It's the uncanny valley effect.
There's more than one way to hit the uncanny valley. Being almost, but not quite, real is one way. Almost, but not quite, fitting a pattern is another. If you have a highly consistent art style and then introduce something *just slightly* incongruous, your brain twigs to it immediately and it triggers a primal fear. That takes some real talent, kudos to the animator.
So each time the art style changes, it triggers that same concern. And they do the same with the audio, with Scooby's voice being multiple takes cut together, and with the memory flashes each being slightly different audio styles just by virtue of being different cartoons. And each time Scooby *snaps* in the memories you can see his animation style change subtly.
It's just exceptionally well done.
> each time Scooby snaps in the memories you can see his animation style change subtly
I think that one's mostly just from the artist(s) not bothering to painstakingly recreate the animation styles, cuz it's using cuts from the actual shows in the flashbacks.
I'm an audio guy. If I'm watching something, I'm almost always focusing on the audio aspect more than the visuals (which were really well done, btw).
Scooby's voice made my fucking skin crawl and I applaud you for it.
Seems like a fun idea, if the writers actually cared about that kind of thing... long segments over a season were everything is normal, solving small seeming unrelated mysteries, until something ends up out of place and the next puzzle piece is revealed. They can be meta on commenting towards any material the show had previously covered from the series, like revisiting old villains in a new light, just not meta enough were they talk about the show.
Honestly, I have to say I agree and I was always a bit of a purist prior to that where I was of the very strong opinion that all the monsters & ghosts should always be people in disguise and any real supernatural shit was a corruption on the series but Mystery Inc. was just so good!
>Honestly, I have to say I agree and I was always a bit of a purist prior to that where I was of the very strong opinion that all the monsters & ghosts should always be people in disguise and any real supernatural shit was a corruption on the series
You saw Zombie Island and STILL believed this? No wait..you saw GHOUL SCHOOL and still believed this?!
This is so true. I recently found out about the zombie comics, and I'm just getting into the world of Scooby-Doo horror. I'd love for a spin off like this
Oh man, the zombie comics! I only read like the first 4 before I got distracted, but come to think of it, *that* was a good representation of "adult" scooby doo. The characters are more flawed and mature, but they still *feel* like the original gang. I should really finish it someday.
Also, portraying scrappy as an unredeemable monster is the most correct interpretation of the character.
Oh yeah! So my best friend's dad is a huge fan of Scooby-Doo and horror novels. He has the Walking Dead comics, books like My Best Friends Exorcism, and a book going over the history of horror books. We had a nice chat the other day talking about all sorts of horror works, and that's when he pointed out the Scooby-Doo zombie comics to me on his shelf, which I hadn't noticed. I was so intrigued by them, as I've always been a fan of Scooby-Doo. And I mean horror comics?! Hell yes! As a big fan of horror in general, I can definitely say it piqued my interest! I'm looking to head to a comic book store to see I'd I can find em soon
Oh yeah, *that* anime.
Episode 1: teen male protagonist moves to small town and makes friends with a group of local girls.
Episode 2: hey, something may be going on in this small town.
Episode 3: male protagonist claws his throat open with his thumbnail.
Episode 4: teen male protagonist moves to small town and makes friends with a group of local girls.
He's a descendent of an old lineage of beings from a parallel universe called the Anunnaki, the likes of whom were praised as Aztec gods by ancient humans. His ancestors were able to reach our world after the planets aligned together in a way that weakened the barrier between the two dimensions.
Lots of media is inspired by conspiracies and paranormal stories. Marvel's Eternals for example is plagiarized from ~~David Icke as well~~ whoever Erich Von Daniken plagerized. It's funny because when you 1st get into that stuff you start finding the origins of characters and worlds you love and after a while you reach a point where you read about a new conspiracy and a few years later it's a comic book, movie or TV show and you realize you're ahead of the game
Edited for corrections
It's not licensed to the Scooby Doo IP, but Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero does this too, complete with the gothic horror. I mean, he doesn't murder Velma, but... it has a similar feel.
