I'm genuinely impressed with how Kaling has managed to unite literally everyone, regardless of race, gender, economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pronouns, political beliefs, or background, in hating it.
Honesty this is exactly what I was thinking while I watched it. I'm progressive, Velma reads like what a trump supporter thinks a Sander's presidency would look like
Mindy Kaling's c.v.: Father is a well-known architect, mother was a successful doctor Grew up in the rich area of Cambridge, Massachusetts Graduate Darmouth College (Ivy League) with a degree in playwriting (they have degrees in that?) Immediately went to work in show business--never waitressed, never did housekeeping, never did an honest day's work in her life, just went from a rich suburb to a rich kids' school to a rich kids' idea of a job And she can't write characters that are real, funny, and relatable? Who could have seen that coming?
@@cerdic6305 drag queens have historically been gay men and are a huge part of gay culture. You can be homophobic and watch drag but why waste your time? Go watch Duck Dynasty or something else worth your time
@Cedric I dare you to show us one legitimate homophobic person that genuinely likes drag. They don’t exist. You’re no different from the people that said Quentin Tarantino was a racist for saying the N word in his movies
She kind of committed a "woke" trifecta 1. race/gender-swapped(w/ a self-insert) 2. changed the original IP making it unrecognizable 3. insulted the audience (political and marginalizations). Most of the shows the internet deems "woke" ususally has one, or two of the above, but this show had all three.
It's ironic that Fred is made the subject of every joke because he's rich, when the self insert writer comes from an Ivy league background and both her parents are rich. So if anything it's just projection.
Yep, because the leftist way is to externalise the cause of all your problems. Mindy/Velma's problem isn't that she lives in a society where she's downtrodden, it's that she has a chip on her shoulder about not getting enough of a share of everything. Very entitled, very much expected these days.
No loyalty among thieves man :)) making a mish mash of ideas from other shows is not writing... and whatever is original in that show must be very disturbing because it tends to reflect the writer's state of mind XD
That's the end of every cult, they get paranoid and attack each other, and finally just the most insane people stay inside of it. That's a great sign, those woke morons will fall into obscurity...
I love this guy's voice. The narrator is perfect for this kind of social critique commentary. There's something in his cadence from the word jump on just a baritone base level that he starts at a default setting of pure sarcasm. And it's pure opium for the ears. Something about his delivery you can instantly visualize the smirk behind the commentary. When he actually leans into being fasciitis, it's instant highlight reel, greatest hits package for the time capsule. Not bad for an incel sleeper agent for Hydra.
And shaggy does love eating all kinds of things especially watermelon and fried chicken. Mindy really likes to bringing It to the forefront while shaggy sits in the back of the bus.

"Velma" is basically the result of trying to draw Scooby Doo and Daria from memory and failing, then using the same Matter Transporter from "The Fly" to fuse them. 😄😄😄😄😄😄

