How Velma Ruined Cartoons Forever (for me)

- Has anyone heard of Velma (2023 - 2024)? It's Bad. This animated TV show, created by HBO Max, is a spin-off of the beloved Scooby-Doo cartoon series. Sadly, Velma is known as a overly raunchy, unfunny, failing satire of a cartoon, that quite frankly just isn't very good. With performances by Mindy Kaling, Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, and Gelnn Howerton, this politically driven show is obnoxiously bad.
ALSO, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED THIS SHOW EVER. I ONLY WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE SINCE IT'S JUST NO THAT INTERESTING. THE NEW SECOND SEASON COMES OUT SOON THOUGH. APRIL 25TH OR SOMETHING. MIGHT WATCH IT THEN. IDK. PROBABLY NOT.

Dive into the controversial world of "Velma," the animated TV show that reimagines the origin story of the classic Scooby-Doo character, Velma Dinkley. Voiced by Mindy Kaling, who also serves as executive producer, this series aims to offer a fresh take on the mystery genre but has struggled to resonate with audiences, earning its reputation for its divisive humor and drastic departure from the beloved original series. Fans of adult animated shows like "Rick and Morty" or "BoJack Horseman" might find "Velma" an interesting watch, although it's generally viewed unfavorably by critics and longtime Scooby-Doo fans. Join us as we explore what sets "Velma" apart, for better or worse, in this unique addition to animated adult storytelling. 🕵️♀️👓 #velma #cartoon #videoessay

Do you think Velma was the worst cartoon of 2023?
I know its been said a million times, but I had to watch this for myself to see if its really is THAT bad...
Follow me on Twitter to stay updated on everything I do: twitter.com/Darzii_
Yes. Yes it was. Its such garbage.
^ True
It's not a competition, unfortunately. This is the Megamind Rules of 2023.
You know when a show sucks so much, it feels like a parody of itself. That pretty much sums up the recent worst rated animated shows. They're not actual shows, they're awful parodies of one. Every woke and predictable garbage, cliche and stereotype came true and then some.
yep
Velma has all the bad stereotypes of adult cartoons dialled to infinity. Unlikeable characters, too much swearing to the point of irritation, bad animation and character designs, plots that go nowhere, gratuitous violence for the sake of gratuitous violence, inappropriate nudity and feeling like it was made by immature secondary school pupils who don't know how people behave in real life.
The only difference is that Velma is dogsh*t with 0 fans while all the other ones have loyal fanbases...
Okay, well maybe not ALL of them, but the big names, at least.
@@Attmay People say everybody because it's easier than saying the exact number of people. Yes, there's gonna be someone out there who likes Velma. Good on them, glad they like it, but when above 80% percent dislike it, people will usually resort to everybody because it's easier to say than getting the exact number.
The animation and designs aren't bad, but I agree with everything else
@@davibarrosdub3645 I've seen shows from the 80s look better than this.
Honestly I kind of agree, the animation and art are one of the better things about the series (plus I haven’t seen the rest of the series, and honestly I don’t want to, so I can’t give my own thoughts on everything else).
Shaggy's real name is Norville Rogers, his friends always call him Shaggy. That's why everyone knows him that way. Shaggy is a nickname.
I never knew this haha
@@TheRealDarzii I didn't either. We both learned something.
@@TheRealDarziiHe was rarely called by his real name. Mostly his relatives called him by his real name.
yeah but wasn't he called shaggy because of his shaggy hair? whys a black guy with like dreads called "shaggy"
@@evenhartwick4422 He is called Shaggy because of his shaggy hair. But of course they changed everything here and left only the names and the clothes. And in this series they use his real name. Norville Rogers. Nickname Shaggy.
For Norville, that's Shaggy's real name. I remember in one of the Scooby Doo movies he said that his name is Norville but everyone calls him Shaggy
As for the show itself. Scooby Doo is obviously a beloved franchise and has been for a very long time. Why they decided to make something like *this* is beyond me.
Oh really? That explains a lot then
doesn't explain why Shaggy is black, I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE IM RACIST BUT IT'S JUST NOT.... SHAGGY.@TheRealDarzii
@@TackSmackIsDenied I know right they love to use "diversity" as a shield for bad animation/characters and when you talk about how it sucks they pull the race card, like make your own character and leave what we know and love alone it's not hard to use the same world or settings just don't have them be related unless you can do it right or for some joke/bit like none of this is even similar or relates to the show it wants to "copy"
@@TackSmackIsDeniedblack washing is something I’ve noticed in shows or movies that are garenteed to be bad. Im 99 percent sure they just made shaggy black and Velma Indian so if anyone hated on it they can say “they just hate this show because it has blacks and Indians in it”
I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again if your gonna make a show that takes place in the same universe as the source material and you’re gonna change the characters body’s, skin color and personality’s why not just make them entirely new characters? Why does this have to be the scooby gang and not some other group of mystery solvers that just so happen to be in the scooby doo universe?
