Hey, everyone! I've been gone a while. Thanks for being patient with me as I navigate all of this. If you want to support me and my videos, I'm running that special offer on patreon.com/nerdsync right now for Scoobtober! I really rely on your support through Patreon more than ever these days. So thank you to those who have the ability and desire to help me create more of these videos. It's the #1 thing I love doing in the whole world 💜
Take take for yourself bro! We can wait! Also, if you ever want to finish Iron Man, I'd appreciate it! I loved your coverage on the comic filmed Thor and Captain America series- so heres one fan that enjoyed them!
Rewatch Batman BEYOND man if you can. I appreciate much more as an adult. It gives the future-escapism vibe but it had a lot of good messages without it feeling forced.
Hey if I wasn't a broke ass I would be a patron. Thank you for all of the work you put in to educate us about comics so we can be like actually.... I think I share the Batman's one rule video like once a month to fans who don't know
Not being ok is OK, but when I’m feeling down I look back at my childhood cartoon favorites, ace Ventura animated series, ghostbusters animated series, Sonic The Hedgehog, pink panther from the 90s series, and wishbone from PBS 🐶
I personally dont watch show when im in a depressed mood, but im 15 and it always shocks me that nobody my age knows about pink panther in the 90s or in general
Scott, Scott. Your brain isn't broken. It's just different, and therapy helps you understand and work with it better. You, my good man, have a good brain.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is definitely one of my favorite iterations of the character. It both spoofs, and yet is very respectful, of many of the troops in Scooby-Doo cartoons. Scooby as a puppy is awfully cute! I'm not ashamed to admit it!
whenever someone brings up "formulaic = bad" i always point them to Phineas and Ferb. wonderfully formulaic, never gets stale. to your point about rewatching being worth a lot, i absolutely agree with. whether it's Lord of the Rings, or Clone Wars, or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, or replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 or Halo 3 for the 100th time, it's comfort food. new is nice, but old is also nice.
You know, I'm reminded of that quote in Bojack Horseman, when HollyHock says "It's okay to cry, and I shouldn't feel bad for feeling bad" I think of that quote alot, and it gets me through some days that are difficult
This might not mean much coming from a stranger but take care of yourself man. Remember, you have a choice and you can choose to make things better. Just take it one day at a time.
@@NerdSyncProductions considering he did like a five hour video on digimon and I watched half of it with zero interest in digimon- you guys could and should go ten hours on Scooby Doo. That and the second door podcast I listen to ended and I need to fill the hole
@@jodasjones67 both and when I was a kid there was a (live action) show with kids (and a cocker spaniel) that solved mysteries ..i think I mostly remember the dog on that one.
*A QUICK NOTE AND APOLOGY:* I really fought myself on if I should use the phrase “my brain is broken” in the video when talking about ADHD for this exact reason. It’s very new to me and I personally want it treated for myself, and my therapist even heavily suggested that I should get it treated with medication. I know medication isn’t the right way to manage ADHD for everyone. Some people can get by on their own. Some people just need therapy. Some people need therapy and medication. Everyone’s different. There is no “fix." So on that note, apologies if my language made it seem like I think everyone with ADHD has “broken brains.” That was not my intent at all. That’s just how I personally feel about my own brain, and maybe that’s the wrong way to look at it. It's all very new to me. But I do appreciate everyone with ADHD in the comments being incredibly supportive and kind as I navigate this new part of my life. Thank you 💜
Hi! I have ADHD, and I dunno if it helps, but a few really good resources for me have been the RUclips channel "How to ADHD", and additudemag Wishing you the best! Also, knowing you have ADHD is going to help a lot. It's a process, but you'll be able to learn how to work with it, rather than having it work against you. It can be hard, and it'll take time, but it's going to help you in the long run. Learning how ADHD affects you can be scary, but it's also a relief in a lot of ways. You just have to remind yourself that it's not all your fault, and that struggling doesn't make you *insert any negative adjectives you may use here*. It gets easier, it just takes time. You've got this!
I'm sure some people appreciate the apology, but I don't think it was necessary. I remember the early days after getting diagnosed, being able to say that my brain was broken was a hell of an improvement of thinking that it was all of me that was broken (and in a way that couldn't be helped).
You know, Scott, that was the one good thing about the dark Phoenix movie- The quote right when Jean arrives at the school as a kid. I would rewatch it, no matter how disappointing that movie was...
Don’t worry about it, I have ADHD and I always thought of myself as less of a person when I’m not on medication. It didn’t even register as a slightly untrue statement to me, though it is nice to hear some people can handle the situation better
I have loved your content for years now and continue to adore everything you post, and I'm sure many people feel the same way. It's alright to not feel 100%, do whatcha gotta do and whenever you are ready to put out whatever you feel like putting out, I and many others will gladly be here to watch it and support you as best we can :)
Recently, I've been rewatching Disney's Gargoyles. Other than that. Community has been my most rewatched series for a few years now. The Owl House, Amphibia, Ducktales (2017), and Gravity Falls are more recent shows that I'll binge or rewatch every so often, usually in succession I used to rewatch Phineas and Ferb a whole lot until my nephew started binging it.
Currently 'Owl House', 'Leverage', 'Dark Angel', and 'Dead Like Me'. 'Farscape' and 'Deep Space Nine' in the past and probably again in the future. Around this type of year I like to watch 'Trick 'r Treat' and 'Over the Garden Wall' as well. Winter time is for Christmas episodes of shows, enjoy the 'Grimm' episodes especially, even as I look back cringing at it's copaganda.
This man manages to make videos on topics I've never cared for in my entire life and make me interested in listening to him talking about it for 30mins to an hour each time
Pup named Scooby Doo is a great show to relax with. It cheers up anyone in a sour mood and really brings a chill atmosphere thanks to the humor and beautiful jazz music. I'm glad you've made another great video and please- dedicate some time to yourself. Anytime you don't feel like doing something- take time to ease your mind, body and soul!
As someone who also discovered they are neurodivergent over the past few months, I hope you know how much I appreciated you talking about your ADHD diagnosis ❤️
Hang in there Scott! Panic attacks can be random and weird! You’re an awesome content creator! Quality > Quantity! Best of luck dude; I’ll be praying for ya!
James Bond Jr. destorys his uncle's prized Aston Martin DB5, which is then rebuilt into a red sports car as a gift to Jr. from Bond Sr. (the uncle, remember). Did that really happen, or did I just imagine the sort of nonsense one would expect judging by the intro alone? I'll never tell.
Fun fact. That should be James Bond the 2nd. Jr is for your child, the 2nd is for someone who’s not your kid. So I think it’s canon that James Bond was truly the father.
There is literally nothing wrong with being formulaic, quite the opposite, being formulaic is so often a good thing. When something is formulaic, it means it's predictable but being predictable also means that something is dependable! And dependability is a great thing, it's a form of stability every heathy human needs! After a long hard day, week or month do you want something strange, unfamiliar, or unknown? No, you want something familiar or formulaic so your brain/body and reset and relax. You need these beacons of stability otherwise you're liable to go crazy! It's why human need (formulaic) schedules in their lives, they need a stable place to live, and need stable people around them. Being formulaic is the backbone of human society and that's a good thing! Not only that, but are humans are literally programed to recognize and enjoy formulaic things in media. That was the entire argument behind Campbell's Hero's Journey. He argued that a plethora of stories throughout human history followed the same basic structure that appeals to humans on a biological level. And because these stories appealed to us on this biological level, they were easily understood and enjoyed by humans. But recently, a lot of creators/storytellers are putting too much focus on making modern media "new" or radically different just for the sake of it. It's likee being new of different is automatically good! Such a philosophy is a direct response to the formulaic and it's missing the entire point of why being formulaic is so important! The formulaic represents dependability and stability in stories and that's a great thing. It lets us understand stories on an intimate level and even lets us identify and analyze differences in the formula when they do emerge. Like the Hero's Journey is a story structure that has been at work for thousands of years yet I see people calling it "tired" or "boring" or "predicable". They are essentially calling it obsolete but it can't be obsolete when our brains are programed to enjoy it. And you can tell lots of different hero journey stories even when the same fundamental structure is. the same. Same with Scooby Doo, every mystery is different even when the formula is the same. Look, I'm not trying change, innovation or things that are new are bad. Change can be great and people need to expand their boundaries. All that I am saying is that change, innovation, or the new isn't automatically good just because it's different and we shouldn't act as if being formulaic bad thing and needs to be eliminated. Formulaic-ism is rooted in the human psyche and instead of fighting this fundamental part of our brain, we should be embracing it and using it as a tool to tell and understand stories. That's the best and most efficient way to tell impactful *and* enjoyable stories.
