@@lacey_heather birthday cake is probably referencing the "is it cake" video, and the TP is when he tested different brands of toilet paper to see which is best... spoiler alert. Scott brand TP didn't win
Is the mom gonna die and then he ends up with Robin? Are they gonna roll back Barney’s character development to do it? NAH! That would be crazy! The show couldn’t POSSIBLY do something that stupid.
Lol and then him predicting it might be some nurse who helps him through an embarrassing accident--he's pretty much predicting that things worked out with Stella LOL! (even tho she's a doc)
I actually think the ending ages pretty well unlike some other bits of the show, I remember it being confusing/disappointing at the time, after watching it through the other month without it being a surprise and it was kinda perfect.
I completely forgot that Barney proposed to a stripper… Scott actually nailed even more predictions but I really just didn’t want to admit he crushed predicting a show I spent years watching… 10/10 thanks for having me ❤
I was so happy seeing someone named Dominic to be an expert on HIMYM! As I am also a HUGE fan and also named Dominik! Subscriber to your channel automatically. We Doms must stick together.
Honestly I've always thought HIMYM was 1 of those shows even an outsider could predict it. like Do you think Harry Potter fights Voldemort in the end?? Like YES, duh. 😭 The real joy of those stories is the journey not the destination. I made myself crings. Ew.
ALSO! We actually find out the Mother's name in like season 1 episode 9, I think? I didn't catch it until i did a rewatch, but Ted is telling the kids about something that happened in a strip club and he mentions a name, I think he jokes that that's their mother, and it cuts away to the kids going, "WHAT?!" but once you find out the Mother's name you realize they believed it because the stripper has her name. I lost my mind when I caught that! So Scott actually kind of got that we find out her name very early!
He forgot to mention that Barney actually ALMOST marries a STRIPPER named Quinn before Robin, also the whole plot with the mother being introduced early on and then coming back could almost perfectly match Victoria’s plot line, since she was intended to be the mother after all…
I was gunna say that, how did he leave Quinn out, I was pretty gobsmacked when he predicted Barney would marry a stripper. However, Victoria was never actually meant to be the mother, she was introduced as a contingency plan in case the show got cancelled before they could get to the intended ending
@@joshplant Well that's the thing, the mother dying and getting back with Robin was always the plan. The identity of the mother was in flux. First, it was Victoria and then Stella.
If youtube and this comment are both still around by 2076, then no matter what happens that year, people are gonna see this and go, "DID JOEL PREDICT 2076??"
Okay, Dom actually missed something that would bump your score up a bit. Barney actually proposed to a stripper that he was dating. It’s not a prostitute, but still pretty accurate for only seeing the first episode
Wait, they didn't marry, but I thought Barney did get engaged to Quinn something. It's absurd how good Scott is, well except the Narcos one, he was way off.
@@gustavoclarindo101 True he said, dark. I am saying bad. I actually never recommend this show because of its end, but I like what this whole video is: watch 1 episode, then spoil the whole thing and let someone enjoy the journey since they won't enjoy the destination.
The thing about HIMYM is that Victoria was originally planned to be the mother, and they do introduce her very early on. So that prediction, while wrong, is still somewhat consistent with the writers' thought process.
I was going to write a comment brining up that he said "he meets her early, and then she leaves but later comes back" and how this ties in with the Victoria storyline, but you nailed it already!
Alright but for How I Met your Mother, he was hot on the trail for a LOT more than his expert friend told him. He was filled in on to the whole Stella thing where Ted got an embarrassing tattoo and he was her patient, but in Scott's prediction he also said "maybe the mother is introduced early on in the series and then she goes away for a lkng time and they meet at an event or something later on" In Ted's top 3 most serious relationships (the third being the mother of course), this man got 2 of them real damn close. Victoria does leave to Germany for a number of years and her and Ted meet again much later while she's catering the architects ball (big event). Wow Also for a bonus he did guess barney would get married to a prostitute when in fact he got *engaged* to a *stripper*. A little bit colder there but still pretty close. So honestly all that combined with his scrapped "the mother died" theory that was wild. Great video
well not to mention i would say that she is introduced in a way that does warrant giving Scott credit, and im especially talking about Scott saying "and the kids will be like "ohhh waaahh?! that woman was her the whole time!??!" and if memory serves me the kids had a similar reaction. plus everything else you said
I think he fully explains to the camera. But gives his friends a list of his predictions. So we hear his whole thought process but they only see what he writes down.
@@jenniferneel99 The Dylan videos are quite different than this. All he does is watch through it and react in real time. The concepts are very different in execution. This was much more involved than a Dylan video. Those are fine I guess, but this was more interesting.
@@claybarber5451 I don't what makes Dylan's videos less involved. He talks directly to us and expresses his ideas to us. The only difference is that Dylan is a reaction channel and he didn't bring others in his videos. Also he watches the last episode. I just think you like Scott more than Dylan (nothing wrong with that it just seems like you're trying to diminish the work he puts into those videos).
Victoria actually almost followed the plot line of being introduced early on and then coming back as the mother later. that was their backup plot line so scott was WAY too close to correct
Victoria was going to be mother. HIMYM filmed first 13 episodes and if they were not given more money then Ted going to bakery was going to be end with "and this is how i meet your mother"
Narcos is actually really accurate in its story. I'm Colombian and my mom grew up in the 80s in Medellin. I watched the show with her and she rarely made comments about inaccuracies most of the comments were about how Netflix portrays the people (some people or organizations are portrayed as absolute heroes or villains). Which ties into the reason the disclaimer is there, which is because the people portrayed that are still alive are very touchy about their part in those events (for obvious reasons). From Pablo's family to even the Colombian government, everyone has their own way that they would like to spin the story. All the major events you see in the show, however, did happen unfortunately. The tanks, the shootouts, the bombs. It's a really dark part of our history and a good example of the term 'magical realism.' Where real events seem so bizarre that they seem made up.
