Honestly I don't get the obsession with the show. Scooby Doo doesn't exactly have some reputation for consistent quality.

But even if I wasn't a fan of Scooby-Doo, the show is still horrendous from it's writing, attempts at humor, and overall even trying to tell a story. And for me being a Scooby-Doo fan, it makes it all about 10 times worse.

It's not bad it feels like family guy with more gruesome detail. It's a bootleg there not trying to be on cartoon network.

I find it pretty amusing how Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, a show for kids, is more mature than Velma, a show for adults.

[@maxleon61702]

Facts. This show is so undeniably horrendous as fudge, that it makes June from Little Einsteins look and feel like a very well-mannered Queen by Comparison and in fact, even Aigis and June would be good friends with each other too and I can say the same with Max too (ya know, the one who is Goofy's son). So, in other words, it's official: Little Einsteins had someone who acts more like a matured Human Being than this variant of Velma who is actually a Villainous Protagonist than a Heroic one, meaning that if Captain Jake is the Little King of the eternally expanded Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior family, then June would be the Queen.

Someone said something interesting about the Total Drama show when Total Dramarama came out: The original show had both stereotypical character and ANTI-stereotypes. For example, Gwen was a goth girl who was actually pretty sociable. Total Dramarama has only stereotypes.

[@Ayana-LTLA]

That’s one of my main, after many, negatives I have about the show. Everyone is literally the same person they were when they were teens except Gwen! They probably just thought “Oh she’s a goth on TD so let’s just make her be unsocial, creepy, weirdo child.” OG Gwen was friendly and nice to others(minus Heather), but in rama they completely ruined her character. She didn’t act like a child like the others, she acted like she was a stereotypical emo/goth teen in a child’s body.

[@lopezjdamian]

I actually think what makes the show suck is it's the antithesis of OG TDI. None of them are teens, so no drama/relatability. It's been dumbed down meaning less character depth, less good jokes and less violence (a fun draw of the original) and most importantly it has no edge. One of the biggest draws of TDI is it was edgy and got away with some bat shit crazy content. One of the most memorable being Heather's top coming off. We were straight up given a nudity scene (it was censored) of teen girl. That right there is edge and pushing it. Then of course all the cynicism is gone too. With no drama, there's no snarky back and forth or rivalries.

[@RealGilbertGan]

What's even worst is the fart fetish within the show, to which I am NOT a fan of! And added insult to injury is the existence of a fart sniffing fairy which caused long time TD fans to rage quit. I'm pretty sure the people behind the scenes are fetishists and pedos themselves.

I think "tone deaf" is an understatement of the year for Santa Inc and it is flat out oblivious to the point. Santa even pointed out to Candy that she couldn't be the next Santa because she has made it abundantly clear she hates Christmas and she hates children, which the fundamentals of the job kinda require you to have a fondness for both. She takes this advice and completely dismisses it to whine about how it's about sexism that's blocking her and not the obvious fact she doesn't have any traits that would be needed to do the job properly.

To my knowledge, Kamp Koral has been confirmed to be non-canon, mostly due to Sandy Cheeks being present. In SpongeBob series proper, she had just moved to Bikini Bottom, and in fact underwater at all, in Season 1. Also, it's implied that Patrick's "parents" in the Patrick Show are paid actors, not his biological parents, due to his biological parents being established in that one episode "I'm With Stupid" and being returning characters in at least one other episode.

[@missplayer30]

I wish more people acknowledge that. I am so happy that neither were considered canon. Despite the references in the main series, but you can easily argue that a version of of those spin-off events happened and not the one we saw.

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

I was confused by why Sandy was there, then now you explained it, well, thank you.

[@karaoconnoraliasraidra]

In theory fans can also do what comic book writers do and say the shows are set in alternative/parallel universes. Some comic book companies, most notably DC and Marvel, have a number of different universes. One reason is to explain discrepancies. For instance, Superman was originally portrayed as working for The Daily Star and beginning his heroic career as an adult in Metropolis, but later stories portrayed him as working for The Daily Planet and beginning his heroic career as a teenager in Smallville. The writers eventually explained the discrepancies by saying, “The one Superman is from Earth-One while the other is from Earth-Two.” Another reason is to explore different ideas and possibilities without mucking up the main universe’s continuity. Marvel has its What If…? series and the Ultimate Marvel universe while DC has its Elseworlds books.

