Fact: Shirley is a chihuahua based on a dog who belonged to the creator of the shows, aunt. Shirley the medium portrayed the chihuahuas personality and how they are crafty but also wants to be spoiled and just wanted attention. Shirley the chi was my favorite character in this series!
Courage has friendly relationships with Shirley, Big Foot, the Duck Brothers, the Hunchback, Charlie the Mouse, Robot Randy, Computer, Dr. Vindaloo and Kitty/Bunny.
@@mutantratz9225agreed. It was kind of a bummer that he is one of the few recurring allies of courage. It would have been nice to see an episode where courage had one or a few of his allies take down an enemy together. Kinda like Ball of Revenge but reversed.
Considering Shirley has pretty powerful magic, I'm sure Courage somehow got help from her off-screen to break The Great Fusilli's spell that turned Muriel & Eustace into puppets.
@@FilmmakeroftheFutureThat's a way better than just Courage imagining the rest of the events of Season 2. Maybe Courage got help from both Shirley and The Computer to reverse the curse.
“The stupid one. He is stupid yes?” It is nice when she pulls out her saxophone. It is also interesting seeing the relationship and interactions between her and Courage. It being mutual and they understand each other, gibberish included, and under good terms. XD
I like to think that the only reason Shirley learned how to do magic and curses its for self defense. Because of her small size and poor life style, she knew that people would try to take advantage of that. We never really see her use her magic for ill intent or anything like that, only when people have it coming.
@@DemonicAdj Considering all of the baddies and supernatural mess that he and his family have to go through on a regular basis, it may've also been money he'd gotten from people who were at their house.
She might have been the antagonist in some episodes but I always felt comforted whenever she was on screen. She's often altruistic and reasonable in this mad show.
I love how Shirley doles out curses left and right, but she always tells Courage how to reverse them and even removes them herself when she sees others have learned their lesson i.e. 7:30. She’s vengeful but fair.
6:14 “What?! This is not oil well; this is oil bill! I have been swindled!” Me: “Well, excuse me for saying so, but if he was too cheap to give you a simple $5, why would he instead give you a deed to an oil well?”
Maybe Courage has some Romani blood 🩸 within. It would make sense why he connects well with Shirley and dr Vindaloo. As well as the computer. Because these people connect to India 🇮🇳.
Looking back on this show, I realized how Skips served a similar role in Regular show. I’m surprised now one made a crossover with that show, with Skips asking Shirley to help Mordecai and Rigby.
Eustace: Hey! That's mine. Shirley: Licensing fee. Eustace: (Cries) Gotta love how even though he's selfish, money grubbing, and rude, he still respects a business transaction.
I think Shirley is the best allied courage could ever ask for, even tho she only do it for a "small" fee if something too mysterious for him to handle. Beside the A.I computer
having her as a love interest for Courage would had been a neat dynamic. i still can't believe how well they did that show. Would be nice to see a reboot where Eustis actually makes attempts to farm, it can be part educational, comedy, and each episode follow after events from the last.
Shirley was one of the very best characters in the show. And I deeply wish she had much more roles. As well as a part in the Courage/Scooby Doo crossover.
As a kid I shipped Courage and Shirley. I was too young to really understand, but he was a boy dog and she was a girl dog. That’s about as deep as my thinking was.
Same! I was about to post my own comment on this, but since I saw yours, I'm just going to comment under it. I had the exact same thoughts about them. Now that I'm older, I know that Shirley would be more like an aunt to Courage.
This is one of the most impressive children's shows I've ever seen, and if I ever have children this is on the list without a doubt, I was genuinely excited to see this show at the same time on tv every day, sure people joke about its creepiness but in reality it was just genuinely satisfying to watch I think it says a lot about what shows should be as well, modern children's shows are just energetic and random without any kind of deeper thoughts or creative artwork Infact most modern cartoons are just a bunch of small characters with big eyes now, without any other purpose other than consistently profitable and reproduceable without much risk (I mean the computer in courage just insults him every time, and he gets abused by one of his owners lmao, that kind of toon humor just doesn't fly like it used to, I believe the next generation of parents will be more relaxed on censorship though, I think censorship was evolved by people who grew up before the "digital age", Just a bit of a rant, maybe people agree, we should bring back the focus to art, story, and design, and stop giving attention to the mills
I love how at 10:03 Shirley doesn't question how the hell Courage shat out a actual 14 karat gold egg and asks if he could have made a bigger one 😂 love that little Chihuahua

I'm a firm believer that Shirley and Courage actually hang out in between episodes and talk shit about Eustace.
Now that is sweet, I like that idea since they both agree Eustace is a jackass. I don't know why Muriel marry him or what does she see in the guy
@@ishikawagoemon4397no idea neither
Same I like to believe they are besties it makes sense as they are both dogs
You know what??? Yes, I definitely see this and Shirley is like Courage's outlet.