Same here. I saw the special CN Those Meddling Kids, Scooby Doo special which explains the characters. Shaggy's full real name is Norville Buzz Roger, and he also has the biggest belt bucket collection in the world.
It’s not even the Velma we grew up with. It’s just Mindy Kayling in a cheap Velma costume living out her high school fantasies because she was the unlikable weird kid
Bro she still is- and now she thinks she's angelina jolie or something. Her ego came outta NOWHERE.
worst of all, Mindy never even watched or cared about scooby doo. not a single JINKIES! in 2 seasons. this is not velma at all. this is an annoying voice by Mindy pretending that she can do comedy. what a joke.
@@BobRooney290 No, jokes are funny. She’s just sad and pathetic
@@BobRooney290oh no jinkies is in the show so are skunks and jeepers, they’re just drugs, they sell drugs called those things because comedic throw back and “changing things up”
"It would be a fun time to see Velma's first episode in fu-"
Famous last words, press F to pay respects
I will never mentally recover from this
@@TheRealDarziiTherapy may help
@@thediam0nddrag0n78Not even the world’s greatest therapist could make him mentally recover from Velma
@@helloeveryone0 you know what, fair point. Maybe we should just remove that part of the brain
"The opening is not that bad..." This is where I'll remind you that those bodies you were blurring out because they were naked, were 15-year-old naked bodies. So there's that.
Your review on Velma is like 1000x funnier than the show itself, so props to you!
That’s why Darzii Season 2 is also coming soon
@@TheRealDarziiI need Darzii season 2
its a bad show, but you never explained how this single-handedly "Ruined Cartoons Forever"
Yeah, it's pretty damn annoying when these kinds of youtubers use over dramatic, clickbaity titles in their videos.
It’s click bait
i think it explained it really well, it's existence.
@@KaimationOffical you're glazing. hop off.
@@Springerzzz bruh im not being serious obv he clickbaited us all into thinking he was gonna explain it but he just made a summary and that's not what we wanted. We wanted to know why it ruined cartoons forever and now we will never know why.
If I was tasked with writing a new Scooby Doo show with complete creative freedom I would have the show focus on Fred. Strange events happen and he basically tries to start his own ghost hunting business. Shaggy is the only one who agrees with him because Shaggy snuck into the school after hours to eat all the Chicken nuggets and Pizza and saw something weird. Velma tells him it’s all scientifically impossible, but she gets captured, sees something that she can’t explain and gets rescued by Fred and Shaggy. Scooby and Daphne would also be introduced and join the team later.
I would go grim dark almost like mystery incorporated style with them waking up in an asylum and some sort of apocalypse is going on with them trying to survive and find out what happened, have the first ep be a two partier where the first half is them waking up and regroup and near the end have them find a corpse or kill an actual monster, the beginning of the second half would be them thinking its a person in disguise or something and panicking trying to get help thinking this is some sort of elaborate trick as they don't know where they are and are "alone"
The two comments here are pitch perfect 💢
Why the heck didn't we get this? That would be better than this doo doo.
@@kevinskywalker5539 bth anything might be better then what we got
To be fair with the cops suspecting her being the murderer, the body was in her locker and also she just assaulted someone with a cane for no reason. Other than that the show doesn't make sense it's horrible.
Shaggy's actual name is Norville, it's been stated in other movies and shows but he's always used Shaggy as a nickname
-------------------------------
(In the Blair witch Ripoff)
V- "And that's Norville Rogers"
S- "It's Shaggy, like no one calls me Norville"
D- What's the matter... *Norville*?
The show actually gets worse, also the panic attacks scenes are the best animated parts of the show, but it’s a concept that gets abandoned, so you don’t even get those later on.
That’s hilarious considering it was the only thing I complimented the show on
@@TheRealDarzii Yep….it’s like the show is so dedicated at being a completely joyless experience, it even decides to remove the one thing that people may conceivably enjoy about it.
