He's so hated that the name that [[TVTropes]] came up with for "That character that the vast majority of the fandom seems to hate" is "The Scrappy". Introduced in 1979 in an effort to revive interest in the flagging franchise. Scrappy is the son of Scooby's sister, and is a plucky little pup who is as brave as his uncle is cowardly. He hero-worships Scooby, and is forever boasting about what a great monster hunter Scooby is, to Scooby's chagrin. Why is he so hated? Well, it's a combination of factors, but the biggest elements are probably his annoying catchphrases and his constant insistence on trying to immediately attack the episode's baddy on first sight, forcing Shaggy and Scooby to save him from his own bravery, which just makes their cowardice harder to swallow. Even Hanna-Barbera and later Warner Bros got in on the hatedom, poking fun at how much viewers disliked him - he was even the villain in the first live-action movie!

This started a trend of bizarre celebrity cameos that has survived to this day with the likes of John Cena, KISS, Gary Coleman, even fellow canine Courage the Cowardly Dog.

There have been a ''lot'' of cartoons and movies in this franchise and will take a while to archive them all. If you know any and all scooby doo shows or movies we missed, feel free to add them here.

			'''Scooby-Doo: Where Are You!''' is the original series, the one that started it all, way back in 1969. Ironically, despite the mega-franchise it launched, this particular show only ran for 25 episodes!

			'''The New Scooby-Doo Movies:''' Released in a 2-year period from 1972 to 1974, this was a series of hour-long animated specials, sequels to "Where Are You!" that saw Mystery Inc. teaming up with either animated versions of real-world celebrities, or characters from other Hanna-Barbera animated shows of the time, such as Batman & Robin, Josie and the Pussycats, or the Addams Family.

			Often confused with "Where Are You!", the Scooby-Doo Show consisted of 40 episodes across a 3-year period (1976-1979) and was essentially a continuation of "Where Are You!" Tracking these episodes down is a little tricky because they were actually split across three of Hanna-Barbera's "package shows"; "The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour" (Eps. 1-16), "Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics" (Eps. 17-24), and "Scooby's All-Stars" (Eps. 25-40). Eps. 25-40 were originally shown with the opening titles of "Scooby-Doo! Where Are You?!" (not attached to a package show), and are often seen as a sort of the third season of the original series (and have been released to DVD as such).

			The Scrappy-Doo Era began in 1979, and collectively ran until 1986, spanning multiple shows that technically formed an ongoing collective continuity with "Where Are You!" and the Scooby-Doo Show:
			* ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo:''' Scrappy's introduction, and essentially "The Scooby-Doo Show", but with Scrappy added. Ran for 16 episodes from 1979 to 1980, and ended with Scrappy accidentally destroying the Mystery Machine and causing Mystery Inc to part ways, setting up the next show...
			* '''The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show:''' The most iconic (and probably the most loathed) of the Scrappy-Doo shows; this show revolved around Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy being caught in various wacky misadventures. It consisted of 33 episodes (each divided into 3 seven-minute-long short stories) that ran from 1980-1982.
			* '''The New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show:''' Airing from 1983 to 1984, this 13 episode series saw Daphne join back up with Shaggy and the dogs and reform them into a new version of Mystery Inc, bringing back the old mystery-solving formula. This was then followed by a second 13-episode series in 1984-1985, confusingly titled ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries''', most notable for several return appearances from Fred and Velma.
			* '''The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo:''' The end of the Scrappy-Doo Era came in the form of this show, a continuation to ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries''' that saw the gang accidentally unleash 13 powerful ghosts from a magical demon box, and being charged to fix their mistake. It ran for 13 episodes from 1985-1986, but was cut short before completing its story arc.

			After the death of the Scrappy-Doo Era, the old continuity was broken away, replaced by a series of new shows that would take the core idea of Scooby-Doo and reinterprent it.

			The first of these new shows was '''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo''', which ran for 31 episodes from 1988-1991. This series revolved around a version of the gang as kids, but still solving mysteries. This began a trend for the Scooby-Doo franchise to poke fun at its own iconic cliches and tropes.

			'''What's New, Scooby-Doo?''' was a 42 episode "contemporary reimagining" of "Where Are You!" that ran from 2002 to 2006. This was the first series to be produced by Warner Bros.

			'''Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue!''' launched after the end of "What's New?" in 2006 and lasted until 2008 with 26 episodes. This completely abandoned the mystery solving angle and instead focused on Shaggy and Scooby, now fantastically wealthy after inheriting a mansion from Shaggy's missing mad scientist Uncle Albert. However, Albert's inventions are being pursued by a mad scientist named Dr. Phineas Phibes, and so Shaggy must use special Scooby Snacks that can give Scooby temporary superpowers to protect his uncle's inventions.

