Hey, everyone! I've been gone a while. Thanks for being patient with me as I navigate all of this. If you want to support me and my videos, I'm running that special offer on patreon.com/nerdsync right now for Scoobtober! I really rely on your support through Patreon more than ever these days. So thank you to those who have the ability and desire to help me create more of these videos. It's the #1 thing I love doing in the whole world 💜
Take take for yourself bro! We can wait! Also, if you ever want to finish Iron Man, I'd appreciate it! I loved your coverage on the comic filmed Thor and Captain America series- so heres one fan that enjoyed them!
Rewatch Batman BEYOND man if you can. I appreciate much more as an adult. It gives the future-escapism vibe but it had a lot of good messages without it feeling forced.
Hey if I wasn't a broke ass I would be a patron. Thank you for all of the work you put in to educate us about comics so we can be like actually.... I think I share the Batman's one rule video like once a month to fans who don't know
whenever someone brings up "formulaic = bad" i always point them to Phineas and Ferb. wonderfully formulaic, never gets stale. to your point about rewatching being worth a lot, i absolutely agree with. whether it's Lord of the Rings, or Clone Wars, or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, or replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 or Halo 3 for the 100th time, it's comfort food. new is nice, but old is also nice.
Scott, Scott. Your brain isn't broken. It's just different, and therapy helps you understand and work with it better. You, my good man, have a good brain.
Not being ok is OK, but when I’m feeling down I look back at my childhood cartoon favorites, ace Ventura animated series, ghostbusters animated series, Sonic The Hedgehog, pink panther from the 90s series, and wishbone from PBS 🐶
I personally dont watch show when im in a depressed mood, but im 15 and it always shocks me that nobody my age knows about pink panther in the 90s or in general
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is definitely one of my favorite iterations of the character. It both spoofs, and yet is very respectful, of many of the troops in Scooby-Doo cartoons. Scooby as a puppy is awfully cute! I'm not ashamed to admit it!
This might not mean much coming from a stranger but take care of yourself man. Remember, you have a choice and you can choose to make things better. Just take it one day at a time.
@@jodasjones67 both and when I was a kid there was a (live action) show with kids (and a cocker spaniel) that solved mysteries ..i think I mostly remember the dog on that one.
You know, I'm reminded of that quote in Bojack Horseman, when HollyHock says "It's okay to cry, and I shouldn't feel bad for feeling bad" I think of that quote alot, and it gets me through some days that are difficult
@@NerdSyncProductions considering he did like a five hour video on digimon and I watched half of it with zero interest in digimon- you guys could and should go ten hours on Scooby Doo. That and the second door podcast I listen to ended and I need to fill the hole
*A QUICK NOTE AND APOLOGY:* I really fought myself on if I should use the phrase “my brain is broken” in the video when talking about ADHD for this exact reason. It’s very new to me and I personally want it treated for myself, and my therapist even heavily suggested that I should get it treated with medication. I know medication isn’t the right way to manage ADHD for everyone. Some people can get by on their own. Some people just need therapy. Some people need therapy and medication. Everyone’s different. There is no “fix." So on that note, apologies if my language made it seem like I think everyone with ADHD has “broken brains.” That was not my intent at all. That’s just how I personally feel about my own brain, and maybe that’s the wrong way to look at it. It's all very new to me. But I do appreciate everyone with ADHD in the comments being incredibly supportive and kind as I navigate this new part of my life. Thank you 💜
Hi! I have ADHD, and I dunno if it helps, but a few really good resources for me have been the CZcams channel "How to ADHD", and additudemag Wishing you the best! Also, knowing you have ADHD is going to help a lot. It's a process, but you'll be able to learn how to work with it, rather than having it work against you. It can be hard, and it'll take time, but it's going to help you in the long run. Learning how ADHD affects you can be scary, but it's also a relief in a lot of ways. You just have to remind yourself that it's not all your fault, and that struggling doesn't make you *insert any negative adjectives you may use here*. It gets easier, it just takes time. You've got this!
I'm sure some people appreciate the apology, but I don't think it was necessary. I remember the early days after getting diagnosed, being able to say that my brain was broken was a hell of an improvement of thinking that it was all of me that was broken (and in a way that couldn't be helped).
