Have you ever thought that Goofy was just a little bit too goofy? Wonder where Woody Woodpecker gets all that energy? Keep reading to take a look at 10 children’s characters who were obviously on drugs:
1 Scooby Doo and Shaggy Marijuana
Scooby and Shaggy were clearly the two slackers of Mystery, Inc. Add in the fact that they always had the munchies, were way too paranoid about everything and drove around in the back of a van, and it’s pretty safe to say that these two were ripping bong hits every chance they got. Of course, there’s also the infamous recurring scene in which the Mystery Machine drives away and smoke curiously billows out the back. Scooby DOOBY Doo!
2 Woody Woodpecker Cocaine
The hyper-speed energy of Woody Woodpecker is just too boundless and frenetic to be the mannerisms of a completely sober cartoon character. I mean, you can’t watch an episode of this classic cartoon – what with Woody bouncing off the walls, eyes all big and dilated – and not start to catch onto the fact that he was snorting something up that beak of his.
3 The Caterpillar From Alice in Wonderland Opium
The Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland smokes out of a hookah – case closed. Further ammo – at one point he exhales and a cloud of smoke in the shape of a Chinese dragon comes out of his mouth. Oh, and he also informs Alice that she can grow and shrink through the use of mushrooms. Sounds like the guy knows his way around a drug party.
Note: The Caterpillar is probably just the clearest example of someone getting stoned in Wonderland. The Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat were clearly on something as well, and Tweedledum and Tweedledee were probably huffing paint out in those woods.
4 Goofy Glue
Speaking of huffing, Goofy was just a little too loopy to suffer from low IQ alone. With his patented awkward walk and remarkable ability to fall flat on his ass, those motor skills of his were obviously impaired in some way. My bet is on rubber cement, but I could also see this dopey Mickey sidekick sniffing on a Sharpie or sucking nitrous from a red balloon.
5 Chester Cheetah Marijuana
Forget the old cats vs. dog feud – Chester Cheetah would be great friends with Scooby Doo. If this cartoon feline ever took off those patented sunglasses of his, it’s probably fair to say we’d see a couple of dry, bloodshot eyes. And of course, anyone who loves Cheetos as much as that Cheetah has got to have a pretty healthy level of THC circulating through the body.
6 Popeye Steroids
Spinach makes you strong? Yeah, right – not that fast at least. Symptoms of steroid use include sudden growth in muscles, increased aggression and feelings of invincibility. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, another symptom is poor decision making – which would explain why ol’ Popeye was dating that whiny string bean with the wobbly arms – Olive Oyl.
7 Pepe Le Pew Ecstasy
How do you spell love. Well, when you love everything as intensely as Pepe Le Pew, the answer is probably M-D-M-A. Combine his overt affection with the fact that he couldn’t stop rubbing his hands all over the ladies, and it makes a pretty strong case that Pepe Le Pew was hitting up the underground rave scene in his off time.
8 Animal PCP
Symptoms of PCP include erratic behavior, poor speech, mania and a blank stare facial expression. Animal possesses all of these traits. Angel dust also grants the user extreme strength. If you recall, the enthusiastic drummer of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem actually had to be CHAINED to his drum set because he became so violent. Oh, and he’s a musician – a profession that virtually requires you to be a drug addict.
9 Yakko, Wakko and Dot LSD
The odd behavior of the three main characters from Animaniacs might be the result of many different types of drugs. However, when you take into account clues such as Wakko attempting to eat scene backgrounds and Yakko believing he’s the king of a made-up country named Anvilania, the use of hallucinogenics becomes more apparent. Clearly, only such grand illusions could be caused by LSD.
10 Pippi Longstocking Marijuana
Here’s one more pothead for the books. If that picture doesn’t sell you, Pippi’s love for all things fun, along with her disdain for authority figures and public schooling should serve to further bolster her hippie tendencies. She also loves telling long stories that consist of nothing but pure nonsense or ridiculousness. Pippi’s curious super strength (she can lift a horse over her head with one hand) also suggests that she may be lacing those joints with PCP.

haha that’s so true never thought of that…really funny
me and my friends always imagined hey arnold growing up to be a pothead. dude lives in the city with his aging inattentive grandparents in boarding house with a bunch of nuts, has a baller room in the attic with crazy light shows and speakers, sneaks up to the roof all the time, and has a black friend to get him some good shit. hes also quite chill and wears a skirt
I could not agree with this more!
