Hearing Shaggy desparately scream "No Scrappy, like, leave him alone!" before Scrappy throws a man into an active volcano with 0 hasitation is unironically the funniest thing
Better than Skyrim. "We need a voice for a dog who wanders around a fictional viking-esque fantasy world, possessed by a Daedric Spirit" "I GOT IT! NEW YORK TAXI CAB DRIVER!!!!"
And for whatever reason, they made Scooby-Doo act more anthropomorphic than usual after the gang left the show, but before they went back to mystery solving. Notice how Scooby stands and walks on his hind legs much more, along with a new bipedal run animation to match Scrappy-Doo's stature.
My first exposure to Scrappy was Ghoul School and the Reluctant Werewolf and he was fine in those I initially didn’t get the hate he got. It’s kind of sad for him to being so hated and basically become the face of hated characters when it wasn’t even really his fault.
@@Spuub there actually a anime character use soda instead of milk for his cereal and brooklyn nine nine joke about jake use orange soda for his cereal to. But the anime one is surreal experience that I never expected.
I think what made Scrappy a much more tolerable character later on (note this is based on my memory of stuff I havent seen in years) was he was a contributing member of the trio. He was generally more of a problem solver or at least tried to be. My experience with his earlier incarnation was this loudmouth that went on and on about how tough he or Scooby was, caused far more problems than he ever solved, and is never ever called out on it.
So from what I can tell, people don't really hate Scrappy himself, they hate what Scrappy represents: The old atmosphere and stories being replaced with 1970s-era "lolrandom" humor, and over half the cast being essentially gutted. And since this tonal shift happened almost immediately after Scrappy was introduced, he basically became the focal point of criticism. Which kinda sucks, because his character had a golden opportunity to be a breath of fresh air for the series. But instead, he ended up being the symbol of everything that was wrong with Scooby-Doo at the time. So in other words, Scrappy is the very definition of wasted potential.
If your interested, I came up with an idea for a sequel to the 2020 film, "Scoob" that focuses on Scrappy and addresses him as a character in a way that isn't needlessly cynical. Wanna hear it?
@@NegativeDumpster Okay bruh. Buckle up cause its a bit lengthy, but its just a summary of the first act, and how it comes together. TITLE: "Scrappy" STUDIO: Warner Bros. Animation DISTRIBUTOR: Warner Bros. Pictures PLOT: Its business as usual for Mystery Inc, as we see them investigating an abandoned police station and setting up one of Fred's signature traps to lure and unmask their latest monster. Unfortunately for those meddling kids, the monster they were after had other plans and had managed to mysteriously rig the trap to capture Mystery Inc. in an attempt to frame them for the crime the monster itself committed. Soon word gets out that Scooby and the gang are all behind bars and awaiting trial. Now society knows that something shaddy is going on, but anyone who tried to testify on the gang's behalf would be charged with tampering with a law enforcement investigation. If the gang could not be proven innocent within 3 days, they would be behind bars for good. So unfortunately this is one mystery that the gang can't exactly crack, given that their behind bars, and the Mystery Machine has been impounded. At the same time all this went down, we are introduced to our title character for the next 85 minutes, Scooby Doo's hyperactive nephew, Scrappy Doo. Who's currently living at a pizzeria, where his mother, Ruby Doo, works as a waitress dog, delivering pizzas to tables and even helping deliver pizza boxes to-go. Now Scrappy means well, but given his puppy power tendencies, Scrappy longs to be just as great of a mystery solving master as his Uncle Scooby. Unfortunately spending a majority of his time in a pizzeria where little to no bad guys appear, has lead to the pups imagination often getting the better of him, and him accusing most innocent people in the resturaunt of being a possible red herring, leading him to be viewed as an utter annoyance by resturaunt staff. After getting into trouble for the final time, Scrappy gets put in the dog house til he can learn to behave. Despite Ruby trying to reason with Scrappy, and maybe offer a way to channel all that puppy power energy in a way to get it under control, Scrappy laments that not only is he bored of being cooped up in a pizzeria all day, but also how he wants to carry on the same legacy as his Uncle Scooby, and make him proud. He constantly brags about how he supposedly isn't adraid of anything, but weither he wants to admit it or not, there is one fear he does have, that he'll have to come to terms with eventually. That being, the fear of letting his Uncle Scooby down. Scrappy knows that Scooby is as cowardly as he is hungy, but despite being a big fat coward, Scooby Doo manages to pull through and have himself a scooby snack and that's a straight up fact. But the idea of letting his uncle down by being as vulnerable as any other dog is something that Scrappy refuses to let happen at all costs. However things quickly get going when Scrappy sees a news broadcast showcasing that Mystery Inc. is behind bars and how law enforcement seems to be rigging the case to convict those meddling kids. Scrappy of course suspects shaddy practices within law enforcement and the court procedure, and decides he wants to prove the gang innocent. Not because he wants to get some respect, but simply because he knows the Scooby gang are innocent and he refuses to let them be wronged by the law. However he knows that he can't do this on his own, and soon meets a woman named Marcie Fleach (who was originally a recurring character from 2010's "Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated"), who adopted the nickname, "Hot Dog Water". She was also a friend of Mystery Inc, and had been trying to do some undercover detective work to find the culprit who framed Mystery Inc because he/she had a long standaing personal beef with them. After a bit of back and forth, the two decide to team up and head off on a road trip across the state, with Marcie basically playing straight man to Scrappy's "Puppy Power" antics, as they set of to find and unmask the culprit and clear Scooby and the gang's good names.
