You’re Afraid of the Seven Dwarfs? FYI They Are A Hip Hop Crew

Ted: You’re afraid of the seven dwarfs?
Robin: Just Doc. He’s creepy! I mean, the guy’s got a medical degree. What’s he doing hanging around a bunch of coal miners?

How I Met Your Mother season 2, episode 9 “Slap Bet”

I can only imagine what Robin would have thought about this list of rejected potential dwarf names… (my faves in bold). Oh, also, I really enjoy how several current rappers/hip hop stars seem to have culled their names from this list. Where is the dub step version of Hi-Ho?!?!

  • Awful
  • Baldy
  • Bashful
  • Biggo-Ego
  • Burpy
  • Daffy
  • Deafy (not cool, Disney, not cool)
  • Dippy
  • Dirty (as in Ol’ and Bastard?)
  • Dizzy
  • Doleful
  • Dopey
  • Dumpy
  • Flabby
  • Gabby
  • Grumpy
  • Hickey (I’m assuming this doesn’t mean like a makeout hickey but idk for sure)
  • Hoppy
  • Hotsy 
  • Hungry
  • Jaunty
  • Jumpy
  • Lazy

  • Puffy (“or Diddy, P. Papa, Papa Diddy Pap? I don’t know what you’re calling yourself these days”)
  • Sappy
  • Scrappy
  • Shifty
  • Shorty (all I can think of is either swing my way or hey it’s your birthday, gonna party like it’s your birthday)
  • Silly
  • Sleepy
  • Snappy
  • Sneezy
  • Sneezy-Wheezy (this is clearly an homage to Lil Wayne when he is feeling under the weather)
  • Sniffy
  • Snoopy (I think they meant to say Snoop D-O-Double-G)
  • Soulful
  • Strutty
  • Stuffy
  • Swift (hey, how did Taylor get up in here? This ain’t her genre!)
  • Tearful
  • Thrifty
  • Weepy
