My favorite Scoobyless Scooby Doo show was the obscure "Scrappy & Yabba-Doo," which I don't think I've seen anyone cover on TH-cam. I doubt Scooby fans under 35 would know about it.
God I wish they had the balls to add Scrappy to Velma without adding Scooby. Edit: Well this aged... interestingly. Still not a good show, but props nonetheless.
They probably have the balls, but are they clever enough to think of it? I believe not having Scooby Doo was like their only guidline for season 1, so all the obscure family members should be fair game.
@@Flyboy1953 Funny thing, despite that Fred apparently repaired it, the Mystery Machine still has an official mechanic, whom we meet in the same episode. His name is Murph, and he seems to do pretty solid work.
The annoying thing about Velma to me is that it was that the producers and writers of the show obviously did not want to write a Scooby-Doo show and in the process wasted some very good horror animation on a show that didn't want to exist.
It didn't help that they didn't give their audience any credit whatsoever. So many of the jokes felt like the writers grabbing the audience by the collar, shaking really hand and screaming "DO YOU GET IT?"
@@davidhill2020they hate the audience just as much as they hate the source material. It's more like a show written by showrunnners for showrunnners/executives
@@hxr717 I think this is the inevitable result of the "Everything Must be in a Franchise" mentality. I can only imagine how much writers resent having to make everything fit in to a preexisting property and it shows in the works that are seething with contempt for the source, IDK if this team could have made a good original IP but maybe if they were not shackled to a property they CLEARLY didn't want to be working on they could have made SOMETHING interesting instead of wasting their energy on making something they resented working on, but instead so much of media is forced to constantly rehash decades old properties over and over and over because it is the only thing producers will green-light.
I have to disagree there. Matthew Lillard is great, but he's still doing an impression of Casey Kasem's Shaggy in the same way that Jack Nicholson's great, but he did an impression of Caesar Romero's Joker.
@@davidhill2020 To be fair, you'll find a lot of Shaggy's voice actors just try to do an impression of Casey Kasem's Shaggy. Lillard is the best at that cause his voice feels the most its own.
I didn't realize just how obscure Scooby-Dumb was. I had very vague memories of him, and my dad actually has pretty strong memories of him, to the point where he's begun referring to our harlequin great Dane as Scooby-Dumb. So to learn that he only appeared in 4 episodes of a pretty obscure Scooby iteration is kinda surprising to me.
@@ribbodile6225im pretty sure that is also pretty obscure. I mean i only remember seeing reruns of it once while i was growing up, and that was on boomerang for like i think a special marathon.
same here, i mean . . . i'm not even that old, i'm 27, and i hace CLEAR memories of whatching at least 3 out of those 4 chapters on boomerang (when it used to recicle old hannah barbera animations) and even in some scooby-doo specials in CN, i even remember HIM out of all characters in one of those publicity videos of early CN. and i know that my sister (who is also a huge fan) know the whole scooby familly rigth out of her head (including scooby-dee).
My personal favorite joke in the Scooby Doo Project is when Fred just snaps at Velma about her wanting to drive and Fred just goes "Maybe if YOU paid for gas money I'd let YOU DRIVE."
I think a good metric to judge a Scooby-Doo show/movie by is by how entertaining/defined Daphne is in that iteration, mostly because it's hard to be less interesting or dynamic than "Girl in Trouble"
Velmas network only has like 3- 4 animation series so it's not even like it necessarily has a lot of views. It's just comparatively to their other animation series which is normal since it's their most well known animation ip.
HBO also never showed any sort of statistics or anything like it to the public, so they can very easily lie about it like other media companies have done before when they don’t show anything to the public.
@@Griever49Well a lot of Scooby shows had been lasting for two seasons for a while. Mystery Incorporated, Be Cool, Guess Who, and hopefully that one. Still I really wish the two could have a third season.
I feel like Be Cool is the inverse to Velma. Bad art style but some of the best writing as a comedy. Velma has at least a pleasing art style but the writing is the most generic adult cartoon you can get. At least people are gradually appreciating it, along with Rise of the TMNT and Star Trek Underdeck for abandoning them and ignoring genuinely great cartoons that we constantly whining for.
man i think be cool is probably one of the funniest cartoons of the 2010s if not the funniest. but i think opinions are changing cause people are giving it a chance. finally.
I really did want Velma to be good- to prove everyone wrong and not to judge something before it come out but- It wasn’t good- They just made Velma so unlikable! I just felt bad for all the other characters :(
I judge all things before buying/seeing things...Especially when I know the history of the people making it or if they are trying to push certain things through said product/show. Especially when it comes to doing what they did to the characters and it showed in the writing of Velma. Though to be fair I hate most modern movies and shows so I tend not to watch a lot of modern things...Do to poor writing and/or acting.
I legitimately struggle to imagine, how exactly you were able to hold out any kind of hope for this show ^^ From the very first trailer snippet I saw, I could've told you - start to end - how exactly the show was going to play out.
Scrappy is only really brought up to say how much of a mistake he was but I’d say Scooby-Dum is more deserving of that. I guess after Mystery Inc people wanted or were expecting more of that and hate that Be Cool was more comedic, even though Scooby Doo was never really that serious of a franchise to begin with.
i like be cool but the reason it was so much more hated than it deserved was bc it came off the heels of mystery inc which was pretty much the opposite
Yeah no the other reply is right it was just the artstyle (for most people I've seen at least). I didn't watch Mystery Inc as it aired, so I didn't have that perspective, but I was just looking through Scooby shows one day online and saw Be Cool and thought "Wow this artstyle sucks I hate this" and never gave it a shot, but hearing about in this video, it actually sounds really good and I'm very tempted to check it out. I can't imagine there being anyone out there who would dislike the fact that a comedy franchise is comedic.
Be Cool Scooby Doo wasn't bad at all, the issue was that it came just after Mystery Inc. From a show focused on melodrama to one focused on comedy, it was a big 180 turn.
I didn't mind the 180 personally. I was just so used to scooby doo being like Be Cool because of What's new the only thing really bothering was the style but I got used to it. Mystery Inc still peak though.
