In Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, his redesign is awful and looks very little to nothing like his original counterpart, and instead looks more like a bad attempt to imitate Seth MacFarlane's art style like Family Guy, American Dad! or Brickleberry's art style.It's interesting to note that he’s supposed to represent his live-action appearance from the live-action Scooby-Doo movies.
