There is one they forgot. When they got attacked and that lazer made a hole in the ship, Terry said that that hole is a leak, makina a reference to the super smash bros. leaks.
There’s also a moment where Scott shows his birth certificate, and it has the “will eventually talk about the first mega man” and (working title) from previous episodes
One reference that was missed: Scott's weapon in the battle against the Green Bay Packers is the bottle of Pepto-Bismol that has been on his desk since the first episode.
@@DaSheepKiller Scott stated before on a QnA pannel that he did replace it one time because he sick one day, and started wishing he had Pepto Bismol and then remembered he had some on his desk.
When scott says "what was that?" while inside his own head, jerry responds excitedly "words!" Because words mean a lot to him. Words have been in his family for generations.
This is a great list, I definitely missed quite a few of these on my first watchthrough. One reference you missed is that ConnorEatsPants is the first news reporter, which is a callback to his role as the news reporter in "It's Awesome Baby!" So many fantastic references, Borderline Forever really felt like a celebration of all things Scott the Woz!
@@mds_516 actually, I believe he said “looks like the wii shop channel closed early” which means that episode takes place before the closure of the Wii Shop Channrl
@@thespeediestgonzales7704 But then how would he know the consequences of the Wii Shop Channel closure? Maybe he was talking about that universe Wii Shop Channel.
@@rexythet.rexfromjpreadabou186 Scott Wozniak 1997/Death Did not beat The Minish Cap Admitted the Game Boy Color was simply an upgrade to the original model
Really awesome to see all these references. I think one missed reference is when Rex says "not michigan!" It may be a stretch but in the Scott's Stash video where Scott, Sam, and Eric play through Champions Road. There's a part where they're joking about states being real and Rex saying something about Michigan. It's probably just a coincidence but may be a reference idk
Did Scott plan this 200 episodes ago, have a list of small details that would later become future gags, or does he just remember all these small details. It’s insane!
@@awesomeyoutubehandlewowitslong In his commentary on Scott's Stash about A Bargain Bin Christmas, he said he has ideas for 200 and 300, but struggled with his idea about 150 (which was A Bargain Bin Christmas). So I think many of them are already specified which I find interesting. It'll be at least 2 years until his 300th episode, that's a lot of time.
The corndog thing is even more of a reference when someone pointed out he ate the corndog on reddit when the original episode came out and scott replied "he ate the BATTER". nobody mentioned the batter having milk but scott worked it into canon here
0:08 Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but I think the broken wii remote is from his Wii episode in 2017 where he threw it against the tv since the white cover fell off. Also, in his Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash episode, Rex slammed a Wiimote to the ground, but that one was still functional. The reference to the beginning of his first episode goes on for a sentence more than shown ("go kethunk in a casket"). The DinoRiki NES game also got mentioned in his Resident Evil 4 Tales from the Backlog episode near the end where he also compared it to Max Payne 3, so both of those games kinda are a double reference. The "ends with a game on PS3" line could also be related to Brink since he found it right when he passed out. It may be a hint that his last ever episode could be about Brink, but the reference to his outro makes far more sense since Brink isn't a PS3 exclusive. Overall, a great compilation! Thanks for putting it together. It contained many that I missed when rewatching it.
This special reassured me that my hundreds of hours watching and re-watching Scott the Woz videos over the past four years wasn't for nothing, because I understood almost all of the references.
other references that were missed in the video: 0:08 - On top of the TV is a game guide for Madden 08, both in reference to Scotts love for Madden 08 and the video on game guides. - After the whole VHS bit, the tape was originally "Proof of Scotts Innocence", which refers to how often Scott has commited crimes. - Red and black mind space goes to the same reference as the pan itself, the Virtual Boy. - Target Employee packs up ribs for the space trip, he just loves ribs. - and 7:15 is just Scott showing he's got the power of Madden 08 Español, with the coverstar of that game showing up all the way back in the Madden 08 Christmas special. Obviously theres the whole desk and other references I forgot, but I'm not going to try that hard
In Closing In, during the line "pick something right out of the drawer" Scott takes out Madden 08 which is in a Time-Space Continuum-proof bag (referencing It's Awesome Baby)
Another reference: In Great Mystery's of Gaming when Ched Shaft was thanking everyone for coming to his dinner party, he said these words to Terry Lessler: "Thank you for your acts of veganism. Carrots wouldnt be the same without you" In the fight againts the green Bay packers, (in borderline forever) Terry's weapon of choice are carrots
One that you missed is that his friends getting distracted by printer ink in the border is probably a reference to "Cancelled Games" when he blurs his ink-jet numbers
Honestly really loved this, seeing all the references I missed was great! Also, there's a super subtle one you missed in Stupid Nintendo Games. During the line "We have been blessed, no time to rest, I've got a lot to undress" there's a copy of Wheel of Fortune on NES with a Game Genie attached to it, referencing the ending gag of Cheat Codes.
You missed when he swiped right on Gubble on Tinder, it references "holding a Gubble, it's Wednesday all right" But JESUS can we talk about that ending?!
Oh man this is wonderful, there were some I even forgot or never saw. All piled up like this makes me think of how great Scott is as a creator, he's hilarious.
I'm confident that the bit during It's Closing In where the "Hey all!" at once from every episode is a reference to the fan videos doing the same thing. It looks the same way as the fan videos are set up.
