He's a beatnik who dresses like a hippie? Are you sure? Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 22:14, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
I'm sure it probably doesn't need to be asked, being that it's been parodied in just about every way imaginable in movies and references...
Shaggy, being a hippy/hipster, exhibits many of the signs of Marihuana use, though this aspect is never referred to or shown. Other possibilities are that he partakes of psychotropic substances, as well.
My rationale is such:
He's always ravenously hungry. Weed stoners typically go for carbohydrate based foods: Sandwiches, pizza, chips, Scooby snacks, and so on (Agreed, one doesn't necessarily have to be a stoner to be hungry like this, myself as a prime example).
He's usually the first one to see the monster/ghost.
He responds to his dog as if it were actually speaking to him (this could be seen as sort of an internal monologue on the part of Scooby, not actually spoken to the other characters). He responds to Scooby more than the other characters. The fact that they sometimes also have discussions with the dog indicates that they're not completely innocent, either. This is really quite consistent with the times, where two just-turned-men are driving around the country in a VW microbus with two unmarried girls, with no home or sources of income is perfectly ok. It also leads to the obvious question of "Where do they get the money to buy their stuff? How do they eat? How do they pay for gas?"

Followup!
Ok, I know this is silly of me, but I actually read the "Adult Themes" section of the main scooby doo page, and realised I redundantly covered this all redundantly. Of course, the issue of money still comes up.
In refferance to the above. No air fares, they drive everywhere, hence the van, and the tiny van is probably pretty fuel efficent, shaggy's uncle is also pretty rich too.
As to drug use: I mean Scoobie doobie doo, it's right there in the name. The way scooby and shaggy do anything for a scoobie snack, it's pretty clear those things are hash cakes. and why are those 2 in the back, when the other 3 are up front, smoking a joint no doubt... Oh, btw scooby snack aren't mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.249.207 (talk) 00:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Shaggy's behavior does not stem from drug use, but from the fact that he is an omnipotent being who exists in the eighth dimension. He is often under the intense pressure of being an entity above God Himself since Shaggism (Religion of Shaggy) has become prominent once more after a 2000 year hiatus. With such a large surge in popularity, The Almighty Gobbler, Shaggy is under stress, causing overwhelmingly epic behavior. Legend has it that he only used 13% of his power to create the universe itself over 18 billion years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uwuyeet (talk • contribs) 04:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Can Scooby be considered a relative, since he is a dog, and not actually related to Shaggy; he's more of a friend. Cool Bluetalk to me 17:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Could we get a picture of the "classic" Shaggy? This modern 'What's New Scooby Doo'-version is not what most people have in mind when they think of him. Es-won 20:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I seem to remember Velma talking to Scooby and reacting to his verbal responses or at the very least him nodding. Does anyone else remember this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edbles (talk • contribs) 20:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
If you've seen much of the various series, as I have, you would notice that EVERYONE (not just the gang) reacts to Scooby on a regular basis. For example, a recurring joke is the tendency for people to sometimes confuse what he says and repeat it trying to figure it out, due to Scooby adding R to his words. They also seem to react to his cowardly ways, grabbing him and pulling him back when he says he is going to run away. They also treat Scooby though he was both a dog and a human, giving him human privilges and feeding him human foods, and I don't recall them feeding him dog food either, but they also feed him from a dog dish sometimes. Lastly, I have no idea where the whole drug use thing came about, but as a show aimed a young viewers, it's VERY unlikely that this would happen or parents and the FCC would be all over the Scooby writers.24.131.170.13 (talk) 10:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Should'nt there be a metion of Times shaggy where's a red shirt instead of green? Charecter wise a red shirt meant shaggy was either in charge of the group or generally braver than when he wears green. Shaggy also doesn't appear to wear any socks also, at least most of the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.215.242.231 (talk) 05:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Yeah its a pretty big plot hole much like his being a vegan in the later episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.233.221.217 (talk) 01:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I believe the issue of potential homosexuality should not be readded. It places undue weight on a topic that I believe is a non-issue for most people. Also, the paper the section references contains the opinion of only one man, who, as a gay man himself who writes almost exclusively about gay issues, cannot be objective.

Why dudes and dudettes lol, I was watching boomerang and I saw a follow-up story on Shaggy which shows he's skinny even though he eats a lot because he's vegetarian, but he ate a lot of scooby snacks which made him fat so he decied to distract himself out of eating by collecting Belt buckels (sorry if i spelled it wrong I'm not really sure if you spell it like that). And now has like more than 300 Belt buckels, and he always wears a different one in each episode.(talk) 19:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC
In the latest movie he is seen eating meat, and Casey is voicing him no more. So, Shaggy is a carnivore forevermore. In all the new movies (starting with Zombie Island), he is seen eating meat and or seafood. I'm not sure what episodes he was a vegan, but he was never a vegan in these movies and they were voiced by Kasem.Supertheman (talk) 20:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
I found this new Shaggy GIF and I thought it would be good for this article since it features Shaggy in his classic form and shows not just his front but his whole body. So I thought it would be nice to add so people can see what he looks all around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by J.Severe (talk • contribs) 16:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
This page talks about the fact of Shaggy embodying the Beatnik/Hippy characteristics, but the one encompassing stereotype that he embodies is that of the stoner.
He is one of the best examples of the stoner archetype in cartoon form.
He seems to have an omnipresent case of the munchies

Several official credits in the IMDb list Shaggy's full name as Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers. This constitutes alignment with canon. The entry should reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.46.210 (talk) 18:03, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

At the risk of taking things too seriously, I always object to the characterization of Shaggy and Scooby as "cowardly". They often have the most face-to-face interaction with the villains, don costumes and stage elaborate "skits" to distract them, etc. Like Klinger in M*A*S*H, they don't seek out danger, but they do what they need to do, and their friends can count on them. PurpleChez (talk) 17:11, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to mention the character, Padawan Sha'a Gi, from Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 TV series), which was created, at least visually, in homage to Shaggy Rogers? PurpleChez (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Original: Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. He is a cowardly slacker and the long-time best friend of his equally cowardly Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. Like Scooby-Doo, Shaggy is more interested in eating than solving mysteries.
My changed version Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a god in the Scooby-Doo franchise. He is a cowardly slacker and the long-time best friend of his equally cowardly Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. Like Scooby-Doo, Shaggy is more interested in eating than solving mysteries. He also has superpowers that let him do anything without even using that much of his power capacity.

The voice actors section of the info of Scott Innes needs to be updated, as shown here "Scott Innes (1999–2009, 2010–2018, 2020)". The reason being is that even though he stopped voicing him in 2009, he actually continued to voice him in several McDonald's commercials and in the Scooby-Doo! The Museum of Mysteries theme park ride from 2010 to 2018. He also recently returned to voice Shaggy in the Playmobil shorts on YouTube in 2020. As shown bellow.
