The Misadventures of Skooks is a series of YouTube Poops surrounding Scooby-Doo (and, to a lesser extent, King of the Hill) by Orpheusftw. The videos received widespread acclaim for their editing and comedic timing, and are frequently quoted among YouTube Poop fans.
The series saw a resurgence in popularity in fall of 2014 on 4chan boards such as /co/ and /v/. On /v/ in particular, spamming Skooks-related material is considered a form of shitposting, and is thus widely practiced.
Notable gags
Swooce
Swooce refers to a scene within Part 2 of the series, in which Norville “Shaggy” Rogers announces “watch me swooce right in”, followed by a looped, exaggerated motion as the word “swooce” repeats. The word “swooce” itself is an example of Sus, as Shaggy’s unedited line is “swoop right in”. The phrase “swooce right in” would be used repeatedly in the series, and has evolved to mean any form of dramatic entrance.
An example of swoocing
Shaggy Dancing
Another joke surrounding Shaggy, the character’s movements while flailing have been noted to resemble dancing. Looped and edited, Shaggy is then superimposed onto another scene, typically one of other characters dancing. The dance is commonly paired with the line “you’re shaking it all wrong” from Adventure Time
.
Shaking it all right
The Caveman
An iconic gag within Part 3 features Shaggy rambling nonsensically about a caveman being a sheriff, then forgetting he is not frozen in a block of ice. The monologue has become something of a copypasta on /v/, and is second only to “swooce” in sheer volume of posts.