You forgot the reference where Scott unleashes a ton of copies of Rhythm Heaven Fever at the blue border referencing when he said "I mean I don't need Rhythm heaven fever dammit I need two!"
Fun fact about 0:43, on the opening music of Borderline Forever, when James Rolfe appears as the AVGN watching Scott's training tape, the first notes of the AVGN theme tune play. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MmX6Qkpm2mY.html - Scott-less music video - 3:15 in this video to hear it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mhbVUf3yyB0.html - Borderline Forever - 3:28 on this to see it in action
At the end when target employee says " i hate when this happens" is a reference to the Polybius episode, when Scott turns around, sees the Polybius machine and says that
One more you missed: In ‘Stupid Nintendo Games’, Scott says: “If you said Madden '09 and skin, Get the f*ck out of my face” This is a reference to the ‘No Skin Policy’ in ‘Homecoming - Scott the Woz’
I knew there were a LOT of references in Borderline Forever but I didn’t even know about some of the more deep cut ones. It truly is a love letter to the entire series and of course the fans.
I certainly recognized a handful during the premiere, but I didnt realize just how freaking many there were. Makes his 200th even more celebratory now.
Not sure if this would make sense for a compliation like this but the 2 spanish Madden 08 games are actually in the background with all the other maddens in videos proceeding Borderline. Its really cool how the specials leave an impact on the normal episodes.
0:33 You can see Mario Party, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Kart 64 which I think might be a subtle reference to the defective those are the only N64 games he reviewed
one reference that’s really obscure: when scott puts games in the consoles during Stupid Nintendo Games, one of the clips shows him putting Dick Vitale’s Awesome Baby College Hoops into a N64. this references The Internet and You (the first video uploaded on his channel) since the cartridge was in the N64 in most of the scenes with his desk. scott brought up this reference in his 5 year anniversary commentary on The Internet and You (iirc) on his second channel.
I think the fact he said that Max Payne 3 is the game that has been in his backlog for the longest time in his resident evil 4 video is also referenced when he flinches at it in borderline forever
In the song closing in when he says “pick something right of drawer” the bag in the background is form it’s awesome baby when he says something about a bag that keeps games safe when messing with timelines
You missed 12: - "If there's one thing I hate more then my uncle, it's sex" - Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash "If there's one thing I hate more then the Green Bay Packers, it's sex." - Borderline Forever - How Rex stares at his phone: *Rex stares at phone* "They said maybe" - The Trial *Rex stares at phone* "He's not picking up" - Speed Dating *Rex stares at phone* "They blocked me." - Borderline Forever Team F*cked's weapons: - On Scott's shelf ever sense his 2017 Nintendo Switch Presentation video, he has had a Pepto-Bismol bottle, which was what he brouht to space, and was also his weapon while fighting the Green Bay Packers. - Terry Lessler uses a carrot as his weapon, being a reference to The Great Mysteries of Gaming. "Carrots wouldn't be the same without you." - In "It's Awesome Baby!" ConnorEatsPants is a news anchor, and he also appears as the news anchor when the blue border invades all people in Ohio in Borderline Forever - In Borderline Forever, Scott, "swipes right" on Gubble, being a reference to Game Collecting. "Holding a Gubble. It's Wednesday alright." - Game Collecting - When Scott fires a bunch of Wii Shovelware at the blue border, a lot of the shovelware is just Rhythm Heaven Fever, being a reference to: "I don't need Rhythm Heaven Fever, damnit, I need two!" Scott's, "Last Will and Testament" paper (given out after hearing the subtitle for Mario 2, "Mario Madness": - In "Mega Man | Growing Pains", Scott's birth certificate says that this middle name is, "Will Eventually Take A Look At The First Mega Man", and in "From Reveal to Release", a note gets added, marking his name as a "(working title)". Both the middle name and the (working title) are put in the "Full name" box of this Last Will and Testament - In "You're Not An RPG Guy", when Jerry Atrics says that they're living in America, Scott says, "This isn't America, this is Ohio!", and in his Last Will and Testament, the Country and City parts intended to be filled out are both written as, "Ohio" - The Wii remote next to the CRT at the start of Borderline Forever was actually from Scott's original Wii video, when he chucks the Wii remote at the TV, and it breaks/splits in half. - When AVGN watches the intro tape on How To Talk About Video Games, the first couple notes of the AVGN theme song plays. - The Dino-Riki and Max Payne 3 jokes actually originated from "Resident Evil 4 | Tales from the Backlog" I know there are more I missed, but it this point I'm too lay to write the rest.
so heres 2 things that i havent seen anyone else notice so far and it the fact that near the end of stupid nintendo games it shows scotts multiple wii u’s and one has “pal” labeled on it which are both references to (i hope) his video on we dare
not a BF reference, but in madden christmas jerry was a news anchor, and in darkest age he said he tried to be a news anchor but he wasn't cut out for it, so he became a therapist
Another missed one: "Oh, hi, I didn't see you there!" is a reference to the channel intro for his "Scott hates Zelda: Breath of the Wild" RU-vid channel.
At the beginning, there’s a bunch of VHS tapes, like the Water Z EX+ promotional tape, Marketing: I Can Sell Deception Too?, The Internet And You, Give a F*ck Productions and the Wii Chess commercial