*Taking notes* And it should be noted that the juxtaposition of formula versus innovation can make said changes even more impactful! Or that formulaic stories can form the backbone, but be used to explore more complex and thought provoking ideas! You need a status quo or a formula within your story so it remains internally consistent, (otherwise you’re story is gonna be all over the place) and having aspects of a story be consistent and reliable can be a real source of comfort, which prevents the audience from being to jarred. It’s all about striking the right balance of tried and true and innovative storytelling!
Scott! My dude! I hope you are feeling better after the rollercoaster of life changes and mental challenges. Your videos are always spectacular; well-researched, informative, and entertaining! Thank you for keeping us updated and keeping the channel going. I wish you the best because you are the best!
I will never dislike a someone talking about their panic attacks. For those that have been through it, can be scary. Wish the best for you. Also almost spit out my drink hearing you like Kiki delivery service. Always suprises me when a non anime youtuber says they like an anime.
This is my introduction to you. The first time you have ever crossed my recommended. I think you’re great. Inspiring. Relatable. Thanks for this video. I came here because I love Scooby Doo, and found feelings.
You have always been an extremely talented story teller, and you will soon be able to make more elaborate videos again! As a fellow depressed 30-something with lots of anxiety problems as well as ADHD (that wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood), NerdSync works like a comfort show for me. I realise that this post will be completely drowned in your massive comment section, but know that you are really making a difference and we are many who can relate to what you are going through.
I felt the need to let you know that, simpler set or not, this video still very much felt aesthetically like a NerdSync video. Don't ever start to doubt that we'll lose interest in you over something so trivial, Scott. We will always want to hear your input on these subjects. I've learned a massive amount from your videos, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so for years to come.
I was thinking about this today. Somebody told me spilling random thoughts in my journals is very therapeutic, but I don't write something unless I feel like it's worth writing. Like you with talking. I feel stuck working on my own projects a lot of the time. Depression and panic attacks are stressful. I'm glad you're feeling joy. I'll be praying for you.
Man not until finding you did I realize I have a long history with scooby doo without even realizing it. Id say that what’s new scooby doo is my personal favorite since it’s the one I grew up with. That being said mystery inc is second on the list but I relent it’s definitely the better show. A pup actually lands third place but all things considered I’d say that’s pretty good. As is the show. Pretty goooood.
My go-to binge list: Movie: Shawshank Redemption Cartoons: Justice League / JLU series Anime: Hajime no Ippo Also, I've been rewatching your videos during the pandemic, and I've watched the Endgame Thor video probably the most, whenever anxiety hits me like a m*f*er truck before sleeping. So, thank you Scott for getting me through the times.
Good luck with everything going forward and congratulations on learning something new about yourself (As someone with Aspergers I relate to the feeling of suddenly having a bunch of stuff snap into place after learning more about how my brain works). Therapy is important and you are the best thing in your life you can invest in. I hope things start looking up for you and keep getting better. p.s. I know it's a joke, but your brain is not broken. Just unique. Sometimes it feels like a good thing, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always 100% yours to explore.
Aww wouldn’t have guessed it was a standing desk but I heard those really help. But you’ve gone through enough and have been so brave to be working hard and that’s so awesome that you’ve got back to work! And I wonder if maybe you can’t work on the iron man maybe being a lot of stressful things going on in the show as well as your life But I really get this for you do whatever saves you makes you happy and mentally healthy ^-^
It's a great desk! No joke, I was looking at ordering one from them before they contacted me, Spooky timing! And yeah, I've got a lot going on, but hearing messages of support from people like you helps a lot. Thank you!
dude you made me cry at two am, jeeze! I didn't expect this vid to be quite so hopeful and heavy at the same time. A Pup Named Scooby Doo was defiantly my fav scoob show as a kiddo too. Hope you're doing ok
It's always been my fav too! I didn't watch it quite as much as the original as it wasn't on tv as often. But of all the serieses it's the opening for this one that has lodged its self forever in my mind as the, it is time to get excited song
I loved this show as a kid! I think I used to watch the re-runs on Boomerang, it was my favorite home sick cartoon. The artstyle and scooby were all so cute and fun! I think I even used to try and do the little dances they did back in kindergarten.
You've become my new favorite content creator of 2021, sorry about the Iron Man video and your recent struggles. I never really comment, or leave likes, or even venture to Patreon, but for you, I'll make that exception. I do hope you can beat your Demon in a Bottle someday, but if it's too much, so be it. Take care of yourself
I love that you mentioned that how rewatching a media of comfort, because you already know what happens in the show, gives you a prediction of your feelings, which kind of gives you a bit of control over your mood, which as you said, makes a huge difference when you're going through darker/difficult episodes. I've felt stupidly guilty in the past watching various movies I knew were socially considered dumb, but were the trash I needed at the time, and I have negatively judged myself for watching that trash. So hearing you say that bit gave me some validation. My brain picked that trash for a reason, let me enjoy my trash, haha. And as an aside, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a show I enjoyed as a kid too! I don't ever hear it talked about, and while it's not a surprise coming from you, I'm glad you brought it up. Gave me some nostalgia feels x3 I'm glad you seem to be doing better, I hope things settle for you soon, and you can squeeze in some relaxation time :)
I find the vibe of your videos that you create from home feel really nice, cozy, and a lot more personable! It's super enjoyable, so don't feel like you need to stress about the set and stuff. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Haven't watched the full video yet, just at the beginning, but yes yay for normalizing talking about mental health problems and shout out to therapists.
@@NerdSyncProductions If there are people reacting that way then they are part of the problem. They are part of why there’s a stigma against talking about mental health. Don’t listen to them, Scott. You’re doing great.
Thanks for sharing your panic attacks. To be honest, I had taken a break after I finished my Master's and today I did my first job application, and have had this weird physical sort of pain in my chest, i.e. a light panic attack myself. and Honestly I have been praying, "Allah, show me that I'm not the only one who experiences this". And Lo and behold, this is the day you released THIS video. Thanks a lot for sharing your struggle man, even though we don't know each other, it still means a lot!
Welcome to the ADHD squad. Keep an eye out for autism, it tends to be hanging around out of sight, waiting to pounce. Joking aside, autism is wildly misunderstood by ADHD online personalities and content creators (as in people who make content about ADHD, not people who have ADHD and also make content) but is co-morbid with ADHD between 30% and 66% of time. It's actually more common in adult diagnosed people because the symptoms of one often compensate or mask the other. I was diagnosed with autism first and then ADHD 5 years later and it was so hard trying to get a handle on one without understanding the other.
