History Trivia / ScottTheWoz

** In his UsefulNotes/GameBoy video, Scott says that the Mega Man games on the handheld were all remixed versions of the NES titles, failing to mention that Mega Man V was a completely original game with a whole new set of stages and Robot Masters.

* RealSongThemeTune: A portion of the track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RKnfOAI1A0 "Breakout"]] from the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 game ''VideoGame/ThreeDDotGameHeroes'' was used as the series' ending theme until Season 6. It's often referenced and remixed in other songs throughout the show, such as the song in ''The Bible Game'', the opening titles in ''It's Awesome Baby!'' and ''It's A Bargain Bin Christmas'', the fight scene in ''Anime Games'', a DarkReprise at the end of ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash | The Darker Age of Nintendo'', and the last seven notes of ''Borderline Forever'''s final musical number references the tune as a MusicalNod.

** In 2023, Scott initially intended to [[AvertedTrope avert]] this trope by providing a February/March release window for an episode about the [[UsefulNotes/WiiU Wii U]] (which would be the Season 7 premiere), but the sheer scale of that episode meant that it would be delayed by a few more months, and eventually become a [[https://twitter.com/ScottTheWoz/status/1659944608179138561 three parter.]]

* EditedForSyndication: The airings on Creator/{{G4}} repackage several episodes together into hour-long time slots, so some scenes are cut short and any copyrighted video game music (which makes up most of the background music in the series) is replaced with a more generic track. It also replaces the censor bleeps with longer ones to obscure the curse words better (but, at least a couple times, they took out the bleeps while forgetting to add new ones), and replaces some footage with stock footage[[note]]for example, a stock image taken inside a [=GameStop=] in "Pre-Orders" was replaced with stock footage of someone at a laptop, likely because the former had photos of real people in it[[/note]].

** As shown in the bloopers videos on Scott’s second channel, this is very prominent in the filming of the skits. Scott and his friends don’t rehearse, and Scott simply tells his friends what to say immediately before a shot. So, a lot of time is spent just trying to get through lines or scenes without somebody busting out laughing.

** "Borderline Forever" is simultaneously the 200th episode, and a literal BigDamnMovie, being 58 minutes long (63 with credits) and the longest non-"Nintendo Switch: X Years In" episode at the time[[labelnote:*]]it was passed by the ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' revisit nine episodes later, which was then surpassed by ''It Came from the Nintendo [=eShop=]'', the 2022 Halloween special[[/labelnote]]. Unlike the previous three, it didn't end a season, as Season 4 had ended on "You're Not an RPG Guy".

** Scott revealed in a 2020 Website/{{Reddit}} [=AMA=] that the opening scene of ''Memory Cards'' was supposed to be longer, but due to some of the resulting shots that were filmed either looking bad or having bad audio, Scott chose to repurpose some of their intended dialogue for the desk scenes.

** In his video on ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'', Scott throws down the New 2DS he's playing on in disgust at the game being "f***ing Mario Kart again!" When filming, he threw it down so hard that ''it broke in half'', prompting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW2OyP5TnuY this reaction]] behind the scenes.

** ''The Great Mysteries of Gaming'' was originally supposed to be set on a train, but due to being unable to secure one as a filming location in time Scott decided to scrap the idea. Jeffery Pohlman-Beshuk (who would later play Kay Swiss) was also originally planned to play the murder victim while Cher Shaft would have been one of the dinner guests, but Jeff was unavailable.

** ''VideoGame/ThreeDDotGameHeroes'' saw increased popularity after the music that plays in the Blockout minigame became Scott's outro theme for the first five seasons. The rights holders of the game unfortunately refused to allow Scott to officially license the music for the re-edits of his episodes on G4, which would lead Scott to commission a new theme song for the G4 episodes which he then began to use on [=YouTube=] as well.

** Inverted. Prior to Scott covering them, the latter two games in the ''Dark Age of Nintendo'' saga (''VideoGame/MarioTennis Ultra Smash'' and ''VideoGame/ChibiRobo Zip Lash'') didn't have an overwhelmingly negative perception, usually just "disappointing" or SoOkayItsAverage. His reviews of them cemented the two games as black marks in Nintendo's history and now have a far greater public image. [[note]]''Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival'' is an exception, due to its infamous reveal that Scott covered in detail in his video.[[/note]]

** "Merry Christmas, Data Design!" is simultaneously the 250th episode, the Season 6 finale, and slightly less of a BigDamnMovie compared to "Borderline Forever, but is still lengthy in its own regard.

** In ''Shovelware Variety Hour'', Scott accidentally used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYVrycNl7mA a remix of a track]] which used the theme song from ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack''. Scott decided to keep it in the video because it fits, and even used it again for ''Shovelware Variety Hour: Round Two'' and ''Three''. It made another return in ''Merry Christmas, Data Design!''.
