While obviously meaning that he is a viking in his dream, it has been reinterpreted by nerds to mean that Ralph excels at sleep, and describes himself as a "viking" in that field.link

Confusion concerning Goofy and Pluto
Disney has needed to deal with a certain amount of confusion concerning the fact that the anthropomorphic Goofy, and dog-like Pluto often appear on screen together, yet are the same species. On their web site, it stated that "Goofy was originally created as Dippy Dawg" and "was created as a human character, as opposed to Pluto, who was a pet, so Goofy walked upright and had a speaking voice". This problem was humorously illustrated in the movie Stand By Me in which one of the boys ponders, "Mickey's a mouse, Donald's a duck, and Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?" There is also an episode of the Disney Channel series Even Stevens called "Scrub Day" where in Louis' rallying-the-troops speech he wonders why Goofy got to walk and talk and Pluto has to eat from a dog bowl. This confusion is also mentioned in the French movie La Cité de la peur.

Scrappy Doo was actually a benefit to the series, which was going down the tubes anyway - Scrappy or no. Scrappy was always actively looking for clues while Scooby and Shaggy slinked around looking for snacks. When Scrappy found a clue, he'd interpret it to make the case for it being evidence. I love the little dude and my son does too. I'm sure that whatever Gen-Xer backlash we feel towards Scrappy will seem very alien to future generations.

I want to say that it is totally true that Scooby-Doo has gotten much better through its various incarnations but part of me wonders if A Pup Named Scooby-Doo seeming like SUCH a breath of fresh air after an original series S-D marathon isn't mostly up to it fitting the standards of WB afterschool cartoons ca. 1993, modern-style animation and meta jokes?? can i really say that meeting Smash Mouth sucks less than meeting the Speed Buggy gang?? questions!!!

My own Facebook strawpoll didn't yield many results, but they were mostly negative. Interestingly though, my sister said:
It's been so long that I don't feel qualified to speak about Scrappy, but I seem to recall that he was the one who was looking for clues... which makes him an evidence-based mystery solver, which I can get behind.
I doubt that we've ever watched or talked about Scrappy-Doo together.

However, I managed to partially sway another friend, who liked the mystery-solving aspects of his character but felt he had anger management issues.

People ask me if I knew at the time I was contributing to the creation of a such a hated thing as Scrappy Doo. No, I didn't and no, I still don't. I am aware that there are some folks out there who, given the choice of seeing the execution of Osama bin Laden or Scrappy Doo, would opt for Scrappy and wonder why you even had to ask.