Skeltor was a meth head
I pretty much agree with all of these but the picture of Animal pretty much says it all as far as his angel dust usage goes.
I agree, but the catapillar was on hookah
Of course the Mad Hatter was on something. He was “mad as a hatter” from all the mercury used in making hats.
Just look at Goofy’s eyes…
Brilliant. And with much merit. Pepe Le Pew … hahaha. What about the Cat In The Hat?
hahaha……………….i definitely agree with this, particularly, popeye. Sudden growth of muscles is a sign for steroid use……surely add sponge bob to this list…….
so true on allofthem
What about Li’l Abner and other partakers of Yokumberry Tonic and Kickapoo Joy Juice?
Well, I expected some characters other than the ones selected. Still, most of the characters selected just don’t seem to be users of any kind. I think that the writer of this article is under the age of 30. Most anyone over that age wouldn’t even think of a list like this. Got to agree with the catepiller.
do your research- any competent historian knows that popeye was on marij. He smoked it out of a pipe for crying out loud. And Spinach was a slang term in the early 1900′s for POT… duhhh. case closed. Plus Blimpy and his craving for massive amounts of burgers…. olive oyls thinness is she didnt eat when she was smoking.
Steroids were not used in the early 1900s when popeye was invented. Pot was get it right !
Arnold doesn’t wear a skirt.
It’s the bottom of his shirt sticking out from under his sweater.
What about Gargamel from Smurfs? Dude sees little blue people that live in mushrooms.
^^ worddd. Gargamel musta been on some LSD too or maybe magic mushrooms, hallucinating and seeing weird blue dwarfs lol. Great article btw.
There are some truths in there… But what about Ren & Stimpy and all that insane Cartoon Network crew?
& spongebob? def a tweaker..
Noooo! Popeye is not on steroids, he’s on spinach!
how just HOW tell me HOW did u guyz forget about SPEEDY GONZALES every mouse in dat cartoon was MESSED UP! lol daaaaaang
Oh, great, another retard who needs to correlate things to drugs. Okay, I can understand the Scooby Doo reference, all weed-head stoners get the munchies, but seriously? Half the bilge you regurgitated onto this page makes it look like you found the most interesting (or obnoxious) characters in cartoon history, and somehow correlated them and their personalities and behaviors to the effects of various drugs, regardless of any research behind it.
What really is sad though? Every stoner on the internet is going to look at this load and say “OMG you are totally right ha ha ha I never realized but that is exactly how it is for sure 100% totally man dude”. And why is that? Because none of them have half the sense to look past the immature amusement of relating childhood characters to your modern drug interests to see that, to be perfectly frank, you could take any of these characters and relate them to oh, say, mental illnesses or videogame addictions.
But here you are. You took the most bland, unsophisticated approach to comedy in order to pander to the most lackluster of our social groups.Well, don’t you feel like the giant of scholarly achievement. Oh, and as a side note, it’s hookah. It was invented in the 1500′s in India for, quote “smoking tobacco in which the smoke is cooled and filtered by passing through water” unquote. And mushrooms? There are species of mushroom that are, in fact, edible and do not cause hallucinations. Have you even bothered looking into the backstory or reasoning behind Alice in Wonderland? Obviously not.
So, again, congratulations on taking something from our childhood and perverting it with something completely worthless and inane. Good for you.

To (God Thinks): You need to calm down and relax. This is a humorous article, not to be taken seriously. The author is just joking around. I doubt he actually beleives these characters were on drugs. As for the use of hookahs; they are also used for smoking opium and marijuana. In fact, more people today use hookahs for marijuana, than for tobacco. A hookah is a type of water pipe, it can be used to smoke whatever you want to smoke.
He forgot to add Peewee Herman. Peewee had to be on something pretty strong to act the way he did. Speedy Gonzalez was also on something strong and the other mice were wasted all the time, too much tequila for them. Yosamite Sam was always wired and pissed off, what was he on? Any ideas? What do you think (GodThinks)?
@god thinks: You must be the most uptight person on the internet. I would venture to guess that you’re a christian. Not just because of your handle, but you hate on everything this person wrote for this little article/joke. I have never done any of these drugs but still find it quite funny. Go read your bible, that’s full of funny fictional stories, lol.
What about Doug and his friend, Skeeter? I bet if they were alone, they’d do something hardcore like mesc…
…or Cow and Chicken? (I.R. Baboon concerned me =o| )
…or H.R. Pufnstuf? (The name gives it away!)
…or Yo Gabba Gabba (they had Weezer on once when I saw it – don’t ask!)