I actually really did not like Mystery Inc bc it added a lot of lore that I just couldn't get behind. No shade to the fans, just not for me... But Be cool was just pure comedy fun. It never tried to be anything else and I really enjoyed it :) The art style never bothered me tbh
Pay attention and you'll see that if there's one thing Scooby Doo is good at, it's 180s. Once a show runs its course it's expected for the next iteration to go in another wildly different direction.
@gameb9oy I've tried watching it twice. The second time I made it through the first season before realising that I just wasn't having any fun with it. The worst part when it came to relationships, for me, was Velma. She got jealous over a fucking dog! That show made her plenty unlikeable even without Mindy Kaling.
I gotta say, Be Cool Scooby Doo is an utter Gem and deserved like another season or 2! AND it had its own over arcing story we don't find out until the season 2 finale!!! but I've grown up with scooby Doo and have seen almost every interaction (Haven't seen Velma but have seen all the others). The dog has been through a lot.
Watching Be Cool Scooby Doo with my little sister really changed my mindset on it. Thought it was going to be constant cringe, but I found myself laughing more than I thought.
Velma is so baffling to me that the show runners actually thought it was mature. I'm sure that they just used the Scooby-Doo IP just to make Mindy Kaling look good and failed miserably.
Velma really looks like all those really bad adult shows that came out a few years ago as family guy ripoffs, and I would argue that, by itself, it is not as bad as some of those, but the fact that it uses the Scooby-doo IP is what makes it go from bad to insulting
I think they saw how well Harley Quinn was doing and said, "that, but for Scooby Doo". It was an interesting idea to make it a prequel (which is why there's no Scooby Doo and Shaggy uses his real name) but it was poorly written.
Be Cool Scooby-Doo is easily among my top three favorite Scooby shows. The humor is laugh out loud funny. As for Velma, my main issue with it is the pop culture/meta humor was too on the nose and didn't allow for subtlety like a lot of the best episodes of Community had.
Or a running gag where he is well knowledge on drugs and chemicals but everyone thinks he's a Crack head hippie when in reality he just spends a lot of time with his Uncle Albert, who's a forensics cops in this timeline
Billiam: I'll try not to get distracted by Scooby-Doo so I can finally finish the Lost retrospective. Also Billiam: *immediately get distracted by Scooby-Doo*
I could totally see Norville from Velma working as a separate character from Shaggy. Maybe he starts out as an audience surrogate or someone who gets off on the wrong foot with Shaggy
Exactly which is why I like to call him Norman Nothing resembles Shaggy apart from green shirt and love for food but that's toned down compared to OG Shaggy.
Be cool Scooby Doo is unironically funny to me I'm ngl. Daphne was basically the most insane woman ever and all the gang had their own humorous parts of it. A pup named Scooby Doo is the one that I know the least about here but I can remember liking it when I was 5. And the Velma show can go to hell. There's my review of weird Scooby Doo stuff, hope y'all enjoyed (P.S, I haven't even watched the video, that's just my thoughts on these specific shows LMAO. Best Scooby Doo anything is Scooby Doo mystery incorporated)
I can definitely agree with your take on "Be Cool Scooby Doo". The show is worth checking out for Daphne alone - when she brought out the puppets, I had to pause, because I couldn't stop laughing ^^
Can’t wait for you to keep tackling these shows, movies and specials. I’d love to see you cover “Night of the Living Doo”, “Bravo Dooby Doo” and the uber-repetitive “Guess Who”.
My conspiracy theory about Velma: Scooby is absent and Shaggy goes with his birth name because the Shaggy&Scooby duo are a separate part of the IP (indeed they starred alone in quite a bunch of movies and TV-series) and the show didn't get the rights to use it. Norville has so little in common with Shaggy (just the green T-shirt) that can be considered an OC of this series.
The Velma cartoon was such a bad turn for the Scooby Doo franchise I hope the team behind SD have a plan or this could be the end of our favorite mystery solving dog.
@@arsenelupin9697 I was impressed with the crossover movie with Courage the Cowardly Dog and I am hoping to see more classic CN characters meet Mystery Inc, but they better not pull a stunt like Return to Zombie Island ever again.
The last time I watched the show was 10 years ago and I didn’t think that show was bad at all. But looking at these retrospective reviews, I’ve definitely understood a lot more why it wasn’t looked at well. And as someone who loved Johnny Test when I was young, It completely clicked when Billiam said it felt like a mix of that show + Phineas and Ferb. Also Scott Menville’s voice acting of Shaggy sounds way worse than I remembered it!
It isn't. It lacks one very key element that makes a Scooby-Doo show: Scooby-Doo! Seriously, the fact that WB refused to allow Scooby-Doo to be in the show, even though their reasoning was that it was adult oriented, hints at just how little faith the executives had in it. That lack of faith wasn't entirely misplaced, either as much of the first seasons "success" in terms of viewer numbers may have been due to people hate watching the show out of curiosity initially, then just to see if it improved, which it didn't.
Fun fact! The Hanna Barbara sound effects are used all the time, and it makes me feel like a crazy person every time I recognize one! I'll just be watching Adventure Time, hear a little boioioioingggg, and I'm like ah yes, I know this sound from Pajama Sam
The issue with Velma is less the things you mentioned people bringing up and more the really offensive in many ways, like insulting its own audience, and men, and any women who enjoy classically feminine things, etc.
Velma is just a bigot in general. She hates: Indians (Indian people have explained how she is anti Indian propaganda herself) White people period Italians Japanese people Mexicans Men Rich people Attractive women and girls Black people So basically anyone you can think of she hates or made some rude remarks about
Actually that was the point of the show, at least I think it is because insulting the core audience of your show constantly doesn't make any sense. The show was made to be hate watched by basically everyone and it succeed, a lot of people watched and a lot of content creators run to the easy "Velma is horrible" video, the show has a lot of cultural and political discussions from present day, but is so cynical and badly writen that both sides of these heated discussions all can agree that the show doesn't represent the values of either side. But I'm not defending Velma, I'm not that crazy, but seeing how the show is I can't believe that something like that was not writen with the intend to be the worst show imaninable.
@@CoracaoAcidental98 I dunno, the creator is the same woman who proudly bragged about sexually assaulting someone on a set and then threatening to fire people if anything came of it, all while smiling and laughing with the talk show host. I'm not sure she's especially connected to reality.