			'''Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated''' is largely regarded as the best version of the series. Possing an overarching plot like "Get a Clue", Mystery Incorporated sees the gang trade in their nomadic roots from the classic era to instead be based entirely in the ridiculously fake-haunted town of Crystal Cove, slowly unraveling the puzzle behind the weirdness of their town and unearthing a terrifying paranormal force. It ran for 52 episodes from 2010 to 2013.

			'''Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!''' could be most charitably described as "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, but the characters are all grown up again", having the same focus on self-parody and self-referential meta-humor. The gang are teenagers on a summer vacation road trip who keep running into mysteries and monsters. Widely considered the worst Scooby series since the Scrappy-Doo Era until the curse that is the Velma show came into being. Ran for 52-episodes from 2015-2018.

			'''Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?''' is essentially a modern-day remake of the same basic concept as "The New Scooby-Doo Movies". Ran for 52 episodes from 2019-2021.

			'''Velma''' is the newest Scooby-Doo show. And it ''absolutely fucking '''sucks'''!'' Picture every terrible cliche of "adult animation" and "[[SJW]]-backed modern revamp", roll them all together, and you're still only scratching the surface of this filth. We cannot even begin to describe how awful this show is.

'''Scooby-Doo''' is a long, ''long'' running franchise of cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera revolving around a gang of teens (and their unusually intelligent if cowardly pet Great Dane) solving mysteries in the form of faked hauntings, monsters and other paranormal phenomena. In some iterations of the setting, it may be their (self-appointed) job to investigate these mysteries, whilst in others they just have really, ''really'' rotten luck and keep stumbling across loonies pulling the same basic stunt.

=The Cast=
The core of the Scooby Doo franchise are "Mystery Incorporated"; four teens/young adults and one unusually smart dog.

'''Fred Rogers''' is the ostensible leader of the team. He's decently smart, and something of a mechanical whiz, as he's always the one who invents the various traps they use to try and apprehend the monster.

'''Daphne Blake''' is... uh, well, she's the chick of the group, basically. She basically doesn't have much of a role outside of being the usual damsel in distress, though her clumsiness and weirdly high [[Luck]] stat means she often unearths vital clues to solving the mystery, usually by tripping lover them or bumping into them.

'''Velma Dinkley''' is the brains of the team, often being the one to deduce who the culprit was before the final unmasking and figure out their plot. It depends a little on the series; she's prone to sharing this role with Fred in the original series.

'''Norville "Shaggy" Rogers''' is a cowardly glutton who kind of shares Daphne's spotlight as "the guy with really mixed Luck"; he's usually the one who keeps getting chased by the latest nasty, though he always manages to come out unscathed in the end. Often suspected of being a stoner. Fun fact; the really bizarre food concoctions he was prone to eating in the original series came about after his vegetarian voice actor managed to get Hanna-Barbera to agree to make Shaggy a vegetarian too.

'''Scooby Doo''' is Shaggy's pet Great Dane, and basically a chip off the old block. He's basically a clone of Shaggy in canine form.

And then... there's the Other One. The one we don't like to talk about. The one, the only, '''Scrappy Doo'''. Scooby's nephew, and widely regarded as the single ''worst'' thing to ever happen to the franchise (until the 2023 atrocity that was the Velma show, that is). He's so hated that the name that [[TVTropes]] came up with for "That character that the vast majority of the fandom seems to hate" is "The Scrappy".

=The Series=
There have been a ''lot'' of cartoons and movies in this franchise.

=Monsters: Always Fake?=
Everybody knows that the monsters in Scooby-Doo are always fakes; weirdoes dressing up in costumes to fake hauntings for various elaborate schemes. Which makes it all the more surprising for many to hear that there ''have'' been real monsters in the Scooby Doo franchise.

The most well-known is the animated film "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island", which features [[werecat]] [[witch]]es and the [[ghost]]s of their victims, who reanimate as the titular [[zombie]]s to try and scare off potential victims. This is generally considered the gold standard for Scooby Doo as a whole, and real monster Scooby Doo in particular.

Most of the other appearances of real monsters have been in movies, such as the Shaggy/Scooby/Scrappy era-set "Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School", where Shaggy and Scooby end up unwittingly becoming teachers at a girl's boarding school exclusively for female monsters. But there's also a series that uses this premise; the short-lived "Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo", which is about Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy and Daphne teaming up with new human kid sidekick Flim-Flam to track down and seal away thirteen ghosts that Scooby and Shaggy accidentally released from a magic box.

=/tg/ Relevance=
You wouldn't think this show is all that /tg/ relevant, but you'd be surprised.

Firstly, this is actually a decent reference show for a lot of [[Urban Fantasy]] games; if you want to run a game about paranormal investigators, like [[Dark*Matter]] or [[World of Darkness]], you could do worse than watching some Scooby Doo for ghoulies and plots. Yes, the base material is aimed towards comedy and fake monsters, but you can easily [[grimdark]] it up to suit your tastes.