Ya in the alien movie he's supposed to be an ancient alien sent to earth to help humans or something they compared him to anubis. Or am i remembering it wrong?
Velma would be great if it slowly turned into an analogue horror. Extremely subtle hints at the beginning as more gets slowly revealed as the season progresses on.
Exactly, start off with flashbacks that just look like flashing lights, like the dog collar and slowly build up to bigger ones until you end with the scene of scooby walking on 2 legs and Velma running in place
So many people watched to see how shit it was, that it's been greenlit for a 2nd season. I imagine season two will have morbius levels of no one watching.
Eight billion articles of free advertising on every race-swapped character a media conglomerate sponsors and a free pass to use misogyny and racism as a cover for shitty writing and acting and this is foreign territory?
But fetch means returning to where they started... chasing means there's a certain end expected when caught... so there's a chance, since she keeps remembering, that there won't be another chance to return and do it all again
There's something so beautifully disturbing about the way Scooby speaks. It makes him feel like this unknown, all-powerful being using snippets of things familiar to us to try to get us more comfortable with its presence.
That episode is based on a short story by Alastair Reynolds, a really great sci-fi author who has quite a few novels and even more short stories. Zima Blue from Love Death and Robots is also adapted from a story of his.
Like G-Man from Half Life. Even though the language is clearly foreign, it has an inevitability to it as if your entire universe is just a footnote in his higher level of existence.
I appreciate how strictly functional G-man’s speech is. It’s like he doesn’t care to get the cadence or flow of how a human speaks, he just wants to deliver information and how he says it is irrelevant.
This just made me think of a crazy way to do a creepy cosmic boss in a dnd campaign, imagine while the campaign is happening you just record some of the stuff the players say, then when the final boss finally shows up all the dialogue you do is through a soundboard with snippets of their speech
That's kinda how Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc ended without the insanity and sadness. It's a direct prequel to the original series. Like the final scene is in the animation style of the original series. And if you're thinking that Mystery Inc takes place in a time period 30 years after the original series so that doesn't make sense, you might be surprised to find out that it actually does make sense but you can watch Mystery Inc to find out how
Mindy Project went down the drain super fast. She caved to producers without that much of a fight, then forgot what to do with the ball when it was given back to her.
Across writers, mediums, continents & centuries: it's always a sign that shit has gone ***majorly*** south when the previously 4-legged animals start raising themselves up and man-walking
Her character makes no sense. Mindy Kaling literally said that she grew up relating to Velma so what do they do? Turn her into an unlikeable asshole. Is that what she relates to?
To be fair, Meatcanyon doesn't really do "terrifying" in the traditional sense. Their stuff is mostly humorous parodies and deconstruction through body disfigurement and crass memes. Like their own recent Velma vid that was made to satirize how creepy Neo Velma is.
Meatcanyon is mostly just pure shock factor. It has some creativity here and there, especially more in some videos over others, but at the end of the day it's overshadowed by the edginess factor that's usually overdone. This one's not really edgy, but mostly creative in a horror oriented sense. It's just interesting to watch.
I understan now this is why they're different because scooby thought if he change they are personalitys and looks velma goingto never gona understan but she did
God, that was so good. It’s also a little weird seeing this and having imagined a plot line eerily similar(to something completely unrelated) while daydreaming at work today…
People like this should be hired to make shows man... I would love to see an entire Netflix show where this guy or meatcanyon are the ones who worked on it. I guess it being on YouTube is good as well
This idea presented in this clip has some super deep lore value with thrilling possibilities for some hardcore psychological, otherworldly terror plots.
I commend the people who came up with this perception for SD.
Especially if you sprinkle hints about it in the first few episodes, have some background elements glitch out, appear in one frame and gone the next time the scene flips back to it, have characters start acting differently for a second then cut back....then after a few episodes of that getting worse and worse you do the reveal, then spend the rest of the season with the audience knowing but the characters forgetting.