I literally just went to my own first medication appointment today for a mood disorder and ADHD without health insurance (Plus I start paying for a one-bedroom apartment in November and just started two new jobs last month and took a semester off school and other stuff) and I was exhausted and clicked this video without reading the full title cause I saw nerd sync and scooby doo and honestly this video felt really weirdly comforting in a strange way that I wasn't alone. I really hope things get better for you and thank you so much for being so open. I desperately needed something to stop me from potentially spiraling and this video really helped even if only temporarily.
I do the same thing I have about 4/5 shows from my childhood especially scooby doo; I still watch constantly if just takes me back to a different time in my life that was stress free and just happy. It’s hard to explain really
Keep doing what makes you happy because not only is that what’s most important before anything else Scott, but you also make the best content when you’re happy creating it! I know the Iron Man video would’ve been amazing but if it doesn’t make you happy then it’s not worth it. I can’t wait to see what comes next in Scoobtober!
Thank you for making something worth binge watching. I don’t watch any other RUclips videos more than 10 minutes due to my ADD (ADHD’s less fun cousin), but you are engaging, honest and fun, which keeps my brain intrigued. Our brains aren’t flawed, but we do need to be honest with ourselves and find the tools to keep us from being overwhelmed On a technical note, your setup, video and audio quality were great. I have been feeling lately that the staged sets RUclipsrs use are a bit overused. The simpler, real life set works for me.
20:09 thats the reason my favorite ride in all of lego land is fairytale brook. Because i know everything there. Plus it was the first ride i went on during my first trip. As i was a little scared of roller coasters. And the fairytale brook brought comfort by being... simple and smooth
The idea that your production value would affect how much I enjoy your videos is wild to me. I love your elaborate videos and the idea that you'd hold yourself to your own standards is painfully relatable but maybe we can have both? That said, I really appreciate you sharing this experience and please know I'll be watching either way.
Joy is happiness that does not depend on what happens. Joy, like compassion, is what you are, not what happens to you. And so it does not surprise me that in this time of things falling apart, that you find joy underneath the rubble.
You can talk about mental health and Scooby-Doo all you like. I will always be here for it, and judging by the comments, many of us will be here for it.
@@NerdSyncProductions Thank YOU I also suffer from depression, and this video has inspired me to give Scooby-Doo a try as a warm emotional blanket. I expect positive results.
Your channel quickly became a personal favorite of mine. Highlight in personal. It's really comforting to just see someone talk about their issues in life. I deal with really similar issues actually, While I'm not officially diagnosed I'm about 90% positive that I am affected by it. On top of all this, comic book history is not something I ever thought I'd care about, but it's become one of the most fascinating subjects in my collection of interests. You have shown me how Deep Scooby Doo is. You showed me that SCOOBY DOO of all things is layered in ways I never imagined. Your content is so comforting and fun to watch. Please don't stop being yourself and making what you wanna make. (To the best of your ability.) I will watch every single one.
It is always weird when it comes to creative fulfillment. Sometimes you just want to work on something that just isn't in your scope at the time. I keep getting ideas that would work amazing for a show, but I'm an author at best. I do not have a full animation studio to produce a show that I want. I just always try and make something that is mine.
Its means so so much how you are so honest and comfortable sharing as much as you do. As someone going through similar emotions and life changes, it is incredibly helpful to hear someone I admire share their experience. I feel a lot less alone. Your content is a comfort to me. Thank you, truly
Every video you make I go into it thinking I'll be here for a few minutes and leave, but that's not what happens! You make me stay here wanting more making me stay and watch for the whole video. That happens every single one of your videos! Another amazing and interesting video for someone who has never watched Scooby-Doo!
It's good to see you back, Scott. I join you in living the questions of fulfillment, limitations and the creativity that can come from constriction. I was so inspired by the ideas you shared in the collage video, I emailed you an offer to share with you a collage method that I teach. That offer remains open 😊
Hey man I just wanna say that I am new to this channel but every single video I have watched I have loved. I genuinely laugh from your jokes, you are the first youtuber to do that in a long time. I will never be tired of hearing about your life especially if you are not in a good place. If you feel the need to share, then share away. Your fans will listen. We care about you a lot.
Always loved this show, along with all the other old animated Scooby shows. I'm glad there's someone out there talking about it, a lot of this stuff seems to be kind of forgotten. Loving your channel, keep it up!
first of all, 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo is my favorite. 2nd, your video is perfect. tbh ive only really watched your scooby doo videos and if you didn't bring up the whole studio thing. i wouldnt have even noticed. The video is perfect thank you.
LOVE this show! That Iceman song is one I’ve been singing for decades cause it stuck with me that long! Tom & Jerry Kids and The Raccoons are also comfort shows for me along with this one so I get it. Great vid, man!
The new set looks great. Even though it doesn’t have any props or anything in the background, It feels very comforting. I really love it more than any of the previous sets you have used.
So a couple of hours ago, I commented something where I spoke of how I really loved your content and that rewatching your stuff recently finally gave me the push to get into the comics themselves and not just the media based on the characters. Then I deleted it due to being self conscious and it causing me to delete it. I have a lot of anxiety myself and a lot of it takes the form of me second guessing and doubting whether or not what I say is the correct thing to say and whether or not I may say the wrong things. But in the end, as much as I struggle to determine what's the right thing to say, I still want you to know that I really respect you and love what you do. When it comes to anxiety, we may struggle with our problems, but in the end we need to push on and hope that due to our efforts that things go right for us
Just a few minutes in and I feel the need to say, don’t worry. Your audience, (me included), love your videos and just want to support you. I’ve had the largest panic attack and emotional breakdown a couple days age. Your videos are pieces of comfort. Hope you feel a bit better at some point though.
I am so sorry for the challenges you are dealing with. But not being ok is ok and you will figure these problems out and you'll get better. Your channel is a favorite of mine and your videos are engaging and entertaining. Take care and be well
Hey Scott, regardless of if you're doing Scoob, old cartoons, Bob Ross or literally anything, I love your content so much. Glad you're feeling a bit better, and I hope you can find some good topics (or at least some context) to do videos that will keep you energised. Hang in there, I'll be here to watch your context when ever you put it out.
This video really helped… even though it’s about scooby doo lol. The last two months was a shitshow and this really helped me feel not alone, so thanks scott
Hang in there, man. I've been binging episodes of MST3K off and on for the last nearly 30 years to deal with depression (~90 minutes to shut off my brain & laugh? Yes, please and thank you!), so I can fully understand the need to retreat into something familiar for a while. I say do what you have to do - occasionally you just have to sit on the couch and do 'nothing'. Mental issues can feel like a constant battle. Fighting to get from one day to the next, sometimes from one hour to the next. Sometimes just from one breath to the next, and it can be exhausting. But even Sun Tzu knew that at times the best tactic is to retreat, to regroup, to rest. Stepping back is not failure, it's strategy. And when you've had your rest, and it's time to get up off the couch and take some action, you're a lot better equipped (even if only for a a moment, but often a moment is all you need) to make yourself stand up and get back into the fray. That's all. Love your videos. thank you for doing what you do.
I started to watch just for the known bits of the comicverse, but You're such a sincere, honest and passionate creator, that I will definitely stay on this channel and watch every time You will post a new video. All the best for You and Emily and rest of Your gang!
This video meant a lot to me. I’ve been struggling lately and feeling stuck in a loop, and I’ve been finding comfort in really formulaic videos and shows (obviously this one is an exception 😂). Your timing always feels perfect for whatever I’m going through too. So thank you for continuing to make your videos! Wishing you the best!
Thanks for opening up about your struggles and thanks for doing what you do, Scott. Your personality, humour, and observations are the draw, not a fancy set or equipment. Take care of yourself and focus on guiding your own ship. You’re gonna do great. (Incidentally I’ve been dealing with my own struggles with anxiety and a recent ADHD diagnosis, so it’s hugely comforting to hear creators I admire discuss their own mental health so candidly. It’s a brave and difficult thing!)