Scrappy isn't as hated in Latinamerica because his voice actor was someone who could make a much much higher pitch voice, so we could believe it was a puppy who was way over his head.
Well, one of them. I assume you mean Arturo Mercado, who also voiced Shaggy and has an incredibly wide range, but Jose Maria Iglesias, who also voiced Scrappy for a shorter while, had a voice much closer to the North American Scrappy, and it was distracting.
I was in the same boat as you. I remember just seeing random Scrappy episodes as a kid and not thinking too much of him one way or the other. In hindsight, I see where all the backlash came from. He's just a bit too heavy-handed compared to most other characters. P.S. I love your Scooby... err, cosplay. 😂
the Billiam/Scooby-Doo video I feel like I've waited 50 years for, and it was absolutely worth the wait--this is def one of my new favorites of your videos. Thanks for suffering through all these episodes for us, haha
I actually think Scrappy could work really well as a character if done correctly. The Scooby gang always felt like it needed a character that actually stood up to the “monsters” instead of running away (which happens so be a perfect description of many Scrappy-sized dogs in real life).
You raised a good point in that there is some charm to Scrappy with his affection for Scoob. When they tone him down in this upcoming material he's downright inoffensive. 99 episodes of filler fluff...poor soul. I hope they one day bring him back but do it in a way that brings out Scrappys potential to spice up the dynamic without being a full pest and the show missing the core Scooby elements.
@@Spuub Wait, you're 40 years old now, still alive after eating devil's food cake despite supposedly being a dog, and you still look like a puppy? *What the hell are you?*
I was a similar situation: having been born in the 90's with reruns of Classic and Scrappy alongside Pup and 13 Ghosts, Scrappy wasn't an overly-present character. Sometimes you had Scrappy, and sometimes you didn't. Thus I never really hated Scrappy, because he was a nice mix of variety. However, where I truly appreciated Scrappy's presence was the Scooby/Scrappy movies. Like "Ghoul School" and "Reluctant Werewolf"..
From the sound of things, Scrappy being added to the cast did cause problems upsetting the group dynamic, but more than anything it was the sheer fundamental decline in writing quality from fatigued writers and abandoning of the original premise that only exhausterbated his sudden addition to the show. Kind of makes me wonder what series where he was in but the writers were actually bringing their A-game would have gone.
I think if they created a lasting love interest for Scooby instead of the few episodes with Scooby Dumb and Doo fighting over Dee (these were the first couple of Dumb episodes which came after scrappy's introduction) might of been better than bringing in a fully talking puppy.
The “Richie Rich and Scooby Doo” cartoons are some of the greatest unintentional anti-comedy ever. If this were done on purpose, hipster comedy writers would love it.
I'm worried for Billiam, but in the same way that you're supposed to be worried about Dante walking through Hell. Only way out of this... is through. Can't wait til he tackles the movies.
When I was a kid a watched a ton of Boomerang, and every month they had a character who they dubbed “boomer-royalty” (once a month, but I think they repeated it every year) and I swear Scrappy Doo was one of them. I want to say he was August, October or November
Yeah you’re right, Scrappy was a Boomer-royalty character (legitimately the only time I got to see og Scrappy outside of the 3 movies and 13 Ghosts), but the last time that was several years ago, even way before the channel rebooted.
