The Scooby-Doo Iceberg Explained

[@Blokewood3]

On the "Velma is evil" argument regarding "Where's My Mummy" it is important to note that Velma did not know the gang was going to visit her, and they showed up only a few minutes before the tomb robbers arrived. Velma didn't really have time to adjust her plan. Furthermore, Velma did at least try to convince them to stay out of the tomb and not to investigate the mystery, saying it was too dangerous. They insisted, and almost disrupted her entire plan. I think a good argument can be made that it wasn't really Velma's fault. Everything would have worked out fine if it weren't for those meddling kids!

[@pipflakebricks8711]

Velma also became evil in Frankencreepy, I believe it was called

[@MistressDove]

@@pipflakebricks8711 Yes, but it's stated in that movie she was under the control of outside forces and it wasn't her own choice.

[@owenmonjesmugas3637]

I think it could be a reference to mistery incorporated, because the gang is cursed, the series itself said it, history goes on repeating itself

[@Ar7ifur]

Scooby doo mystery inc, one of the best reruns of this seriees btw, actually uses this theory in its show! As in, they are doomed to solve mysteries forever.

[@AluminumFusion22]

Some additional entries for the Iceberg: - The 2002 movie was meant to be both a parody and R-Rated. James Gunn has been very open in saying that the 2002 Scooby-Doo movie was meant as a R-Rated comedy, with Daphne and Velma having romantic feelings for each other, Fred being very deluded and full of himself, and the Shaggy and Scooby would've been stoners, which still remains in the final film as some off-hand jokes about smoking weed.

[@theorist]

[@solcorvinusoftiktok9907]

[@thehunterator520]

The reason scooby doo meets the adams family is on the iceberg is because that is the only episode that has not gotten a physical release, except for an australian vhs copy, because the adams' estate will not let warner release the episode, which is why the newest release on blu ray and dvd is called the almost complete collection, which only doesn't have that one episode.

[@theorist]

Ooo. Someone else commented and mentioned this same exact thing (minus the Australian vhs part). I will be sure to include this in my part 2 to this iceberg! Thanks for the information

[@ChrisDodgen]

@@theorist I will add: the “lost episodes” weren’t actually lost. The reason they called that DVD “the lost episodes” was because they released a definitive collection of The New Scooby-Doo Movies on DVD, and many were not included because of negotiations with various guest stars. They eventually sealed the deals on all but the Addams family and released the missing ones as “lost” since they weren’t in the original release.

[@robertgrauman8602]

I remember reading somewhere or seeing a video that explained that if Shaggy was wearing a green shirt, it's a guy in a suit. If Shaggy is in a Red shirt, the monsters are real. I don't think this actually tracks though, because while Shaggy was wearing red in Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers and Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf, I'm pretty sure he was wearing green in Zombie Island.

The one about "Velma being evil" may also be referring to the fact that in the "Be cool Scooby doo" series, she gets visited by the christmas ghosts and the one that shows her the future makes her see a future where she is (always) the only villain that the mystery inc group (now really old) stops in the future. This because she at some point separated from the group and blames them for losing her time solving silly mysteries when she could´ve been using her intelligence for more important things.

@@wizzerd2222 you are wrong and here's why. Scoobynatural takes place during the very 1st season of Scooby-Doo where are you, 1969. It pre-dates everything you mentioned.

[@wizzerd2222]

@@freebird0147 yes it is in the first season But it’s impossible for it to be cannon because it’s an episode that has already taken place before. Scoobynatural is in the super natural universe here’s how. Sam and Dan get a haunted tv which is explained in the special, the tv starts playing Scooby doo where are you season 1 The haunted house hang-up and Sam and Dan get shucked into the episode where Sam state’s later in the special that he grow up watching reruns of the haunted house hang-up, which they use to solve the mystery and get back to there world. Meaning scooby doo is a cartoon in the supernatural universe like how it is for us. They didn’t get sucked into the scooby doo universe itself they just got sucked into the episode. Meaning it can’t be cannon to scooby doo as much as I love this special and the haunted house hang-up it just doesn’t make sense to be cannon to the scooby doo universe. By all means you can say it’s cannon if you want to after all there’s no official cannon confirmed for scooby doo yet. People just make cannon based on what fits and make sense in the given material available to us.

[@acsaudiodramas]

Yeah, the gang usally not aging is an interesting theme. Most of the time the characters are high schoolers. In a few 80's shows they are stated to have graduated and having jobs and carreers. Same goes for 1998's Zombie Island. On Be Cool they have graduated and aren't at collage yet, because of mystery solving. Strangely in the sequels to Zombie Island and 13 Ghosts they are suddenly younger than in the original. Also there is the triology with the Sheriff from these movies. In Happy Halloween he says, he fooled them "all these years" but they didn't age during these 3 movies. My theory is, that due to some curse or some Anunaki prophecy (- ya know, Mystery Incorporated series) the gang always dies when Scooby does. A great dane has a life expectation of less than 10 years. And they either are reborn as babys maybe in a different town (coolsville, crysral cove), to different parents or they suddenly awake in the bodies of other teenagers and meet Scooby. Sometimes they meet villians from other incarnations or remember older mysteries. But they think all their memories come from one life. They don't know, that they always die and come back. This is absolutely bonkers and could hardly work in the canon, but I like it. It's my head canon.