I think the biggest inaccuracy I've heard about was the character of Horacio Carillo who wasn't a real person, just loosely based on someone who did not die in a bombastic ambush where Pablo himself executed him.
Also I have to ask, did you or your mom find the accents annoying or jarring? I don't understand any Spanish, but I heard it is quite obvious to natives that the actors aren't Colombian.
@@Lefaseer If she did, she didn't mention it. I definitely found them jarring, but I got used to it after a while. It was always a little weird hearing a conversation between someone without an accent and someone with though.
@@Lefaseer As a Colombian I think the most jarring thing was Escobar himself who is portrayed by a brazilian, and if you speak spanish you can definitely tell that it isn't his first language. It isn't Giancarlo Espósito as Gus levels of jarring but it's still kinda distracting.
"I think it's safe to say I'm never going to do this again" is the absolute perfect comedic foreshadowing for this continuing as a series with Scott always getting predictions wrong.
My mouth dropped when he said the mother dies But him guessing Tracy would get introduced early on wasn't off, at one point Victoria was slated to be the mother so it's not far off. Barney did get engaged to a stripper and was completely serious about her, so he was SOOO close there. They also did introduce "Tracy" early on. They told us her name was going to be Tracy! When the stripper at the Thanksgiving or whatever it was strip show, she says "my real name's Tracy" and the kids go "WHAT??" We assume he made everything up, but the name was her real name, because of course the kids know their mother's name!
I watched the show as it was airing, and we had message boards dedicated to keep track of clues, her name being Tracy was always one of the few things we knew were “fact” lol my favorite though was the theory that the mom was the woman he runs into on St Patrick’s Day (he literally runs into a woman and apologizes and they smile at each other and walk away) and since the mom did end up being at that party, I think that they may have planned that at one point!
honestly the whole "mother dies" thing was so friggin obvious that fans actually dismissed that prediction early on. "It can't be that. It's too predictable"
@@JoshJackson10 Well, a combination of that plus the fact that the entire final season (and you could say the whole show) was essentially reversed in a two-minute ending.
The thing about the How I Met Your Mother finale, is that while it makes sense with the beginning of the series, it literally ruined all of the middle and final part. The finale was pre-planned from the beginning with an important scene being pre-filmed during season 1/2 before the actors for the children grew too old. But then the show naturally progress and change quite drastically throughout the 9 seasons, to the point that the planned finale doesn't make sense and completely ignore (or even reverse/undid) the character progressions that happened in the last few seasons. But instead of changing the finale, they stuck with the pre-planned one and it resulted in one of the most hated series finale ever in TV history. We are talking Games of Throne level of hatred among fans. It turns out that the official "alternate ending" is more liked by fans because it cut off most of the bullshit that is the original pre-planned ending.
@@purple77ize Nah, we spent a whole season on just Barney and Robin's wedding just for them to get no marriage screentime before they divorce. I quite dislike.
A prime example that planning out your ending ahead of time doesn't guarantee it will be good, especially in a long-form narrative. Things change and don't always go as planned over a years-long story, so it's better to come up with an organic ending once you get to that point rather than sticking to a pre-planned finale that might not even apply to the established characters anymore. On the inverse, you have Breaking Bad, a show that only had its first season planned out but then had to change plans almost immediately due to the 2008 writers' strike. It was making things up as it went, but carefully considered every scene before deciding on what would and would not work. The result is a show that *feels* like it was meticulously planned out from start to finish even though it wasn't. It isn't about how much planning you do, it's about taking the time and care to consider what would actually be best for the story instead of recklessly putting pen to paper or stubbornly adhering to initial ideas that no longer work.
You should team up with Dylan is in trouble with his first and last series. Make a prediction for the ending after the first ep, then see if you're right and speculate about the middle part with after the last episode
0:21 I do that. I typically narrow it down to a simple list of options. It’s awful because I love mysteries but I always figure it out within the first 15 minutes
Nah Scott, you deserved an A- for HIMYM. I know that’s not what you submitted to Dom, but getting the main twist of the entire show straight off the cuff like that deserves credit. Give these predictions 1 more go dude.
I’m confused where you get this score from C+ is the perfect score he didn’t officially guess the death of the mother thinking it was too obvious he specifically said Barney would marry a hooker so can’t consider engagement to Quinn that and if you can it would be half point if anything his guess about the mother being introduced early then dipping for awhile although happening with technically both Victoria and Stella wasn’t the way he met the mother none of his guesses were overly correct. The score could legitimately be C- or D+ Due to the only thing him getting right is Barney gets married at some point. All his other submitted guesses were although close to plot points due to specifics are incorrect
Narcos was actually an extremely accurate retelling of the Colombian drug trade. Some events and characters were made up to show a wide range of how certain things happened or how a group of people operated such as search bloc. Javier Peña and Steve Murphy were the real DEA agents that helped bring down the Medellin Cartel. The finale is actually about the Calli Cartel and not Escobar which would definitely throw you through a loop. (I’m huge history buff on the drug war)
I mean they still did take creative liberties as it is tv but the only glaring one is how differently Colonel Horacio Carrillo and Colonel Hugo Martinez were in the show to come to realize that Colonel Hugo Martinez was the only leader of the first search bloc.
Apparently Jason Segel didn't know that Lily was about to tell him that his dad had died, so his reaction was ad-libbed, and that makes it so much more heart-wrenching. 😭😭😭
Marshall was legit the one and only reason I watched the entire HIMYM series (as it was airing.) I had the biggest crush on Jason Segel when I was younger… and we have the same birthday, January 18th. 😂
Wait, he actually got the Barney theory almost right. He does gets engaged to Quinn who was a stripper but the wedding gets called off. He actually got a lot of the essence of the show bang on.
It's super interesting that while Barney doesn't find a prostitute in Cabo, he does have a huge relationship with and almost gets married to a stripper from the city.
