WazzoTV is an animator and one of the best known users on Scratch. Since 2011, he produces and releases comedic Stick Figure Animations, using his Signature Style of figures with a head as a circle, rectangle as a body, and stick limbs, and a slew of Screaming at Squick and The Ditz characters.
However, in the late 2010s, project production slowed down to a sloth's speed, mainly due to Real Life. There were no new animations since late 2016, and unfortunately, in early 2017, all of his projects were unshared. Fortunately, somewhere in June 2017, most of his projects were restored and in late 2017, he returned back from hiatus.
WazzoTV's projects can be viewed on his Scratch profile.