They animated the hell out of that Doo-Dum cousin greeting for their budget, so they were gonna repeat that whenever they had the excuse. Also, I'm probably one of the few people who loved Be Cool, Scooby-Doo, art style and all, because as much as a loved Mystery Inc having another show reset their dynamics to still fun but with minimal character drama was pretty nice. And the little tweaks to the characters while still maintaining their overall archetypes I also felt were done well. And I too am a Shaggy x Daphne shipper. There's dozens of us-DOZENS!
Tfw two TH-camrs that you're subbed to both do a Scooby-Doo video on Halloween. Seriously, I just finished watching PBG's reaction to the first live-action Scooby-Doo movie on his second channel, and as soon as it was over, the reccomended video that popped up on screen was this one! As a huge Scooby-Doo fan (so much so that I actually had a Scooby-Doo themed bedroom when I was little), I'm loving the Scooby representation from everyone this Halloween!
my headcanon has ALWAYS been that Shaggy owns the mystery machine, legally, its under his name, but Fred is just so emotionally attached to it and Shaggy isn't possessive (or confrontational) enough to push back on that
My head cannon was Shaggy was gifted this machine by one of his many reach relatives, but since he doesn't have right at the beginning of the show, he allow Fred to drive it.
Be cool Scooby-Doo was the only thing dumb enough to keep me laughing during the worst part of my childhood, when my parents were fighting about divorce and I still lived under them in the hoarder house. The show has my utmost appreciation.
We gotta find a way for this guy to talk about Scooby Doo again. He’s simply too good! Don’t know about my favorite weird iteration. What’s New & Pup will always be the most nostalgic to me. Best weird one would probably be the Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy movies like Ghoul School.
I still think my favorite is mystery incorporated. I’ve rewatched it a couple times and it still holds up. I like shows that are one off episodes, and it expanded the lore
As a big fan of Scooby Doo since childhood I enjoy this video. I remember whenever I got sick Scooby Doo would be playing on Cartoon Network so I've always had a fascination for this series. I've watched the original, What's New, Pup named Scooby Doo, a litlte bit of Mystery incorparated, the live action movies, the cgi movie, and most of the What's New Scooby Doo movies. I've been obsessed with this dog for so long that whenever I see him I get a smile on my face. Also Scrappy Doo is awesome and A Pup Named Scooby Doo is incredible. Good video Billiam as always!
I'm glad Be Cool. Scooby Doo is getting some love. I'm sad a lot of people rejected it just for not being Mystery Incorporated (and them shoving it onto Boomerang) but the show was really funny and I enjoyed the way the characters were presented. Plus its the first time we got the current voice of Velma and we even got a take of that version of Daphne in the "Happy Halloween, Scooby Doo", the movie that was done by the creator of Billy and Mandy.
velma had SO much potential it is still upsetting to me to this day. knowing how much the fandom loves mystery inc as a more mature scooby doo show - it would have been so much fun to see adult versions of the characters through a medium that could allow them to be more gory and get into what it really meant for them to be in constant danger hunting these monsters - and look deeper into their inner relationships and positions within the group
Headcannon: Scooby and Shaggy are actually incredibly rich due to their families and personal accomplishments (I think Shag is an olympic athlete, eating champion, food critic/cook, pilot, ect.) They act like goofballs cuz they never liked the glory and high life their pedigree and accomplishments earned them. The love their friends more than the fame and fortune. It's why despite being scared every mystery, they still go along with it. The fun they have with their friends always outweighs the absolute terror they experience every time. Ironically, a lot like Cars Mater.
I like the idea that they keep being left cursed estates from estranged relatives and have learned to just never touch that money because weird stuff happens whenever they do.
I put off Be Cool for SO LONG because of the animation and then proceeded to finish it in less than a week LOL I am not surprised you also enjoyed it because I favor 13 Ghosts as well and it is just really reminiscent of that with interpersonal plot due to committing to the bit mixed with a regular scooby doo formula. Shaggy/Daphne basically being a married couple is my favorite gang pairing too, it just works so well
Oh my God, I had a DVD of "Shaggy and Scooby Doo get a clue" where it had a lot of episodes of it, I watched it so much I'm so happy to know the name now. Nostalgia overload. Also don't remember the style of the show looking that different from other scooby shows at all, wild.
how was the Velma show even green lit like??? if you’re gonna make an adult Scooby Doo show….model it after what the 2002 movie was SUPPOSED to be before it was cut and changed to a PG rating.
Venture Bros. Also has two really good Scooby Doo episodes. Taking place in a world where all the old Johnny quest episodes were real, Venture Bros. Plays with the Scooby doo formula with the “Groovy Gang” a version of the Scooby gang where all the members of the Scooby gang are fictionalized versions of real criminals and serial killers from the 60s and 70s. For instance shaggy is Son of Sam and Scooby is the supposedly possessed talking dog that the real life killer claimed gave him instructions. Fred is now Ted Bundy, Daphne is Patty Hearst and Velma is Valerie Solanas, venture bros also plays with the idea of what would happen if the Scooby doo formula was injected into other shows, for instance a villain finds out the hard way what happens when you put on a rubber mask and attempt to scare a bodyguard that received combat training from what is essentially a cross between GI Joe and the CIA.
Velma is not a fuckimg scooby doo show its mindy kaling highjacking an ip to make herself feel good about her waning brand Like take mindy kaling out and itd be pretty solid for what its trying to be but she just drags it down
Scooby Doo is one of my favorites, most definitely. I was alive when they introduced Scrappy, though I was just very young. I never had a problem with Scrappy. He didn't annoy me, but he was also just.... Whatever in the show. He could stay or go would've made no difference to me.
Scrappy could get a bit annoying in '79-'82, but I never disliked him. He became more likeable in '83-'88. Sad what they did to him in the 2002 live-action film (and other small appearances and references here and there since). The Scooby-Doo Project probably did the "Scrappy bashing" gag the best; it was also in 1999, so before it became popular.
To be fair originally The Scooby Doo Show had 3 different names. The 1st season was The Scooby Doo Dynomutt Hour. Season 2 was part of the Laff A Lympics package show, and of course the last season was originally considered the 3rd season of Where Are You. In syndication it was renamed The Scooby Doo Show.