I remember being so upset with the series finale of HIMYM, that I was pacing in my dorm room. And Scott saying the mom being dead is a bad fan theory is exactly how I felt watching it live. I hated so much about the finale, and I’m kind of glad Scott didn’t put years into the show to watch the terrible ending.
For those who don't want spoilers HIMYM 1st episode: 2:14 - 7:00 HIMYM accuracy: 7:06 - 11:11 Narcos 1st episode: 11:11 - 15:47 Narcos accuracy: 15:54 - 20:39 Note: I was careful with the Narcos timestamps because i was avoiding spoilers, so sorry if they're off a bit. :)
@@calebspencer3451 haha i don’t actually. also, i assume the show isnt 100% accurate to real life, so there are probably some details within the story that are changed or adjusted for entertainment purposes.
When he said that the mother was going to be introduced in earlier season, leaves and returns in later seasons, that actually reminds me of Victoria and how the writer of HIMYM initially wanted her to be the mother.
So for Narcos: - I don't think Murphy or Pena ever talk to Escobar. - Pablo does have a Brother-in-law that operates a part of his empire, but he doesn't ruin anything. Escobar's mom is actually to one who leads a group of mercenaries to their hide out, causing them to get ambushed and Tata's brother dies. - Also, Narcos has 3 seasons, Escobar dies in Season 2. Season 3 is about Pena going after a different cartel, and Murphy isn't in that season.
@Whitephosphorenjoyer I know that, I was just saying the story of season 3 was fictional. I also know that the storyline was true, but the characters were not
I love that I haven't seen either of these shows, so I get to speculate along with Scott! This is a great concept. If this could become a continued series, I would love it. And I love getting to see GG on the channel again. Scott and GG have always been two of my all-time favorite RUclipsrs and it makes me very happy to see them on each other's channels from time to time.
I started watching this video, got past Scott's predictions and said to myself "I'm going to watch this show." * Precedes to watch entire show * And now I'm back 6 weeks later to finish the rest of the video.
@@Dead_Goat how i met your mother’s ending was so hyped and it was very disappointing. The same thing happened with game of thrones like 3 years after lol
I think Scott should also get points for the “embarrassing accident” leading to Ted meeting the mom. He DID met Stella because of an embarrassing thing, and their relationship got closer after an accident. She didn’t end up being the mother, but still, I think that should be points.
Actually Scott predicted the end of Narcos:Mexico which is a spinoff of Narcos. where Main villain dies (supposedly dies). and last frame of the finale is that he actually got away and is enjoying his life in his villa (which has a pool). so I give him B+ on narcos.
Victoria (a baker Ted met in season 2) comes back in a later season and the writers initially wanted her to be the mother if the show got canceled, so technically you are correct with that theory.
You also actually sort of nailed Ted meeting a romantic interest in early on in the series, and only to meet her again later down the line: Victoria. She wasn't the mother though. Although interestingly, iirc, the creators said that if they weren't renewed for a 2nd season, they would have settled for Victoria being the mother.
If you like musicals, then I vote you try this with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Especially since it's a show where the creators had a pretty good idea of the 4 part arc they wanted for the character but still allowed to cast and characters to help the plots evolve more organically.
Literally my favorite show. I’ve been rewatching it. I made my friend watch the first handful of episodes THIS WEEK and she kept saying “so is she gonna date Josh, she’s gonna break them up and date Josh, she ends up with Josh?” And I’m like…girl you gotta wait and see lol.
@@lexi905 I have to rewatch it now 😅 I’ve never seen it pop up so much in one week, much less in parts of the internet that don’t have to do with musicals
@@lexi905 love that 😂 i rewatched it during late quarantine and now I’ve been doing one episode at a time with my roommate, but it’s such a good show to binge imo
I don't think I could ever in my LIFE predict Riverdale wrong. I stopped watching after half of S4 cause I thought it was getting way too unhinged haha. I'm tempted to continue though.
I really like Scott’s current stuff. His pst couple of videos have been such refreshing content considering many YT commentary channels are just negative toward someone on the internet; Scott’s been getting outside the box recently and it makes me excited for his uploads
i may be remembering the show wrong but I swear that when ted goes to robin in the last episode he brings the blue horn with him, meaning scott *kinda* got another guess right since they do a callback to the pilot
It's been some time since I've seen Narcos, but Scott was actually right about Escobars brother in law. Don't remember exactly what happened, but it resulted in the authorities finding Tata and her kids in a safe house and he got murdered. So basically he did almost mess up everything because he almost got Tata, kids and her mother murdered.
Not really actually. What happened was that there's this far-right militia being funded by a rival cartel to Escobar's to kill him and anyone close to him, and they find Escobar's mother as she goes to church and track her where Escobar and his family are and launch a raid, and in said raid the brother in law dies.
@@Ryan88881 oh yeah, the authorities definitely did everything by the book and I would never in this day and age even suggest that the authorities were also the bad guys
Scott was actually closer than he actually thought with a couple things: Throughout the course of the show, Barney gets into a few serious relationships and matures quite a bit as he learns a lot about love and commitment Barney gets engaged to a stripper (not a prostitute) called Quinn just before he marries robin. The hopeless romantic of the group, Ted falls for a lot of women, so much so that it becomes a running gag Also Scott's theory about how the mother and Ted's relationship will play out is very close to describing Ted's relationship with Victoria, who was initially meant to be the mother if the show got cancelled early on - after a chance encounter midway through season 1, ted successfully tracks her down and they start a relationship but after a couple episodes, she moves away to germany and with long-distance not working, Ted wishes to be with Robin instead. Further down the line she makes a return and they rekindle their relationship, eventually get engaged but they end up breaking up again because Victoria doesn't want Ted to be friends with Robin
I have never had an ending ruin a show for me as much as how I met your mother's. Luckily there are many sub plots that save earlier seasons, I will always latch onto how the show kept things constantly fresh by trying out various clever framing devises, but the entire main idea as well as those last couple seasons when they start really setting up Barney and Robin are all just trashed to service the worst part of the fanbase.
