We are now approaching the "uncanny" era of Scott's musings. Cuz y'see, this one isn't ancient history, no sir--this is the same ad i got in the mail during my senior year of college, that sat in my apartment bathroom for a month. I don't just remember seeing it, but having & holding multiple copies (1 was handed to me with my Xenoblade Chronicles X special edition preorder receipt). It's not a wistful, hazy memory either, like toys r us ads or the JCPenny enormous catalogue. This is a "wasn't that just yesterday?" feeling. Only now I realize it was 8 years ago. Man, time flies.
Black Friday just doesn't hit the same anymore. I remember even as a kid the excitement of going to Walmart at 6am with my mom and coming home with a video game and some DVDs. Now you have to pay me to get out of bed at 6am
@@fredmeyer1044 nah man, there were those you mentioned, can't forget about Batman Arkham Knight, Metal Gear Solid 5, Bloodborne, Witcher 3! Fully stacked, unless you hate those games!
You fool! The demon of babylon has disguised himself with the coat of the righteous. Worse yet, I sold Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright to him and probably got $20 max.
I know it's Christmas time when Scott looks at years old Holiday ad campaigns. Hope there's one or 2 more of these in the pipeline. I rewatched the other Christmas ones just a few days ago lol.
I don’t know why you would keep this, but I still watched it. There’s something about Scott talking about old ads that really puts me in the holiday spirit
What an insanely nostalgic list of stuff. In December 2015 I had just gotten my first job at a movie theatre and that zelda 3ds xl was the first console I bought with my own money. My dad got us that Ps4 bundle for christmas. It was a good year.
It's still crazy and, quite frankly, stupid how those are pretty much the best-selling games of their systems, heck even among the best selling games of all-time, yet so freaking hard to get for decent prices (largely because millions of people got nostalgic for DS-era Pokemon games recently and modern Pokemon doesn't seem to have the best future ahead).
@@Mimi.1001Yhea, They're over valued because of collectors and TH-camrs They're not worth more than like $50 bucks, they weren't rare games, sure they're the least selling Pokemon games, but they still printed millions
You ever just live life, then realize you're watching a 32 minute minute video of white boy hold up a 2015 GameStop ad to his carpet floor. And enjoying it.
The GameStop Black Friday deal in 2015 was actually decent for systems like Wii U, used Wiis, PS3, Xbox 360, and the PS Vita, because I bought the Vita and played some games on it, but it was the LCD model that was hard to mod because of the firmware! My friend was able to mod the Vita and put SNES games on it! Now the Vita is like a collectors item, because how underrated the system is, Sony should’ve not used those infamous memory cards! That’s what killed the Vita.
War flashbacks, I worked this Black Friday at my Gamestop store, it was one of the last ones I was subjected to, I remember people going crazy for some of this stuff. I remember staying hours late to set this up, I remember those stupid Tony Hawk earbuds, getting screamed at because we ran out of the cheap PS4's, all of it brings back that odd kind of nostalgia where I hate every single moment of it fondly.
Seeing Transformers Devastation on sale in general was really surreal, considering its history. Now I want to see Scott be able to talk about the game in a video, that would be an interesting watch
i remember using the Pre-Apple Beats headphones, yeah they sound great & the sound isolation is amazing... but also they can double as a medieval torture device with how hard they clamp on your skull, also they're heavy
i remember xmas 2015 was huge for me, i got a boatload of 3DS games and got a wii u for the first time, and it's so funny looking back and seeing how absolutely weird the market was at the time
❗️My Timestamps: 1:36 I was still PS3-ing in 2015, playing GTA5 online, Battlefield 1943 and Test Drive: Unlimited 2 amongst others. 2:48 I've just bought some navy blue 'PowerBeats Pro' but have yet to use them as my 'Sony: WF-SP800N' earphones haven't truly broken yet. 11:52 I had 'Paddington: Adventures In London'. It was OK and i only got stuck on two missions but once I done them, I was able to complete the game. As it had no real replayability, I later sold it.