My favorite had to be the reruns of Ghoul School. Or whatever it was called, the one where Shaggy and Scooby were teachers for monsters kids or somethin? I think the villain was just like an eyeball? I'm just now realizing i remember very little about the show lol
The Scooby-Doo show is my favorite iteration of the franchise. I also really adore when it's just Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy. I don't care for the Scooby-Doo project because I can't stand when the gang are mean to one another. Check out the Behind the Scenes series where the gang has sit down interviews.
hands down the best thing to come from the “no gang” era of classic scooby doo was the ghoul school movie. that whole film had such an impact they referenced it in ok ko and got most of the og voice actresses to reprise their roles. rip russi taylor btw she was SUCH a real one
I would like to remind people that lots of people watching something doesn't equal lots of people "enjoying" something. Hate watching is a thing, lots of creators now have to watch all kinds of things they don't like to be relevant, and riffing on bad media is a long beloved pasttimes. A coworker hosted a watch party to marathon and trash talk Velma, and I've enjoyed riffing on other shows and films. I'm sure more people enjoyed it than they admit, but Velma was still universally panned by critics AND audiences. Movie studios have made this mistake themselves, dooming sequels to obscurity because they couldn't tell the difference between ticket sales and interest.
Your annual Scooby Doo videos are my comfort watch videos. I’ve seen each multiple times. I appreciate you, Billiam! I could watch hours of your Scooby Doo weird takes! Hours!
Great video as always, especially the Scooby-Doo Project section, but I also very much appreciate what you said about the necessity of real voice actors during the Velma section.
My personal favorite Scooby Doo series is Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo. As both a long time Scooby Doo fan and a “monster kid” it really gelled with me and now as an adult I get to be like “It’s got Vincent Price in it, hell yeah!”
I loved watching Shaggy & Scooby Doo get a clue! When they made copies of "Scooby Doo Where Are You" they used to add Get a clue on the disk as a special and I loved watching them!
I always felt that Get a Clue was more like Scooby Doo crossed with Venture Bros. than anything else. surface level, at least, the two series have got a fairly similar formula and a lot of analogous characters.
I love it when a creator/lead person on a project with kids sees one instance of just their kids feeling/thinking/saying they like or don't like this thing in a kid's thing. And then suddenly they take it as the golden truth. That all kids must feel this way as well. So we have to change it to that. xD
So bottom line, I would've hated Velma even if it's good because Mindy Kaling is a piece of shit, she openly admitted to assaulting one of her co-workers on the Mindy Show in a Conan interview but since it's a man being assaulted by a woman nobody cares. That being said, I still think it's bad because it really just flies in the face of what Scooby-Doo has always been, a group of friends from many different walks of life who came together as outcasts over a mutual love of solving mysteries, and the show didn't really feel like they were friends at any point, I mean in the first scene Velma shows up at school and hits a girl with a lead pipe!? What the heck?!? I'm not sure I've heard anyone who likes it, I mean it got lower scores than Dragonball Evolution, that movie was the lowest rated piece of media ever until Velma came out, people watched it yeah, but they hatewatched it, but views are views there is no such thing as bad publicity so its getting a second season and I'll pray it gets cancelled
It got a second season before it came out. It's actually a common practice that happens with TV shows. It happened with the last of us. I'm just pointing out the second season misconception.
It's actually pointed out multiple times the mystery machine is Fred's he just let shaggy scoob and scrappy use it for a couple years when they were on their own adventure
I, for one, just want the Ghoul School girls to come back. You never know you want something until they make a cameo in OK KO!, and you realize you have a monster-girl shaped hole in your heart. One that you've spent your entire adult life trying to fill. Also, let them acknowledge that Shaggy has racing-themed history with Dracula. Just bring back that whole era of failed pilot movie characters.
Billiam: season 2 might be good but i may get punished for holding my breathe. Just give us the hex girls movie. Velma season 2: look how they butchered our queens.

Matthew Lillard is the best shaggy of our day. I would go as far as to say Mathew Lillard is to Shaggy, as Mark Hamill is to Joker
So great to see Matthew as William Afton.

My personal favorite joke in the Scooby Doo Project is when Fred just snaps at Velma about her wanting to drive and Fred just goes "Maybe if YOU paid for gas money I'd let YOU DRIVE."
I think a good metric to judge a Scooby-Doo show/movie by is by how entertaining/defined Daphne is in that iteration, mostly because it's hard to be less interesting or dynamic than "Girl in Trouble"
The reason Velma has high views is because of how many people hate watched it. It is not highly rated or reviewed by anyone really
Velmas network only has like 3- 4 animation series so it's not even like it necessarily has a lot of views. It's just comparatively to their other animation series which is normal since it's their most well known animation ip.
Did you see Fiona and Cake? I that show was so fun!
HBO also never showed any sort of statistics or anything like it to the public, so they can very easily lie about it like other media companies have done before when they don’t show anything to the public.
that was the point of the show, it was made exclusively for hate watching. it was capitalizing off the culture war.
Be Cool Scooby-Doo is criminally underrated. It was hilarious and clever. The art style was different but the show was great!
the art style looks like an attempt at family guy and they should have seen coming that it would turn away a lot of people
@@Griever49Well a lot of Scooby shows had been lasting for two seasons for a while. Mystery Incorporated, Be Cool, Guess Who, and hopefully that one. Still I really wish the two could have a third season.
I feel like Be Cool is the inverse to Velma. Bad art style but some of the best writing as a comedy. Velma has at least a pleasing art style but the writing is the most generic adult cartoon you can get. At least people are gradually appreciating it, along with Rise of the TMNT and Star Trek Underdeck for abandoning them and ignoring genuinely great cartoons that we constantly whining for.
@@allendepacheco3419I thought I heard the second season got cancelled
man i think be cool is probably one of the funniest cartoons of the 2010s if not the funniest. but i think opinions are changing cause people are giving it a chance. finally.
Yes please give us that Hex Girls Movie! Haunted High Rise was going to be the name before they cancelled it.
I really did want Velma to be good- to prove everyone wrong and not to judge something before it come out but- It wasn’t good- They just made Velma so unlikable! I just felt bad for all the other characters :(
I judge all things before buying/seeing things...Especially when I know the history of the people making it or if they are trying to push certain things through said product/show.
