Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a member of Mystery Incorporated and the deuteragonist and sometimes protagonist of the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. His voice was originated by Casey Kasem.

He is the owner and best friend of their team's mascot: Scooby-Doo, a talking Great Dane, who is the main character and the protagonist of the aforementioned Scooby-Doo franchise.

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.

Character description

Shaggy is a tall and lanky teenager. He has whiskers on his chin, forming some kind of a goatee. His signature attire usually consists of a green V-neck shirt, brown bell-bottom pants, and black shoes. In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and the 80s made-for-TV films, he instead wore a red shirt and blue jeans.

Shaggy is described as somewhat of a hippie due to his laid back persona, messy hair, and frequent use of the word "Like" in his speech. He and his dog Scooby share a nearly unstable appetite for food, as well as their tendency of goofing off. Shaggy gets extremely scared when faced with monsters or other scary scenarios, usually in display of much greater cowardice than any other character except for Scooby. Shaggy doesn't usually help out Mystery Inc. in mysteries, but is often bribed with Scooby Snacks, which temporarily cures him of his timidity.

Even though Shaggy enjoys many kinds of food, he is sometimes depicted as a vegetarian at times.

Shaggy Sells Out

Scooby and Shaggy guest star in the Sabrina the Teenage Witch episode "Unplugged," where they appear as characters Sabrina meets when she zaps herself into a computer.

In the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Scooby and Shaggy are at a restaurant with Matthew Lillard who have umbrage with his portrayal as Shaggy in Scooby-Doo.

Shaggy is in the first and third State Farm commercials.

Shaggy appears twice in Teen Titans Go! The first time as a non-speaking cameo with Scooby in "I See You," when they appear in the Mystery Machine next to Beast Boy and Cyborg in the T-Car during their stakeout song. Next, is a full guest appearance in "Cartoon Feud," when Shaggy and his friends are forced by Control Freak to compete against the Teen Titans in a game of Family Feud.

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.

Behind the scenes

  • In the documentary "Who, What, Where, How, Why... Who Cares?," Paul Rudish said that when he met Craig McCracken while at Cal Arts, he walked like Shaggy.

In popular culture

  • In the Timon and Pumbaa episode "Werehog of London," a fortune teller warns Timon and Pumbaa that no one is safe from the curse of the werehog, not even "those meddling teens and their pesky dog," and then the camera reveals an orange and blue van resembling The Mystery Machine that has been abandoned after it was knocked into a lampost.
  • In the October 7, 2000 episode of Saturday Night Live, Rob Lowe played Shaggy, with a guy dressed in a Scooby suit, appearing on Crime TV, where it's discussed if their investigation really did help after all.
  • In "Chapter 20" of the Star Wars: Clone Wars series developed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the young nervous Jedi was a parody of Shaggy, as revealed by Tartakovsky in the audio commentary for the episode. John DiMaggio voiced the character. Tartakovsky wanted his voice to be higher, but found it to be too goofy to be mixed in with the serious tone he was going for. While unnamed in the episode (he was credited as "Padawan"), the official Star Wars website would later identify him as Sha'a Gi.
  • In the Smallville episode "Abandoned," Lois said to Shelby that he was Scooby to Clark's Shaggy.
  • In The Cleveland Show episode "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.
  • In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Costume Contest," Robin draws himself and the Teen Titans as Mystery Inc., with Cyborg as Shaggy.
  • In the American Dad episode "100 A.D", an artist rendition of Haley and Jeff is Shaggy and Velma. Upon seeing the news, Jeff yells "Zoinks!"

Disney's Doug

  • "Doug's Bloody Buddy:" A fantasy in the teaser depicts Doug and his friends as the Scooby Gang, with Doug as Shaggy to compliment his own dog, Porkchop, who was Scooby.
  • "Doug's Hairy Situation:" Roger chooses "the Shaggy" look on a computer simulation after he gets one chin hair.

Robot Chicken

Main article: Robot Chicken
  • "Operation Rich in Spirit:" In the skit, "A Scooby Friday," Mystery Inc. goes sleuthing at Camp Crystal Lake where they all get killed by Jason Voorhies, except for Velma. Shaggy's voice is provided by Matthew Lillard, who returns for each subsequent skit.
  • "Ban on the Fun:" In the skit "Laff-A-Munich" segment, he and Scooby are tasked with killing the Really Rottens. Shaggy is awoken in the middle of the night by Scooby randomly firing his gun. When asked by Shaggy what he was doing, Scooby says his safety wasn't on. He also confronts Daisy Mayhem about the murders alongside Captain Caveman.
