It's weird coming back to this in 2020. A therapist is a news anchor, Jeb isn't mentioning Gex at all, DJ Abstinence owns Madden 09, Steel Wool didn't kill anyone yet, this is like the Twilight Zone.
I work at a video game store. One of my friends happens to be a big fan of your channel. Recently, he came to my store and demanded I find him every copy of Madden 08 we have, for every console we have it for. He bought 7 copies of Madden 08 from us, and I was completely confused why (He wouldn't tell me why) until I found this video.
My Christmas season was really in the shitter... but it was because I hadn't played any Madden 08. Thank you Scott for making my Christmas a happy one : - )
I love how the person who plays the news anchor and Therapist (he was hinted to be a reporter in the Zip Lash episode) is called Justin and it says ‘this Just in’
You are pushing so many boundaries for youtube content. The production quality here is insane. You've GOTTA be operating this channel at a loss. Godspeed, Scott.
holy balls the production value, the incredible story, the flawless acting, everything is crafted to perfection here. in all seriousness, it's awesome that you've grown so much recently, I may have joined the party recently with Alax's video, but I'm glad ill be around to see you grow even more with your hilarious and informative videos. merry christmas Scott

Actually, I think he stopped driving very recently. He won't be driving again for some time. Something about conspiring to commit murder, murder, attempted murder, being murdered...
I feel as if this video is an allegory for religion. The Christmas themes obviously show that madden 08 is meant to represent Christianity. At the vegans anonymous gathering, we see that the other vegans prefer madden 09, which is likely a representation of Judaism, as Hanukkah is Christmas’ rival holiday. Steve, displeased by other having beliefs different than his own, sabotages them by stealing all the copies of madden 18, which could be a representation of the holy land, and planting it in their meeting place. The police, which represent the crusaders, come to retrieve the copies from the vegans. During this time, Scott is visited by the cover player of madden 08, likely a representation of the spirit of Jesus Christ, who leads him to an epiphany, along with the “helpful employee” that is a representation of a guardian angel, which is that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. Scott then returns to the vegans to apologize, bearing gifts of madden 09. Overall, this was a remarkably clever way to voice opinion on the religious commentary of the holiday season. Props to Scott. *Edit on 6/8/2020: After well over two years, I have just now found this comment again and realized that it gained a lot of attention. So to answer the question that has plagued your minds since Christmas of 2017, yes. I meant Scott at the beginning of the fourth sentence. Not Steve. I made this edit for the people, knowing that I would lose Scott's like on the comment. Hopefully Scott revisits this video some day and re-likes the comment after realizing the sacrifice that was made.
Wait this makes me seem like an idiot I’m just talking about how the OG Wendy’s Employee helped in a Target and then Target employee wants to be a Wendy’s employee, it all circles around
idk why but the guy sitting on the barrel with same expression hes had for the entire video while a cop sticks a gun in his face at 14:35 is the funniest goddam thing I have ever seen in my life
Wow Scott, this is sooo amazing. Congrats to everyone in the video. I'm so glad to be part of this! The production value is unbelievable. Can't wait for season 2.

So many people say it’s hard to get into RUclips in 2017 and that it is hard to make content people want to watch. Well Scott, you’ve done what so many said was impossible. Congrats dude and I look forward to 2018.
orangeapples He had less than 300 subscribers before he got a shout out from relaxalax so yeah its still nearly impossible to get into youtube He gained traction from being noticed by a bigger youtuber
