Hey all, Scott's Fridge section on TV Tropes moments here!
Fridge Brilliance
- At the end of Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash | The Darkest Age of Nintendo Jeb Jab (the group's Gex fanboy) doesn't recognize that the game the group is playing is Gex. While the obvious joke is that he never actually knew what Gex was, it's also possible he's never seen Gex: Enter the Gecko which Scott is playing and its boxart had been consistently been shown through The Dark Age of Nintendo trilogy. And they've been consistently been calling Gex: Enter the Gecko simply Gex, which is the name of the first game.
- Wendy's Employee has a brother named Target Employee. Target was where Scott first met Wendy's Employee way back in A Very Madden 08 Christmas.
- In fact, that gives Wendy's Employee a great reason to be at Target: he was probably there to visit his brother for the holidays.
- In You're Not an RPG Guy: A Scott the Woz Christmas, Terry actually undergoes a mini character arc of his own. He starts as one of Scott's many friends that try to force him into liking RPG's, even though Scott clearly doesn't like them. Later, as Target Employee demands that they have ribs for dinner, in spite of Terry's veganism, the latter shouts out "My God, is this how we sounded to him?!" At the very end, he is seen as the last one to leave as they watch Scott reaffirm his dislike towards RPG's, smiling and nodding while the others seem entirely disappointed. The difference between Terry and the rest is that through his experience with Target Employee, he also learned what it was like to have someone try to force him into liking something he is firmly against, so he learned to empathize with Scott's position and be happy that he held onto his own values.
- Although the border in the multiplayer Wii U Mario games is what truly keys Scott into the border's existence, the games he's discussing released on the Wii U (the console shuffled to the end of his retrospective), a console whose games all have blue cases, and thus are all encased in a blue border themselves.
- Scott declaring himself God in "Toys to Life Games" is based on the logic of "God is immortal, and I've never died". Sounds like typical Scott logic... except it actually makes a bit of sense by the bizarre rules of the series' world, where death, especially via murder, is a common, non-serious and recoverable ailment that people treat more like an inconvenience than anything. It's the equivalent of a person who's never been sick in their life.
- In Borderline Forever, Scott claims that since the alphabet isn't copyrighted, plagarism is a myth. This sounds insane, but since Game Titles revealed that his great uncle Ed invented letters, he would have had the opportunity to copyright them, and he didn't!
- Wendy's Employee is, so far, the only character to ever be Killed Off for Real (even Steel Wool and Chet Shaft were revived, though it took over a year for it to stick). This sounds like an odd inconsistency, but then you remember what did him in: a possessed memory card getting him in the knee. It seems like supernatural forces are the only things capable of permanently killing people in this world.
- In Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival | The Dark Age of Nintendo, Scott is confused by the concept of Jerry Attricks going to therapy when he's a therapist himself, with Jerry awkwardly admitting that he goes to therapy at "the mirror". While this is likely just a mistake (real therapists have support networks to help handle the struggles that come with having a job where people talk about horrible, traumatizing life events), later episodes would firmly establish that Jerry isn't actually a licensed therapist at all - of course he wouldn't know how actual therapists work!
Fridge Horror
- In The Trial, Officer Steel Wool receives the death penalty after confessing to killing Chet Shaft and murdering Scott's other friends, which in this universe is considered getting off easy! What are the heavier sentences supposed to be like?
- Given Death Is Cheap, as well as the strange sense of law shown in the video, it's probably something truly heinous, like having your copy of Wii Play repossessed, or being forced to play Madden '09.