Yes. That is basically burned into my brain. When I was around 11, I had regular access to Boomerang for the first time ever, and it quickly became one of the main channels that I watched, before we got a new cable drive sheet a few months. And when Scrappy was announced for the Boomer-royalty, I made sure to record as many episodes as I could, since my access to Scrappy content had always been limited to a Christmas dvd compilation, and I had trouble finding the episodes online at the time
When I was younger, I only knew Scrappy-Doo from the Ghoul School movie and the like, so I never really understand the hate for him. Now I see that it's not so much Scrappy himself, but how the series shafted to a terrible direction after he appeared.
I always liked Scrappy. He, unironically, was/is my favorite character out of the group, and I always preferred when the show had him in it. I never understood why everyone hated him
Clicked to see why everyone hates Scrappy due to only really seeing him in movies. Hears the first Scrappy, start to understand. Gets halfway “Now I understand”
I think Scrappy-Doo was and is a good concept, I would actually like to see him return and he wasn't terrible in season 1. The issue comes in how he was handled in the later seasons. In the second season, cause of voice actor issues and the popularity of Scrappy-Doo, they decided to just put him as the focal point, give him traits of Fred, Velma and Daphne then throw those three away. Then everything only got worse and worse. The issue isn't Scrappy-Doo, it's how Scrappy-Doo was handled by the creators going onwards that was the issue.
First 15 episodes are some of my favourite childhood memories. Loved them. Still do. One thing to keep in mind is that the Polish dub's Scrappy wasn't as annoying.
They really pushed this wacky Scrappy Doo nonsense way too hard when I was a kid. Decades later when you can just see him occasionally it's not so bad, but back in the 80s I preferred just watching original 60s- early 70s scooby instead of the then- modern stuff.
The thing about the first episode when he is introduced does make sense as to why they just act like hes been part of the gang the whole time. In RL if your good friend introduces you to their nephew you usually try and make the nephew feel like part of the friend group and will let them hang out without any questions so he really feels like he part of the friend group and not just an extra person just being dragged along cause it would be mean if you didn't.
Scrappy's first voice is every old school NY-NJ hoodlum. The voice is just so common, but yeah for a puppy it sounds weird. Reminds me of the older folks I knew back home in Jersey. Aggressive shorter hoodlums.
Hanna Barbera Studios was in Sydney during the 70's-80's and I knew most of the staff growing up, my brother did the music for Scooby Doo in the 80's, most of my friends parents were animators.
This is interesting... I believe it's mostly because of his voice in English... Here in Brazil I know no one who hates Scrappy Doo, but from what I've seem, there were major changes from the English version. For example, his name was changed from Scrappy Doo to Scooby Loo, his voice sounded way more childish and didn't sound like an adult man, and when he tried to fight despite his height, they made his voice actor take some inspiration on how a puppy yaps as if they were menacing, which made him quite cute and interesting. I just learned that people from other countries hated him for some reason when I saw so many people talking baddly about him and I simply couldn't understand why. I believe this just shows how having a voice actor who has a voice that matches the character is so important to make them likeable. Edit: also, it seems like most of these episodes which were talked in this video weren't localized.
15:28 sadly not often. They oft pull a Tweetie Bird pronounciation. Lemme use a line from outlast as an example "Der was no putty tat dere." | "I thought I say a putty cat!"
The most important thing I learned from this video is that the Scooby-Doo bits from the Richie Rich Show are GREAT for out of context clips. Holy shit the "That was MYYYYYY DINNER!" at 17:39 had me rolling
Billiam is a braver man than most people are willing to admit. Who else would be willing to watch every Scooby Doo episode in the Scrappy Doo era of the franchise and not go insane from Scrappy's mere presence?
i did the same with Twilight. It was painful, but at least i can honestly say i gave it a chance. Funny enough the fans found the end just as insulting as i did.
Interesting points I've always made, that are overlooked, such as Fred and the girls starting to be downplayed even before Scrappy was added. The addition of Scrappy and the change of format gave it a rest, and allowed them to start over with new ideas. The "Scary Scooby Funnies" were actually seasons 2 and 3 ('80,81), not season 4 ('82). This is what they were rebranded as when they were rebroadcast in '84 along with the new spisodes that season. While very far from the original show, I would say these six do have some elements of the old mystery format: Chinese Food Factory (the only phony ghost unmasked, and one of two crimefighting stories) Moonlight Madness (has the most feel of a mystery) Surprised Spies (the only other crimefighing story) A Fright At the Opera (also has the feel of a mystery) Scooby's Roots (house haunted by a ghost that's unmasked, but still real) South Seas Scare (begins a lot like a mystery)
Scrappy Doo, to me, was a case of extreme over-exposure. Like most marketing departments in the 80s, you found your iconic design, and merch the bajeezus out of it. Problem Hannah-Barbera had was protecting the character in the show that pushed the merch. So Scooby Doo remains, to this day, a reliable marketing icon, and Scrappy is now a pejorative for annoying, spotlight stealing new/side character.
