Oh hey look it’s Scott’s second channel just dropping the link to stream the song okay have a great day 😊 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/scottcramer/wii-fit

I don't know why it made me chuckle so hard, but the delivery of " I am not going to weigh 158lbs, I have a family to protect" really really got me.

I'm not blaming wii fit for giving me an eating disorder as a middle schooler, but it sure helped reinforce it

Scott: I can't believe it thinks i'm 37! Also Scott: throws out his neck playing Wii Fit.

Seeing his son go from crawling to walking in this video was so crazy 🥺

You make it sound so believable that the wii fit balance board probably gave hundreds of people eating disorders

our wii fit would tell every single person in our family that our hypothetical ‘age’ was ~20 years older and we would have to watch our miis do that elderly animation where they hunch over lol. this game was so passive aggressive for no reason

It’s like watching one man’s descent into madness. Or, ski jump into madness.

Jadyn is the real MVP for listening to Scott’s Wii Fit venting for 100 days

The Wii board going "oof!" when I stepped on it still haunts my dreams. You're a trooper!

you might not have played the game all 100 days but it sure as hell played you

As a kid who grew up chubby, the Wii fit balance board TERRORIZED me. I still carry that mental burden with me today 😂

31:49 dude this line holy hell yes. The gaslighting yourself into thinking you were overreacting by having a negative experience when people were being incredibly toxic towards you is so freaking real. Yes it's important to self reflect because there are some instances where you are at fault or simply not handing things well, but there are also times when you are mistreated. Recognizing both is important. Recognizing your feelings and where they're stemming from is important. Recognizing if those feelings are ones that deserve your focus and energy or if they're ones to feel then let pass is critical. I'm just dumping my thoughts into the ether at this point but yeah. Trust yourself but don't forget to listen to reason and the perspective of others without discrediting your own experience.

I have to say, contacting the guy who made a similar video was such a brilliant addition to the video and I genuinely hope it's a trend we see more of in the future. Not just on your channel but across yt. Collaborating and building on each other, instead of competing or racing against each other.

it’s actually genuinely insightful watching this game create anxiety around exercise & food even in a Fully Grown Man, given that this game was marketed to families (i remember playing it as a kid & i did end up developing an eating disorder i’m still working through) i can’t imagine the kind of impact this had on a lot of kids D:

I absolutely love the fact that Scott’s videos are just him chilling at home with Jayden and his son. It’s so homey.

“too busy to work out today, eh scott?” absolutely destroyed me, why is he so passive aggressive 💀💀💀💀

Scott is the only KZfaqr I know to record a gaming video and not record the console screen with a capture card and just point his phone camera at the screen

Scott's child copying his movements is exactly what I needed today. Thank you, Scott. This video slaps. Edit: The song slaps even harder, was not expecting it, and it has such a good rhythm.

Scott going through this terrible experience and then making an absolute banger of a song is really what it's all about

If a game EVER asked me, "Did a little baby trip you up, during that one?" I would genuinely be so terrified. Also a meditating seated sonic becoming so minorly scared by the Wii Fit Meditation game = so choice

I remember having this. I was underweight so it shows my Mii's arms flutter in the wind. My husband got morbidly obese and it fell like a giant rock behind him. He was so angry. He played a bit for a month here and there and the Wii kept saying he wasn't loosing any weight. I would play a bit more and after a while the Wii Fit would ask where he was. It didn't ask about the other two people it deemed average (two friends who tried it). It kept asking about him.

id say ringfit is a much less stressful experience and i always feel like i get a good sweat out of it. It doesnt weigh you or berate you, just lets you battle monsters and encourages you to keep going

Honestly as someone who very recently started trying to take my health more seriously and get active again, I needed this video so badly. Even though it's only been about a week since I started, I've already struggled with feeling guilty over days where I don't exercise or eat things that I "shouldn't." It's so easy to lose sight of what fitness should be about (a positive life change and a celebration of what your body can do) and fall into a trap of shame. Going forward, I'm genuinely going to keep this video in the back of my mind and remember that my personal fitness is about making myself feel good.