You know, Scott, that was the one good thing about the dark Phoenix movie- The quote right when Jean arrives at the school as a kid. I would rewatch it, no matter how disappointing that movie was...
Don’t worry about it, I have ADHD and I always thought of myself as less of a person when I’m not on medication. It didn’t even register as a slightly untrue statement to me, though it is nice to hear some people can handle the situation better
James Bond Jr. destorys his uncle's prized Aston Martin DB5, which is then rebuilt into a red sports car as a gift to Jr. from Bond Sr. (the uncle, remember). Did that really happen, or did I just imagine the sort of nonsense one would expect judging by the intro alone? I'll never tell.
Fun fact. That should be James Bond the 2nd. Jr is for your child, the 2nd is for someone who’s not your kid. So I think it’s canon that James Bond was truly the father.
As someone who also discovered they are neurodivergent over the past few months, I hope you know how much I appreciated you talking about your ADHD diagnosis ❤️
Pup named Scooby Doo is a great show to relax with. It cheers up anyone in a sour mood and really brings a chill atmosphere thanks to the humor and beautiful jazz music. I'm glad you've made another great video and please- dedicate some time to yourself. Anytime you don't feel like doing something- take time to ease your mind, body and soul!
I have loved your content for years now and continue to adore everything you post, and I'm sure many people feel the same way. It's alright to not feel 100%, do whatcha gotta do and whenever you are ready to put out whatever you feel like putting out, I and many others will gladly be here to watch it and support you as best we can :)
Hang in there Scott! Panic attacks can be random and weird! You’re an awesome content creator! Quality > Quantity! Best of luck dude; I’ll be praying for ya!
This man manages to make videos on topics I've never cared for in my entire life and make me interested in listening to him talking about it for 30mins to an hour each time
I will never dislike a someone talking about their panic attacks. For those that have been through it, can be scary. Wish the best for you. Also almost spit out my drink hearing you like Kiki delivery service. Always suprises me when a non anime youtuber says they like an anime.
I felt the need to let you know that, simpler set or not, this video still very much felt aesthetically like a NerdSync video. Don't ever start to doubt that we'll lose interest in you over something so trivial, Scott. We will always want to hear your input on these subjects. I've learned a massive amount from your videos, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so for years to come.
I love that you mentioned that how rewatching a media of comfort, because you already know what happens in the show, gives you a prediction of your feelings, which kind of gives you a bit of control over your mood, which as you said, makes a huge difference when you're going through darker/difficult episodes. I've felt stupidly guilty in the past watching various movies I knew were socially considered dumb, but were the trash I needed at the time, and I have negatively judged myself for watching that trash. So hearing you say that bit gave me some validation. My brain picked that trash for a reason, let me enjoy my trash, haha. And as an aside, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a show I enjoyed as a kid too! I don't ever hear it talked about, and while it's not a surprise coming from you, I'm glad you brought it up. Gave me some nostalgia feels x3 I'm glad you seem to be doing better, I hope things settle for you soon, and you can squeeze in some relaxation time :)
There is literally nothing wrong with being formulaic, quite the opposite, being formulaic is so often a good thing. When something is formulaic, it means it's predictable but being predictable also means that something is dependable! And dependability is a great thing, it's a form of stability every heathy human needs! After a long hard day, week or month do you want something strange, unfamiliar, or unknown? No, you want something familiar or formulaic so your brain/body and reset and relax. You need these beacons of stability otherwise you're liable to go crazy! It's why human need (formulaic) schedules in their lives, they need a stable place to live, and need stable people around them. Being formulaic is the backbone of human society and that's a good thing! Not only that, but are humans are literally programed to recognize and enjoy formulaic things in media. That was the entire argument behind Campbell's Hero's Journey. He argued that a plethora of stories throughout human history followed the same basic structure that appeals to humans on a biological level. And because these stories appealed to us on this biological level, they were easily understood and enjoyed by humans. But recently, a lot of creators/storytellers are putting too much focus on making modern media "new" or radically different just for the sake of it. It's likee being new of different is automatically good! Such a philosophy is a direct response to the formulaic and it's missing the entire point of why being formulaic is so important! The formulaic represents dependability and stability in stories and that's a great thing. It lets us understand stories on an intimate level and even lets us identify and analyze differences in the formula when they do emerge. Like the Hero's Journey is a story structure that has been at work for thousands of years yet I see people calling it "tired" or "boring" or "predicable". They are essentially calling it obsolete but it can't be obsolete when our brains are programed to enjoy it. And you can tell lots of different hero journey stories even when the same fundamental structure is. the same. Same with Scooby Doo, every mystery is different even when the formula is the same. Look, I'm not trying change, innovation or things that are new are bad. Change can be great and people need to expand their boundaries. All that I am saying is that change, innovation, or the new isn't automatically good just because it's different and we shouldn't act as if being formulaic bad thing and needs to be eliminated. Formulaic-ism is rooted in the human psyche and instead of fighting this fundamental part of our brain, we should be embracing it and using it as a tool to tell and understand stories. That's the best and most efficient way to tell impactful *and* enjoyable stories.