The reason why it got a second season simply because it’s ALREADY PLANNED. They just split the seasons. Nothing to do with viewership.
velma opening:
why movies suck
girls in shower
edgy girl that is not like others whacks people with a crowbar
someone died
at this point let's cancel Velma
That’s a loaded title. Fiona and Cake came out months after and it’s widely regarded to be one of the best adult animated series. Also the among us show is showran by Owen Dennis, the guy who showran infinity train.
To those babbling about hate watching:
Nope. Season 2 was ordered with season 1. Extremely common practice for animation.
Hate watching was never real, and just a way to silence its critics.
You got my back on this one!
because of us hate watching Velma has more seasons coming its all our fault
Literally a car crash you can’t look away from. We’re making it so much worse
Actually, I heard that they were making season 2 before season 1 released. It’s possible that HBO wanted to release season 2 just to save money. That could also be a reason as to why season 2 is barely being advertised.
Yes sir.
No it’s cuz Both seasons were greenlit at the same time
Oh my fucking god !!!! it is NOT our fault season 2 was planned before the show even aired, can people stop saying this stupid misconception already !!!!!!
9:28
fun fact: his actual name is norville rogers
Reminder that we lost Infinity Train and Close Enough but this sh*t still got to go on.
The only way the show could be worse is if they got Kimiko Glenn or Awkwafina to play Daphne
It gets worse, Asian depiction in this show is outright bad. All are depicted doing some sort of crime
At least I now have a reason to not watch this show. Thank you Warzii
Remember. Don’t hate watch this show. You’ll only give it more views.
Shaggy from the original show real name is norville rogers
It genuinely surprised me to know that Mindy Kaling post-Velma, still continues to play Val Little in Season 2 of Monsters at Work when she stopped playing Disgust in Inside Out 2. After everybody got angry at Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling for ruining Scooby-Doo, I just naturally assumed that Mindy Kaling was either done playing nice characters or not welcome to act anywhere else, especially not for kid-friendly programming where everybody would hate her for trashing Scooby-Doo. April 23, 2024, 4:30am
They call him Norville (his actual name) cause he's not Shaggy anymore (hair wise).
It's disturbing how often he uses his nickname on official documents.
I honestly thought his real name was Shaggy
@@TheRealDarzii no it's been norville since either the original where are you or A pup named Scooby Doo. Also the creators never intended him to be a stoner.
Yeah better written show would have had the opening scene be a cold open with Easter eggs for future episodes.
Like Roaches having sex could be an indicator that there 2 disgusting people in a sexual relationship.
Glad I'm hype for the Knuckles spin off series
It’s coming out the day after so hopefully it will get peoples attention in a way that they’ll just forget about Velma season two
The thing that's most sus... Any other show would have been cancelled. Especially with the numbers this garbage produced.
Velma belongs in textbooks as a grand example of what NOT to do in a cartoon
True!!
Imagine the among us TV show will be like what happened to cyberpunk after edgerunners
Velma didn't "Ruin Cartoons Forever", there are so many cartoons that are still amazing to this day and are way better than this garbage excuse for a show.
Na I’m intrigued by the among us show
I’ll definitely give it a shot
They took too long as Among Us already peaked 3-4 whole years ago
9:30 "Norville" is actually Shaggy's real name in the original Scooby-Doo. "Shaggy" was always his nickname.
Supposably it's produced by Disney. Which should explain a lot. But I can't explain Disney. Disney is totally just it's on form at Bazaar right now
Sir, I regret to inform you that you may be getting your information from The Onion.
If Velma was a psycho murderer & she misled the rest of the gang so innocent people were framed for her crimes? Then you might have a premise, but this?
Just watch Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated if you want an edgy Scooby doo show.
"I thought they were older, for some reason" Yes, the shower scene would probably make you want to do that.
0:32 The Among us show can go in different ways, it has potential to be a good show
I love Scooby Doo so I hate the Velma show really really alot
Velma ran so that other animation opportunities could walk away.
It isn't even 2 seasons, it one cut in half so they could rip off their own artists
The among Us TV show does have some things going for it. It's being helmed by the creator of Infinity Train and that was a damned good cartoon. And it has a very impressive cast.
Again I ask why
Failma
15:04 Be glad... Somehow it gets worse... like every episode it gets worse...
Shaggy's real name is Norvell
If it was so great, then where are all the feminists and LGBT people it was tailored for?
Don't ya just hate that great cartoons got to die and terrible cartoons like THIS got to keep going?
HBO Max was stupid enough to not only green light this turd to begin with, and to give it a second season to top it all off
Well we are going to have Velma season 2
Just dont see it . Dont watch the series , becasue they migth issue a third and fourth seasson.
