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

I'm so scared, I wish I had a ham sandwich to calm my nerves!
― Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, "Hassle in the Castle" (1969)

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 something of a hippie due to his laid back personality, 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.

An avid foodie, Shaggy enjoys many kinds of food, especially when it comes to fast food such as burgers, pizza, hot dogs, sandwiches, ice cream, milkshakes, french fries, and many more. As such, he tends to experiment with strange culinary combinations by using ingredients that contrast different taste qualities (usually a hotchpotch of sweet and savoury items). In some media, primarly in ones where Casey Kasem portrayed him, Shaggy is depicted as a vegetarian who doesn't eat meat. In Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Shaggy and Scooby justify their hunger by insisting that "Being in a constant state of terror makes us constantly hungry!"

Biography

Those Original Mysteries

In his first appearance in the episode, "What a Night for a Knight," Daphne said that Shaggy is a gymnast in school, implying that Shaggy—and by extension, the gang—are students in high school.[1]

In "A Clue for Scooby-Doo", after making Velma disgusted with a mention of chocolate-covered hot dogs, Shaggy jokingly remarked that his tastes in food were the result of his first toy being a garbage disposal.[2]

In "Decoy for a Dognapper," Shaggy is first revealed to have acquired an appetite for Scooby Snacks, when Daphne tries to bribe Scooby with one. Shaggy tries for another Scooby Snack, but Scooby blocks him and eats it for Daphne's second attempt.

SCOOB! on the Big Screen

Scoobyless Riverdale

In Velma, Norville (the real name of Shaggy) is African-American and works as a editor-in-chief for the Crystal Cove High School newspaper. He is described in the show as a "beta male," and is initially shown to have a geeky crush on Velma, much to the latter's apathy towards him. He was initially a stoner until he developed a negative stance on drugs.

Shaggy Sells Out

Sabrina meets Scooby and Shaggy.png

In the Sabrina, the Teenage Witch episode "Unplugged," Sabrina zaps herself into Leonard's computer to remove footage of when she used her powers in the Scorch office, meeting the screensaver versions of Shaggy and Scooby in the process.

Looneyverse

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 tells Lillard he made him look like a "space cadet" and better not "goof on him" in the sequel, Scooby will offer him a Scooby Snack in a nasty way.

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.

Like a Good Neighbour...

The gang gets help from State Farm agent Lucy Rodas after the Mystery Machine gets knocked into a ditch by the Creeper.

Scooby is shocked to discover that Shaggy can't eat after getting a huge bill from Mysteries Insurance, with the narrator suggesting that he should get help from State Farm.

Titans Go!

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.

Shaggy Survives the Apocalypse

Shaggy in the Cyber Realm

Shaggy is a playable character in all of the Scooby-Doo video games. He's also a fighter in MultiVersus.

Development

Shaggy's template when being created was Maynard G. Krebs, a beatnik character portrayed by Bob Denver in the 1960s sitcom The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis.[3] Writer Mark Evanier believes the only similarity that remained when the character was further developed was the goatee.[4] In the intial concept for Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!—then known by its working title of Mysteries Five—Shaggy was originally called "W.W." and slated to be the brother of "Linda" (the character which would later become Velma). The brother-sister dynamic between Shaggy and Velma was dropped when the show was further developed, although shades of that may still be seen in the first episode.

Casey Kasem was initially hesitant when he was first assigned to voice Shaggy. Kasem stated that he was "hip to what hippies were about," and felt that he had never portrayed a hippie character beforehand. Kasem had wanted to voice Fred Jones, while Frank Welker wanted to portray Shaggy. Instead, the CBS network assigned Welker and Kasem to switch their roles, respectively.[5][6] Unsure of what a hippie would sound like, Kasem based his vocal style and mannerisms on those of Richard Crenna's character, Walter Denton, from the radio/television sitcom Our Miss Brooks.[7]

Shaggy's last name was first introduced in stories by Marvel Comics, and then in cartoon form in The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show episode, "Wedding Bell BOOs!" His real name, Norville, was created by Tom Ruegger for A Pup Named Scooby-Doo;[8] He mentioned that he got it from comedian Oliver Norvell Hardy.[9]