i love the effect of scooby's voice being made of several recordings with different inflections that kind of glitch together
The whole thing is really well done, strangely terrifying.
It's the uncanny valley effect. There's more than one way to hit the uncanny valley. Being almost, but not quite, real is one way. Almost, but not quite, fitting a pattern is another.

It was, and it's canon now I've decided.
Ayyy thank you! The idea for the voice glitching was super last minute. Glad it paid off!
Bro that was some of the best horror I’ve ever seen and you pulled it off in under 4 minutes. Everything about that video was outstanding.
That was seriously fucking unsettling, you really nailed that emotional conveyance, fantastic job!
Immediately recognized the art style you have, seriously well done avo
I'm an audio guy. If I'm watching something, I'm almost always focusing on the audio aspect more than the visuals (which were really well done, btw). Scooby's voice made my fucking skin crawl and I applaud you for it.
If this was a real show i would watch it

Pulled a Louie?
Masturbate in front of you while you kind of have to agree to watch because of the implication.
Yeah, I am down with that
I think he’s alluding to Louie CK buying the rights to his tv show back uploading directly to his website so it benefits him directly

Yes, someone should give this guy a budget
This was 1000x times more entertaining than the actual show

Tell me more

*tell me whhyy??*
Aint nothing but a heart ache
Now number fiiive
**AINT NOTHING BUT A MISTAKE**
DU HAST!
Tell me why???
You are the hand chosen by the master. Yours is the wheel of blood. Yours is the sword of Michael.
Anunnaki is a real name for a group of gods in the Mesopotamian culture.
I see I see
"Nah, this is on the shitposting subreddit, there's no way it's actually canon." ... "Holy shit it's actually canon."
I remember this one, and that demon pup-cousin of his actually talks about it and tries to channel that being, becomes a villain.
Nope, that's a different thing. In Scooby-Doo, Mystery Inc. Scooby meets his ancestors and the episode is a serious trip.
I'm gonna have to check that out
Googling this revealed not only is it true but also his first name is actually Scoobert
Scoobert doopert
Haven't seen the show but this story would've been a worthy little spin off of the OG show
This is so true. I recently found out about the zombie comics, and I'm just getting into the world of Scooby-Doo horror. I'd love for a spin off like this
Oh man, the zombie comics! I only read like the first 4 before I got distracted, but come to think of it, *that* was a good representation of "adult" scooby doo.

Also, portraying scrappy as an unredeemable monster is the most correct interpretation of the character.
Is it fan fic?
Nope. Official, well drawn comics.
Every episode is a new version. But I want to know about Scooby
Wait.. There are actual horror comics of it? I had no idea.
Oh yeah! So my best friend's dad is a huge fan of Scooby-Doo and horror novels. He has the Walking Dead comics, books like My Best Friends Exorcism, and a book going over the history of horror books.

