"And a bad Velma is a BAD Velma"
Aged well, huh?
Mmmm, yep
THATS WHAT I SAIDDDDD
💀💀 we didn't even see it coming
Can say that Again
He tried to warn us.
Fred’s catchphrase is “Alright Gang!” Because the gang, and his friends, are what is truly important to him.
What a chad
Vin Diesel vibez
It’s unorthodox, it can’t be used as the others, but it’s the purest of them all
Absolute king
It's about drive 😤
"I don't think Fred knows what s*x is. I think Fred imagines you throw a net up in the air and hope you catch a stork."
"Fred is a lawless god in a forsaken land!"
"There's not a malicious bone in his perfect Tonka-truck body."
This. This is Fred and it's why we love him so.
you don't have to censor "sex"
Fred was hella horny in the live action ones tho lol he said “dorky chicks like you totally turn me on too” or something like that to Velma
@@Just.Kiddingsex is fine. It’s that number between five and seven that we’re terrified of
He is not capable of Wrong.
Only Oops. 🌙
"Fred does not say fuck"
As far as Velma’s sexuality. I just want Bi Velma. It makes all of it work canonically. Also it means she tends to like her girls smart and her boys dumb as bricks and I find that hilarious
Too true of a trait
"A bad Velma is the worst thing that happened to Scooby-doo" aged like fine wine
More like milk . because I didn't want it to happened
@@yuvalgabay1023 The line aged like wine, it is the property that aged like milk
Trueeeee, jeeezzz
Omigod you're right
I’m still trying to lobotomize the memory of just the 1st episode out of my head. Scooby help the people who watch all of it.
I... I remember flimflam
Wow never thought I'd see you here
i honestly assumed everyone did until watching this video, and now i’m worried o_o’
Is it bad that I don't and 13 ghosts was one of my favorites?
I remember him too
Same, am in fact a lunatic who still watches scooby doo
Daphne and Fred being a stable couple has so much more room for comedy, like how their friends are always there when they're trying fo be romantic, even if they're on a romantic holiday.
And Fred doesn't understand what Daphne wants for her birthday but she ends up liking his weird wacky contraption because it's cute that he tried.
Fred gets captured and is being lowered over a lava pit but hes completely unconcerned because his girlfriend is batman and it starts to scare the villain.
Daphne and Fred having an argument and Scooby, Shaggy and Velma are just watching them like it’s a soap opera 😂
No, Fred would be critiquing the Villain’s work while casually mentioning how easily Daphne will tear through it, often with incredibly prescient timing.
Villain: say goodbye to your precious life!
Fred: why?
Villain: …you’re tangling over LAVA?!
Fred: and your bouta be killed by my love💙
Villain: wha- *gets suplexed*
Daphne: hi sweetie🩷
I think the "Fred has a Netflix account" is a funny way of saying he's the one thing that's keeping them all together and is the reason they keep coming back, cause at the end of the day, they can all come together and watch some Netflix together
Fred honestly should be the thing that drives the team. Both literally in that he is the only one the drives the car but also as a leader it’s kinda his job to push them. He should be the first one to put himself into danger and he should also b the one to lift up the rest of the team. Telling shaggy to be brave, nudging Velma to directions for clues and then switch that dynamic for him and Daphne
He just doesn’t understand you have to pay for it.
The only reason Scooby can get away with all of his antics is because dogs can’t be tried for acts of domestic terrorism
Exactly
This actually made me laugh my ass off
However they can be awarded military ranks and medals. Dogs can only be given praise, no punishment.
@@enbyjamie3300 All Dogs go to Heaven had a grain of truth to it.
Dog-mestic terrorism.
"Velma is the smart one, Daphne is the people person, and Fred has a netflix account" that line killed me
Scooby: Fred and chill?
And yet he doesn't believe in Mystery Gang polycule
Fred is the one with the car
no fred is the one that says fuck
fred never uses it himself, but he keeps it around so that shaggy can watch silly b-movies legally. (cause you never know what new trick he can learn)
Funnily enough, "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" actually has similar traits to what JelloApocalypse wants in a likeable Velma. In that show, she had practically no social skills and was super eager to solve mysteries with her friends and was so involved in the mystery she wasn't afraid of anything. Her only real drawback was that she barely spoke at all.
I think that was one of her strongest traits.
To me, she wasn't just a quiet kid, she was THE quiet kid. She won't say a thing unless she thinks it's important, and the gang knows it. When she talks, EVERYONE listens.
And on top of that, she has extreme gadgets and vehicles (like a family sized rocket skateboard) they can use in emergencies. And when she uses them, she gets a concerning intense look about her.
Edit: Also she's legitimate nice to all her friends, a rare thing for Velmas. And the friendship moments between her and Scooby are just precious.
Honestly, the fact she didn't speak much made her seem smarter. Kinda like Onua from Bionicle. when she spoke, you knew it was going to be something really smart.
I think "a pup named scooby doo" also has the traits he wants in a likeable scooby
Hope everyone is doing good and staying safe ❤
Additionally I also like how in the 90s movie series (zombie island) she has an active interest in the paranormal and supernatural and would actively study it (so she wasn’t just completely skeptical) which I think is an interesting trait for her
I actually like the idea of Daphne not knowing the difference between spiders and scorpions. Like she's still a hypercompetent badass with a minor psychotic edge, but she doesn't care what bug it is because she already knows she hates it anyway.
I love how you decided to say “what bug it is” after using spiders and scorpions as examples, because that pretty much encapsulates your point right there.
@@normalpeoplelikeme I object to the use of Bug to mean "true bugs" as that group of insects have other names, and 90% of the English speaking population use the definition referring to all small invertebrates.