Did anyone else notice scotts kid was always crawing in the early clips, then was walking in the later ones 🥺 so cute

I always forget that regular wii fit doesn't have the workout sessions, because I had wii fit plus. on wii fit plus, there were yoga and strength sessions, as well as the option to create a blend of all the games on wii fit based on the goals you had for yourself. you could even set a time limit you wanted to workout for and everything

Not me realizing that wii fit is the origin of why I feel so much shame about my weight, thank you scott for shedding light on how simple it can be to develop feelings of guilt surrounding weight or even an eating disorder. Unironically cried while watching this.

I’d genuinely recommend a video like this for Ring Fit Adventure. I played it every day for like 200+ days back in 2020 and it really changed my life for the better. I got a lot of decent cardio and even some basic strength training while I was locked inside, and I’d love to see others cover it!

"master bait" was fantastic

I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience. I know if it was me this would've shattered my self-esteem. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all the same.

Man, this makes me really want to see you have a go at 100 days of ring fit, that game is so much more supportive and fun to play! Would be curious to see the comparison

2 years ago I did do wii fit every day and I set up a rotine that was 30 mins alternating yoga and strength exercise. It was great cause otherwise I would just spend those 30 minutes sitting at my computer, but I always played with it muted and skipped through whatever the board had to say because it was useless. I already knew that BMI is trash but when the board told me I lost 15 lbs in a day it was all I needed to know that I couldn't believe a thing it told me.

Scott vs The Balance Board is my new favourite rivalry

Wii Fit was really out here gaslighting us about our fitness.. as an insecure child I played this a lot thinking it would actually do something for me, but the way it sutbly insult you all the time didn't help, surprisingly.. 27 now and playing Ring Fit regularly and, oh man, they really really improved the workout experience since the Wii Fit days

Scott knocking over his son’s toy and then his son sabotaging him is peak comedy

This video convinced me to eat dinner and ended with me dancing with a bologna sandwich in hand thanks scott

as a kid i LOVED this game and played it every single day. i was a MENACE and my favorite was running because sometimes puppies would join you on your run

The ring-based fitness game (I forget the title) that came out during the pandemic was a much more positive experience than this seems to have been. I played that so much that I actually messed up my ankles and had to stop. I loved running through all of the crazy landscapes, and I just about lost my crap when I got access to the archery. It wasn't even about fitness pretty quickly, it was just about getting to pretend I was running around outside and shooting monsters with a bow. It did get judgy if you didn't play for a while, but I only know that because my husband wasn't as into it as I was. Anyway, so you should do that one for 100 days.

This is honestly an oddly good depiction of eating/weight disorders and how they may start. Glad you didn't suffer too much mental shit c:

I played wii fit for like 3 weeks about 12 years ago, with only one result. I proved to myself that I had about 40 minutes a day that I could spend lifting heavy things or walking to get real results.

The ending song and MV was so well crafted. Did you write that by yourself? Cuz the lyrics and melody plus harmonies were both top freakin notch. This is a genuinely good pop song. Better than most on the radio rn.

The snarky balance board actually says a lot about how we often try to lose wait out of fear of being shamed by others. If anything, credit to the device for mimicking real life.

My surface-level memories of Wii Fit are fun, but I think a lot of my body image issues today stem from this game. As a teenager, I always hovered around the upper end of “normal” BMI-wise, so the first time it told me I was overweight (and played that awful tuba sound that mocks you) I was shattered. I felt like a worthless, disgusting failure and instead of being motivated to work out, I just started eating the bare minimum all the time. My mom sat me down and explained how BMI doesn’t take into account weight distribution, so there was an important difference between my weight spread over a stick figure like the Mii and my own body (with muscular thighs, a D cup, and height stunted by anti-anxiety meds they put me on at 11). I’m almost 30 now and unfortunately still picture this game in my head when I weigh myself, hearing that tuba sound laughing at me. Even with a better understanding of weight and metabolism, I still have a horribly strong tie between my weight and my self-worth. 😔

