You know it’s bad when you’re first thought is “what does this have to do with scooby doo?” 😭
Your*
Bruh the one time you’re is used, it’s used incorrectly 💀
This series is like everthing about sexy stuff not scooby doo
Right?! 😂
Well the shows called velma not scooby
Congratulations to Miss Mindy Kaling, who managed to transform four of the most charismatic and likeable characters ever created into four of the most annoying and insufferable characters in history.
At least she didn't get to ruin Scoob himself.
@@timothymarzelli3874 Dont give her any ideas
Her brain dead interpretation will not ruin the characters, it will just be a shitty, God awful project that she spearheaded. The characters were around long before she was born, and they will survive long after she dies, and her show will be long forgotten and slip into obscurity. The only way it will be remembered is to bring it up to ridicule and mock her. If anything comes out of this, it will be that she will always be remembered for this blunder.
It's not like she wrote them. She's a producer she isn't writing this. That being said everyone in the production is to blame for this.
@@BlackGirlMarvel She literally DEMANDED to have Velma turned into the cartoon version of her. All the shitty jokes the show tells were her demand. This talk that Fred on the show is a spoiled white boy who takes credit for other people's work was her idea, which is clearly the opinion of someone who never watched the classic Scooby-Doo. Removing responsibility for this freak show from her is denying reality, pal.
Fred was always a good guy and a good leader. There was no need to tear him down like this!
Mindy Kalling must of gotten snubbed by a "Fred" in school, and this is her revenge project.
That seems to be the consensus since it happens to every character she plays
It’s actually super insulting to make him a man child, when, if anything, he was actually the manpower of the whole group, creating all the traps they need to catch the villains.
Well in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo series Fred was an egotistical idiot there too, but way more tolerable.
@@osmanyousif7849 I'm not going to defend the show, but Mystery Inc made Fred pretty useless, too.
@@mage1439 hey hey hey, Fred's traps (in Mystery Inc.) did a lot too.
Scooby saw the first episode of this show and called his lawyers immediately to get him out of this shit
I mean I heard Warner didn't want the character to be associated with an adult show. Boy was that a wise decision!
To see nearly the entire internet unite against this show gives me hope for humanity, so there’s that.
I was so disgusted with this I went back and watched the Scooby Doo films with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Matthew Lillerad to clense my soul.
I agree with Neko King.
I am convinced that this show was *mathematically calculated* to piss everybody off.
Seriously, there is no other explanation as to how this show could be this bad
Eh, they'll just call you a hater, misogynist, racist and other stuff. You know, the usual procedure)
I knew the show was going to be bad but not this bad.
Just watching the trailer gave me PTSD.
There are people out there that are claiming review bombing 😂
Wokeness is bad
it is always THAT bad when any show reveals signs of these weirdo agendas in their trailers.
Now you know why most people hate on these type of shows... you all should have learned with Rings of Power and She Hulk
I was so disgusted with this I went back and watched the Scooby Doo films with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Matthew Lillerad to clense my soul.
I'm so glad that you took one for the team Mello.. so I don't have to watch this $#!+ for myself. Thank you!! 😘
Right!
Mello did not deserve to suffer through this! That's for sure!
You know this show's bad when it's driving Mel to drink
Even Twilight was a better time lol
Wendsday wasn't bad and he drank 2 bottles
@@shawol5253 …..oh dear God! You’re right….they actually made something that would make people actually appreciate Twilight now!!!!
My biggest issue is this show basically saw how well done the Harley Quinn show was done. Especially when it came to the satire of the characters. And this show took all the best parts of that show and made….this.
It’s really upsetting cause they definitely could’ve done a fun satire on this show. But this is just like a weird Mindy revenge porn fantasy. NO ONE IS LIKABLE!
Also why is shaggy not named shaggy? 😭
I just noticed in the 4 episodes there is no mention of his nickname shaggy, instead it looks like they are sticking with his actual name.😅 Maybe it would come up as an alternate name for himself during his streams since he's a youtuber who knows. What people should fund is the group who made their own live action version of Scooby doo on youtube that was really good
His government is Norville Rogers. I figured Shaggy would come along as the show did. But who knows?
If all the characters do not die by the end to be replaced by the real Scooby-Doo cast, I will be sorely upset.
