Scooby-Doo (character)


 * This article is about the character. For other uses, see Scooby-Doo.

Scooby-Doo is a talking Great Dane, who is the main character and protagonist of the Scooby-Doo franchise. Besides talking, he also has other anthropomorphic abilities, but remains the pet of Shaggy Rogers, and is the mascot of Mystery Incorporated, who are usually a gang of teenagers with a strong sense of purpose to solve mysteries and crimes.

Scooby-Doo first appeared in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "What a Night for a Knight" in 1969, and 24 other episodes in the series. He has since gone onto appear in countless spin-off TV series, specials, films, comics, and video games.

The voice was originated by Don Messick.

Throughout the years, Hanna-Barbera, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros. Animation, as well as book and video game publishers, have conceived several incarnations, which don't always fit together because new writers have come on board and disregarded what has come before or there has been a complete reboot, but the general concept has been the same, perhaps except for DC Comics' radically altered Scooby Apocalypse.

Behind the scenes

 * According to a 1982 calendar, Scooby was born on March 21st, although in a 1984 episode of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, "Happy Birthday, Scooby-Doo," it was an undefined month on the 7th. He also celebrates his birthday in the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode "Cher, Scooby, and the Sargasso Sea."

The Cleveland Show

 * "A Nightmare on Grace Street": Cleveland and Rallo are forced to put an end to their feud by staying in a spooky mansion at night on Halloween. Rallo says it's nice, but Cleveland responded that it "seemed a little Scooby-Doo". He then says "Zoinks" like Shaggy, and jumps on Rallo like Scooby would jump on Scooby, with appropriate sound effects. Rallo then feeds him a dog biscuit, with Cleveland responding in a happy Scooby-like tone.
 * "Sex and the Biddy": When Rallo was served a giant pastrami on rye, he responded, "What am I, fucking Scooby-Doo?"
