Commentary - A Very Madden 08 Christmas

[@l_ibiche]

"Target was filmed at Target" The sheer attention to details!

[@dragon1130]

I know. I was certain it was filmed at a Wendy's.

[@GarethColquhoun]

Obvious green screen 😂🤣

[@diet_water5455]

No way, I thought they filmed at Costco

[@kokorikopi]

"To me, you're basically wearing a racial slur on a shirt." "Thank you." is still probably my favorite joke of yours.

[@pokemonmanic3595]

Scott is seriously one of the most genuine KZbinrs out there. No clickbait thumbnails, no sponsor breaks, no mean spirited style drama alerts, no throwing huge piles of money around like confetti. Just a guy, his friends, and Madden 08.

[@8thFurno]

His videos have this kinda DIY feel to them, that has not only inspired me, but countless others.

[@Iazibones]

What about when he was sponsored twice by water companies

[@leeartlee915]

No joke, the lack of sponsorships is one of the main reasons he is at the top of my favorite channels. And even if the day comes where sponsorships come in, we’ve had years without it so credit where credits due.

[@GarethColquhoun]

@@leeartlee915 Why is a Utuber making a bit of extra cash from sponcorships such a big deal? Especially since Utube revenue from AdSense cratered several years ago.. Yes it can be irksome listening to them giving a Raid Shadow Legends spiel, given they probably don't really "play" pay to win games like that. Maybe it could be argued it detracts from their credibility when it's a ropey product, so maybe just take products they themselves use, and can vouch for. In any case it's not necessary to sit through the presentation as it's possible to simply skip past it. I like Scott and would not mind him earning some extra coin this way. It doesn't impact his subscribers negatively in any way should he choose to.

[@leeartlee915]

@@GarethColquhoun Because, well, it’s unnecessary. Scott has never done a sponsorship, ever. And guess what he was able to do last year? Buy a fucking house. So he’s doing just fine. People act like there’s no morals or ethics in the pursuit of making the most money you can. That’s the demented capitalistic mentality of western civilization, America especially. Because ask yourself this question: how much money does someone actually need? If I was able to make content that I loved, that entertained millions, without having to shill for some fucking soulless mobile game company, I would do the same thing. On the other hand, there are some channels I watch where they would NOT be able to continue without sponsorships. There’s a line. And even then, most of these KZbinrs who are modestly successful are making more money than the average American. The field I got into professionally, there were several routes to take. Some of those routes would have made me 3,4, maybe even 5 times more money. But I would not have the same dignity and respect for myself if I decided to go that path. So I have less money in my bank account but I also don’t have to feel shame for where my money comes from. That’s what the issue is.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Thanks to Scott, I went and purchased Madden 08 for the Gamecube at a yardsale despite not owning a Gamecube, never playing a Madden before, or caring about football. Best usage of $1 in my life.

[@jonathanwilson7949]

Now you need to buy all the versions ;)

[@mrnubnub4584]

@@jonathanwilson7949 And make new ones. Madden 08 will become a nation.

[@superplushroompower-up]

​@@mrnubnub4584I'm sorry. Is your profile pic the Gamecube's C-stick?!

[@mrnubnub4584]

@superplushroompower-up Yeah.

[@leeartlee915]

I think I get what Scott’s worry was. The AVGN type style of youtube was seemingly on the way out. Everything had to be a lot more serious in the video game realm. But Scott’s channel (and others like it) prove that videos that focus on the absurdity of the hobby are just as valuable.

[@hugocastilla3102]

This is so true. At the time, this type of videos were rather too formal or a copy of the AVGN style. Neither bad, but already seen. Scott was part of a new wave of content creator who just embraced absurdity with passion. Sounds silly, but it made them refreshing to see

[@SapphireCarbuncle009]

It's so fun going back and seeing some of the guys and in-jokes back then. Wendy's Employee being succeeded by Target Employee was always one of my favorite references, but seeing Jerry be a news reporter before a psychiatrist is crazy to me

[@danieldubrovin8813]

In this year's Halloween special "it came from the nintendo eshop" jerry becomes a news anchor again so it's all full circle

[@TaxeAndStuff]

this being terry's first appearance too, which is just a swap of larry tesler from the internet and you

[@Suderpants327]

Even Scotts oldest videos still seem new and refreshing, shows that Scott The Woz will forever be timeless.

[@jonathangtheguy]

I believe the word you’re looking for is “timeless.”

[@lugnut59]

I love how the only indication of a video’s age is maybe a slight difference in his voice or the house he’s in

[@goatwards]

Absolutely I have watched and rewatched most of scotts videos 2 times now and I’m just gonna keep watching them because they are endlessly funny

[@name_here0]

Probably dosnt help that I forget half of the old ones so I can’t ever remember if I’ve actually seen it but each time is still as funny as the first probably I would remember the episodes if I repaired my roof though

[@jaredreyes23]

Vape shop vlog is iconic

[@SmashMaxLP]

There's just something strangely hilarious about using Madden 08 as an analogy for religion, but god damn it works

[@Nerdtendo6366]

Madden 08 and Madden 09 are just some of those games which I truly have zero real opinion on but still love/hate purely due to this episode

[@TeeGee3]

This is the commentary video I had been waiting for. This is by far my favorite Scott the Woz video and I’ve watched it every Christmas Eve since 2017!

