Bravo Dooby-Doo is the second and last segment of the third episode of the first season of Johnny Bravo.
Summary[]
On a stormy night, Johnny Bravo's car breaks down. The Mystery Machine drives up to Johnny. After flagging the gang down, he explains that he broke down on a trip to his Aunt Jebidisa's house. Johnny finally convinces the gang to drive him there by telling them her house is haunted. All of the teens exclaim "Jinkies," which confuses Johnny. Naturally, Johnny harasses Daphne while on the way there.
Johnny and the gang get to Aunt Jebidisa's, where a threatening voice yells, "GEEEET OUUUUUT!" They all begin hunting for Johnny's Aunt, looking inside a grandfather clock, under the rug, and elsewhere. This leads Scooby and Shaggy to find the Ghostly Gardener inside a broom closet, which sends the two running and crashing into Johnny and a dreamy-eyed Velma. Johnny and Velma momentarily switch glasses, embarrassing Johnny. He sternly tells Velma to never touch his sunglasses again, but she isn't bothered by it. The entire gang and Johnny check the closest, but the Ghostly Gardener has disappeared, leaving behind a flour-covered rake. Splitting up to look for clues, Daphne goes in the basement with Velma; Fred makes a suggestive look at Daphne, who then quickly tells Velma to go with Shaggy and Scooby, while she goes off with Fred. Velma and Scooby go ahead by themselves, leaving just Johnny and Shaggy, with the latter's only interest being heading for the kitchen.
Shaggy checks out the pantry, where they again find the Ghostly Gardener, who chases them, but not before Johnny fixes his hair. What follows is a chase that includes disguises and running in and out of several doors, where they run into Scooby and Velma, and eventually Fred and Daphne. The gang continues to run, as Daphne complains about her high heels. Johnny, stuck on a chandelier, claims he'll help her out, but he just falls off, pulling down the chandelier and onto the Ghostly Gardner. After unmasking several red herrings, it is finally revealed to be Aunt Jebidisa, who attempted to scare off Johnny because he is an embarrassment to the family. As she is angered for failing to get rid of Johnny, she is also angry at the gang for foiling her plan. The gang apologetically asks if there's anything they can do to make it up to her. She requests Johnny be tied to a tree on the side of a road as an act of apology, to which they agree. Velma now sees how boorish Johnny really is. Aunt Jebidisa travels with the gang in the Mystery Machine, wanting to go someplace fun with her handsome new friend Shaggy, who gulps at the thought. Scooby quickly sticks out the back to say his catchphrase, as they drive away leaving Johnny stranded.
Suddenly after the gang left, Speed Buggy shows up offering Johnny a lift. Johnny feels more bewildered.

Trivia[]
- Scooby-Doo, voiced again by Hadley Kay, had a cameo in a later first-season episode of Johnny Bravo, "'Twas the Night".

Scooby didn't care or take notice that it was really Johnny.
- After this episode aired, Cartoon Network made various bumpers pairing Velma and Johnny.
- Johnny also appears in a bumper for Scooby-Doo, where he's revealed to be a ghost chasing the gang.
- B.J. Ward later became the official voice of Velma from 1998–2001, beginning with the first direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.
- This is the last time Casey Kasem voiced Shaggy until 2002, because of vegan Kasem having issues with Shaggy and Scooby appearing in a Burger King commercial.
- This is the first time there have been explicit romantic innuendos between Fred and Daphne.
- Speed Buggy's appearance is a reference to "The Weird Winds of Winona".