Basically just because nobody is using "bug" to mean "true bugs" as the venn diagram of (people who can both correctly name the order to which true bugs belong and identify any given insect as part of that order) and (people who would just use the more precise species names to avoid ambiguity) is a circle. Essentially, as a word to describe all small invertebrates that vaguely resemble true bugs it has a clear use and purpose as a stand all word used in a context where the actual species is not known nor important. Whereas, as a word used to describe specific insects that most people can't identify and those who can would use a more precise word for, it is a completely useless word.
@@alexjames7144 Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that you changing it arbitrarily has any weight. Scorpions and spiders are arachnids, get over it. And people do not use "bug" as a catch-all word for small invertebrates, because that would include microscopic invertebrates, I've never met anyone who's looked at a tardigrade and said "That's a bug." Now that's a very specific example, and my experiences are personal and very limited, but my overall point still stands.
@@normalpeoplelikeme I have personally seen many people refer to them as bugs, I'm not changing it arbitrarily myself based on personal preference. That's just how it's used. I also did specify that it's usually invertebrates vaguely similar to true bugs that get called bugs, you're just being pedantic.
I do vet med, we study a lot of parasites, some of which are true bugs and some of which aren't. They all get called bugs, even sometimes by the lecturers because it's not a particularly scientific term so it doesn't matter if it's not used with the original definition in mind. And nobody ever felt the need to be pedantic and cry about them not being true bugs. Definitions change over time, with the general use of a word.
It's not even specific to scorpions and arachnids, invertebrates are diverse and true bugs make up a small percentage even just of all insects. The exact line of what are and aren't true bugs isn't universally agreed, because scientists have better things to do and the word is a loose descriptor that they don't use in academic settings.
@@alexjames7144 Jesus you really pulled 3 paragraphs out to defend yourself huh. Yeah, I didn't notice you specified invertebrates similar to true bugs. Would it make you feel better if I apologized? I'm sorry for questioning you, and for poking fun at you calling spiders and Scorpions bugs because I thought it was incorrect and Daphne would do that kind of thing because she doesn't care, unlike you, who clearly cares too much. Though that last bit is just me being salty.
"Fred is NOTHING...and that means Fred can be ANYTHING."
This may be the most Unraveled thing you've ever said, Jello

"-Shaggy goes along with Mystery Inc. because he genuinely loves mysteries, and Scooby goes along with Shaggy because he loves Shaggy." That's actually moving.

When Scooby Doo one day hits the public domain, I really hope you'll write a Scooby Doo story
That'd be great, but man, do I wonder if Disney will ever allow copyright to be a thing that companies actually need to let go of. Though SOME noteworthy things have actually entered the public domain in recent years, I admit.
To be fair someone can make a scooby doo they just can’t monetize it
well a quick google search says that it will enter public domain in 2059 at the earliest, more if Disney prolongs it more which they certainly will. Hang on there Jello
@@LuneWatcher IIRC, Disney can't lobby congress anymore to push the copyright law since that will get them in trouble
I like the idea that Fred is both a genius and an idiot. He's really good at puzzles and probably even math and equations, but nothing else.
I think that’s actually a thing. Pretty sure the term is “Idiot Savant.”
i like to think of it like hes the kind of person who can solve a complicated math problem off the top of his head without thinking about it but the moment you ask him to show how he got that answer he just freezes
Yes
High intelligence low wisdom
Given how he drives the mystery machine and sets up the traps, I see him as being more mechanically minded, good at math and physical machenery.
a grown man in his thirties in a Daphne cosplay nitpicking the lack of heathy couples in media inside a nearly hour long scooby-doo video essay is a strange thing to behold but now I feel complete
Well... when you put it like that, it seems a bit weird.

Right? It's like... such a important thing for me for no reason. Like, I loved this show, and that whole rant is something I've never knew I wanted. Even though Velma was almost my fav I think. No. Wait
Fuck
You can't spell "friend" without "in Fred" because we've all got a friend in Fred
Yes, her name is Daphne
@@disgustof-riley8338 you are not getting the praise you deserve you clever son of a bitch, this made me gafaw aloud
I feel like we’re missing a little part of shaggy that is that he is canonically rich (in shows other than mystery incorporated) but he doesn’t flaunt it, then again so is daphine and neither does she well to a extent. Shaggy is very much humble about it too.
I think with Shaggy it's usually more that he comes from a well off family than that he himself is rich. Like, his parents are upper middle class or something and then they send him on his way to go be in the army or a janitor or a cook or something. They still like him and support him, but he's his own adult and not some dynasty kid. Thaaaat is usually more where Daphne is, the obscenely rich.
@@SolarFlairIsBestPony i believe that’s mystery incorporated shaggy which is valid as fuck. I was more referring to shaggy and scooby meet the boo brothers (honestly a really fun movie) and that odd cartoon they had where scooby got super powers from eating scooby snacks, there have been a few where he becomes rich from inheritance or other means and yet still the loveable shaggy. However you made a very good point.
Fred should love the most random things and should always “know a guy”
Bonus points if they're all like, VISIBLY the same dude in different hats but Fred swears blind that they're different people up until the finale, at which point it is revealed that Fred is just in with this huge fanily of near-identical guys with wildly different skill sets
@@mrcephalopod thats amazing
@@mrcephalopod I would watch that series
You literally described muscle man
bill cipher "i think i know a guy"
My favorite obscure skill of Shaggy's is from "What's New Scooby-Doo" when he's an absolute mini-golf champion
I remember that episode. It was great because Shaggy became both the fred and velma, and they were feeling out of place because they didnt know what to do.
@@nickchavez720 i remember that! Shaggy was also super brave that episode and everyone was just so freaked out by the change
@@nickchavez720 best part is that velma was basically shaggy because the monster was a giant clown, which is apparently one of her greatest fears
What’s New Scooby Doo is one of the best versions tbh
@@skykrasher4475 Yeah, but Mystery Inc. is better.