I have been putting off this video and well, all new videos really, bc I was dealing with my own episode of depression and just seeing the word depression made me feel so much anguish, but I'm glad that after watching this video I'm up to date (I'm ok now btw afsfs) I really wanted to watch this video bc this is my favourite scoob show too! I'm from a spanish speaking country, I didn't have friends when I grew up expect for my lil bro, we watched pup after school and on weekends mornings. I know full well I enjoyed it a lil bit more, I was the one looking out for pup time and we always stopped what we were doing to watch it together. I was honestly baffled when trough this channel I came to know this show was not popular, but it feels comforting knowing that someone out there loves this show too 🤧 Try to do what makes you proud of yourself Scoot, I honestly don't care if you have a access to expensive cameras or more than one set. I found my "comfort show" are old videos of my favourite yt channels. I don't know if you will read this or if you remember, but during that time I commented in one of your community post that I had been watching your old videos recently and I couldn't stop feeling better while watching vids of like five years ago. I enjoy them, I honestly do. I like your content, not the budget. I hope you can continue doing videos that you, yourself, like :)
Oh my god Scott, for literally the last year I’ve been noticing and being like “Scott sounds very adhd as well” and literally JUST saw a video the other day about the creators and people we idolize being the people most similar to us, most of my friends are adhd as well by that same osmosis. I’m excited and scared as well for a lot of new art and life changes and job and comic stuff I’m working on, but we always got this. Even when we don’t.
Shout-out to Neurodiversity! It's about learning what works for you sometimes, learning that you are better at some things and worse at others, & most of all learning that it's ok and that it is just another thing that makes you the person you are.
Hey, haven’t finished the video yet. But you just said something about being annoying about talking about your mental health. I just want to say that I find you talking about your mental health genuinely helpful to me. Like it makes me feel less alone to hear about you dealing with the same stuff. You are allowed to also not talk about your mental health of course. I also enjoy your nerd content when it’s less personal. But never feel bad about talking about what you want to, even if you want to talk about yourself for a bit.
Scott, I have been watching and enjoying your channel for 5 to 6 years from when it was just you making these videos, to when there was a team supporting you with banners and intros, through the adpocalypse, as you ‘rebuilt’ your channel over the last recent years, and I will continue to enjoy your channel as you downsize and work from home (like a lot of the world has started to). Thank you for all the amazing content over these years and I am looking forward and excited to see what new content this new era brings.
Hmmm, I sent Scott the dvds of the Iron Man cartoon, hoping to help him to continue his series. I did not want to give him anxiety attacks! Hope you're getting through it ok Scott!
Hey Scott, I just wanted to say tha k you for being you. Your videos have always been a major comfort to me. I hope you're taking care of yourself man, seriously.
We come to see you and your outstanding views of the things you love. And though the quality may not meet your standards, the quality is still personal and excellently written. I am not a fan of Scooby Doo, but I am a fan of your views of the franchise. So happy that you found some footing of which to rebound. Just know that you are doing fine. Keep going, Scott. As long as you keep growing, this is just a moment. But as for your channel... You are still excellent. Thank you for all that you create.
Scott, another great video. Whatever creative pursuits you undertake, I wish you the best. After watching them for more than half a decade, there's a bit of nostalgia that I hold for the more formulaic early videos you did, which I frequently rewatch. But your work of the past few years has been my favorite--and that has nothing to do with production values
I was just diagnosed this year with ADHD. I’m 35 and thought I just had anxiety (GAD) since I was 16. For me, the diagnosis is freeing, but I’m still trying to find a medication that works. Thank you for using your voice to make me feel less lost and alone.
Scott, I've recently been filling in the gaps of the episodes I've missed the past couple of years, especially thanks to my new Nebula subscription! Nebula doesn't have a comment section, so I'll tell you here how much I've been enjoying the experience. This vid in particular spoke to me, as a fellow newly-diagonosed neurodivergent person who puts too much pressure on himself. I found I related to a lot of your experiences, and it's comforting to see someone communicate that experience through such thoughtful and engaging content (bleugh). I wish you good mental health, and hope that you continue to work in ways that creatively satisfy you. If you do that, chances are that what you end up with will be pretty damn good.
I felt very validated by this video, I've been there with my depression and anxiety and I've never subscribed to someone so fast. I've never wanted to support someone so much thank you so much you're doing great!!
Bro, this video was incredibly well made! Just want you to know that most people's expectations aren't always reflecting yours. As long as you're happy with them, I feel like that's all wet need. Thank you.
This video brought a lot of comfort to me. I'm fifteen, I have (undiagnosed) anxiety, OCD and possibly depression. I often find things like children's media so comforting and it really helps to know I'm not the only one ❤ take care
Oh Scott! Thank you SO much! I am SO glad to find out I am not the ONLY person in the whole world who watched James Bond Jr! I LOVED that show! I watched it everyday after school!
Hey, everyone! I've been gone a while. Thanks for being patient with me as I navigate all of this. If you want to support me and my videos, I'm running that special offer on patreon.com/nerdsync right now for Scoobtober! I really rely on your support through Patreon more than ever these days. So thank you to those who have the ability and desire to help me create more of these videos. It's the #1 thing I love doing in the whole world 💜
Take take for yourself bro! We can wait! Also, if you ever want to finish Iron Man, I'd appreciate it! I loved your coverage on the comic filmed Thor and Captain America series- so heres one fan that enjoyed them!
Rewatch Batman BEYOND man if you can. I appreciate much more as an adult. It gives the future-escapism vibe but it had a lot of good messages without it feeling forced.
Hey at least a pup named Scooby-Doo it's more watchable there Monday night raw let's be honest
I'm so excited for that commentary track!😄
Hey if I wasn't a broke ass I would be a patron. Thank you for all of the work you put in to educate us about comics so we can be like actually.... I think I share the Batman's one rule video like once a month to fans who don't know
Not being ok is OK, but when I’m feeling down I look back at my childhood cartoon favorites, ace Ventura animated series, ghostbusters animated series, Sonic The Hedgehog, pink panther from the 90s series, and wishbone from PBS 🐶
What a fun selection!
I personally dont watch show when im in a depressed mood, but im 15 and it always shocks me that nobody my age knows about pink panther in the 90s or in general
Wishbone was the sh!t!!!
@A person on RUclips The original Ace Ventura... did not age well. It is among the more transphobic films of the era.
Wishbone! That was my show!! 😍
I really do love dogs solving Mysteries
Scott, Scott. Your brain isn't broken. It's just different, and therapy helps you understand and work with it better. You, my good man, have a good brain.
Your meat space suit has character.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is definitely one of my favorite iterations of the character. It both spoofs, and yet is very respectful, of many of the troops in Scooby-Doo cartoons. Scooby as a puppy is awfully cute! I'm not ashamed to admit it!
Puppy Scoob is adorable!
@@NerdSyncProductions I'm old school but only because I was a kid during the first, original run (if I'm remembering correctly).
Same
@@NerdSyncProductions Remember that in "A Bicycle Built For Boo", Daphne got her new boots muddy?
whenever someone brings up "formulaic = bad" i always point them to Phineas and Ferb. wonderfully formulaic, never gets stale. to your point about rewatching being worth a lot, i absolutely agree with. whether it's Lord of the Rings, or Clone Wars, or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, or replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 or Halo 3 for the 100th time, it's comfort food. new is nice, but old is also nice.
formulas can be great! Phineas and Ferb is a perfect example of how formulas serve a purpose and can be executed extremely well!
Exactly! Formulas are like recipes- did you cook it right?
Lord of the Rings is AWESOME! I have watched the first 3 several times.