*Taking notes* And it should be noted that the juxtaposition of formula versus innovation can make said changes even more impactful! Or that formulaic stories can form the backbone, but be used to explore more complex and thought provoking ideas! You need a status quo or a formula within your story so it remains internally consistent, (otherwise you’re story is gonna be all over the place) and having aspects of a story be consistent and reliable can be a real source of comfort, which prevents the audience from being to jarred. It’s all about striking the right balance of tried and true and innovative storytelling!
I literally just went to my own first medication appointment today for a mood disorder and ADHD without health insurance (Plus I start paying for a one-bedroom apartment in November and just started two new jobs last month and took a semester off school and other stuff) and I was exhausted and clicked this video without reading the full title cause I saw nerd sync and scooby doo and honestly this video felt really weirdly comforting in a strange way that I wasn't alone. I really hope things get better for you and thank you so much for being so open. I desperately needed something to stop me from potentially spiraling and this video really helped even if only temporarily.
Man not until finding you did I realize I have a long history with scooby doo without even realizing it. Id say that what’s new scooby doo is my personal favorite since it’s the one I grew up with. That being said mystery inc is second on the list but I relent it’s definitely the better show. A pup actually lands third place but all things considered I’d say that’s pretty good. As is the show. Pretty goooood.
Recently, I've been rewatching Disney's Gargoyles. Other than that. Community has been my most rewatched series for a few years now. The Owl House, Amphibia, Ducktales (2017), and Gravity Falls are more recent shows that I'll binge or rewatch every so often, usually in succession I used to rewatch Phineas and Ferb a whole lot until my nephew started binging it.
Currently 'Owl House', 'Leverage', 'Dark Angel', and 'Dead Like Me'. 'Farscape' and 'Deep Space Nine' in the past and probably again in the future. Around this type of year I like to watch 'Trick 'r Treat' and 'Over the Garden Wall' as well. Winter time is for Christmas episodes of shows, enjoy the 'Grimm' episodes especially, even as I look back cringing at it's copaganda.
Scott! My dude! I hope you are feeling better after the rollercoaster of life changes and mental challenges. Your videos are always spectacular; well-researched, informative, and entertaining! Thank you for keeping us updated and keeping the channel going. I wish you the best because you are the best!
I met Tom rugger (creater, producer, writer on pup, he also worked on stuff like animaniacs, batman the animated series) a few weeks ago, and as almost as big fan of scoob (specifically pup) as Scott to hear Tom nerd out about his baby filled my with pure joy, and he even validated me "wow you really know your scoob" he carried our conversation. He said so many things about pup. It was perfect.
You can talk about mental health and Scooby-Doo all you like. I will always be here for it, and judging by the comments, many of us will be here for it.
@@NerdSyncProductions Thank YOU I also suffer from depression, and this video has inspired me to give Scooby-Doo a try as a warm emotional blanket. I expect positive results.
Every video you make I go into it thinking I'll be here for a few minutes and leave, but that's not what happens! You make me stay here wanting more making me stay and watch for the whole video. That happens every single one of your videos! Another amazing and interesting video for someone who has never watched Scooby-Doo!
Haven't watched the full video yet, just at the beginning, but yes yay for normalizing talking about mental health problems and shout out to therapists.
@@NerdSyncProductions If there are people reacting that way then they are part of the problem. They are part of why there’s a stigma against talking about mental health. Don’t listen to them, Scott. You’re doing great.
