Owner of a cowardly dog [Scooby], friend to a suspiciously gay-looking man [Fred]. And I would've had my vengeance, but I was, like, really scared. Zoinks!" He then wants to celebrate with Scooby, saying, "This, like, calls for Scooby Snacks. Scooby, at my signal, unleash your tongue and wrap it around a very tall sandwich."

Velma is suspicious it's not Livingstone and his face is really a mask hiding Tony Blair, who was pretending to be Livingstone to make London more unpopular. Defeated, he groans, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you pesky young voters." Scooby cheers by saying, "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" | |||

- You may also be looking for the TV series Velma.
Velma Dinkley is a member of Mystery Incorporated and a character in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Nicole Jaffe.
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, except for DC Comics and Max's radically altered Scooby Apocalypse and Velma, respectively.
Character description
Velma is a teenage girl with an auburn-colored bob cut, a slightly wide waistline and freckles. Her fashion choices are somewhat comfortable, wearing a baggy, orange turtleneck sweater, a red skirt, orange socks that extend to her knees, and black Mary Jane shoes. She is well known for wearing square, thick-framed glasses.
In various incarnations, Velma is a highly intelligent woman with an interest in science. She is well-read on many fields and is fascinated by mysteries. Because of her highly analytical intellect, Velma is typically the first Mystery Inc. member to solve a mystery, and often keeps her conclusions a secret till the very end. She is also the most skeptical of the gang and is most likely to discount any accounts of paranormal activity, often holding a philosophy that there is always a rational explanation in everything. Velma was initially characterized as a humble girl with a no-nonsense attitude, though modern iterations of the character—namely Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated—depict her as highly sarcastic.
Despite using her knowledge in solving mysteries, Velma is prone to nearsightedness, which came from losing her glasses on many occasions.

Velma is the titular character. In this series, she is of South Asian descent.
Velma Sells Out
The Planeteers have gone undercover at a school to stop the gang war that led to one of the teachers, Mr. King, being shot, who incidentally is a friend of Gi. When Kwame says to Gi he believes Mr. King will be fine, a couple of students resemble Shaggy and Velma who are having their own conversation.[7]
In 2005, Velma appeared in a Dove shampoo commercial, with Wilma Flintstone and Jane Jetson.
The gang gets help from State Farm agent Lucy Rodas after the Mystery Machine gets knocked into a ditch by the Creeper.
In The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Velma is one of the survivors of Apocalypseburg. When everyone discusses what to do next after General Mayhem kidnaps Wyldstyle among others, Velma asks, "Jinkies! Who's gonna lead the mission?"
Rob reads some text from Timmy, the Internet, finding a show to replace Rob's eternal nemesis Gumball that would be something akin to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, with a Great Dane and his "kooky friends" who solve mysteries in a van, but then the kids would have to switch to another channel to watch that.[8]
Looneyverse
In the Duck Dodgers episode "Surf the Stars," During the surfing montage where Duck Dodgers and the Crusher run by in various outfits, Mystery Inc. briefly runs by the screen.
In the Warner Bros. ServerVerse in Space Jam: A New Legacy, the gang (based on their Scoob! designs), arrive at the basketball game between the Tune Squad and the Goon Squad in the Mystery Machine, then watch from outside the van. Mystery Inc., like all the other IPs, has no particular preference and just reacts to whatever is happening.
Titans Go!
Velma and her friends are forced by Control Freak to compete against the Teen Titans in a game of Family Feud.[9]
Mystery Inc. are guests at Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary party at their Burbank studio, where the Teen Titans are acting as security.[10]

Velma in the Cyber Realm of Video Games
She makes a brief appearance in Scooby-Doo Mystery. She is a playable character in Scooby-Doo! Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom, Scooby-Doo! First Frights, and Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Swamp, and is an NPC in Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers, Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights, Scooby-Doo!

Enter the Multi-Versus
Velma is currently a fighter in MultiVersus.
Development
Velma's template when being created was Zelda Gilroy from the 1960s sitcom The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis.[11] Although writer Mark Evanier believes this resulted in something "very, very remote and hardly worth talking about", perhaps if one were to ignore the fact that the actress who played her is gay which Velma had recently been revealed to be at the time of his writing.[12]

Dead Ringers (radio)

Despite playing Shaggy, Crowe still has shaken his previous role of Maximus Decimus Meridius from Gladiator (a recurring gag on Dead Ringers), and when he responds to Velma, he paraphrases Maximus's famous quote, "My name is Maximus Decimus Shaggimus. Owner of a cowardly dog [Scooby], friend to a suspiciously gay-looking man [Fred]. And I would've had my vengeance, but I was, like, really scared. Zoinks!"

Velma is suspicious it's not Livingstone and his face is really a mask hiding Tony Blair, who was pretending to be Livingstone to make London more unpopular.

(wearing similar clothes and stylized eyes like them, too), including Ralph Wiggum in a Scooby-like costume. They get free passes to Krustyland, but find out it is closed due to apparently being haunted by a ghost. When they reveal the faux ghost to be a rich Texan, he gets away with it, informing the kids, "And I got away with it, too! Because you're just kids and I can afford a lawyer!"

Scooby and Shaggy's doppelgangers are called Scoobidy and Shaky, respectively.
- "Make Room for Roomie:" The gang investigate the disappearance of Shaky, and ask Scoobidy several questions until he confesses that he killed Shaky because Shaky kept on eating his Scoobidy Snacks and threatened to neuter him.

Scoobidy winks at the camera.

- Main article: The Venture Bros.
- "¡Viva los Muertos!:" Val is a composite of 1960s feminist/attempted murderer Valerie Solanas and Velma. Predictably, Val is depicted as a lesbian as an in-joke to Velma's own sexual orientation which wasn't made canon until 2021.
- "Self-Medication:" Dr. Venture and his former boy adventurer colleagues discuss the sex lives of Daphne and Velma, which Dr. Venture didn't think Velma had much of because she was a lesbian, as everyone did, but Action Johnny reveals that this may not necessarily be true as the "pack of herpes" he contracted from her says otherwise.
