About

"I Think Coolsville Sucks" is a memorable line from the 2004 film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed in which the character Fred Jones is quoted out of context following an interview with a reporter from Coolsville, the fictional town that serves as the base of operations for Mystery Inc. The quote is frequently referenced in posts on 4chan's /tv/ board along with photoshops of Jones yelling the line, a practice sometimes referred to as "Scoobyposting."
