Well said. Fun vid. Keep going!

Scrappy was bad. I was confused when they changed the show around. Scooby no longer anchored my saturday morning relay team.

As someone who grew up right after the Scrappy era, I find him the least enjoyable thing in most everything he's in. However, I don't hate him like some do. If someone can use him well, let them try. Otherwise, I'm fine with leaving him in the past. He may have saved the franchise, but at what cost?

I knew a few people that liked or at least didn't mind Scrappy. And the fact that Scrappy did love and respect his Uncle Scooby redeemed him a little in my eyes.

I loved this film

So one day I was reading on TV Tropes, as one does, and one of the examples for a trope was JATPC. Other than explaining the trope it said that it had Parker Posey at her Parker Posiest. Having no idea who this Parker was, the wording piqued my interest so I downloaded the film, and boy am I glad I did.

As a 12 year old I loved this movie. I still do.

Not getting the satire in this movie is WILD! The movie slaps you with its message, and the critics responses are absolutely mind boggling

Cartoon puppy from the 1970s? Scrappy-Doo was created in 1980 - after the 1970s were over. Not long-over - but over. By the way - to say “everybody hates Scrappy-Doo” is a bold statement - because though a LOT of people hate Scrappy-Doo - not EVERYONE hates him. For example, I do not. Granted - this is largely because I never saw the seasons responsible for the hate he receives -- but even if I did, I would more likely hate those seasons than hate Scrappy-Doo himself. By the way -- about pro-Scrappy people being all younger -- I am Gen X.

Easily in my top 10 favorite movie of all time.

I love this movie I can't count the number of times I have watched it people must be really thick to not get the satire.plus the music is really great.

Love this movie! Bro, make more essays!

The Character is indeed annoying but I never understood this hate level on the character, I mean I've talked to people who hated Scrappy even more than Angelica from the Rugrats. The show didn't became bad because Scrappy was in it, it's because the classic formula was changed by the writers during his presence and people associated him to the terrible changes made by the writers that occurred during his presence.

my daughter has always and still does love this film

the only 2 movie posters I have in my band room are Spice World and Josie and the Pussycats. my bandmates always thought it was a joke... but it's not, I love those movies

Watched this to absolute death about 2 decades ago and remains to this day, one of my absolute favourites! Such a fun and self aware film. Just goes to show, critics know 💩

A take in the satanic music industry.

Critics fell to their own smug superiority.

I and most others enjoy hating Scrappy.

I was just 13 when I first watched that movie and yet the satirical elements were still super evident. What are these critics smoking?

I used to hate Naruto for the death of Toonami as the series was shoved down our throats. So I see why some hate Scrappy. I've given up my hate of Naruto now that Toonami was revived, but took time. I for one never hated Scrappy. I loved the pup.

30:41 That's all true. We shouldn't just hate something or someone in fiction. Scrappy is proof that sometimes adding a so called 'scrappy' into a show can save it. Scrappy ain't no villain, he's a hero! Full of good! #JusticeforScrappy

Gotta love that Scrappy has a fandom now and a lot of people are now confused as to why Scrappy was hated in the first place.

I guess this confirms that the scrappy hate was one of the og memes, this whole shit literally dates back before the 2000's

How did I, as a seven year old in the theater, understand the message of this film better than fully grown adults?

"They're selling US through our music" Always found this line funny because....that's supposed to be how it works lol Just, ya know, without the brainwashing.

It's a good movie and I return to it quite a bit. It's not great by any means but far from the trash it was perceived to be. Funny enough I learned about it from conspiracy theory videos I was into when I was younger. This and SLC Punk honestly fit an oddly similar vibe. Both having messages about individuality.

well I still Blame the writers for doing scrappy doo all wrong

I love how this is recommended to me after Velma Season 2 ended 😂😂

Honestly, some people just have way too much time on their hands to hate on a fictional character

When I was first was watching TV as a toddler, it was during the Scrappy era. I liked it for what it was. But then again what 3 year old isn’t entertained by cartoons. But once syndicated television started airing the OG Scooby Mysteries, I wasn’t even 8 years old and thought to myself: “OMG! This is soooooo much better!”

"Blank is the new blank" is always in my head from this movie. I work at a library and the other day I was like "Freida McFadden is the new Colleen Hoover" because of how the popular books were trending. Also how can so many critics miss the point of the product placement? The McDonald's hotel room was so over the top it was obvious to 14 year old me that it was satire.

17:00 I saw both of these films the year that they came out. Josie and the Pussycats is the superior film and it's not even close.

12:00 This is because most professional movie critics, especially back then, lack a sense of humor (hence why they favor boring but serious dramas) and were treating this satirical comedy as if it was a serious drama.

Sweet innocent video from pre Velma times

As a kid i loved Scrappy too. Its really unfair and kinda cruel at this point that people just treat the poor puppy like this

The scenes where scrappy was being tortured, jesus christ that legit made me uncomfortable.

I've never understood the scrappy hate yes he was a bit much in some episodes but he never deserved the hate he's 1 of my favorite characters quite frankly I wish they'd revisit same of scooby and shaggy family in some way in up coming movies also why haven't we gotten a scooby game recently I'm waiting.....

My brother was used to hate Scrappy, but I don't. I still love Scrappy today. I hope they make him a good guy again.

I love Scrappy, I will defend him to the moon and back!!!! I’ll probably be the first person to stand up for him but who’s with me!?!?!?

3 years later, Scrappy turned into a hero for killing off the most hated version of Velma!!

So glad that someone is actually defending Scrappy Doo ! The hate for this character is so unnecessary !

I was surprised when he turned out to be the main villain in the movie, because for me he never was a bad and annoying character, and I was even more surprised that a lot of people genuinely hated him... People have nothing better to do, damn.

Perhap we treated him too harshly

2:44, The inclusion of A Star is Born (2018) was very clever since that movie & Josie and the Pussycats (2001) were both shot by the same cinematographer, Matthew Libatique.

What I find most intriguing is that Scrappy's the only of such characters who EXECUTIVES hate with a passion. Usually, for the most obviously vile characters such as Caillou, only ordinary watchers seems to hate them. But this character who 1) fulfilled his contract and 2) isn't even that bad (also eradicated Mindy from the "Velma" show), it's the industry that's kicking him the most viciously. Very ungrateful.

Screweverybody who hated Scrappy Doo. I grew up in the 80's & everybody and myself liked him. He damn near was the show. Real kids of the 80's liked him. Hated he was the big bad in the live action movie. At least Scrappy would be helpful & not eat all your food.

Well, this character became relevant

As someone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, i didn’t even know people didn’t like scrappy until the live action. Glad i didn't experience internet indoctrination.

RIP Scrappy, he saved Scooby and the gang and they repay him by throwing him under the bus 😔🙏
