He was probably a bit of a nerd at school and likely have been bullied and mocked by his schoolmates. He's trying to shed that nerd image. That's why he seems really insecure about people finding out he was in the chess club. I myself think being in the chess club is really cool but he obviously thinks differently.
I love that the tsa agent recognized a minor celebrity figure that probably created some of the agents personal favorite games and instead of saying something normal chose to mentally molest todd with his core memories of being in the chess club
"If you want to earn respect in this continent, out-lander, you must join at least one of many factions in town. There's Fighters guild, Mages guild, thieves guild, Imperial legion, Dark Brotherhood and chess club"
That stupid yearbook image bothers me. In the quote where he talked about the chess club, he said “I was making games when I was 12 years old and the other kids would say blah blah blah, go back to the chess club you dork” They found his high school yearbook. Not middle school.
Yeah you might be right, I never considered he could of done Chess club in middle school, not high school. I assumed he was anyways, they only have chess club in high school where I’m at
@@newginslab6993 it’s funny cause I actually did chess club in middle school. Never was very good but I ranked 4th in a little tournament of 30 once so that was pretty dope
I mean, getting "elected" class president can easily have just been that not much of anyone else bothered to do it I mean, class president isn't prom king/queen
@@adamxx3nope. In my high school the class preisdent is just some normal, slightly nerdy kid. People like him but no one treats him like a big deal. He was practically elected automatically. But everyone knows the Homecoming king and queen.
@@newginslab6993 nah I was tryna find on the yearbook you showed but it wasnt listed there lmao the way he says he was in chess club looks like a lie on vids Ive seen lol
@@hardlybreathe93 I know it's been years since this comment was posted, but the yearbook is from high school or college, and in the Chess Club video clip he recalls the days when he was like 12, so probably still in elementary or middle school. He could be in "the" chess club in that school
I got my eye on you Vault Dweller. DeathTown doesn't take kindly to outsiders. Finish up your business and get the hell out of here. Unless you want to stay for the chess club.
Playing chess is cool now but I imagine back then he was definitely bullied for playing chess. Up until a few years ago, it was considered a nerd’s sport.
Why does he get so uncomfortable all the time, and why does it seem like these interviews are made like this on purpose, just to make him feel even more uncomfortable
Is that Michael Scott?
Thought you were internet historian.
Why does he wince in pain when ever the chess club is mentioned? What happened to you Todd?

@@KDErkisi yeah, probably is that what you said. And I think a chess club is cool too!
@@KDErkisi nerd alert!!
@@KDErkisi man shouldn't need to shed that image anymore. Microsoft paid 9 billion for him.
@@troposphere9574 jock wannabes alert!
I will make it a point to go to an E3 and yell "hey it's the guy from the chess club" at him
His leather jacket he rocks at e3 gives him +5 Perception and Charisma , he will handle it like a boss
"You dork, go back to the chess club!"
Do it.
You're probably not the first
Is it called e3 because everyone there used to be in the chess club?
I love that the tsa agent recognized a minor celebrity figure that probably created some of the agents personal favorite games and instead of saying something normal chose to mentally molest todd with his core memories of being in the chess club
You can tell his time in the chess club still haunts him to this day.
Todd Howard always gives interview like he working in Dunder Mufflin
It helps that his voice sounds a bit similar to Steve Carell's so he definitely gives off Michael Scott vibes.
The sequel we didn't deserve, but the one we needed
Like how he says "it was in a video I did for oblivion " like we haven't all seen it
I applaud that TSA guy. You meet Todd howard, and all you have to say to him is “you were in the chess club”.
Respect
Honestly that was brutal lol 😂
I imagine it must have felt to Todd like a weird Oblivion NPC moment where they walk up to you and greet you based on the guild you joined
TSA guy is a legend. He didn't do it for the fame, and yet the legends of his sayings made their way to the internet
"If you want to earn respect in this continent, out-lander, you must join at least one of many factions in town. There's Fighters guild, Mages guild, thieves guild, Imperial legion, Dark Brotherhood and chess club"
*"AND THEN HE CHECKED ME OUT"*
Degenerates
He broke the first rule of chess club
Truly amazing that we live in a world where memes can get back to the creator of them.
or maybe that guy actually remembers him from the chess club
sixteen times the detail
Todd Howard hey Todd
LOL
4 times the size of fallout 4
all of this just works
poor guy looks like he's going to cry.
Sixteen times the chess club membership.

This guy gets it!!
@@newginslab6993 I was in the chess club in elementary school for like a week. Never understood chess, never really joined a club again. Fun times.
@@garrettcarroll5808 yeah it’s a tough game to master I know how to play but I always got beat in HS, some people are amazing at that game
@@newginslab6993 it’s funny cause I actually did chess club in middle school.
Never was very good but I ranked 4th in a little tournament of 30 once so that was pretty dope
Catching a Todd in the wild is more unlikely than catching a leprechaun riding a unicorn
i heared they live in swamps
This should be the opening title in the oblivion remake
You're todd howard? You were in the chess club.
Also, you've been selected for a random strip search.
I like how Todd tries to make it seem like he was bullied in high school but he was literally the class president in his senior year
I mean, getting "elected" class president can easily have just been that not much of anyone else bothered to do it
I mean, class president isn't prom king/queen
Lol class presidents were always nerds, nobody wanted to be that. Noone bothered
@@cheydinal5401it kind of is though
@@adamxx3nope. In my high school the class preisdent is just some normal, slightly nerdy kid. People like him but no one treats him like a big deal. He was practically elected automatically.
But everyone knows the Homecoming king and queen.
Im tryna find where it says he's in the Chess Club
Also, the face he makes looks like that old man from LA Noire trying not to be obvious lying
hardlybreathe93 there’s a video he did for oblivion, you can just simply look up “Chess club” and I think you can find it lol
@@newginslab6993 nah I was tryna find on the yearbook you showed but it wasnt listed there lmao the way he says he was in chess club looks like a lie on vids Ive seen lol

He seems so socially awkward but at the same time he has this odd dorky charisma that makes it impossible to hate the man.
Obligatory comment to help the channel out
He's trying so hard not to laugh out loud from remembering it lmao

"yes I was in a chess club"
The worst thing other being fired by Todd is being dragged to The Chess Club
he brings that same energy in this second video hahah
He probably had ptsd from the chess club lmao
Playing chess is cool now but I imagine back then he was definitely bullied for playing chess. Up until a few years ago, it was considered a nerd’s sport.
He sounds exactly like Brendon Shepard
He called it "San Fran," all respect has been lost.
He was born in the 70's
Todd took that personally
Why does he get so uncomfortable all the time, and why does it seem like these interviews are made like this on purpose, just to make him feel even more uncomfortable
Buddy it’s probably hard for him to keep up with all these lies. 16 TIMES THE DETAIL
It seems like it because he is so ashamed about the chess club
underrrated video
So anyways.. he's in the chess club...
Chad TSA guy
TSA... they just work
I doubt it.
is that casey neistat?
We live in a simulation
Better late than never lmao.
Yuh
Do we have *any* evidence that he actually was in the chess club at any point? Other than him saying he was
Why would he lie about that?
Why does his face looking kinda ai
Skyrim was shit so is starfield
You take that back, or todd will appear in your bedroom at 3AM and drag you to the chess club.
Imagine if todd gained 30lbs of muscle and went back to chess club to settle the score
