Definitely the villain that totally would've gotten away with it if it wasnt for those meddling kids.

neogreenlantern Mar 24, 2026 +297

I'm thinking red herring. Bonus points if he's actually Red Herring from Pup named Scooby doo

297

Rusty__Buntafolio Mar 24, 2026 +38

Loved how Fred always looked dumb for his eternal feud with Red... A joke I didn't understand as a kid.

38

Aggressive_Noise6426 Mar 25, 2026 +3

I think the one time Fred doesn’t accuse him is the one time he actually was the bad guy right?

3

ContinuumGuy Mar 25, 2026 +2

IIRC there was a flashback that he'd done it in their first case.

2

BirdmanTheThird Mar 24, 2026 +14

Yeah tbh I’m thinking he’s the “red herring to the red herring” aka he’s not the guy who tricks the gang first but he’s who the audience thinks did it

14

mikeweasy Mar 24, 2026 +8

That character is how I leanred what a Red Herring is!

904Funk Mar 24, 2026 +30

Pup Named Scooby Doo is still the best iteration of the tv show(grew up in the 90’s with all of the eras)

30

Bears_On_Stilts Mar 25, 2026 +2

I heard once (can't confirm if it's true) that the show's existence was the result of a studio compromise. Two different execs were pitching Scooby spinoffs in the late eighties, and one wanted it campy, self-aware and retro with musical numbers (a la Little Shop of Horrors), while another wanted Scooby Babies. So... they did both.

2

Witty-Lawfulness2983 Mar 24, 2026 +5

Had not thought about that character in 25 years!

5

NoHorseNoMustache Mar 24, 2026 +5

I just watched both seasons of Mystery Inc and was disappointed that Red never made an appearance.

5

lowmankind Mar 25, 2026 +2

More of a Stingray really…

2

GambitsAce23 Mar 25, 2026 +1

sort of red herring imo

Danominator Mar 24, 2026 +35

Pretty sure hes daphne

This better not awaken anything in me

bigdaddyt2 Mar 24, 2026 +8

Oh god is Mindy in charge of this scooby doo too?

8

ContinuumGuy Mar 24, 2026 +9

Either that or the red herring for it.

9

MisterTruth Mar 24, 2026 +3

Red Herring is the same age as the kids

3

I-Have-Mono Mar 24, 2026 +3

TMZ is reporting he’s actually mo-capping Scooby.

3

franlcie Mar 24, 2026 +3

I thought the rumour was he was playing Scooby’s original owner

3

greatgoogliemoogly Mar 24, 2026 +3

I honestly think he'd make for an incredible Fred.

3

shallstorm Mar 24, 2026 +3

At first glance before reading the plot details in the article I thought they cast him as Mister E.

3

Creative_Eye7413 Mar 25, 2026 +2

I think he will be playing Scooby’s owner. On 3C Film’s most recent livestream he mentioned that Scooby will start out with an owner

2

s0ulbrother Mar 25, 2026 +2

There’s a good show on Apple about him murdering kids. Maybe it’s the origin story

2

antiMATTer724 Mar 25, 2026 +2

I'd watch it. He's been good in everything I've seen him in.

2

DoubleDownAgain54 Mar 25, 2026 +2

Kids are the worst.

2

TonyWonderslostnut Mar 24, 2026 -14

It’s Netflix, so he’ll probably be Shaggy

-14

JamStan1978 Mar 24, 2026 +3

they already revealed the cast for the gang and its actually really good.

3

Last-Tune1001 Mar 24, 2026 +6

Did you even read the article?

TonyWonderslostnut Mar 24, 2026 -7

Obvious joke apparently wasn’t obvious to you.

PayneTrain181999 Mar 24, 2026 +22

Love how he has a great rapport with Sue but dunks on the rest of them every chance he gets.

22

InnocentTailor Mar 24, 2026 +31

He was also amazing in the Naked Gun. He decking the psycho kids was hilarious.

31

TrumpnEpstein Mar 24, 2026 +10

If I had a nickel for every role PWH had where he decks kids, I'd have two nickels.

10

CuteGrayRhino Mar 24, 2026 +18

Him as Mole Man as so underutilized in that mole. They should have given us a proper fight scene with him vs F4 before he got arrested in the introduction.

18

NoNefariousness2144 Mar 25, 2026 +6

There was 10-15 minutes of Mole Man stuff they cut out of the opening. Its why the scenes of Mole Man taking the building underground looked so high-quality compared to the rest of the montage. Plus Paul himself said they cut most of his scenes out.

