Scooby-Doo 1&2 being not so much for kids

I was actually really contemplating over whether or not I should make this. The original video was made for one exclusive reason: to show my love for one of my favorite movies of all time. And, at least, half of the conversations that it started were negative. They were either negative towards me, suggesting that I was—somehow—some sort of Christian anti-sex mother for pointing the details out, or that I was some sort of over-objectifying pervert for pointing the details out, or that I was being an asshole because there were no details to point out. Or they were negative towards the movie, for having the details, which really fucked me up.
Anyway, the first film's screenplay (written by James Gunn) was originally going for a PG-13 rating with a darker tone, and a lot more sexual innuendos and weed jokes. Shaggy was going to be a full on stoner; Daphne and Velma were supposed to a have a relationship of some kind, but—when the first cut was given an R-rating—it was heavily re-edited into the film it is now, where most of these aspects are completely gone. For example: they, apparently, "CGI'd away" a lot of cleavage; something I've read and re-read so many times, and still don't understand the meaning of. I mean, I understand the concept, but I don't understand what it means for the movie. Either it's not true; or they reverted back to not covering the cleavage; or they did, but then cut those sequences out, completely, anyway. Or the aforementioned "CGI" is just so incredible good that it looks like clothes, while it's covering up absolute cleavage or something.
Footage: Scooby-Doo (2002), Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004).

This is my love letter to the R-rated cut of Scooby-Doo (2002). The title doesn’t mean that I think this is Hostel: Part IV, or that kids shouldn’t watch these films, or shouldn’t be allowed to. These specific parts are just things that would fly over a child’s head, and are definitely targeted towards older kids and adults since the original film was originally given an R-rating (you can read the details of that in the description, if you want). Also, a lot of people are trying to correct me by saying that Scooby was actually saying "hydrochronic," which is stupid because A: that's not what he's saying, and B: why would they want to stay away from that?

How the hell did they get Velma in a full leather outfit saying "whose your mommy?" past anyone ?!
-
The casting for Shaggy will never be this perfect ever again
-
I love the fact shaggy identifies his fans by the fact he can smell the weed as he walks past them.
-
This is how you make Scooby-Doo into adult movie without ruining the characters unlike the abomination that is Velma
-
I mean let's be real... If shaggy was a real person, he'd smoke a lot of weed
-
shaggy:We're gonna die. daph: think positive. shaggy:We're gonna die quickly. "he's out of line but he's right."
-
I am 100% convinced that Linda Cardellini as Velma set up my future taste in women when I was a kid. Also Matthew Lillard as Shaggy was one of the best casting decisions ever.
-
The dude playing Shaggy absolutely killed that role. SO well done
-
It is hilarious that they could get all these weird sex and stoner jokes into a scooby doo film
-
I remember seeing velma in a tracksuit back when i was a kid awakening something inside me
-
2:45 "RAGGY... YOU'RE WHIPPED" even Scooby knew wtf going on 💀
-
The humor is a Perfect blend of being funny for kids even tho they don’t understand the actual joke meanwhile adults can also absolutely understand it.
-
Matt Lillard as Shaggy is one of the best fitting characters, beside Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow.
-
Sometimes they throw adult humor into a kids' movie to keep the parents entertained, but these films were grown-up movies disguised as kids' films. Loved them when I was younger, had my mind blown as I grew up and they got funnier.
-
2:14 Scrappy's "oohhh" kills me every time.
-
5:10 Spandex suit Velma was something else. 😅
-
When I was a kid I always thought shaggy was just smelling some real good food @ 4:03 😅
-
Now I understand why my parents wouldn't let me watch this.
-
"we're gonna die" "think positive" "we're gonna die quickly" this one got me XD
