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.

Get the cock-a-doodle-doo mug.1. The worst insult you could say to a complete dumbass. You can say this to a faggot that doesn't understand the word, like a teacher, or if you are in an argument and you cannot think of a comeback you can just finish the bitch off with Fiddle-De-Doo.

Get the scooby doobie doo mug.Originated by penguins, the phrase "dooby dooby doo" is often used when in a conversation and awaiting a response from someone. It can also be used as a taunt when in a fight.