Always loved this show, along with all the other old animated Scooby shows. I'm glad there's someone out there talking about it, a lot of this stuff seems to be kind of forgotten. Loving your channel, keep it up!
The new set looks great. Even though it doesn’t have any props or anything in the background, It feels very comforting. I really love it more than any of the previous sets you have used.
Oh man this video hit home. Earlier this year I ended up in a mental health facility for a while. After I left I continued having bouts of extreme paranoia due to what got me into the facility in the first place. I was scared to do anything. Leaving the house, watching movies, talking or texting on the phone, everything caused intense anxiety and paranoia. Except for Scooby Doo. Scooby Doo, Where Are You? was literally the only thing I could watch without having a panic attack, and I happily watched all 3 seasons in about a week or so. I'm a lot better now, and have been for some months. But I'll never forget that Scooby was the biggest comfort (aside from my friends and family who visited me) during those times. Thank you for making this video, and I'm glad to see you making content like this. From a life long Scooby lover to another, you're the best.
It is always weird when it comes to creative fulfillment. Sometimes you just want to work on something that just isn't in your scope at the time. I keep getting ideas that would work amazing for a show, but I'm an author at best. I do not have a full animation studio to produce a show that I want. I just always try and make something that is mine.
I started to watch just for the known bits of the comicverse, but You're such a sincere, honest and passionate creator, that I will definitely stay on this channel and watch every time You will post a new video. All the best for You and Emily and rest of Your gang!
This video meant a lot to me. I’ve been struggling lately and feeling stuck in a loop, and I’ve been finding comfort in really formulaic videos and shows (obviously this one is an exception 😂). Your timing always feels perfect for whatever I’m going through too. So thank you for continuing to make your videos! Wishing you the best!
Your videos make me feel so heard scott, the way you described what a comfort movie/show is is exactly right. It's the same reason I watch descendants over an over again for no apparent reason, as well as phineas and ferb. Every video you make is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you. We love you 🥰
I felt very validated by this video, I've been there with my depression and anxiety and I've never subscribed to someone so fast. I've never wanted to support someone so much thank you so much you're doing great!!
I was just diagnosed this year with ADHD. I’m 35 and thought I just had anxiety (GAD) since I was 16. For me, the diagnosis is freeing, but I’m still trying to find a medication that works. Thank you for using your voice to make me feel less lost and alone.
You have always been an extremely talented story teller, and you will soon be able to make more elaborate videos again! As a fellow depressed 30-something with lots of anxiety problems as well as ADHD (that wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood), NerdSync works like a comfort show for me. I realise that this post will be completely drowned in your massive comment section, but know that you are really making a difference and we are many who can relate to what you are going through.
Just a few minutes in and I feel the need to say, don’t worry. Your audience, (me included), love your videos and just want to support you. I’ve had the largest panic attack and emotional breakdown a couple days age. Your videos are pieces of comfort. Hope you feel a bit better at some point though.
This video brought a lot of comfort to me. I'm fifteen, I have (undiagnosed) anxiety, OCD and possibly depression. I often find things like children's media so comforting and it really helps to know I'm not the only one ❤ take care
This is my introduction to you. The first time you have ever crossed my recommended. I think you’re great. Inspiring. Relatable. Thanks for this video. I came here because I love Scooby Doo, and found feelings.
Oh my god Scott, for literally the last year I’ve been noticing and being like “Scott sounds very adhd as well” and literally JUST saw a video the other day about the creators and people we idolize being the people most similar to us, most of my friends are adhd as well by that same osmosis. I’m excited and scared as well for a lot of new art and life changes and job and comic stuff I’m working on, but we always got this. Even when we don’t.
Shout-out to Neurodiversity! It's about learning what works for you sometimes, learning that you are better at some things and worse at others, & most of all learning that it's ok and that it is just another thing that makes you the person you are.
Aww wouldn’t have guessed it was a standing desk but I heard those really help. But you’ve gone through enough and have been so brave to be working hard and that’s so awesome that you’ve got back to work! And I wonder if maybe you can’t work on the iron man maybe being a lot of stressful things going on in the show as well as your life But I really get this for you do whatever saves you makes you happy and mentally healthy ^-^
It's a great desk! No joke, I was looking at ordering one from them before they contacted me, Spooky timing! And yeah, I've got a lot going on, but hearing messages of support from people like you helps a lot. Thank you!
