"The Truth About Scooby-Doo & Co"
Everyone remembers the cartoon show Scooby-Doo from their early childhood,
right? But something you may not remember is what the show was really
about. As we've gotten older, it has become more clear what Fred,
Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, and Scooby were actually doing as they traversed
the continent foiling crimes of all sorts in the Mystery Machine.
WHAT WE REMEMBER: Four teenagers and their trusted dog gallop across
the country in their purple and green van solving mysteries of all
sorts -- and in the process meet all kinds of interesting people.
THE TRUTH: Four high-school dropouts and their sentient dog ride
around the country in their psychedelic love machine, earning their
way by selling drugs. Oh, and they occasionally take some old guys
mask off to solve a mystery.
It may be hard to swallow, but just take a look at the evidence...
Take Shaggy for example. Not only is he the inspiration for the current
'grunge' scene, with his sloppy dress and facial hair, but Shaggy
is obviously a 'burner', i.e., he smokes marijuana. Why do you think
he is constantly hungry? Shaggy can make a six foot hoagie and swallow
it whole.
And then there is Scooby himself. While dogs do not generally smoke
joints, Scooby gets his 'high' from Scooby-Snacks, which are in fact
Hash-Brownies. Whenever Scooby, or Shaggy for that matter, eats a
Scooby-Snack, they go ape! It just blows their mind and they do whatever
they are told, because they are so lit! Scooby is also hungry all
the time.
The other characters do not actively take part in the stoner-fest
that Shaggy and Scooby do, but they do condone the selling of it because
it helps support their jaunts across the country (and the world --
they drove to China once). These other characters do have their own
peculiarities however...
Fred and Daphne are always splintering off from the group to go 'solve
the case' by themselves. It's no real mystery what these two are really
doing -- they're getting busy in the back of the Mystery Machine.
Daphne, with her pretty pink legs, and Fred are constantly bumping
uglies. Fred is, by the way, pumped up on steroids. One thing that
remains a mystery though, is why he always wore that stupid scarf
around his neck.
And what about Velma? Everyone's least favorite of the cast, was
of course, a lesbian. But, as it turned out in the later episodes,
she was also into bestiality. Where do you think Scrappy-Doo came
from? Scrappy, who was a dog yet spoke perfect English, was obviously
a product of Velma and Scooby.
So the kids spent their teenage years driving around the world, slangin'
dope, shooting steroids, eating hash brownies, and screwing their
dog, while all the while looking for the perfect 'hit'. Oh if we had
only known these things when we watched this cartoon as children...
