"For a kid on a 20 dollar a week allowance" .... Suddenly Scott's insanely free and easy stance towards spending exorbitant amounts of money on landfill makes a lot of sense

"$20 allowance." Well that explains the four Wii U's.

The fact that Scott considers a $20 a week allowance a tight budget as a child is amazing to me. The only thing I ever got when I asked for an allowance was the threat of an ass-whoopin.

Man, 20 dollars per week? You could buy 52 chicken shoots per year with that kind of money.

$20 a week allowance? Young Scott was really living it up

I vividly remember the shelves of my local five below toppling from the weight of unsold Skylanders a few years back.

$20 a week allowance?! All I got was $1 for lunch in middle school and a “good luck!” Little Scott was living like a king!

The first line, “what do you do when you wanna play games but you’re on a budget?… find a new hobby” pretty much sums up the game industry lmao

"I live in Ohio, your hobby was either that or getting shot." As an Ohioan, this is not true at all. You can also get diseases in the corn fields.

"$20 a week allowance" what the fuck, I didn't realize Scott's parents were loaded.

Scott introducing the concept of Mighty Number 9 being a kid's only game for an extended period of time haunts me to this day

I worked at a Pathmark from 2011-2014. At some point we landed a Gamecube copy of The Urbz and nobody ever bought it, I think it somehow got in with an order of crappy DVDs we sold in one aisle. It even got marked down over 50% off and still nobody bought it. It was like 2013 and we were trying to sell one single Gamecube game. The Wii U was brand new by then.

The most shocking revelation here was finding out Scott had a 20 dollar a week allowance like damn little 5th grader walk-in around with mad cash

"whatever Walmart doesn't eat five below will clean its plate" This video is gold

This is exactly how I felt going into a Poundland here in the UK. "Everything's £1 or less!!" I spent £3.50 on the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs DVD collection, and haven't been able to live it down ever since...

“One of my favorite pastimes as a kid was to go to the dollar store, I live in Ohio your hobby’s that or getting shot” As an Ohioan I feel this on a personal level

Scott is that guy who’ll go into a dollar store & ask the employee what the Black Friday deals are.

"We know that cause I'll be dead in three years" Judging from how dedicated Scott is to jokes I'd start making my peace

Snot the Woz dies this year….

Obviously that condom advertising was research based, seeing as wearing ninja turtle underwear will in turn get you into a situation where condoms could be used

100% with Scott on the dollar store experience, as a young child picking things out with a very limited amount of money was fun.

“I live in Ohio, your hobby is either that or getting shot” - Scott The coming to G4TV Woz

Scott really encapsulated what it was like when going to a store with video games was a luxury, as I kid I really only went to GameStop if my parents needed to get the vacuum repaired next door, so I grew very attached to whatever gaming scraps the grocery store sold

I legit watch Scott's vids because no matter how bad I'm feeling, the dude always makes me laugh.

Scott: I had a $20 a week allowance My friend: I had a $10 a week allowance Me: You guys had allowances

I remember my local Five Below being stocked with Infinite Warfare for $5, when Gamestop was buying used ones for $10, I bought $55 + tax worth and got back around $110

My craziest dollar store find was a full Guitar Hero Live box set (with game and guitar included) being sold for 4 dollars.

5:08 I don’t know why, but the tone of Scott’s voice when he says “hunny” matches that or an exhausted mom.

I remember seeing a copy of Mario kart Wii on a dollar three once, I may never find that golden goose again.

$20 a week?! I can’t even imagine. That sounds like paradise.

When I was a kid I was at a thrift store and I found Nicktoons Unite for the GameCube for a dollar. I got hours of playtime out of it. Good times

Honestly that Sega with 80 games and being able to play games you buy for 30 bucks is a good deal.

1:22 Scott really is dedicated to these videos, he drove all the way back to a Five Below on a legit deserted island and re-stranded himself just to record a small bit of footage

'20 dollars a week allowance' Imagine having an allowance in the first place.

As someone who loves in Indiana the dollar store trifecta was accurate. My children always beg to go to dollar tree. They always know they'll wiggle something out of me. Usually fidgets

I used to work at a Five Below. The only video game we would ever have in stock was Battleborn. There was never a moment where that one spot on the shelf in the tech section didn't have a copy of Battleborn on it

Guy stocking the rite aid: “this crap will never sell” Scott: enters the rite aid

Can't wait to buy the officially licensed Scot the Woz Monopoly™ from my local Dollar General!