At my local Walmart a few years ago for some reason found a copy of the PS2 GTA Trilogy for $20 among the shelves and i bought it since it was the only copy available at the time. A bargain for sure lol
This was back when I wasn't doing a lot of gaming. I couldn't afford any of the new consoles. All I had was a 3DS. I didn't even know Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was a thing.
i remember in 2015 going to best buy with my dad buying my brother a xbox one and while we were in the store, i was begging him to also buy me a ps4 that day, and he said “you already have a wii u” and i was really disappointed
Ngl, I have that Pokémon bath robe and use it every day. I also bought it for $10, not $40 like two months later. I needed a bath robe and $10 was the right price. To be fair, it's held up extremely well for almost daily brief use
With the whole "Skylanders nostalgia boom" thing you mentioned, unfortunately the chips in the figures are battery based and all the data relevant to that toy is lost when it dies. The thing is, a lot of them are starting to die already so I don't think they'll last 10 years. (Yes you could theoretically replace the battery, but that requires breaking the base of the toy, and if the battery needs to be replaced, the data AND the the actual identifier for what character it is is already lost. Imagine losing both the savedata AND the ability to play the game at all in a pokemon cart the moment the battery dies. That's the situation with skylanders.)
Beats actually aren't bad right now since they are made by apple. I recently got the studio buds pro or plus or whatever they call them and they are pretty good.
Beats headphones have gotten much better since Apple bought Beats in 2015. They’re not bad cannons any more, they’re actually somewhat palatable as a consumer centred audio device.
"it's illegal, but they can do it" this guy i swear lmaooo
8'years old at the most lol. My daughter is 9... I can't even imagine lol
Classic
💀
an absolute heater of a joke. very reminiscent of the late, great Mitch Hedberg
@@LonkinPork omg that comparison is on point. Escalator temporarily stairs ❤️
Only Scott can talk about an ad pamphlet for half an hour. And I'm here for it.
But your opinion is worthless.
Not really, there's tons of videos like this
@@XP9724ratio
It was probably found rapped around a Christmas ornament as protection
its time for another episode of "SCOTT FOUND SOMETHING IN HIS CLOSET AGAIN!"
Old Black Friday ads are weirdly comforting to look at they’re just a time capsule
Any ad worth it's salt would be.
Really makes you feel like the Wii U was a real console
2015 was the last time Nintendo cared about it. Everything past December 4 2015 was a dying gasp.
Only Scott can make it feel that way
Hearing Scott talk about headphones is like a alternative universe version of DankPods
same when dankpods talks about games LMAO
2015 being 8 years ago mentally screws with me.
It messes with me hardcore
9 in a month :(
:(( ouch my bones

Both Scott's Stash and Scott's Snippets are by far the greatest revolution in comfort content technology
Can confirm: People born in 2015 can drink. If they couldn't, they would all die from dehydration.
Black Friday just doesn't hit the same anymore. I remember even as a kid the excitement of going to Walmart at 6am with my mom and coming home with a video game and some DVDs. Now you have to pay me to get out of bed at 6am
Damn
Last time I went to black friday was to pick up a ps4 slim 1tb for 200 usd in 2019
Came with three games last of us, god of war, horizon zero dawn
Not even that, black friday just kinda flat out died since covid.
Covid killed it when there weren't really in store exclusive deals anymore
Because your now tired from work and have the responsiblites that come with being older or you tired from the world we live in today?
20 dollars for Pokémon Black and White is what true dreams are made of
Pokémon Black and White going for $20 is the craziest part lol
was GameStop trying to clear out ds games in 2015?
IT IS NOW WORTH 25.96 ACCOUNTING FOR INFLATION
Just get a r4 card
you are lucky if you can even get it for its original retail price nowadays
Unreal
Scott literally talked about everything video game related.