Which is just inherently racist/homophobic/fucking stupid. But yeah the mom analogy was pretty perfect lmfao love this video thank you 😭👏🤣
@@darrengordon-hill i do and yeah it kinda was worth seeing both. I have friends who watch one or the other so this allows interaction with a wider group of people. Scooby-doo is a great franchise that I've enjoyed consistently over the years, from pup to mystery inc. I do hope this new series doesn't hold it back from expanding and trying new things in the future. Stay optimistic. It could open the doors for something truly great in the future even if this series pisses off everyone under the sun.
An actual incel is someone who craves validation from others (especially women) but because of lack of resources, appearance, personality, etc. cannot and will not get it. They also resent the fact that they cannot get it.
When the parasites use the term "incel," they are unknowingly stating that women are nothing more than sexual objects that some men are incapable of attaining. The same people that say that women are not sexual objects are saying that men who don't get women as sexual objects are "losers." Lol. The entire ideology of these people is nothing more than a hilarious set of contradictions.
Everyone knows that all the guys prefer Velma. Always have and always will. So they took it upon themselves to remake her and say: oh no no no. THIS is how she should be and what you SHOULD like.” I’ve had it with our society. 😅
I'm 100% convinced that this was the thinking behind making Velma the front runner. Let alone Velma is like an incredibly white person name if I've head one. Like Fred Jones- 100% American suburbs.
@@illucidate3749 If I had to guess the writer hates white guys. And likes to insult people because she's a spoiled rich girl and hasn't got her ass kicked for mouthing off at people. (rather like a female Justin Beiber)
I love that they're so mad that the show is objectively awful that rather than pretend it's not, they just accuse the creator of being part of a psy-op instead. I'd hope she remembers this, but she's too busy being oppressed despite coming from a rich family who went to an Ivy League school purely because she had enough money and influence to be let in despite lacking the merits.
Honestly, the fact that these people immediately assume that a piece of media too stupid to word-salad-ize it’s implementation of their ideology, thus making the inconsistencies and stupidities glaringly obvious is so, so hilarious. No, loves, it’s not a psy-op; y’all are really just that dense. Your brains would sink faster than the titanic in water, that really is the long and short of it.
"Velma has an 18% audience score, as opposed to its 60% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes." The bigger the difference between audience and critic score is the more the audience is right is like the golden rule of Rotten Tomatoes. Screen Rant tries really hard to stay relevant after Ryan got his own channel I guess.
Sadly I gotta agree with you on the Eric butts analysis. He truly represents the embodiment of the last man. Pursues pleasure and has no higher thinking or morality than that which makes him comfortable. The very concept of creativity or love benumbs him. And sadly he is but one of millions.
I feel embarrassed for everyone behind the making of "Velma", only because I know most of them can't feel anything. Being the soulless husks that they are.
Velma is a perfect example on how to deliberately destroy a once-beloved classic cartoon run by simple-minded creators who care more about money and show no care by throwing a classic cartoon show into a trash and turn it into something incredibly cringy.
I have an idea for a show called "Shaggy". It's about a straight white man who has a dog named Scooby, and who has moved away from his college friends who all dropped him for being a level headed normal person. It's about his adventures navigating this insane world as someone with common sense. Perhaps he smokes weed once in a while and thinks Scooby talks to him during his drug fueled hazes. Idk. Doesn't it sound better than this already though? I spent about 5 seconds on it.
I think that something people dont realize too is that just because a platform like hbo max or netflix advertises a show as number one on their platform, doesn't mean the show is actually getting views. Like they can legally completely make that slot up and not face any sort of repercussions.
As someone that is easily amused... it wasn't funny, it wasn't witty, it was just Mindy Kaling in all her glory being a dumpster fire of a human being.
I’m calling it now: the only reference to Scooby (if they even do, given it’s obviously too childish to include a talking dog) is going to be a brutally murdered Great Dane with flies swarming it’s corpse while the characters apathetically “joke” at its expense. You know…the perfect metaphor for how this show treats the IP! Edit: Apparently I may be wrong based on a new screenshot that surfaced…apparently Scooby is instead going to be a food critic named Scoobi that Norville dates to get over Velma…I can’t tell if what I initially thought is better or worse…
The 2 best Scooby Doo recreations were both on Robot Chicken. One had a rape ghost that enraged Velma because he violated everyone but her and the other saw Scooby Doo get decapitated by someone wearing a hockey mask and put his head on a pole.
This thing embodies the concept of something you loved as a child which is pure and innocent and then had someone shit on it and corrupt it into something it is not.
So, while scrolling through a thought came to mind. You remember those animated Music videos for Mystery Skull songs that are full on Scooby Doo parodies/homages? Even those manage to do a better job at being a Scooby doo thing then Velma. Just a thought.
Let us take a moment to thank the Tolkien fandom for making all this possible. Before this year, a fandom had never, unequivocally, biblically united in such a monumentally terrifying way that slapped down the lazy, cynical, "modern" bastardisation of a sacred work so horrifically that the studio had no idea what had just hit them. It was godlike. Now, things as obscure as Willow, She-Hulk, and Scooby fucking Doo have fandoms that are galvanised and feel able to step up and say HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NO. Take a moment lads and ladies. Tolkien fans paved the road. Walk it. Walk it often and as if you hate fucking concrete. (Honourable mention to She-Ra and He-Man fans. You tried and like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dr Who fans before you, the tide hadn't quite turned far enough, but we see you. We know you stood strong before it was popular.)
I was there when they killed Star Wars. I tried. I really did. When Princess Leia turned into Mary Poppins I couldn't take it anymore. I haven't watched anything Star Wars related since that moment. I can't. I'm seriously not capable of doing it especially since there are literally dozens of Star Wars books they could have used.
@@BigHailFan Eventually, you'll have to, these people won't stop until they infiltrate everything people enjoy, and turn it into a miserable experience.
At least Daria had a point when it came to calling out the BS of certain marketing and propaganda. She knows that the system is messed up, all the while still undergoing her teenage years of between figuring out herself while trolling various adults that want her to be similar to every other normal people she see's, even the stupid ones. Velma is like being reminded of a bad episode take of Rick and Morty, meets the people behind that awful Santa show Seth made, all the while taking a beloved IP and doing everything that screams Woke Checklist to please themselves as "creators" then to admit the truth that this creation is a utter flunk. To Borrow the song line from Daria's theme opening to sum up Velma, "your standing on my neck."
You know, growing up i had a lot of friends who weren't allowed to have a real dog, the only dogs they were allowed were stuffed animals and cartoons on TV, like Scooby Doo. So i want everyone to take a moment of silence in honor of all those children who had their *only* childhood dog taken away and executed like Old Yeller behind the barn by Mindy Kaling and HBO max.
@@sophiacristinaOh boy… I have bad news my friend… Scooby IS in the show, but he isn’t a dog, he is a HUMAN FEMALE who Norville falls in love with. Her name is now “Scoobi”. 💀
@@sophiacristina I love and admire your optimism but what you've said implies the writers did something good.... if they had done something good, the show would not be the way it is lol
Have you noticed what Velma has in common with She-Hulk?? It's also set in a courtroom where nothing they say or do is lawfully applicable, except to show 'how easy men have it.'
7:30 saying it’s just a bad show is not only facetious but it’s dismissive of the reason why it’s a bad show; because of the political views of the writers.
My guess for the ending of the show. The murder victims were killed because they were gonna tell about Daphne selling drugs and so her parents killed them to keep them quiet and not lose their daughter. The parents go to jail and Daphne goes into Velmas embrace.
It's funny how the Fred jokes all boil down to Mindi's sexual angst and loathing for all of the handsome white guys who didn't want to date her.
Many such cases, like Ash sarkar
🤣🤣🤣
Would disagree if that was an actual plot on the Mindy Show.
I think she also projected her privileged rich life onto him. She projects her idealized nonexistent self into Velma, and her actual self-hatred self into Fred.
Daphne is who she wants acceptance from.
And Shaggy exists solely to boost Velma/Mindy' social status as a simp.
There it is.
Nail on the head.

