Scrappy-Doo (Lennie Weinrib)

Scrappy-Doo is a fictional Great Dane puppy created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1979, with the catchphrases, "Scrappy Dappy Doo", "Lemme at 'em!" and "Puppy Power!". He is the nephew of Hanna-Barbera cartoon star Scooby-Doo. Scrappy has appeared in a number of the various incarnations of the Scooby-Doo franchise. Lennie Weinrib provided his voice for one season in 1979, and from 1980 on it was performed by Don Messick (who also voiced Scooby). In the first live-action theatrical movie, video games, and commercials, he was voiced by Scott Innes. The character was able to save the show's ratings which by 1979 had begun to sink to the point of cancellation threats from ABC.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) His catchphrases get old fast and very quickly.
 * 2) He acts way too loud, that he hurts.
 * 3) The creators of the Scooby-Doo franchise made him the main villain of the first live-action movie just to mock his low popularity.
 * 4) The way he tries to challenge monsters much stronger than him to a fight is overwhelmingly annoying and predictable.
 * 5) He even has an unlikable character TV trope named after him.
 * 6) Despite boosting ratings, he also caused a small downfall in the Scooby-Doo franchise.
 * 7) His voice acting is considerably ear-piercing and irritating.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite being a half-pint jerk, he is one of Hanna-Barbera's most popular cartoon characters.
 * 2) As the series progressed, he started to become a lot better portrayed, and did many helpful things.
 * 3) He is very friendly to a lot of those he meets.
 * 4) He saved the Scooby-Doo franchise's ratings from sinking completely.
 * 5) He is at least braver than most of the gang. He is cocky, but brave.
 * 6) He has managed to stop plenty of monsters they had come across.

Trivia

 * The reason Scrappy is such a hated character is because he is one of those characters that have their flaws presented and exaggerated so much that it makes him seem more hated, and it causes other people to join in the hate to "fit in." Warner Bros decided to join in on this hate, and for years they have constantly been bashing Scrappy by removing him from advertisements, trailers, and DVD and VHS covers. They even went as far a to make him the main antagonist of the first live action film. And they portrayed him as an unlikable character in the TV promos. Top 10 Worst Cartoon Characters