Especially when it comes to doing what they did to the characters and it showed in the writing of Velma.
Though to be fair I hate most modern movies and shows so I tend not to watch a lot of modern things...Do to poor writing and/or acting.
I legitimately struggle to imagine, how exactly you were able to hold out any kind of hope for this show ^^
From the very first trailer snippet I saw, I could've told you - start to end - how exactly the show was going to play out.
@@gucciguy3408edgey
Same! I just wish it didn't seem so cynical.
Scrappy is only really brought up to say how much of a mistake he was but I’d say Scooby-Dum is more deserving of that. I guess after Mystery Inc people wanted or were expecting more of that and hate that Be Cool was more comedic, even though Scooby Doo was never really that serious of a franchise to begin with.
Scooby-Dum may have sucked, but you have to be remembered to be hated.
Scooby Dum was always my favorite as a kid though :( He's a sweet heart!
i like be cool but the reason it was so much more hated than it deserved was bc it came off the heels of mystery inc which was pretty much the opposite
I think the main reason was the art style
Yeah no the other reply is right it was just the artstyle (for most people I've seen at least). I didn't watch Mystery Inc as it aired, so I didn't have that perspective, but I was just looking through Scooby shows one day online and saw Be Cool and thought "Wow this artstyle sucks I hate this" and never gave it a shot, but hearing about in this video, it actually sounds really good and I'm very tempted to check it out. I can't imagine there being anyone out there who would dislike the fact that a comedy franchise is comedic.
Be Cool Scooby Doo wasn't bad at all, the issue was that it came just after Mystery Inc. From a show focused on melodrama to one focused on comedy, it was a big 180 turn.
I didn't mind the 180 personally. I was just so used to scooby doo being like Be Cool because of What's new the only thing really bothering was the style but I got used to it. Mystery Inc still peak though.
I actually really did not like Mystery Inc bc it added a lot of lore that I just couldn't get behind. No shade to the fans, just not for me...
But Be cool was just pure comedy fun. It never tried to be anything else and I really enjoyed it :)
The art style never bothered me tbh
@@ooppoop4522I do wonder if I should go back to mystery incorporated, but I just could not deal with the horny teen stuff that kept coming up.
Pay attention and you'll see that if there's one thing Scooby Doo is good at, it's 180s. Once a show runs its course it's expected for the next iteration to go in another wildly different direction.
@gameb9oy I've tried watching it twice. The second time I made it through the first season before realising that I just wasn't having any fun with it. The worst part when it came to relationships, for me, was Velma. She got jealous over a fucking dog! That show made her plenty unlikeable even without Mindy Kaling.
I gotta say, Be Cool Scooby Doo is an utter Gem and deserved like another season or 2! AND it had its own over arcing story we don't find out until the season 2 finale!!! but I've grown up with scooby Doo and have seen almost every interaction (Haven't seen Velma but have seen all the others). The dog has been through a lot.
Watching Be Cool Scooby Doo with my little sister really changed my mindset on it. Thought it was going to be constant cringe, but I found myself laughing more than I thought.
Velma is so baffling to me that the show runners actually thought it was mature. I'm sure that they just used the Scooby-Doo IP just to make Mindy Kaling look good and failed miserably.
Velma really looks like all those really bad adult shows that came out a few years ago as family guy ripoffs, and I would argue that, by itself, it is not as bad as some of those, but the fact that it uses the Scooby-doo IP is what makes it go from bad to insulting
It just did the opposite and made her reputation unsalvagble.
I don’t know why it would’ve been just made to make her look good. Was her reputation bad before or what
I think they saw how well Harley Quinn was doing and said, "that, but for Scooby Doo". It was an interesting idea to make it a prequel (which is why there's no Scooby Doo and Shaggy uses his real name) but it was poorly written.
Velmas d worst show ever.
Dude! That
"KNOCK IT OFF BLAKE!" was so fuckin RAW omg 😂😂
Perfect line delivery from Matthew Lillard
Shaggy is so good in that series. Possibly my favorite version of him.
Love Lillard in everything
Be Cool Scooby-Doo is easily among my top three favorite Scooby shows. The humor is laugh out loud funny. As for Velma, my main issue with it is the pop culture/meta humor was too on the nose and didn't allow for subtlety like a lot of the best episodes of Community had.
Or a running gag where he is well knowledge on drugs and chemicals but everyone thinks he's a Crack head hippie when in reality he just spends a lot of time with his Uncle Albert, who's a forensics cops in this timeline
Billiam: I'll try not to get distracted by Scooby-Doo so I can finally finish the Lost retrospective.
Also Billiam: *immediately get distracted by Scooby-Doo*
I could totally see Norville from Velma working as a separate character from Shaggy. Maybe he starts out as an audience surrogate or someone who gets off on the wrong foot with Shaggy
No he's very Shaggy coded, you can definitely see how his life turns before Mystery Inc is created. The only thing missing is binge eating.
Except he literally is Shaggy, Norville was always Shaggy’s real name canonically
i agree, i like the character but he is not shaggy
Exactly which is why I like to call him Norman
Nothing resembles Shaggy apart from green shirt and love for food but that's toned down compared to OG Shaggy.
Be cool Scooby Doo is unironically funny to me I'm ngl. Daphne was basically the most insane woman ever and all the gang had their own humorous parts of it. A pup named Scooby Doo is the one that I know the least about here but I can remember liking it when I was 5. And the Velma show can go to hell.
There's my review of weird Scooby Doo stuff, hope y'all enjoyed
(P.S, I haven't even watched the video, that's just my thoughts on these specific shows LMAO. Best Scooby Doo anything is Scooby Doo mystery incorporated)
I can definitely agree with your take on "Be Cool Scooby Doo".
The show is worth checking out for Daphne alone - when she brought out the puppets, I had to pause, because I couldn't stop laughing ^^
@arsenelupin9697 That puppet clip is what made me even check it out, and I was not disappointed
I absolutely loved "quirky" Daphne in Be Cool Scooby Doo.
True Daphne is so funny in be cool scooby doo..
& Ur ryt d show Velma can rot in hell
My favorate running gag in pup named Scooby-Doo is Fred always blaming red herring.