…or Eureeka’s Castle (that Bogge and Quagmire ate peanut butter sandwiches a lot and Batley was flying horribly because, well, he’s a bat =o) )
I can go on but then, I would have too much time on my hands. XD
I forgot to add with Eureeka’s Castle…wasn’t Mr. Knack like a pusher? He was selling things out of his cart??
Ok. I’m done. =o)
Love this, except that animal (the muppet) definitely wasn’t on PCP. He was based on Keith Moon, the drummer for The Who, who was a crazy motherfucker and an alcoholic.
Now, If Popeye was on some version of steroids (more like some kind of cocaine and speed mixed with his spinach if you ask me), how come Bluto (Brutus, whatever) was as large as he was? Seems to me that Bluto was on something more and more full time than Popeye.
The squinky-eyed sailor could even be sweet and nice, no matter his taste in females. Bluto could not stay decent, no matter what, he turned into a lecher!
And Olive must have been on some kind of purgative and anorexic or bulimic.
@Godthinks, srsly mate u gotta pretty big pole up ur ass. i dont do drugs and i still agree with all these. its just humour and ur self righteousness is clouding ur views. I bet u are christian and naturally follow the bibles every word. What u need to realise is that the bibles stories are the consequences of excessive drug use. ima say opium and mushrooms. All the points u raise are pathetic rebuttles which, although factual have no bearing on what was initially said. I think u need to stop being a pretentious douche and have some fun.
What a great read. Hallarious. Somebody is great comic and smart. I needed a good laugh. thanks.

does anyone remember underdog and the pill in his ring?
Geeze, God Thinks, get a life!!! This is a HUMOR article. Not a research grad school thesis on cartoon history. Look at the top of the page, see that word “humor”, that means it’s supposed to be FUNNY. Not serious. Are that same annoying guy who watches Harry Potter movies and is complaining the entire time “whatever, that could never happen…”
Woody is more likely a Meth addict, coke doesn’t make you THAT hyper.
RE: Alice In Wonderland, the Mad Hatter was mad due to the intake of mercury vapour. Mercury used to be used in hat-making, to help bind strands of animal fur to produce felt. (Mercury itself is pretty harmless, it’s the vapours it produces that are harmful). Besides that, the whole book is about people/animals tripping in many ways – the original book is quite dark and scary in parts
couldn’t animal be on speed
Add Spike from The Land Before Time to the list of potheads. If you’ve seen any of them this needs no explanation
what about droopy
yeah, droopy was on luudes man. Spongebob was on massive amounts of prozac and drank way to much coffee..I don’t know about speedy, but his cousin, slowpoke Rodriguez was so freakin high. ” hey speedy…., where izz it, the Tabasco sauzz…” la cuuca raaa chaaaa…
sorry, but popeye was smoking pot. spinach was slang for pot when the cartoon originally appeared, and although it his behaviour doesn’t match the stereotype of today’s pothead, it does conform to the behaviour described in the anti-pot propaganda of the time.

shoulda put Courage the Cowardly Dog on as a meth head. Always cleaning, he’s paranoid, he hallucinates and freaks out at the smallest thing. although he’s brave when need be. and he talks to his computer but i doubt it really talks back to him, it’s just another hallucination
You totally left out Snow White and her seven little friends …
Sleepy – Barbiturates
Grumpy – Too much speed
Happy – Marijuana
Dopey – Into everything
Bashful – too neurotic to need anything else
Sneezy – Cocaine
Doc – was the connection
Of course Snow White was cocaine!!!
And then there is Huey, Dewey, and Louie who are … all …. on …. quack!!!
With apologies and all credit that is due to George Carlin
What about Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh? And come to think of it, Piglet!
If Donald Duck were alive today, he would have been put on Ritalin.
@all’o'ya sober dumbasses.
sure, a few of these characters can definitely be tied to certain drugs (scooby and shaggy, popeye, animal, and goofy are the only ones i see on this list that i can say you tied in (mostly)correctly. everything else, you may want to do a little more research on. people who don’t use trying to make a funny about drugs=DOESN’T WORK.
oh, and lol at anyone who tries to tell me i’m a dumbass. i’m never gonna see any of this again.
h.r. pufnstuf- makes these other ones eat their scooby snacks
stumbled this, lol’d, good article (:
really juse commented to tell “God thinks” to go smoke a blunt dude.
or just fall off the earth, either or. grow a pair of balls and chill the hell out.