Secondly, there are a ''ridiculous'' amount of monsters in the Scooby Doo menagerie, and even if they are always fakes by default, it shouldn't be that hard to watch an episode and come up with a way to take the episode's monster and twist it for use in your own game. The Spooky Space Kook, an [[alien]] [[ghost]] piloting the [[spaceship]] equivalent of a ghost ship, could easily be reworked into a horror for [[Spelljammer]] or even one of the [[Warhammer 40,000]] RPGs, for example.

	'''Scooby-Doo''' is a long, ''long'' running franchise of cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera revolving around a gang of teens (and their unusually intelligent if cowardly pet Great Dane) solving mysteries in the form of faked hauntings, monsters and other paranormal phenomena. In some iterations of the setting, it may be their (self-appointed) job to investigate these mysteries, whilst in others they just have really, ''really'' rotten luck and keep stumbling across loonies pulling the same basic stunt.		'''Scooby-Doo''' is a long, ''long'' running franchise of cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1960’s revolving around a gang of meddling teens (and their unusually intelligent if cowardly pet Great Dane) solving mysteries in the form of faked hauntings, monsters and other paranormal phenomena. In some iterations of the setting, it may be their (self-appointed) job to investigate these mysteries, whilst in others they just have really, ''really'' rotten luck and keep stumbling across loonies pulling the same basic stunt.

	The core of the Scooby Doo franchise are "Mystery Incorporated"; four teens/young adults and one unusually smart dog. They all grew up in the town of Coolsville, but so far more traveling once they get older.

	'''Fred Rogers''' is the ostensible leader of the team. He's decently smart, and something of a mechanical whiz, as he's always the one who invents the various traps they use to try and apprehend the monster.

	'''Daphne Blake''' is... uh, well, she's the chick of the group, basically. She ~~basically~~ doesn't have much of a role outside of being the usual damsel in distress, though her clumsiness and weirdly high [[Luck]] stat means she often unearths vital clues to solving the mystery, usually by tripping lover them or bumping into them.		'''Daphne Blake''' is... uh, well, she's the chick of the group, basically. She functionally doesn't have much of a role outside of being the usual damsel in distress, though her clumsiness and weirdly high [[Luck]] stat means she often unearths vital clues to solving the mystery, usually by tripping lover them or bumping into them. Perhaps she is the reason the gang is in good hygiene despite their dirty work. Even the glutonous hippie is washed and looking presentable.

	'''Velma Dinkley''' is the brains of the team, often being the one to deduce who the culprit was before the final unmasking and figure out their plot. It depends a little on the series; she's prone to sharing this role with Fred in the original series.

She tends to also be very clumsy, resulting in the loss of her glasses with comedic effect. It depends a little on the series; she's prone to sharing this role with Fred in the original series.

	'''Norville "Shaggy" Rogers''' is a cowardly glutton who kind of shares Daphne's spotlight as "the guy with really mixed Luck"; he's usually the one who keeps getting chased by the latest nasty, though he always manages to come out unscathed in the end. Often suspected of being a stoner. Fun fact; the really bizarre food concoctions he was prone to eating in the original series came about after his vegetarian voice actor managed to get Hanna-Barbera to agree to make Shaggy a vegetarian too.

'''Scoobert “Scooby” Doo''' is Shaggy's pet Great Dane, and basically a chip off the old block. He's basically a clone of Shaggy in canine form, and the main mascot of Mystery Incorporated. Despite his cowardice and tendency to hide from danger, he is always there to catch the bad guy whenever the trap goes awry with his shaggy luck and good boy instincts.

	And then... there's the Other One. The one we don't like to talk about. The one, the only, '''Scrappy Doo'''. Scooby's nephew, and widely regarded as the single ''worst'' thing to ever happen to the franchise (until the 2023 atrocity that was the Velma show, that is). He's so hated that the name that [[TVTropes]] came up with for "That character that the vast majority of the fandom seems to hate" is "The Scrappy".		And then... there's the Other One.

	The sequel to the original run had many guest appearances of both real world celebrities and fictional characters joining the team in their mysteries; such people included Don Knotts, Sonny and Cher, the Three Stooges, the Harlem Globetrotters, [[wat\| the Addams Family]], and even [[Batman]] and Robin. This started a trend of bizarre celebrity cameos that has survived to this day with the likes of John Cena, KISS, ~~and~~ Gary Coleman.

	The most well-known is the animated film "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island", which features [[werecat]] [[witch]]es and the [[ghost]]s of their victims, who reanimate as the titular [[zombie]]s to try and scare off potential victims. This is generally considered the gold standard for Scooby Doo as a whole, and real monster Scooby Doo in particular.

	Most of the other appearances of real monsters have been in movies, such as the Shaggy~~/Scooby/Scrappy~~ era-set "Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School", where Shaggy and Scooby end up unwittingly becoming teachers at a girl's boarding school exclusively for female monsters. ~~But there~~'s also a series that uses this premise; the short-lived "Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo", which is about Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy and Daphne teaming up with new human kid sidekick Flim-Flam to track down and seal away thirteen ghosts that Scooby and Shaggy accidentally released from a magic box.