Exactly what I thought of, the LotR trilogy is chicken noodle soup for my soul
Litteraly on my... Maybe 8th playthrough of RDR2 rn as I watched this video lol. Had this in the background as I played
You know, I'm reminded of that quote in Bojack Horseman, when HollyHock says "It's okay to cry, and I shouldn't feel bad for feeling bad" I think of that quote alot, and it gets me through some days that are difficult
I’m in rehab right now and this video made me feel immediately better….which is saying a lot, actually. Thanks for working through it. Means a lot
thanks, Rory! hope all is well!
This might not mean much coming from a stranger but take care of yourself man. Remember, you have a choice and you can choose to make things better. Just take it one day at a time.
I love those shows
Jesus loves you
@@scrubbingdoubles8585 Amen buddy! =)
You and Billiam should collab on a Scooby Doo video together. Maybe YOU can help find his lost sea monkeys.
I adore Billiam's videos! His takes on Scooby are excellent!
@@NerdSyncProductions considering he did like a five hour video on digimon and I watched half of it with zero interest in digimon- you guys could and should go ten hours on Scooby Doo. That and the second door podcast I listen to ended and I need to fill the hole

..i think I mostly remember the dog on that one.
*A QUICK NOTE AND APOLOGY:* I really fought myself on if I should use the phrase “my brain is broken” in the video when talking about ADHD for this exact reason. It’s very new to me and I personally want it treated for myself, and my therapist even heavily suggested that I should get it treated with medication. I know medication isn’t the right way to manage ADHD for everyone. Some people can get by on their own. Some people just need therapy. Some people need therapy and medication. Everyone’s different. There is no “fix."
So on that note, apologies if my language made it seem like I think everyone with ADHD has “broken brains.” That was not my intent at all. That’s just how I personally feel about my own brain, and maybe that’s the wrong way to look at it. It's all very new to me. But I do appreciate everyone with ADHD in the comments being incredibly supportive and kind as I navigate this new part of my life. Thank you 💜
Hi! I have ADHD, and I dunno if it helps, but a few really good resources for me have been the RUclips channel "How to ADHD", and additudemag
Wishing you the best!
Also, knowing you have ADHD is going to help a lot. It's a process, but you'll be able to learn how to work with it, rather than having it work against you. It can be hard, and it'll take time, but it's going to help you in the long run. Learning how ADHD affects you can be scary, but it's also a relief in a lot of ways. You just have to remind yourself that it's not all your fault, and that struggling doesn't make you *insert any negative adjectives you may use here*. It gets easier, it just takes time. You've got this!
I'm sure some people appreciate the apology, but I don't think it was necessary. I remember the early days after getting diagnosed, being able to say that my brain was broken was a hell of an improvement of thinking that it was all of me that was broken (and in a way that couldn't be helped).
You know, Scott, that was the one good thing about the dark Phoenix movie- The quote right when Jean arrives at the school as a kid. I would rewatch it, no matter how disappointing that movie was...
Don’t worry about it, I have ADHD and I always thought of myself as less of a person when I’m not on medication. It didn’t even register as a slightly untrue statement to me, though it is nice to hear some people can handle the situation better
As someone with ADHD I often feel very much as though my brain is broken so honestly it just felt quite relatable
I have loved your content for years now and continue to adore everything you post, and I'm sure many people feel the same way. It's alright to not feel 100%, do whatcha gotta do and whenever you are ready to put out whatever you feel like putting out, I and many others will gladly be here to watch it and support you as best we can :)
thank you 💜
Yes, please know that we will support you in whatever you do.
What are your favorite comfort shows and movies? Definitely adding Chef to my list now haha
It's been the Simpsons and through a rough life I know far too much lol
Friends, The Back to the Future trilogy, most Disney movies…
Recently, I've been rewatching Disney's Gargoyles. Other than that. Community has been my most rewatched series for a few years now.
The Owl House, Amphibia, Ducktales (2017), and Gravity Falls are more recent shows that I'll binge or rewatch every so often, usually in succession
I used to rewatch Phineas and Ferb a whole lot until my nephew started binging it.
Star Trek The Next Generation
Currently 'Owl House', 'Leverage', 'Dark Angel', and 'Dead Like Me'. 'Farscape' and 'Deep Space Nine' in the past and probably again in the future.
Around this type of year I like to watch 'Trick 'r Treat' and 'Over the Garden Wall' as well. Winter time is for Christmas episodes of shows, enjoy the 'Grimm' episodes especially, even as I look back cringing at it's copaganda.
This man manages to make videos on topics I've never cared for in my entire life and make me interested in listening to him talking about it for 30mins to an hour each time
I haven't seen it yet, but i bet Scott was Redd Herring all along
Pup named Scooby Doo is a great show to relax with. It cheers up anyone in a sour mood and really brings a chill atmosphere thanks to the humor and beautiful jazz music. I'm glad you've made another great video and please- dedicate some time to yourself. Anytime you don't feel like doing something- take time to ease your mind, body and soul!
absolutely! it's helped me get through this rough time
He says scoobtober like he doesn’t talk about scoob all the time… and i love him so much
As someone who also discovered they are neurodivergent over the past few months, I hope you know how much I appreciated you talking about your ADHD diagnosis ❤️
Hey thanks Owen!
@@NerdSyncProductions Aww… as someone with ADHD as well, thank you so much Scott for everything you’ve said! ❤️
Scott's videos 🤝 APNSD's soundtrack

thanks Isaiah!
@@NerdSyncProductions Of course dude!
@@WilliamTarver848 Thanks dude!
Man I can't believe Scott commissioned a cartoon intro for James Bond Jr. Because there's no way that's a real thing, right?
I could have spent my money on a new set or a fake intro to James Bond Jr. and I think I spent it wisely haha
It was real... I was there.
"James Bond, Jr. chases S.C.U.M. all over the world!!"
James Bond Jr. destorys his uncle's prized Aston Martin DB5, which is then rebuilt into a red sports car as a gift to Jr. from Bond Sr. (the uncle, remember).
Did that really happen, or did I just imagine the sort of nonsense one would expect judging by the intro alone?
I'll never tell.
Fun fact. That should be James Bond the 2nd. Jr is for your child, the 2nd is for someone who’s not your kid. So I think it’s canon that James Bond was truly the father.
@@craigtodd1008 Did you know that in this show, Daphne got her new boots dirty? It was hilarious!
There is literally nothing wrong with being formulaic, quite the opposite, being formulaic is so often a good thing.
When something is formulaic, it means it's predictable but being predictable also means that something is dependable! And dependability is a great thing, it's a form of stability every heathy human needs! After a long hard day, week or month do you want something strange, unfamiliar, or unknown? No, you want something familiar or formulaic so your brain/body and reset and relax.
You need these beacons of stability otherwise you're liable to go crazy! It's why human need (formulaic) schedules in their lives, they need a stable place to live, and need stable people around them. Being formulaic is the backbone of human society and that's a good thing!
Not only that, but are humans are literally programed to recognize and enjoy formulaic things in media. That was the entire argument behind Campbell's Hero's Journey. He argued that a plethora of stories throughout human history followed the same basic structure that appeals to humans on a biological level. And because these stories appealed to us on this biological level, they were easily understood and enjoyed by humans.
But recently, a lot of creators/storytellers are putting too much focus on making modern media "new" or radically different just for the sake of it. It's likee being new of different is automatically good! Such a philosophy is a direct response to the formulaic and it's missing the entire point of why being formulaic is so important! The formulaic represents dependability and stability in stories and that's a great thing. It lets us understand stories on an intimate level and even lets us identify and analyze differences in the formula when they do emerge.