Hanna-Barbera Studios didn’t understand that Lennie Weinrib was not the person to go to for kids’ voices. Because years later, he was also used as the original voice for Freddy Flintstone on the Flintstone Kids.
After I watched a few episodes of The Scooby & Scrappy Doo show I was surprised when I realized Fred, Velma & Daphne were removed from the show I mean I knew there were Scooby-Doo incarnations where they were absent I just wasn't expecting the characters to leave the show during season 1 I thought they were removed in one of the following incarnations of Scooby-Doo that came afterwards. The show from what I've seen started out similar to the status quo of the franchise with them solving mysteries but it took a different direction and instead of them solving mysteries they just kinda get into weird wacky problems the show was fine when the whole gang was there but it feels so weird when they got removed and then randomly added Daphne but not the others. I think the fact that some of the major characters got removed is a large reason why Scrappy get's so much hate I kinda wish WB would give Scrappy another chance. One final note it's strange how Velma, Fred & Daphne were removed from the Scooby & Scrappy show but yet in episodes after their departure they weren't removed from the theme song and can still be seen in it despite not being in the show.
Kinda makes me think a clever thing to do for the shorter one's would be to have varied cat team ups. Like sometimes its Shaggy & Daphne hanging out starting shit, or Fred & Velma ETC.
When I was a child I used to watch the cartoons in Spanish and I really liked Scrappy because he had an adorable voice, but everything changed after I watched the live action movie ):
James Gunn is public enemy #1 to the Scoobyverse in my opinion. His hatred for Scrappy transcended all logic and he felt it was perfectly acceptable to spew his hatred on-camera and by breaking canon in writing the film. I will always have a special place in my heart for this movie, but I do so with a bittersweet understanding of what went into it.
I think what you said was a fair review. I think it was a little harsh, in regards to 'Scrappy doesn't need to be excited everywhere he goes' considering he IS a puppy and that's just what they do. BUT... I also didn't binge watch 99 episodes either. I've always liked Scrappy as a character, especially because of 13 Ghosts and the Ghoul School, so the hate didn't make sense to me. But, it seems to be a case of writing quality declining and people just blame it on the character as Scrappy showed up around the same time. A pity the franchise is so anti- Scrappy, because honestly with them reinventing the series every few years... Now is the perfect time to try and do their own take of something that feels like the original show, but using Scrappy's dynamic to help add some hilarity with Daphne, Fred, and Velma instead.
That's it, either we need a mystery for the gang to solve in an internet world with internet monsters that can evolve or there needs to be a scooby doo digimon!
Because you can't get that Fred, Velma, and Daphne are different/better/whatever across on a poster or in a short commercial as quickly/easily as you can "HEY, THERE'S A NEW CHARACTER IN THE CAST, IT'S A DIFFERENT SHOW NOW". Or at least that's what I imagine.
“I’ve seen every episode of Scrappy Doo” is almost as bad as saying “I’ve binged every episode of Supernatural 5 times in a row”. No one should do any of that. Edit: no hate to Supernatural fans, I’ve seen the series multiple times myself. Stop being mad I’m memeing ;-;
Excuse me? Did you see people who "binged every episode of batwoman 5 times"? There's a big difference between the two you list and the one I listed. Those two people have taste, the one I listed doesn't.
Everybody is dissing me like I caused a terrorist attack. I can’t even enjoy my hot pockets without somebody comin for my neck. My uncle scoob did this.
I know I used to watch a lot of these "Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo" episodes on Cartoon Network back in the day, but I never realized there were THAT many episodes. Seeing Shaggy and the dogs go on these crazy adventures wasn't too out of left field for me as a kid, but I may need to watch some of these episodes with fresh eyes. Hope you get a lot of rest and that the next Scooby shows will do better for you. Also, if you're looking into the "13 Ghosts" series, just be prepared for disappointment with the finale film's ending.