As someone who also struggles with anxiety, depression and various other issues, I love having a creator that admits to not struggling with things, it really grounds the channel and reminds everyone that creators are people first. ❤️😊
that green light on your side will always make me smile. your channel is pretty much my own comfort media, even though its not always the happiest videos, you inspire me to be creative and make me happy.
Hey Scott, I just wanted to say tha k you for being you. Your videos have always been a major comfort to me. I hope you're taking care of yourself man, seriously.
Good luck with everything going forward and congratulations on learning something new about yourself (As someone with Aspergers I relate to the feeling of suddenly having a bunch of stuff snap into place after learning more about how my brain works). Therapy is important and you are the best thing in your life you can invest in. I hope things start looking up for you and keep getting better. p.s. I know it's a joke, but your brain is not broken. Just unique. Sometimes it feels like a good thing, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always 100% yours to explore.
I was so excited to watch this the moment it popped up for me, and I'm so glad I did. I totally understand the pull of a comfort show (I went through a Simpsons phase last year, given the world & the fact the show was on Disney+), and I've enjoyed learning about what other people consider their comfort shows (Kiki does seem to get a lot of support on that front). I never watched A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (okay, might've played a few times when I was working at a video store), but I am so glad it brings you joy and I'm honestly considering giving it a whirl after your fantastic endorsement. I can't explain why, but 13 Ghosts still has a special place in my heart, I think it might have to do with Vincent Price and having it on VHS (taped off TV, like my childhood copies of Star Wars), though I've only revisited that through CZcams, and don't get around to watching Scooby stuff nearly as much as I'd like. More importantly: I've long loved watching your work, Scott, because of the passion you put into it - it's obvious in your enthusiastic delivery and just how dedicated you are, and the way you've displayed that passion through creative exploration (like your narratives, props, and so much more). While I've appreciated that aspect, I am so happy to watch (sometimes just listen) to whatever you produce however you present it, as long as that passion remains. If that means more Scooby vids, fantastic. If that means more about comics or D&D or other influential people you admire or wish to emulate more, I'll be happy to watch that, too. Thank you for the wonderful videos you've provided, and for the joy and knowledge it has brought to my life, among so many others. P.S.: ...wait, is that Charl? Oh, yeah. That's an ideal desk indeed.
This video really helped… even though it’s about scooby doo lol. The last two months was a shitshow and this really helped me feel not alone, so thanks scott
Scott, I love your videos and the Scooby Doo deep-dives (rlly fun to say btw) especially. I love creators who are willing to open conversations about complicated topics, even (sometimes especially) under a thick veneer of silliness and absurdity. I hope you continue to find new ways to be honest with your audience, whether it's about what you love, what you think, or what you feel. If you're still worried that your mental health annoys people, I think you're focusing on the wrong part of your audience. Not to speak for strangers, but I'm confident that most of us want you to succeed, not for our own benefit, but for yours. You make people happy. We want the same for you.
I was so exited for this video to come out, but then I had a bit of a mental break down. I clicked on the video after I called down a bit, but almost clicked off because if felt a bit too real. I paused it instead and when to eat and talk to my mom about my anxiety. I felt a lot better after talking to her. I came back to the video where you talked about your anxiety and depression, the way you put it towards the end made it feel a bit more comforting or manageable I don't know, but it made me feel better. I know it was a coincident, but thank you I appreciate it.
You've become my new favorite content creator of 2021, sorry about the Iron Man video and your recent struggles. I never really comment, or leave likes, or even venture to Patreon, but for you, I'll make that exception. I do hope you can beat your Demon in a Bottle someday, but if it's too much, so be it. Take care of yourself
It’s Mercury Retrograde!!! This month has been hard on all of us! Especially people battling anxiety and depression. Take your time. Find your peace. We can wait for the Iron Man video but please don’t give up on the video. Your other videos in that series so far has been amazing!! Also , A Pup named Scooby-Doo is my absolute favorite version of Scooby-Doo too and I love how you highlighted that a lot of A Scooby- Doo canon came from this show. A lot of fans tend to ignore these facts when discussing which version is the most definitive. Good job on this video. Take care of yourself. If it helps, your videos give me joy and I look forward to them whenever you upload. You’re one of my favorite CZcamsrs, if not the most favorite! Keep following your passion!!!