Mindy is not completely blameless. She was Executive Producer, which means she had to review and sign off on anything related to the show. The fact that we Got Velma was either her shirking off her responsibilities as an Exec. Producer or she looked at the trainwreck and said this is gold, which says a lot about her. Probably doesn't help that most people in these positions have yes people all the time.

One of the biggest problems with Santa Inc is that there’s already a much better alternative in Arthur Christmas. Arthur Christmas does the idea of “unlikely character proves they can become the next Santa” much better than Santa Inc, and does it in a way that’s not incredibly mean-spirited, gross, and/or vulgar. It also has a character realize that maybe they’re not cut out to be Santa, and that’s ok, they can still help bring joy to the world in their own special way- which I feel like is the lesson Santa Inc’s main character needed to learn, but sadly the show just continued to double down on its shallow edginess.

One particular modern cartoon that was really hated was Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go. The very moment the show was announced back in 2020, during the 75th anniversary of The Railway Series, the Thomas fandom was pissed. Seeing the most iconic character in British literature history be turned into a literal kid was lambasted. Even the whole thing with complete disregard of railway regulations and how some parts of Sodor became a literal playground. And when the show launched in 2021, there was some news articles saying it’s “haunting to look at”. People just hated it. The animation looking bog standard and some of the characters (Who are steam engines) breaking regulations and even going off the tracks. But as the show went on, people actually saw some things they liked (James being a funny character, the child actors were actually good, and getting Neil Crone to reprise the role of Gordon from Magic Railroad (And later on Eddie Glenn (Thomas’ VA in Magic Railroad) to voice Toby)) and now some Thomas fans have accepted the show. Even me, someone who grew up with the model series, have to say that All Engines Go was something I dreaded, to something I accepted.

[@thesupervideogamenerdmore3171]

I heard of that.

[@andykishore]

Okay The Patrick Star Show, you did it. You've officially gained mainstream now. The Patrick Star Show has just been sitting there, quietly chilling in the background for the past 2 years since July 9, 2021, obviously not gaining anywhere near the amount of attention as the main SpongeBob SquarePants show. But then all of a sudden the episode "Bubble Bass Reviews" premiered on July 24, 2023 and now finally The Patrick Star Show has an episode gaining mainstream attention due to the episode's blatant references to internet culture and the good old Nostalgia Critic. A man that PhantomStrider has collaborated with multiple times. Some of these cartoon reviewers are really going places these days, huh? It's funny too because back in the day, people insisted to me that the main SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon had two episodes that were vaguely referencing social media. Specifically "The Krabby Kronicle" (cancel culture) and "Bulletin Board" (Twitter/X). But despite these claims, neither of those episodes got mainstream attention when they premiered or in any of the years since. Most likely because both "The Krabby Kronicle" and "Bulletin Board" are vaguely social media themed without having any characters actually use the internet or computers in both episodes, except for a printing press. I like how it took until the spin-off Patrick Star Show to make an internet/social media episode within the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise to get actual mainstream attention. Like I've said before about being more direct with its references, The Patrick Star Show episode "Bubble Bass Reviews" actually has Bubble Bass using a computer and directly wearing clothes that parody an internet personality. There you go internet critics that caught the attention of this episode. Bubble Bass is using the internet to voice his reviews, just like you critics out there using the internet to respond to this very episode.

[@foxymetroid]

I think "The Krabby Kronicle" was more of an attack on yellow journalism and tabloids, both of which have been around for over a century while the Bulletin Board was about "boards", which were parts of websites where users could talk about various topics. Think of it like Reddit before Reddit was even a thing.

There are episodes where you can tell they do care about the subject of the episode, otherwise they wouldn't even feel the need to talk about it.

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

An adult Scooby-Doo show COULD be interesting, but Velma seriously went overboard in being hateful and edgy. It felt like every second of this show was a middle finger to everything related to Scooby-Doo in the past.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Indeed. Honestly, the basic Scooby Doo formula adjusted a bit to more target adult audience could be a good thing, if properly written/executed. Mystery Incorporated had something of a right idea for this, but skewed a bit still to some "what were the writers thinking" moments. Season 1 Velma there kinda rubs people the wrong way when she tries the "me or the dog" thing and gets a very real world response. But then, everyone treats Shaggy like dirt, rather than calling her out on the obvious "jerk move". Minor nags asside, it's actually a rather nice take on the the premise. And something similar but ratcheted up a few notches into being more targeted to adults could really work well. It could well be something that would help people forget that "Velma" as a show exists.