What's next ? the worst Knockoff Cartoons movie
I always wanted there to be an adult version of Scooby-Doo. And there's nothing wrong with doing something different. But it still has to be done right. And from what I'm seeing...I'm just down right disappointed - because this animated spin-off series of the famous Scooby-Doo franchise...sucks completely! This is both bad writing and woke/meta to its fullest. It is full of terribles jokes, characters, and plots. And I obviously can't forget about the pointless race-swapping, or the unnecessary gay romance, or the constant attempt of dated jokes. This whole thing was like a bitter resentment to the whole fandom. The humor in the show is just hateful and insensitive, instead of funny and insightful. There is absolutely nothing to like or enjoy about this show - especially the main character (or any other character to be honest), as they are all downgraded. There is no character development or growth throughout the entire first season. And so no one learns anything, or really pays for the vile things they have done (at least when it comes to Velma). And I get that people hate watched it, but some people simply watched it because curiosity just got the better of them. And because of woke culture (which I strongly despice), if you don't like anything terrible done by a woman, it means that you're sexist and are attacking them - in short terms, agree and like everything we do, and keep your personal opinions to yourself. And while I support feminism...I despice feminist; as many of them aren't looking for equality, they just want control and to vent out their frustrations and blame men for everything (including things that they themselves are at fault for). Man or woman, everyone is going to face struggles...the life of men isn't significantly easier.
Norville (a.k.a Shaggy) is now an African American whose sole purpose is to simp over Velma, and basically be her personal tool/punching bag; Daphne is now an East Asian American who is always bitching and whining, and is basically unappreciative of everything she has; Fred is still a Caucasian male, but is so spoiled, cuddled and dimwitted, that he is absolutely helpless when it comes to even the simplest of things; and finally there's Velma, who is now a South Asian American, as well as being entitled, possessive, controlling, manipulative, narcissistic, hypocritical, judgemental, sexist, and racist. To make matters worse, all three characters practically become obsessed with winning Velma's affection and attention - but why, when there is absolutely nothing to love (let alone like) about her. And Velma having a thing for a woman, doesn't make her gay...it makes her bisexual - because she's had crushes on men before any of this mess. The adults are also no better, heck, they might actually be worse because they're the adults, and should know better - especially Fred's parents: having a father who is completely disappointed on how spoiled and helpless his own son turned out despite the fact that he is the reason for it by giving Fred all the chances money can buy and never allowing Fred to solve things on his own; and Fred's mother who also cuddled him to the point where he sees their overbearing and unhealthy relationship as normal. Velma's father is also no better, as her father cares a lot more about his career and spoiling his much younger girlfriend, than to guide or advice his own daughter. Norville's dad is a bad therapist and a beta male, who always allows others to walk all over him. And Daphne's adoptive lesbian parents are completely incompetent detectives (and it's not even funny). Velma is in no way a sympathetic character or victim...she's the real villain of the story.
It really makes you appreciate the original gang even more. They were a group of real friends from different backgrounds, and had different strengths and weaknesses that helped them out of almost any challenge they got themselves in. Fred may have been a dumb jock, but he was still creative and reliable; Daphne may have been slightly superficial, but she was still friendly and trustworthy; Velma may have been a socially awkward know-it-all, but she still helped out in anyway she could; and Shaggy and Scooby may have been complete fraidy-cats, but they were always willing to do their parts for the friends. This show really only gets points for it's animation quality. And while I do enjoy a nude scene, these girls are in high school - why not just put them in college, and make them eighteen and over? Plus, when characters are called out on their toxicity and when others finally stand up for themselves...the show ends up making them look like the bad guys for doing so. Why couldn't the show take ideas or inspirations from more dark and serious material - like the "Scream" franchise, or the "Saw" franchise, or the "Halloween" franchise, or the "Hannibal Lecter" franchise, or even "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" and "Citizen X".
Season 2? Who the hell asked for this?
Norville is apart of shaggy’s name if I recall, depending on the variation, shaggy’s family is the one who funds the Mystery Inc! Not Daphne or her family, Shaggy actually comes from riches, bc look at his uncle, very dapper and well dressed man with a monocle on and a cool mustache! 😂
Velma is one of those who uses well established IP to get attention. They don't care about Scooby Doo, all they care about is SocioPolitics. It is a shame cuz some animation is just well made. Good animation doesn't fix bad writing tho.
Can't wait to hatewatch season 2 with everyone else on the 25th!
7% is generous honestly.
