It was the late 60s, of course they were just a bunch of hippie drifters.

Emitting dimensions are swallowing you
Daphne was a neurotic trustfunder who couldn't make real friends, her hangers-on (led by Fred, a stone-cold sociopath) gaslit her with "we're solving mysteries" as a way to keep her away from her family and mooch eternally no questions asked.

They didn't deal drugs, they just transported them around the country and used the mystery solving as a cover for how they were getting money.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.
They were trafficking shitloads of drugs under the floorboard in the back of the van.

The canon is that they only actually solved one mystery and every episode is a different timeline. "Mystery Machine" was the name of the band they were going to form before whatever event that lead to the mystery solving occurred.

Didn't know what "Hex Girls" were, and here we are again, at the base camp of yet another a baffling mountain of porn.

They crashed the van while high and they're all in comas having shared hallucinations.

Scooby-Doo is my favorite TV show of all time. It's funny how the idea of all the monsters actually being petty criminals was because the network wanted a scary show for kids that ran in primetime but knew if the show was actually scary kids would get nightmares and parents would complain, so it was decided that at the end you'd find out it wasn't a monster, but just another crook. Totally unintentionally they created one of the best teachers of critical thinking on TV. Scooby-Doo killed god for me.

Also the Mystery Incorporated series is loving excellent.

They're trapped in a hell where they perpetually have to solve "mysteries" that are suspiciously the same exact thing over and over. They aren't necessarily dead but they certainly must have some sort of penance to pay through trial by endurance because I can't find any other justification for how insanely repetitive that terrible show was.

I'm betting they killed someone or maybe their methods of gathering information was more amateurish and led to physical trauma inflicted upon a suspect, like torture for example.

Fred might be boring, but I'm sure he's an attentive lover who cares about his partner. While Shaggy would finish quickly and roll over snoring to sleep.

the cops hooked them up with free weed from the evidence room in exchange for the gang solving mysteries they couldnt handle. but they couldnt show that on tv in that period of course so its treated eupemistcally as "scooby snacks"
