Mystery Inc. was quite dark, brutal and had amazing closure. Maybe my most favourite series from SD universe (+ the first Scooby Doo series)

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!

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.

I feel like the gang is cursed theory is meant to be more leaning towards the idea of the gang being immortal and cursed to be teenagers forever.

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.

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.

Me who’s seen the Scooby doo project bumpers late at night: yeah I knew shaggy’s name

Boy am I glad that he's in there and we're out here and that he's the sheriff and we're frozen out here and we're in there and I JUST REMEMBERED we're out here. What I wanna know is where's the caveman?

I think the "Shaggy is an addict" part is a reference to the common Shaggy is a stoner joke. Do you plan on making a follow up to this iceberg video?

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.

The Scooby-Doo timeline is something special but the reason why real monsters are in some episodes is because of the supernatural crossover which is why real monsters are in the Scooby-Doo universe in the timeline

I've just realized the iceberg video craze has literally let people come out and talk and ramble about their interests in an extensive but organized fashion and I freaking love it.

"Scooby and Shaggy have a disease" and IMMEDIATELY to an ad. Well placed.

Funny enough, there is an episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo? in which Shaggy wins a prize to visit the Scooby Snaks factory. I know because I had the VHS tape of that episode as a kid.

I feel like the cactus man is a hallucination. Look at the evidence, 1 he has no motive other than to mess with fred and Daphne. 2 his sudden disappearance. Now you might ask, how did he drink the water? Well i think fred and Daphne already drank the water and the hallucination is from dehydration in the dessert. That would kinda explain why the cactus "drank" the water there was probably no water to begin with.

Sounds like someone watched the "Recipe For Disaster" episode of Scooby-Doo, and then dreamt it into a cannibalistic nightmare. Because the whole premise of that episode is as described in 16:20, except for cannibalistic Scooby.

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.

Additional stuff for the iceberg: In the 2010 series, There are implications of a character death by being brutally shot by what sounds like a multi-round caliber (Correct me if I got the gun-type incorrect. I'm not exactly one who knows all the different types.) in one of the last few episodes of season 2 along with other potentially unsuitable moments for children. Probably making the series being one of the the most darkest ones to date. If anyone's wondering, yes it's the Mystery Incorporated series.

The shaggy is an addict part is actually talking about an episode from the adult swim show Harvey birdman attorney at law where shaggy and scooby go to court because they used weed

The Reddit No Sleep Help me identify this Scooby-Doo episode post goes into the same vain as the infamous Saki Sanobachi post on 4Chan Supernatural category on what is the most disturbing thing you have ever seen that very day.

Man, I was waiting on you to mention the Johnny Bravo Crossover. I remember having a good time with that episode, and some of the gags still hold up. Other than that, Great video!

Thank you for putting my iceberg into video format. You definitely earned a sub from me

*Scooby-Doo Night of 100 frights plays* No one: Literally no one: Me: *examining the playthrough like some sort of video game skills connoisseur*

"Shaggy is a drug addict" - I love the fact that you even acknowledged that it makes more sense as "Shaggy smokes pot"

19:27 Holy shit, memories unlocked. I remember that I never could finish the game because I was too stupid so I never got the scare-jump lol

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.

"Everyone's favorite: Scooby-Doo" Shaggy: Are you challenging me?

In regards to the show having actual super natural events, one example of it would be in the episode “a night of fright is no delight” (I think) after they unmask the phantom shadows and scooby collects his reward for spending the night in the mansion, the brief case is filled with civil war money making it worthless but then a floating bone just kinda appears out of no where and everyone’s like “well isn’t that cool”

What about the one series, “Scooby Doo mystery incorporated” it was a really good adaptation of Scooby Doo and it was serious and had a story to it.

That jump scare from the flash game scarred me for ages. It still scares me when I see the picture of it. I was even playing it with my dad when it happened and he was like “it’s just a stupid jump scare” but omg hahaha

The fact that you opened with Night of 100 Frights made my whole day

The gang did go to the Scooby snack factory at one point, but Scooby did not eat the gang in it. As for the gang not aging, in the 13 ghosts of scooby doo, they only catch 12 until a movie that takes place around a decade later. In it Flim Flam grows up but the rest of the gang does not.