[@Attmay]

That’s why it is the only good thing to ever come out of this rotten franchise. That middle finger was justified as payback for everything it has done to perpetuate the lie that animation is just for children. The Sinatrasong-Shitdog show represents everything wrong with animation since Walt Disney died, Termite Terrace closed, and Hanna-Barbera sold out to Taft Broadcasting. Watch pre-1967 H-B cartoons. They mop the floor with it. Even *Pixie and Dixie* held up better! *Velma* is the only good thing to come out of this show ever, and all the hate directed towards it says nothing about the show and everything about its racist misogynistic haters.

[@matthewdrummond1340]

The worst part of Velma was that it's supposed to be set in high school and the 1st episode had a shower scene that felt uncomfortable considering.

[@jbcatz5]

The shower scene alone was pointless because it was about making commentary on contemporary trends by playing it straight as the punchline because fourth wall digs are funny logic. You’ve had a character say pilots use gratuitous nudity in the pilot by a character with only shower steam to cover her modesty, is the joke she’s doing the thing she’s remarking on? Because people have been pointing out shows like Riverdale using physical fanservice for years before this show was made, it’s not a groundbreaking gag.

Velma is high end art: how do you piss off the right and the left so much that they mutually agree to hate something? That is talent.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

It’s funny how some “kids shows” are more intelligent, introspective, and mature than most adult animated shows. But, some cartoons on nick or CN have been all noise and no substance too. Everyone is entitled to like what they like, but it’s often the well-written, and thought out cartoons that are remembered by both children and adults. For example, my siblings and our Mom both liked Scooby Doo, SpongeBob, and Danny Phantom. Because they weren’t just flashy shows with well-written jokes, there was a little more insight into the themes and messages they explored. Or, they were simply just that entertaining to both adults and kids. Scooby Doo had a nice formula of solving mysteries and teaching viewers about problem solving and critical thinking, while shows like SpongeBob were witty in their humor, making for memorable episodes in its “golden age”.

Part of the appeal of new versions of the show is seeing what they do in service of setting up mysteries for Mystery Inc to solve, be it adding in genuine supernatural elements, putting a 21st century spin on things, crossovers from other franchises, a more serialised narrative etc. Velma’s spin is that she’s the focus character and she’s a bitch to everyone whilst simultaneously expecting respect while alienating people.

Good thing to note is that the crew behind ThunderCats Roar were not involved in the production of the Teen Titans Go "crossover" episode- it was completely made by the Teen Titans Go crew with just a few voice actors popping in there. The episode did a great job tanking people's expectations of the show when it barely even aired.

The kicker AND sad part is that people will know about TCR from the TTG episode than the series itself...

I'm not sure that it matters. Both shows are so similar, and suck for the same reasons.

The sad part about bad writing is that the people who made the writing has a massive ego that makes them blame the viewers for "not being interested" instead of ever considering the possibility of being bad at writing. Either that or they just want your money and doesn't care what the quality is. Either way, they act surprised when they're told that they're bad at their job.

I really like all of the effort you put into this video. Down to the little details like the Animal Crossing cutaways during the Velma review. I enjoy your editing style and narrative as always!

[@phantomstrider]

Thank you! Almost all the top comment are attacking that Mindy writer about Velma. It's refreshing to see someone talk about the other 39 minutes of the video!

​@phantomstrider The entire list is really well done but Velma just pisses people off too much.

36:53 A ton of adults watch cartoons. My dad's a great example. He's a huge American Dad! fan. Sure, American Dad! is aimed at an older audience, but it's still a cartoon

I feel like we've entered a new age in animation where you really can't expect what to see. I've actually seen quite a lot of people like the patrick show, it surprised me. 34:15, might wanna correct the greenscreen here

I was clapping and laughing when this so-called "Velma" character got hit by a car.

PSS is probably going to be the least "despised" on the list. It suffers from something similar to what Fanboy and Chum Chum suffered from. In which it's despised now but will be remembered more fondly in the future as it was nowhere near as bad as we remembered nor was as bad as it's contemporaries.