[@BugsyFoga]

Glad we got a commentary on the very first Scott the Woz Christmas special.

[@Sunnii_W]

The amount of effort that went into his first Christmas special is amazing

[@lparry9004]

This is still one of my favourite Scott videos of all time

[@stoic_rose]

i really do love how you can tell this is, and always has been, scott's PASSION. even when he was real young, making videos has always been his thing, with stuff like wozniak news and his school projects. my favorite youtubers are always the ones who make videos because its truly what they love doing, not because its what works, or what gets them money or views. you can tell scott really truly loves and cares about his craft, and has always been a super creative person from the start. THAT is what i love about scott.

[@goatwards]

I feel like Scott really under values how amazing and funny the skits are, like sure they have some flaws but the flaws and the improve in my opinion make them so much funnier

[@liammcgrath7051]

jesus christ it just dawned on my that ive been watching scott the woz for over five years now holy shit. i discovered him in like october of 2017 and have been watching ever since. thats crazy to think about

[@LitLagomorph]

Admittedly I used to dislike the sketch videos, but as time went on and I watched the channel more and more I really started to appreciate them far more. I'm glad you're able to create whatever kind of content you want these days!

[@roderickbawcutt]

I would love to see a commentary on the first Scott The Woz video and see how Scott thinks of one of his first videos

[@CafeCharlie]

Thank you so much man, you're a huge inspiration! I never would have tried doing KZbin if it weren't for you, and now I enjoy it more than anything else. I really appreciate these commentaries, it's cool to get an insight on the process, they really help me get motivated, thank you!

[@Bransbow]

Personally the skit episodes are my favorites.

[@leeartlee915]

That’s awesome. I’m definitely on the other side of the equation. Having said that, I totally get why the skits are there and clearly some people really enjoy them.

[@Louie_Log]

Christmas Commentary. Honestly what I needed tonight. Thanks Scott.

[@scitt1298]

Madden 08 is the most Madden of all the Maddens that ever Madden’d.

[@NoahClevinger]

It’s so cool to hear all of the behind the scenes stuff and what your thought process was in making these special episodes!

[@THE-CRT]

I love commentary, especially when I commentate myself

[@vcoottworld_mexicangaming96]

2 Scott the Woz videos in 1 week, talk about a great deal! Especially the Commentary of the Madden 08 Christmas Special.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Beautiful!

[@8thFurno]

A Christmas classic!

[@LumbyMcGumby]

My brother's favorite madden games were 07 and 08 so that video really hit home for me. What a masterpiece

[@farmingsim9813]

I fondly remember watching this episode new in 2017 in my computer class in high school and loving it. It still has such a charm going back and rewatching it too. Keep up the great work as always Scott! Been watching since 2017 and you're definitely the best KZbinr on the platform.

[@Kenzie-Soup.n.Squash]

I’ve been watching for years but this is still one of my favorites because of how corny it is, along with personal trainer cooking since that game is close to my heart. No reason for any of it but I loved it so much I bought it twice, happy thanksgiving man and good luck on the charity bonanza 😄

[@bamsaidcam9273]

[@kraxonkooper]

I love the skits. I didn’t when i started watching Scott The Woz, but now I enjoy the skits and the outtakes so so much! I hope all of you guys keep having fun and making videos together!

[@Handenjoyer]

Can’t believe this man has been around for 7 years

[@marvelstarwarsfan8410]

I remeber seeing this episode,I thought It was good,but looking back on it now,it feels smaller than the current Christmas specials.

[@SkyfoxDartner]

The lord is thickening, we can now confirm, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Scott has a father.

[@tippedjoshua6802]

I had no idea it was an analogy for religion even with rewatching it a few times, and now I can really see it

[@revenile]

What makes your videos so entertaining to me is how obvious you and your friends are having fun making these videos. Your skits are legitimately funny (the dark age of Nintendo therapy stuff was a personal favorite of mine). And I agree, I really liked Madden 08.

[@leeartlee915]

I agree…. but something I can’t help but be curious about is if he compensates his friends for these videos. I mean obviously he buys pizza and makes it fun but with his channel approaching 2 million subs, there is some serious money coming in. Big enough that a kid at 24 was able to buy a house. I’m almost twice his age and I can’t afford to buy a house, hahaha.

[@squadalaguydc]

I'm surprised the commentary lasts longer than the special

[@_puduposting]

Woah that was a cool piece of trivia I never expected scott to talk a bit about the new outro origins in this commentary I thought he was going to save it for the Barre Blast commentary

[@shalamung_bung3035]

I feel like for next year’s charity event Scott should compile all 50 of his childhood magazines he made and release them in some sort of way

[@Robynbanks396]

edited. (on the video flipping through some magazines theres about 70). as he had some real people's names and he doesnt want to track down some person he mentioned in a issue in like 5th grade and go "hey is it cool if i put you in a reselling of those old magazines i used to make? you where in one..". at least its what he said

I was wondering how you pulled off the Target scene.Did you have to ask the employee/their manager if it was okay to use them as an actor for that quick scene, or did you pull somebody to ask them to say these lines quickly before they'd get in trouble or start a distraction, or was it an actor in a target uniform?

[@oddyquinn]

Actor in a uniform. That's Dominic Mattero (one of Scott's friends) as Wendy's Employee. As you might guess from the name, he's wearing a Wendy's uniform, not a Target uniform.