I'm a little dissapointed you didn't mention Scooby Apocalypse The weirdest thing in the whole franchise in my opinion lol

I just wish there was a mention of Mystery Inc somewhere in here. Definitely my favorite Scooby series.

I laughed so hard when I heard “Shaggy and Scooby have a disease”

I thought that everyone knew about all these series and theory’s. I’m starting to think maybe I’m a little obsessed with the whole franchise-

I think the Adams Family part was to point out that Monster definitely exist in Scoobies universe. Because not only does The Adams Family have real monsters in it. But so does the whole underground monster society that them and their extended family are part of.

i'm surprised mystery inc wasn't involved in it considering it's the darkest out of all the scooby doo series like the episode of people being eaten alive by cicadas

The cactus man in The New Scooby-Doo Movies is probably a Cactuar from the Final Fantasy franchise.

My guess for Scooby-Dee being on the list is that in the episode it’s stated that she’s Scooby-doo and Scooby-dums cousin. And they both are trying to win her over romantically, and whenever she kisses one the other gets jealous. It’s all kinda weird

What about scooby doo and the 13 ghosts and mystery incorporation

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.

The scobby doo factory episode does exist kinda its called Recipe for Disaster i don't remember them eating people but this could be what her memory was based on

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 gang is cursed.” See: Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated

Escape from the Coolsonian was my thing back in primary school, I think it might have been my first jump scare experience.

The cactus man entry is creepy for real. Not even given an explanation as to how that even happened.

“What most people think of when you say Scooby Doo” Me: I know you said it 2 seconds ago but I already forgot what it’s called. THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS THE BEST!!!

Scooby-Doo is not only my favorite cartoon of all time, but my favorite character and as a fan for probably 19 years now. The second I saw this, I immediately needed to watch this video to expand my knowledge of Scooby lore . Also, the gameplay you have was one of my favorite games to play on the PS2 😂

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. He's an absolute legend!

KZfaq 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.

The Cactus Man was clearly an SCP.

Also for the cursed costume theory. In the new series, Wonder Woman and Mystery Inc hunt down a minotaur. He stays in character even when Wonder woman is swinging a sword at him.

!!! Thank you! People keep forgetting Scooby Dee and Scooby Dum!!! They're Doo's cousins!

A little bummed that Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated wasn't anywhere on this list, that show was wild. I think it actually ended up putting the gang into the Cthulhu mythos by the end. God that show was good

I remember the Scooby Doo Project, I didn't understand it since I was a kid and didn't know about the Blaire Witch Project at the time.

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.

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.

The Great Depression theory actually is probably because the time it first aired, also love how you were playing Scooby Doo Night of 100 Frights!, I was just playing that before getting recommended this. Next with the disease theory, I personally think its just supposed to be basic humor. And the disappearing cactus man is just plain disturbing.

OH MY GOD i remember playing Escape From The Coolsonian when i was in elementry school in the library! That damned scared of that jumpscare spooked me so hard i remember awkwardly trying to show my the other kids in the class the game being like "it's gunna come any minute now"

I LOVE the scooby project. It's one of my favorite videos of all time and its so obscure and i think that makes it so much more creepy. although im kinda sad mystery inc (the 2010 show) wasn't added. it was so good and had so much lore and creepyness than (in my opinion) any of the other shows or movies.

The scooby snac factory episode is way tamer than like the one where they turned shaggy into like a cursed kaiju and have him wreck Tokyo, it’s just a fake set but they still get chased by the cops and arrested. That one was way better material for creepypasta than the scooby snac factory one

Regarding the "real monsters" part, I remember one of the "What's new Scooby Doo-era" animated movies actually had the very real version of the ghost someone else was impersonating show up at the very end of the movie, which gave me nightmares as a kid. I don't remember the name of the movie, but it was the one in an American Creek.

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

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.

