Scooby-Doo

Scoobert "Scooby" Dooby Doo is the eponymous character and protagonist of the animated television franchise of the same name created in 1969 (called Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!) by the American animation company Hanna-Barbera. He is currently voiced by Frank Welker.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He’s one of Hanna Barbera’s earliest and most unforgettable iconic characters to ever be created.
 * 2) He’s also one of the most iconic cartoon characters in general.
 * 3) The way he pronounces most words with an “R” sounding is both funny and very memorable.
 * 4) He’s probably one of the best-known cartoon dogs/animals in television history.
 * 5) He’s gotten many movies, television series, and spin-offs throughout the years.
 * 6) *In fact, he has gotten a fully animated theatrical movie that manages to be the first for the franchise to make a story and mystery that both focuses on him, rather than people in costumes. Titled: SCOOB!.
 * 7) The late Don Messick and Frank Welker do an amazing job voicing as Scooby-Doo.
 * 8) His design is well-drawn, amazing, cartoonish, and a fairly decent and great depiction of a Great Dane.
 * 9) *He also has a puppy design in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo!, and, in the beginning of SCOOB! that’s very cute.
 * 10) He has shown to be a very likable and popular main character through the viewers’ eyes.
 * 11) He and his owner/best friend, Shaggy, share an amazing friendship with each other.
 * 12) He is also a great family man, such as being a good Uncle to his nephew, Scrappy-Doo, during the 70s and 80s.
 * 13) His constant running gag of how he never stops eating food is extremely funny and he’s even willing to help solve a mystery for a Scooby Snack.
 * 14) He is incredibly kind, friendly and sweet to everyone.
 * 15) The times when he and Shaggy are cowards are also very funny since their cowardly demeanor can really get a good amount of laughs out of the viewers, which is one of the most memorable things about the Scooby-Doo franchise.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While his design looks good in most Scooby-Doo media, there were unfortunate times where it did not look good:
 * 2) * In Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue!, he looks really weird and a little uncanny. It's interesting to note that he’s supposed to represent his live-action appearance from the live-action Scooby-Doo movies.
 * 3) * Speaking of the live-action movies, He and Scrappy-Doo's designs look like nightmare fuel in live-action form because they look like normal Great Danes compared to how they were on the show, which makes them fly straight into the uncanny valley.
 * 4) * In Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, his redesign is awful and looks very little to nothing like his original counterpart, and instead looks more like a bad attempt to imitate Seth MacFarlane's art style like Family Guy, American Dad! or Brickleberry's art style. Speaking of his redesign, it is unfitting in the Scooby-Doo franchise, as it fits more into an adult cartoon or parody.
 * 5) There have been unfortunate times where he fell into Flanderization land:
 * 6) *In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, while he wasn’t actually flanderized, it felt like he was, because he became a huge attention whore who won't let Shaggy have romantic relationships, despite having no qualms about wanting to be with Nova.
 * 7) *In Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, he was flanderized into becoming dumber and a worshipper of only food; he even disobeyed Velma not to continue eating a food trap in one of the episodes. Thankfully, despite the Flanderization, his personality is barely even different from his usual self.
 * 8) * In Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, he and Shaggy are even dumber in this film than in the last one.
