The show is made for unlikeable bitter resentful SJW’s like there main character. They actually think she is a role model. They always make their heros into villains and don’t realize it
This show literally feels like petty revenge against people who didn't like you in high school. Not the people who bullied you in high school, just the people who didn't like you enough to want to be your friend. If the show is any indication, you don't need Mystery Inc to figure out why no one liked the creator in high school

And despite many other problems with the character and show itself, the real icing on the cake is that this is supposed to be a parody of Scooby Doo. With barely any mystery and plenty of one-note characters and unfunny jokes, it’s just a better looking big mouth with a confusion of who’s target audience it’s for other than the people who made it. Velma is not nearly as complex as you say it is, and even goku has far better writing than her.

I bet if Scooby was in the show there would be cringe jokes about him humping Velma's leg, or licking his own balls. That's the top tier level comedy we're dealing with here.
He'd be a little yappy thing and when *Norville* is pressed about having such a wimpy dog, he'd say something like, "What, you think I'd own a great dane or something because I'm black? Tch, racist much?"
that or since strictly speaking it wouldn't break Harkness' Rule Scoob n Velma would have a secret relationship behind Daphne's back ... that's a thing I've typed now
I actually enjoy this show and She-Hulk in particular because it is a wide open window on how upper class (I use that term loosely) over the hill feminist women view the world. Only they would think these shows are good but what they do is display their hatred of men, whites and any society that refuses to accept how wonderful, insightful and great they are. Any man who has broken up with that toxic girlfriend we have all had at one time or another knows what the very first thing she will say to anyone she can get to listen. "He's got a small dick." How many small dick "jokes" are in this show? This show is written by those very toxic girlfriends all grown up and no longer girlfriend material. This show is Mindy desperately trying to stay relevant by lashing out at everyone who doesn't think she is stunning and brave.
Mindy has always been off, self hating to seek validation and always pushed the “I only date white men” onto her shows also personal life. She’s so cringe, a clown, an entire circus 🤡🎪
As an amateur animator myself, I feel so bad for the animators who worked on this because I just know they spent hours trying to perfect the animation only for everyone to sh¡t on this show because of the screen writers poor writing.
Honestly, the animation is not bad because it similar to Venture Bros. But the problem is they race-swapped 3 of the main characters of Scooby Doo and makes them unlikable. The only character who still same is Fred but he becomes an insecure spoiled rich kid who can't cut a steak. Probably Shaggy or Norville in this show isn't a bad person from what I heard but is it really neccesary to make him fall in love with Velma who is toxic as hell in this show. And Daphne is a drug dealer who has 2 lesbian moms? What the fuck?
I love the art style, the way Velma is drawn is very nice to look at But the writing…the writing makes we wish humanity WAS destroyed by nuclear warfare during the Cold War
I feel this same way about game devs, the people that are actually coding the game and making all the graphics. They just want to give it their all, but it's the suits in the corporate office that rush them into releasing an unfinished, broken game. The suits put profit over entertainment, I generally like capitalism, but it needs to stay out of the entertainment industries. If you make an entertaining show, game, or movie the money will roll in naturally.
I think the original show was already pretty "Inclusive" or whatever the word they use nowadays. It had two woman, two men, two popular kids and two less popular kids and a talking dog. And they all came together even with them all being different people. It was great.
And Mystery Inc had this pretty badass black DJ lady that was also a former member of the previous Mystery Inc generation. I mean, that version of the show was a matter of taste, but at least it was much more watchable than this. 😂
I mean that’s not really what diversity is but it doesn’t matter Lmfao, the show was fine as it is. Mindy kaling doesn’t care about diversity she just thought it would make “the kids” like her show. Changing the race of characters in an ANIMATED show is just weird. This isn’t what diversity is
@@fart63 At the time, it is quite the diversity it needed to represent. If they wanted to revamp the show with more diversity, they'd just add honorary members because messing with the main cast is disrespectful to the origins.