Shirley is the only one in this show to seriously call Eustace out on his crap and I love it.
i thought his mom did too
"The stupid one, yes?"
Agreed!
Plus she seems to understand Courage
@@carmensandiego328I think it's because she's also a dog (chihuahua)
@@TheArtgorithmStudio good point too.
I don’t get why Courage doesn’t use his words when he speaks like Shirley does.
Always liked how she wasn't totally heartless. So long as you do right by her, she'll do right by you...for the most part.
Awww, you had the perfect set up to say....for a fee.
But yes, that's why she's one of my favorite characters.
Her services weren’t free but you got what you paid for with Shirley.
The only time she is even the antagonist is cause eustace ripped her off.
And unless you payed a fee.
Honestly she played the good supporting character really well.
Always Liked How She Wasn't Totally Heartless. So Long As You

Shirley's a chihuahua? Damn, I thought she was a cat
I always thought she was a jackal for some reason 😅
I thought she was a fox!
Owning a Chihuahua. The moment I saw Shirley, I knew immediately she was a Chihuahua. It’s the headshape hat gave t away to me
I honestly thought she was a bat for many years!
Courage doesn’t have many allies (if any) but out all of them Shirley is the most useful imo
Courage has friendly relationships with Shirley, Big Foot, the Duck Brothers, the Hunchback, Charlie the Mouse, Robot Randy, Computer, Dr. Vindaloo and Kitty/Bunny.
I don't know, I think the computer helped him a lot more than Shirley did.
Don’t forget Mr Mouse
“No prob.”