It's actually really interesting seeing the perspective of someone of an average body weight play the game. I remember I picked up Wii Fit both as a bit of nostalgia and to encourage myself to start healthier habits when I was underweight, with the goal to *gain* weight. I remember the game being a lot more gentle towards me than seen here. Don't get me wrong, it did have its snark and I got called lazy a good share of times, but I never felt like it outright shamed me for it. I knew the game wasn't doing much for me for fitness in the direct sense, but I kept on picking up the game because it encouraged me to push a little further and gave me a fun way to keep track of my progress. While I slowly started to fade off of the game as I gained weight, I had a pretty positive experience with it. It's really unfortunate that it takes a complete 180 whenever someone is trying to lose weight and really goes to show the standards we have set. We perceive being "overweight" as not only unhealthy, but as a moral wrongdoing. You mentioned how the game is unable to account for outside circumstances like slipping up or a baby walking on the balance board, but it always just blames the player for whatever happened. Health is measured on an arbitrary BMI scale and shames you for not fitting neatly onto the scale. It especially sucks because as I mentioned, I positively benefit from the game in my attempts to gain weight, and they know how to use positive reinforcement for underweight people (at least from my admittedly faulty memory). So why does that have to change for people "overweight?"

Gotta appreciate how dedicated Scott is to still make this video that was clearly difficult emotionally

Scott turning into a gaming channel is exactly what i needed in 2024

This video should be titled “Encouraging any disordered eating habits i may have for 100 days” I hope this video helps remind people that wii fit can be more hurtful than helpful. Glad you made it through and that you wont have to subject yourself to it on the daily anymore!

"it's master bait" just walked yourself right into that one, huh?

This is why I prefer RingFit. Actual exercises, cute artstyle, and NO BODYSHAMING. Good game that actually motivates you to work out

As someone with a history of eating disorders (maybe influenced by having wii fit as too young of a child, who knows) this video did such a great job at poking fun of stuff like this without becoming triggering, thank you for that!!

I would unironically watch a video where you chronicle your process making a song with Wii Music

actually really appreciated this video, because it points out how mechanical 100-day/year-long daily challenges really feel when you try to do them. lots of us (me included) are simply are not BUILT for it, and it's important to be happy you're trying versus highlighting the days you couldn't do things/life got in the way. thanks for sticking this one out and making a banger song too 😎

Can’t wait for the sequel, 200 days of ring fit

Your experience is so reliable I remember holding my 15 year old sister sobbing because the game dubed her overweight. This game had completely unrealistic standards and shamed you when you couldn't fulfill them

I hate to be a buzzkill but this is a scarily accurate representation of how eating disorders start

Bro the song at the end…😭 that was absolutely incredible and so unexpected (first time watcher)

Just commenting to say that I'm genuinely impressed by your songwriting ability sometimes. You may need a ScottIsSinging channel one day soon.

scott serenading us into 2024 with some smooth vocal harmony about his wii experience! how about wii or no wii WE all agree to focus on our physical and mental health goals in a safe and practical way that we enjoy!

I’m glad you’re finally getting back into making music again Scott. You make some awesome songs.

The candle game actually is the scariest game I've ever played. I'm glad I'm not the only one freaked out by it lol

I didn’t realize how much I missed the Scott “ends every video with a song” era, fantastic to be back

This is just an allegory for getting an ED, the depression the obsession with numbers the thinking about what you eat constantly.

Wii Fit more like just you fit scott haha im hilarious

that songs an absolute banger. You're perfect, Scott. Don't let any shady figure or plastic board tell you otherwise

You can really tell how much Scott enjoyed this experience

First, we got Drew trying the Tom Brady Diet for 1 month. Now, we got Scott playing Wii Fit for 100 days. The complete package.

Let’s be real at some point in our lives we have all been traumatized by Wii Fit. Side note; this is also the behaviour many people have when eating disorders start so good on Nintendo for giving a whole generation fear and shame around food and exercise.

