Classic Scooby-Doo Bumpers on Cartoon Network

Back in the 90s and 2000s, Cartoon Network used to air shorts between 30 seconds and a minute in length in between commercials. Each short, called a bumper, would involve various Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters embarking on a short adventure, and featured the same voice actors as in the regular cartoons. Many of these bumpers include Scooby-Doo and the gang. In this article, I wanted to share some the best classic Scooby-Doo bumpers which aired on Cartoon Network between commercials.

​Locker Room Promo

This video features various Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters in a locker room talking about Scooby-Doo. Scrappy also makes an appearance in this bumper. This bumper was an advertisement for Scooby Month on Cartoon Network in Latin America. I thought this one was a little sad, with how mean they were to poor Scooby!

​Parking Lot

This bumper is strictly about Scooby-Doo, but it features him at the end so I thought I'd include it here. Fred Flintstone tries to find a parking spot, but ends up having to race Scooby-Doo and Speed Racer for it. I like how true they stayed to all the characters in these, and especially how many characters they incorporated into this bumper!

Sheep in the Big Cafeteria

This was one of my favorite promos, just because of the implications it has on real-life. After a huge fight between various Cartoon Network characters, Velma stands up and reinforces a message of being yourself. She reminds everyone that they're all weirdos, and that's why they belong on this network. You go girl, it's cool to be weird! haha

​Scrappy Loses It

In this bumper, Scrappy loses control after he becomes fed up with the other Cartoon Network characters not knowing who he is. This bumper is also from 2002, so it's possible that this is intended to somehow tie into the 2002 live action film, where Scrappy was also evil.

​Mystery Machine vs. Megas
Fred drag races the Mystery Machine against the Megas after he becomes jealous that Daphne is impressed with them. In the end, the Megas end up losing after their vehicle explodes.

Scooby-Doo Scream Parody

I really liked this one! This commercial is a promo for The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and parodies the classic horror film Scream. Daphne receives a call from a mysterious person (Casey Kasem doing a spooky version of his radio voice), which turns out to be Shaggy. I must say I totally agree with the uploader's comment in the description. "Gawd I feel old." lol I can't believe this is from 2001!

There also is a second short version of the Scream parody, which can be watched here.
Toon Dates - Ed and Daphne
The next several bumpers are from a series called "Toon Dates," where two unlikely cartoon characters are set up with one another. In this bumper, Ed (from Ed, Edd and Eddy) and Daphne go out on a date, and Daphne is horrified to see Ed's immaturity while they are out.

Toon Dates: Johnny's Love
Someone had sent me this previously, and admittedly I had thought it was an actual special. However, I was unaware of the Toon Dates series prior to this weekend, so I thought this was just a stand-alone special. In this bumper, Johnny Bravo and Velma go out on a date at the malt shop.

Toon Dates: Dexter's Lab Interstitial
In this bumper, Dexter thinks that Velma is romantically interested in him. This follows on from the previous one, where Johnny Bravo is still dating Velma, who ends up disappointing Dexter.

These next few bumpers are promos for Courage the Cowardly Dog and Scooby-Doo month on Cartoon Network Latin America.
These were pretty good, although I'm not familiar with Courage the Cowardly Dog. The villain taking his mask off and asking "is he always like this?" is pretty amusing.

For the final promo, here's a really sweet and wholesome one.
Okay, I may have lied just a little bit there haha. This is quite possibly my favorite Scooby-Doo bumper, just it was so unexpected! The best part of course being the end, "Remember, always express your true self and fashion first!" after the constant swearing, lol.

A big thanks to Thomas for sharing these bumpers with me! It was really fun getting to watch many of these for the first time, and I hope you all enjoyed seeing them as well!

Fantastic stuff. These bumpers were SO unique, memorable, funny, just perfect. Where is anything like this for kids today? Sadly nowhere.

Thanks for uploading all these ; )

I miss these quite a bit as well. I genuinely felt a bit sad when I finished watching these that CN doesn't do anything like this anymore. Most of the bumpers were super on-character and seemed like CN did clearly their research and cared about each of the shows. Compared to now, where it just seems like a joke to them.

Yeah 100% agree.

The 90's and early 2000's were truly the golden age of kids tv, and it's because of unique and really detailed, fun stuff like this.

Even up to 2010, they were still doing some really cool stuff for Scooby, in terms of promos for the next episode of SDMI and that amazing Crystal Cove Online game, then in 2011 it seems they just altogether stopped caring. They no longer aired any promos and stopped updating the game. What happened?!? :(

Damn, I never even got the promos for SDMI when it was airing here on Cartoon Network in the UK, I guess the UK division had already given up by them, Lol.

And yeah it's just sad in general, no more tv presenters on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel and CN abandoned their own unique format with all the promos and bumpers. Pretty soon all the kids are going to have is a Netflix app equivalent where you open up your cartoons, press play and that's it........sad.

Haha, I totally feel the same way! I've never really liked the new format of all the episodes of a show being posted at the same time on some streaming service...I much prefer the old way of airing one episode per week to build up suspense. Though I guess that shows how much of an old soul I am, lol.

Ha! Nah you're totally spot-on. Half of the enjoyment from so many of my favorite shows came from watching them on a week to week basis and then thinking and chatting with others about what could happen in the next weeks episode.

Countless iconic shows like 24 and Lost would've literally been half as good if an entire season was just uploaded to Netflix all at once and then when every episode ended on some massive jaw-dropping cliffhanger viewers were just like "okay, start the next one".

NO!

Omg you totally get me! lol I miss getting to talk about a lot of shows I'm into with friends. Most of the time whenever I ask a friend about how a new episode of a show is, the answer is usually "yeah, I just finished bingeing the whole series!" Grrr...

Exactly.

And the worst part of all is you get all these idiot crybabies who are so desperate to talk about (complain about) a season of a show they just binged through THE SECOND it got uploaded, and they still wonder why they say stuff like "I got bored halfway through, I had to force myself to finish it by watching 10 episodes in one day"

And i'm just like: No moron! you got bored because you watched an endless amount of story in one sitting which NATURALLY is boring as hell. Even these Netflix shows where it's only 13 episodes and they laughably say 13 episodes is too much LOL. Meanwhile i'm sitting here watching 23 episodes a year with shows like The Flash and i'm BEGGING for more once it's over, and why's that? Because the show airs WEEKLY over the course of 8-9 months with big cliffhangers every week.

Some people just don't get it.

Haha. Had never heard of Tooncast before, though I looked it up just now and it looks like a really cool channel! Sort of like the old Boomerang used to be in the US.

That sounds really cool! Not really sure what's been on Boomerang in the US lately, since Zap2it (a TV listings site which was fantastic for finding info like that) remodeled their site, but if it's anything like what's on Tooncast I would be a happy Scooby fan! :)