I've never understood how Mindy Kaling ever got more work after the Office. Or how she ever got cast on the Office. Or how her character on the Office was supposed to be hot.
I mean Mindy was a writer. So that's probably why she wrote her character as hot
She is a rich kid from a rich family. With the right connections, no ammount of failure can keep her from getting more jobs in the industry.

LMFAO okay the mom analogy was honestly the best because my biggest problem was not just them changing the characters races and sexualities but how much they FORCED IT, and how they completely changed the characters personalities and also seemed to try and MAKE those changes part of their personalities?? Which is just inherently racist/homophobic/fucking stupid.
But yeah the mom analogy was pretty perfect lmfao love this video thank you 😭👏🤣
Scooby was turned into a black woman? OK, this show is a train wreck.

Do you care About Scooby-Doo?
Is it truly worth TWO Critical Drinker videos (one on each channel)?
@@darrengordon-hill i do and yeah it kinda was worth seeing both. I have friends who watch one or the other so this allows interaction with a wider group of people. Scooby-doo is a great franchise that I've enjoyed consistently over the years, from pup to mystery inc. I do hope this new series doesn't hold it back from expanding and trying new things in the future. Stay optimistic. It could open the doors for something truly great in the future even if this series pisses off everyone under the sun.
Even HRP made a video on Velma.

*Skeletor walks away* "Until next time!"
Maybe Skeletor has a point...
I must admit skeletor was better ripped than she-man trust me that's what skeletor called him, and he should know....
An actual incel is someone who craves validation from others (especially women) but because of lack of resources, appearance, personality, etc. cannot and will not get it. They also resent the fact that they cannot get it.
@@Shadow_Sonata their inaction is a choice. They are merely reaping what they sow.
When the parasites use the term "incel," they are unknowingly stating that women are nothing more than sexual objects that some men are incapable of attaining. The same people that say that women are not sexual objects are saying that men who don't get women as sexual objects are "losers." Lol. The entire ideology of these people is nothing more than a hilarious set of contradictions.

Everyone knows that all the guys prefer Velma. Always have and always will. So they took it upon themselves to remake her and say: oh no no no. THIS is how she should be and what you SHOULD like.” I’ve had it with our society. 😅
I'm 100% convinced that this was the thinking behind making Velma the front runner. Let alone Velma is like an incredibly white person name if I've head one. Like Fred Jones- 100% American suburbs.
Give it some time, society is collapsing. Things will change eventually.
@@illucidate3749 If I had to guess the writer hates white guys. And likes to insult people because she's a spoiled rich girl and hasn't got her ass kicked for mouthing off at people. (rather like a female Justin Beiber)

I wouldn't screw Velma with my worst enemies 🐓
I love that they're so mad that the show is objectively awful that rather than pretend it's not, they just accuse the creator of being part of a psy-op instead.
I'd hope she remembers this, but she's too busy being oppressed despite coming from a rich family who went to an Ivy League school purely because she had enough money and influence to be let in despite lacking the merits.
You don't understand, amicus. It's HISTORICAL oppression.
@@bulletbill5977 No, you don't understand. I don't care.

