Premise[]
The gang visit Velma's favorite renaissance fair, which is attacked by a jester monster.
Synopsis[]
In the episode "Renn Scare" from the animated series "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!", the Mystery Inc. gang finds themselves at Velma's favorite Renaissance fair. What starts as a fun outing quickly turns into another mystery when they discover that the fair is being terrorized by the ghost of William the Silley, an evil court jester. This spectral prankster is causing chaos and threatening to end the king's reign permanently, putting the entire fair in jeopardy. As always, the gang is drawn into the investigation, determined to uncover the truth behind this ghostly apparition and save the Renaissance fair.
The episode unfolds with the team splitting up to gather clues and interview suspects, each bringing their unique skills to the investigation. Velma, being particularly invested due to her love for the Renaissance fair, likely takes a leading role in piecing together the evidence. Fred, as usual, begins devising elaborate traps to catch the ghostly jester. Daphne's unpredictable nature and Shaggy and Scooby's appetite-driven antics provide both comic relief and unexpected breakthroughs in the case. The Renaissance fair setting offers a rich backdrop for the mystery, with jousting tournaments, period performances, and medieval-themed attractions serving as both potential clues and obstacles for the gang.
As the investigation progresses, the team faces numerous challenges and red herrings, all while trying to prevent William the Silley from carrying out his nefarious plan to end the king's reign. The climax of the episode likely involves a chase through the fair, with the ghost jester using medieval-themed tricks and traps to evade capture. Eventually, through teamwork and clever deduction, the gang manages to unmask the culprit, revealing the true identity of William the Silley. The motive behind the haunting is exposed, typically involving greed or a desire for revenge, as is common in Scooby-Doo mysteries. With the case solved, the Renaissance fair is saved, and the gang can finally enjoy the festivities they came for, with Velma particularly satisfied that her favorite event has been preserved.

Cultural references[]
- The Renaissance is a period usually considered to encompass the 15th and 16th centuries. That period may be extended to a so-called "long Renaissance" covering the 14th to the 17th centuries. Renaissance fairs typically set out to recreate medieval times, which may mean using settings anywhere from the dark ages up to the 17th century. King Avery's fair is set in 1398, which would put it early in the "long Renaissance".
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]
- The woman sitting to the right of King Avery in the first feast can also be seen sitting in two separate seats on different tables in the audience in the same scene.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- Of all of Shaggy and Scooby's elaborate misdirections, the ruse they pull on the Jester Ghost in this episode may be the most astonishing. Not only do they expertly disguise themselves and distract him from his original goal of chasing them, as usual, but they also somehow are able to get him to get on a bus, go 'home,' brush his teeth and go to bed ALL before he finally realizes he's been tricked. How did they get the bus ticket? Whose house did they send him to? How were they able to alter his perception to THAT degree, and for THAT long? Even more astonishing is the fact that this all seems to occur within a handful of minutes.
- Velma impressed King Avery by pointing out historical inaccuracies - ie. things that did not exist in 1398. Ironically something she missed was her own glasses. While eyeglasses were invented by at least the late 13th century, over the ear frames - as worn by Velma - were not invented until around 1700. Also, to be historically accurate, Velma's prescription could not involve more than magnification.
Quotes[]
Shaggy: Like, OK Scoob. Keep your eyes peeled for assassins. |
Velma: Guys. I think it's time we get out of this dungeon. (They step out of their medieval restraints, to relieved comments) |
Velma: Good thing Shaggy and Scooby keep a full medieval banquet's worth of food hidden in the Mystery Machine in case of emergencies. |
Daphne: And Velma, in honor of you and the King, we'd like to recap this mystery in a historically authentic fashion. (Turns to Scooby-Doo who starts playing) Lutist? |