DON’T WATCH THE 2ND SEASON!!!!!!!!! NOT EVEN TO HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most people have said season 2 is good.
god...why velma still exists...damn....it just sucks ...darn ....why the creator continue doing it ...
it's pretty much guilt pleasure for the masochists
Let's just say....watching that show would be when you'd want to have time travel exist so you could stop yourself from watching it.
You know the show has issues when the good ol 3am story making has better storytelling than an entire studio
I think a lot of people are just hating the show cause that’s the trend not the greatest show but it definitely no just stale toilet water
If people stop hate watching TTG and this, then they both will lose money and get canceled
Shaggy's real name is Norville but he always goes by his nickname in the other iterations. If it's not broke don't fix it, but I guess Velma didn't get the memo
Shaggy isn’t a stoner, he’s a beatnik
Velma shows dog crap
don’t know how but this so called “show” gotten so much worse, not to mention ruin a character that had the potential to come back to Scooby Doo
norville rogers is shaggy's real name
Hate watching is a general issue. Velma proved how it really works.
Take the example of other things, even toxic youtubers. Watching their works just to let a hate comment, gives them profits. Raids bump the posts - more visible. Views can open monetisation. Instead of making a hate watch, try to report the person and move on. Let yt handle it.
Most people are too stupid to not hate watch 🤷♂️
@@journey-man_official sadly that is the point and sadly many are enraged if someone makes them aware.
Sometimes, UA-cam doesn't really do anything, they kept SSSniperwolf on the platform
@@zierragacha5089 yet still, sniperwolf's controversy is something more and very complicated. She is popular and she is the golden goose for yt - people will come and go to hate watch her, which gives money
“This show tries….”
I don’t think it’s even “trying” other than trying to be unlikable.
Her mother saw a toddler walking on the freeway, drove a mile past, and then she disappeared with her snacks.
I think it got a second season was because all the hate watching that happened and in the second season (this is spoilers and idk if its true or not i haven't and won't watch Velma) is that velma gets killed by scrappy doo
To this point Darzii its just a filthathon. Everybody is trying to see who can make the absolute worst piece of shit imaginable so anyone who can top velma is practically a hero to this point. Not that topping a pile of shit is anything to write home about.
First season was more interesting, but I liked season two as well. This is Mad Magazine's take on it, satirical weirdness, and the stuff of future cult status.
Velma did indeed "ruin cartoons forever."
...If you live under a fucking rock.
The only light at the end of this long dark tunnel is that we get another season of Fred being the best character
I DID NOT expect to be blindsided by the Dead Space 3 meme in the first 20 seconds in a cartoon vid but I love it. Had to double take
vizzie pop as better writting than velma
Norville is Shaggy’s legal name
Fuck this version of Velma
To be fair they probably had to come out with a season two because they have contracts but even then this is just my guess and they shouldn’t have said yes to doing something like this in the first place…
So did Maxwell Atoms and C.H. Greenblatt.
Mthat is Shaggies real name people just call himShaggy as a nickname i believe
This is a really great video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Why do people keep watching it. Treat this heinous piece of shit like Freddy Krueger in the first Nightmare on Elm Street film, and just dont acknowledge it. Problem solved.
The show is passable; I've seen season 1 and prefer to stick with the original. The new reboot is a letdown-I get what they tried to do, but it falls flat. In my view, they should have delved into polyamory and let the mystery gang explore relationships amongst themselves.
Your editing is really good and funny. Perfect timing for every edit
Thank you!!
Why can't Mindy just make up new characters make them horrible in an awful show? Why does she have to use good characters from an awesome show and turn it to Arby's dumpster water?
_The Venture Brothers_ treated Scooby Doo with more respect and maturity than Mindy, and they based their characters off literal serial killers.
Its like watching rick and morty, if rick and morty had none of its redeeming qualities.
Dude you should not have given half a star for the panic attack thing. They nuked it later on 💀
I am so sad Dennis is in a show that got 1.6 stars, he’s clearly a 5 star man
Adult Swim already did that, guy. Robot Chicken. Nuff said!
I have seen theories that this was supposed to be something else entirely but Warner Bros. would only green light it if another pre existing IP was shoehorned in. It wouldn't surprise me if this theory is either true or false because this show is just an example of what companies do nowadays
For me I think the show would have been better as a parody of the mystery tropes rather than a social commentary with a very bad Scooby-Doo paint job. At least like that it would have been a mid story not trying to capitalize on an existing franchise.
Almost 100% serten season 2 is part of batch one of episodes they ordered and cut season 1 in half so don't have to pay more for a second season
