Talk:Shaggy Rogers

message: He's a beatnik who dresses like a hippie?  Are you sure? Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 22:14, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
:I was just leaving in the "beatnik/hippie" remark when I originally updated this entry. While I suppose technically Shaggy's got mannerisms of both, he doesn't really dress like either one (goatee aside). Anthony Dean 05:29, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
::Shaggy was developed as a somewhat typical 1969 teenager, with many hippie influences. Beatniks were the hipsters of the 50s, so that term would not be apt. But in the end, they are all hipsters.196.215.18.76 (talk) 11:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Beatnik/hippie

message: I'm sure it probably doesn't need to be asked, being that it's been parodied in just about every way imaginable in movies and references...
Shaggy, being a hippy/hipster, exhibits many of the signs of Marihuana use, though this aspect is never referred to or shown. Other possibilities are that he partakes of psychotropic substances, as well.
My rationale is such:
He's always ravenously hungry. Weed stoners typically go for carbohydrate based foods: Sandwiches, pizza, chips, Scooby snacks, and so on (Agreed, one doesn't necessarily have to be a stoner to be hungry like this, myself as a prime example).
He's usually the first one to see the monster/ghost.
He responds to his dog as if it were actually speaking to him (this could be seen as sort of an internal monologue on the part of Scooby, not actually spoken to the other characters). He responds to Scooby more than the other characters.  The fact that they sometimes also have discussions with the dog indicates that they're not completely innocent, either. This is really quite consistent with the times, where two just-turned-men are driving around the country in a VW microbus with two unmarried girls, with no home or sources of income is perfectly ok. It also leads to the obvious question of "Where do they get the money to buy their stuff? How do they eat? How do they pay for gas?"

replies: text: Probable answers include: 1. Daphne's family, as shown in various spinoffs, is quite wealthy, so she might pick up the tab for things like air fare, etc., 2. The reward money from capturing various crooks-disguised-as-phony-ghosts, etc., or 3. Half the time, their trips involve staying with relatives or friends, which would cut back on the costs. Anthony Dean 18:34, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
In refferance to the above.  No air fares, they drive everywhere, hence the van,  and the tiny van is probably pretty fuel efficent, shaggy's uncle is also pretty rich too.
As to drug use:  I mean Scoobie doobie doo, it's right there in the name.  The way scooby and shaggy do anything for a scoobie snack, it's pretty clear those things are hash cakes.  and why are those 2 in the back, when the other 3 are up front, smoking a joint no doubt...  Oh, btw scooby snack aren't mentioned in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.249.207 (talk) 00:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Why dudes and dudettes lol, I was watching boomerang and I saw a follow-up story on Shaggy which shows he's skinny even though he eats a lot because he's vegetarian, but he ate a lot of scooby snacks which made him fat so he decied to distract himself out of eating by collecting Belt buckels (sorry if i spelled it wrong I'm not really sure if you spell it like that). And now has like more than 300 Belt buckels, and he always wears a different one in each episode.(talk) 19:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC
:Shaggy is not vegetarian. He is seen eating meat in many different canonical iterations of the series, including the newer feature-length movies. For example, in Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost he is seen eating pot roast, ham and other meats. I don't know what "Boomerang" is, but Shaggy is a carnivore through-and-through.