The Harley Quinn show was done good? Are you fucking kidding me that show was an abomination and this is coming from a person who has a tattoo of Harley Quinn on his forearm
I have a theory that they are trying to make the moment where Norville becomes known as and starts acting at least somewhat like Shaggy to be some big reveal.
You paid the ultimate sacrifice, my dude. Suffering through this garbage so we wouldn’t have to. Much respect.
I laughed so hard when you said, "Why, because I'm black, what's wrong with that, I'm just standing here," 😆😅😂🤣
Never thought I'd see the day when Mell doesn't like something and is confused
can"t be stereotypical with Daphne when the show is making up there own stereotypes that don't even exist....which is somehow worse.
lol Yeah. Since when are lesbian cops being the best detectives a stereotype? wtf?
Somebody compared this to coming up with an inside joke that only you get and still use it when talking with others.
@@aino-kaisav5504 Nailed it!
@@deirdrestatham5730 I assume that since the writers clearly exist in this headspace of watching WAY too many movies and TV shows to be able to make so many reference jokes and invocations of meta humor, they just... don't understand how obscure most of it is.
@@TheAngryXenite Indeed. I had to google who Robert Durst was when they made a joke about him. No idea!
The entire show is a Mindy Kaling self insert fan faction, there's no hiding it.
Bro, this was PAINFUL to sit through, and I'm not even the one watching it. You have the patience of a Saint.
Loved Mel missing that the father was embarrassed for Fred asking for someone else to cut up his pancakes, not just having pancakes.
Is eating pancakes something to be embarrassed about?
Because it was a damn joke lml.... I know clearly why they were embarrassed, the boy was having a tantrum like a baby
@@metalmayhem3622no I just had pancakes for dinner tonight.
“This is MY story told MY way” should have been a huge clue this would suck
No Scooby in a “Scooby Doo” series is WILD
It's like them killing off he-man in masters of the universe. Bizarre.
Its good because they don't ruin him for us.
From what I've seen of this show so far, it's a huge embarrassment to the franchise. Just as well that Scooby isn't in it.
@@Caffin8tor for the sake of scoobs dignity, I'm glad he's not in it.😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage i think scooby died or retired
"The whole movie is about racism and I'm like bruh, can we please see Candy Man?" Lmao never change mel
You know the sad thing? Parts like the girl coming out of the bathroom stall, going to the sink while everyone paused show that they could have made something a lot better than they did.
I agree. Just keep the Austin Powers comedy style and done!
Fun fact:
This show, currently has an IMDb rating of 1.6/10
Dragonball Evolution has a rating of 2.7/10
Let that sink in....
OMG this is my favorite show of 2023 so far.
-Said no one ever.
Mel's gonna be like Critical Drinker when he finished the bottle
(Insert Tyrion vomit)
“F**k off, show….”
Or Possum
👍
This must be a version of Scooby Doo from another universe or something. There was a glitch in the matrix and somehow ended up in our reality. Right? Because, damn. Whoever green-lighted this show must be insane.
Twilight zone scooby. 🤣
@@TheRetroManRandySavage lol the question is where's Scooby-Doo....jeenkees that the real mystery
@@mr.imperial8721 zoinks! That's the real mystery, scoob.🤣
Maybe in this universe, right before preteen "Norville" was about to meet Scooby the stray puppy, preteen Velma ran Scooby over while joyriding in her parents' car.
Then she turned to the camera and said, "Gee, if this were a movie, that dog would've been important to the plot in an alternate universe! But f@$% that universe, it's gatekeeping me from having fun!"
It's enough to make me think there might be credence to the theories with Honey-Boo-Boo Guy.
Yeah, people don't understand that they will keep making garbage like this, if people keep hate watching it. They don't care about the press if the numbers come out in their favor. So they intentionally try to trigger hate watching.
It's not even for hate watching at this point. Even hate watch numbers aren't enough to justify these shows. It's about killing off everyone's connection to popular culture touchstones of their youth so they're less rooted in the present making their future more delectable to what they want.
Great reaction. Early on you said it look like they wanted to make a TV show and the executive said no, then they said let's make it Scooby-Doo related. That's what it feels like to me.
That Fresh Prince of Bel-Air shirt is awesome! 🔥🔥🔥
25:34 This kissing scene has no real build up unlike Harley Quinn, The Owl House, or hell even Adventure Time that all earn it.