Scott, I empathize with what you’re going through. Anxiety and depression are no joke. I’ve been in similar situations, and things looked bleak for a while, but so long as you have a good support structure, things will work out however they’re supposed to. As far as your videos are concerned, do what you can with what you have. Your fans/CZcams community will love and support you for being you and putting out content that is interesting to you. Your passion shines through in all your work. Never forget to take time for yourself, as your health is far more important than making content for us. Keep up the great work!
All of the Scobby Doo series has been a go-to when I am down. I also suffer from major anxiety issues. They almost always are started by 'stupid', minor issues. That does not mean they are easy to deal with or any easier to deal with than more 'serious' issues.
I was thinking about this today. Somebody told me spilling random thoughts in my journals is very therapeutic, but I don't write something unless I feel like it's worth writing. Like you with talking. I feel stuck working on my own projects a lot of the time. Depression and panic attacks are stressful. I'm glad you're feeling joy. I'll be praying for you.
Nothing to be ashamed of. A PUP NAMED SCOOBY-DOO is one of my FAVORITE renditions of the characters. The rubbery, Tex Avery-style take gags, the silliness of the monsters and the music were pure fun. But overall, just take care of yourself mentally. Good to hear you're doing therapy. It's done WONDERS for me.
This really nailed why I like Scooby Doo. Anytime I'm struggling I watch it and I can recite some episodes word for word. I know where all the best parts are and even if I get up and leave I can come back and know exactly what is happening. I don't need a lot of energy to follow the story and that is really important.
It's always been my fav too! I didn't watch it quite as much as the original as it wasn't on tv as often. But of all the serieses it's the opening for this one that has lodged its self forever in my mind as the, it is time to get excited song
I loved this show as a kid! I think I used to watch the re-runs on Boomerang, it was my favorite home sick cartoon. The artstyle and scooby were all so cute and fun! I think I even used to try and do the little dances they did back in kindergarten.
I just... have no words for how much I love this channel and everything that Scott does. There is so much I'd love to rant on about here. How I relate to everything you're going through on a spiritual level. How I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 1st grade but it's never really been something I've given much thought to since I've *always had it,* but is probably the root cause of a lot of my problems. I just appreciate Scott's openness and his incredibly genuine vibe. It's rare that I don't end up feeling SOMETHING every time I watch a NerdSync video. Whether it's laughing/smiling so much my cheeks hurt, or the fact that I tear up every time he talks about mental illness. This is one of the best channels on CZcams. Long live Scott, long live NerdSync!
I remember always watching this every morning before school or when I stayed home sick. I was an older elementary school but I remember always thinking "why am I watching this baby show?" But then I would end up sometimes watching it for hours on end and would go on to continue it for years. Lots of fun nastolgic memories. Glad you're talking about mental health issues! It's very validating for my own experiences of mental hardships. Thank goodness for therapy!
My go-to binge list: Movie: Shawshank Redemption Cartoons: Justice League / JLU series Anime: Hajime no Ippo Also, I've been rewatching your videos during the pandemic, and I've watched the Endgame Thor video probably the most, whenever anxiety hits me like a m*f*er truck before sleeping. So, thank you Scott for getting me through the times.
Hmmm, I sent Scott the dvds of the Iron Man cartoon, hoping to help him to continue his series. I did not want to give him anxiety attacks! Hope you're getting through it ok Scott!
Tbh, i'm not that one subscriber that watches your videos right when you upload them, but i'm that one subscriber that watches your videos when i feel alone and i need a friend to have a really good and interesting convo with. You're my comfort CZcamsr and i really appreciate what you do bc you've created a safe place for all anxious nerds like me, so thank you so much, Scott.
