 This will be the last of our minor villain polls. During the pandemic, I did an article on unused villains from Scooby-Doo intros. I wanted to do a poll covering those as well. This one was a bit more difficult, since obviously none of them were ever given names. It's safe to say a couple of them were probably early designs for the series, like the wizard (Merlin) and the ghost shaman (Mamba Wamba) in The Scooby-Doo Show intro. However, I included them here since we're not clear on that for sure. I did my best at labeling them with the specific series when there were multiple types of that villain, and I also organized them all in chronological series order. If there's any option you're confused on, let me know in the comments! I'll be happy to clarify which option is for which villain. :) I had no idea what was going to win last week's poll. It's cool to see the Chemical Creep in first place! The ghost from Boo Brothers also had an awesome showing. I never would have expected it to get second place!
What is your favorite Scooby-Doo villain from a movie opening? Chemical Creep - 15 Ghost (Boo Brothers) - 11 Luna Ghost - 9 Moat Monster - 6 Phantom Naval Officers - 6 Sea Serpent Smugglers - 5 Mummies - 4 Manic Minotaur of Mainsly Manor - 4 Cockroach Monster - 1 Monster (Sword and the Scoob) - 1

Last week's poll made me think it'd be fun to do another similar one featuring the villains from the openings of Scooby films, where we don't get to see the full mystery. A lot of the designs are really cool imo! I never hear any of these talked about, so it will be very interesting to see which one ends up winning! Since the monsters aren't well-known, I've included a gallery below as a guide. The monsters are featured in the order that they are listed in the poll (chronological order). I've been super curious to see last week's poll results, given I pretty much never hear the minor villains of Zombie Island talked about. All of the options got a decent amount of votes, but the Moat Monster takes the win!
What is your favorite minor villain from the beginning of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island? Moat Monster - 19 Zombie River Boat Captain - 13 Hooded Skeletal Ghost - 10 Man-Bat Monster - 9 Crawdad Monster - 7  It's no secret Zombie Island is widely acclaimed as one of the best Scooby-Doo movies. Over the years on here, Zombie Island pretty much been a cheat code to win any poll its a part of. For this week's poll, I wanted to focus on some of the lesser discussed monsters from the beginning! Besides the Moat Monster, there's also several very cool villains in "The Ghost Is Here" montage from the beginning of the film. You can check out the slideshow below to see a gallery of each monster. Here are the final results for the poll series organizing guest stars by their careers! The Globetrotters win the series with 20 votes. The voice actors, and Batman + Robin come in second and third, respectively.
What is your favorite of these winning Scooby-Doo guest stars? Harlem Globetrotters - 20 Frank Welker, Grey Griffin, Kate Micucci, and Matthew Lillard - 13 Batman and Robin - 12 Simple Plan - 8 Jonathan Winters - 5 Weird Al Yankovic - 2 Bobby Flay, Giada DeLaurentiis and Marcus Samuelsson - 0  We've narrowed it down from 89 guest stars to our final seven! Each option in this poll won one of the rounds from the past six weeks (Simple Plan and Weird Al tied for the Singers round). Batman and Robin won our poll last week, but several other options put up a fair fight! Here are the final results for last week's poll:
Who is your favorite fictional character to be a Scooby-Doo guest star? Batman and Robin - 22 The Addams Family - 7 Josie and the Pussycats - 7 Jeannie & Crew - 7 Courage the Cowardly Dog, Eustace and Muriel - 7 Speed Buggy - 6 Sherlock Holmes - 3 Batman (Guess Who) - 3 Funky Phantom Crew - 2 The Flash - 1 Krypto and Crew - 1 Wonder Woman - 0 Urkel - 0  This round will determine who gets the lat spot in the final round next week! Last week's results were pretty straightforward. The Gourmet Ghost celebrity chefs were in the lead from the beginning, and got double the amount of votes of any other option. Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson trailed behind in second place. Lucy Liu and Penn & Teller also had fair turnouts in third and fourth place.
Which is your favorite of these guest stars? Bobby Flay, Giada deLaurentiis and Marcus Samuelsson - 18 Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson - 9 Lucy Liu - 8 Penn and Teller - 7 Alton Brown - 4 Abraham Lincoln - 3 Darci Lynne Farmer - 3 Joey Chestnut - 3 Liza Koshy - 3 Gigi Hadid - 1  There's a decent-sized group of celebs from Guess Who (+ Gourmet Ghost) that didn't fit into any category. I felt they should get their fair shot at the final round too, so I grouped them all together. Next week, we'll be moving onto fictional guest stars, which will be the last group before our final round for this poll series.