The concept of real monsters versus people in costumes was really at the forefront of the Zombie Island movie if you wanted to dive further down that rabbit hole, it was one of the first times that real monsters were the main villains of the story and definitely diverged from the previous canon plot line of unmasking the human bad guy at the end of the tv episodes.

There is a show called Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law that aired on Adult Swim. It featured Hanna- Barbera cartoons needing to go to court for various reasons. Scooby Doo and Shaggy were taken to jail in one episode under suspicion of being high while driving the Mystery Machine. They took clips from the original Scooby Doo as their evidence. There was also an episode coving the shows that were copies of each other like Jabberjaw, Speed Buggy, and Scooby Doo. It's an awesome show with adult humor. I highly recommend giving it a watch if you guys haven't. Also, Frank Welker has voiced Fred in every cartoon adaption of Scooby Doo since the original and has voiced Scooby Doo since 2002.

[@Spectra651]

An interesting fact to possibly add to this iceberg is that there exists a Scooby Doo movie that doesn't feature *any* monsters, or paranormal occurrences, or villains in costumes, OR even a central mystery to solve. It's called 'Scooby Goes Hollywood' and is from either the late 70s or early 80s. Shaggy basically convinces Scooby that he should leave his regular series (which exists in this universe as a Sat AM cartoon, so meta before meta was really a common thing) and strike out for bigger and better roles in Hollywood, and the whole movie basically revolves around them trying to get a movie deal. Also the gang (who all play themselves in the show, apparently) try to get the two of them to come back and do the regular series again. It's admittedly a lot different from the usual 'Scooby' formula, but I still think it's quite fun. I used to watch it all the time as a kid.

KZbin user Joe Capo is actually the person who created the original ultra instinct shaggy meme, He used to shitpost a lot on yt. He also made several videos on his channel that explained how he created the meme, and how many people have stolen and reposted all of his memes including the shaggy meme. It was made in part of a series he created called Dragonball X which was very strange to say the least, with characters like Scooby being a god of destruction and Duracell (literally Cell but orange with duracell batteries on his head) shit like that. I'm pretty sure it came about around the time that Dragonball Super (tournament of power arc) came out, that's when my friends and I found his series anyway. Joe stated many times in a lot of videos that most of his shit was stolen from him which probably caused him to consistently purge videos on his channel. I remember some time in he past 2 years he deleted everything off his channel and re-uploaded some content, and kept doing that in a cycle until he deleted everything again, changed his channel name, then seemingly disappeared from yt. He also said that any other channels that claimed they were him or made his stuff were lying. I'm pretty sure there's at least one or two channels that have reuploaded a lot of his videos. He created an "Oats" series as well that started that stupid lamp meme eventually because people stole his idea and turned it into something else. It's really strange and I can't even explain what made me pay attention to his activity besides that it was just so jarring. Great video by the way! I had a huge ??? moment when you mentioned the Ultra Instinct meme and I can guarantee the video you mentioned was made BECAUSE they watched Joe Capo's DBX.

I remember having a leapfrog 3ds device and playing a scooby doo game where the whole gang was there but shaggy and scooby were the main charaters. I had some puzzles to figure out. I also remember a specific chain rattling noise anytime a ghost figure appeared.

[@thegrandxbunny2073]

I feel like the 17:00 lost episode is based off a real episode except instead of Scooby killing everyone, the factory is haunted by a monster made of batter. It's actually a pretty good episode.

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but in a movie called scooby doo and the monster of Mexico , Fred confirmed that Shaggy has a high metabolism.

The Addams Family reference is to the fact it is the only officially unreleased episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies. I believe John Astin won't release the rights to use his voice in a home media release.

The 'bad artstyle Version" of Scooby doo of 2017 had one of the best and funniest scenes ever: that scene were the clown police took away the evil clowns. The first time I saw it, it got me laughing for several minutes and everyone, I have shown it to, loved it too.

[@Groomsman]

There’s the theory that the gang is running from the government. The theory goes that since Where Are You first aired during the Vietnam war, Shaggy (who is a hippie) and Fred are running away from the draft, hence why they’re constantly moving around. Daphne is Fred’s girlfriend, and Velma is actually a protester who joins them

[@alexdotnet8943]

there IS an episode of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" in which shaggy wins a trip to a scooby snack factory, but thats all the similarities it has with the nosleep post

[@themisfitbrigade]

I remember the marathon they ran in the 2000s where they included commercials featuring the 1969/1970 versions talking about all kinds of facts about them and the show. For instance, Shaggy is called Shaggy because he has shaggy hair. But he used to go to military school and was called Buzz because he had a Buzz cut.

