Continuity and Call-Backs in Scott The Woz

You know what I like about Scott The Woz? Consistency.
I can’t put every running joke in a single video (I already made a video of all the Zip Lash jokes alone that was 5 and a half minutes), but these are just most of the instances of continuity I could find.
Also there was an instance of Red Hoodie Young Scott in Console Launches - Scott The Woz. I didn’t realize until later, curses.

[@made.by_noah]

Fun fact, Scott saying “Hey all, Scott here” is a reference to the previous episode where he said the same thing

[@prodtheontar]

A couple things you forgot: -Scott mentions that he works and evades taxes while showing off his computer desk in The Game Room -A shot of Zip Lash in the toilet was shown briefly in Club Nintendo

[@WDonaldson2000]

And also, Scott threw Zip Lash in the toilet in Borderline Forever and a few times in the Zip Lash episode.

[@BubblegumSempai]

And of course the reason why he doesn't pay his taxes was in the "Let's Make A Smash Game" episode, where it was revealed the IRS doesn't get them because there's a woodchipper next to the mailbox and he accidentally shredded them.

[@HarmonicaPresents]

And the time he got robbed of all his games, he was disappointed to still find Ziplash in the toilet, unrobbed

[@bobbyonkazoo3512]

Notable omission: “Elf Sh*t” It’s used to describe Breath of the Wild’s PAL box art in “The Art of Box Art” And one of the reasons Scott doesn’t like RPGs in “You’re Not An RPG Guy”

[@Kururuko]

One of my favorites was when he talked about Call of Duty for the Wii and DS. On the Wii video, he said "the multiplayer servers are still online if you're looking for something to do next weekend" when mentionion Black Ops's multiplayer. Then, on the DS video, he mentioned that World at War's online doesn't work anymore, and he said the line "Well my weekend's f*cked." It's just the small details like that that make me appreciate him so much.

One of my favorites is in Shovelware Veriety Hour, Scott accidently used a rip of the Ninjabread Man theme that had Nutshack playing in the background.

[@rs_kira5710]

"Anthony Danger Padilla, will you marry me?"

[@LiilYogurt]

that's what I love about Scott, a lot of his stuff feels like old youtube, he's still got that non corporate charm. He's specifically stated he will never take a sponsorship (which I'm not against people doing, it's a job at the end of the day, but for Scott it makes sense) because he doesn't want anything to change how he makes his videos. Which is great because a lot of channels like him (Smosh is one) ended up falling into that trap, they got big, they got sponsorship deals and companies offering to buy them, accepted because the money looked good, and then the company completely changed how they worked (the reason Anthony left Smosh)
