What laws were the bad guys in Scooby-doo breaking?

Villians:

  1. Attempted murder.
  2. Wearing a disguise. Yes there are laws against it.
  3. Airspace violations for flying.
  4. Smuggling.
  5. Possession of explosives.
    For the Gang:
  6. Health code violations for no pets except service animals in eating establishments.
  7. Possession of fireworks.

I skipped the already mentioned stuff.

I’m curious what ingredients go into the Scooby Snacks, myself. The boys sure do seem to get worked up over them.

23

Aren’t Scooby & Co generally invited to help solve the mystery? It could also be argued that Scooby is indeed a service animal… more than Shaggy is, at any rate. And I’m sure they have a fireworks license.

Coming into a thread for the sole purpose of expressing your contempt for the subject matter is considered threadshitting.

Don’t do it.

There are, of course, popular sentiments that Shaggy was a stoner, and that the Scooby Snacks induced drug-like euphoria. I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but a friend once told me that, in the earliest episodes, the opening credits included the group emerging from the Mystery Van amidst a cloud of smoke. And that the backstory was that they were on their way to Woodstock. Is any of that true?

26

No idea but I liked the Venture Brothers version the best, where Shaggy hearing Scooby has this whole Son of Sam vibe.

27

Hmmm…I could go for some Road Runner ankle right about now.

The better question is why doesn’t Wile E Coyote just sue ACME for crap products, I have no doubt his 270 IQ can read the directions and they still always go wrong.

28

I thought it was subtly funny that the Acme Bat-Man Suit is “guaranteed for the life of the user.”

I am quite certain he uses the products in such a way as to void the warantee.

For instance, the refrigerator, ice chipper and skis each worked perfectly well - it was the combination of the items being used in a manner the designers had not foreseen that caused the disaster.

31

add possession of marijuana to the charge sheet.

32

In the movie Looney Tunes - Back In Action, Wile E. worked for Acme. Maybe he had a clause in his contract that held Acme non-liable in the case of injury.

33

Maybe the employee discount was just that sweet!

34

If the victim was Scrappy Do, no jury would convict.

I’m not sure about the bad guys, but I’m sure Shaggy and the others are in violation of a number of drug laws.