10:56 The Mystery Inc gang shown here were actually designed off a show called "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis" (look it up, it's honestly BAFFLING to see the Mystery Inc gang in real life), and the gang originally were designed to look more or less like, "generic Hannah-Barbara human like characters (so, for example, Shaggy and Velma would have looked way less unique)

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.

In the zombie island movie fred tries to unmask a zombie but ends up pulling its head off or something i can't remember anyway thats probably what the real monsters entry is talking about

I'm here from reddit and oh my god I'm loving your content! :)

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.

This is so cool! One thing I thought would be on here that I can't find anywhere on the internet is the game show mini episodes. I remember watching them on CDs when I was younger. Like halfway through an episode a live action guy would pop up in a game show looking room and ask trivia questions about scooby doo (like multiple choice questions) then ask the viewer to answer them. I was wondering if anyone else remembers this?

i think the drug addict one is literally just in reference to the fact that he looks and acts like a stoner, i dont think that whole creepypasta is what the original author meant also shaggy hates his real name as has been stated in a few episodes across the various series so i dont think he'd be depressed at being called shaggy

Monsters and magic being real in the scooby doo universe actually explains why there are so many people faking monster attacks. Faking a haunting is essentially the same as burning down your own business for the insurance money in their world.

(THEORY:shaggy is a drug addict) I don't think shaggy is a drug addict but he does smoke weed like you said, the theory is backed up in the live action movie "Scooby-Doo the movie" where there's multiple references to weed, like where it looks like shaggy is smoking weed in the mystery machine but he's really just cooking on a grill.

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.

My man Scoob snackin' on the gang.

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.

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.

So when it comes to real monsters in the Scooby Doo universe is a different timeline when they met dean and Sam off supernatural

Wow! I actually lernt a few new things even though i'm a real Scooby Doo nerd. I heard about the ice berg but never saw the original post

Don’t forget Mystery Inc. The 🐐 Scooby Doo show imo. It had storylines, stakes, character development, mature themes, just the whole package.

What about the mystery of Scooby-Doo's voice? In the first episode of Scooby-Doo's airing, scooby is captured by men in black, and experimented on, giving him the ability to speak, and several other episodes feature the men in black. However, we are never given a reason as to why they did the experimentation, and it's never revealed who the men are or who they work for

Shaggy fighting bikers was a movie not the og series tho

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.

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.

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.

what about scoobynatural where the gang meet and know ghosts are actually real

I’m sure it’s addressed in part 2 but as far as I know some cases where the monsters were real: most of the originals , (Zombie Island, Witch Ghost, Alien Invaders,) There was a lot of supernatural references and events in Mystery Inc, and the live action movies

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.

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

God that "be cool scooby doo" show looks awful, visually it looks like a really really shit adult cartoon from like 2010 adult swim

Aren't we gonna acknowledge that be cool Scooby Doo has a family guy or an American dad art style

tfw you use shaggy's real name but forget to use scooby's real name: scoobert.

As a kid, my dad gave me all of his old Scooby Doo DVDs... and I mean ALL of them-- he had/has(never got rid of them) every single Scooby Doo ever released to DVD and even most of the only released on TV ones burned. I remember a lot of episodes where some of the ghosts turn out to be real. I still watch the DVDs sometimes, so it's not just hazy kid memory-- there really were some ghosts/monsters that just went unexplained. I guess I always assumed they were just other people in on the scheme? A weird thing I can't wrap my head around is the Giggling Ghoul. I even have a tattoo of it LMAO. I vividly remember the giggling ghouls to turn out unexplained, and maybe it's just a scratch or glitch on the DVD, but on the copy of my dads those two ghosts are unexplained. If you google the episode, however, it shows that they were the owners of the house. Possible DVD issue, possible iceberg mystery!

Well done. Nice to see you on KZfaq, tho.

Velma stole Sonic's shoes

Hmm, I feel like “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated takes place before Scooby-Doo Where are You?” Should have been somewhere on the iceberg

I know i'm late but in one of the original episodes shaggy talks to a living skeleton skull, which was infact a paranormal ocurrence