Also, the Mystery Inc. Are full of 4 teenagers with one talking dog with different backgrounds. Fred is coming from rich family but he's very down to Earth and likes to help everyone and also act as the leader and he's also likes to prepare the traps. Daphne is a pretty girl from rich family and she used to be the damsel in distress only later they tone it down and makes her more vulnarable Velma is a nerd and she's the brain of the group and she also likes to lose her glasses clumsily Shaggy is a stoner and a coward but he has to face his fear to solve the face Scooby-Doo is Shaggy's dog who's also similar to him and they both also love snacks. And just like any dogs, he's loyal to his Master and anyone who cares of him.
The reason Velma is such an unlikeable character is because she's literally just a fictionalized version of her voice actress, who is, by all conceivable metrics, kind of a terrible person.
@@patricksalone5871 The titular character is based on her, and voiced by her. She's the second-in-command executive producer for the show. One of the production companies that made the show is hers. The only thing that is at all relatable to the original Scooby IP is the character names they've hijacked for this egregious waste of animation talent.
I love that all of my friends said that I was narrow-minded because I said this show was going to flop. They told me it would be good, but they couldn't have been more wrong.
95% of hack directors: "I've had this amazing, ORIGINAL idea!" Studios: "What do you need?" 95% of hack directors: "A beloved childhood IP." Fandom: "Fuck all the way off and when you're there, keep fucking off some more."
I love how we have modern shows that try to make "strong, tough, witty, intelligent, and confident characters" by making them outright bullies. And the best part is I'm betting whoever's creating these consider themselves as champions for anti-bullying, anti-oppression, anti-bad, yet look at this.
they're not even doing it right. literally everyone's agreeing this characterization is for like 2 different crowds at once and it's not working out for either of them
Almost like all the talk of the progressive style people, when put into practice, turn out to he just as bad as what they claim to be fighting against.
Saying it's the best animated show on HBO max is like saying your mom/dad was the best mom/dad you ever had when they're the only mom/dad you've ever had
I have a firm belief HBO Max intentionally hired the worst possible team to create an adult animated show so they can send it out to die and use it as justification for them cutting animation from the service in general.
I was talking about this the other day with my sister (I’m someone who wants to work in animation) and she said this exact thing. It’s very likely being used as a scapegoat to terminate animation and say no one likes it, when it’s not true. We love animation, we just don’t want to see whatever Velma is supposed to be
Honestly that makes a whole lot of sense actually, I was trying to wrap my head around how they can cancel basically everything they were making but somehow this dodged the chopping block but yeah if they're trying to justify purging all animation this is a great way to do it.
I wouldn't be surprised that this could be the reason. The jabs at adults who watch cartoons, the constant punching down on people who watched it cuz they liked the original IP, I'm only hoping that this backfires spectacularly in HBO Max's face when people aren't saying "We hate animation" and instead saying "We loved our old shows, bring them back"
God forbid you have a non douchy smart white guy in media anymore. The butchering of Fred's character and the way they made fun of him made me more mad than anything else in this show.
I watched it not knowing anything. My gf sat down to watch it with me. The second episode ended, and she turned to me and said “wow….this…this is really bad.” And I started dying laughing. I was just so in shock about how bad it was.
Robot chicken once made a sketch where the Scooby gang is all murdered by an ax murderer with the exception of Velma who bangs said murderer. That 5 minute skit had more accurate characters and at the very least didn't forget Scooby Doo
You can see the pain on his face and hear it in his voice. This show killed a little bit of Charlie's spirit. I hope he was able to watch a little Captain Pronin to feel better.
You know that feeling where you ponder over deliberately writing something awful for the sole purpose of pissing people off, but are stopped by your common sense? Where your conscience rightfully interrupts with "Yeah, but this is actual garbage and everyone will hate you for creating such a thing"? This show is the result of (fanfic) writers with no such feelings, who proceed to deliver the most vile shit you've ever seen straight into your eyes.
Velma is the creators' self-insert of this show. It's so embarrassing to see how different Velma and the others are from the Scooby Gang that we all know.
Cartoons have always had self insert characters, it juat shows that modern creators are terrible people. That's why it's soo good that Velma is getting universally shat on - the writers/creators that self-insert need to be shown that their personally is total fucking trash.
Self insert cartoons seem to be the next big thing. “Are you an overweight asshat no one likes and judges everyone but expect to be respected, make a comic”