@@nofuture104 GoT had the exact opposite issue, descent enough ending in it's own right, but a really shitty and rushed journey to get there. Ultimately it's a Sophie's Choice of which aspect is gonna be shitty, the journey or the destination.
Narcos is an insanely good show. If you're a fan of gritty, bloody and realistic depictions of the narcotics trade and the war on drugs, you should watch this! The three main actors carry this show (plus, the supporting cast is insanely talented), Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal have great chemistry and Wagner Moura kills it as Pablo Escobar. Seriously, one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Do they really cover the way that Nixon started the drug war so he could lock up leftists and black people without it looking political? If they did, then I begrudgingly respect Netflix for telling the truth; that is pretty rare for media in the US..
The thing is Javier Peña kinda did kill Gacha I just started watching a few weeks ago and if I remember correctly Carrillo told Peña it was his choice to either bring him in or kill
Also the idea of the mother being introduced a lot earlier and than coming back was very much on the table. Victoria was always the backup mother, if they had come under pressure to end the show in a season.
I love this concept actually, now I wanna see someone do this for shows where the first episode reveals absolutely nothing. Like, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood; 90 percent of the backstory isn’t revealed until episode 2 or 3, you only meet a handful of all the important characters, and they hardly set anything up except for Ed’s abilities. It would be pretty wild to see someone try to predict the ending of all that
HOLD ON, while Pedro Pascal didn't kill Gacha, he was on the helicopter next to the gunner that cuts him down in the show. And if i remember correctly, he does make the call to smoke him. So pretty damn close.
No way, such an awesome RUclips series idea, I really hope you do more of these! Also so amazing to see you collab with Mista GG, absolutely loved it! Also found it funny just how different your sample shows were: How I Met Your Mother and Narcos in the same video :’)
I really like watching your videos, Scott. You kinda sound like an older brother's friend who, at somepoint, figured things out, but still remembers the struggles and joys of younger adults.
I’m like you where most of the time I’m off but sometimes scarily accurate. Like to the point people get mad at me watching stuff because they think I’m goggling the ending. I remember when one of the newer Chucky movies came out and I watched it with a friend. I guessed the dying order of every single character right- it blew my mind..lol
I was once making fun of a terrible movie a friend and I were in the middle of watching. Then literally everything I joked about happened seriously in the movie. My friend was annoyed but nothing could bring me down that day 😂
Dylan is in Trouble makes similar videos! He watches the 1st episode of a series, then makes a couple guesses about how the story will go and check the last episode to see if he was right. I highly recommend his channel :)
5:20 Oh my god. You nailed the ending perfectly. The mom died, Ted told his kids this story because he wanted their blessing to bang Robin and it was waaaaaaaay too dark for silly Sitcom like this. Everybody hated the ending, especially since the mom was awesome and they killed her off in a 5 minute montage at the end.
The himym predictions were wonderful... The Narcos ones... You only came close with the death of Gacha, while Javier Peña didn't kill him directly, he was the one next to the shooter and gave the order (one of the coolest moments in the show in my opinion). The team was considering whether to capture or kill him on the spot, and then de decision was Jaivi's to make. He paused for a sec thinking about all the bad things Gacha did and finally said DALE PLOMO ( you'd have to watch it tho, I skipped on a lot of details, like they killed him from a helicopter with a bad ass machine gun)
Scott imagine watching season after season of HIMYM, and the confusion you felt when you learned the entire plot line, it was pretty devastating to say the least
Nostra Damus didn't actually predict the future, he just made an absurd amount of vague statements that slightly resemble events that came after his time.
@@randomnerd3402 "Nostra Damus didn't ACKSUALLY predict the future, he just made an absurd amount of vague statements that slightly resemble events that came after his time." 🤓🤓🤓
I love how accurate yet also inaccurate his narcos takes are. Jacha goes down in a blaze of glory in a standoff with a helicopter mini gun, and the crazy family member is Tata, and his abuelita, to an extent. Ironically his brother is actually one of the most sane people in the Escobar fam. Also such a good show I stopped midway through season 3, I just need to go back sometime and binge it from start to finish. It tells the story in a manner that is somehow more captivating than the original (I mean in terms of crazy irl shit Escobar is up there) and they cast the perfect people.
When you realllllly think about it, the direction that HIMYM went IS pretty obvious. "Hey kids! Let me tell you about how i met your mom!" Then starts the story about how he met robin.....because thats actually relevant somehow 😅. As a fan of the show since it came out, im at peace with the ending. The title is SLIGHTLY miss leading, but in a way that adds depth to is in some way
Scott should definitely do more of them!! DylanisinTrouble actually does a series like this where he watches the first and last episode of a series. It's very interesting and funny to watch, especially if you're a fan of the show he's trying to predict
Honestly Scott I would LOVE to see you do this with reality shows. There are enormous communities of people who try to predict the winners of Survivor seasons based solely on the editing and I think you’d have a ton of fun doing that with other shows
6:30 when Scott talked about how we would hear that story at Ted's wedding I got so retroactively mad that we barely saw Ted and Tracy's wedding. I don't even consider the real ending canonical at this point, but the alternate ending, even though it's way better, is so rushed. The perfect ending imo would be a more fleshed out version of the alternate ending, one that is as long as the original ending (because the alternate is way shorter, undortunately)
The only first/ last episode reaction commentary that wasn’t kind of obnoxious. I enjoyed this, and I hope that even though you’ve made some wild guesses that ended up to be true that you do go back and actually watch the show.
Super psyched about this video idea! This was so fun that I was bummed that you only did it for two shows but I understand that you're basically spoiling an entire tv series lol

@@gustavoclarindo101 True he said, dark. I am saying bad. I actually never recommend this show because of its end, but I like what this whole video is: watch 1 episode, then spoil the whole thing and let someone enjoy the journey since they won't enjoy the destination.
