* MidReviewSketchShow: While most ''Scott The Woz'' episodes are mostly about the games or other gaming-related phenomena that Scott reviews, some episodes have a much greater focus on an overarching narrative, with plot and other characters besides Scott. This includes the season finales and episodes such as ''Game Stores'', ''The Great Mysteries of Gaming'', ''Memory Cards'', ''The Dark Age of Nintendo'' mini-series, and ''Borderline Forever''. Some episodes skip the "review" part entirely in lieu of original sketches, such as ''Homecoming'', ''The Trial'', and ''Speed Dating''.

** ''Borderline Forever'', even if it was released a week before the next regular episode of the channel came out, was treated as such, as its the 200th episode in the series (treated as a BigDamnMovie) that wraps up a character arc of Scott hating shapes (as previously mentioned in ''Game Packaging''). It also hosts a MASSIVE collection of call-backs and references to the past 199 episodes as if the 200th episode (which has a special logo shown at the end credits to commemorate it) was it's last.

** Played for laughs in the end of the first part of his ''Wii U'' retrospective series, where Scott makes a coma-related analogy about the range of the launch titles for the console- which then leads to a brief CutawayGag of a comatose Scott being found by Target Employee and Jeb Jab in Scott's game room.

** Scott does a similar joke based upon the aforementioned ''Empire of Sin'' reaction gag in the ''Game Titles'' video when he reacts to three video game announcements, with each one of their titles becoming less catchy and exciting to exclaim out loud (with Scott bluntly saying "...yeah!" over the last game trailer).

** Also in ''Toys to Life'', Scott opens with a bit where he proclaims himself as a god, granting a bunch of “toys” (implied to be of the adult variety) life. This seems to have very little to do with the rest of the episode’s plot until the end, where he reflects on what happened:

** Similarly, Scott also makes it a rule to not reference real world current events that aren't directly related to video games, or using humorous analogies when he doesn't have a choice (both as a rule to keep his videos timeless and because he prefers his show be an escape from reality to his viewers). Early episodes break this rule on occasion though, such as in the first episode where he does a cutaway to the past where he jokes about how funny it would be for Donald Trump to become president, or when he mistakes a Black Lives Matter rally for a Nintendo Switch launch event.