It ain’t Halloween until Billiam talks about Scooby Doo 😁👌
Scooby Dumb stole the show and my heart. Him being forgotten is a CRIME
Of all things I expected to hear in a Billiam video, the last thing was a comparison between Scrappy Doo and Jesus Christ. Thank you, Billiam.
Scooby Dumb is deceased. He was involved in a horrific accident involving Speed-Buggy.
I doubt that actually happened
noooooo :(
What?@@daviddiscodemon
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 no it did i was there
@@octoisgay How?
Can’t wait for you to keep tackling these shows, movies and specials. I’d love to see you cover “Night of the Living Doo”, “Bravo Dooby Doo” and the uber-repetitive “Guess Who”.
He already covered those last year
My conspiracy theory about Velma: Scooby is absent and Shaggy goes with his birth name because the Shaggy&Scooby duo are a separate part of the IP (indeed they starred alone in quite a bunch of movies and TV-series) and the show didn't get the rights to use it. Norville has so little in common with Shaggy (just the green T-shirt) that can be considered an OC of this series.
The Velma cartoon was such a bad turn for the Scooby Doo franchise I hope the team behind SD have a plan or this could be the end of our favorite mystery solving dog.
The recent movie was pretty horrendous as well.
I ain't holding my breath for something on the level of Zombie Island getting made again.
@@arsenelupin9697 I was impressed with the crossover movie with Courage the Cowardly Dog and I am hoping to see more classic CN characters meet Mystery Inc, but they better not pull a stunt like Return to Zombie Island ever again.
@@calebglasscock7392 Oh, I was merely talking about the mainstream one, which got released into cinemas.
I love Get a Clue. The art style actually appeals to me.
same.
It’s a PG Venture Bros and I love it
@@Numbuh24Insane Perfect description of it. No wonder why I loved the style of Venture Bros. so much.
The last time I watched the show was 10 years ago and I didn’t think that show was bad at all. But looking at these retrospective reviews, I’ve definitely understood a lot more why it wasn’t looked at well. And as someone who loved Johnny Test when I was young, It completely clicked when Billiam said it felt like a mix of that show + Phineas and Ferb.
Also Scott Menville’s voice acting of Shaggy sounds way worse than I remembered it!
I was looking for other Get a Clue fans. Thank you. My favorite Scooby-Doo series :)
Thank you Billiam for describing Be Cool Scooby Doo, they way you talk about it is the reason why I find this version so funny
“Daphine stop it’s just scrappy doo”
I KNOW, I KNOW 😭🤣
Scooby-Doo is pretty much Billiams white whale at this point, and I am VERY MUCH here for it
Moby-Doo.
13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo was always my favorite
I refuse to call Velma a Scooby Doo show.
Saaaaaaaame
Same here.
It ain't a Scooby show, if it ain't got the Doo!
It isn't. It lacks one very key element that makes a Scooby-Doo show: Scooby-Doo! Seriously, the fact that WB refused to allow Scooby-Doo to be in the show, even though their reasoning was that it was adult oriented, hints at just how little faith the executives had in it. That lack of faith wasn't entirely misplaced, either as much of the first seasons "success" in terms of viewer numbers may have been due to people hate watching the show out of curiosity initially, then just to see if it improved, which it didn't.
My main SD focus are. Scooby Doo where are you... The Scooby Doo show. And what's new Scooby Doo
Fun fact! The Hanna Barbara sound effects are used all the time, and it makes me feel like a crazy person every time I recognize one!
I'll just be watching Adventure Time, hear a little boioioioingggg, and I'm like ah yes, I know this sound from Pajama Sam
Growing up on the Sci-Fi adjacent Hanna Barbara shows like Jonny Quest and The Jetsons, I can spot a UFO sound from a mile away
Who’s going to tell Billiam about the Swedish version of the Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue intro?
The issue with Velma is less the things you mentioned people bringing up and more the really offensive in many ways, like insulting its own audience, and men, and any women who enjoy classically feminine things, etc.
Also women who don't like feminine things. Like seriously it's made for literally no one
Yeah, how you gonna make your first trailer just shit on your target audience, and then expect them to want to watch it.
Velma is just a bigot in general. She hates:
Indians (Indian people have explained how she is anti Indian propaganda herself)
White people period
Italians
Japanese people
Mexicans
Men
Rich people
Attractive women and girls
Black people
So basically anyone you can think of she hates or made some rude remarks about
Actually that was the point of the show, at least I think it is because insulting the core audience of your show constantly doesn't make any sense. The show was made to be hate watched by basically everyone and it succeed, a lot of people watched and a lot of content creators run to the easy "Velma is horrible" video, the show has a lot of cultural and political discussions from present day, but is so cynical and badly writen that both sides of these heated discussions all can agree that the show doesn't represent the values of either side.
But I'm not defending Velma, I'm not that crazy, but seeing how the show is I can't believe that something like that was not writen with the intend to be the worst show imaninable.
@@CoracaoAcidental98 I dunno, the creator is the same woman who proudly bragged about sexually assaulting someone on a set and then threatening to fire people if anything came of it, all while smiling and laughing with the talk show host.
I'm not sure she's especially connected to reality.
according to the canon lore Be Cool is in the same universe as A Pup Named Scooby Doo, just years later, which explains a lot
They animated the hell out of that Doo-Dum cousin greeting for their budget, so they were gonna repeat that whenever they had the excuse.
Also, I'm probably one of the few people who loved Be Cool, Scooby-Doo, art style and all, because as much as a loved Mystery Inc having another show reset their dynamics to still fun but with minimal character drama was pretty nice. And the little tweaks to the characters while still maintaining their overall archetypes I also felt were done well.
And I too am a Shaggy x Daphne shipper. There's dozens of us-DOZENS!
Hell yeah
Tfw two TH-camrs that you're subbed to both do a Scooby-Doo video on Halloween. Seriously, I just finished watching PBG's reaction to the first live-action Scooby-Doo movie on his second channel, and as soon as it was over, the reccomended video that popped up on screen was this one! As a huge Scooby-Doo fan (so much so that I actually had a Scooby-Doo themed bedroom when I was little), I'm loving the Scooby representation from everyone this Halloween!
