- Shag. He is my lord and savior.
- I like these moves, but I feel like he'd be
a little slow if you know what I mean.
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- Oh, no. There's a new meme? - "The Shaggy meme has gotten
out of hand." ♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- You know what's funny? I haven't seen these.
- Oh my god. I've seen these [bleep] Shaggy memes!
(giggles) - Oh, we're doing the Shaggy meme?
This is my favorite meme of 2019.
- (Shaggy) One, you walk away. Two, I walk on your--
- (man yells) - Yeah. Okay, that was weird.
I'm in that weird part of YouTube again.
Or Twitter, in this case. - Who did the voice-over for Shaggy?!
That was absolutely terrifying! And I'm gonna be real with you,
I have no idea what the Shaggy memes are,
but I don't know if I want to.
♪ (epic adventure music) ♪ - Are people just editing Shaggy
into all these different movies and video games?
That's [bleep] hilarious. - Okay, "Dragon Ball Z."
- That looks legit. I'm not even-- it doesn't even
look like a meme. - Dang.
Look at those combos, man. - Honestly, Shaggy should be
a Smash character. - I like these moves,
but I feel like he'd be a little slow,
if you know what I mean.
But who knows? Sometimes cannabis can help others.
- Hell yeah, Shaggy! (claps) Ay!
- So, I'm starting to pick up that the Shaggy meme
has to do with Shaggy's incredible invincibility.
And regardless of what you throw at him,
Shaggy will destroy you, because he is a destroyer of worlds.
- This is so funny. I love whenever something starts off
as a really small meme and then gets completely
blown out of proportion.
- (voice-over) And now, a demonstration of what Shaggy
is capable of... - (snickers)
- (voice-over) ...at only 26.3% of his power.
- (snickers) What? - (Shaggy) ...stay this way
forever! - (laughs) Oh my god.
(kaboom!) - Oh, [bleep]. (laughs)
- Oh, he destroyed the Death Star. Damn.
- I like how different these all are from each other.
It's not like the same, repetitive Twitter layout meme.
- (Shazam) Billy Batson. - Oh, "Shazam"?
- (Shazam) Say my name, so my powers will become yours.
- Turns into shaggy. I knew it!
- (claps) I would watch this movie.
This needs to happen.
- (laughs) Okay, I love this one.
- Yo, the editing on these is really [bleep] good.
- (Shaggy) I'm so scared. - Oh my god.
- (Shaggy) ...wish I had a ham sandwich
to calm my nerves. - (chuckles)
- That's a big mood right there.
- (laughs) - That's good [bleep], man.
- The cute part about it too is Shaggy in the Scooby-Doo movies
and shows was always the timid one.
So, this gives him a whole new side of him,
where it's like, "Nah, he's the badass one."
- Trying to make Shaggy into a superhero. I can't.
I can't get behind it. I need him to be the chill guy,
who's like, "Zoinks!" - "Shaggy would often come
to the set and scream at me for not acting like a real god.
I really learned a lot from him." Oh my god! Is that Chris Hemsworth?
- These are the best ones. (laughs) Any of the screenshots,
just because they're not talking, so you feel like it's real.
- Shaggy should be yelling at you, for Shaggy is a god himself.
- "There's currently a petition going around to make Shaggy
from Scooby-Doo into a DLC character for Mortal Kombat 11."
(gasps) Yes. Let's-- I wanna sign this petition.
- I need to see this crossover. That'd be amazing.
- Oh my god! IGN got on this. Video game culture and meme culture
goes so hand-in-hand that they kind of probably
would end up making the DLC for this.
- "Like, not bad, Sasuke, man. You made me use 10% of my power."
Oh my god. - You don't wanna see
what 100% looks like. - That's the meme I've seen
all over the place. That's combining two memes.
I like transition memes. - "I wasn't even supposed
to be in the movie. When filming started,
the director realized that they had forgotten to cast"--
I've seen this one. "...anyone to play Velma."
