look I like memes. I love memes. but where the fuck did the shaggy meme come from. it’s so fucking random. what is this. who thought “let me make a meme from the 2004 cast interviews for the live action Scooby-Doo, and have everyone go on about how shaggy gained powers that can kill everyone, so they explain how they avoided that. also let’s make him kill god” what the fuc k

i’d hate to ruin the enigma by explaining this but i pretty much inadvertently witnessed the entire buildup to it and if i don’t explain it now i’ll never get the chance to

in one of the more recent scooby-doo movies, there’s a plot device where shaggy turns into a hyper-competent badass whenever he hears the word “bad” thanks to some hypnotherapy shenanigans, and in one particular scene he kicks the shit out of this one biker gang. along comes a meme edit of that scene where the joke is that shaggy went Ultra Instinct

as is the internet, that joke gets tossed along and snowballs from “shaggy went Ultra Instinct” to “shaggy can solo the DBZ-verse” to “shaggy can defeat thanos” to “shaggy is the most physically capable character in all of fiction”, in a couple years it culminates and suddenly resurfaces as “the very concept of shaggy holds unknowable power, to the point where even just taking up the role of him is hazardous to this reality”