If I were to make a "perfect" Velma it would be as "the believer"; she's the kid (people forget that Velma is a few years younger than the rest of the gang) that actually believes in things like cryptids and ghosts and stuff and she would contribute by actually knowing the folklore of the local ghost legend or monster or whatever. Sure she would be disappointed when it is proven to be a hoax but she'd always be excited for the next mystery.
Til Velma is a few years younger than the gang. But I love your Velma too. Just, pure, wholehearted passion for spooks and myths. ❤
@@alexysrose8805 Technically, she's only 1-2 years younger!
Shaggy and Fred are 17, Daphne is 16, and Velma is 15.
That is still a Sophomore, a bigger difference than you think!
@@MintyBingusSource?
@@liesebeam8910 I first read it in an old Scooby magazine. Google should tell you the same thing
At the VERY VERY end of Mystery Inc. when everyone else is shocked about the final reveal and saying their catchphrases, Fred says "Hold the phone!" I kid you not, this happens RIGHT after everyone else says their iconic lines in sequence.
That's it. Mystery solved. Fred's catchphrase is "Hold the phone!" He's just too much of a himbo to remember to say it
"Velma's the smart one, Daphne is the people person, and Fred has a Netflix account." Is probably the best description I've heard of the Mystery Inc ever.

Scrappy is that kid brother who's not allowed to go near sugar
“But what does Shaggy bring to the table?”
“… Sex appeal.”

I am a fisheries grad student. This is 100% accurate. Big emphasis on the pokemon reference
I had to stop the video and laugh for a little bit.
I am dying for Lethal Daphne that chills out as soon as Golden Retriever Fred is on screen, and he’s like her little sunshine that she must protect at all costs
Shaggy being into mystery solving and/or the horror genre, in general, is a character trait that is not utilized in nearly enough. He can still be an anxious mess while there is a threat lurking around, but when he is comfortable and in a safe location, he should be the one throwing out Reddit conspiracy theories and horror B-movie trivia that make him sound insane, but actually turn out to aid in solving the case.
"What is Shaggy there for?"
According to many of the series' lore, Shaggy's there cuz he owns the Mystery Machine.
This
Yep
So that's why it looks like a hippie van
So, technically, they're all crashing on HIS couch.
@@wizendwolf well technically in one of the show's it looks like that because before mystery inc it was owned by a banned called the mystery kids who's keyboardist died
“What does Fred say?”
“Fred says ‘traësure’”
“HE DOES!”
I thought Jello was gonna say Fred’s catchphrase should be: Oh… oops
Fred had a catchphrase in mystery inc: hold the phone
Fred says fuck
@@barockobummer2448 HE DID NOT
@@doom7850 No. But he DID say "one sick son-of-a-bitch!" in an early episode of Family Guy that I'm pretty sure went into production before the Scooby Franchise got revived (even though it aired _after_ Zombie Island).
The only reason it worked is because they actually got Frank Welker to do it.
And then they gather around it like "WORM WORM WORM WORM"
Perfect. So perfect.
I think the most important thing you need to do with the Mystery Inc. characters is to make them all like each other. These guys are a group of very weird teenagers with a niche interest that nobody else has who also are absolutely insane and go digging into capitalist hoaxes with their big cute talking dog because they're obsessed. They like each other more than anybody else because they get each other. Everybody else puts up with Shaggy being a stoner or Fred being a himbo or Daphne being a bloodthirsty girlboss or Velma having no social awareness or Scooby being a DOG THAT FREAKING TALKS because they like each other and they understand each other in a way nobody else does. Any Mystery Inc. that doesn't feel like friends is not a real Mystery Inc. in my brain. Another great reason to watch Mystery Incorporated. Nobody else in this town likes them. Okay, maybe like four other weirdly mystery obsessed people like them, but for the most part everybody else is weirded out at best and actively malicious at worst. They are friends.
Scooby: "Ru oh"
Shaggy: "Zoinks"
Velma: "Jinkies"
Daphne: "Jeepers"
Fred: "Traps"
Fred: "LeT's SpLiT uP gAnG!!!"
Scientists: worm! worm! worm!
Ah, I see that Fred supports femboys, like the good guy that he is
Dang it, I still don't have a catchphrase.
i think it's "let's split up and look for clues"
"He is not capable of wrong, only of oops" is SUCH a gold line, I want to embrace whoever wrote that.
I paused and scrolled down to find the comment praising it 😆 sooooo gooood
I love how both Fred and Shaggy are the “who gives a shit do whatever they’re a cowboy now” characters and it always makes sense
“And a bad Velma is like, a BAD Velma”
*Foreshadowing*
“Fred Jones: Human Golden Retriever”
The best description of Fred
Yup. XD
Basically, Mr. Peanutbutter.
Ah, yes. Pure of heart, and dumb of ass.
Now I want Scooby series were Scooby is human while rest of gang is dogs.
“himbo”
...Who's here after Velma and wished they listened to this golden maniac?
Me :)
me
Should have listened.
Me myself and I
They made Fred dumb but also annoying and unkind, while he repeatedly says fuck. Literally ruined him.
I love the fact that the described "perfect" Velma is basically just Entrapta from She-Ra 2020, like the similarities are definately there just based on the concepts raised
honestly really like that characterization though, I'd totally be up for more characters like that
“How does one describe Fred? Human?”
Velma writers: No
“Ascot?”
Velma writers: No
“White?”
Velma writers: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN RIGHT NOW!
For me, Fred's catchphrase is "c'mon, gang." He's the glue in the group, the popular kid in school that had friends in every clique. I think a good portrayal of Fred shouldn't be unintelligent, just straightforward and friendly, which enables him to mediate between the quirkier personalities in the cast and help them work together as a team.