[@AVeryUncreativeUsername]

That cactus man thing was a really weird and specific thing to choose for the last layer. I think it was done more to pad out the episode's run time since the new scooby-doo movies were 45 minutes long. But then after watching this video I started thinking about it more and then it really started bothering me. If there was someone in the suit how did they get away so fast? It's a really weird thing.

[@BeeboCertified]

You unlocked a memory for me with that flash game jump scare. For the longest time looking back, I convinced myself it couldn’t have been an official Scooby game because of how much it freaked me out, but I guess it was.

A pup named Scooby Doo is probably my favorite iteration of Scooby Doo

[@mistermooseyman]

For the real monsters in scooby doo theres multiple movies/episodes in which there is supernatural elements. Like the 13 ghosts of scooby doo, mystery incorporated, episodes in a pup named scooby doo, the boo brothers movie, zombie island movie, ghoul school movie and both live action movies. So in the scoobyverse theres instance after instance where the monsters are real.

[@theorist]

Oh wow! I actually never realized how many real supernatural occurences happen. Thanks for the insight!

[@roxassora2706]

Music of the vampire also tackled real supernatural stuff. Also Shaggy did bowl against Dracula

[@IPGshair]

Don't forget the series with just Shaggy, Scooby doo and Scrappy! That series, just called Scooby doo and Scrappy doo was 30 minutes long and had 7 minute shorts with them interacting with actual supernatural creatures, not only ghosts as I remember episodes with aliens and magic. Then the next series The New Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo Show had some episodes with real monsters. Like the episode where they baby sit for Dracula and Frankenstein's monster is also there. Or the episode they visit a party for an old movie star and at the very end its revealed to be that she's a vampire. This series was the one with only Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy and Daphne

[@gorfthedevourer7906]

I don't fully remember it but I believe there's a theory out there that in some episodes the gang swaped dimensions and that's why shaggy and Scooby Belive some of the monsters are real (like PTSD) it also adds into the idea that the hole canonical timeline could be super out of order. We do see a kind of dimension swapping in the supernatural x Scooby Doo episode and in cyber chase.

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

A lot of what you're saying in regards to Shaggy being a drug addict is a tad silly, *but* this is a pretty old thing even before that "theory" cropped up. Even when I was fairly young people would make jokes about him basically being a stoner, and it makes sense. He's depicted as kind of a hippy who loves food and is lazy etc. The live action Scooby-Doo movie makes several jokes about it, like the girl Shaggy like being named Mary Jane and the part at the beginning where you see smoke coming out and it turns out they're making hot dogs on a grill instead. Also the "Gang being cursed" one reminds me of the book "John Dies at the End" which is set in a town that the author refuses to reveal (They just call it "Redacted") and the town is just sort of a magnet of weirdness, its never explained *why* and there are various silly theories presented. If you like horror-comedy check out that book and its sequels - they're fun. They can even be genuinely scary too when they want to. I saw The Scooby Doo Project live. I remember when I first found it online it brought up some major memories, we used to watch Cartoon Network all the time. Cartoon Cartoon fridays were the best.

[@austincarter9523]

I feel like this left a lot out. No Mystery Inc or live action movies? No mention of the failed reboot where they diversified the gang?

[@impixilise]

okay this is an old video but ima put my opinion out here- Even though everyone hates Be Cool Scooby-Doo for its art style, I don't think it should've gotten cancelled. I loved getting laughs from this show and the last few episodes with the whole story/huge adventure thing were amazing! I loved the whole Fred and his father thing, and the whole twist with Rose.

[@truroberts538]

My own Fan theory, is that Shaggy and Scooby were actual in the Army in the 60's and were recruited into the drug trials. After an extremely high reaction, they became highly anxious often turning to food for comfort and overreacting to "scary monsters" I believe their friends started mystery inc to help Scooby and Shaggy face their resulting drug reactions, and calm their fears. Scooby snax are loaded with anti-anxiety or smaller doses of the drug, which helps them to become almost fearless. It's explains why they almost always evade monsters with comical but amazing skill. It would also explain why under hypnosis shaggy had expert level combat and motorcycle skills.

A couple additions. The monsters are real comment probably refers to the 80s movies where the monsters are real like Ghoul School, Boo Brothers, Reluctant Werewolf, and of course 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo. The comment for the Addams Family episode is because they copyright blocked it and it was not released on the Scooby movies dvd. I don't know where you can watch it.

The Adams Family/Wednesday's Missing one is a reference to the fact that it's the one episode of the New Movies that hasn't been released on DVD due to licensing issues. The series has been partially released on multiple occasions as they managed to negotiate for the rights to release them from the various companies and estates. So far, that's the one last holdout.
