in honor of 'Scooby Doo' turning 21 years old, here's a thread with all the adult jokes/deleted material that would've made the movie even better:

first: the movie had an intro montage, it included the original animated characters, it was deleted for timing reasons

in the original draft, Daphne implies Fred cheated on her with multiple fans and that lead to her break-up with him

in the same scene, Daphne tells Fred she fake-liked having sex with him

the scene was filmed but cut, and the end of it was them calling each other gay: twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Matthew Lillard also confirmed that Freddie Prinze Jr's 'Fred' was originally gay in the first test screening, but they had to change his character due to backlash

This scene that had Velma wearing a bikini was cut because in test screening parents were against too much skin exposure 💀💀

speaking of Velma, this was deleted as it showed her getting drunk in the Spooky Island hotel

but in a more explicit scene she takes off her sweater and performs a dance on top of the piano, the footage was used in TV spots:

in an appearance on TRL, Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed she had a kissing scene with Linda Cardellini but was cut when the movie's direction changed towards younger audiences

and needless to say, but Velma was always gay, it was in the original draft, she also was supposed to give hints that she had romantic feelings with Daphne, but it was cut

also, there's this unserious deleted scene where Shaggy and Scooby stare at Mary Jane's cleavage

the movie is also FULL of cannabis jokes

this scene also is a cannabis joke, the camera pans to smoke coming out of the mysery machine as Shaggy says 'talk about toasted'

'i'm a man of substance'

Fred on Daphne's body 😭 they needed to beat the gay allegations somehow

but it wasn't enough since he lusts over himself not even 10 seconds after

this is just an appreciation to sugar ray's cameo in the movie

the explanation

this should've stayed, she gagged them

the fact that the word bitch was allowed post test screenings

and i feel like that's all, don't forget to follow me for more content!