Scott I’m glad that you decided to make another video I’m just glad that you are back it doesn’t really matter about audio or lighting or anything just so long as we can hear and see you it’s good for me
It is so strange that I love a Pup Named Scooby Doo in that same "soul food" kind of way. I mean, there are other shows I love more, but it's one of those shows like the Simpsons that I can just watch over and over again and not really care. Just almost veg out too. It was one of my earliest shows to feel that way as well, because I remember watching that show and two stupid dogs and just be contempt with watching it even if I knew it was a "rerun" or super old or anything else. It's something that I could turn to and just feel at balanced with. Now there are a few more shows that I think I might add to that... Gargoyles... as long as it's not the goliath chronicles, and maybe Parks and Recreation. I think Young Justice and Wolverine and the X-Men come close to me liking the shows in that way... but they just aren't quiet there. Space Ghost Coast to Coast is also really close to that place of "soul food", but not quite there (Or rather, you know, sometimes you just have that feeling of "nah, don't feel like watching this").
19:35 Oh man, after all the Scott Pilgrim love and the Pup Named Scooby Doo love, I finally see a difference... but I totally feel like I get it! It's probably wrong or only partial of the picture, but I FEEL like I get it so don't take that away from me! 😭 Lol It feels like uncertainty is a part of your trigger and something the comfort food needs to sooth. I totally get that, probably like everyone else in the world, but it's not an issue that bothers me as much, at least not on the front end. My Comfort food has got to be sacarin, it's got to be sweet, because I know it's essentially a safe place I can use to hide, cool down, and prep myself for before returning back into this outside world. It's why I say Only those early seasons of Gargoyles work for me. Not because they are perfect, but because I don't have mass negative emotions tied to those seasons, and it's similar for episodes. Like for example I Love, Love, LOVE One Piece. It's one of my favorite things, I essentially grew up with it, it's an experience that I can't really relate to anything else. One thing I love to do about it is watch people's reactions who've never actually followed the series, and going back to rewatch old episodes, going back to reread old parts and chapters... but I can't just blindly watch every episode. Some things I have to be in "the right mood" for otherwise it spirals me into that deep dark place of depression, or sends me into a high anxiety state that drives you into feels of physical pain. Just emotional states that I know my mind and body can't handle at that moment. So there are some stuff that I enjoy like that, that I essentially feel like I need to run from, to keep myself stable. It's not the same thing as irrational triggers, although could be related, as I've become older I've noticed that sometimes I can feel nostalgic even for the crazy, making you want to taste the fire, even for a second, but I would still say it's not the same thing, because it is stuff that I can genuinely enjoy, even in that moment. (Or maybe it can be some kind of weird PTSD, because I was going to explain like "Not being in the mood to watch a Thriller or a Horror movie because you already feel on edge", but I think the most relatable thing I can say is the conundrum of wanting to support black media, wanting to support black actors, and not wanting people to just ignore topics like racism or how bad slavery actually was, you know, cut through the propaganda... but at the same time, don't want to watch another "Slave movie" or "Civil Rights film" as a black person. It doesn't feel like that same kind of PTSD, but the sensation feels very similar. Maybe what I like about those parts that I can't always consume is that nostalgia for the crazy, for the emotional intensity, for the sense of broken... Point is, I just can't blindly take it even if I know it is coming)
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was one of my favorite shows to watch on boomerang during breaks from school since they would always show it in the middle of the day when I would normally have class. What a fun walk down memory lane so thanks for reminding me of the show! And thanks for being so open about your mental health with everyone - I know it’s not an easy thing to do but it goes a long way with reducing the stigma around mental health and going to therapy. Wishing you nothing but the best as you begin that journey!
honestly, I was always more of a fan for the "nerd makes quick vids at home" style of videos. I still watched the longer ones, because content is nice, but the "weird trivia facts" are a favorite of mine.
Welcome to the ADHD squad. Keep an eye out for autism, it tends to be hanging around out of sight, waiting to pounce. Joking aside, autism is wildly misunderstood by ADHD online personalities and content creators (as in people who make content about ADHD, not people who have ADHD and also make content) but is co-morbid with ADHD between 30% and 66% of time. It's actually more common in adult diagnosed people because the symptoms of one often compensate or mask the other. I was diagnosed with autism first and then ADHD 5 years later and it was so hard trying to get a handle on one without understanding the other.