@@mattwestover8014 ??the show is amazing, top 5 ever, and the death only furthers that purpose.
The thing about HIMYM is that Victoria was originally planned to be the mother, and they do introduce her very early on. So that prediction, while wrong, is still somewhat consistent with the writers' thought process.
No she wasn’t the original mother but sh was just the fallback plan in case the show didn’t last as long
Also better ending than the real one.
@@taylorgayhart9497 nah victoria personnality wasnt that good, she was annoying to me
Yeah it was supposed to end after season 4
I was going to write a comment brining up that he said "he meets her early, and then she leaves but later comes back" and how this ties in with the Victoria storyline, but you nailed it already!
Alright but for How I Met your Mother, he was hot on the trail for a LOT more than his expert friend told him.
He was filled in on to the whole Stella thing where Ted got an embarrassing tattoo and he was her patient, but in Scott's prediction he also said "maybe the mother is introduced early on in the series and then she goes away for a lkng time and they meet at an event or something later on"
In Ted's top 3 most serious relationships (the third being the mother of course), this man got 2 of them real damn close. Victoria does leave to Germany for a number of years and her and Ted meet again much later while she's catering the architects ball (big event). Wow
Also for a bonus he did guess barney would get married to a prostitute when in fact he got *engaged* to a *stripper*. A little bit colder there but still pretty close.
So honestly all that combined with his scrapped "the mother died" theory that was wild. Great video
Sorry, but it's "Long."
RIGHT??? He got really close with the Quinn prediction, I'm super impressed
well not to mention i would say that she is introduced in a way that does warrant giving Scott credit, and im especially talking about Scott saying "and the kids will be like "ohhh waaahh?! that woman was her the whole time!??!" and if memory serves me the kids had a similar reaction. plus everything else you said
I think he fully explains to the camera. But gives his friends a list of his predictions. So we hear his whole thought process but they only see what he writes down.
I mean he actually did meet the mother at a big event too yknow Barney and Robin's wedding
I know scott said he definitely wouldnt do this again, but this concept is so fun i wouldnt mind if he did more of this
Go check out Dylan Is In Trouble, he has a series of doing this.
@@jenniferneel99 The Dylan videos are quite different than this. All he does is watch through it and react in real time. The concepts are very different in execution. This was much more involved than a Dylan video. Those are fine I guess, but this was more interesting.
yeah i loved this!!!
Do Game Of Thrones!
I feel like I'm yelling freebird
@@claybarber5451 I don't what makes Dylan's videos less involved. He talks directly to us and expresses his ideas to us. The only difference is that Dylan is a reaction channel and he didn't bring others in his videos. Also he watches the last episode. I just think you like Scott more than Dylan (nothing wrong with that it just seems like you're trying to diminish the work he puts into those videos).
Lol when Scott accurately predicts not only the end of Himym but also multiple plot points throughout the seasons
Or potential plots like that's what gets me.
I love that he accurately predicted it but said “it’s probably not that” lol
The nurse- the perfect date on off brand tinder than he invited their ex … didn’t work out
To the wedding*
Victoria actually almost followed the plot line of being introduced early on and then coming back as the mother later. that was their backup plot line so scott was WAY too close to correct
Yeah the fact that neither that nor Quinn were brought up as being CLOSE was a little sad.
Stella also had a similar story with her holding a yellow umbrella years later...
Victoria was going to be mother. HIMYM filmed first 13 episodes and if they were not given more money then Ted going to bakery was going to be end with "and this is how i meet your mother"
She should ah e been "the mom"
Actually we already knew for a long time that he hasn't meet the mother yet. So when they brought Victoria back we knew it won't last.
He should try to guess community the first episode feels like an entirely different show
I would love him to guess Community
But he has seen Community, it wouldn’t worked..
Honestly, guessing the ending might be easy enough….but guessing what happened along the way, now that would be a feat
Narcos is actually really accurate in its story. I'm Colombian and my mom grew up in the 80s in Medellin. I watched the show with her and she rarely made comments about inaccuracies most of the comments were about how Netflix portrays the people (some people or organizations are portrayed as absolute heroes or villains). Which ties into the reason the disclaimer is there, which is because the people portrayed that are still alive are very touchy about their part in those events (for obvious reasons). From Pablo's family to even the Colombian government, everyone has their own way that they would like to spin the story. All the major events you see in the show, however, did happen unfortunately. The tanks, the shootouts, the bombs. It's a really dark part of our history and a good example of the term 'magical realism.' Where real events seem so bizarre that they seem made up.
I think the biggest inaccuracy I've heard about was the character of Horacio Carillo who wasn't a real person, just loosely based on someone who did not die in a bombastic ambush where Pablo himself executed him.
Also I have to ask, did you or your mom find the accents annoying or jarring? I don't understand any Spanish, but I heard it is quite obvious to natives that the actors aren't Colombian.
@@Lefaseer If she did, she didn't mention it. I definitely found them jarring, but I got used to it after a while. It was always a little weird hearing a conversation between someone without an accent and someone with though.
@@Lefaseer As a Colombian I think the most jarring thing was Escobar himself who is portrayed by a brazilian, and if you speak spanish you can definitely tell that it isn't his first language. It isn't Giancarlo Espósito as Gus levels of jarring but it's still kinda distracting.
@@alejandrobolin5224 yeah, when Pablo gets mad it's more noticeable how off the accent is
The smartest part about this idea is that you didn’t have to struggle through the final season of How I Met Your Mother.
I like the final season of HIMYM. Only the last episode is bad.
I loved the last season. It was good until Robin and Barney got divorced.
Ne lupaj gluposti!
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 That last episode ruined the entire series for me. I haven't rewatched ever, unlike other series I like.