Looking at last week's results, we have a surprise winner! The current voice actors advance to the final round. Don Knotts comes in second place, but Knott without a fight lol. Don was the only other option that came close to winning this round. Who is your favorite actor to guest star on Scooby-Doo? Frank Welker, Kate Micucci, Grey Griffin and Matthew Lillard - 16 Don Knotts - 10 Jonathan Winters - 4 Dick Van Dyke - 4 Whoopi Goldberg - 4 Mark Hamill - 4 Elvira - 2 Sandy Duncan - 2 Kristen Schaal - 2 Phyllis Diller - 1 Tim Conway - 1 Don Adams - 1 Wanda Sykes - 1 Kenan Thompson - 1 Sean Astin - 1 Jessica Biel - 1 Carol Burnett - 1 0 votes: George Takei, Steve Buscemi, Malcolm McDowell, Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, Tim Gunn, Jason Sudeikis, Billy Dee Williams, and Alex Trebek  The votes for last week's poll were pretty spread out! Jonathan Winters, Phyllis Diller and Tim Conway were all very close to winning. Jonathan Winters advances to the next round by just a single vote! Here are the results for last week's poll:
Who is your favorite comedian to guest star in Scooby-Doo? Jonathan Winters - 10 Phyllis Diller - 9 Tim Conway - 9 Laurel and Hardy - 7 The Three Stooges - 5 Kenan Thompson - 4 Jim Gaffigan - 3 Whoopi Goldberg - 3 Sonny and Cher - 2 Wanda Sykes - 2 Ricky Gervais - 2 Jeff Foxworthy - 2 Jeff Dunham - 0  So that there's a clear definition of what qualifies, "comedy actors" like Don Knotts are included in the actors round. Also worth noting is that while I am keeping guest star duos in the same episode together, "Too Many Dummies!" is a weird instance where Jeff Dunham is most known for being a comedian, but he's paired with Darci Lynn Farmer, a ventriloquist. I separated Jeff because it felt like he should be included in this round. Darci will appear in a "miscellaneous" round of guest stars that didn't fit into any category that we do before the final round.
The Globetrotters win last week's poll in a landslide! They advance to the final round next month. Here are the full results for last week's poll: Who is your favorite athlete to guest star in Scooby-Doo? Harlem Globetrotters - 40 WWE - 8 Tara Lipinski - 3 Ryan Sheckler - 2 Chloe Kim - 2 Teddy Bradshaw - 2 Laila Ali - 1 Chris Klug - 0 Mike Piazza - 0 Brett Hull - 0 Chris Paul - 0  The first round of the guest stars poll series is in the books! We have an unexpected tie for last week's poll results between Simple Plan and Weird Al Yankovic. That means both will move ahead to the Winner's Circle round on July 19. Here are the final results:
Who is your favorite singer to guest star in Scooby-Doo? Simple Plan - 13 Weird Al Yankovic - 13 Sonny and Cher - 7 KISS - 7 Sia - 4 Smash Mouth - 4 Davy Jones - 2 Jerry Reed - 2 Cass Elliot - 2 Lindsay Pagano - 2 J.C. Chasez - 2 Halsey - 2 Kacey Musgraves - 2 Reverend Run - 1 Axl Rose - 1 Macklemore - 0  This week, we're starting a new poll series centered around the guest stars! The series is inspired by a great suggestion from Shadowscooby to do a poll series voting for favorite guest stars based on their careers. We're starting off this week with musical artists! For this poll series, I'm grouping together any guest stars who were in the same episode as one another.
Looking ahead to future weeks, there are a number of guest stars that fall into multiple categories (i.e. Jonathan Winters is an actor and comedian, Sonny and Cher are musicians and comedians, etc.). Since it's hard to determine what the most prominent aspect of their careers are, this poll series is going to be a bit of a switch-up. Guest stars will appear in more than one poll if they fit multiple categories. This means some options will have an advantage at getting more than one shot at the final round. Here are the final results from last week's poll: What is your favorite celebrity duo or trio to guest star in Scooby? Batman and Robin - 35 Sonny and Cher - 14 Laurel and Hardy - 9 Penn and Teller - 4 Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson - 2 Three Stooges - 2 Jeff Dunham and Darci Lynn Farmer - 0 |