I remember getting a bunch of UMD discs for PSP at the Dollar (and a quarter) Tree several years ago. Bought them all. They are still in my storage unit.

For Christmas a few years back I got the Sega Genesis plug n play as a present from my dad, it's still one of my most beloved Christmas presents to date. That Christmas my dad, my sister's and I all sat in my room playing Sonic and Mortal Kombat. No Christmas yet has topped that one

My local dollar general still has a copy of Thor for the DS selling for $20. They keep it behind the cash register.

Can we talk about how at 5:40 he's putting down a jug of milk for just a moment? I appreciate Scott's dedication so much.

As an Ex-Dollar General employee, I'd like to say DG is not a dollar store, and it drives us crazy when you call it that. 😆 It USED to be one when they first opened, but as it grew and started popping up everywhere it phased out of that. Now there's just a dollar aisle.

0:57 "Many times these stores would have mediocre and forgotten DVDs" *shows return of the king in the corner sacrilege

Looks like Scott has Dollar Store lighting for this video

I remember finding Kirby's Epic Yarn for $15 at a Big Lots once and I've never had the same amount of dopamine again.

In Germany in many shops we have something called "Grabbelkisten", boxes with cheap things in them. Most in electronic stores you can get movies, music, games and other thing for just 1 to 5 Euros. There is also the "Software Pyramide" and "Green Pepper" which did just cheaper rereleases of some older games.

for anyone wondering the song Scott is playing at 10:41 is called "salvation" by rancid with Johnny Napalm at the Rat Cellar on easy difficulty

The last bit was GOLD. “I spent $105 on these games at Rite Aid and found them all on eBay for $46.” Classic.

Dollar Tree used to sell Wii accessories. Wiimotes wouldn’t even fit in some of them 🙃

1:54 I literally saw this last week at the thrift store and took a picture.

1:19 that's what I yelled after a fake robot replaced the Arby's manager of my local Arby's

I remember back in 2016 my local Five Below had a ton of Metal Gear Rising PS3 copies. I had never played a metal gear game before and was like “wtf isn’t this game supposed to be good? Why is it here?” I just assumed it was a spinoff fans didn’t like that ended up making its way to the bargain bin. I bought it for shits and giggles and oh my god it was INSANE. Genuinely has been in my top 10 ever since. Hands down best $5 I’ve ever spent.

I like how this came out after Dollar Tree announced they're starting to sell stuff for $1.25 starting next month

8:19 It's precious that 50 is old to Scott.

As a kid and now, the dollar store keeps being my weekend favorite stop.

I have worked at 2 separate Rite Aids a few years back, and both had Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for DS. I think they just come with the store at this point.

When he brought up that dollar tree raised their prices to $1.25, I felt that

this video brings me back to when my local grocery store used to have a section where they would sell comics and magazines of all sorts (used to look at the game informer ones since they werent pre packaged) and they used to sell new DVD's and video games back around 2006ish. They didnt have a lot of games there and they were always behind a locked case but that was were I bought my first game with my own money being Mario Kart DS and I'm so grateful they sold it there because like Scott mentions in this video going to a gamestop was a luxury back then kinda like going to a toy's r us; still one of my favorite games to this day

Till this day I still hit up the dollar store before going to the movie theater.

I wonder if anyone recognizes Scott while he’s recording the shelves at the dollar store

I've worked at dollar tree and I can personally vouche that everything he pulled from the bag is something I've stocked there

‘For an angry birds game, *THEY’RE FREE!* ’ Me: **muffled weeping**

I bought Civ III at Five Below in maybe 2004! Could have even been 2005, but I'm pretty sure Civ IV came out after. That was a genuinely good deal, and that series has brought me nearly 2 decades of value since.

11:33 As a Yo-Kai Watch fan myself, Scott saying "Yo-Kai Watch" will happily live in my head forever

$20 a week allowance… well, now we know. Scott was a rich kid.

I love those retro plug in system. Something is relaxing about playing old video games

Last year I bought a used copy of Wii Sports at my local library for $2. I thought that was amazing.

I worked for Atari/Infogrames during the end of their time in the US, doing customer tech support for the shovelware they were supporting at the time. Almost every caller had bought their game at the grocery store and I had to walk them through running the games in compatibility mode because they were so grievously old. Our leads also had us walk completely computer-illiterate people through editing their registry file too, which was terrifying.