"Even a broken squirrel is right twice a nut." - Scott Cramer, 2022
My mouth dropped when he said the mother dies
But him guessing Tracy would get introduced early on wasn't off, at one point Victoria was slated to be the mother so it's not far off.
Barney did get engaged to a stripper and was completely serious about her, so he was SOOO close there.
They also did introduce "Tracy" early on. They told us her name was going to be Tracy! When the stripper at the Thanksgiving or whatever it was strip show, she says "my real name's Tracy" and the kids go "WHAT??" We assume he made everything up, but the name was her real name, because of course the kids know their mother's name!
I watched the show as it was airing, and we had message boards dedicated to keep track of clues, her name being Tracy was always one of the few things we knew were “fact” lol my favorite though was the theory that the mom was the woman he runs into on St Patrick’s Day (he literally runs into a woman and apologizes and they smile at each other and walk away) and since the mom did end up being at that party, I think that they may have planned that at one point!
The
honestly the whole "mother dies" thing was so friggin obvious that fans actually dismissed that prediction early on. "It can't be that. It's too predictable"
Oh. Scott. You literally immediately got himym. That’s the thing that people hate about the ending
😔😔feels bad
People who hate that don't get it
People do not hate that the Mom died. They hate the Ted & Robin part.
@@JoshJackson10 Well, a combination of that plus the fact that the entire final season (and you could say the whole show) was essentially reversed in a two-minute ending.
@@JoshJackson10 I don't like that they just used her as part of Ted ending up with Robin
The thing about the How I Met Your Mother finale, is that while it makes sense with the beginning of the series, it literally ruined all of the middle and final part.
The finale was pre-planned from the beginning with an important scene being pre-filmed during season 1/2 before the actors for the children grew too old. But then the show naturally progress and change quite drastically throughout the 9 seasons, to the point that the planned finale doesn't make sense and completely ignore (or even reverse/undid) the character progressions that happened in the last few seasons.
But instead of changing the finale, they stuck with the pre-planned one and it resulted in one of the most hated series finale ever in TV history. We are talking Games of Throne level of hatred among fans. It turns out that the official "alternate ending" is more liked by fans because it cut off most of the bullshit that is the original pre-planned ending.
False.
I’m an avid himym fan. I could write a whole book on how the ending was perfect and how the middle and final part perfectly catered to it.
@@purple77ize Nah, we spent a whole season on just Barney and Robin's wedding just for them to get no marriage screentime before they divorce. I quite dislike.
@@torzimay it’s not for everyone 🤷🏻♀️
@@purple77ize I'm glad you liked it though, it sucks to be unsatisfied with a show that long.
A prime example that planning out your ending ahead of time doesn't guarantee it will be good, especially in a long-form narrative. Things change and don't always go as planned over a years-long story, so it's better to come up with an organic ending once you get to that point rather than sticking to a pre-planned finale that might not even apply to the established characters anymore.
On the inverse, you have Breaking Bad, a show that only had its first season planned out but then had to change plans almost immediately due to the 2008 writers' strike. It was making things up as it went, but carefully considered every scene before deciding on what would and would not work. The result is a show that *feels* like it was meticulously planned out from start to finish even though it wasn't.
It isn't about how much planning you do, it's about taking the time and care to consider what would actually be best for the story instead of recklessly putting pen to paper or stubbornly adhering to initial ideas that no longer work.
You should team up with Dylan is in trouble with his first and last series. Make a prediction for the ending after the first ep, then see if you're right and speculate about the middle part with after the last episode

i was so impressed when the first thing you said was “i think the mom dies and thats why he’s telling the story”
0:21 I do that. I typically narrow it down to a simple list of options. It’s awful because I love mysteries but I always figure it out within the first 15 minutes
Nah Scott, you deserved an A- for HIMYM. I know that’s not what you submitted to Dom, but getting the main twist of the entire show straight off the cuff like that deserves credit.
Give these predictions 1 more go dude.
I’m confused where you get this score from C+ is the perfect score he didn’t officially guess the death of the mother thinking it was too obvious he specifically said Barney would marry a hooker so can’t consider engagement to Quinn that and if you can it would be half point if anything his guess about the mother being introduced early then dipping for awhile although happening with technically both Victoria and Stella wasn’t the way he met the mother none of his guesses were overly correct. The score could legitimately be C- or D+ Due to the only thing him getting right is Barney gets married at some point. All his other submitted guesses were although close to plot points due to specifics are incorrect
Narcos was actually an extremely accurate retelling of the Colombian drug trade. Some events and characters were made up to show a wide range of how certain things happened or how a group of people operated such as search bloc. Javier Peña and Steve Murphy were the real DEA agents that helped bring down the Medellin Cartel. The finale is actually about the Calli Cartel and not Escobar which would definitely throw you through a loop. (I’m huge history buff on the drug war)
I mean they still did take creative liberties as it is tv but the only glaring one is how differently Colonel Horacio Carrillo and Colonel Hugo Martinez were in the show to come to realize that Colonel Hugo Martinez was the only leader of the first search bloc.
dude i can rewatch the episode about marshalls dad over and over and it always will make me emotional. that show and the cast were exceptional
Apparently Jason Segel didn't know that Lily was about to tell him that his dad had died, so his reaction was ad-libbed, and that makes it so much more heart-wrenching. 😭😭😭

Basically how every HIMYM felt seeing the finale for the first time😆
Wait, he actually got the Barney theory almost right. He does gets engaged to Quinn who was a stripper but the wedding gets called off. He actually got a lot of the essence of the show bang on.
It's super interesting that while Barney doesn't find a prostitute in Cabo, he does have a huge relationship with and almost gets married to a stripper from the city.
Bruh that's what I exactly said, I was well he's not technically wrong 😂
I remember being so upset with the series finale of HIMYM, that I was pacing in my dorm room. And Scott saying the mom being dead is a bad fan theory is exactly how I felt watching it live. I hated so much about the finale, and I’m kind of glad Scott didn’t put years into the show to watch the terrible ending.