9:39 So casually too, like this bug alien guy is being chased by the cops but he's still driving with just one hand on the wheel, the other on his leg like he's just out for a pleasant cruise in the quaint human vehicle he's rented for his visit to Earth.
So, I got to the sponsor and I want to put this out there: The reason people don't like Scrappy comes in three groups 1) Don't mess with my Scooby-Doo formula, 2) Poor writing on the show, and 3) Scrappy acts like a puppy and when you make a human-like being act like a puppy they go from funny and cute to annoying and awful. The first is obvious. People like to keep things as close to the same as always. So the least liked shows are often rated as The Many Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue and the Scrappy-Doo episodes. The second is self-evident. The third is difficult to understand. Why would we love puppies and watch videos of them, but not like them if they were a human that acted like a puppy. Well, describe a puppy. They follow you around and idolize their older pack leader. They think they can take on any danger. And they won't listen to their human, running after everything until you train them. Scrappy is basically an untrained puppy and Shaggy needs one of those people from the dog training shows. Scrappy idolizes Scooby, but we now can hear him say it in human speech. He is constantly talking, which is barking with words, He is ready to fight and run after everything. I say, if Scrappy were to be written better, people would like him more. But overcoming the first problem is rare and overcoming the third problem changes the character from a puppy to an older dog, which might not be too bad except a dog that's a little older but still a puppy would look too much like an adult. It would take really good writing and some suspension of disbelief to make Scrappy work.
"scooby leaves the girl he's been wooing on the altar" scooby doo: certified scumbag also why is that poodle fully anthropromorphised? that's weird. You're weird, random anthro poodle who I don't think even has a name.
It's fairly common for female cartoon animals to have more exaggerated human proportions/behaviors than their male counter parts. Lola Bunny comes to mind. They also tend to act more human like too. There's an episode of Looney Toons where Buggs was confused for a baby gorilla (it's just as weird in context) by a pair of wild gorillas. The mother gorilla wore a tutu and bow on her head, constantly walked upright like a human, and nagged at her husband in long strings of gibberish. In contrast, the father had no clothing, constantly walked like a real gorilla would, and growled like an animal most of the time. The more you know!
theory time! the entirety of the Scooby & Scrappy-Doo series is Just stories Scrappy is telling his friends. embellishing on details or just straight up making it up.
Maybe not, because then when billiam gets a live action movie, the sea monkeys will come back disguised as a director for a haunted youtube theme park in not hawaii to harness billiam's soul, chew
In Spanish language Scrappy had a "better" voice. At least they we're trying to make him sound like a little kid, but the English voice... It's like Tony Soprano imitating a little kid
Honestly, Scrappy is one of my favorite characters in the franchise, and I was honestly sad that they made him the villain of the first live action movie and that everyone likes to rag on him. Though that could just be nostalgia talking but I do still like scrappy, and wish that new versions of the show could use him, Maybe even bring Yabba in though I didn't know about him before this video.
Same. I wish they'd actually put effort into making the character work instead of just going the easy low hanging fruit *lazy* "ur dur let's shit on a character" route.
I'm brazilian and in portuguese he actually sounds like a kid, but even sounding like a kid I always hated him because of how he want to pick fights and causes troubles for everyone.
When I saw that Tweet you made about Scrappy and the lobster and watched the episode I thought it was dumb, but I didn't know the whole series was like this! You're brave.... and also very, VERY mad.
Does anyone remember that theory that Scrappy was actually Scooby-Doo's 40 year old drunk uncle who just pretended to be his nephew? And that's why he was so into fighting and being a jerk. I mean if their wasn't an episode showing Scrappy's birth I would totally believe it.
The old Scooby Doo shows have become my go to background noise, but I've been avoiding Scrappy because I hate his voice. I finally caved and am working my way through all of Scooby and Scrappy Doo. I feel your pain.
I’m currently getting over a cold and when you started listing off all the different Scrappy disguises I started laughing so hard I went into a coughing fit and nearly passed out. 11/10 would do it again.

After a bit of back and forth, the two decide to team up and head off on a road trip across the state, with Marcie basically playing straight man to Scrappy's "Puppy Power" antics, as they set of to find and unmask the culprit and clear Scooby and the gang's good names.

@@NegativeDumpster What do you like most about it? :)
Scrappy isn't as hated in Latinamerica because his voice actor was someone who could make a much much higher pitch voice, so we could believe it was a puppy who was way over his head.
