@RiotDemon That cartoon jumped the shark when they added that bit of awfulness. So many cartoons I loved as a kid went down the crapper by adding smart aleck characters.
@mfladd@KittySprinkles I think she was on that show Botched. Almost as bad as the lady who got silicone caulking and cement injections at someone’s house.
My teen son is tall, bean poll thin, eats like 3 horses, has a dog (black lab-mutt from shelter) who is afraid of everything, and when he doesn’t shave gets mostly a little thatch on his chin (plus a couple patches on his checks). So we call him Shaggy sometimes.
Then on the other hand his personality is closer to Sheldon Cooper (even applying to colleges for a physics major, which he chose that career before the show debuted) so we also call him Sheldon. And he is a good teen, does his chores, hangs out with a good crowd, etc, so we call him Punk just to be funny. I think there’s a couple other nicknames in there.
@MagnaVis I graduated HS in '01 and I used to drink a lot of Surge in HS. I was just guessing from your shirt. Couldn’t remember when it disappeared and I started drinking Mt. Dew. When Surge came back I really wanted to buy some even though I haven’t drank soda in a couple of years. Super addicting stuff.
@RiotDemon@MagnaVis Remember the scratch-offs on the Surge labels? Current-era me certainly doesn’t condone this, but middle-and-or-high-school me definitely Maglited the shit out of those and got a ton of free Surge and some Surge baseball caps to boot.
I do remember when companies used to give you free stuff for saving upc labels and paying shipping. I had Bubble Tape and 7up pool floats that people were envious of.
When I was drinking Mt. Dew, they had some kind of contest where you would enter your caps into a random drawing. I had so many, that I couldn’t enter any more. Ended up winning some cool headphones that my ex stole.
@RiotDemon Ahhh, but then you found Meh, a seemingly infinite pool of headphones, provided you’re okay with them being branded by Bob Marley’s estate or looking like a knockoff of Sailor Moon’s tiara or some such!
@RiotDemon I realized after the fact that that was a horrible way to describe the gaudy meh-phones, because I, too, would wear the shit out of that. Moon tiara… action!
This is how dedicated an atheist my friend is: apparently at some point there was an episode (or maybe a couple) of Scooby Do where it really did turn out to be a ghost. Years later he still talks about this with great vitriol, and says it makes him angry enough to do violence to the writers. He’s the only person I have ever known to bring religious fervor to atheism.

I’ve only ever seen one episode of Scooby-Doo about 25 years ago. Scrappy-Doo deterred me.
/giphy Scrappy sucks.
@hems79 luckily he was not one of the regulars.
WTF is Scooby-Doo?

@gertiestn
@thismyusername The 06-08 group just looks weird.
@conandlibrarian @thismyusername
Thankfully, the only version which I’ve never seen any episode of was the 2006 version.
I didn’t even know it existed until a few months ago.
@thismyusername The 2015 version is skewing Family Guy style.
@latca @thismyusername
Mixed feelings about the 2015 format. It took me a while not to get turned off by how the Scooby gang was/is drawn.
There are however, more areas for humor.
Kinda the opposite of Mystery Incorporated which I really enjoyed.
@PlacidPenguin Be Cool, Penguin…
Scrappy Doo can fuck right off.

@LaVikinga
@thismyusername
Not one thing about Poochy made any sense.
Then again, that was the whole joke in a single episode.
Scrappy was the predecessor of certain mehmbers.
He affected several Scooby Doo iterations.
Lovely role in Scooby-Doo: The Movie though.
@RiotDemon
@LaVikinga @thismyusername @conandlibrarian @RiotDemon
@PlacidPenguin Die, Scrappy Doo, die.
Batman?
Oh wow. It may take a while for me to answer this.
It depends on which iteration of the show the poll refers to.
@jasontoon @Matthew @narfcake
Who writes the poll?
I feel like I am Scrappy Doo, but in reality I am more like Velma.
@conandlibrarian you feel like you’re really annoying and hated by tons of people? Ouch.
@RiotDemon
/giphy You are correct
@conandlibrarian
@mfladd can have shaggy without
@thismyusername @mfladd I was playing this song for my wife the other day when she asked who made a mess in the living room.
@mfladd You’d like to be shaggy…you are instead, much more old man Jenkins.
@KittySprinkles
@mfladd They’ve got procedures for that…
@KittySprinkles What the hell is that? A cake tin?
@mfladd it both fascinates and disgusts me
@mfladd @KittySprinkles I think she was on that show Botched. Almost as bad as the lady who got silicone caulking and cement injections at someone’s house.
There is a porn parody of the show. Thankfully, Scooby isn’t present.
Theme songs over the years

Me. Can you guess what I voted?
@MagnaVis nice smile! Is that a can of Surge?
@RiotDemon I wish! It’s Mountain Dew- I used to drink an excessive amount.

@brhfl I honestly don’t remember that.

@brhfl I’d probably wear the Sailor Moon ones, lol

@brhfl they’d probably be a headband with meatball buns attached, lol
No idea, as I think I was in college when these were created. Now all of you cartoon characters: OFF MY LAWN!
@rockblossom and you woulda’ gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids!!!

Where are the Harlem Globetrotters? They were in like 10 episodes.