Fred's catchphrase is fuck
I think Fred should be the dull but smart character. He has a huge hand in the traps they make and generally wants to get into some type of hands on gig, and he'll tell everything he knows to the wrong guys if they get him talking about his interests in tinkering. But he's genuinely a kindhearted guy who thinks that anyone can be friends and always makes sure to pull out his hand for anyone in need. Again, anyone can also mean bad people. He does not need to be keen to be smart.
"C'mon gang." That's a perfect catchphrase for Fred. Every other catchphrase is a reaction, he's should to proactive.
The best Fred catchphrase ever is- "Its trapin time" from mistery inc. 😂😂😂
@@bilicdebili2274 No no, you're just asking to get copyrighted by the 'Power Rangers'.
Disagree on making Daphne as into booby traps as Fred. Okay so hear me out, they're a booby trapping couple, but Fred's the one who's really into it while Daphne is there because she likes sharing Fred's passion and doing something together. She DOESN'T secretly hate trapping, she's legitimately having a fun time, but the fun is from spending time with her significant other, not the traps, that's actual healthy couple energy. If Daphne is alone, she'll skip the traps and go for a straight up garrotte or something suitably casually Murder-Daphne with an air of casualness about it that both makes it clear she's not "just putting up with" the traps, but also is a little bit of a psychopath.
I can imagine a joke set up where Daphne helps Fred put up this comically impossible trap to stop the villain, but she knows it won’t work. And the whole episode stops being about catching the villain and more about setting up a secret plan under the much goofier plan to make it ‘seem’ like Fred’s trap caught the bad guy, when in actuality it was Daphne behind the scenes making sure everything went as planned.
@@PineappleLiar villain and villain henchman whos-secretly-in-control vibes !!!!!!! i love it
@@PineappleLiar why do I feel like that has happened before?
i actually tend to think instead of helping fred with the traps ,she instead whenever the gang gets caught in trap she helps by getting them out because she learned by just being with fred
@@armedjaquar It's pretty common in scooby doo for the trap to not work the first time and more often than not from what I remember not work the way they wanted it to the second time, trending twords everyone but Fred working around the trap not working in a way that makes it work, then Fred is happy. This kind of energy would work really well both with Murder Daphne and with Skillmonkey Shaggy, because there are plenty of niche skills that you could deus ex into looping back around into making a failed trap an accidentally successful one, or to make a modular trap that Shaggy can control dynamically via marionette strings because he has a weird puppet hobby going on or can contact juggle odd objects and that control over throwing weird stuff lets him chuck something with a weird arc right into a lynchpin in a trap that failed, or throwing his voice to cause a quick moment of confusion and distraction if they notice the trap isn't properly set up, fun stuff like that where he can save the day while Daphne fixes the trap that Fred is too much of a himbo to realize there's a flaw in.
In the trap making and springing dynamic I don't see obsessively dorky Velma contributing much other than calculations, predictions based on probability, suggesting that a rope have an anti-ghost lacquer on it that causes the trap to break in the first place just because she wanted to make sure that if it was a ghost they couldn't phase their way through anything, and being unwitting bait or a catalyst for the trap itself if they wanna make like a glue bomb that traps them and Velma's so enamored by the ghost that she's actually chasing the capitalist in a mask because she wants to get a closer look at the specimen and he doesn't wanna be caught. It has potential but honestly you can't really overuse these things or else Velma becomes more of a problem addition that enables crazier and more unlikely Fred traps while ruining perfectly good ones since the ghost, ghoul, or furry probably isn't going to be real unless it's a movie.
“…Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, Dog…” he didn’t have to do my man Scoob like that
Honestly, homie could convert to only Scooby content
So long as he does it in this format, I'd watch the shit out of it
Specially since I've already watched this one 8 times
Same 😅
"He is not capable of wrong. Only oops."
I have not laughed so hard in a good long while.
Fred is a good wholesome boy so it makes sense, he does not know bad
That single line almost made me pee a little.
Fun Fact: Fred actually doesn’t own the Mystery Machine, Shaggy does. We know this because every time the gang has broken up, Shaggy keeps the Mystery Machine. Also, it does make a lot of sense, given Shaggy’s parents are absolutely loaded, while Fred’s family are of average wealth.
They did a whole show where Shaggy inherits a whole ass mansion from his supposedly dead uncle.
@@GeorgeMarionerd you mean 'shaggy and scooby doo get a clue'
@@royt_1495 Yis
@@GeorgeMarionerd I have such a soft spot for that show, but based on its own merits, since it's basically an unrelated spin off that happens to star Shaggy and Scooby. The character designs for the gang were my favorite part. Very 2000s in an appealing way.
(Referring to Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue)
As long as we never mention Get a Clue's Opening Theme, we're fine. That's the one objectively bad part that I always skip.
I'm all for Fred saying treasure as a catchphrase, but I'd also like to propose whenever fred is truly caught off guard, he should say the quietest, politest, with a slight beginning pause "goodness gracious!"
hands down one of my favorite video essays; the costumes, the multi cam shots, the script, the passion it’s all there i watch this video at least once a week and i never get tired of it! absolutely amazing
One thing about Daphne that I always thought could be utilised more is her interest in fashion. A hobby like that implies knowledge on fabrics and measurements. While Fred makes the traps and Velma is looking to establish a motive, Daphne could be the one who figures out how the monster costume operates and who could be wearing it. Thus proving that girly things can be useful, which is an overdone message, but still effective.
Elle Woods shows this in the beginning of “Legally Blonde”, she asks about a particular stitching for a dress the saleswoman tries to scam her into buying. Then tells her that not only is it not possible with this type of fabric, she also remembers seeing that dress in last year’s collection.
Daphne could be a total cosplay geek, explaining how to make cool functional costumes that’ll make a practical effects specialist want to weep from pure joy
@@Grim_Sister This concept was actually in an episode of Mystery Inc. incorporated! Too bad it wasn't explored again.