He will find something new about video games
That's how you know it's a classic video.
Still waiting on his L button vid
We live in a universe where "oh boy, I can't wait to hear Scott talk about f*cking garbage" is a phrase that isn't sarcastic.
My daughter was born in 2015 and excitedly asked, “I can drink now?!”
hope she got to!
Would be impressive if she survived this long without ever being able to.
Oh god ... The fact that I worked at a EB Games in 2015. This makes me feel old.
2015 was a great year for games and seeing these GameStop ads just takes me back!
2015 had like Mario Maker and like 2 indies and that's it, horrible year F tier easily
@@fredmeyer1044 nah man, there were those you mentioned, can't forget about Batman Arkham Knight, Metal Gear Solid 5, Bloodborne, Witcher 3! Fully stacked, unless you hate those games!

Worked at Bestbuy that holiday season. Good times good times.

as a child who grew up on skylanders and am now an adult, we have already returned. we are nostalgic.
We're at the point where TH-camrs are making retrospectives on ads from my last year of college. How did I get so old so quickly?
I appreciate your hot take on Beats headphones because you are CORRECT!
I feel like I’ll watch a video about a regional grocery store weekly ad from 2005 just because it had a picture of Mario on it if Scott made it.
Seeing Transformers Devastation on sale in general was really surreal, considering its history. Now I want to see Scott be able to talk about the game in a video, that would be an interesting watch
i remember using the Pre-Apple Beats headphones, yeah they sound great & the sound isolation is amazing... but also they can double as a medieval torture device with how hard they clamp on your skull, also they're heavy
The portable game case wotht the screen is fantastic when you're stuck on a ship for months.
I watch Scott for his rightful disdain of consumer garbage. Keep 'em coming!!!
I remember these ads, so vividly! I always wanted the blue PSVita but never got it lol. I also enjoy stories like these, awesome!
i remember xmas 2015 was huge for me, i got a boatload of 3DS games and got a wii u for the first time, and it's so funny looking back and seeing how absolutely weird the market was at the time
I remember having some of these in the back of my grandmother's car and I'm pretty sure they're still there.
11:55 seeing Pokemon black and White being 20 dollars back then...... Man 8 years ago
27:12 Oh how wrong we were thinking that Mario Kart 8 was done with getting DLC back then
Dude 😂Scott’s timing is so good! 😂 Super Hero’s, Star Wars……..
This was fun! Thanks for this! 😊
Crazy how pre-owned games used to be on sale for $10 but now they're on sale for like $10 less than the new version
❗️My Timestamps:
1:36 I was still PS3-ing in 2015, playing GTA5 online, Battlefield 1943 and Test Drive: Unlimited 2 amongst others.

god these are nostalgic
Black Friday 2015 was one of the BEST time to collect PS3, that’s around when I began collecting PS3
This gets me so nostalgic
I could listen to Scott talk about anything at this point.
Ironically, I'm watching this video wearing beats headphones, no joke.
Me too lmfaooo,
It's weird that you perfectly understand the beats brand as a whole without ever buying one product
Pokemon Black and White being only 20 dollars shocked me. I would've bought the whole stock if I had the money lol
My Walmart was selling sealed copies of B/W2 for $20 that year. Couldn't get rid of em and I fucking regret not grabbing them all
At my local Walmart a few years ago for some reason found a copy of the PS2 GTA Trilogy for $20 among the shelves and i bought it since it was the only copy available at the time. A bargain for sure lol
4:03 I was so excited when I saw my Zelda New 3ds XL on the ad, only for Scott to call it the basic bitch of Special Editions 😭
I skip TH-cam ads as fast as I possibly can and then proceed to watch a 30 minute video about ads…
It feels like Black Friday died. No one camps at stores anymore. There are no breathtaking deals... it even starts days before actual Black Friday.