30:19 sick "Home Alone" (1990) reference, bro

Idk whether to laught or cry especiallysince thisnis the first video of the year. I know this video was suppose to be funny but Ive also dealt with weight issues and self loathing because of that. Im slowly getting away but it still hurts my heart to see someone else deal with it. Ill just say this SCOTT, Im proud that you finished, not many would.💜💪🏾🤛🏾

From making his own Disney Channel Games to Wii Fit! He’s going to be in the next Olympics for sure! Also, seeing Scott’s kid look up to him like he’s a giant while doing his Wii Fit journey.

I had an early-elderly family member develop a pseudo-ED/exercise compulsion to Wii Fit when it first came out, because she thought it was the newest health fad. It seems funny, but honestly it was very uncanny to see and a depressing situation. Thought you might be interested though! A lot of your complaints were the same as hers, but she was 💯 genuine.

This video was great! It’s a good way to document your journey. The video was engaging and as someone who didn’t expect much, you exceeded my expectations. And like you said, your BMI isn’t the most reliable way of tracking your fitness, and you proved that to a T.

One of the most entertaining youtube videos in awhile. Just dance is actually a killer workout and much more fun, plus you can play with friends

I just finished watching keelvin go insane doing this for 90 days... I'm curious to see what an extra 10 days does.

Can't believe Scott played Wii Fit for 100 days as a set up for a Wii Music music video

as a high school senior suffering from burnout with school, i love that scott’s silly little song about the wii fit hit way too close to home for me :’D … now if you will go excuse me, i shall play the song 1024 more times while crying in my shower

Scott is the most wholesome comedic KZfaqr. I loved the video ❤

Wii Fit was not helpful or fun for me long term, but Ring Fit Adventure has legitimately changed my life! It’s as much game as it is fitness program, and it’s accessible, body-neutral, and evidence-based. 10/10 would play fitness video game if it were RFA specifically

That ending was beautiful Scott! The song slaps way harder then it has any right to and the video was pure art! 😂

This video really put the struggle in strugglr. A true work of art. Leave that board behind Scott, it can't hurt you any more

Tw/Cw, ED mentions, abusive/neglectful family mentions Just my personal experience with Wii Fit as someone with body issues and a toxic, neglectful family that shamed me a lot and also as someone with undiagnosed issues affecting my weight. Slightly trauma dumpy just to give my experience with Wii Fit and to explain how it only contributed to my bad circumstances and worsened me. Wii Fit helped me learn a lot of exercises, but especially coming from a family that shamed my eating habits and weight issues as a kid (even though they were unhealthy my entire childhood as well and also were neglectful and never tried to work with me on my picky eating, aka an eating disorder where I can barely tolerate most foods, I think the acronym is ARFID, but I'm dyslexic so may have mixed up a couple letters) really only led me to having a restrictive, weight obsessed eating disorder when I was 16. I was fit to some extent, but even when I was as low as 112 (really underweight for me, I'm 5'6, I was about the same weight as my 5'2 friend when she can keep her weight up. She's skinny cause of natural, genetic reasons), I was pushing myself more. Wii Fit could honestly be good for giving simple advice for doing stretches and such. I still use the exercises and stretches it taught me as a kid today and enjoy exercise as a way to handle my emotional state as well as deal with my chronic pain issues when I have the energy. But the way it shames you seriously messes you up. I have weight issues from an undiagnosed issue and have always fluctuated between overweight, normal, and a tad underweight/right at the line. I've had years of being skinny and years of being heavy despite 0 changes in my habits overall. Like. When you're a kid with a neglectful family that shames you and you have siblings telling you that no one will love someone fat and ugly, it gets to you, man. The exercises are fine enough even if they can get boring. But it honestly is really shameful and really just added a lot of unnecessary stuff. I would push myself far too much and my parents started just suggesting I do Wii Fit whenever I feel terrible to "be healthier." Not to mention BMI is complete bs and doesn't actually account for individualities within the body and also most muscly people and body builders would count as overweight or obese since muscle weighs more than fat. Especially when you're a kid and have no real clue about fitness or anything and are constantly bombarded with diet culture stuff, it gets to you. I cried a lot over Wii Fit as a kid because of my need to be perfect. I have a lot of other issues that are personal that contribute to my reactions to it, but seriously, it was certainly more harmful than helpful as a kid in a bad home with serious body issues that has been insulted for their looks since they were like 4. Looking back, it really feels more like it pretended to be well-researched by just...having the most bare bones knowledge. I still enjoy it, but if I'm gonna do stretching, I usually just look up an article of stretches to do for the areas causing me pain. I loved the games though, Ski Jump was my favorite. But like, yeah I had other issues contributing to my poor health including doctors and my parents ignoring signs of undiagnosed issues (I've had slowly worsening pain since I was like 5 and it's now gotten to the point I can barely walk and am out of breath which is only worsened by my weight from a large, unknown weight gain. And finding doctors that believe me and won't just look at my tests and go "Well, we don't really know what it is, but it's back to normal so it's fine" on the bare minimum tests is difficult) as well as my poor mental state cause there is so much trauma wrapped up in this body that it scares me sometimes, but Wii Fit certainly wasn't helping as it paraded around as the most knowledgeable and credible source for information. And since I was a kid in a family that knew nothing, I soaked it all up and started blaming myself even more. It definitely did more harm than good.