When developing Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, co-creator Jon Colton Barry rewrote Shaggy with Groucho Marx undertones.[10]

Behind the scenes

  • From 2002 to 2009, Shaggy was portrayed as a vegetarian because Casey Kasem, himself a vegetarian, demanded such a change. He originally stopped voicing the character in 1995, after being asked to voice him in a Burger King commercial, and he wouldn't return until the producers agreed to make Shaggy a vegetarian.[11][12]
    • The only other times where Kasem voiced Shaggy during his break was in some TV commercials, and a guest appearance on the Johnny Bravo episode "Bravo Dooby-Doo", which aired in 1997.
  • Some viewers of the original Scooby-Doo believed that Shaggy was a marijuana user due to his laid-back, hippie behavior and constant hunger. Casey Kasem was asked in a Newsweek interview if he had ever observed that subtext in the series, and responded "there wasn't anything like that at all," explaining, "[I] guess it's because, I don't know, it was a wholesome show from beginning to end." Kasem was not aware of the fan viewpoint until the interviewer brought it up.[6]
    • In reference to this supposed reading, the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film has a minor character introduce herself to Shaggy as "Mary Jane" (a slang term for marijuana), to which he responds, "Like, that is my favorite name."
      • Series creators Joe Ruby and Ken Spears recalled that they never intended for Shaggy to be a marijuana smoker, and "took umbrage" at the jokes in the film.[13]
    • In response to the urban legend, the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode "Shaggy Busted" revolves around Shaggy and Scooby-Doo being arrested for recreational drug use.
    • In Velma, "Norville Rogers" frequently brings up how much he hates drugs, but becomes a drug addict right ahead in the episode "The Brains of the Operation" and aquires the "Shaggy" nickname.
  • In the 2009 Powerpuff Girls-themed 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 Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures episode "Don't Touch That Dial," where Mighty Mouse gets sucked into a cartoon called Ring-A-Ding, Where Are You! In the cartoon, there is a Shaggy pastiche called Scuzzy, who is a pale imitation which is the intention. He is tall and talks in the same lingo, but says it straight. He is also bald, having a few frazzled hairs left, with a few frazzled chin hairs, as well. He dresses cheaply, wearing a white vest, shorts with a rope acting as a belt, a medallion, and sandals.
  • In the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "You Asked for It" ("Duck Out of Luck" segment), when the fighter jets target the King Kong-sized Plucky Duck, one jet shoots anything but actual missiles, such as Shaggy.
  • In the film Wayne's World, Wayne and Garth are unhappy about the ending to their film, so they redo it by doing the "Scooby-Doo ending," as Garth calls it. They transition back to Wayne's basement, where they unmask Benjamin to be Old Man Withers, who runs the haunted amusement park. Angered by them, he declares, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you snooping kids!" Pleased with the outcome, Garth says to Wayne in a Scooby-like voice, "Good one, Shaggy," and Wayne replies that it was an "excellent Scooby-Doo ending."
  • In the film Divorcing Jack, Dan's wigged disguise gets him more attention, and is made fun of in front of a whole audience by being called Shaggy.
  • In the Sister, Sister episode "The Audition," Mr. Matushka told the students that Casey Kasem would be a returning alumnus guest of Roosevelt High. After failing to get them to recognize Casey for his radio career, he sighed as he had to resort to using his career as the voice of Shaggy on Scooby-Doo to get their attention.
  • In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Out of Mind, Out of Sight," Willow wears a t-shirt with Scooby and Shaggy printed on. Later, Xander says "Gulp," a reaction used by Shaggy.
  • In the Animaniacs segment "Back in Style," the Warner siblings are loaned to a Hanna-Barbera-type studio that lets the Warner siblings "play themselves" in its cartoon Uhuru, Where Are You? In this parody, Bristly acts as a stand-in for Shaggy, who says, "Zinc," instead of "Zoinks."
  • In Chris Rice's song "Cartoons," Rice questions if Scooby and Shaggy are religious and would say "Scooby-dooby-doo-loo-yah" in place of "Hallelujah."
  • In the Student Bodies episode "Snowed In," Mags and Flash bond over Scooby-Doo by singing the theme song. When their friends come in, who are surprised the two are getting along, are asked what the nature of Scooby and Scrappy's relationship is, and why a hot girl like Daphne is hanging around a loser like Shaggy, with Romeo simply remarking that she is hot, before their friends leave them again.
  • In the Arthur segment "The Rat Who Came to Dinner," Shaggy is anthropomorphized as an animal with the rest of the gang in Mr. Ratburn's favourite old show Spooky-Poo.