@@Grim_Sister Elle literally solved a murder using her knowledge of cosmetics. She always found a way to use her traditionally girly interest as stepping stones to make serious moves in life.
i remember a scooby doo where are you episode (i think that's what it was anyway), where daphne dates the fabric of clothes to find what century the villain was from
Plus, that stuff requires a VERY good attention to detail. Velma may find hidden clues, but Daphne is able to get the eact measurements and materials that would be needed to get through a secret tunnel without scraping the walls
Shaggy as the skill monkey is so true. Like the amount of times they'll be chasing something like a yeti at a skii resort and Shaggy will end up blundering into competing in the global skii jumping grand finals only to then be used as bait is staggering.
I love the word "skill monkey" lmao
13:11 also Shaggy being a line cook would fit the best out of any job they could give him. I have met so many shaggy-esque line cooks
I think one of my favorite takes on the Scooby Gang is actually in the Supernatural crossover episode, funny enough... Seeing the characters slowly break down as they come to terms with actual monsters is so good, especially the way the writers turn their characteristics (ie, Velma being a nerd or Fred liking traps) into them spiraling, which is actually showcased the best with Fred, where he starts out with his normal booby traps but as he learns more and more from Sam and Dean, he ends up spiraling down a rabbit hole of more and more complex traps involving the Supernatural show's gimmicks until he's just completely lost it, because nothing is working like he expects
You know, I would like a Velma who dedicated her life to proving ghosts are real, but has become so disillusioned by the constant fake ghost reveals that she stops getting her hopes up, but you can tell that deep down she still believes in ghosts and wants so hard to prove their existence. You could also use that as a plot point.
I heard a comment that said that a plot episode could be Velma capturing a Ghost or monster and then she gets into madness to really abuse that creature to prove that ghosts and monsters still exists and then in the end she ends up freeing the creature
Like in 1408, but less horrific
@@maxschechter4156 it's a movie?
@@Eric-py8yy yes, but I think I meant to say Grave Encounters
So.... you mean a female Ryan Bergara?
i kinda wish they did girly girl daphne like an elle woods: almost encyclopedic knowledge of fashion that kinda bleeds into the ventriloquist shaggy where seemingly useless talents help solve the mystery, if that makes sense. Like she will see footprints and be like “that’s the 1995 prada wedge but the toe box on the left shoe is slightly less defined in the print so they REALLY can’t walk in heels” *cue hair flip*
Honestly I would agree on this
And as an add on
May I suggest her being able to just identify what a fabric is? Like they find a scrap of fabric from someone's outfit and she's just like "oh that's so and so fabric with a so and so thread count typically used for these specific outfits" and says how they're supposed to be washed ya know?

I'd kinda love it if the next new Scooby-Doo series had an episode where there's a hot vampire lady and Velma is immediately smitten with her and the rest of the gang think she's been hit with vampire hypnosis, only to capture the vampire at the end and have it turn out not to be a real vampire and Velma was just being _extremely_ gay lol

Hi
Dumb, oblivious, f r i d g e
gentle is absolutely wrong
So a himbo
I think that shaggys showdown is a hidden gem in the franchise, it may not be the best but scooby is such a loving dog in that movie and he’s very sweet and funny, like how he sings by howling instead of singing by just using words. It’s also really clear that shaggy is happy to help out in some sense
A trait of Daphne that appeared a couple of times only to be mostly forgotten is that she believes in the supernatural. This happened a couple of times but is more prominent in the _Zombie Island_ movie, where Daphne gets.the gang back together for her trip trying to find a real haunted house or cryptid or curse; in that movie Daphne is kind of the leader and Fred is her lancer, the Scully of her Mulder. The dynamic of the group there is:
*- Daphne believes in the supernatural and wants to know more about it*
*- Shaggy believes in the supernatural but is affraid of it so he doesn't want nothing to do with it*
*- Velma doesn't believe in the supernatural but is open to consider it*
*- Fred doesn't believe in the supernatural and its very stubborn about denying it*
*- Scooby-doo is a dog*
When you said "you could do anything with Fred" I bet you didn't expect the new writers to take that in literally the worst way possible.
Right? not even just Fred they butchered all the characters but especially him and Velma. I can completely buy Daphne being a popular bitchy character, but Velma going from a lovable nerd to an over combative mean pickme self insert of Mindy, and Fred a misogynistic whiney white kid type? it just doesn't work. Fred being a rich Mamas boy can work but don't make him a genuine POS. Shaggy? whos that?
Jello had one requirement. Make him kind and they failed at that simple task DX
@@ErieMyri This is why I went back to watch mystery incorporated again

Amazing, isn’t it? The writers managed to fail in every aspect:
Velma isn’t funny or smart, just frumpy
Daphne is just a mean popular girl
Shaggy is a boring straight edge dude
Scooby doesn’t even exist
And Fred, our sweet himbo, is an asshole.
Congratulations, writers. You have shat the bed so hard, even the floor is soaked
I want a Velma who gets disappointed that the ghost ended up being old Mr. Hinkle. Like she's happy they solved the mystery but she REALLY wanted it to be a real ghost and the rest of the gang have to cheer her up like "Don't give up, Velma. Maybe the next one will be a real ghost." "You think so?" "Hey, stranger things have happened."
Yes
I want a Velma who's my girlfriend in the real world
That’s just zombie island but with daphne instead 😂
@@kaiju2296 chill out. i feel your horny aura from here
And Marcy comforts Velma the most because supportive gf.
I say Fred should be the guy who’s obsessed with building stuff. He’s the mechanic. He likes the mystery machine because he’s the one who repairs it, he likes traps because he can build them in whatever convoluted way he wants, he he increasingly confusing costumes because he like the convoluted construction of them, it’s perfect
"A bad Velma is a BAD Velma."
This man is a prophet.