@@calebspencer3451 I don't. I had never heard of the guy 😂😬
@@calebspencer3451 himym is a true story??
When he said that the mother was going to be introduced in earlier season, leaves and returns in later seasons, that actually reminds me of Victoria and how the writer of HIMYM initially wanted her to be the mother.
Gacha dies to a police helicopter machine gun, sitting next to the gunner is Pedro Pascal, super close man.
Pedro does give the order to kill him instead of capturing hil
So for Narcos:
- I don't think Murphy or Pena ever talk to Escobar.
- Pablo does have a Brother-in-law that operates a part of his empire, but he doesn't ruin anything. Escobar's mom is actually to one who leads a group of mercenaries to their hide out, causing them to get ambushed and Tata's brother dies.
- Also, Narcos has 3 seasons, Escobar dies in Season 2. Season 3 is about Pena going after a different cartel, and Murphy isn't in that season.
Only Carrillo calls Escobar to threaten him
Season 3 is actually fully fictionalized
@@suryamgangwal8315no it isn’t, the Cali Cartel was very much real.
@Whitephosphorenjoyer I know that, I was just saying the story of season 3 was fictional. I also know that the storyline was true, but the characters were not

And I love getting to see GG on the channel again. Scott and GG have always been two of my all-time favorite RUclipsrs and it makes me very happy to see them on each other's channels from time to time.

Prediction for the end of this video: He cannot.
👀
@@ScottCramer your predictions were a lot better than the one i just made
I think Scott should also get points for the “embarrassing accident” leading to Ted meeting the mom. He DID met Stella because of an embarrassing thing, and their relationship got closer after an accident. She didn’t end up being the mother, but still, I think that should be points.
And his and Tracy's first meeting was an embarrassing accident. When Ted went into the wrong lecture theater
Nobody bother correcting me.
I'm not changing his grade.
Actually Scott predicted the end of Narcos:Mexico which is a spinoff of Narcos. where Main villain dies (supposedly dies). and last frame of the finale is that he actually got away and is enjoying his life in his villa (which has a pool). so I give him B+ on narcos.
Funny how he hit so many major plot points on the HIMYM predictions
Victoria (a baker Ted met in season 2) comes back in a later season and the writers initially wanted her to be the mother if the show got canceled, so technically you are correct with that theory.
@krinapetel4417 Ted met her in season 1
Victoria was planned to be the mother (in the case that the show was canceled). She does appear early, disappears, and comes back later.
Gonna be honest, getting a D+ on that Narcos prediction is suuuuuuuper generous, Scott.
I think the + is because they were pretty cool guesses. Just because they were wrong, doesn't mean they're bad I guess.
@@purple.9919 Well they're cliche guesses which is not giving enough credit to the show. Narcos isn't what people imagine it to be when going in.
As a narcos fan, F+
Good guesses, A for effort, but so completely wrong haha
Very generous. The friend forgot to mention that there is a whole season after Pablo's death
He way off.. way waaaaay off
You also actually sort of nailed Ted meeting a romantic interest in early on in the series, and only to meet her again later down the line: Victoria. She wasn't the mother though. Although interestingly, iirc, the creators said that if they weren't renewed for a 2nd season, they would have settled for Victoria being the mother.
3:47 that's called the Mosby
If you like musicals, then I vote you try this with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Especially since it's a show where the creators had a pretty good idea of the 4 part arc they wanted for the character but still allowed to cast and characters to help the plots evolve more organically.
Literally my favorite show. I’ve been rewatching it. I made my friend watch the first handful of episodes THIS WEEK and she kept saying “so is she gonna date Josh, she’s gonna break them up and date Josh, she ends up with Josh?” And I’m like…girl you gotta wait and see lol.

6:45 It's actually funny how close he got
i may be remembering the show wrong but I swear that when ted goes to robin in the last episode he brings the blue horn with him, meaning scott *kinda* got another guess right since they do a callback to the pilot
Please do more of these! This was fun. Maybe do more sitcoms since you're so good at it, and they are more fun to predict.
Predicting the finale of this video before I watch it:
Yes Scott can he’s a time wizard.
It's been some time since I've seen Narcos, but Scott was actually right about Escobars brother in law. Don't remember exactly what happened, but it resulted in the authorities finding Tata and her kids in a safe house and he got murdered. So basically he did almost mess up everything because he almost got Tata, kids and her mother murdered.
Not really actually. What happened was that there's this far-right militia being funded by a rival cartel to Escobar's to kill him and anyone close to him, and they find Escobar's mother as she goes to church and track her where Escobar and his family are and launch a raid, and in said raid the brother in law dies.
Authorities? You mean Los Pepes
@@Ryan88881 well I clearly said it's been a while since I've watched it, so I don't remember exactly what happened
@@gabrielaharries8149 Ok but you know the authorities wouldn't do that right?
@@Ryan88881 oh yeah, the authorities definitely did everything by the book and I would never in this day and age even suggest that the authorities were also the bad guys
Scott, loved the video, it was really fun to watch and I would love to see another one of this liking.
Let’s appreciate that Scott did not give spoilers for toy story two despite basically everyone has seen it
Scott was actually closer than he actually thought with a couple things:
Throughout the course of the show, Barney gets into a few serious relationships and matures quite a bit as he learns a lot about love and commitment
Barney gets engaged to a stripper (not a prostitute) called Quinn just before he marries robin.
The hopeless romantic of the group, Ted falls for a lot of women, so much so that it becomes a running gag
Also Scott's theory about how the mother and Ted's relationship will play out is very close to describing Ted's relationship with Victoria, who was initially meant to be the mother if the show got cancelled early on - after a chance encounter midway through season 1, ted successfully tracks her down and they start a relationship but after a couple episodes, she moves away to germany and with long-distance not working, Ted wishes to be with Robin instead. Further down the line she makes a return and they rekindle their relationship, eventually get engaged but they end up breaking up again because Victoria doesn't want Ted to be friends with Robin
I have never had an ending ruin a show for me as much as how I met your mother's. Luckily there are many sub plots that save earlier seasons, I will always latch onto how the show kept things constantly fresh by trying out various clever framing devises, but the entire main idea as well as those last couple seasons when they start really setting up Barney and Robin are all just trashed to service the worst part of the fanbase.
