trivia questions and quiz questions
 Scooby-Doo trivia
| The "dog-treat/Scooby Snack" gag
had been used before in several Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including
Quick Draw McGraw and Dastardly and Muttley. |
| Scooby-Doo appears at times in
Cartoon Network's The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
as a character who is described as being in the "wrong
show." He has spoken little, some of his lines being, "What
am I doin' here, man? I'm just a stinkin' dog!", and "Mandy
made fun of the way I talk. I mean look at me! I'm a stinkin'
dog!" |
| The second-season episode of The
Venture Bros. entitled ¡Viva los Muertos! features
the entire Scooby-Doo cast re-imagined as famous serial killers
and radicals. Scooby's analogue, "Groovy", is possessed
by a demon and talks only to "Sonny", Shaggy's
double, enticing him to commit murder. The pairing is a parody
of David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam", who claimed
that his neighbor's dog Harvey was a "high demon" who
commanded Berkowitz to kill. |
| In Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get
a Clue!, Scooby, as well as Shaggy, are not as cowardly as
they were in previous series, although in the episode Lightning
Strikes Twice, Scooby is shown with a severe case of astraphobia,
something he rarely had in the other shows. |
| The name Scooby-Doo comes from
the last line of the Frank Sinatra song "Strangers In
The Night", although other singers have used the
phrase before Sinatra's song was released. |
| French names of the characters
are different; Velma became Vera and Shaggy Sammy. As for
Scooby-Doo his name was first written "Scoubidou" but
lately, the original spelling has been used for the series
and direct-to-video movies. |
Fred trivia
| In the original cartoon series
and all of its spinoffs (save for A Pup Named Scooby-Doo),
Fred is voiced by Frank Welker; the junior high version of
Fred featured in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is voiced by Carl
Stevens. Frank Welker instead voiced Fred's uncle, Eddie
in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. In Warner Bros.' two live-action
Scooby-Doo feature films and the Robot Chicken sketch (which
they encounter Jason Voorhees), he is played by Freddie Prinze
Jr... |
| In the Italian dubbing of the series
he was renamed (for no apparent reason) "Alan". |
| The second-season episode of The
Venture Bros. entitled ¡Viva los Muertos! features
the entire Scooby-Doo cast re-imagined as famous serial killers
and radicals. Fred's analogue, "Ted", is charismatic
and abusive, à la Ted Bundy, and bullies his companions
into driving around in a van and solving nonexistent mysteries.
He is also a sadist, as evidenced by his line, "Patty
(Daphne), being out of your box isn't a right. It's a privilege.
Baby, you don't want to go back in your box, do you?" |
| Hank Venture of the Venture Bros.
is also often seen with hair color (blonde) and clothing
matching that of Fred's in the early days of the cartoon
(white button-down shirt and orange ascot). |
Daphne trivia
| According to the trivia quiz on
the DVDs in the 'Complete 1st and 2nd Seasons' pack, Daphne's
father helped pay for the van the gang drives around in,
the psychedelically painted "Mystery Machine." |
| In the Johnny Bravo cartoon "Bravo
Dooby-Doo", while Velma liked Johnny, Daphne was a bit
harsh towards him. He offered Daphne a huge dinner plate
in one scene and she stomped on his foot, hard. This is in
contrast to a spoof commercial featuring a relationship between
Johnny and Velma, which Velma ended when Johnny proposed
marriage. |
| The second-season episode of The
Venture Bros. entitled ¡Viva los Muertos! features
the entire Scooby-Doo cast re-imagined as famous serial killers
and radicals. Daphne's analgoue, "Patty", is frightened
and submissive, somewhat reminiscent of Patty Hearst. |
| In an episode of What's New Scooby
Doo, Daphne is outraged that a criminal cast a television
extra to impersonate her and comments "Was Sarah Michelle
Gellar too busy?", making a reference to Gellar playing
Daphne in the movies. |
| Daphne also appears in an episode
of "Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law" when Shaggy
and Scooby are accused of doing drugs and running from the
police. She also appears in the slide show as also being
on drugs. She is constantly hit on by Peanut (Birdboy) throughout
the episode. |
| Daphne was voted number 9 in Maxim's
list of Hottest Cartoon Babes. |
Velma trivia
| The junior-high school aged Pup
Named Scooby-Doo version of Velma was animated with a rapid
walk similar to that of Marvin the Martian. She was also
drawn with glasses somewhat as large as her head, and wore
the same clothes style as she does when she is older. This
younger Velma always carried a suitcase with her (compact
size) that holds a gigantic computer. Her surname "Dinkley" was
often used in this series (previous series rarely mentioned
it). This version of Velma also rarely talked, and usually
only spoke with the word "Jinkies!", meaning she
had figured something out or had solved the case. |
| In the Johnny Bravo episode "Bravo
Dooby Doo," the Scooby Doo cast meet Johnny, with Velma
briefly developing a crush on Johnny, but soon changing her
mind by the episode's end; although in an approximately-2004
commercial featuring her, Dexter and him, she seems to resumed
her crush. In another commercial, Johnny relates how he and
Velma had a whirlwind romance that ended when she rejected
his marriage proposal. |
| Also in "Bravo Dooby Doo," homage
is paid to Velma's catchphrase, "Jinkies!" When
Johnny and the gang are being chased by the evil gardener
Johnny exclaims, "Jinkies," then wonders, "Jinkies,
Jinkies. Hey, isn't that a breakfast cereal or something?" |
| A parody of the Scooby-Doo characters
appeared in the 2001 film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
The Velma character (listed in the credits as "Bookish
Girl") was portrayed by Jane Silvia. This portrayal
implied that Velma was a lesbian. |
| In Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?
Velma is technically one of the villains due to taking on
the persona of Cleopatra as part of a hoax she perpetrates
during the movie. |
| Velma is said in the What's New
Scooby Doo series to be an avid fan of American ice hockey,
and is also revealed to be an accomplished wrestler. |
| There is an old Cartoon Network
commercial showing the gang running late. It reveals a barefoot
Velma, looking through her drawers for a pair of her trademark
orange socks. |
| Velma and the gang appear one of
the episodes of "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" where
Shaggy and Scooby Doo are accused of doing drugs and running
from police. She is also seen in the slide show of how the
other gang members appear to be on drugs too. |
| In one episode of Ned's Declassified
School Survival Guide, Lisa Zemo is dressed in Velma's traditional
outfit. When Ned Bigby and Billy Loomer run by her she falls,
drops her glasses and exclames "My glasses, my glasses,
I can't see without my glasses!" |