She's richer than most whites ive come across but I've mostly only met American soldiers.
Honestly, the fact that these people immediately assume that a piece of media too stupid to word-salad-ize it’s implementation of their ideology, thus making the inconsistencies and stupidities glaringly obvious is so, so hilarious. No, loves, it’s not a psy-op; y’all are really just that dense. Your brains would sink faster than the titanic in water, that really is the long and short of it.
Velma makes Daria look like a masterpiece. And Lily Singh and Mindy Kallig seem like the same person.
"HBOMax should be on goddamn discount" - Gundam
I guess you can watch The Sopranos
HBO Max should pay its audience to have their streaming service.
"Velma has an 18% audience score, as opposed to its 60% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes."
The bigger the difference between audience and critic score is the more the audience is right is like the golden rule of Rotten Tomatoes. Screen Rant tries really hard to stay relevant after Ryan got his own channel I guess.
It's 55%/6% now. It goes to show how out of touch the critics are and they're getting worse.
Sadly I gotta agree with you on the Eric butts analysis. He truly represents the embodiment of the last man. Pursues pleasure and has no higher thinking or morality than that which makes him comfortable. The very concept of creativity or love benumbs him. And sadly he is but one of millions.
Show so woke, Scooby-Doo put himself down.
Mindy Kaling is her own worst enemy which is good for her because Hollywood is packed to the brim with people like that and so she keeps getting work.
I feel embarrassed for everyone behind the making of "Velma", only because I know most of them can't feel anything. Being the soulless husks that they are.
Velma is a perfect example on how to deliberately destroy a once-beloved classic cartoon run by simple-minded creators who care more about money and show no care by throwing a classic cartoon show into a trash and turn it into something incredibly cringy.
Velma is like watching a car wreak into a trian wreak while pulling a dumpster fire in slow motion
"A bit" is an understatement. This show is as entertaining as DSP is good at video games *snort*
At least he finishes them unlike game journos which is so fucking sad.
@@Violent_Wolfen its just another industry where even if they care about the product they care way way more about the money from it

Calling 'Velma' a bit of a train wreck is liking calling the Titanic "a bit damp". Gundam... your video made me weep copious tears of joy!
Calling Velam a bit of a train wreck is like taking an 8 incher up the ass
Or gundam "a bit cool"
I have an idea for a show called "Shaggy". It's about a straight white man who has a dog named Scooby, and who has moved away from his college friends who all dropped him for being a level headed normal person. It's about his adventures navigating this insane world as someone with common sense. Perhaps he smokes weed once in a while and thinks Scooby talks to him during his drug fueled hazes. Idk. Doesn't it sound better than this already though? I spent about 5 seconds on it.
I’d watch. Sounds far more real and intriguing than most shows today.
If Itsagundam was on a cartoon I would want it to be the Venture Brothers.
Something of quality?? ... D'yeeeah.
@Druid of Scosglen Him and Pickles were friends. I could see that.
I’m just thankful they were bold enough to go after a rich white straight guy. Powerful. Powerful stuff ❤
It's about time.
Stunning and brave!
The predictable fate of this show aside, I am happy that Papa Gundam is getting more attention from social media, even if it is to demonize him again.
Right? He's been making amazing content for years and he's getting the attention he deserves, pissing those people off.
Badge of honour.
"baka mitai" playing in the background was a nice touch, classy AF
I think that something people dont realize too is that just because a platform like hbo max or netflix advertises a show as number one on their platform, doesn't mean the show is actually getting views. Like they can legally completely make that slot up and not face any sort of repercussions.
Well, THEY SHOULD FACE REPERCUSSIONS!!!
"Those are all white people, daphne" is something i would never have thought velma would ever say in amy context
What’s even more amazing is that their are actually people who are surprised this show is a disaster. 😂

We should give them credit for finally showing Scrappy-do isn't the worst thing from the mystery team!
Scrappy doo finally gets the redemption arc he deserves, WOOO.
I’m calling it now: the only reference to Scooby (if they even do, given it’s obviously too childish to include a talking dog) is going to be a brutally murdered Great Dane with flies swarming it’s corpse while the characters apathetically “joke” at its expense. You know…the perfect metaphor for how this show treats the IP!
Edit: Apparently I may be wrong based on a new screenshot that surfaced…apparently Scooby is instead going to be a food critic named Scoobi that Norville dates to get over Velma…I can’t tell if what I initially thought is better or worse…
This Show is MEANT to be bad, so it generates Hateclicks.
They WANT Engagement, so stop engaging.
There's a rumor "Scoobi" is going to be a black girl Norville dates to get over Velma.
@@matane2465 When I heard that I was like "They're gonna totally kill her off, then Norville is going to get a dog and name him Scooby."