- "Shaggy, feeling so incredibly passionate about the project,
used 4.35% of his immense power to literally will me into existence.
I owe Lord Shaggy my very existence." - I can't believe I haven't seen these.
I'm on Twitter a lot. I'm surprised I haven't seen it.
- You're supposed to think you're a creator right?
Tch. You bow down before Lord Shaggy if he brings you to light.
- "One time, Shaggy snapped his fingers and Michelle
just disappeared. She came back 30 seconds later,
but she looked really scared and kept saying something
about 'the dark place.'" Oh, sssssssstop!
- "I don't wanna talk about the dark place."
- "I don't wanna talk about the dark place ever again."
Scooby-Doo, Buffy the Vampire Slayer cross-over.
That would be awesome! - It started out off as
kind of the percentage of power. And then it went on
to the Thanos stuff and kind of mixing him
in these universes that they're just giving him more power.
- "Interviewer: Can you give us an example of how powerful 1%
of your power is?" - "Remember planet Apollo?"
"No." "Exactly." (laughs)
Did he get rid of Pluto, too?
- He already killed the Death Star earlier.
He's just going through the solar systems.
- 1% of power can wipe out the existence of a whole planet.
Everybody needs to bow down to Shaggy right now.
Shag! He is my lord and savior!
- "Matthew Willard." "Behold the tiny Oracle.
She shall deliver upon thee, the great and might Zoink."
(laughs) Zoinks!
- "For she is the chosen beast of power and, like, dude,
she shall inherit the universe." Love that.
Those are totally natural arms for sure.
- Is this the actor who plays Shaggy in the movie?
- It's always really nice to see people who get memed
play along with the meme. They're such good sports
because of that. - So, that baby possesses
all the mighty powers of Shaggy. Maybe even more.
- (FBE) So, those were all memes surrounding the character Shaggy
from the classic cartoon, Scooby-Doo. - Uh-huh.
- (FBE) So, have you seen these before?
- Yeah, I have. Just the buff Shaggy ones, though.
- (FBE) So, there have been many versions showing Shaggy
being an all-powerful being. And the idea seems to have started
from a video that was posted in 2017, which I have to show you now.
- Oh, I'm excited. It's gonna be awful,
and it's gonna be incredible.
- (Shaggy) This can go two ways, punk. One, you walk away.
Two, I walk on your face. - Ohh, that trash talk.
- (bikers laugh) - Oh, he ain't takin' none of it.
Oh, Scooby. - (Shaggy) Your choice.
♪ (upbeat J-rock music) ♪ - What the heck? (laughs)
- I've never seen Shaggy do anything like that.
- I didn't watch this episode, but this feels so unlike him. (laughs)
- I love the slowed frames, so it's just like a shitty Matrix.
- About to [bleep] [bleep] up! There he goes!
- One episode out of hundreds, he finally has the ability
to kick ass? - Looks like he's been practicing
some parkour for sure.
- I love these fan-made edits.
- It's just fitting that you have the anime background music.
- The music fits this perfectly.
- I kinda wonder where he learned those moves,
'cause damn, he's a badass. - Even taking away the special effects,
he's taking on all these dudes.
So, it makes sense that it originated here.
- I feel like there's gotta be a little bit more context
to this episode, because there's no way
he's just going off for no reason.
- It's not believable for me. If I was a kid,
and I was watching this, maybe I'd get excited,
'cause I'd finally see Shaggy step up to the plate.
But it couldn't be consistent. He just looks too goofy.
- All right. That was impressive. I've never seen that before.
- I'm not used to seeing Shaggy in that kind of environment
where he's actually being a frickin' badass.
- I can see why there's memes about it now.
- (FBE) So, now that you have seen all these memes,
overall, how well do you think these memes compare to ones
that you've seen so far this year? - They're okay.
I would say it's a seven out of ten in memes.
- I've seen better memes. Maybe it's just not my thing.
But I'll give 'em a credit. - You know how January memes are.
They're not the best. So, I think this one
would probably be so-so for me.
