When you can tell which objects in an animated film or video game are supposed to be picked up or manipulated by a character because they "pop out" from the rest of the scene. The effect is achieved by: (a.) making the stand-out object brighter,
(b.) making it a different shade of color than similar surrounding objects, or (c.) in the case of video games, making the object shiny or pulsing with light (intentional scooby doo effect).
The original effect was an unintended side-effect of cel animation. Animators would use the same slides over and over for static backgrounds and place the animation slides over them (e.g. the same picture of a room will be used for several hundred frames because the room never moves, but the characters have to be redrawn each frame with new slides).
The inconsistency of color and brightness between the new painted slides and the original background slide causes the animated object to stand out from the background. The Scooby Doo cartoon was a particularly noteworthy example of this effect in practice.
(playing a video game) "There's some major scooby doo effect on that door. I'm pretty sure you can open it."

When someone cums into a blender, then mixes in chocolate syrup and their personal toenail clippings, then feeds it to the person they are keeping captive in their basement.

A movie law that if any character wears a mask or hides a part of his or her body or identity, they must unmasked. Originally derived from the cartoon series "Scooby Doo"
"Dude, 'V for Vendetta' sucked."
"Well it was frusterating that they didn't follow the scooby doo law."

A lame, cheap trick usually used on cartoons that originated on the show Scooby-Doo. It's where the main characters are being chased my something, usually only one but sometimes more. The characters are seen running back and forth through three sets of doors/doorway-like-things, three on the left and three on the right. Done in silence except for special effects.
It's so annoying when that every time there's a chasing scene in a cartoon, they pull out the scooby-doo run.

The method for determining the identity of a target based on a process of elimination. The term is often applied for humorous effect meant to indicate that a solution can easily be found by simply eliminating the obvious non-solutions.
The concept is based on the animated TV show "Scooby Doo" in which teenage investigators solve mysteries. The typical episode format includes someone dressed as a monster terrorizing people. The "meddling kids" proceed to determine the identity of the person behind the mask, providing an opportunity for the audience to guess who it is as well.
As an over-simplification, you know the person behind the mask simply because heβs the only person in the episode who isnβt Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, or Scooby (the primary characters).
Brilliant, you just reinvented the Scooby Doo Algorithm to choose what to eat for breakfast. . . It's not that hard since you only have one box of cereal, half a pizza, and ten cases of beer in the house.