Because like most woke bombs, like Santa Inc., the show treats itself as the climax to plot lines existing in the real world. To the writers, the Velma/Daphne kiss had decades and decades of "real build up." But the harsh truth is that while yes, these imaginary worlds and stories aren't real, fanfiction is _even _*_less_*_ real._ Anyone who watched the original shows and didn't share the headcanon of the new show's writers comes into it with normal expectations and leaves confused and frustrated.
I wonder who Mindy Kaling's actual Daphne and Fred were when she was a kid. I wonder if whatever girl she always wanted to kiss is out there, living her life somewhere, unaware that her old schoolmate is playing out these deep sexual fantasies about her on the world stage.
OMFG THANK YOU. I thought I was crazy about the Candyman movie because of how everyone reacted to how I felt, especially as a black woman. I watched to be scared just as much as get the message and we didn't see him at all. You expressed it perfectly!
You know how some black people can be, we can't criticize any of our own people to encourage them to be better without being called a Hater or a Coon. It's so stupid. People only liked the candyman sequel because it was basically a black movie.
Exactly I felt the same way, the new version was thoroughly underwhelming. I don't know who or why they think that we need race as a main topic in films constantly.
@@HelloMellowXVI glad to know we aren't alone!
@@Lilly-ud6qs there's no balance! The last time I saw a perfectly balanced movie between race and genre was Black Dynamite and that was just a wild movie🤣
What did they do to Candyman?
7:13 I laughed more during this reaction then this whole show so far 😂😂
Your tortured facial expressions made me even watching Velma via reaction worth it. Thank you
Imagine how less of a rating it would have had, if they didn't ride the coat tails of existing or recognisable characters?
I wouldn't be so sure about that, I think it would have been largely ignored so maybe spared the backlash. Most people are upset because it's just the last straw into turning well-known franchises into woke abominations.
It's because it's Scooby Doo that it is so bad.
If it was a random cartoon about new characters it would do fine.
@@fredwin "woke"
@@andreacherubini9632 Yes?
The problem is, this story wouldn't still be good even if it wasn't part of the Scooby Doo franchise. The plot is inconsistent and the mystery part feels shallow (the law system of this series is total crap since a person saying they "could have" done the crime is enough to prove them guilty). Most of the characters are mean-spirited with no likable personality traits. The "comedy" part isn't funny and relies on stereotypes or lazy meta humour (as somebody said: "just because you acknowledge your writing is shit doesn't change the fact that your writing is shit"). People wouldn't have hated it as much but it would still have been a bad show.
You made a great observation and point; the show does seem like it's fanfic gone horribly wrong 🤣🤣🤣
10:13 A LOT of people think this was an original story that no one wanted to make because it was garbage, so they added the "SCOOBY DOO" IP to sell it. It kinda makes sense.
I laughed so hard when you’re literally crying from pure exasperation as you take a sip of depression from 7:05 - 7:18.
Your in-between edits make even the worst garbage fest just a little more watchable. Thank you for your service. (and for the laughs 😂)
Bro, I wasn't going to watch this show as I'd heard it was utter garbage, but I won't let you go through this alone so I'll watch along with you.🤣👍
18:20 The wine was kicking in. 😭
if this were a new series it could probably work. But like a Scooby, not a chance, basically changed everyone's personality and even turned Velma into someone else
It's too mean and racist to work
but it's not just bad because it's scooby doo, it's bad because of the "jokes" and cringy trying-to-be-edgy stuff
@@indiesunflowers But unfortunately the new generation for some reason finds it "funny"
That Ron Swanson cut was perfect
Never been so embarrassed to be human. Thanks Mindy.
The roaches banging was the best part of this.
Thats what Mindy Kaling did to this show
that was the cringiest part for me...besides all the lines about race
fred jones was a golden retriever in a man's body and he always tried to understand other people and be kind espacially in the older movies from zombie island to the vampire in Australia
Didn't you know, cis het white men never do anything out of kindness or good character, it's always for unjust gain and abuse of power. And any that _are_ "good people" are only that way because they had the privilege of a prosperous family tree, which was stolen from people of color. So if they aren't actively making their number one goal simply to shut up, listen, and devote all their stolen resources to elevating minorities, then their "goodness" is really just a selfish front and they are actually _incredibly, unchangeably BAD,_ which we already knew because of their gender and skin color.