- The "Bird Box" was just the blindfold.
Not super creative. THIS... this is next-level meme.
- (as Shaggy) It's really good, man!
Yeah, dude, this one is just fun. It's enjoyable.
It's not a corny TikTok trend or anything.
- So far, I think this is the one that's made me laugh the most,
mostly because some memes, I think, I get tired
of internet culture, and it just starts to get dumb.
- (FBE) So, it seems that the meme originally started with the video
we showed you last, where someone took that original clip,
where under the influence of hypnosis, Shaggy beats up an entire biker gang
with the "Ultra Instinct" music from "Dragon Ball Super" playing
in the background. - Okay, so there was definitely
some stoned college kid watching that at 3 a.m.
with random editing software. And he was like, "Hold on.
I've got an idea." - (FBE) So, after this was posted,
there were some jokes about Shaggy being on Dragon Ball Z
and relating him to anime. But from our research,
the meme didn't really blow up until a few Reddit and 4chan posts
with Shaggy became popular earlier this year.
- Dude, it's crazy how a meme can blow up like that.
- (FBE) So, given that the lore of this meme has taken kinda
so many directions, do you like where it ended up, with them
claiming that Shaggy is a god? - I think it's funny.
I don't think there should be any rules.
If we wanna take our fun, childhood characters to a new level,
why not? Especially for the younger generation.
I, personally, wouldn't invest any time, nor would I
search for these memes. - 100%, if it wasn't for him
and Scooby, you know, a lot of the monsters
wouldn't have been caught. So, I just think he's finally
getting the praise that he deserved. - The character's always high,
you know? And we know that. To make a slow character like Shaggy
an all-powerful being is just so funny.
- I like that it ended there, because, I mean, out of all
the people in that kind of Scooby-Doo group,
you wouldn't expect Shaggy to be the one.
- It's a very simple premise of just Shaggy: God.
And you can go so many different directions with it,
and it could definitely become a real religion.
- (FBE) So, Scooby-Doo originally aired in 1969
as an animated television series. And following the success
of the original show, a number of follow-ups and spin-offs
based on the original characters were produced.
And there is even a new Scooby-Doo series scheduled
to release later this year. - Wait, really?
I didn't hear about that. - Scooby-Doo is incredible.
Mystery, Inc. is objectively a phenomenal TV show.
- (FBE) So, for you personally, why do you think that a cartoon
like this from so long ago can stand the test of time
and become a part of today's meme culture?
- Well, it's-- I guess it just has to do with what people
can do to make edits of it. For example, the Big Chungus meme,
they took that and then just blew it out of proportion.
- Something about it is nostalgic. I wanna say it reminds a lot of us
of our childhood. - It's just so timeless.
People recognize Scooby-Doo. They recognize the whole team.
They're just so iconic. And people wanna keep seeing
these icons and legends in just different eras.
- Since they've made so many remakes, I would say, and...
it's not just from one generation. It's been relevant through generations,
and it's such a classic cartoon and story that I think anyone
can kind of relate to it. - (FBE) So finally, going back
to Shaggy and how he is the most powerful being out there,
is there any character that you think could defeat Shaggy?
- Oh. Honestly, maybe his dog. No, hold on. I take that back.
What was Scooby-Doo's, like-- Scrappy-Doo.
Scrappy-Doo could beat Shaggy. - I'd like to see Scooby
turn on him... one day. (chuckles)
- I bet Sailor Moon could whoop his ass.
She's the justice warrior of the solar system.
- I don't know if he could defeat Shaggy,
but he definitely could go toe-to-toe with him.
Cory from "Cory in the House." When we got to the White House
to "Cory in the House" he showed us how incredibly powerful he is.
- Gordon Ramsey. He's gonna cook him a delicious meal.
Shaggy's not gonna wanna fight. And then when he's lulled to sleep
by the dinner, Gordon Ramsey's gonna come...
(imitates slicing sound) You just got Ramsey'd.
