Shaggy Rogers, beloved kinda-but-officially stoner and master detective has become a god.
But how did this happen you may ask? Well… the internet.
THE SUPER HIGHWAY OF MEMES.
In 2017, YouTuber Midya remixed a scene from the animated classic Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur with the song ‘Ultimate Battle’ from Dragon Ball Super and what transpired was nothing short of masterful… a work of art… a new religion.
From here the meme slowly snowballed, gaining traction and developing a cult following.
It spread through everything from Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and Facebook. It didn’t matter whether it was animated or live-action, the only thing that mattered was Shaggy.
You can only Marvel at Shaggy.
You may be wondering why this happened and we can only ask, “why not?”.

Shaggy Rogers is the epitome of us all, he’s seen as lazy, incapable of easy tasks and loves dogs.
But what if he was capable of more? What if his power level was unseen, his full potential untapped? What people only saw what they wanted him to see and deep down was a god?
His power level is over *redacted*.
The growth of Shaggy mirrors the growth of disallusion young people feel in the modern world and there’s only one person who can pull us out of this pit of self loathing and despair.
And that’s the love of Shaggy.
Zoinks indeed.