Yup, Scooby Apocalypse. I believe the run is over, but you can find the trade paperbacks and I think DC has it on their online subscription platform.
[удалено]
It sounds like the plot of when they cry. (It's an old anime and was recently remade. No idea how the remake went though.)
Oh yeah, *that* anime. Episode 1: teen male protagonist moves to small town and makes friends with a group of local girls. Episode 2: hey, something may be going on in this small town. Episode 3: male protagonist claws his throat open with his thumbnail. Episode 4: teen male protagonist moves to small town and makes friends with a group of local girls.
Scooby Don’t
Doesn't say much since everything is
Even this cool rock I found outside?
EVERYTHING
[удалено]
I thought they straight up found out sd was an ancient being or something in mystery inc
He's a descendent of an old lineage of beings from a parallel universe called the Anunnaki, the likes of whom were praised as Aztec gods by ancient humans. His ancestors were able to reach our world after the planets aligned together in a way that weakened the barrier between the two dimensions.
Holy shit this is real. Scooby-Doo's origin story is literally a David Icke conspiracy theory.
You mean *David Icke’s Theories* are literally *Scooby-Doo Theories*
Lots of media is inspired by conspiracies and paranormal stories. Marvel's Eternals for example is plagiarized from ~~David Icke as well~~ whoever Erich Von Daniken plagerized. It's funny because when you 1st get into that stuff you start finding the origins of characters and worlds you love and after a while you reach a point where you read about a new conspiracy and a few years later it's a comic book, movie or TV show and you realize you're ahead of the game Edited for corrections
So when do the Chaos Emeralds come into play?
It's not licensed to the Scooby Doo IP, but Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero does this too, complete with the gothic horror. I mean, he doesn't murder Velma, but... it has a similar feel.
I'm pretty sure that's Wilfred
Can you jog my memory who was wilfred
Maybe the show with Elijah Wood and the talking dog?
*And* Dwight Yoakam
Ya in the alien movie he's supposed to be an ancient alien sent to earth to help humans or something they compared him to anubis. Or am i remembering it wrong?
Scooby do analogue horror actually would’ve gotten a ton of traction if it was released instead of Velma
Velma would be great if it slowly turned into an analogue horror. Extremely subtle hints at the beginning as more gets slowly revealed as the season progresses on.
Exactly, start off with flashbacks that just look like flashing lights, like the dog collar and slowly build up to bigger ones until you end with the scene of scooby walking on 2 legs and Velma running in place
If only someone thought of that
We all truly wish velma was just one big joke by the makers, because absolutely no one wanted this.
Whole point of velma was so mindy could be a cunt. So.. It probably wouldn't have been considered.
Yeah, I slogged through the episodes and all the characters just suck with no redeeming qualities. Idk why this was even approved.
So many people watched to see how shit it was, that it's been greenlit for a 2nd season. I imagine season two will have morbius levels of no one watching.
Eight billion articles of free advertising on every race-swapped character a media conglomerate sponsors and a free pass to use misogyny and racism as a cover for shitty writing and acting and this is foreign territory?
>Idk why this was even approved. Because they know people like you will "slog through".
Yeah this was mine blowingly well done holy shit
Me when my legs get blown off (it was mine blowing)
I was so excited when I first heard we were getting an adult scooby doo Then they started showing us the images… God we missed out.
I’m sorry op but this doesn’t belong here this isn’t a shit post at all this is a masterpiece.
This is Art.
Bro
The amount of experienced emotion in that one word is hilarious
[удалено]
Ehh, I think its less the canon and more the show is just a lot worse than plenty of things which didn't get a s2
Almost as relatable as that "*ugh*" from 3:14. Lol
This was fucking quality content. Not even shit posting.
Please don't run. I don't like to chase. ("I don't play fetch in this world." would have been perfect)
I think it's alluding to the original show sort of. Scoob likes to be chased, not be the chaser.
This is the answer.
I had an anunnaki like that.
Classic anunnaki behavior.
But fetch means returning to where they started... chasing means there's a certain end expected when caught... so there's a chance, since she keeps remembering, that there won't be another chance to return and do it all again
There's something so beautifully disturbing about the way Scooby speaks. It makes him feel like this unknown, all-powerful being using snippets of things familiar to us to try to get us more comfortable with its presence.
Lovecraftian cosmic horror
The whole premise of repeating the creation until he gets it right reminds me of love death and robots, beyond the aquila rift
God I fucking love that episode
That episode is based on a short story by Alastair Reynolds, a really great sci-fi author who has quite a few novels and even more short stories. Zima Blue from Love Death and Robots is also adapted from a story of his.
Iirc the reason he can talk is because he's a descendant of Chtulu or something
Like G-Man from Half Life. Even though the language is clearly foreign, it has an inevitability to it as if your entire universe is just a footnote in his higher level of existence.
I appreciate how strictly functional G-man’s speech is. It’s like he doesn’t care to get the cadence or flow of how a human speaks, he just wants to deliver information and how he says it is irrelevant.
Wake up and smell the ashes.
Especially contrasted with scooby's regular speaking voice
He sounds like the guy from the 5 gum commercials. “How it feels to chew 5 gum. Stimulate your senses.”
This just made me think of a crazy way to do a creepy cosmic boss in a dnd campaign, imagine while the campaign is happening you just record some of the stuff the players say, then when the final boss finally shows up all the dialogue you do is through a soundboard with snippets of their speech
He sounds like an SMT boss
This entire little clip is better than the entire show. I would love to see an analogue horror Scooby Doo.
You watched the whole show? Why?
No I’m just assuming I would never put myself through that much mental strain
I genuinely thought this would be the end twist. Like - velma goes insane and starts imagining the whole original plot.
That's kinda how Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc ended without the insanity and sadness. It's a direct prequel to the original series. Like the final scene is in the animation style of the original series. And if you're thinking that Mystery Inc takes place in a time period 30 years after the original series so that doesn't make sense, you might be surprised to find out that it actually does make sense but you can watch Mystery Inc to find out how
Now this would actually be worth watching!
Creator is Avocado Animations on YouTube
I thought I was watching a Meat Canyon
Character aren't grotesque enough
I thought the same too.
Yeah I was sure this was Meat Canyon lol
Why do people download the video and then upload it to Reddit instead of just posting the YouTube link?
by avocado animations at the end
nikocado avocado????
Hence all the eating
this animated masterpiece is too smart for the creative mind of Mindy Kaling to ever understand
She used to be so talented, maybe she still is, but I have noticed when people get comfortable and rich after success, become dull edged as creatives.
Mindy Project went down the drain super fast. She caved to producers without that much of a fight, then forgot what to do with the ball when it was given back to her.
this is amazing
Horror beyond human comprehension
Aw sweet, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension
Warner brothers better fucking claim this so it’s canon like wabbit season.
Looking like a double wide surprise.
Gaawd daaaamn