"WhY wOuLd We LoOk FoR gHoStS wHeN wE cAn LoOk FoR fReNcH tOaSt?" had me reeling. Not only is that exactly something they would say in that exact style, but the uncanny voice of a 30 year old male impersonating a hippie and his dog chuckling about french toast had me dying.
He does the voice so well!! I would watch a full video of him just impersonating Shaggy and Scooby
@@esanchez1906 that would be hilarious.
5:29 it’s here
He laughs from his shoulders and I’m impressed
... I genuinely thought he was using audio from the actual show until I read this comment, it's so accurate
For Fred, I'd officially like to suggest that he just has an obsessive personality. Like, every episode or so he just gets into a new 'phase' that he's fully into, and then at the end of the episode he just goes 'well x was lame anyway". That was his chaotic energy can be preserved.
Thats what be cool scooby doo did for Daphne
And I hated it...
So, what they did with Daphne in Be Cool
@@ProptimusPrime777, Well I’m sorry but I think your wrong, that was my favourite running gag of the show.
FRED IS JUST ME WHAT THE FUC,
Or he just crams research before each mystery. Like, in one of the movies he almost kind of spoke Spanish. So he keeps on saying things that are almost true
Mystery Incorporated is THE BEST Scooby Doo Show!! As a fellow Scooby Stan, that is the only series I have re-watched multiple times.
I hate to use such an overused phrase, but it's almost a deconstruction in a way. Like I don't think any other iteration put nearly as much thought into it. It's much more *crafted* than a normal Scooby Doo series.
It could be fun if daphne was into escaping the traps playing into her badassery and Fred into building them
Congrats on the Velma 2023 writers seeing this video! That's pretty cool! Shame they decided to do the exact opposite of literally EVERYTHING you said here, though.
Wrong he describes Fred as being white. They listened to that lol
@Nick Mancini he was so butchered in that show it hurts. Fred, he who was so pure and innocent, had been corrupted into being a sexist, man-child.
@@electricfeverx976 FRED DESERVES BETTER!
@@PaintSplashProductions Preach. Even Fred being white somehow got botched, though, since being white is now a personality trait, I guess. Glad that's covered. I really wouldn't mind the race swapping if they'd just done it to be more inclusive, not to pull this shit.
Yep so ya know I miss the old Fred :(
Lot of people tend to forget that Shaggy acts as the gang's mechanic when the Mystery Machine needs repairs, most prevalent in What's New and Mystery Incorporated. It's actually really neat. Plus the dynamic of how flustered he gets when he gets called Norville for any reason. There's a lot to play with there.
since when did shaggy fix the van, or anything at all?
@@lawrencevalero8111 If you want specific examples, the earliest ones I can think of are Reluctant Werewolf and Ghoul School. Beyond that, again, What's New and Mystery Inc.
I find it endearing that he prefers the company of his weird bunch of friends to the snooty upper crust life he's adjacent to in the iterations where him being from a wealthy family is canonical.
@@MetalTheMaker I think I recall him becoming the gang mechanic in What's New. Specifically in the worm and skeleton episodes since they're both racing episodes.
I would actually say Fred has had the most consistent personality of the gang. He's the leader with the heart of gold that just wants everyone to be included. (If you're into personality psychology, he's basically always been an ENFJ. Except when he doesn't feel like Fred. Then he's not. Really. That's how you get Fred right. It's about the personality and not the character quirks.)
One of the things I like the most about _Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated_ is that they don't make Fred egotistical. The Fred from the James Gunn movies is the most narcissitic version but in a lot of media (like _A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island_ and _What's New Scooby-Doo?)_ Fred's main character flaw is that he overestimates too much how capable he is and ends up screwing things. But _Mystery Inc.'s_ Freddie doesn't have ennough self-awarness on his brain to think he's better than anybody, his mind is just an endless pile of trap eschematics and a locket with a photo of Daphne on one side and a photo of the Mystery Machine on the other... in short, he's great
Give Fred ADHD, that would explain how he knows so much about random shit as there were once a hyper fixation he had, traps are just the current hyperfixation but it’s lasting a little longer than expected
Ok this is me. Im obsessed with perfecting my avocado toast recipe at the moment.
I love that! Each episode is just a new hyperfixation that goes away by next episode and whenever anyone brings it up he doesn’t remember it at all.
@@ryanbradleyrankin Yo let me at that. I tried avocado toast and it turns out that millennials really do like the stuff. Or at least I do.
@@gelusvenn5063 i know right. I only tried it because of the meme and then i was like "hold on a sec....this is pretty good".
So here is what you do. Get your favorite Bread and toast it of course. Id suggest either a sourdough or whole grain bread. typical sandwich bread is too flimsy. I like DAVE'S KILLER BREAD. In this recipe i mash the avocado into a spread. Get a potato masher. Add salt, pepper, red pepper flake, the juice from half a lime, and a little bit of olive oil. Get 2/3 strips of bacon and cut them into small pieces with some meat shears. fry them up nice and crispy and let them cool for a few minutes on a paper towel. Start toasting the bread while the bacon is cooling. Simply spread the avocado onto the toast and then sprinkle the bacon on top of it. Sometimes ill fry up an egg or 2 as well. you should have enough avocado spread for 2 maybe 3 servings. The lime juice will keep the avocado fresh and green.
@@laraschroeder5195 I think that would be a cool concept, but then don’t tie it to an actual disorder. That way ppl with hyperfixations/special interests could relate to his intense interest, but people unfamiliar with the concept wouldn’t think you can just cycle through them every day.
Gotta love how jello talked for 1 hour about how to do Scooby Doo characters right and HBO decided to do the polar opposite. Like, so completely polar opposite that it almost seems like they watched his video and took notes just to make sure they do the EXACT opposite of what he said a good Scooby Doo character is
HBO’s Velma is very much the antithesis to what the Scooby-Doo name is known for :(
@@domino6011 I mean it doesn't have scooby-doo to begin with so that checks out

@@airacummins5076 From memory it appeared in Scooby Doo and the Monster of Mexico (although I had to double check the title) and an episode of Be Cool, Scooby Doo. I've definitely seen it elsewhere, but I don't remember where else specifically.
