Scott The Woz - Hey all! Scott Here! -

[CreamyHerman’s]

I noticed there is a thread for Sseth (ain't spelling his name all the way), but I didn't noticed a thread for our favorite Virgin from Ohio, Scott The Woz.

What y'all thoughts on Scott and his videos?

My personal favorite video of his is the Call of Duty games on the Wii:

It's an earlier video of his, but I still enjoy it. His main bread and butter is talking about Nintendo consoles and the games that released on them:

He also makes christmas specials around Madden 08:

(His other ones aren't as focus, but there's always a Madden 08 reference in each one).

He kinda gives me Doug Walker pre-2009 vibes, but with more effort and knowledge about the games plus his thoughts on them.

SCOTT THE WOZ IS NOT A LOLCOW

Yeah. I like this guy. His videos are pretty fun.

 

[agility_]

He once showed up on James and Mike Mondays and his voice was radically different.

 

[Pee Wee Herman]

He sucks. The same goes for that retarded puppet.

Update: I changed my mind, I like him now. The puppet still sucks.

When was this? I know he started this channel when he was younger

Edit: Disregard, I suck cocks. Yeah his voice change is drastic, I wonder if he's using a voice module to raise it a few octaves:

 

[The Last Stand]

I can't remember how I was introduced into Scott the Woz, probably YouTube recommendations. But I remember watching one video and was hooked.

His personality and skits are the highlight of his content. It makes you feel like a kid again, enjoying video games as a hobby. He's very informative as well.

This one is my favorite. We've all been there before with buying used games. Sometimes, the copy looks new. Typically, the instruction manual is missing. But the worst offender of all are those cheap GameStop box art and cases.

How DO you lose the box art?

 

[UnKillShredDur]

This made me chuckle.

I don't think it's GameStop's fault per-say, it's probably white trash and ghetto folk messing up the initial copy, and GameStop being forced to sell it as such. You can ask GameStop to give you replacements for you though, so that's nice.

For NES and SNES games, they came with plastic sleeves for the carts (snes dropped them around 1994) so many retards just tossed the box and manual in the trash. Concordantly as soon as kids took off for college their parents shelved their stuff in the attic/basement and if the boxes got in the way of space, off they went.

You could tell he didn't want to get cancelled or affect his nice guy persona. Such the time we live in. RESPECT.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I like Scott's videos. He's, by Nintendo youtuber standards, really young so his content (Wii shovelware) isn't covered by other channels. Its really neat to see since I largely skipped that generation and thus missed out on all of the really bad cellphone games being sold at full retail.

Funny thing: I had a Wii and always wanted to play WiiWare games due to the pricing of them. I am glad I didn't spend my parents money on such trash.

 

[Overcooked Raccoon]

I'd say in our current generation of video game youtubers he's def at the top for having a good mix of discussion and comedy.

The banter he has for his live action segments reminds me of like a smaller scale Always Sunny. Doesn't stay on jokes for too long and there's usually some joke in every vid he does I really enjoy.

His Scott's Stash channel where he goes into his videos, or jut does random things is also great background noise. He did a series where he looked at all the trophies in Smash and it was just really wholesome. He doesn't play to the general crowd(He skips like every single pokemon cause he doesn't know them) and just talks about the ones he personally enjoys. So you know it's just him basically thinking out loud the entire time.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

Just like Nostalgia Critic, the skits tend to ruin the content. I'd still have him sign my copy of Chibi-Robo Zip Lash though.

I love his shovelware series. Shovelware, cheap software was popular on the Wii, PS2 and DS at the time.

I recognized a couple of those games. The true meaning of shovelware.

 

[MooseGump]

I like his running gags too like whenever he covers anything related to PC it cuts to the same footage of him sitting in front of his Mac or him throwing a game into the toilet

I don’t mind the skits, they seemed to be limited to shorts or his holiday specials. And unlike the critic, they have some good jokes from time to time with deadpan delivery by his buddies

Little nitpick I have: his ending music can be quite loud and sudden.

Scott's skits at the very least have a good sense of timing and are super fast-paced to boot; if one joke falls flat, another one's there to take its place. It also helps that a lot of the better skits and jokes from the live-action segments are just thought of on the spot, or are just improvised by his friends after they've been fucking around for a bit. Doug's videos always felt contrived and the gags either get stretched out for WAY too long or feel like they're made with Doug's sense of humor in mind and no one else's. Even their BTS videos went from being more off-the-cuff to performative as things went on after they knew they were being filmed. Scott's stuff just feel like they were made because they just wanted to hang out together as friends or had some cool idea for a video.

It's why I can never really bring myself to hate Scott or his content. Sure he may put on a persona for his videos because ofc he will, and not all of his jokes land, but his content still feels genuine and he feels honestly impassioned on any subject he talks about, even for something as simple as the fuckin' history of memory cards. And with video game YouTubers and ESPECIALLY Nintendo-based ones, that's a rarity.

Little nitpick I have: his ending music can be quite loud and sudden.

That's probably because he's just ripping it straight from the 3D Dot Heroes OST upload of "Breakout" on YouTube and not thinking too much about it. In the specials or any time he has a custom version of the theme song made, it's usually never nearly as loud.

EDIT:

The banter he has for his live action segments reminds me of like a smaller scale Always Sunny. Doesn't stay on jokes for too long and there's usually some joke in every vid he does I really enjoy.

"So tell me about that dumb fucking tennis game that hurt your feelings" will never stop being funny to me. Something about the guy who plays the therapist's delivery and his constant half smirk always gets me.