It's not sexism or racism, I swear! Would you like a pamphlet about Intersectionality?
Do you happen to watch Jello Apocalypse?
“I feel absolutely defeated.” 😂
When Mell has his wine on, I know the commentary is gonna be a BANGER!
This was written by a professional. Someone actually got paid for this. Let that sink in.
That ron swanson moment was perfect.
If only it worked that way.
We were all thinking it.
I knew there would be some blood and gore in the show from the trailer but I did not expect so much nudity, forced meta humor, and moments that ruin Scooby Doo. I don't know what I expected exactly, just something better than what I saw here.
I feel for you, Mello. I'm surprised you made it past the first episode.
Candyman caught a crazy stray LMAO damn chill
lol I was hurt
9:14 Mel's reaction was basically how everyone felt.
Someone else put it best, "we're living in the opposite of the renaissance right now."
I would suggest a drinking game but Mel would be passed out before the end credits
Forget the show... I think the most entertaining thing in this video is that awesome Fresh Prince shirt you're wearing.
Mystery Incorporated gave us their parents way before this.
Daphne's parents don't even recognize their own daughter in a baseball cap and shades. WTF?
Bruh the look of "Fuuuuck imma have to watch two episodes now" face had me dead 😂😂😂
Mell, you get my like on the video and my respect and gratitude but I can only do the first half with episode 1 of Velma, the show hurts too much. You're our hero
Had more fun watching this reaction and seeing the pain and torture in his face than I did thinking about watching the show.
Also I love how you're just swigging directly from the bottle.
Their "budding romance" is so forced lol. When we watched the original Scooby doo nobody thought of Velma and Dafney that way, not even in a joking way because Velma was a nerdy potato where Dafney was the cute girl who only had eyes for Fred. Now they're acting like they're some kind of item in this show.... Non of them even paid attention to Velma her being the odd one out, Fred and Dafney were into each other looking for excuses to run off with each other, and Shaggy was always out with his buddy looking to avoid scary things and finding snacks with Scooby, Velma was by herself not close to any of them.
I really like the return to the classic opening. I also like that the cuts in the reaction aren't nearly as deep and jarring. It's easier to follow along. I appreciate you covering this one. I had no idea things were this bad. I might have accidentally checked this out, out of curiosity. They seem pretty proud of their meta commentary, and it NEVER lets up. Like the kid in the Spider•Man HISHE I wanted to say, "Stop Narrating!" As usual, your editing is legendary. I don't mind when you insert yourself into the show. I'm not so sure about the creator, though.
I agree about your assessment. I think it applies to other reboots, too. Someone has a favorite script/story that they've been carrying around for a long time. They can't seem to get any traction out of it, so they find an old property that the studio owns, and cut & paste the characters in. The old show serves as a bag of puppets, to tell someone else's story.
As a kid i just grew up watching Scooby doo but now this is an adult comedy horror
It's amazing, I didn't think anything could possibly be worse than the "Rings of Power" and "She-Hulk".
I shouldn't have underestimated these people's ability to stand on the shoulders of giants so to spit on their heads.
Well, Rings of Power is really very good, and She-Hulk had a lot to say, artistically.
Lumping the three projects together says something.
@@jerrylouis8930 if you truly think any of these 3 shows is good, then I feel bad for you,because you must have watched garbage all your life 😔
@@jerrylouis8930 Ring of Power was garbage. It's not canon and it comes off more as a fan fiction project and not something Tolkien would actually approve. And She-Hulk was garbage too. Both spent too much time actively trying to spit on the fan base of the original works and established characters all in the name of diversity and female empowerment. Willow just pulled this same crap with the same exact results. It's like hiring someone that hates the source material, but expecting them to do it justice and bring in both new and old fans.
@@havec6866 I said ONE of them was good, and two of them are artistically valid.
Any of them are more entertaining than the sanctimonious attitude you have brought to this thread.
@@akiraxtreme sanctimonious. No one cares.
All I wanted from She-Hulk was for her to walk around being She-Hulk, not my perfect fantasy of She-Hulk. (Because healthy individuals have no perfect fantasies of She-Hulk.)
you know this was probably made by someone who HATES scooby-doo.
