When the Big Bads are finally brought to justice, they claim that they would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those "meddling kids" (or whoever it was who foiled their plot). They may be evil, but these guys give credit where credit is due. The classic form is, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" The use of the phrase "meddling kids" is a classic Shout-Out to Scooby-Doo, especially if the Evil Plan involves a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. It's not "you meddling kids and that stupid dog"/"that dumb dog"/"your dog", although these turn up as a Shout-Out in other shows. Subtrope to Spoofy-Doo. Not to be confused with those meddling executives or the Snooping Little Kid. May not apply if The Meddling Kids Are Useless. |

Later series liked to lampoon, twist or even upend the phrase, like having the speaker thank the kids for meddling, having them mince the words around ("Hey, are you meddling... kids?") or trip up the delivery ("we would've gotten revenge on you meddling kids if not for you... er... meddling kids."), blame someone else or have it pointed out to them that they probably wouldn't have gotten away with at all, use different terminology in different situations (like children culprits calling them "meddling grown-ups" or a classmate calling them "meddling peers") and other such gags (such as "And I'll still get away with it, in spite of you meddling kids!"). | |

One of the things Hazama is known to chide Makoto over during Continuum Shift is how she "puts her nose where it doesn't belong". The big problem with this statement is that they're both NOL Intelligence officers (he's her CO, at that), meaning that he's lecturing her over doing the very thing she is being paid for. Given how little Intelligence work he does (onscreen, anyway), he's in no position to tell her what she should or shouldn't be doing, so it's safe to say that if he ever brings this up, things are going to turn violent right now. | |

Klarion (bum bum BUM!) the Witch Boy inverted this in an issue of Young Justice. "I would've got away with it if it wasn't for you meddling grown-ups." Which is even cooler if you realize the grown-ups in question were kids in grown-up bodies. | |

Dead Ringers: Spoofed when it turns out Gareth Southgate, manager of the England football team in 2021, was replaced just before the final by a previous manager who wanted to sabotage them, and is exposed by Shaggy and Scooby. He declares he would've gotten away with it "if it weren't for you meddling cartoon characters!" | |

In Stargate SG-1, Daniel says "And you would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for us meddling kids" after a bounty hunter fails to capture SG-1. That line is made even funnier when you realize that Michael Shanks ad libbed it because he hates when the characters explain to the villain what the audience already knows. | |

The Legend of Zelda: From The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Link has pretty much made a career of being this trope. Granted, destiny usually plays a hand in it, but even when it doesn't, he's still prone to meddling in whatever plan some villain is brewing up. |

Happens in an early radio episode of Our Miss Brooks, titled Student Government Day. Taking over their duly elected roles as mayor and police chief for a day, Harriet Conklin and Walter Denton raid "The Jackpot Amusement Company," a gambling ring placing crooked slot machines in the backrooms of candy stores. This is only after they're allowed out of jail by the sleazy mayor, who needs them to run the gangsters out of town after they become more trouble than the cut he's getting from them. | |

Scooby-Doo expy Clue Club. More than a few villains expressed frustration that they would have gotten away with it if not for the "nosy" kids. Possibly adding insult to injury, at least a few of them only cited "three nosy kids", utterly discounting Dotty's contributions. Possibly justified. Larry and the others insisted on leaving Dotty at home to keep her safe. Revealing to desperate, potentially dangerous men that she cracked most of the clues might have put her in danger. | |

In One Piece, the Straw Hat Pirates would often be those kids in East Blue, when the crew only consisted of teenagers who were not famous pirates yet.

In The DCU, Dick Grayson and Tim Drake investigate the sabotage of Grayson's circus. Eventually, they crack the case and catch the crooks. When one of the crooks says this quote, Grayson dismisses it saying that they were sloppy and the police would have figured it out on their own. However, since that would have created some really embarrassing press for the circus, it was better that two Robins took care of this. | |

Seen at the end of an episode of NUMB3RS in which Don, his team and his brother Charlie investigate spooky activity at a supposedly abandoned airbase. That was more of an inversion, though, as it was very ambiguous whether the person that said it was a villain at all, and he had helped them solve the case. He was also very wacky, talked in an invisible cell phone and appeared out of thin air. He also called three professors and an FBI agent meddling kids. | |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Magical Movie Night: The special "Movie Magic" is plot-wise very close to a Scooby-Doo episode. The actual line, however, isn't spoken till the next episode, "Mirror Magic", where the girls meet again with the culprit. | |

South Park : In "Child Abduction Is Not Funny": In "Weight Gain 4000", Stan and Wendy (somehow) foil Mr. Garrison (really Mr. Hat's) plan to kill Kathie Lee Gifford, to which Mr. Hat replies "Yeah, and I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids." Oddly enough, no variant of the line is used whatsoever in "Korn's Groovy Pirate Mystery", despite the entire episode being an Affectionate Parody of Scooby-Doo. |

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero is an homage to the whole concept and the trope namers (although they also have elements of The Famous Five, including being called the Blyton Summer Detective Club). The meddling kids are now in their mid twenties and return to the lakeside community where they unmasked their last monster as teenagers only to end up confronting real Lovecraftian horrors. | |

Octopath Traveler: Russell, the first boss of Cyrus's story, is caught making a verbal slip that gives away that he stole the tome The Church of the Sacred Flame: A Complete Historie. The main antagonist of Ophilia's story, Mattias, has a Villainous Breakdown when Ophilia reminds her adoptive Lianna of a time in their childhood when their (adoptive) father Josef taught them about remembering those who have died so that their legacies live on, giving Lianna the strength to stop the dark ritual she initiated in a desperate attempt to resurrect Josef. During his breakdown, Mattias shouts this at Ophilia: |

In the second episode of Gravity Falls, the Pines twins find out that a giant lake monster was actually a robot controlled by resident crazy person McGucket. The unmasking scene plays out in classic Scooby-Doo fashion, until they ask him why he did it, and he very flatly tells them it was for attention, which is no doubt the real motive of 90-100% of the villains on Scooby-Doo. | |
