History YMMV / ScottTheWoz

** PORN[[labelnote:Explanation]]A shot from "Rated E for Irrelevant" showing Scott leaning against a monitor displaying this word in a gigantic typeface when mentioning how part of the [[UsefulNotes/AdultsOnlyRatingESRB Adults Only rating]]'s stigma comes from the fact that most titles given it are porn games. The contrast between Scott's body language and the monitor's contents made the shot a popular reaction image online, usually posted in response to NSFW art or mentions of/allusions to such.[[/labelnote]]

** In "Cancelled Games", Scott brings up a cancelled ''Metroid'' game for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS DS]] called ''VideoGame/MetroidDread''. In the E3 2021 Nintendo Direct, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vk3Anng-YA the game was officially unveiled]]. For extra irony, a mock-up of the then non-existent game’s box was prominently featured in the video's thumbnail.

* ItWasHisSled: It is incredibly common knowledge that [[spoiler:Steel Wool was the killer of Chet and the others in "The Greatest Mysteries of Gaming"]], becoming frequently referred to in later videos.

** [[https://youtu.be/kK3jxBO2AnE?si=E74aK2W6WB7qy07l The clip]] of Scott getting hit in the face with a frying pan (from his UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy video) has been subjected to numerous edits and variations online.

** "The Next Best Thing" from "Have a Bootleg Gaming Christmas", a song about the "benefits" of buying bootleg video games, complete with help from The 8-Bit Big Band (best known for their Grammy award-winning cover of "Meta Knight's Revenge" from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'')

* AntiClimaxBoss: PlayedForLaughs with [[spoiler: the Anti-Gex]] in ''Chibi Robo: Zip Lash,'' which just pathetically explodes after Scott [[spoiler: shoves a copy of ''VideoGame/GexEnterTheGecko'' into it.]]

** In “The Gifts of Gaming”, the “Big Scott Comfort Scene” can come off as cheesy, yet genuinely touching. Despite the low production value of the series, and it normally focusing on comedy above all else. It helps that the scene is highly relatable, making it easy to sympathize with Scott. Being overwhelmed by the feeling that his friends don’t care about him, and only show up because they get tangled up in his antics, getting to him to badly that he runs off to his room to cry. And when Jerry and Target Employee come in to comfort him, while the acting could use work, it can still come off as genuinely heartwarming. Especially when Jerry admits that he wasn’t working, and really did want to spend the holidays with everyone there. Not just showing up to help because he’s paid to help Scott as his therapist.

** After [[spoiler: Wendy's Employee]] dies in ''Memory Cards'', he has a [[NightmareFace creepy wide smile]] on his face, which stays on for the rest of the episode whenever his corpse appears onscreen.

** "Hey all, Scott here, and this is bad! Real bad!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The opening of Scott's first [=WiiWare=] Chronicles episode has Scott running for his life while saying this line. The footage of Scott is frequently imposed on other backgrounds to make it look like he's running away from something else.[[/labelnote]]

* NarmCharm: Although Scott isn't a ''fantastic'' singer, he's often spirited enough when he does break out into song that the viewer can't help but get swept up in the number. It helps that his vocal chops have improved a great deal from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSKab9tbYM4 "The Bible Game Gospel"]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k4W2m1cIzk "Closing In"]].

** The [[https://youtu.be/s2HZ6RYwwXQ tune]] that plays at the end of the VideoGame/DonkeyKongBarrelBlast video. What is especially cool is that, it starts with the Breakout {{Leitmotif}} before fading into Break In’s Leitmotif. Keep in mind, this was the first episode with Break In as the new outro theme, and this track is essentially the last time the Break Out leitmotif is ever heard in the series, acting as a nice final send-off before fading into the new main theme.

** ''Battleborn'' being the anti-gift in "It's a Bargain Bin Christmas" was funny enough, but now that the servers have shut down and rendered the game completely unplayable, the reaction Scott's friends have to it is all the more justified and even funnier now, as it now comes off as a flat out UndesirablePrize.

** "Creator/SquareEnix fans! Does this ever happen to you?" ''[[BoomHeadshot (BAM!)]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Scott's sympathy for fans of Square Enix after getting snubbed on the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy Pixel Remasters'' has been used in response to Square Enix botching any other project, including the ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' remaster, or by fans of other video game companies who have been similarly snubbed repeatedly.[[/labelnote]]

** "Opening / How to Talk About Video Games", which opens ''Borderline Forever''. It is a 5 minute long medley/cover of "Breakout" in the style of various video games throughout history, such as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'', ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''. At 3:16, it even quotes the theme from ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', paying homage to the TropeCodifier of game-centric [[MidReviewSketchShow Mid-Review Sketch Shows]].

** "Just Buy The Games", a CharityMotivationSong parody about buying games that transitions into a song about how failure is a part of life, is where Scott's singing ability has substantially improved.

* CreatorWorship: Due to his peppy demeanor and memetic style of humor, Scott is one of the most beloved gaming Youtubers to come out of the late [=2010s=], treated as the modern answer to WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd. Every time another similar Youtuber gets into controversy, it's practically a meme for fans to use the opportunity to boast about Scott due to his relatively clean record. As a result, it's very difficult to publicly express any dislike for him.