My local Family Dollar had Bloodborne for $5 and I was baffled that such an amazing game was there to begin with and at such a low price, obviously I capitalized on this opportunity and bought that game without a second thought. How this Family Dollar got its hands on it is still a mystery to me.

My best dollar store find as a kid were the Angry Birds equivalent of Nintendo's amiibos for their mobile games! I believe they were called telepods... they were AWESOME. I also got some at the dollar store that were for the angry birds/transformsers crossover game. The telepods themselves could transform from car to bird!

Honestly, fore some of the Genesis games, I'd argue that pitching it up made it better. (Looking at you, The Ooze)

Scott saying the words “Bakugan: Battle Brawlers” enlightens me in some way lol

5:35 i dont know why but him buying the milk made me laugh the hardest

Scott is like the Mr beast of Ohio. Stimulating his towns economy with 100 bucks per store

As a born and raised Ohioan, Scott the Woz always makes my childhood feel validated

When you realize Scott will make back every dollar he spent on these games in like a week. Props dude

Seeing Scott even MENTIONING Yo-kai watch is a dream come true

Scott always puts a smile on my face when I'm having a bad day. Thanks man

"Find a new hobby." I was taking a sip of coffee at the time. Damn you! 😆

The Dollar Store console: The Christmas present no child wanted

Scott literally never misses, every video just keeps getting better

When I was little, my dad randomly bought for me and my sister The Dog Island on PS2 at a 7/11. And I do think it is genuinely a very fun kids game and I really enjoyed it :)

I absolutely died of laughter at “That’s why people love Adderall!”

_"What do you do when you wanna play games but you're on a budget?!"_ The Pirate Bay, of course.

I grabbed the Sega Genesis handheld and loved that thing. It had an SD card slot so you could add more roms to it. It was awesome.

Seeing Titanfall 2 as he talked about dollar store games tore my heart in two. It deserved so much better.

5:37 when Scott talks about milk and cuts back to him with a gallon of milk, that gives the exact energy every episode of Xavier Renegade Angel has

Finally, a fellow dollar store dweller, this is an underappreciated art

At 9:39 when you said "Gamer Gear", I got a "Trainline" advert of a guy tipping a tub of money into a toilet saying "I just love wasting money!" I feel like that couldn't have been more appropriate.

This was my very first Scott the Woz video! Haha! So awesome to come back when I'm a huge fan! Still SO good, Scott! Love it!

There’s just a vibe in a dollar store that I just can’t explain like both comforting and sad

A little over half a year ago, I came across a bunch of 3DS/Wii U accessories at my Dollar Tree here in California. I was able to snag a New 3DS XL carrying case with slots for the cartridges, a few silicone Wii U Gamepad covers, Zelda themed styluses and two full-on Wii Remotes. I walked out of the store only paying a little under $10.00 It felt like an actual dream, it was so surreal.

7:50 AtGames released a newer version at some point that resembles an actual Sega Genesis, has Bluetooth controllers, and uses HDMI, and it's honestly worth the $50 my parents got it for. The only issue I've seen from it is how the "Sega!" yell at the start of Sonic 1 and 2 sounds off but otherwise everything looks, runs, and sounds fine.

I WORKED at RITE AID when they started to carry video games. And I can tell you the worst part about it. They would run sales on those games and advertise it in the flyer, and every time we would have these old ladies calling up and coming in, asking if we had new, popular games that just came out. Which of course we didn't. And sometimes the picture in the flyer would be a popular game, and I'd get "According to your ad, you carry Mario Kart, it's right here in the ad, and I'm not leaving until I get it!" Then they wanted us to check the back, then check other stores which we had no way of doing. Then complain about false advertising, how far they traveled, etc. It was a headache.

Man I remember my old locally owned dollar store had Call of Duty: Ghosts on ps3 for $59.99 In 2019.

❗️My Timestamps: 5:36 "Look at the price of that milk." *Scott puts milk down* 😂

Twenty. Dollar. A. Week. Allowance. WHAT?!

My favorite Dollar Store game was getting the steak and finding out if I survive the night

I appreciate that you take a financial hit for our entertainment Scott. Honestly. Lol. I spent years pining over this sealed copy of XIII for ps2 at a local rite aide and eventually purchased it at like 20 dollars knowing I could get it cheaper online. It had just been sitting there so long and was such a good game I felt I would be doing it a disservice leaving it to rot there on the shelf lol