Fred will most likely beat it with a bat.
The 2 best Scooby Doo recreations were both on Robot Chicken. One had a rape ghost that enraged Velma because he violated everyone but her and the other saw Scooby Doo get decapitated by someone wearing a hockey mask and put his head on a pole.

Yea I grew up on the early loony toon cartoons it’s sad that even the modern version they had to tone down the violence 🤦♂️
This thing embodies the concept of something you loved as a child which is pure and innocent and then had someone shit on it and corrupt it into something it is not.
There old saying here evil can't not create it's can only corrupt what good creative and Velma is a example
Smashing work mate, as always you're out there taking one for the team so we don't have to:-)
So, while scrolling through a thought came to mind. You remember those animated Music videos for Mystery Skull songs that are full on Scooby Doo parodies/homages? Even those manage to do a better job at being a Scooby doo thing then Velma. Just a thought.
Let us take a moment to thank the Tolkien fandom for making all this possible.
Before this year, a fandom had never, unequivocally, biblically united in such a monumentally terrifying way that slapped down the lazy, cynical, "modern" bastardisation of a sacred work so horrifically that the studio had no idea what had just hit them. It was godlike.
Now, things as obscure as Willow, She-Hulk, and Scooby fucking Doo have fandoms that are galvanised and feel able to step up and say HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NO.
Take a moment lads and ladies. Tolkien fans paved the road. Walk it. Walk it often and as if you hate fucking concrete.
(Honourable mention to She-Ra and He-Man fans. You tried and like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dr Who fans before you, the tide hadn't quite turned far enough, but we see you. We know you stood strong before it was popular.)
I was there when they killed Star Wars. I tried. I really did. When Princess Leia turned into Mary Poppins I couldn't take it anymore. I haven't watched anything Star Wars related since that moment. I can't. I'm seriously not capable of doing it especially since there are literally dozens of Star Wars books they could have used.
Star Wars fans like me, appreciate the recognition, thanks.

At least Daria had a point when it came to calling out the BS of certain marketing and propaganda. She knows that the system is messed up, all the while still undergoing her teenage years of between figuring out herself while trolling various adults that want her to be similar to every other normal people she see's, even the stupid ones. Velma is like being reminded of a bad episode take of Rick and Morty, meets the people behind that awful Santa show Seth made, all the while taking a beloved IP and doing everything that screams Woke Checklist to please themselves as "creators" then to admit the truth that this creation is a utter flunk.
To Borrow the song line from Daria's theme opening to sum up Velma, "your standing on my neck."
You know, growing up i had a lot of friends who weren't allowed to have a real dog, the only dogs they were allowed were stuffed animals and cartoons on TV, like Scooby Doo.
So i want everyone to take a moment of silence in honor of all those children who had their *only* childhood dog taken away and executed like Old Yeller behind the barn by Mindy Kaling and HBO max.
No, thank the authors for not putting Scooby on this trash, he is spared! No bad version of Scooby!
@@sophiacristinaOh boy… I have bad news my friend… Scooby IS in the show, but he isn’t a dog, he is a HUMAN FEMALE who Norville falls in love with. Her name is now “Scoobi”. 💀

Have you noticed what Velma has in common with She-Hulk?? It's also set in a courtroom where nothing they say or do is lawfully applicable, except to show 'how easy men have it.'
It gets worse, for everyone wondering where Scooby was, apparently they are going to introduce Scoob as a girl who dates Norville aka "Shaggy!" Bruh

7:30 saying it’s just a bad show is not only facetious but it’s dismissive of the reason why it’s a bad show; because of the political views of the writers.
There's a girl named scoobi in the series, that's a rumors, saying she goes on a date with nordvile, if that's true, I'm gonna get my pitchforks ready
My guess for the ending of the show.
The murder victims were killed because they were gonna tell about Daphne selling drugs and so her parents killed them to keep them quiet and not lose their daughter. The parents go to jail and Daphne goes into Velmas embrace.
It was Fred all along.