PayneTrain181999 Mar 24, 2026 +5

“GLORY TO THE UNDERGROUND!”

dont_shoot_jr Mar 24, 2026 +11

Imagine if he won another Golden Globe for Scooby

11

StoneGoldX Mar 24, 2026 +5

He hasn't had it in years. Professional wrestler Jeff Jarrett stole it and would hit people over the head with it. To my knowledge, it was never returned on TV.

5

AlexTorres96 Mar 24, 2026 +3

Wrestlers today are too stupid and don't have the street smarts than Double J and Big S*** have. Those fuckers play chess while everyone else plays connect four. They played everyone like fiddles and nobody with braincells bother to copy their playbook. They'd rather kill themselves for imaginary star ratings instead of being cutthroat businessmen. Big S*** and Jarrett aren't marks for star ratings, they're all business and have always been two steps ahead.

3

murderisntnice Mar 25, 2026 +1

Jarrett also hasn't ever defended the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Championship, that carny piece of trash. Double or Nothing match against PWH at Double or Nothing or bust.

deepstatelady Mar 24, 2026 +4

Can't wait to see him as Velma.

Aevum1 Mar 25, 2026 +4

as long as they keep Mindy Kailing as far away from it as humanly possible.

karmagirl314 Mar 24, 2026 +9

Is that the guy from Cruella? I liked him.

MeasurementNo0 Mar 24, 2026 +11

I really like this dude. Hope he gets more work

batatasta Mar 25, 2026 +2

hes been in a million things the last few years haha hes doing about as well as any actor could do

I guess I need to look harder.

JonBoy82 Mar 24, 2026 +8

Dudes on a generational run. First time I saw him was on Kingdom as Keith.

Always Sunny for me. [No idea who he was was at the time, though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05SKJyzQL4)

MikeDubbz Mar 24, 2026 +3

The blooper of him asking Charlie if he's ever had sex, cracks me the hell up.

3

travio Mar 24, 2026 +2

That is an all timer. Watching the other cast members try to keep from breaking is great.

2

MikeDubbz Mar 24, 2026 +3

Definitely the series with the all around best funniest bloopers ever. Bar none.

3

Puppetmaster858 Mar 24, 2026 +3

By far the best bloopers ever and it’s not even close, seeing all the improv they do is awesome too

3

icameinyourburrito Mar 24, 2026 +3

Glenn mentioned somewhere that he and Alanna Ubach (Roxy) were the guest stars that cracked them up the most on set

3

InternetProtocol Mar 25, 2026 +3

Alanna played Danny's daughter in the 90's movie Reniassance Man, ~25 years later she's his favorite hoor!

3

JonBoy82 Mar 24, 2026 +2

Dam I didn't realize he was in IASIP

2

CuteGrayRhino Mar 24, 2026 +8

Honestly, he's one actor I don't mind seeing in so many movies. And it's simply because he is that good at what he does.

8

shieldwall66 Mar 25, 2026 +1

Americana, Blackbird, The Luckiest Man in America.. just great performances every time.

1

aratcliffe Mar 24, 2026 +6

Yet another role Mitch didn't get.

I know hes probably gonna play some kind of gag character, but wouldnt it be cool if he was our first live-action Mr E?

_Dreamer_Deceiver_ Mar 24, 2026 +2

I will never not see him round housing a kid as stingray.

2

East1st Mar 25, 2026 +2

He looks just like Scrappy…minus the beard

2

Historical-Shock4365 Mar 25, 2026 +2

He’s gunna make a great Daphne

xOLDBHOYx Mar 24, 2026 +3

Kcidobor Mar 24, 2026 +2

Now I’m going to have to watch it. I love this guy

Same. He was a great actor in the only two things I remember seeing him in. Richard Jewell and Blackbird.

2

Kcidobor Mar 25, 2026 +1

I loved him in Cruella and Fantastic Four

HelloitsmeEddie Mar 24, 2026 +1

No we got the traditional Costco guys preshow instead and Shane Taylor taking a spear from a teenager. Love the company, just wish they would stop with the celebrity slop on a 345 minute run time…

AlexTorres96 Mar 24, 2026

That idiot pulled a power play by demanding the Queenpins directors not use WWE footage because he wanted a spoiled rich kid to get the run instead. Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet should've told him to go f*** himself and follow the script instead of pulling a power play.

Hylianhaxorus Mar 24, 2026 -1

I read somewhere he was being eyes to play scoobys original owner before shaggy saves him. Could be cute.