One thing I have to say about the relationship thing. As someone who as been in an abusive relationship, I support the healthy relationship dynamic, but I also support the idea of seeing someone grow and heal after leaving a bad relationship. THAT is something that is truly NEVER shown. Its ignored or at best a montage.
HEALTHY Relationship in the Mystery and Crime Genre:
BOOTH AND BONES FROM BONES!
A man that looks suspiciously like Shaggy extoling the virtues of Fred makes far too much sense. That's his best friend besides Scoob, man
Ikr! Its so sweet. I like it when they are all friends!
Like Fred and Shaggy are best buds!
And when they are buddies its so wholesome.
Thicc shaggy
It would've been even more suspicious if he had said Scooby is his favorite character, like idk man
"he is not capable of wrong, only of oops."
THAT IS THE BEST LINE IMO HJJFGSKFDG GOD I LOVE FRED
Almost 500 likes and it's completely deserved
Big Lucio Morgasson vibes (from The Arcana)
Read this right as he said it.
I think that Shaggy not liking mysteries and voicing his complaints about it can be fine IF it's just for the first few episodes of the first seasons.
have it be like a character growth thing for him to go from not liking mysteries and not wanting to be there to either having some interest to be there and may not want to be there if things get really scary or be a bit like your pitch for Scooby where even if he doesn't want to go into a haunted house, he'll still go with barely any hesitation if he knows that someone dear to him could be in trouble in there.
maybe having him wanting to go on mysteries start from a dangerously close call happening to one of the members of mystery inc gang with him just barely able to save them that makes him realize that if he truly cares about his friends like he says he does, he needs to actually be there to be ready to save them despite his fears and yet he still needs his dog to be there with him to truly be able to face his fears without clamming up or running away in pure terror
Fred reminds me of how I once heard Gomez from Addams family described. He's madly in love with his wife, his family, his normie neighbors, his brother, he's just in love with life. Earnest and happy.
So basically:
Fred needs to be a kind, not so smart, guy who has a thing for machines.
Daphne needs a strong willed, courageous to a fault, femm fatale (who could, if motivated, really mess up your day).
Velma needs to be a socially awkward, but extremely booksmart, scholar who has a fascination for the supernatural (gets disappointed when she realizes it's just "some guy in a mask" can be an occasional gag).
Shaggy needs to be a coward that enjoys a good spook and stress eats to help cope with a high metabolism and a bunch of adrenaline.
Scooby needs to a smart, loyal, and goofy dog who does get scared easily.
They also all need to kinda shit on Shaggy a bit

"Daphne is girl" most accurate character analysis I've ever seen about Daphne.
I just am kind of fascinated with this Cheryl Tunt version of Daphne he's proposing.
"brain of a tadpole and the body of a fridge" i died.
I like Daphne best when she's in her handiness era. Like I could see all her time doing DIYs as why she's so good at picking locks. Plus the upper middle class white woman kleptomaniac stereotype is hilarious to me. I like the mystery ink one where she's a little more jaded but I also love the what's New Scooby-Doo version where she's resourceful
Ok, hear me out. ADHD Himbo Fred! He is just a really nice guy that constantly jumps from hobby to hobby. This way, any time the writer needs him to be really into something, that can be either his current hyperfixation or a previous one. It would also him a more defined role in the group, he would be the impulsive/easily distracted one the absent mindedly wanders into places or gets lost.
Good grief, I love this idea
Again, that sounds like Daphne from Be Cool Scooby Doo, just less insane.

Mindy Kaling: “Good to know”
I love in 20 minutes you've shat on:
-dogs
-stoners
-the entire us armed forces
-and the Irish.
before you even got to Velma.

And Bad dog owners
To be fair he only shat on stoners who are JUST stoners which IMO is very fair and distinct. Let people be stoners, some of my best friends are stoners, but it's best when it just heightens they're other aspects.
He was right about irish people tho
All the beaches in Ireland are so bad you just walk on them, and they're often prettier at night
I've lived in Ireland for all my life, and was called out by that bit
don't forget Ryan Bergara lmao
I hope he just ment the show military and not the irl military. Bc it's kinda extremely rude to crap on people who literally almost died for us. But if he means the system ya the system is horrible. It just kinda made me mad a bit bc I have 2 family members who are veterans. One of them is my dad and the other is my grand pa. He's the only grand popie I got and I love him so much and I hope I can be the best grand daughter to him. I worry I might not be the best for him and I wanna be nice to him. Although me and him are very close but still I always worry bc my other grandpa died before I was born and he was in the military. But he died in a car crash. I wish I got to meet him.
I would like to say, one adjustment, don't let Daphne know how to do traps from the beginning. Let her learn from Fred. There's no relationship drama, but there's still plot, dynamic, growth, and development between the two. Plus, let Fred learn fashion or textiles from Daphne. Healthy couples engage with each other's interests and learn and love and embrace what their partners are passionate about. Let the "conflict" be Daphne struggling with her self-confidence because she can't get a seemingly simple knot right, but Fred manages to give her the boost she needs at the eleventh hour, supporting her and learning how to help her learn. Show Fred having a bit of a crisis bc Daphne's pulled the gang to a (haunted) fashion show and he keeps trying to be "better" in order to not embarrass Daphne, but it's in Daphne reminding him she loves him for who he is that they trap the monster of the week. Let them have the most positive girlboss/himbo dynamic while still learning and growing as people.
YESS I AGREE. Most based comment, this should be pinned even.
This sounds adorable, I want it!