It’s equal to game of thrones for me.
@@hommefataltaemin oh yeah...that happened. I'd like to say I can still love seasons 1-4 but I haven't watched them since.
@@nofuture104 GoT had the exact opposite issue, descent enough ending in it's own right, but a really shitty and rushed journey to get there. Ultimately it's a Sophie's Choice of which aspect is gonna be shitty, the journey or the destination.
Narcos is an insanely good show. If you're a fan of gritty, bloody and realistic depictions of the narcotics trade and the war on drugs, you should watch this! The three main actors carry this show (plus, the supporting cast is insanely talented), Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal have great chemistry and Wagner Moura kills it as Pablo Escobar. Seriously, one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Do they really cover the way that Nixon started the drug war so he could lock up leftists and black people without it looking political? If they did, then I begrudgingly respect Netflix for telling the truth; that is pretty rare for media in the US..
I reallly liked it too! I'm surprised how little I hear about it on the internet, even in the comments here
The thing is Javier Peña kinda did kill Gacha
I just started watching a few weeks ago and if I remember correctly Carrillo told Peña it was his choice to either bring him in or kill
18:07 Pedro Pascal’s character didn’t kill Gacha, BUT he was the one that gave the order to kill him. I would give that to one to Scott.
Also the idea of the mother being introduced a lot earlier and than coming back was very much on the table. Victoria was always the backup mother, if they had come under pressure to end the show in a season.
I love this concept actually, now I wanna see someone do this for shows where the first episode reveals absolutely nothing.
Like, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood; 90 percent of the backstory isn’t revealed until episode 2 or 3, you only meet a handful of all the important characters, and they hardly set anything up except for Ed’s abilities. It would be pretty wild to see someone try to predict the ending of all that
HOLD ON, while Pedro Pascal didn't kill Gacha, he was on the helicopter next to the gunner that cuts him down in the show. And if i remember correctly, he does make the call to smoke him. So pretty damn close.
"Give him lead"
No way, such an awesome RUclips series idea, I really hope you do more of these! Also so amazing to see you collab with Mista GG, absolutely loved it! Also found it funny just how different your sample shows were: How I Met Your Mother and Narcos in the same video :’)

I’m like you where most of the time I’m off but sometimes scarily accurate. Like to the point people get mad at me watching stuff because they think I’m goggling the ending.

5:20 Oh my god. You nailed the ending perfectly. The mom died, Ted told his kids this story because he wanted their blessing to bang Robin and it was waaaaaaaay too dark for silly Sitcom like this. Everybody hated the ending, especially since the mom was awesome and they killed her off in a 5 minute montage at the end.
The himym predictions were wonderful... The Narcos ones... You only came close with the death of Gacha, while Javier Peña didn't kill him directly, he was the one next to the shooter and gave the order (one of the coolest moments in the show in my opinion). The team was considering whether to capture or kill him on the spot, and then de decision was Jaivi's to make. He paused for a sec thinking about all the bad things Gacha did and finally said DALE PLOMO ( you'd have to watch it tho, I skipped on a lot of details, like they killed him from a helicopter with a bad ass machine gun)
you should make this a series! absolutely loved this video

Jacha goes down in a blaze of glory in a standoff with a helicopter mini gun, and the crazy family member is Tata, and his abuelita, to an extent. Ironically his brother is actually one of the most sane people in the Escobar fam. Also such a good show I stopped midway through season 3, I just need to go back sometime and binge it from start to finish. It tells the story in a manner that is somehow more captivating than the original (I mean in terms of crazy irl shit Escobar is up there) and they cast the perfect people.
When you realllllly think about it, the direction that HIMYM went IS pretty obvious.
"Hey kids! Let me tell you about how i met your mom!"
Then starts the story about how he met robin.....because thats actually relevant somehow 😅. As a fan of the show since it came out, im at peace with the ending. The title is SLIGHTLY miss leading, but in a way that adds depth to is in some way
0:29 i love how the penguins lip syncing is perfect with scott
Just wanna say. This is a GREAT idea for a video.
And can be done with practically anything, can be mined ad nauseum
I would honestly watch him make an entire season out of this
Scott should definitely do more of them!! DylanisinTrouble actually does a series like this where he watches the first and last episode of a series. It's very interesting and funny to watch, especially if you're a fan of the show he's trying to predict
Honestly Scott I would LOVE to see you do this with reality shows. There are enormous communities of people who try to predict the winners of Survivor seasons based solely on the editing and I think you’d have a ton of fun doing that with other shows
6:30 when Scott talked about how we would hear that story at Ted's wedding I got so retroactively mad that we barely saw Ted and Tracy's wedding. I don't even consider the real ending canonical at this point, but the alternate ending, even though it's way better, is so rushed. The perfect ending imo would be a more fleshed out version of the alternate ending, one that is as long as the original ending (because the alternate is way shorter, undortunately)
The only first/ last episode reaction commentary that wasn’t kind of obnoxious. I enjoyed this, and I hope that even though you’ve made some wild guesses that ended up to be true that you do go back and actually watch the show.
Super psyched about this video idea! This was so fun that I was bummed that you only did it for two shows but I understand that you're basically spoiling an entire tv series lol
This better be a series on the channel
It helps me struggle
PLEASE do this with riverdale if you haven’t seen it, I watched the first season and heard something about how it’s going rn and honestly even if you went completely wild you’d never be close to right🤣
''That feels way too dark for a silly sitcom like this'' Truer words have never been spoken.