@@LockeRobsta They probably won't take much more away than woke money. Can you imagine as easily as I can that they'll never take the time to entertain any amount of criticism? Even after getting cancelled, it'll be another person's fault.
They should have called this show "Mindy's Mysteries", which was originally what they had in mind until they thought "No no, make it about Velma. Let's ruin the Scooby-Doo franchise!"
Lke actually. Mindy Kaling is just not funny. Besides the office every project she has been a part of has just been insufferable. I could not stand her character on the Office either. I didn't mind oscar, I liked stanley and didn't like andy or angela. While they all had an occasional moment or line that was good I could not wait for them to get off screen. Mindy Kaling Peaked in the office. Apparently she did lots of writing there but now her writing has regressed to old tired jokes. Maybe it's bad delivery or she is out of ideas or her original ideas are worn out. I think it's the latter.
It's so sad that they did this to Velma and the group. I'm all for kind of modernizing certain types of art and creating something new and different, but they changed the characters and their personalities altogether. Changing the race of each character is one thing, but changing who they are - Velma who is supposed to be an intelligent, caring, and beautiful character is now an asshole. Straight up. And to do what they did to Shaggy, my main man, my beautiful stoner and best friend of a being made of pure love and scaredy-catness. There's none of the original character to any part of the crew. There's no charm, just horrible humor and lame attempts at really vulgar content, that does nothing but enrage people and make them cringe. That's not what Scooby Doo is, that's not the gang or what they do; they solve mysteries and put away bad guys while being silly and enjoying each others company in one way or the other. They respect and care for each other, they don't shit on everyone and make gross jokes about their dicks. All these asshole writers did was take the names of the characters and their clothes. Gross. So gross. Beyond disappointed in whatever this nasty show is. I hope it gets canceled and removed.
@@genericcommentarychannel5343 the bots that gave it a 7% instead of 0% liked it. Actually no, that’s not fair to the bots. They weren’t created with free will.
@@genericcommentarychannel5343 There was somebody who was ass mad about it on Reddit a few days ago, so yeah. Somehow this abominable show has fans. I guess some people just have shit taste.
Yeah same, my faith in humanity was nonexistent after the “giant” incident but knowing humanity is sane enough to know how terribly horrendous this show is actually restores a little bit of my faith in humanity
Fun fact: norville is actually shaggy's name, that's not a thing with this show that's just shaggy's name. It's rarely used, kind of just one of those trivia things
"Sup guys it's manlet tiny man white shirt here. Just wanted to say this thing im talking about it fat stinky poo pee. Well that's about it. Alright see ya"
Like that movie Return To Sleepaway Camp with the fat kid who kept yelling "your ass stinks." He was constantly bullied, but when he wasn't, he'd bully someone himself and act horrible to everyone else. Basically take that character, make him "self-aware" and "meta," and make it Scooby Doo-related for whatever reason.
Sounds like this show is a fanfic from someone who was an asshole in school and got picked on for it, so they "identified" with Velma and thought she was just like them, completely missing that Velma is a perfectly nice person and not just a geek trope.
The fact she has the audacity to claim Fred as rude for saying he has a condition to not notice people who are hot when she, herself, judges everyone by looks and smarts. 🤦🏻♀️
the #1 thing to remember when rebooting is to stick to the canon. When you reboot a show your main audience is the people who grew up and watched the original show and their kids, thats how you get a renewed interest in an IP is to show the younger generation something that you loved to watch as a kid in hopes they like it too.
You brave man, you did what many did not have the strength to do, not only that you had to analyze it too meaning you really had to pay attention to it too .......
The executives decided on that one, and the staff were already not wanting him in for the "tone of the show." Anyone up high could've seen including Scooby in this would've been a blow to the icon, but apparently screwing up everyone else is totally a-okay to be greenlit.
This show is a spit in the face to not only every animation fan in the world, but to the people who helped make Scooby-Doo the fun mystery cartoon that it is.
The reason Velma is such an awful person is because Mindy herself is an awful person. She literally admit and joked on Conan about how she sexually harassed her employee by randomly kissing him without his permission, then said while laughing and smiling that "if you tell anyone, you're fired." Again, not only did she admit all of this live on Conan, she said it as if it were some hilarious life story and not a blatant admission of sexual harassment. If you don't believe me, just search on RUclips "mindy kaling about her kiss with lee pace" and click the first video.