Well, one of them. I assume you mean Arturo Mercado, who also voiced Shaggy and has an incredibly wide range, but Jose Maria Iglesias, who also voiced Scrappy for a shorter while, had a voice much closer to the North American Scrappy, and it was distracting.

I was in the same boat as you. I remember just seeing random Scrappy episodes as a kid and not thinking too much of him one way or the other. In hindsight, I see where all the backlash came from. He's just a bit too heavy-handed compared to most other characters.

I actually think Scrappy could work really well as a character if done correctly. The Scooby gang always felt like it needed a character that actually stood up to the “monsters” instead of running away (which happens so be a perfect description of many Scrappy-sized dogs in real life).
You raised a good point in that there is some charm to Scrappy with his affection for Scoob. When they tone him down in this upcoming material he's downright inoffensive. 99 episodes of filler fluff...poor soul. I hope they one day bring him back but do it in a way that brings out Scrappys potential to spice up the dynamic without being a full pest and the show missing the core Scooby elements.

I was a similar situation: having been born in the 90's with reruns of Classic and Scrappy alongside Pup and 13 Ghosts, Scrappy wasn't an overly-present character. Sometimes you had Scrappy, and sometimes you didn't. Thus I never really hated Scrappy, because he was a nice mix of variety.
However, where I truly appreciated Scrappy's presence was the Scooby/Scrappy movies. Like "Ghoul School" and "Reluctant Werewolf"..
From the sound of things, Scrappy being added to the cast did cause problems upsetting the group dynamic, but more than anything it was the sheer fundamental decline in writing quality from fatigued writers and abandoning of the original premise that only exhausterbated his sudden addition to the show.
Kind of makes me wonder what series where he was in but the writers were actually bringing their A-game would have gone.
If they took a 3 year hiatus in say 81 or 82. And then brought out "Scooby-Doo and the Crew" in 85, it likely would have worked better.
But here we are
Scrappy saved the franchise when he was first added. It was soon over used
I think if they created a lasting love interest for Scooby instead of the few episodes with Scooby Dumb and Doo fighting over Dee (these were the first couple of Dumb episodes which came after scrappy's introduction) might of been better than bringing in a fully talking puppy.
I'd watch these episodes any day over Velma. Especially the random guy turning into a werewolf for no reason it's so outlandish it's hilarious.
That's my favorite villain: actual bear.

Its cause he uses the violin music from the intro
The “Scrappy Disguises” rant had so much raw Pepe Silvia energy it’s not even funny
They f**k with people.
I was gonna say they thought they were in Animaniacs.
When I was a kid a watched a ton of Boomerang, and every month they had a character who they dubbed “boomer-royalty” (once a month, but I think they repeated it every year) and I swear Scrappy Doo was one of them. I want to say he was August, October or November
Yeah you’re right, Scrappy was a Boomer-royalty character (legitimately the only time I got to see og Scrappy outside of the 3 movies and 13 Ghosts), but the last time that was several years ago, even way before the channel rebooted.
I remember that!
Yes. That is basically burned into my brain. When I was around 11, I had regular access to Boomerang for the first time ever, and it quickly became one of the main channels that I watched, before we got a new cable drive sheet a few months. And when Scrappy was announced for the Boomer-royalty, I made sure to record as many episodes as I could, since my access to Scrappy content had always been limited to a Christmas dvd compilation, and I had trouble finding the episodes online at the time
When I was younger, I only knew Scrappy-Doo from the Ghoul School movie and the like, so I never really understand the hate for him. Now I see that it's not so much Scrappy himself, but how the series shafted to a terrible direction after he appeared.

I don't know what the guy's deal at 10:28 is either, but I somehow resonate with him on an emotional level.
This comment deserves 100 likes lol
Clicked to see why everyone hates Scrappy due to only really seeing him in movies. Hears the first Scrappy, start to understand. Gets halfway “Now I understand”
I think Scrappy-Doo was and is a good concept, I would actually like to see him return and he wasn't terrible in season 1.
The issue comes in how he was handled in the later seasons. In the second season, cause of voice actor issues and the popularity of Scrappy-Doo, they decided to just put him as the focal point, give him traits of Fred, Velma and Daphne then throw those three away. Then everything only got worse and worse.
The issue isn't Scrappy-Doo, it's how Scrappy-Doo was handled by the creators going onwards that was the issue.
I never hated Scrappy and I think what really solidified it for me was 13 Ghosts.
13 Ghosts was such dumb fun, like your first episode is Daphne being turned into a werewolf and it only gets more weird from there.
