Jinkies Bravo is the het ship between Johnny Bravo and Velma Dinkley from the Johnny Bravo and Scooby-Doo fandoms.

Bravo-Dooby Doo
Season 1, episode 3, segment 2 of the series Johnny Bravo features the crossover between Johnny Bravo and "The Gang"/"Mystery Incorporated" from the Scooby-Doo series. On a trip up to visit Johnny's aunt Jebedissa his car breaks down and is given a lift in the Mystery Machine.

Fanon
There has never been much in the way of popular fanon for JinkiesBravo. Many shippers prefer to see Velma in femslash ships and Johnny Bravo over the years resides in a strange place where fans are uncertain whether the show has aged well with regards to Johnny's flirting.

Still - this does not stop this ship from touching upon several popular romance tropes:


 * The Big Buff Guy and the Smol Girlfriend
 * The Dumb Jock and the Smart Girl
 * The Greaser and the Preppie

In addition to this - the truth is that there is more to the dynamic between Johnny Bravo and Velma Dinkley than is discernable at first glance:


 * They're both seriously into martial arts (Velma trains in Judo, Johnny does Karate)
 * They both are fans of wrestling (professional wrestling that is), though Mama (Bunny) Bravo seems to be the more avid fan.
 * They both have a tendency of getting involved in other people's business.
 * They're both retro throwbacks to rockabilly culture (Velma is inspired by the bookworm type of 1950s sitcoms)

Trivia

 * While it is often cited that Velma's primary inspiration is Zelda Gilroy in the series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959-1963), there are those who bring up that the actress who played Zelda (Sheila Kuehl) was herself a lesbian in real life. It is however noteworthy that in the show's subsequent sequels, Zelda was happily married to the main character Dobie Gillis... who in the show is a "lovable loser" type of character who pursues many of the women he comes across in the series (just something interesting to think about in terms of parallels).
