  • Sarah Michelle: POURS her heart out explaining the phenomenona that is Scooby-Doo and its connection to it's audience Freddie Prinze Jr: "👁️👄👁️ issa tawking dawg"
  • @satan7288
    As a Scottish Scooby Doo fan, hearing about this story always makes me proud of my homeland lmao
  • @altejoh
    "Scoobydoo Goes Hollywood" also seems to be in the vein of "Scooby leaves and kids protest until he comes back".
  • @Quader417
    Its genuinely astonishing how often u can make me tear up over a 2D dog with a speech impediment 😩 true enough its my favorite show ever of all time always but still the resolve of those children and the fact that it sparked a decades long franchise with new stuff for every generation just bc they wanted something to relate to and scooby doo felt scary but comforting, adventurous but familiar, mature but never overly serious. It really is a show for everyone
  • @Ko1F1shyVR
    Once I saw Scooby Doo on my notification, I clicked immediately
  • @JDPlaysMoth
    Don't forget the made for tv movie Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood, which had a finale where people across the country raise signs and yell at Hollywood to bring Scooby back!!!!
  • @calebsmith9548
    Scooby also quits in “Scooby Goes Hollywood” and Fred, Daphne, and Velma get people to chant to get Scooby to come back to the gang. Very similar as well.
  • @wokemoralist
    super excited for more scoob content this month, always a joy to see you talk about my favorite cartoon dog and the 4 weirdos that drag him around
  • To this day I think nanny don't appreciate those small, more provocative moments in the original Scooby Doo and how they were genuinely thrilling and even a little scary for kids. A lot of later Scooby Doo series forgot that.
  • @BrandonCroker
    Scooby for the win…and Scott, but everyone knew that already.
  • @krononaut1
    Did the Turkeys agree to their name being used in bowling? Someone better have consulted them on this.
  • @kweenleo2265
    another step towards this becoming a scooby doo channel! edit: my friend got the krispy crème donuts!! she said they’re real good!
  • @KazikoWhite
    My dad, being Scottish and would've been 10/11 years old in 1971, could have taken part in the Great Scooby Strikes Of Scotland. I'm going to ask him.
  • @TitularHeroine
    When I saw the Harlem Globetrotters on Scooby Doo, I was disappointed that they didn't have their super powers. Thank you.
  • @TheAntiburglar
    I moved to Aberdeen, Scotland right before the first lock down and I knew a fair bit about Scottish history... but this trumps everything else I've ever learned. GO SCOTTISH YOUTH!
  • @sambeawesome
    "Sometimes I buy a cheap projector from a grocery store for no other reason than I thought it would delight me, and it did." This is such a mood and I'm so happy for you xD Also loved this video, great work as always :)
  • @Kayclau
    Very inspiring story. I don't think I would've known this bit of history otherwise.
  • @TeruteruBozusama
    My mom just told me she has good memories of Scooby Doo, and I had no idea! I watched marathons on Cartoon Network a lot! One of the cartoons that taught me English!