COVID ruined it plus digital releases
Having nostalgia about 2015 is illegal
"Oh my gosh, Funko Pops!?!" (turns page uncaringly)
This was back when I wasn't doing a lot of gaming. I couldn't afford any of the new consoles. All I had was a 3DS. I didn't even know Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was a thing.
I believe those "random old star wars games " with the ps4 we're never released on the store, particularly the ps2 versions of battleftont.
My dad bought my family the Nintendo ornaments back in 2015. It’s weird knowing he bought those from GameStop 2015 on Black Friday, now I know
I love this. You should do more of this Scott.
15:21 And that's EXACTLY why I'm glad I've held on to my copies of Black 1 and 2 for so long.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel, but we still love it
I worked at Gamestop at the time so I remember this, interesting times.
Side note: I wish I bought 20 copies of Pokémon White/Black back then. Lol
Scott is like your nostalgic uncle, except you want to hearhim. Thanks for the video!!!
Cool video Scott, I actually worked as a Game Advisor(a entry level retail position lol) at Gamestop in 2015, weird you are making this video on this
One of these days id like to see him and the crew do some good ol blazblue
i remember in 2015 going to best buy with my dad buying my brother a xbox one and while we were in the store, i was begging him to also buy me a ps4 that day, and he said “you already have a wii u” and i was really disappointed
2015 was the first full year I had a wii u so I got alot of memories of that holiday season, too bad it wasn't for a good console.
That Zelda 3DS is honestly really nice in hand. However, I only got it because I missed out on the Majora 3DS :(
this feels so comfy even though GameStop isn't on my country lmao
I feel like Scott would've been a hoarder if he wasn't a big TH-camr
Has Scott ever seen Ashens? Because this feels like the next generation's Ashens lol
Some SkyLanders are already crazily priced and selling on eBay. It’s nuts.
Take me back to normality of 2015, plz
I wish game companies capitalized on Thanksgiving more, like hell yes I’ll buy a pilgrim themed Ps4 Pro why aren’t you selling it

Dang. So it was a good thing Scott sold them all
Definitely good times! Everything gaming-related felt more vivid back then, don't know how to explain it.
omg a new scott the stash video this is great scott i love you and your stasy
Beats actually aren't bad right now since they are made by apple. I recently got the studio buds pro or plus or whatever they call them and they are pretty good.
These types of videos are the best just looking at pamphlets or magazines
I wonder if Scott realizes he didn't spend a dime on games for this video. Keep em coming!!!
I still have some gamestop ads and walmart ads from the Xbox 360 launch/PS3 Launch
PSP launch and Slim PS2 launch
Beats headphones have gotten much better since Apple bought Beats in 2015. They’re not bad cannons any more, they’re actually somewhat palatable as a consumer centred audio device.
But still built very cheap considering the price I have the beats studio buds they aren’t bad but you can definitely do better for 150
i felt the same way with the hyrule 3ds xl. fast forward this thing is valuable.
I honestly don't understand how GameStop is still in business
They haven't been doing so hot lately,probably because all gamestops are now 90% funko pop and 10% actual video games
Alternate title: Scott talks about Beats headphones, featuring other things
imagine getting a free backpack with a console. would never happen now a days
29:07 I saw a picture of a kid in his swimming trunks outside right by a lake playing Xbox 360 at his campsite.
Thanks Scott :)
I really enjoyed playing guitar hero live. It had songs you could play with music videos running in the background. Pretty sweet!
*starts sweating as I’m watching this with my Beats headphones*
i remember when i was 9 in 2015 and loving my wii u and the games i got for christmas
3:44 congrats you figured out the marketing strategy of apple beats and raycon
I still put those Mario Anniversary bulbs on my Christmas tree every year :)
is it weird im more fan of scott stash than i am with the main scott the woz?
both is good but this one feels more personal, like good ol CGR videos ,
I’ve been feeling the same way, I’m enjoying these way more. But I can always appreciate the effort out into the main channel.
