“i’m not a figurine guy”

*collects all the amiibo*

[PrincessFelicie]

The payoff for the bowser joke somehow managed to surprise me. Well done.

[Captain_Flood]

I remember there was a time when every link amiibo was sold out or overpriced because of the costumes in breath of the wild.

[lulumelow]

"Children and 30 year olds everywhere"

Precise.

Scott: "Animal Crossing doesn't have mass appeal."
New Horizons: *Allow me to introduce myself.*

6:28-6:34 "Sir you need to pay for that"

[Jeeves_]

Amiibo collectors: you're not making enough amiibos!

Nintendo: ok we'll make more.

Amiibo: no! Now it's not fun to collect them!

[AlexanderGreensmith]

that rumble u pitchfork green screen was a stroke of beauty scott

[rdandplagg]

“Hey that must be the Pokémon rumble U fan community again!” That makes me laugh everytime

[leojrthetanooki]

scott literally just explained supply and demand in general

[Sleeepy.]

Great execution on the Bowser joke at the end. Somehow turned a joke that wasn't particularly funny imo, questionable at best, and brought it back in the end making a legitimately funny joke. 9/10

[PugFaceWolfgang]

"How many amiibo can I fit in my mouth?", sounds a bit like Griffens Amiibo Corner.

[comrademuds]

Nintendo under stocks, everyone loses their shit. Nintendo over stocks, everyone loses their shit.

[rashidacollins]

The thing that I am most depresso expresso about is how my Shovel Knight amiibo has a broken shovel tip, therefore he is just Stick Knight.

[jonispatented]

3:18 this is called foreshadowing. Take notes.

[erickao]

I don't even care about the in-game functions. I just want them to sit pretty on my shelf.

[averyavi]

"Yeesh I wouldn't stick him in my mouth"

*Griffin McElroy has left the chat*

[Questie]

The "How Many Amiibo can I fit in my mouth" joke at the end made me laugh way more than it should've

[RandomPengu]

"Should've been part of the game when it shipped instead of being behind a plastic paywall"
I'm looking at you SkywardSword.

Fun Fact: This was the first Scott the Woz episode I ever watched. Thank you amiibo, for introducing me to my hero.