Like the Hero's Journey is a story structure that has been at work for thousands of years yet I see people calling it "tired" or "boring" or "predicable". They are essentially calling it obsolete but it can't be obsolete when our brains are programed to enjoy it. And you can tell lots of different hero journey stories even when the same fundamental structure is. the same. Same with Scooby Doo, every mystery is different even when the formula is the same.
Look, I'm not trying change, innovation or things that are new are bad. Change can be great and people need to expand their boundaries. All that I am saying is that change, innovation, or the new isn't automatically good just because it's different and we shouldn't act as if being formulaic bad thing and needs to be eliminated. Formulaic-ism is rooted in the human psyche and instead of fighting this fundamental part of our brain, we should be embracing it and using it as a tool to tell and understand stories. That's the best and most efficient way to tell impactful *and* enjoyable stories.
*Taking notes*
And it should be noted that the juxtaposition of formula versus innovation can make said changes even more impactful! Or that formulaic stories can form the backbone, but be used to explore more complex and thought provoking ideas! You need a status quo or a formula within your story so it remains internally consistent, (otherwise you’re story is gonna be all over the place) and having aspects of a story be consistent and reliable can be a real source of comfort, which prevents the audience from being to jarred. It’s all about striking the right balance of tried and true and innovative storytelling!
Scott! My dude! I hope you are feeling better after the rollercoaster of life changes and mental challenges. Your videos are always spectacular; well-researched, informative, and entertaining! Thank you for keeping us updated and keeping the channel going. I wish you the best because you are the best!
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it!
I will never dislike a someone talking about their panic attacks. For those that have been through it, can be scary. Wish the best for you.
Also almost spit out my drink hearing you like Kiki delivery service. Always suprises me when a non anime youtuber says they like an anime.
Kiki is hardly anime it’s just a straight up great film
This is my introduction to you. The first time you have ever crossed my recommended.
I think you’re great. Inspiring. Relatable.
Thanks for this video. I came here because I love Scooby Doo, and found feelings.
You have always been an extremely talented story teller, and you will soon be able to make more elaborate videos again! As a fellow depressed 30-something with lots of anxiety problems as well as ADHD (that wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood), NerdSync works like a comfort show for me. I realise that this post will be completely drowned in your massive comment section, but know that you are really making a difference and we are many who can relate to what you are going through.
I felt the need to let you know that, simpler set or not, this video still very much felt aesthetically like a NerdSync video.
Don't ever start to doubt that we'll lose interest in you over something so trivial, Scott. We will always want to hear your input on these subjects.
I've learned a massive amount from your videos, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so for years to come.
This is amazing and brought me so much joy. I loved this show! You’re a legend! Keep up all the great work!
I was thinking about this today. Somebody told me spilling random thoughts in my journals is very therapeutic, but I don't write something unless I feel like it's worth writing. Like you with talking.
I feel stuck working on my own projects a lot of the time. Depression and panic attacks are stressful. I'm glad you're feeling joy. I'll be praying for you.
Man not until finding you did I realize I have a long history with scooby doo without even realizing it.
Id say that what’s new scooby doo is my personal favorite since it’s the one I grew up with. That being said mystery inc is second on the list but I relent it’s definitely the better show. A pup actually lands third place but all things considered I’d say that’s pretty good. As is the show.
Pretty goooood.
All three are exellent shows!
I actually had to pause the video for like a minute just to laugh at Van Ghoul’s “20 nightmares” joke. God, I probably need sleep.
My go-to binge list:
Movie: Shawshank Redemption
Cartoons: Justice League / JLU series
Anime: Hajime no Ippo
Also, I've been rewatching your videos during the pandemic, and I've watched the Endgame Thor video probably the most, whenever anxiety hits me like a m*f*er truck before sleeping. So, thank you Scott for getting me through the times.
Good luck with everything going forward and congratulations on learning something new about yourself (As someone with Aspergers I relate to the feeling of suddenly having a bunch of stuff snap into place after learning more about how my brain works). Therapy is important and you are the best thing in your life you can invest in. I hope things start looking up for you and keep getting better.
p.s. I know it's a joke, but your brain is not broken. Just unique. Sometimes it feels like a good thing, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always 100% yours to explore.
Aww wouldn’t have guessed it was a standing desk but I heard those really help. But you’ve gone through enough and have been so brave to be working hard and that’s so awesome that you’ve got back to work! And I wonder if maybe you can’t work on the iron man maybe being a lot of stressful things going on in the show as well as your life But I really get this for you do whatever saves you makes you happy and mentally healthy ^-^
It's a great desk! No joke, I was looking at ordering one from them before they contacted me, Spooky timing! And yeah, I've got a lot going on, but hearing messages of support from people like you helps a lot. Thank you!
@@NerdSyncProductions Of course! Great people like you going through a lot deserve the most support from everyone around them ^-^
dude you made me cry at two am, jeeze! I didn't expect this vid to be quite so hopeful and heavy at the same time. A Pup Named Scooby Doo was defiantly my fav scoob show as a kiddo too. Hope you're doing ok
This show is my all time favorite Scooby variant, and MAN have I been waiting for this!
It is truly the best!
It's always been my fav too! I didn't watch it quite as much as the original as it wasn't on tv as often. But of all the serieses it's the opening for this one that has lodged its self forever in my mind as the, it is time to get excited song
I loved this show as a kid! I think I used to watch the re-runs on Boomerang, it was my favorite home sick cartoon. The artstyle and scooby were all so cute and fun! I think I even used to try and do the little dances they did back in kindergarten.
The James Bond, Jr. thing reminds me how Rick Flag, Jr. is the grandson of Rick Flag, Sr.
You've become my new favorite content creator of 2021, sorry about the Iron Man video and your recent struggles. I never really comment, or leave likes, or even venture to Patreon, but for you, I'll make that exception. I do hope you can beat your Demon in a Bottle someday, but if it's too much, so be it. Take care of yourself
My diagnosis for adhd as an adult was literally hands down the single most galvanizing moment of my adulthood. I'm glad to hear your story.
I love that you mentioned that how rewatching a media of comfort, because you already know what happens in the show, gives you a prediction of your feelings, which kind of gives you a bit of control over your mood, which as you said, makes a huge difference when you're going through darker/difficult episodes. I've felt stupidly guilty in the past watching various movies I knew were socially considered dumb, but were the trash I needed at the time, and I have negatively judged myself for watching that trash. So hearing you say that bit gave me some validation. My brain picked that trash for a reason, let me enjoy my trash, haha. And as an aside, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a show I enjoyed as a kid too! I don't ever hear it talked about, and while it's not a surprise coming from you, I'm glad you brought it up. Gave me some nostalgia feels x3 I'm glad you seem to be doing better, I hope things settle for you soon, and you can squeeze in some relaxation time :)
I find the vibe of your videos that you create from home feel really nice, cozy, and a lot more personable! It's super enjoyable, so don't feel like you need to stress about the set and stuff. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Haven't watched the full video yet, just at the beginning, but yes yay for normalizing talking about mental health problems and shout out to therapists.
I feel like I do it too much that people get annoyed with it haha
@@NerdSyncProductions If there are people reacting that way then they are part of the problem. They are part of why there’s a stigma against talking about mental health. Don’t listen to them, Scott. You’re doing great.
Thanks for sharing your panic attacks.
To be honest, I had taken a break after I finished my Master's and today I did my first job application, and have had this weird physical sort of pain in my chest, i.e. a light panic attack myself. and Honestly I have been praying, "Allah, show me that I'm not the only one who experiences this". And Lo and behold, this is the day you released THIS video.
Thanks a lot for sharing your struggle man, even though we don't know each other, it still means a lot!
Welcome to the ADHD squad. Keep an eye out for autism, it tends to be hanging around out of sight, waiting to pounce.