my favorite thing about him. his ability to come up with funny metaphors at the top of his head is a real talent, lots of people wish they could do that
You know a show is REALLY bad when both sides of the aisle hate it. From what I understand, a lot of the folks on the left are claiming the show is a conservative take on diversity. How they arrived at that conclusion, I have no idea. It's like claiming a fart came from a person with no butt-hole.
To be fair to these adult children parading around as "creatives", they've been told for the last two decades or so that anybody who disagrees with them or doesn't like what they are doing is obviously just an 'ist' or a 'phobe'. Nothing they do is ever shit, it's the ever oppressive society holding them down, man! It would be funny if they were just failing with their own creations and ruining one or two networks.. But instead they are pissing over the entirety of pop culture that came before them... because can't you see how ohhh so enlightened and righteous they are?!?
@@stephenthomas1492 That is interesting that "both side of the aisle" are not liking it. My guess is the show probably lean or pander so heavy on one side that it appears to be mocking to the people they are trying to cater.
The way Fred and Daphne were portrayed in this show literally made me so mad,I never got mad at any adaptations,yeah many are bad but this one killed me
They base it on what they "think" the internet would like. I always hate how Stan twitter people would put Velma on pedestal and disrespect my girl Daphne who did nothing but be pretty and unproblematic. Like why is the world these days trying to convince me to dislike Daphne and it ain't working. Poor Fred also doesn't deserve to be drag so what if he looks like he has privilege he's still has always been a likable chatacter who has his own personality more than having a small p. like why do them like that they have always been admirable they look like the popular kids in school hanging out with the nerd and weird kid and his dorky dog on ghost adventures and that pretty damn cool
That's quite a selective comparison. I'd agree on being rich and privileged but Fred is more than that. He is kind to others and has a fascinating hobby (making traps) . Mindy on the other hand... EDIT: Apologies for my mistake. He's referring to this show's Fred and not the canon Fred Jones. WTF did they do to my boi, Fred!?
Velma has literally a kids show level writing and characters but has blood, swearing, drugs and nudity to make it look like an adult animated show. By Kids show, i mean like Sesame Street or Play School, not good shows like Gravity Falls or SpongeBob
It gives warmth to my cold black heart to know Scooby-Doo is remembered so fondly this show ended up being universally hated. Edit: (Holy crap this comment blew up and I was not expecting that. Thanks everyone!)
As a show that came out in the 70's, basically everybody alive now watched it growing up as kids. Anything going off that path that has been put in concrete was doomed from the start, they should've just continued Mystery Incorporated, or made a new IP but clearly it didn't sell to the network the first time or two so they decided to just make it Scooby-Doo but with no Scooby-Doo
I can’t believe they took the OG nice popular kids (and the most realistic portrayal of how popular kids act) and made them horrible. We need Justice for Fred and Daphne.
Our institutions, especially Hollywood, are basically chock-full of losers who can't get over their childhood days and so are trying to make our lives as miserable as theirs are.
And Scooby I've really started to vent about this mistake being created, whoever greenlit this crap is going to live to regret it and not only regrets, the shear messages from the original Scooby-Doo fanbase is going to be a furnace of texts slowly roasting.
It's been a long time since high school but I distinctly remember the popular kids being popular because they were charming people. Anyone who acted like a snob or a sociopath got mocked
The craziest part is that in anime which is rife with child-sexualization, it is seen as completely normal. Nobody ever talks about how unbelievably creepy it is and a lot of viewers even like that about them. Absolutely terrifying imo
it's like the halo show writers not even bothering to check out the games. the people in charge just had no fucking respect, care, or inkling to even take a passing glance at any of the source material.
@llyis if you enjoyed the martian I highly recommend another book by the same author titled "Project: Hail Mary". It's pretty much more of the same with a new situation that they put the protagonist in.
I wonder if someone told Mindy Kalhing "hey, you kind of sound like Velma!" - and after a few laughs, two hours, and ten beers, they had an entire season of a show written, recorded, and storyboarded. I refuse to believe any more thought went into it than that.