LITERALLY CRYING I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
yeah if you make a perfect relationship you might make it just boring (im looking at you lumity) so there should be a running gag where daphne cant put the traps right and fred has to teach her but in the most human golden retriever way ever
The only ‘conflict’ is worrying they’d disappoint eachother.
Fred is consistently pretty good while the other characters have high highs and really low lows
Except in Velma; they're all bad in Velma
Except Scooby. Because he Soobydooed himself out there.
How amazing. That's why I loved Mystery Inc. I had actually never watched anything Scooby BUT MI until a few years back so I thought the franchise was better. So cool this video. Gives insight. Also that Velma foreshadowing was insane
25:09 Yoooo that's so cool! Have her get a camera and flutter all around the ghost bombarding him in pictures and having him run into a wall from flashes! Very good idea
29:45 I'm stealing those examples, even if I watched only one of them
33:52 JelloApocalypse invents The Addams Family (1964, Colorized)
34:15 I swear, watch the original, it's the healthiest family around.
48:54 That is the best line so far I think I'm gonna like this channel
I gotta love that Mystery Incorporated Fred has an IQ of 3 and yet based on the traps he's created:
- Has a very clear and indepth knowledge of college level physics
-An extremely intelligent engineer and master in multiple forms of engineering including chemical, electrical, mechanical, and more
-Has an supernatural grasp of spatial awareness to the point where he can use every ounce of space around him to his advantage to set up trapping mechanisms
-Is an expert in probability due to the fact some of the mechanisms won't work unless something else is set off
-Extremely clever and resourceful
I love the thought that Fred could actually be an incredible scientist/engineer if he didn’t focus all his attention on making traps. Definition of “follow your passion”.
“You have the knowledge of genius engineers, and you’re using it to make traps and solve mysteries? With that knowledge, you could help invent teleportation!”
Fred: “But I don’t WANT to invent teleportation! I want to solve mysteries!”
Savant!!!
This is giving me an idea for an episode where Fred is struggling with something like taxes or some other thing that needs thinking and brainpower and Daphne is like “hey, just think of it like you’re making a trap!” And suddenly Fred starts thinking like that all the time and he becomes ungodly smart. Like, he conquers the stock market, he starts developing an incredibly efficient renewable fuel for cars and jets, all this absolutely wild shit just by thinking of challenges like he's making a trap. And the gang is just dumbfounded, their dynamic is completely shifted and it’s all just wrong. Episode could resolve with him being like “man, thinkings a lot of work! I’d rather just be the trap guy” or something like that
He is the definition of high INT low WIS.
So asperger's
It’s hilarious to make Daphne the girly-girl also be the most intense member of the group. She’s got batman money and training, and splurges it on dresses, ghost tours, and high heels that work in combat.
You could also have Daphne and Fred in the beginning stages of that loving relationship, where they are clearly meant for each other but are still working out the boundaries. Get that whole “Will he still love me if I break a man’s leg?” Kind of thing.
I think that whole relationship between Fred and Daphne could also work even better if they balance Daphne's angle of being too intense with Fred being the exact opposite and having no idea how the whole "boyfriend" thing works but just trying his best because it's Fred. So you have scenes of Fred reading romance novels and trying to learn to be a 'traditional' boyfriend, while Daphne just could not give less of a shit and is just happy to do the things she likes with Fred. Meanwhile, you have scenes of Daphne beating up a bunch of guys and being worried about what Fred thinks, only to have him giving her a thumbs-up with a big smile.
And then to counteract Daphne's intensity, both are "good" in a fight, but while Daphne is due to being super skilled and badass, Fred is just a pure himbo cinnamon roll that bumbles his way to victory. Like, someone tries to sneak up on him, but he just went shopping with Daphne, so he suddenly turns around and knocks the guy down with a bag full of shoes. Then he bends down to help, while the attacker tries to get up, resulting in a KO and his "victory" when they bonk heads. Give Fred old Daphne's clumsiness, but instead of it being what gets him into situations, it's what gets him out of them.

This video is hands-down, not exaggerated, the BEST video I have ever seen and probably the best video on CZcams. It perfectly combines EVERYONE'S childhood nostalgia up until this point with a light-hearted show, passion, AND in-depth commentary. CZcams was made purely to house this video, I literally feel blessed to have watched it.
Late to the party but I wanted to build on the Daphne idea you had, what if the girly side of her and the hardcore side of her came from her parents who are in a very toxic relationship, thus causing their daughter's mental instability, but both still care for her deeply with the mother teaching Daphne her super spy stuff and her father teaching her his fashion designer skills, or something like that. An episode that could come up is Fred finally meeting them and seeing that toxic relationship kind of shakes his faith in his and Daphne's relationship and towards the end one of the parents notice and ask Fred who explains while breaking down a bit, the parent comforts Fred and talks about how good Fred and Daphne's relationship is and in doing so realizes how bad the parent's relationship is and that it is effecting others they care about. Fred regains his resolve and rushes back to a spiraling Daphne, and the parents confront their problem.
The problem with Mystery Inc. Velma is that Nobody would keep her as a friend. Especially not the Scooby Gang that are all nice people.

I want to complain that the section dedicated to Fred wasn’t very long. But he is the leader of Mystery Inc. so his personality should be intertwined with everyone else’s.
And yeah, as soon as Fred was given a personality, they kinda nailed it, didn’t they.
A Himbo who love the thrill of solving a mystery via throwing a net over a costumed person.
He honestly doesn’t need to be much more than that.
My best friend sent me this video after I started watching Mystery Incorporated and basically went on a really extensive talk on why I love their take on Fred's character. He really went past all of my radars for 21 years but I finally understood that he's the best character
I love the idea of Daphne and Fred just blankly staring at characters
Daphne stares because she’s going to kill you in the most insane way possible
Fred stares because there are no thoughts in his brain.