The way he violently said "Knock it off Blake" took me by surprise so hard I had to pause from laughing too hard.
my headcanon has ALWAYS been that Shaggy owns the mystery machine, legally, its under his name, but Fred is just so emotionally attached to it and Shaggy isn't possessive (or confrontational) enough to push back on that
@@Flyboy1953....are you under the impression that women couldn't drive legally in 1969? 😂
My head cannon was Shaggy was gifted this machine by one of his many reach relatives, but since he doesn't have right at the beginning of the show, he allow Fred to drive it.
Be cool Scooby-Doo was the only thing dumb enough to keep me laughing during the worst part of my childhood, when my parents were fighting about divorce and I still lived under them in the hoarder house. The show has my utmost appreciation.
Your shaggy impression is a solid 8/10
Edit: I can do a Shaggy, but I think I'm gonna stop after that.
We gotta find a way for this guy to talk about Scooby Doo again. He’s simply too good!
Don’t know about my favorite weird iteration. What’s New & Pup will always be the most nostalgic to me. Best weird one would probably be the Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy movies like Ghoul School.
I still think my favorite is mystery incorporated. I’ve rewatched it a couple times and it still holds up. I like shows that are one off episodes, and it expanded the lore
Mystery Inc and What's New were my favorite shows. Honorable mention goes to the chill out, goblin king, Phantosaur, and Abra-Cadabra-Doo movies.
Mystery Inc and What's new
As a big fan of Scooby Doo since childhood I enjoy this video. I remember whenever I got sick Scooby Doo would be playing on Cartoon Network so I've always had a fascination for this series. I've watched the original, What's New, Pup named Scooby Doo, a litlte bit of Mystery incorparated, the live action movies, the cgi movie, and most of the What's New Scooby Doo movies. I've been obsessed with this dog for so long that whenever I see him I get a smile on my face. Also Scrappy Doo is awesome and A Pup Named Scooby Doo is incredible. Good video Billiam as always!
I'm glad Be Cool. Scooby Doo is getting some love. I'm sad a lot of people rejected it just for not being Mystery Incorporated (and them shoving it onto Boomerang) but the show was really funny and I enjoyed the way the characters were presented. Plus its the first time we got the current voice of Velma and we even got a take of that version of Daphne in the "Happy Halloween, Scooby Doo", the movie that was done by the creator of Billy and Mandy.
It wasn't rejects for not being a different show. It was rejected for looking like Family Guy.
@@grabble7605but even looking like family guy it looked like a family guy cutaway
We were far to harsh on be cool
I'm so grateful you covered Scooby Dumb, because for a long time I felt like I was being gaslit whenever I tried to tell people about him.
velma had SO much potential it is still upsetting to me to this day. knowing how much the fandom loves mystery inc as a more mature scooby doo show - it would have been so much fun to see adult versions of the characters through a medium that could allow them to be more gory and get into what it really meant for them to be in constant danger hunting these monsters - and look deeper into their inner relationships and positions within the group
Headcannon: Scooby and Shaggy are actually incredibly rich due to their families and personal accomplishments (I think Shag is an olympic athlete, eating champion, food critic/cook, pilot, ect.) They act like goofballs cuz they never liked the glory and high life their pedigree and accomplishments earned them. The love their friends more than the fame and fortune. It's why despite being scared every mystery, they still go along with it. The fun they have with their friends always outweighs the absolute terror they experience every time.
Ironically, a lot like Cars Mater.
I like the idea that they keep being left cursed estates from estranged relatives and have learned to just never touch that money because weird stuff happens whenever they do.
I thought "Reluctant Werewolf" was pretty weird
Guy gets turned into a werewolf by (checks notes) two hunchbacks and a vampire.
The supernatural crossover episodes really cemented my love for both franchises.
I put off Be Cool for SO LONG because of the animation and then proceeded to finish it in less than a week LOL I am not surprised you also enjoyed it because I favor 13 Ghosts as well and it is just really reminiscent of that with interpersonal plot due to committing to the bit mixed with a regular scooby doo formula. Shaggy/Daphne basically being a married couple is my favorite gang pairing too, it just works so well
Oh my God, I had a DVD of "Shaggy and Scooby Doo get a clue" where it had a lot of episodes of it, I watched it so much I'm so happy to know the name now. Nostalgia overload. Also don't remember the style of the show looking that different from other scooby shows at all, wild.
same. though many are lost or scratched now, i can still enjoy the marmosets.
My brother also used to have it
God dangit. I was expecting to see Charlie attempting to drown someone again not Velma attempt to be likeable.
how was the Velma show even green lit like??? if you’re gonna make an adult Scooby Doo show….model it after what the 2002 movie was SUPPOSED to be before it was cut and changed to a PG rating.
Daphne in Be Cool Scooby Doo cracked me up. Made the show for me.
Venture Bros. Also has two really good Scooby Doo episodes. Taking place in a world where all the old Johnny quest episodes were real, Venture Bros. Plays with the Scooby doo formula with the “Groovy Gang” a version of the Scooby gang where all the members of the Scooby gang are fictionalized versions of real criminals and serial killers from the 60s and 70s. For instance shaggy is Son of Sam and Scooby is the supposedly possessed talking dog that the real life killer claimed gave him instructions. Fred is now Ted Bundy, Daphne is Patty Hearst and Velma is Valerie Solanas, venture bros also plays with the idea of what would happen if the Scooby doo formula was injected into other shows, for instance a villain finds out the hard way what happens when you put on a rubber mask and attempt to scare a bodyguard that received combat training from what is essentially a cross between GI Joe and the CIA.
Shaggy Scooby Doo get a clue always felt like Venture Bro's combined with Scooby Doo.
Velma is not a fuckimg scooby doo show its mindy kaling highjacking an ip to make herself feel good about her waning brand
Like take mindy kaling out and itd be pretty solid for what its trying to be but she just drags it down
Be Cool Scooby Doo is incredibly underrated. Thank you for giving that hilarious freaking show some love.
Scooby Doo is one of my favorites, most definitely. I was alive when they introduced Scrappy, though I was just very young. I never had a problem with Scrappy. He didn't annoy me, but he was also just.... Whatever in the show. He could stay or go would've made no difference to me.
