Mystery Inc could solve most cases in 5 minutes if they asked Velma first

This single-panel meme features the full main cast of the Scooby-Doo franchise's Mystery Inc. team (Velma, Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, Fred, Daphne) posed together in front of a dark, spooky haunted house. Text is overlaid at the top and bottom of the image, forming the joke: 'Mystery Inc. could solve most cases in 5 minutes.. if they simply asked Velma first'. The joke pokes fun at a long-running trope of the franchise, where Velma, the most intelligent member of the group, usually figures out the solution to the mystery very early on, but the rest of the gang spends additional time running from fake ghosts, investigating red herrings, and getting into hijinks before they listen to her conclusions.