Joking aside, autism is wildly misunderstood by ADHD online personalities and content creators (as in people who make content about ADHD, not people who have ADHD and also make content) but is co-morbid with ADHD between 30% and 66% of time. It's actually more common in adult diagnosed people because the symptoms of one often compensate or mask the other. I was diagnosed with autism first and then ADHD 5 years later and it was so hard trying to get a handle on one without understanding the other.
Storybots and Octonauts were and are a huge comfort for me because there's nothing new and scary
It's just happy
I need that sometimes.
I literally just went to my own first medication appointment today for a mood disorder and ADHD without health insurance (Plus I start paying for a one-bedroom apartment in November and just started two new jobs last month and took a semester off school and other stuff) and I was exhausted and clicked this video without reading the full title cause I saw nerd sync and scooby doo and honestly this video felt really weirdly comforting in a strange way that I wasn't alone. I really hope things get better for you and thank you so much for being so open. I desperately needed something to stop me from potentially spiraling and this video really helped even if only temporarily.
I do the same thing I have about 4/5 shows from my childhood especially scooby doo; I still watch constantly if just takes me back to a different time in my life that was stress free and just happy. It’s hard to explain really
Hey man, you were important to my childhood
(I hope this doesn't make you feel worse lmaooo)
oh no i'm old!
@@NerdSyncProductions I like it when Daphne got her new boots dirty.
Keep doing what makes you happy because not only is that what’s most important before anything else Scott, but you also make the best content when you’re happy creating it! I know the Iron Man video would’ve been amazing but if it doesn’t make you happy then it’s not worth it. I can’t wait to see what comes next in Scoobtober!
Thank you for making something worth binge watching. I don’t watch any other RUclips videos more than 10 minutes due to my ADD (ADHD’s less fun cousin), but you are engaging, honest and fun, which keeps my brain intrigued. Our brains aren’t flawed, but we do need to be honest with ourselves and find the tools to keep us from being overwhelmed
On a technical note, your setup, video and audio quality were great. I have been feeling lately that the staged sets RUclipsrs use are a bit overused. The simpler, real life set works for me.
20:09 thats the reason my favorite ride in all of lego land is fairytale brook. Because i know everything there. Plus it was the first ride i went on during my first trip. As i was a little scared of roller coasters. And the fairytale brook brought comfort by being... simple and smooth
Scott, I wish you all the best. You seem like such a nice fellow.
thanks Brandon! 💜
The idea that your production value would affect how much I enjoy your videos is wild to me. I love your elaborate videos and the idea that you'd hold yourself to your own standards is painfully relatable but maybe we can have both? That said, I really appreciate you sharing this experience and please know I'll be watching either way.
PLEASE GOD WATCH CHEF. IT IS SUCH A HEARTWARMING GEM.
Yeah, Chef is fantastic. I didn’t think I would like it when my wife rented it years ago, but I loved it. Any time it’s on TV, I watch it.
Joy is happiness that does not depend on what happens. Joy, like compassion, is what you are, not what happens to you. And so it does not surprise me that in this time of things falling apart, that you find joy underneath the rubble.
You can talk about mental health and Scooby-Doo all you like. I will always be here for it, and judging by the comments, many of us will be here for it.
hey, thanks! 💜
@@NerdSyncProductions
Thank YOU
I also suffer from depression, and this video has inspired me to give Scooby-Doo a try as a warm emotional blanket. I expect positive results.
Your channel quickly became a personal favorite of mine. Highlight in personal. It's really comforting to just see someone talk about their issues in life. I deal with really similar issues actually, While I'm not officially diagnosed I'm about 90% positive that I am affected by it. On top of all this, comic book history is not something I ever thought I'd care about, but it's become one of the most fascinating subjects in my collection of interests. You have shown me how Deep Scooby Doo is. You showed me that SCOOBY DOO of all things is layered in ways I never imagined. Your content is so comforting and fun to watch. Please don't stop being yourself and making what you wanna make. (To the best of your ability.) I will watch every single one.
P.S. I need therapy bad 💀
It is always weird when it comes to creative fulfillment. Sometimes you just want to work on something that just isn't in your scope at the time. I keep getting ideas that would work amazing for a show, but I'm an author at best. I do not have a full animation studio to produce a show that I want. I just always try and make something that is mine.
Its means so so much how you are so honest and comfortable sharing as much as you do. As someone going through similar emotions and life changes, it is incredibly helpful to hear someone I admire share their experience. I feel a lot less alone. Your content is a comfort to me. Thank you, truly
Every video you make I go into it thinking I'll be here for a few minutes and leave, but that's not what happens! You make me stay here wanting more making me stay and watch for the whole video. That happens every single one of your videos! Another amazing and interesting video for someone who has never watched Scooby-Doo!
I cannot believe I can get you to stick around for Scoob videos when you haven't watched it! Amazing!
It's good to see you back, Scott. I join you in living the questions of fulfillment, limitations and the creativity that can come from constriction. I was so inspired by the ideas you shared in the collage video, I emailed you an offer to share with you a collage method that I teach. That offer remains open 😊
I haven't watched this show in 30 years and I still have the theme song in my head occasionally. That and Bonkers.
Hey man I just wanna say that I am new to this channel but every single video I have watched I have loved. I genuinely laugh from your jokes, you are the first youtuber to do that in a long time. I will never be tired of hearing about your life especially if you are not in a good place. If you feel the need to share, then share away. Your fans will listen. We care about you a lot.
Nerdsync is something that has helped me out in 2020, and here, when I'm feeling extra low, a new video. Hope you get better Scott
I just want to give Scott hugs and Reese's because he is an amazing human being who deserves amazing things!
Always loved this show, along with all the other old animated Scooby shows. I'm glad there's someone out there talking about it, a lot of this stuff seems to be kind of forgotten. Loving your channel, keep it up!
first of all, 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo is my favorite. 2nd, your video is perfect. tbh ive only really watched your scooby doo videos and if you didn't bring up the whole studio thing. i wouldnt have even noticed. The video is perfect thank you.
Me watching Rocket Man 8 times over the last 2 weeks because I too am incredibly depressed. So like. This is really comforting?
we're in this together, Kelsey! haha
LOVE this show! That Iceman song is one I’ve been singing for decades cause it stuck with me that long! Tom & Jerry Kids and The Raccoons are also comfort shows for me along with this one so I get it. Great vid, man!
The new set looks great. Even though it doesn’t have any props or anything in the background, It feels very comforting. I really love it more than any of the previous sets you have used.
So a couple of hours ago, I commented something where I spoke of how I really loved your content and that rewatching your stuff recently finally gave me the push to get into the comics themselves and not just the media based on the characters. Then I deleted it due to being self conscious and it causing me to delete it. I have a lot of anxiety myself and a lot of it takes the form of me second guessing and doubting whether or not what I say is the correct thing to say and whether or not I may say the wrong things. But in the end, as much as I struggle to determine what's the right thing to say, I still want you to know that I really respect you and love what you do. When it comes to anxiety, we may struggle with our problems, but in the end we need to push on and hope that due to our efforts that things go right for us
Me and my dad got the DVD for Scooby Doo to and I’ve consistently watched it at least once a week
amazing!
Scott, we watch your vids because of you. Your personality and honesty comes through in each and every video you make. Thank you for sharing with us.
Just a few minutes in and I feel the need to say, don’t worry. Your audience, (me included), love your videos and just want to support you. I’ve had the largest panic attack and emotional breakdown a couple days age. Your videos are pieces of comfort. Hope you feel a bit better at some point though.
I am so sorry for the challenges you are dealing with. But not being ok is ok and you will figure these problems out and you'll get better. Your channel is a favorite of mine and your videos are engaging and entertaining. Take care and be well
love pup named scooby. my personal fave of the scooby content
me too!