Scrappy could get a bit annoying in '79-'82, but I never disliked him. He became more likeable in '83-'88. Sad what they did to him in the 2002 live-action film (and other small appearances and references here and there since). The Scooby-Doo Project probably did the "Scrappy bashing" gag the best; it was also in 1999, so before it became popular.
To be fair originally The Scooby Doo Show had 3 different names. The 1st season was The Scooby Doo Dynomutt Hour. Season 2 was part of the Laff A Lympics package show, and of course the last season was originally considered the 3rd season of Where Are You. In syndication it was renamed The Scooby Doo Show.
I really like the art style and designs in Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue it's so appealing
"knock it off Blake" got me rolling and possibly committed to watching that show.
My favorite had to be the reruns of Ghoul School. Or whatever it was called, the one where Shaggy and Scooby were teachers for monsters kids or somethin? I think the villain was just like an eyeball? I'm just now realizing i remember very little about the show lol
I'll tell my kids I was there to see Scooby Dumb inspire a generation of children
19:20 It also had a great cast of Frank Welker (of course), Grey Griffin, Matthew Lillard and Kate Micucci. Top notch acting and writing.
The Scooby-Doo show is my favorite iteration of the franchise. I also really adore when it's just Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy. I don't care for the Scooby-Doo project because I can't stand when the gang are mean to one another. Check out the Behind the Scenes series where the gang has sit down interviews.
hands down the best thing to come from the “no gang” era of classic scooby doo was the ghoul school movie. that whole film had such an impact they referenced it in ok ko and got most of the og voice actresses to reprise their roles. rip russi taylor btw she was SUCH a real one
I would like to remind people that lots of people watching something doesn't equal lots of people "enjoying" something. Hate watching is a thing, lots of creators now have to watch all kinds of things they don't like to be relevant, and riffing on bad media is a long beloved pasttimes. A coworker hosted a watch party to marathon and trash talk Velma, and I've enjoyed riffing on other shows and films. I'm sure more people enjoyed it than they admit, but Velma was still universally panned by critics AND audiences. Movie studios have made this mistake themselves, dooming sequels to obscurity because they couldn't tell the difference between ticket sales and interest.
“Get a clue” is a guilty pleasure of mine. Saw almost the whole thing
Your annual Scooby Doo videos are my comfort watch videos. I’ve seen each multiple times. I appreciate you, Billiam! I could watch hours of your Scooby Doo weird takes! Hours!
*"PUPPY POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"*
- Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Great video as always, especially the Scooby-Doo Project section, but I also very much appreciate what you said about the necessity of real voice actors during the Velma section.
My personal favorite Scooby Doo series is Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo. As both a long time Scooby Doo fan and a “monster kid” it really gelled with me and now as an adult I get to be like “It’s got Vincent Price in it, hell yeah!”
I loved watching Shaggy & Scooby Doo get a clue! When they made copies of "Scooby Doo Where Are You" they used to add Get a clue on the disk as a special and I loved watching them!
I always felt that Get a Clue was more like Scooby Doo crossed with Venture Bros. than anything else. surface level, at least, the two series have got a fairly similar formula and a lot of analogous characters.
Same here.
There are two characters who are just henchman 21 and 24 but child friendly
Calling Velma adult humor is like calling Harold and Kumar intelligent humor. At best it's juvenile.
You forgot A Pup Named Scooby Doo! My favorite that I think aired on Boomerang in the early 2000s
I love it when a creator/lead person on a project with kids sees one instance of just their kids feeling/thinking/saying they like or don't like this thing in a kid's thing. And then suddenly they take it as the golden truth. That all kids must feel this way as well. So we have to change it to that. xD
Under 1 hour? I'll wait for the 2nd video to make this Scooby-Doo review to be a feature film documentary.
Always loved Jeff Bennett's performance in Get A Clue! its shame that he does not do much work as he used too.
Ngl, i never saw the appeal of Shaggy and Daphne until i started watching Billiam, so thanks for that. Now all my friends think I'm crazy 😂
I love your Scooby videos so much, I often re-watch them when I want something familiar on. They're so funny and great. ❤
So bottom line, I would've hated Velma even if it's good because Mindy Kaling is a piece of shit, she openly admitted to assaulting one of her co-workers on the Mindy Show in a Conan interview but since it's a man being assaulted by a woman nobody cares.
That being said, I still think it's bad because it really just flies in the face of what Scooby-Doo has always been, a group of friends from many different walks of life who came together as outcasts over a mutual love of solving mysteries, and the show didn't really feel like they were friends at any point, I mean in the first scene Velma shows up at school and hits a girl with a lead pipe!? What the heck?!?
I'm not sure I've heard anyone who likes it, I mean it got lower scores than Dragonball Evolution, that movie was the lowest rated piece of media ever until Velma came out, people watched it yeah, but they hatewatched it, but views are views there is no such thing as bad publicity so its getting a second season and I'll pray it gets cancelled
It got a second season before it came out. It's actually a common practice that happens with TV shows. It happened with the last of us. I'm just pointing out the second season misconception.
It's actually pointed out multiple times the mystery machine is Fred's he just let shaggy scoob and scrappy use it for a couple years when they were on their own adventure
Your Scooby stuff is how I first found you, and is always a favorite. Happy Halloween!
I, for one, just want the Ghoul School girls to come back. You never know you want something until they make a cameo in OK KO!, and you realize you have a monster-girl shaped hole in your heart. One that you've spent your entire adult life trying to fill.
Also, let them acknowledge that Shaggy has racing-themed history with Dracula. Just bring back that whole era of failed pilot movie characters.
we were expecting lost but we got scooby doo’d
You were expecting lost?
Billiam said in the last Lost video there'd be one Scooby-Doo video and then the last Lost video
y’all i just wanted to make the scooby doo’d reference.
Sounds like you losened your way on this one
@@MrJacketslosened in the shag-auce
I remember really enjoying Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue back in the day, but I also haven't watched it since it was live, so who knows
Billiam: season 2 might be good but i may get punished for holding my breathe. Just give us the hex girls movie.
Velma season 2: look how they butchered our queens.
At least they made scrappy Doo loved again
ive waited for this episode for a while i always rewatch your videos to get in the mood to watch certain shows and i cherish the scooby doo ones always thank you!
