Which animal would you use to crush Scrappy Doo?

Basically, if I was down in the old Indian Caves and came upon what looked to be a ghost bear, I wouldn't run away and hide chattering in some barrel. I'd look that ghost bear square in the eye and say "PUPPY POWER!" and then I would cold sock him in the lip.

Or the shin, really...

later, we would all say "remember that time we were down in the old Indian Caves and kingkongvsgodzilla got his soul sucked out be a ghost bear? that was really sad"

"who knew farmer johnson was a master practitioner of Santeria?"

RIP

xp

btw I am strawpolling "Scrappy Doo: Yay or Nay?" on Facebook and, unsurprisingly since he is worse than being doused with rancid whale sperm mid-yawn, our little yippy scourge is racking up 100% Nays.

xpost Dan that would not be allowed to happen b/c that would mean there could actually be such a thing as a ghost bear, and this show does not allow us such fancies. It's actually an evil capitalist with a rug thrown over him and a sound effects record on a turntable hidden behind those rocks over there.

he is worse than being doused with rancid whale sperm mid-yawn

i just barfed a little in my mouth.

a whale sperm has to be the size of a sardine .

you seem to have missed my second post, where it is implied that the ghost bear was actually Farmer Johnson in disguise using his frightening zombie knowledge to trap poor kingkongvsgodzilla's soul in eternal torment (;_;)

tried to just post "Scrappy Dappy Doo!" as a stand-alone post and discovered where my moral center truly lies

13 ghosts of scooby doo threw all that shit out the window anyway

okay I did not know that the dude behind 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo went on to do Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs

Just want to jump in here to dispel the notion that Scooby Doo cartoons completely deny the existence of the supernatural. There are plenty of episodes out there that involve real spooks.

For example, check out this clip from Scooby Doo and Zombie Island

This shit is truly creepy - note the unusually realistic animation style. I feel kind of bad letting my son and two small nieces even watch this episode.

lolling pretty hard at the guitars

also that would have fucked me UP as a child

Oh yeah, since maybe the late 1980s Scooby Doo actually had ghosts in it sometimes: the Boo Brothers, the Reluctant Werewolf,the Witches Ghost...

you still got owned by a midwestern voodoo priest tho

what an undeservedly incredibly long-lived franchise

^^^ boo to you, btw

Scooby + Shaggy / Scrappy = Fred + Barney / The Thing

Personally, I think the episodes and cartoon movies that have come out in the past decade are far better than old school Scooby Doo. The animation is improved, they are a bit more self-aware of the ridiculousness of the premise, the episodes feature some peppy musical interludes, etc.

Yeah, you love the pop-punk, dontcha?

Oh wait, sorry. I thought you were Mordy.

Anyway, yeah the musical interludes:

if you wanted me to watch that you would have stripped the title from the opening frame

Scooby does eat sand at the end

but, yeah, didn't even watch all of that

Scooby Doo: Classic or Duddits?

you wanted me to watch that you would have stripped the title from the opening frame

Can I do that?

darraghmac, just imagine that I came out with a new "translation" of the Tain bo Cuailnge where Cuchullain had a little kid helper always quick with a current-to-the-times wisecrack, and the name of the character was like "Moomoollin'"

now animate that

voila, Scrappy Doo

ha ok i'm getting some sense of the strength of feeling here, but seriously have you thought about developing this fresh new take on the saga? could be very 'now' imo

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!!!

really though i still believe that pre-~1989 SD is the TV they show in Hell.

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.

writer who first came up w/scrappy should be killed

fyi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Evanier

xp: In the interests of truth, my sister later clarified that I had once before updated my Facebook status in defense of Scrappy Doo, which had colored her opinion. However, I managed to partially sway another friend, who liked the mystery-solving aspects of his character but felt he had anger management issues.

if mark evanier is crushed with a cow then who will be left to report his death to the comics blogosphere

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Evanier's six-part essay on the birth of Scrappy Doo:

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.

NB I have never watched Scooby Doo, so I don't have a dog in this fight

that was pretty awesome, dude seems really genuine & like a solid dude to hang out with - shame about his role in opening the damn vortex between this world & the nether-realms

the road to hell is paved with drunk feisty puppies

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Crushed by another dog...damn.

not nearly enough people hate Dan.

wtf. I thought this poll would come down to what is funnier: dog or cow
EPIC FAIL
(Cow voters unite)

ehhhh someone must have changed the poll title - doh

tempted to change the title back