I never hated him either. And 13 Ghosts was awesome. Vincent Price was awesome too!
Scrappy is happy
Say what you want about Scrappy, he's not as big a mistake as Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue.
@@TeamFriendship8600 I'm convinced that show was only for the sake of using the IP on something.
First 15 episodes are some of my favourite childhood memories. Loved them. Still do. One thing to keep in mind is that the Polish dub's Scrappy wasn't as annoying.
I never got the appeal of intentionally obnoxious characters 🤢 Scrappy was so cute in his 4-legged puppy form tho
people seem to think kids love obnoxious characters... sometimes they make whole shows about only obnoxious characters.
Scrappy's got so many disguises, he's looking like a freaking gacha game fanservice character with how many alts that he's got
Best comment right here ^^
They really pushed this wacky Scrappy Doo nonsense way too hard when I was a kid. Decades later when you can just see him occasionally it's not so bad, but back in the 80s I preferred just watching original 60s- early 70s scooby instead of the then- modern stuff.
Scrappy was the 80’s
@@Spuub that's the point, I was a kid in the 80s, scrappy was the 80s, I watch the 69 and early 70s stuff instead
@@Spuub Profile picture checks out.
Scoob 2: Scrapp
I watched the Scrappy cartoons in the 80's but I preferred the early seasons too.
The thing about the first episode when he is introduced does make sense as to why they just act like hes been part of the gang the whole time. In RL if your good friend introduces you to their nephew you usually try and make the nephew feel like part of the friend group and will let them hang out without any questions so he really feels like he part of the friend group and not just an extra person just being dragged along cause it would be mean if you didn't.
so in other words: Scrappy wasn't bad, the format changed around Scrappy was.
Scrappy's first voice is every old school NY-NJ hoodlum. The voice is just so common, but yeah for a puppy it sounds weird. Reminds me of the older folks I knew back home in Jersey. Aggressive shorter hoodlums.

Hanna Barbera Studios was in Sydney during the 70's-80's and I knew most of the staff growing up, my brother did the music for Scooby Doo in the 80's, most of my friends parents were animators.
This is interesting... I believe it's mostly because of his voice in English... Here in Brazil I know no one who hates Scrappy Doo, but from what I've seem, there were major changes from the English version. For example, his name was changed from Scrappy Doo to Scooby Loo, his voice sounded way more childish and didn't sound like an adult man, and when he tried to fight despite his height, they made his voice actor take some inspiration on how a puppy yaps as if they were menacing, which made him quite cute and interesting. I just learned that people from other countries hated him for some reason when I saw so many people talking baddly about him and I simply couldn't understand why. I believe this just shows how having a voice actor who has a voice that matches the character is so important to make them likeable.
Edit: also, it seems like most of these episodes which were talked in this video weren't localized.

The most important thing I learned from this video is that the Scooby-Doo bits from the Richie Rich Show are GREAT for out of context clips. Holy shit the "That was MYYYYYY DINNER!" at 17:39 had me rolling
Billiam is a braver man than most people are willing to admit. Who else would be willing to watch every Scooby Doo episode in the Scrappy Doo era of the franchise and not go insane from Scrappy's mere presence?
i did the same with Twilight. It was painful, but at least i can honestly say i gave it a chance. Funny enough the fans found the end just as insulting as i did.
*rolls eyes* Ooh, big man. Sooo brave.
You can avoid going insane if you break it up.
“Splat” no longer sounds like a word
I used to wake up early to watch a Pup named Scooby-Doo. I really loved that show as a kid.
Interesting points I've always made, that are overlooked, such as Fred and the girls starting to be downplayed even before Scrappy was added. The addition of Scrappy and the change of format gave it a rest, and allowed them to start over with new ideas.
The "Scary Scooby Funnies" were actually seasons 2 and 3 ('80,81), not season 4 ('82). This is what they were rebranded as when they were rebroadcast in '84 along with the new spisodes that season.
While very far from the original show, I would say these six do have some elements of the old mystery format:
Chinese Food Factory (the only phony ghost unmasked, and one of two crimefighting stories)
Moonlight Madness (has the most feel of a mystery)
Surprised Spies (the only other crimefighing story)
A Fright At the Opera (also has the feel of a mystery)
Scooby's Roots (house haunted by a ghost that's unmasked, but still real)
South Seas Scare (begins a lot like a mystery)
Scrappy Doo, to me, was a case of extreme over-exposure. Like most marketing departments in the 80s, you found your iconic design, and merch the bajeezus out of it. Problem Hannah-Barbera had was protecting the character in the show that pushed the merch. So Scooby Doo remains, to this day, a reliable marketing icon, and Scrappy is now a pejorative for annoying, spotlight stealing new/side character.