  • In the Boy Meets World episode "Can I Help to Cheer You," Tommy repeats back to Eric how he told him that they were the greatest team since Scooby and Shaggy. In Tommy's innocent reasoning of convincing Eric to adopt him, Tommy said that Scooby didn't think it was impossible to save Shaggy when he fell into a well.
  • In the third episode of BBC Radio 4's Dead Ringers, there is a sketch based on Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, featuring only Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma. Shaggy uses his signature catchphrase, "Zoinks."
  • In That 70s Show episode "Afterglow," Fez watches the end of an episode of "the Scooby-Doo," with a villain saying, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those darn kids." Later, the guys get high, with Fez treating Kelso's sudden support of Eric as a mystery, "one suitable for Scooby-Doo and his gang of cartoon teenagers!" He then goes on to say how he wishes they were cartoon characters, with Fez imagining them in Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo-esque designs with Scooby-Doo-esque music playing as they talk to each other. Fez, the first one to talk, after the transformation, sarcastically says, "Zoinks. That'd be super, Fez."
  • 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." Then the camera reveals an orange and blue van resembling The Mystery Machine that has been abandoned after it was knocked into a lamp post.
  • In the book P.E.A.C.E.: A Novel of Police Terror, two members of the Real Peace vigilante group go on TV wearing a Scooby-Doo mask and dressed as Shaggy.
  • On the first page of Archie's Weird Mysteries #6, Jughead is dressed up like Shaggy as he becomes a parody of Shaggy for the comic's story (sans outfit). He inexplicably cries "Zoinks" when he's scared, while his dog, Hot Dog, has taken on the qualities of Scooby. Jughead also drives the Mystery Mobile, which he got from his uncle who used to sell tie-dyed shirts and bell bottoms out of it. Jug and Hot Dog also eat a box of Gooby Snax.
  • In season 8, episode 15 of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the £300 question is "What is the name of the cartoon dog who solves mysteries with Shaggy?"
  • In the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the title characters hitchhike in a green van owned by a bunch of odd adults vaguely resembling Mystery Incorporated. The Shaggy doppelganger, referred to in the credits as "The Dude," makes fun of Fred for wearing a neckerchief, gets high from a "doobie snack" from Jay, and then wants to harvest the kidneys of Jay and Silent Bob, but this is just a dream of Jay's.
  • In the video game Final Fantasy X-2, Prophet, who is a pastiche of Shaggy, is one of the potential culprits depending on what path you go on in the Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery subquest. When caught, he says, "That's right. Like, it was me. And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!" When Rin strikes him down for holding a gun at him and his friends, Prophet cries out, "Zoinks!"
  • In the film Freddy vs. Jason, Gibb, Kia, and Lori play a verbal game of "Marry, Fuck, Kill," with the former proposing Fred, Scooby, and Shaggy. Kia and Lori rightly refuse to answer her question.
  • In the film Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light, Tristan yells, "Zoinks," when seeing the mummies.
  • 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 Veronica Mars episode "You Think You Know Somebody," Wallace calls Veronica Velma when she talks about how easy it was to find out about someone's details online, but Veronica prefers to think of herself as Daphne. Veronica then asks Wallace if he is supposed to be Fred, but he dismisses this as his "white boy" of choice, as he prefers Shaggy because of his "flavor," which Veronica finds ironic after she finds he is still subscribed to Mad magazine.
  • In the Danny Phantom episode "The Million Dollar Ghost," one of the members of Groovy Gang is called a hippy called Andy, acting as an analog of Shaggy. Andy's catchphrase is "Jinkiers" and owns the group's tiger mascot, Scaredy Cat, who he bribes with Kitty Krunch to get things done.
  • In The Venture Bros. episode of "¡Viva los Muertos!," Sonny is a composite of 1970s serial killer David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz and Shaggy. Sonny believes his dog, Groovy, can talk to him, which makes him look paranoid as Groovy will only talk to him, which may be a result of the prescription pills that his leader, Ted (a parody of Ted Bundy), bribes him with by referring to them as "Groovy treats."
  • In the Hannah Montana episode "We Are Family - Now Get Me Some Water," Jackson, with no medical background, massages Sean's back, but only makes it worse. His reason for doing it the way he did is that he saw Scooby do it to Shaggy, who are supposed to be his cousins, instead of a cartoon as Sean pointed out.
  • In the Yin Yang Yo! episode "Slumber Party of Doooom," characters who look and sound similar to Shaggy and Scooby are watching Yin and Yang dealing with zombies on TV, with Shaggy accusing Yin and Yang are stealing their montages while the zombies chase the twin rabbits, and then a second time when Yang gets the idea from a TV show that he can suck the zombie energy out of them, Shaggy lets out a surprised and angry, "What?!"

