Revision as of 08:59, 31 July 2021

Probably the most famous quote to come out of Scooby-Doo is the "Meddling Kids" line:

"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

The line came into being during the first TV series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! In the eleventh episode, A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts, Big Bob Oakley complains "Yes, I'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for these blasted kids and their dog!" In season two, the Gang were first called "Meddling" by Professor Wayne in the episode Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright. And those kids have been regularly meddling ever since!

Mayor Dudley utters the "Meddling Kids" line

The line was tinkered with in The New Scooby-Doo Movies, but it wasn't until the fourth episode of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour, Watt a Shocking Ghost, when Mayor Dudley put it all together and declared "We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"

More recent series have deliberately subverted the line - Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! almost never had the line delivered straight. In Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, the name of the guest star (and an explanation of their fame), was added to the line.

Below is a list of every moment in the Scooby-Doo franchise where the villain's plans have been foiled and they say the "Meddling Kids" line, or a variation or subversion of it.
