like it was written and directed by a 4 year old

I think one important thing it here with the edgy was that it was fun edgy. It took it self serious and at the same time not serious. It was blend that can be hard to do great.

GAME BOY ADVANCE SECRET CODE!

I think out of all the tv interactions, this one is the most darkest and complex of them all and that’s the reason why I love it . It didn’t play down to its audience and wasn’t afraid to be risky with its storyline. Like they literally killed a whole bunch of ppl off to prove that this isn’t your typical cookie cutter Scooby rendition.

This shows art style so much. I grew up on this

When shaggy said "Scooby doo get your ass over here!" i felt that

Me and my son just finished this series recently and we loved every second m d of it. It was cooky and corny at times but it constantly evolved the characters grew along with the story and it was legit fun slowly unmasking the mystery of the cursed treasure aling with the gang. Plus I loved the sneaked in adult humor

Just came by to reflect on better days..... Remember when people acuse this show of not being accurate to the original series?....... Pepperidge Farms remembers

Honestly this is Modern Scooby Doo, not this Velma knockoff

Can we talk about how Mystery Incorporated gave us the best song ever made? “Yer Dead Right Mate” by Rude Boy and the Ska Tastics!

i'm pretty young, born in the early 2000's, and this is mostly the version of scooby-doo i grew up with (aside from the weird, overly sexual live-action ones). I never had enough heart as a kid to watch it, so i just re-watched the first few seasons a few times, because i really did like the story and the animation and the characters and all. Re-watching and finishing Mystery INC. in my teenage years has and always will send chills down my spine. I still love the art style, even after years of advancements in both 2D and 3D animation. It's one of if not my favorite art style any show i've ever seen has. as a lover of gravity falls as well, it really appeals to that side of me that loves deep lore and mystery, as well as simple but at the same time stunning animation and lighting. i've always found 2D more compelling than 3D. no matter how much it advances and has advanced, it seems like i always come crawling back to this show to describe my favorite style and era of animation. i'll stop sharing my thoughts now, as my dyslexia is really making my pinky hurt from hitting the backspace so much. thank you for this video. now i know more reasons why i loved and still love Mystery INC. so much haha.

Anyone here after Velma? Makes Scoob look like the best piece of media ever crafted

When you can remember the side characters and enjoy them just at much as the main ones even after years of not watching the show just shows how good this was. Both this and ben 10 omniverse was amazing and I am so glad I was at just the right age to enjoy both

Also I’m a tank nerd, and the tank Scooby-Doo drove was an almost perfect rendition of a M60A3TTS, which is a tank at about 10,000 made, still in US national guard and marines as well as reserve units. It’s one of my favorite tanks ever made, so it’s neat too see. Although the hatch design was off, I can over look that.

My mom’s favorite character in the show is the sheriff.

i fucking love this show

I’ve watched this show since I was 4 and it still holds up as a legendary show