I actually enjoy this show and She-Hulk in particular because it is a wide open window on how upper class (I use that term loosely) over the hill feminist women view the world. Only they would think these shows are good but what they do is display their hatred of men, whites and any society that refuses to accept how wonderful, insightful and great they are. Any man who has broken up with that toxic girlfriend we have all had at one time or another knows what the very first thing she will say to anyone she can get to listen. "He's got a small dick." How many small dick "jokes" are in this show? This show is written by those very toxic girlfriends all grown up and no longer girlfriend material. This show is Mindy desperately trying to stay relevant by lashing out at everyone who doesn't think she is stunning and brave.
Yes
You beat me to it.
Mindy has always been off, self hating to seek validation and always pushed the “I only date white men” onto her shows also personal life. She’s so cringe, a clown, an entire circus 🤡🎪
Self insert characters be like
As an amateur animator myself, I feel so bad for the animators who worked on this because I just know they spent hours trying to perfect the animation only for everyone to sh¡t on this show because of the screen writers poor writing.
Honestly, the animation is not bad because it similar to Venture Bros. But the problem is they race-swapped 3 of the main characters of Scooby Doo and makes them unlikable. The only character who still same is Fred but he becomes an insecure spoiled rich kid who can't cut a steak. Probably Shaggy or Norville in this show isn't a bad person from what I heard but is it really neccesary to make him fall in love with Velma who is toxic as hell in this show. And Daphne is a drug dealer who has 2 lesbian moms? What the fuck?
I love the art style, the way Velma is drawn is very nice to look at
But the writing…the writing makes we wish humanity WAS destroyed by nuclear warfare during the Cold War
I feel this same way about game devs, the people that are actually coding the game and making all the graphics. They just want to give it their all, but it's the suits in the corporate office that rush them into releasing an unfinished, broken game. The suits put profit over entertainment, I generally like capitalism, but it needs to stay out of the entertainment industries. If you make an entertaining show, game, or movie the money will roll in naturally.
I think the original show was already pretty "Inclusive" or whatever the word they use nowadays. It had two woman, two men, two popular kids and two less popular kids and a talking dog. And they all came together even with them all being different people. It was great.
And Mystery Inc had this pretty badass black DJ lady that was also a former member of the previous Mystery Inc generation. I mean, that version of the show was a matter of taste, but at least it was much more watchable than this. 😂
I mean that’s not really what diversity is but it doesn’t matter Lmfao, the show was fine as it is. Mindy kaling doesn’t care about diversity she just thought it would make “the kids” like her show. Changing the race of characters in an ANIMATED show is just weird. This isn’t what diversity is
@@fart63 At the time, it is quite the diversity it needed to represent. If they wanted to revamp the show with more diversity, they'd just add honorary members because messing with the main cast is disrespectful to the origins.
Also, the Mystery Inc. Are full of 4 teenagers with one talking dog with different backgrounds.
Fred is coming from rich family but he's very down to Earth and likes to help everyone and also act as the leader and he's also likes to prepare the traps.
Daphne is a pretty girl from rich family and she used to be the damsel in distress only later they tone it down and makes her more vulnarable
Velma is a nerd and she's the brain of the group and she also likes to lose her glasses clumsily
Shaggy is a stoner and a coward but he has to face his fear to solve the face
Scooby-Doo is Shaggy's dog who's also similar to him and they both also love snacks. And just like any dogs, he's loyal to his Master and anyone who cares of him.
Or even better than changing the race of already existing characters, how about just make your own characters.
The reason Velma is such an unlikeable character is because she's literally just a fictionalized version of her voice actress, who is, by all conceivable metrics, kind of a terrible person.
I looked her up and wow she's awful
How is she a terrible person?