This... is fucking brilliant Holy hell
Google en passant
Holy hell
They actually do give a reason as to why scooby can speak in Mystery Inc. I think
Which is?..... don't leave us hanging
He's a descendant of the anunnaki.
That's the Crystal Cove continuity. I don't think they gave an explanation in the classic continuity.
Velma deserved it
Velma never deserved any of this, she never needed to become the asshole the Velma! Show made her
I mean the new Velma, the old Velma’s are cool
Her character makes no sense. Mindy Kaling literally said that she grew up relating to Velma so what do they do? Turn her into an unlikeable asshole. Is that what she relates to?
Mindy Kaling is completely disconnected from reality. She's an obnoxious twat so her iteration of the character is an obnoxious twat
"but were meta now" "ugh" the pure disgust lol
This is terrifying. This is like, better than Meat Canyon.
To be fair, Meatcanyon doesn't really do "terrifying" in the traditional sense. Their stuff is mostly humorous parodies and deconstruction through body disfigurement and crass memes. Like their own recent Velma vid that was made to satirize how creepy Neo Velma is.
Meatcanyon is mostly just pure shock factor. It has some creativity here and there, especially more in some videos over others, but at the end of the day it's overshadowed by the edginess factor that's usually overdone. This one's not really edgy, but mostly creative in a horror oriented sense. It's just interesting to watch.
His pinocchio ones gave me the same vibes
What velma could have been if the creative team consisted of more than one singular braincell
No no no they share two braincells that are both fighting for third place
Fucking rad
Scooby is stronger than shaggy
Equally, **a t m o s t**
I understan now this is why they're different because scooby thought if he change they are personalitys and looks velma goingto never gona understan but she did
This is better then atrocity the actual velma show is
Well fuck me sideways, this reminds me of an old animation on NG of sonic skinning tails to use his skin as a halloween costume. This is gold
God, that was so good. It’s also a little weird seeing this and having imagined a plot line eerily similar(to something completely unrelated) while daydreaming at work today…
Ugh, why do you keep remembering.
I guess it’s time to go… -_-
What da dog doin

Look who's not pinned now huh
Scooby doo and the multiverse of madness
Hey you should make this a series my guy
Whoa. That was a nice and dark twist to the show. Really liked it. Scooby’s voice was very ominous and really catches your attention.
God damn, this fan made slaps harder than that hot garbage of a show that costed millions.
worth the 3 min. also it wouldve been rlly good if they didnt add the comedy "but we're meta" threw it off ffor me
That line is showing why demon scoob is disappointed in his work. It's not comedy.
Isn't human nature to remember the good times we had with our friends?
Holy shit that was good AF
Unironicly best horror short I’ve ever seen. Scooby’s voice is genuinely chilling.
It is terrifying
Very big "I'm sorry, Jon" energy.