It wouldn’t surprise me a bit.
@@FilmmakeroftheFutureThat's a way better than just Courage imagining the rest of the events of Season 2. Maybe Courage got help from both Shirley and The Computer to reverse the curse.
0:53 I like how Shirley is perfectly listening to Courage’s babbling.
Maybe it's because she's a dog too
I don’t know why, back then I assumed she was just a bat but no actually she looks like a Chihuahua
"The stupid one he opened the box yes?" Home girl knew what was up 😂
@@monkeycat48That's what *I* was thinking!
@@Ghost-fv6lw yes
1:50-2:10 Even though it was a gold tooth I noticed symbolically that Courage was willing to go through pain give everything to help someone out.
Really shows under all that fear, courage is a good dog
Don't forget in the Magical Tree of Nowhere, he endured hornet stings to make the cure for Muriel. HORNETS!
@@NoWayJose24 As Courage always says, Things he does for love
@@DemaadAnd that's why he's named Courage.
"The stupid one, is stupid? Yes?"
"Uh-huh"
No argument there
Yes.
He’s stupid.. right?
My favorite line from Shirley 😂
“The stupid one. He is stupid yes?” It is nice when she pulls out her saxophone. It is also interesting seeing the relationship and interactions between her and Courage. It being mutual and they understand each other, gibberish included, and under good terms. XD
I wish I can play the saxophone 🎷 so I can curse on those who hurt me
@@gemstoneprincess2890..use the fire duster.
The fact Courage didn’t even hesitate to pull out his gold tooth and give it to Shirley as an act of kindness..
@@martinmarkov9707 what
Next to Muriel and Bunny she's my absolute favorite female character in the series so mysterious powerful she's a really cool witchy character
7:25 Aww, Shirley undoing the Curse seeing them the way they are brings tears to my eyes, the music as well😭
Me too
“Swindling begets only swindling just as selfishness begets banana heads.”
That line makes me laugh every time just because of how silly it is.
It's kind of shitty she cursed Muriel too even though it was all Eustace's fault. But he still gets his comeuppance
@@Sheenifier She needed to say something to rhyme with life though.
@@Sheenifier
I think Shirley kind of represents the consequences of being too self centered
Shirley’s right about the swindling though, it will come back to bite you
*Shirley:* ^Asks for something^
*Courage:* ^Rips out ONE OF HIS FUCKING TEETH and gives it to her no questions asked^
One time he llayed a small golden egg out of nowhere he made by himself.
@@guardianm4browning111 My point was more that he's so overly generous, he will literally remove a body part to present as a gift.
It was golden.
Gotta help a fellow dog
Shirley has no problem with Courage and Muriel. Its just Eustace arrogance and stubbornness that causes her to respond likewise
I like to think that the only reason Shirley learned how to do magic and curses its for self defense. Because of her small size and poor life style, she knew that people would try to take advantage of that. We never really see her use her magic for ill intent or anything like that, only when people have it coming.
I think Shirley is the ONLY one who Courage isn't scared of, don't you?
I notice that too! Maybe it's because she's a dog to and he can relate to her in a way?
What about the hunchback?
@@chris1995-l8w oh true!
@@chris1995-l8wthat guy is Courage’s friend and so is Shirley too
Also the shadow and the bunny
I remember Courage giving Shirley a big piece of silver and thinking, "Dang, how much allowance does Muriel give you?"
Toonforce hammerspace
I don't think it's that much, remember the episode where he doesn't have enough cash to the librarian?
He might have dug it up. Lots of weird stuff turns up in Nowhere.
@@DemonicAdj Considering all of the baddies and supernatural mess that he and his family have to go through on a regular basis, it may've also been money he'd gotten from people who were at their house.
He can lay 14 karat gold eggs. I guess that'll be a good explanation.
Shirley doesn't take no shit from Eustace no matter how he treats her and she's a pretty cool anti-heroine.
Clearly she didn't like Eustace.
@@brentdye1504 who does
"Im afraid no magic can fix this.....go digital" -Shirley
That's internet
This line aged so well 😂
Her sass is the reason why she's my favorite character in the show. If only she and Courage had more episodes working together.
She might have been the antagonist in some episodes but I always felt comforted whenever she was on screen. She's often altruistic and reasonable in this mad show.
I kinda felt like she was an anti-hero. Kinda there sometimes helping Courage other times antagonizes Eustace lol.
@@pantherman8719 Shirley definitely has her own goals but she's not evil, she's not gonna hurt an innocent person for no reason. That's what I think.
@@lloydau3610 i agree
@@lloydau3610she only wants to teach the mean and selfish a lesson. I actually based a kind human Gypsy character off her
She was never an antagonist....always an anti-hero
Shirley is like the therapist we all wanted but never got.
I love how Shirley doles out curses left and right, but she always tells Courage how to reverse them and even removes them herself when she sees others have learned their lesson i.e. 7:30. She’s vengeful but fair.
Very underrated character
I usually think fortune tellers are scammers as people can't tell the future even if they tried
Who else wants a prequel spin off that shows the origins of Shirley
She deserves one
And we wonder who thinks we need these unnecessary spin-offs!
I Do! If She Does Get A Spin Off Series,The Show Should Be Called:Shirley The Medium Chihuahua.
"Go digital"
I fucking love this cartoon 😂
Pyshic 🔮 Chihuahua 🐕 Can Play The Saxophone 🎷
She's a taco bell dog
Actually Shirley looks like a Chihuahua😮😮😂
She is one.
I call her a pretty gypsy dog lol
It makes sense that Courage would help Shirley in her time of need due to how she’s helped him in the past.
Shirley is a true chaotic neutral, preventing just about as much havoc as she causes
I love her she's adorable, her magic basically makes her walking karma.
5:13 Shirley gives her stance on GameStop
How romantic when those teenagers are still in love in their uncursed.

I always loved the way Shirley refers to Eustace as "The Stupid One." Like, he's earned a special title of her disrespect.
6:14
“What?! This is not oil well; this is oil bill! I have been swindled!”
Me: “Well, excuse me for saying so, but if he was too cheap to give you a simple $5, why would he instead give you a deed to an oil well?”
Eustace! Don't swindling Shirley!
She was not tolerate for this!
If I was Eustace I would give the damn 5 dollars
Besides Courage, Shirley will always be one of my favorite characters in this show🔮
Shirley was one my most favorite reccuring characters from this show along with Charlie the Mouse and Katz.
And le quack
"You HAD to open the box" One of my absolute favorite lines in this show🤣
I'll be honest. I only came here because Shirley's sax solos have lived in my head rent free for years.
Same lol 😂
My favorite one being:
"The stupid one. He's stupid, right?" It like another day for her dealing with idiots
Yep
I love how she casts a curse using a Saxophone 😂😂😂
"The Stupid One. He's stupid, right?"
In Animal Crossing, I love reading Katrina's dialog in Shirley's voice.
Shirley is my favorite Courage The Cowardly Dog character beside Eustace
Mary Testa (Voice of Shirley the Medium) is very talented
What else has she done?
Casting curses with a saxophone is the weirdest and funniest way to cast a curse 😂 🎷
I love courage speaks noises and they can understand him 😂
She's a dog to.
Well shes a dog like him
3:13 My reaction to some people.
My favorite line from her lol
And unfortunately, Eustace bagge is one of those people
I love shirley!!! She was straight up
Shirley could play a mean sax. Always loved this character.
When I was younger my head canon was that Shirly was courage’s long lost mother 😂
Or his cool aunt who helps him every now and then.