She's the second-in-command executive producer for the show.
One of the production companies that made the show is hers.
The only thing that is at all relatable to the original Scooby IP is the character names they've hijacked for this egregious waste of animation talent.
This show is the embodiment of "I expect nothing and I'm still let down."
”Our standards were low but holy FUCK!” is another apt description.
I expected it to be awesome so you can imagine the letdown
I think its more like "I heard the premise and hated it immediately, and I'm glad its failing"

No it's more like we said it was gonna be bad and you took it for a challenge
Scooby did the opposite of Scrappy: Scrappy was a bad character who joined a good show. Scooby was a good character who left a bad show.

Saying it's the best animated show on HBO max is like saying your mom/dad was the best mom/dad you ever had when they're the only mom/dad you've ever had
What about people with step-parents?
You're overthinking this, it's not that deep
Mindy Kalin thought that she identified with Velma, not realizing that Toot from _Drawn Together_ is a perfect representation of her.
Please Don't Compare Drawn Together With This DUMPSTER FIRE. Drawn Together Is Actually GOOD & FUNNY.
I have a firm belief HBO Max intentionally hired the worst possible team to create an adult animated show so they can send it out to die and use it as justification for them cutting animation from the service in general.
I was talking about this the other day with my sister (I’m someone who wants to work in animation) and she said this exact thing. It’s very likely being used as a scapegoat to terminate animation and say no one likes it, when it’s not true. We love animation, we just don’t want to see whatever Velma is supposed to be
Honestly that makes a whole lot of sense actually, I was trying to wrap my head around how they can cancel basically everything they were making but somehow this dodged the chopping block but yeah if they're trying to justify purging all animation this is a great way to do it.
That makes more sense than any other explanation, even more than the theory that Mindy having black mail material
This actually holds weight. I’m subscribing to this theory.
I wouldn't be surprised that this could be the reason. The jabs at adults who watch cartoons, the constant punching down on people who watched it cuz they liked the original IP, I'm only hoping that this backfires spectacularly in HBO Max's face when people aren't saying "We hate animation" and instead saying "We loved our old shows, bring them back"
I like how Fred went from the smartest one next to Velma to being a literal punching bag. My boy didn't deserve this 😭
hes a white straight male. of course they think he deserves it.
Hes white, what did you expect, they hate you if your white, genuinely and unashamedly

Velma is the creators' self-insert of this show. It's so embarrassing to see how different Velma and the others are from the Scooby Gang that we all know.
Cartoons have always had self insert characters, it juat shows that modern creators are terrible people. That's why it's soo good that Velma is getting universally shat on - the writers/creators that self-insert need to be shown that their personally is total fucking trash.

Nah the show dumps on scooby doo all the time so they knew it was gonna be a scooby show the entire time.
Lke actually. Mindy Kaling is just not funny. Besides the office every project she has been a part of has just been insufferable. I could not stand her character on the Office either. I didn't mind oscar, I liked stanley and didn't like andy or angela. While they all had an occasional moment or line that was good I could not wait for them to get off screen. Mindy Kaling Peaked in the office. Apparently she did lots of writing there but now her writing has regressed to old tired jokes. Maybe it's bad delivery or she is out of ideas or her original ideas are worn out. I think it's the latter.

@@insertjokeh3r3 scooby show without the scooby is just show
It's so sad that they did this to Velma and the group. I'm all for kind of modernizing certain types of art and creating something new and different, but they changed the characters and their personalities altogether. Changing the race of each character is one thing, but changing who they are - Velma who is supposed to be an intelligent, caring, and beautiful character is now an asshole. Straight up.
And to do what they did to Shaggy, my main man, my beautiful stoner and best friend of a being made of pure love and scaredy-catness. There's none of the original character to any part of the crew. There's no charm, just horrible humor and lame attempts at really vulgar content, that does nothing but enrage people and make them cringe.
That's not what Scooby Doo is, that's not the gang or what they do; they solve mysteries and put away bad guys while being silly and enjoying each others company in one way or the other. They respect and care for each other, they don't shit on everyone and make gross jokes about their dicks. All these asshole writers did was take the names of the characters and their clothes. Gross. So gross. Beyond disappointed in whatever this nasty show is. I hope it gets canceled and removed.

Scrappy Doo could be reintroduced to the main series and fans would welcome him with open arms after seeing what this series did to the gang.

Velma sounds like the type of person that if you see her getting bully, you’ll go to the bullies and thank them for their service.
Or join them
“Bullies”, more like reasonable people she’s harassing
Like that movie Return To Sleepaway Camp with the fat kid who kept yelling "your ass stinks." He was constantly bullied, but when he wasn't, he'd bully someone himself and act horrible to everyone else. Basically take that character, make him "self-aware" and "meta," and make it Scooby Doo-related for whatever reason.
Sounds like this show is a fanfic from someone who was an asshole in school and got picked on for it, so they "identified" with Velma and thought she was just like them, completely missing that Velma is a perfectly nice person and not just a geek trope.

