Scrappy-Doo is a talking Great Dane puppy, the nephew of Scooby-Doo, and was one of the main characters in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise during the 1980s. He was (for a time) a member of Mystery Incorporated, and is noted for having a steadfast attitude that contrasts both his idol Scooby and Shaggy. His voice was originated by Lennie Weinrib, which was only a brief stint and may be more fondly remembered by his replacement, Don Messick; the original voice of Scooby-Doo.

He was originally created in 1979 for the television series, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, to boost the declining ratings the franchise had that year. Although Scrappy is credited for saving the series from cancellation at the time, his presence would be heavily criticized in later years due to him being perceived as obnoxious by many. As a result, he would eventually stop appearing as a regular in various Scooby-Doo media overtime, only appearing in small cameos or being alluded to poke fun of his character. Scrappy's notable post-1980s appearance would be in the live-action Scooby-Doo film in 2002, in which he was ultimately revealed to be the film's main antagonist.

• In the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "One Hundred," Meatwad took a shape similar to Scooby-Doo when Master Shake took the Aqua Teen Hunger Force into a parody of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Richeldis was the first contestant to pick out a character, which happened to be Scrappy-Doo. 37 of the anonymous public also chose Scrappy correctly. Cohost Richard Osman circles Scrappy and reveals his full name is Scrappy Cornelius Doo (from the first live-action movie), and goes on to say how he "stunk the place up [when he was added in 1979]."

Much of the key work debunking supernatural myths was carried out in the 1970s by American paranormalogists Norville Rogers, Frederick Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley. And if you didn't get that reference, then shame on you, Only Connect fans. You probably preferred the ones with Scooby-Dum and Scrappy-Doo."
• In the Superstore episode "Golden Globes Party," Jonah tries to convince his new girlfriend and co-worker, Kelly, that the others like her, the same way the Scooby-Doo gang liked Scrappy, but Kelly says that they hated Scrappy, and he only got to hang out with them because he was related to Scrappy.
