I never knew what Shaggy's deal was. Was he supposed to be always high on pot and LSD, which is why he oould "talk" to his dog? It wasn't until years later that someone pointed out that freddie and daphne(?) always slipped off alone, suggesting they were having sex while the rest of the team did all the work.
The show was developed in the mid-60s and was going to feature that gang as stereotypes of teenage culture at the time, complete with nicknames that were just 60s teen slang . Later revisions dialed all that back but the production team liked shaggy and scooby so much they didn't change them that much. Hence they're the only ones with nicknames and shaggy looks like a pot head, probably because he was based of teens who were.
watch old episodes of Scooby Doo. That entire world is like a post-apocalyptic wasteland where everything is disused or run into shambles or everyone's hit by economic crisis so old houses are no longer maintained & fall apart, but luckily there's always some treasure lying around close by. Everyone's so poor that crime rates have gone through the roof & these are such dark times that everyone is afraid & superstitious and the criminals take advantage of that. This world's a crap place to live.
People always liken Shaggy's name to the sex term, as in "to shag". I'm pretty sure it's more in reference to scruffy, like "a shaggy dog" or a "shag carpet". Still, it is pretty weird once you point it out that Shaggy takes his dog literally everywhere, no matter what. He's like one of those people who pretends their dog is a legitimate service dog to get it into a restaurant, when it isn't. It's a bit of a dick move.
@@thekinginyellow1744 Yeah, that's what I was saying. Shaggy, as used in Scooby Doo, means scruffy, unkempt, messy. The two characters in the sketch are saying he's called Shaggy as a "hollow sexual boast", as in he's someone who shags a lot.
In the World of Scooby Doo all Villains are Realty People in one way or another, either speculators, Property Managers, Caretakers or Would be investors that want to cheat people, scare them off or make their lives intolerable via faked supernatural problems. Unlike in our world where Realty People are often involved in Shady Deals, Hedge Fund Manager Speculators and their employees or ex-Presidential Candidates/Casino Owners/Money Launderers or just plain frauds.... Oh but some of them do pretend to be servants of supernatural powers and beings...
they're just saying that it would always be a friend of the mystery gang that would be like, "Hey there's a ghost in a building that I own, make it go away, please."
They're acting gay because the sketch really only works if it's a couple planning the parties (why else would they always plan who to invite to parties at their shared house together?) and they are two male actors. So they're just a couple in this sketch, who happen to both be male, and thus gay.
HAH. I love this so much... But "why doesn't she get contacts?" "Oh, I think it's a lesbian thing..." was a bit awkward as I'd just spent ten minutes ranting to my best friend about how I refused to get contacts. Friend: Um... Mandy? Me: Hey! I'M bisexual!
It wasn't until my second viewing that I realized they were playing a gay couple. I thought they were just British middle class guys. Although, in the sketch David _does_ sound a lot like Alan Carr.
@TheFinrider I was completely obsessed with it when I was 7, I think it was on a trading card or something. I could tell you all of their full names if you actually care :L
I always assumed it's partly just that they're two guys and a lot of stories are based on a couple. And if they get one of the women who sometimes work with them to do it then one of them has to sit out the sketch, which maybe they don't want to. (And drag looks silly, it's a totally different effect and makes it a totally different joke)
I showed this to a friend recently and he laughed so much he had an attack of diarrhoea during which he threw up in my bath (shitting side-saddle whilst barfing over the side of the tub). The line about Scooby shitting over everything sent him into such raptures of mirth that neither his belly nor his bowels could cope and the mayhem alluded to in the sketch became a dreadful reality in my bog. It's 3 weeks later and I'm still finding dubious chunks in my loofah. True story, unfortunately.
@@zapkvr0101 Er, no. "Perfect English" just means English that is completely comprehensible and contains no mistakes. It doesn't require speaking in a particular accent, especially an accent that is now vanishingly rare.
I have no idea why people are commenting on the sexual orientation on the characters. When I first saw this skit on DVD, I didn't even think that it was a couple, because there were no reasons to think that. If it was a man and a woman I would have taken the skit in the exact same way. whether the characters are supposed to be a couple or not is irrelevant to the skit, and if they are, so what? I am sure I have seen many other Mitchell And Webb skits that have gay couple without that being the butt of the joke.

According to a recent, car-crash remake, Velma is, indeed, a lesbian.
Indeed, because the character's sexuality was absolutely crucial to the plot.
@@lordprotector3367 She's been into girls for a while. She was bi in the previous good series

Velma was a confirmed lesbian before that series you speak of.
"yes it is a little impetuous, but I think you have to forgive that of a talking dog" haha genius

Amazing. More of these sketches
Back in the day a pub I frequented had a barman who looked like Shaggy; obviously that became his nickname.
1:51 Best line ever delivered.

Best. Sketch. Ever.
I think we can all agree Shaggy was a stoner.
This three minute sketch contains more wit and satire than the entire first season of Velma, the creators of that show should be ashamed of themselves
I was convinced it was gonna shit everywhere!
"OH, not his bloody dog!" This entire sketch about made my root beer shoot out my nose!
Shaggy could crush you with 0.001% of his power.
You've really enhanced this clip by filming from a 1970s TV through a set of curtains.
