The thing about Mr. Magoo was that he was supposed to be old and very near-sighted but didn't really care or understand it and so put up with it, but he wasn't retarded.

I think 'Grape Ape' might have been retarded. I think that was his schtick.

Mr. Magoo is hard-of-seeing, not retarded.

R5 Pete Puma! He was based on this character from the Jackie Gleason Show called Crazy Guggenheim by Frank Fontaine. And, yes, I believe that character was retarded.

I always thought Crazy Guggenheim was an alcoholic.

R9, thank you! He was a bit of a meme in my friend group. If someone asked you how many you wanted (of anything), we’d say in tard voice “Oh, tree or four...”

Confounded! Quincy Magoo was a graduate of Rutgers.

Shaggy seemed a little retarded.

I think that Shaggy just smoked himself retarded. He also may have picked up some parasite from the dog.