AYO! That Fresh Prince shirt is fire bro. Great video as always!
I think we're gonna need something stronger than wine for the rest of this. Me, I'm getting out the Rhum Barbancourt.
New subscriber haven’t even got past your intro subed right away! you are hilarious I cannot wait for the rest of this video!
Seeing Mell start talking after five seconds of the intro, only for that intro to drag on for another forty whole seconds was delightful. Fuck this show.
If Mindy Kaling has a career after this fucking disaster, I'll be amazed.
The GREATEST REACTION lol hilarious as always my man
Wait wait let me get my shot glass cheers 🍻 lol and I also got my water lol😂 but seriously I’m at a toss up if I wanna watch it all the way through but I just couldn’t 😂😂 but watching with you worth it 😊😊
Literally had to watch this in stages even though Mell's reactions are amusing.
I feel you Mel: I couldn’t have watched this shit sober either.
This is what happens when you have show runners who actively hate both the source material and the fan base.
Me: *See’s the cover of this video* “Yeah. That’s about right.”
I think it's good that Fred went to prison so he can grow up without people doing things for him.
you know i like this show a lot more with your commentary LMAO 😂
Lmao bro you a kool ass dude! Ive been thinking about doing this show on my channel! Im glad i found yours, this shit entertaining! Def Subscribed
Man what they've been doing to everyone's childhood Heroes and childhood favorite shows and stuff is just sad disrespectful and disgraceful I feel like they do it now just to make people mad just to be trolls with money making Troll shows
It's not even just to make money. They want to kill everyone's connection to pop culture touchstones of their youth. Destroy people's connections to their past and they have less to root themselves to in the present so they can have their futures more directed.
@@jessecortez9449 yea in their Direction Maybe.
If this is meant to appeal to the group I think it is, that is a swing and a miss by the widest margin I have ever seen.
Edit: Also, looking at the thumbnail, I sincerely thought that was a bottle of olive oil lol
What sucks is with this show being crap is that they most likely won’t allow another adult theme, like why couldn’t they have done Scooby-Doo gang v. Ghostface or a straight up murder case
"scooby-doo where are you?" is a call for help now.
Imma give you this like just for that video title sir. Respect the grind bro!
Looks like Mindy finally broke Mel
I couldn't make it through the whole episode, Kudos to you my dude.
Word of advice, whether to react or just to see it, watch Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated after this. Think of it as detox, an actually good entry in the franchise to cleanse you of this painful experience
0:45 Oh snaps! This is going to be insane 😂
The worst thing about this show is there’s no Scooby Doo at all, the mascot of the entire franchise
Wow, just wow. Thanks for stepping up to take this one so we don't have to.
1. Mindy must have gotten burned by a “Fred” in school.
2. Mindy must have had a thing for a “shaggy” but they never noticed her.
I am absolutely in awe of how bad this is.
4:55 Bro, that off the cuff joke was better than anything in the show
if you want to watch a scooby--doo origin story that actually has scooby-doo and is quite funny, i recommend mystery incorporated :)
I'm not even giving this show a chance. So thank you for taking the bullet for me 😂
fuck the show review, i got so geeked when you did the introduction!!!!! i ALWAYS participate lol glad to see you brought it back, if only for this video i'm not ashamed to say i did miss you doing it lol but if we're talking how bad the show is.... they basically threw all the "modern" cartoon shit at a wall and hoped it stuck but it just slid right down into the trash where it should've stayed... it's like they're trying to give BIG MOUTH but it ain't giving nothing but shit lol
Has Mindy Kaling ever made anything funny herself? Like outside of the office, has she ever done anything good? She was somehow unfunny on Always Sunny which I didn't think was possible.
thank you for your service mello
1:14 For people like me, the problem isn't race or gender swapping, it's the fact that it's used to deflect criticism of shitty media. It's essentially a tactic to go "OUR MOVIES NOT BAD YOU'RE JUST RACIST AND SEXIST!!!!!!"
the only idea Mindy Kaling had was "why not make Velma and indian girl like me?" and then the ideas stopped there. i really like the character designs, especially Norville. but he is such WASTED POTENTIAL.
10:05 I feel the same exact way about that Candyman remake bro