Hanna-Barbera Studios didn’t understand that Lennie Weinrib was not the person to go to for kids’ voices. Because years later, he was also used as the original voice for Freddy Flintstone on the Flintstone Kids.
After I watched a few episodes of The Scooby & Scrappy Doo show I was surprised when I realized Fred, Velma & Daphne were removed from the show I mean I knew there were Scooby-Doo incarnations where they were absent I just wasn't expecting the characters to leave the show during season 1 I thought they were removed in one of the following incarnations of Scooby-Doo that came afterwards.
The show from what I've seen started out similar to the status quo of the franchise with them solving mysteries but it took a different direction and instead of them solving mysteries they just kinda get into weird wacky problems the show was fine when the whole gang was there but it feels so weird when they got removed and then randomly added Daphne but not the others. I think the fact that some of the major characters got removed is a large reason why Scrappy get's so much hate I kinda wish WB would give Scrappy another chance.
One final note it's strange how Velma, Fred & Daphne were removed from the Scooby & Scrappy show but yet in episodes after their departure they weren't removed from the theme song and can still be seen in it despite not being in the show.
Thanks uncle scoob
Kinda makes me think a clever thing to do for the shorter one's would be to have varied cat team ups. Like sometimes its Shaggy & Daphne hanging out starting shit, or Fred & Velma ETC.

James Gunn is public enemy #1 to the Scoobyverse in my opinion. His hatred for Scrappy transcended all logic and he felt it was perfectly acceptable to spew his hatred on-camera and by breaking canon in writing the film.

I think what you said was a fair review. I think it was a little harsh, in regards to 'Scrappy doesn't need to be excited everywhere he goes' considering he IS a puppy and that's just what they do. BUT... I also didn't binge watch 99 episodes either. I've always liked Scrappy as a character, especially because of 13 Ghosts and the Ghoul School, so the hate didn't make sense to me. But, it seems to be a case of writing quality declining and people just blame it on the character as Scrappy showed up around the same time.
A pity the franchise is so anti- Scrappy, because honestly with them reinventing the series every few years... Now is the perfect time to try and do their own take of something that feels like the original show, but using Scrappy's dynamic to help add some hilarity with Daphne, Fred, and Velma instead.

Ah the classic "too much steam turns you into a baby gag"
Haven't seen that one in agez
So, I got to the sponsor and I want to put this out there: The reason people don't like Scrappy comes in three groups 1) Don't mess with my Scooby-Doo formula, 2) Poor writing on the show, and 3) Scrappy acts like a puppy and when you make a human-like being act like a puppy they go from funny and cute to annoying and awful.
The first is obvious. People like to keep things as close to the same as always. So the least liked shows are often rated as The Many Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue and the Scrappy-Doo episodes.
The second is self-evident.
The third is difficult to understand. Why would we love puppies and watch videos of them, but not like them if they were a human that acted like a puppy. Well, describe a puppy. They follow you around and idolize their older pack leader. They think they can take on any danger. And they won't listen to their human, running after everything until you train them. Scrappy is basically an untrained puppy and Shaggy needs one of those people from the dog training shows. Scrappy idolizes Scooby, but we now can hear him say it in human speech. He is constantly talking, which is barking with words, He is ready to fight and run after everything.
I say, if Scrappy were to be written better, people would like him more. But overcoming the first problem is rare and overcoming the third problem changes the character from a puppy to an older dog, which might not be too bad except a dog that's a little older but still a puppy would look too much like an adult. It would take really good writing and some suspension of disbelief to make Scrappy work.

also why is that poodle fully anthropromorphised? that's weird. You're weird, random anthro poodle who I don't think even has a name.
It's fairly common for female cartoon animals to have more exaggerated human proportions/behaviors than their male counter parts. Lola Bunny comes to mind. They also tend to act more human like too. There's an episode of Looney Toons where Buggs was confused for a baby gorilla (it's just as weird in context) by a pair of wild gorillas. The mother gorilla wore a tutu and bow on her head, constantly walked upright like a human, and nagged at her husband in long strings of gibberish. In contrast, the father had no clothing, constantly walked like a real gorilla would, and growled like an animal most of the time.