Hey Scott, regardless of if you're doing Scoob, old cartoons, Bob Ross or literally anything, I love your content so much.
Glad you're feeling a bit better, and I hope you can find some good topics (or at least some context) to do videos that will keep you energised.
Hang in there, I'll be here to watch your context when ever you put it out.
This video really helped… even though it’s about scooby doo lol. The last two months was a shitshow and this really helped me feel not alone, so thanks scott
Also, chef IS a comfort movie
Hang in there, man. I've been binging episodes of MST3K off and on for the last nearly 30 years to deal with depression (~90 minutes to shut off my brain & laugh? Yes, please and thank you!), so I can fully understand the need to retreat into something familiar for a while. I say do what you have to do - occasionally you just have to sit on the couch and do 'nothing'.
Mental issues can feel like a constant battle. Fighting to get from one day to the next, sometimes from one hour to the next. Sometimes just from one breath to the next, and it can be exhausting. But even Sun Tzu knew that at times the best tactic is to retreat, to regroup, to rest. Stepping back is not failure, it's strategy. And when you've had your rest, and it's time to get up off the couch and take some action, you're a lot better equipped (even if only for a a moment, but often a moment is all you need) to make yourself stand up and get back into the fray.
That's all. Love your videos. thank you for doing what you do.
I started to watch just for the known bits of the comicverse, but You're such a sincere, honest and passionate creator, that I will definitely stay on this channel and watch every time You will post a new video.
All the best for You and Emily and rest of Your gang!
Scott, please don't project your anxiety onto us. We (or at least I) love what you do, and will wait as long as you need to make your art.
This video meant a lot to me. I’ve been struggling lately and feeling stuck in a loop, and I’ve been finding comfort in really formulaic videos and shows (obviously this one is an exception 😂).
Your timing always feels perfect for whatever I’m going through too. So thank you for continuing to make your videos!
Wishing you the best!
Thanks for opening up about your struggles and thanks for doing what you do, Scott. Your personality, humour, and observations are the draw, not a fancy set or equipment. Take care of yourself and focus on guiding your own ship. You’re gonna do great.
(Incidentally I’ve been dealing with my own struggles with anxiety and a recent ADHD diagnosis, so it’s hugely comforting to hear creators I admire discuss their own mental health so candidly. It’s a brave and difficult thing!)
A life lesson that returns like every October for me: Octobers are complicated. It's good to see you again.
Facts
I feel that more than ever.
I have been putting off this video and well, all new videos really, bc I was dealing with my own episode of depression and just seeing the word depression made me feel so much anguish, but I'm glad that after watching this video I'm up to date (I'm ok now btw afsfs)
I really wanted to watch this video bc this is my favourite scoob show too! I'm from a spanish speaking country, I didn't have friends when I grew up expect for my lil bro, we watched pup after school and on weekends mornings. I know full well I enjoyed it a lil bit more, I was the one looking out for pup time and we always stopped what we were doing to watch it together. I was honestly baffled when trough this channel I came to know this show was not popular, but it feels comforting knowing that someone out there loves this show too 🤧
Try to do what makes you proud of yourself Scoot, I honestly don't care if you have a access to expensive cameras or more than one set. I found my "comfort show" are old videos of my favourite yt channels. I don't know if you will read this or if you remember, but during that time I commented in one of your community post that I had been watching your old videos recently and I couldn't stop feeling better while watching vids of like five years ago. I enjoy them, I honestly do. I like your content, not the budget. I hope you can continue doing videos that you, yourself, like :)
Oh my god Scott, for literally the last year I’ve been noticing and being like “Scott sounds very adhd as well” and literally JUST saw a video the other day about the creators and people we idolize being the people most similar to us, most of my friends are adhd as well by that same osmosis. I’m excited and scared as well for a lot of new art and life changes and job and comic stuff I’m working on, but we always got this. Even when we don’t.
Shout-out to Neurodiversity! It's about learning what works for you sometimes, learning that you are better at some things and worse at others, & most of all learning that it's ok and that it is just another thing that makes you the person you are.
I am so happy you reviewed this. I loved this show as a kid and I feel like it doesn't get enough love. But you are right it is the most fun version.
Hey, haven’t finished the video yet. But you just said something about being annoying about talking about your mental health. I just want to say that I find you talking about your mental health genuinely helpful to me. Like it makes me feel less alone to hear about you dealing with the same stuff. You are allowed to also not talk about your mental health of course. I also enjoy your nerd content when it’s less personal. But never feel bad about talking about what you want to, even if you want to talk about yourself for a bit.
Scott, I have been watching and enjoying your channel for 5 to 6 years from when it was just you making these videos, to when there was a team supporting you with banners and intros, through the adpocalypse, as you ‘rebuilt’ your channel over the last recent years, and I will continue to enjoy your channel as you downsize and work from home (like a lot of the world has started to). Thank you for all the amazing content over these years and I am looking forward and excited to see what new content this new era brings.
Hmmm, I sent Scott the dvds of the Iron Man cartoon, hoping to help him to continue his series. I did not want to give him anxiety attacks! Hope you're getting through it ok Scott!
Omg that could feel horrible. Don't put that on your shoulders though dude.
The theme song gets stuck in my head every time I hear or read "A pup named Scooby Doo"
Hey Scott, I just wanted to say tha k you for being you. Your videos have always been a major comfort to me.
I hope you're taking care of yourself man, seriously.
We come to see you and your outstanding views of the things you love. And though the quality may not meet your standards, the quality is still personal and excellently written. I am not a fan of Scooby Doo, but I am a fan of your views of the franchise. So happy that you found some footing of which to rebound. Just know that you are doing fine. Keep going, Scott. As long as you keep growing, this is just a moment. But as for your channel... You are still excellent. Thank you for all that you create.
Dude your anxiety towards the video is completely valid no matter how it “sounds” I hope you get better man sending tons of love and support !!!!!!
Scott, another great video. Whatever creative pursuits you undertake, I wish you the best.
After watching them for more than half a decade, there's a bit of nostalgia that I hold for the more formulaic early videos you did, which I frequently rewatch. But your work of the past few years has been my favorite--and that has nothing to do with production values
I was just diagnosed this year with ADHD. I’m 35 and thought I just had anxiety (GAD) since I was 16. For me, the diagnosis is freeing, but I’m still trying to find a medication that works. Thank you for using your voice to make me feel less lost and alone.
Scott, I've recently been filling in the gaps of the episodes I've missed the past couple of years, especially thanks to my new Nebula subscription! Nebula doesn't have a comment section, so I'll tell you here how much I've been enjoying the experience. This vid in particular spoke to me, as a fellow newly-diagonosed neurodivergent person who puts too much pressure on himself. I found I related to a lot of your experiences, and it's comforting to see someone communicate that experience through such thoughtful and engaging content (bleugh).
I wish you good mental health, and hope that you continue to work in ways that creatively satisfy you.
If you do that, chances are that what you end up with will be pretty damn good.
I felt very validated by this video, I've been there with my depression and anxiety and I've never subscribed to someone so fast. I've never wanted to support someone so much thank you so much you're doing great!!
Bro, this video was incredibly well made! Just want you to know that most people's expectations aren't always reflecting yours.
As long as you're happy with them, I feel like that's all wet need.
Thank you.
This video brought a lot of comfort to me. I'm fifteen, I have (undiagnosed) anxiety, OCD and possibly depression.
I often find things like children's media so comforting and it really helps to know I'm not the only one ❤ take care
Oh Scott! Thank you SO much! I am SO glad to find out I am not the ONLY person in the whole world who watched James Bond Jr! I LOVED that show! I watched it everyday after school!