Nah bro, it aint just you. We got this whenever it first came out. My mom wouldn't play it after about a week. Me and my sister would play a lot but she was always super angry because it told her that she was too thin and I was always upset because it always said that I was overweight. I already had some trouble with bullies at school and my anxiety shot up. My paranoia was crazy and I cried so incredibly much but I just kept playing because I was hoping that I would lose weight. I stopped eating. Played for a couple years til i was too depressed to get up. People may be like : "oh all teens go through stuff like". I WAS TEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT. Anyways, wii fit sucked.

The baby in his bouncy in the back is just the cutest thing ever! ❤

I really enjoyed this video dude. Love your honesty and silliness

I like the 16 minute rant of why something isn’t working and then just Jaden in the background, “yeah”.

"where'd that 2 pound energy go?!" hilarious

I remember as an overweight kid seeing that over-exaggerated blimp of a Mii that the Wii fit generated anytime I logged into to “play” absolutely destroyed my sense of self esteem…

Just found your channel again and catching up on all the new videos. So glad youre still going and getting better. Keep it up! Love your videos❤

loved the song at the end scott!!! great vid

Being a homeschooled child with this game, my mom would make me play Wii Fit every day as my “PE class”. I was also overweight due to reasons out of my control, and being told as an 11 year old that I was “obese” every day definitely contributed to my body dysmorphia. Thanks for validating how unfair and judgmental the game felt, I can’t imagine how many kids grew up thinking they were fat and unhealthy because of this 😢

I'm just gonna put this out there, I really love Scott's songs, when I first discovered him I literally made a SoundCloud account so I can listen to his songs, then I immediately got excited when this one came on at the end, adding it to my liked playlist

I feel so bad that I’m laughing so hard at Scott struggling with this game.. I had no idea this video would be so funny

"it's master bait becau-" okay scott

As a kid I thought I was fat because the Wii fit told me I was and none of my siblings. It was only till after I stopped Wii fit I realized that I was just a child and all children are like kind of chubby bc all that chubbiness turned into height. I’m crying laughing over the “ what did you do about the hallucinations”

The summer between my middle school and high school years, my hs offered a PE class that was just playing the Wii Fit for an hour a day. It was honestly one of my favorite classes to this day and such an easy PE credit 😂

Always love when Scott ends a video with a song

wii music was genuinely such a fun outlet for me as a kid. i felt so cool being able to keep rhythm and play instruments in a silly way

Omg I watched keelvin’s video when it came out so the two of you just venting about your frustrations about wii fit was the funniest thing ever but the way you would both bond over it had me smiling so hard through the whole thing.

I used the Zombies RUN! app on my phone for years. Literally almost 12 years using it, it's engaging stories, syncs to your Apple music, and the narrator tells you when to run because a horde is coming and you gotta make it back to base camp with supplies. It's fun, the only time I ever got annoyed with it and realized I was too invested was when I talked back to a character.

So this just made me feel WAY better about this game literally traumatizing me as a tween so I appreciate you making this video!