As a 30 year old man, I wish shows would stop over sexualizing characters that are literal minors
“Most Anime” allow me to introduce myself
Agreed. The shit is weird and disgusting.
The craziest part is that in anime which is rife with child-sexualization, it is seen as completely normal. Nobody ever talks about how unbelievably creepy it is and a lot of viewers even like that about them. Absolutely terrifying imo
@@fart63 And if you complain about ir, weebs'll just say that "it's a fictional character, lol, so it's ok"
@@Zakkious too true, too annoying, much like the velma show
We live in a world where one can actually say “even the critics hated the show” (2:13)
Jay Sherman : "It stinks!"
@@beauwalker9820 Damn, beaten to the punch.
It’s from the show the critic , he was a guess star on the simpsons in the 90s. 90s cartoon. Greg Daniels made it.
mindy khalin and by extension, this show, is the product of affirmative action. we need more representation....based entirely on merit
we also live in a world where the actual targeted demographic hates the show
it's like the halo show writers not even bothering to check out the games.
the people in charge just had no fucking respect, care, or inkling to even take a passing glance at any of the source material.
Mindy Kaling's voice annoys me. She sounds like an 8th grader reading a book report she's really proud of
“I’m glad they took Scooby behind the barn and put him down” was so much funnier than any minute of that show
Fr😭😭
Did him like Old Yeller
The didn't put him down. He ready the script and said hell no!
"stinkier than three garbage trucks having sex in a sulfur factory"
@@Darden7465 Lol. I was being a smartass
HBO saying it was their biggest animated premier ever is like Matt Damon in The Martian saying "I am the greatest botanist on this entire planet"
LMFAO
The young man in the video made the same joke so wtf are you doing?
i am so glad i get this joke, having the book for 2 years and just read it :)
@llyis if you enjoyed the martian I highly recommend another book by the same author titled "Project: Hail Mary". It's pretty much more of the same with a new situation that they put the protagonist in.
@@brodiemorris2081 Hail Mary is good
All this show did was tell us that Mindy was a loser in highschool and is still a loser today
I heard that the idea for the Velma show wasn’t supposed to be a scooby doo show and they just superimposed the Scooby Doo cast onto the show
I wonder if someone told Mindy Kalhing "hey, you kind of sound like Velma!" - and after a few laughs, two hours, and ten beers, they had an entire season of a show written, recorded, and storyboarded.
I refuse to believe any more thought went into it than that.
not a lot of thought goes into anything mindy does...
@@zackmash851 a lot of ppl dislike her rn not sure why tho
@@-aquamarine-324 She writes terrible self-insert characters that are horrible people and horribly unpleasant to watch/be around. Do you expect people to like her?
The success of the Mindy Project was a mistake.......
@@-aquamarine-324 she speaks openly about sexually harassing former employees, she's threatened to fire people for non work related things, she's a TERF, and a very selfish conservative
i thought he was exaggerating about the jokes being all the same. But literally the first joke is her about to tell you her story and interrupting herself saying "i know youre probably confused because detective stories are usually about tall, handsome guys who get handed even more power" like wtf
Not surprising at all. A bunch of insufferable morons wrote this and apparently everything else coming out these days
Omg is that an actual quote from the show?
@@TheStonedHermit not exactly but it is the first joke
Pretty much
What is that in reference to?
Charlie has made the words “Insufferable” and “Deplorable” really funny at this point XD
5:00, well, now I got why my crash in the high school laughed off my confession and kept telling me to stop joking...
Damn, you know it's bad when Charlie instead of laughing at the terribleness is genuinely angry.
@Logan Stairs bro is so desperate he has 179 comments saying he’s better at making content 💀

@Logan Stairs Me to bro, those flightless arctic dwelling birds have no chance against a homosapien such as myself. Critikal would fuckin annihilate those penguins in a content war.
Velma was the best animated show on HBO Max, but it was the ONLY animated show on HBO Max. They f*cking mocking us
Nooo Velma sucks and hbo max sucks
I don't know why people are saying Shaggy is absent. Norville is Shaggys first name. Shaggy IS in this show. I just hope poor Scoob never makes an appearance.
From "I don't like cats" to a whole ass cat tree in his recording room. What a time to be alive
The waffle house has found its new host
Wait he doesn’t like cats?
Io deserves only the finest tree upon which to sharpen her murder mittens.
@@Turnip397 no he has a cat now
Reminds me of that dad thing, give them a few weeks with a pet and they're more closer to it than you are
This show makes Big Mouth look like a cinematic masterpiece
That doesnt work very well bc Big Mouth is actually a decent enough show.
You need to pick a better but still pretty shitty show for that joke to work.
@@glumsulk paradise PD
@@HazelNuggetless thass more like it 👌
Big Mouth is amazing!
@@glumsulk big mouth -was- good. Now its awful, just like the new season of Paradise PD- unwatchable TRASH.
That shit about the premiere hits too close to home, I won an award at graduation for being the best 12th grade music student only to find out I was the only 12th grader in the Jazz band