  • In the Smallville episode "Abandoned," Lois said to Shelby that he was Scooby to Clark's Shaggy.
  • In the Psych episode "In Plain Fright," a haunted house, amusement park, and a comment Lassiter makes about how kids should be scared of the law instead of adults in costumes, after uncovering a dead guy, leads Shawn to argue that they've got "bona fide Scooby-Doo case". This is followed by Shawn wanting Gus to say, "Zoinks," who refuses, but says, "Jinkies," instead. The park's vice president comes in to tell them he knows who murdered the man, to which a satisfied Shawn wants the vice president to tell all the doubters and "Scooby-Don'ts" (referring to Lassiter) of the murderer, who then reveals to him that it was a ghost. Shawn, not having expected to hear that, says, "Zoinks."
  • At the beginning of the sixth episode of Becoming Human, Adam lists Shaggy and Scooby as a great crime fighting duo due to their chemistry.

  • In The Cleveland Show episode "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."

Rallo then feeds him a dog biscuit, with Cleveland responding in a happy Scooby-like tone.
  • In the So Random! episode "Cole & Dylan Sprouse," Scooby and Shaggy are jailed for 20 years in the "Sally Jensen, Kid Lawyer" sketch, for being irresponsible cartoon role models for a young girl who after losing her bike, stole her neighbor's Great Dane, took her mother's minivan, and fed the dog Scooby Bites the whole time which leads to a "big Scooby doo-doo" in the back seat. While behind bars, Shaggy insists, "Like, zoinks, man, it wasn't our fault the dog couldn't hold it." Jensen, who doesn't believe them, harasses Scooby and Shaggy from the other side and informs them they'll be away for 20 years (140 in dog years), which scares Scooby into Shaggy's arms.
  • In the Plastic Man short "Super Hero Sketch Artist," the old woman describes to Plastic Man that her mugger looked "shaggy," which causes Plastic Man to morph into Shaggy, with an accompanying sound bite of a goofy laugh that sounds like Matthew Lillard's take on the character.
  • In the New Teen Titans short "Turn Back the Clock," Mad Mod turns back time altering the appearances of the Teen Titans with each passing decade, with the 70s making them look like Mystery Inc.; Cyborg is Shaggy, who uses "like" inappropriately in a sentence.

There is an inside joke about Shaggy being a stonerTw when Hermes asks Fry why he always has the munchies, his eyes are bloodshot, he's paranoid, and the van has a "skunky odor." Fry shrugs it off by saying, "Search me." But then follows it through with "No, don't. I'm carrying" and laughs sheepishly. As a fun factoid, Billy West, the voice of Fry, didn't have to go far in finding his inner Shaggy as he was the official voice of Shaggy in the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.
  • In the film Bad Neighbors, two pledges are called Scooby and Shaggy when told to investigate.
  • The series is parodied in the Austin & Ally episode "Mysteries & Meddling Kids," when while at a disco party, Dez and his friends dress up as his favorite characters from a 70s cartoon called Groovy Goat and the Mystery Bunch, with Dez as the hippie Reggie, who owns a goat named Groovy, and uses the catchphrase, "Cachoinkers."

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."
