I've joked quite a few times on this site about having a list of characters I stan for. Upon recently discovering another character who I believe deserves to be stanned in the Goober and the Ghost Chasers article, I decided to finally create an official stan list. The following list represents underappreciated characters within the Scooby-Doo franchise (and one from another Hanna-Barbera show) that I feel deserved to be stanned for. Note that this post is intended to be humorous and is not meant to be taken too seriously, although I do greatly appreciate all of the characters on this list lol. Considering Sassy Fred is the character I feel deserves to be stanned for the most, he gets the honor of representing this stan list on the graphic haha. I will keep this as a running list and make additions whenever there is a new character I feel deserves to be stanned haha. Sassy Fred While Fred is typically the courageous leader of Mystery Inc, he certainly has his moments where he can be a bit sassy, particularly in The New Scooby-Doo Movies. Perhaps some of the best examples come from "The Phantom of the Country Music Hall," such as when Shaggy gets scared by a statue, prompting Fred to yell "You oughta be ashamed of yourself!" Another excellent example from this episode is when Jerry Reed says "Boy am I glad to see you!" when he's rescued, and Fred merely replies "you're welcome!" A true sass master indeed. Arm-Crossing Gators From: Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo! These sassy gators are too cool to care whether you stan them or not, but should absolutely be stanned anyway for their delightful sass. Gentlemanly Batman From: The New Scooby-Doo Movies - "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair" and "The Caped Crusader Caper" While Batman is commonly portrayed as dark and gritty in most adaptions, few people appreciate how kind and gentlemanly Batman behaves in The New Scooby-Doo Movies. We love a polite gentleman here at ScoobySnax, and Gentlemanly Batman is perhaps the one of the most admirable gentleman you'll ever meet. Don Knotts From: The New Scooby-Doo Movies - "Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner?" and "The Spooky Fog," and Night of 100 Frights Because how could you Knott stan this man? I also stan for the person who wrote this comment, because honestly, same. Frugal Redbeard From: The New Scooby-Doo Movies - "The Ghostly Creep from the Deep" Perhaps we could all take a lesson from this wise man. Rather than frivolously wasting money on a brand new costume to scare teens, he merely painted he and his henchmen's costumes white, and voila, a brand new costume! This man's radical money-saving tactics would give even the most skilled money-saving gurus a run for their money. Literal Pirates From: The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo Puppy Hour - "Up a Crazy River" These pirates in the Yabba-Doo short "Up a Crazy River" are so obsessed with stealing that they will steal anything. At one point, they steal Deputy Dusty's pants, and when Scrappy makes an off-handed comment that Deputy Dusty is worth more than gold as a friend to them, the pirates take the remark literally and steal Dusty. This delightful quirk of stealing anything in sight should be more than enough reason to stan them. However, there's also the added amusement that one of the pirates casually strolls out of a store carrying a TV, with no weapon or anything. Clearly Tumbleweed has a serious crime problem if criminals are feeling that bold lol. Bernie Gumsher From: The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo - "It's a Wonderful Scoob" Bernie was briefly Scooby-Doo's replacement when he became too frightened to stay in the gang. Bernie is very chill and lazy. Although he didn't work out as Scooby's replacement, the world would surely be a better place if everybody was as chill as Bernie Gumsher. Billy Bob Joe Bob Harris From: A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - "Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare" Billy Bob is a farmer who lives near the Coolsville space station, owns many cows, and is annoyed that the space station spooks his many cows. His lovely name, as well as his simple backstory, should be reason enough to stan him. Fantzee Pants From: Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - "In Fear of the Phantom" Fantzee Pants is a recording artist and dancer who had one hit song, titled "Dance in My Pants." He was managed by Gus Boggs, but was ultimately cut from the label in favor of The Hex Girls. Despite that the Hex Girls are one of the most incredible bands of all time, cutting Fantzee Pants was a huge mistake, as he deserves to be stanned for the excellent quality of his song. Pirahna-Goat From: Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - "Dead Justice" 50% pirahna + 50% goat = 100% stan-worthy. The Clown Police From: Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! - "Into the Mouth of Madcap" The Clown Police are special police unit made up only of clowns. They commonly juggling bowling pins before arresting criminals, as seen in the picture above. I, for one, am proud that this special unit of police didn't leave behind their identities as clowns when they became policemen. A true inspiration to us all. The Vampire Werewolf Mummy Ghost from Outer Space From: Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! - "Some Fred Time" This villain is not only a very interesting species, but perhaps it is also a reminder to all of us that that you don't need to confine who you are into one box. The Vampire Werewolf Mummy Ghost from Outer Space certainly didn't. The Bleep Bleep Bird
From: Goober and the Ghost Chasers - "Inca Dinka Doo" The Bleep Bleep Bird was originally a creature Goober made up to ease his mind when he heard strange bleeping noises at night. Shrugging off the noises by joking it was "just a Bleep Bleep Bird," Goober finds out the next morning that a bird watcher actually is searching for a species of bird called "The Bleep Bleep Bird." Goober and the group later run across this bird in an ancient Incan civilization, and discover the creature's name is derived from the fact it can only communicate through saying "bleep bleep." The absurdly random lore of this bird should be more than enough evidence that it deserves to be stanned.

A very solid list here. The following are also on my stan list (and these are just some off the top of my head):

I forgot about Pirahna-Goat and the literal pirates, and I added them now. I can't believe I also forgot about Fantzee Pants! I added him as well, as well as made a new header image for my stan list, as an excellent stan list such as this one needs a much more glitzy and fabulous image representing it haha. Although I wouldn't say I stan Simon Simonson, I still am an advocate for "simontaneously" being adopted as an official word in the dictionary lol.

I agree that Fantzee Pants is a great header picture to show the glitz and glamor of such a stan list. 10/15/2023 05:01:13 pm
I don't quite like Lenny Lipner enough to add him to my stan list, but I do appreciate his character and found the joke funny.