Thank you for making something worth binge watching. I don’t watch any other CZcams videos more than 10 minutes due to my ADD (ADHD’s less fun cousin), but you are engaging, honest and fun, which keeps my brain intrigued. Our brains aren’t flawed, but we do need to be honest with ourselves and find the tools to keep us from being overwhelmed On a technical note, your setup, video and audio quality were great. I have been feeling lately that the staged sets CZcamsrs use are a bit overused. The simpler, real life set works for me.
dude you made me cry at two am, jeeze! I didn't expect this vid to be quite so hopeful and heavy at the same time. A Pup Named Scooby Doo was defiantly my fav scoob show as a kiddo too. Hope you're doing ok
this is the second video I have seen by you, but halfway through this one i subscribed after I heard you talk about anxiety and comfort shows and your own struggles with your channel. this spoke so deeply and made me happy knowing I am not the only one. i mean, realistically I know many other people have anxiety but having it verbalized and even the way you discuss topics makes me feel not alone as well as making me feel like I too could persue a dream of making a youtube account! thank you so much your channel is really great :)
Hey, haven’t finished the video yet. But you just said something about being annoying about talking about your mental health. I just want to say that I find you talking about your mental health genuinely helpful to me. Like it makes me feel less alone to hear about you dealing with the same stuff. You are allowed to also not talk about your mental health of course. I also enjoy your nerd content when it’s less personal. But never feel bad about talking about what you want to, even if you want to talk about yourself for a bit.
Thank you. I've been depressed for quite a while and, I didn't know why I kept wanting to rewatch movies/ TV shows but hearing you say it and explain it helped everything make sense comfort is comforting and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's good to see you back, Scott. I join you in living the questions of fulfillment, limitations and the creativity that can come from constriction. I was so inspired by the ideas you shared in the collage video, I emailed you an offer to share with you a collage method that I teach. That offer remains open 😊
"I was unintentionally making videos back to back about how limitations can be creatively freeing...and now look where I am" --You Chekhov's gun'ed yourself
As someone who was diagnosed with ADD from a young age, your comment of living life on hard mode really hit home. I think it's a shame that there are people who don't realize their brain works differently from other people, not because they can't see the difficulties they have, but more because they don't have any other reference point. I am so glad you're getting help, and you have a comfort activity to help you through the hard times.
As a person who makes the occasional comic with a friend of mine... it doesn't sound silly at all. I get that anxiety. Its how I used to feel in high school with certain projects but goes a lot deeper. Nothing to be ashamed of. You needed this.
Hey, everyone! I've been gone a while. Thanks for being patient with me as I navigate all of this. If you want to support me and my videos, I'm running that special offer on patreon.com/nerdsync right now for Scoobtober! I really rely on your support through Patreon more than ever these days. So thank you to those who have the ability and desire to help me create more of these videos. It's the #1 thing I love doing in the whole world 💜
Take take for yourself bro! We can wait! Also, if you ever want to finish Iron Man, I'd appreciate it! I loved your coverage on the comic filmed Thor and Captain America series- so heres one fan that enjoyed them!
Rewatch Batman BEYOND man if you can. I appreciate much more as an adult. It gives the future-escapism vibe but it had a lot of good messages without it feeling forced.
Hey at least a pup named Scooby-Doo it's more watchable there Monday night raw let's be honest
I'm so excited for that commentary track!😄
Hey if I wasn't a broke ass I would be a patron. Thank you for all of the work you put in to educate us about comics so we can be like actually.... I think I share the Batman's one rule video like once a month to fans who don't know
whenever someone brings up "formulaic = bad" i always point them to Phineas and Ferb. wonderfully formulaic, never gets stale. to your point about rewatching being worth a lot, i absolutely agree with. whether it's Lord of the Rings, or Clone Wars, or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, or replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 or Halo 3 for the 100th time, it's comfort food. new is nice, but old is also nice.
formulas can be great! Phineas and Ferb is a perfect example of how formulas serve a purpose and can be executed extremely well!
Exactly! Formulas are like recipes- did you cook it right?
Lord of the Rings is AWESOME! I have watched the first 3 several times.
Exactly what I thought of, the LotR trilogy is chicken noodle soup for my soul
Litteraly on my... Maybe 8th playthrough of RDR2 rn as I watched this video lol. Had this in the background as I played
Scott, Scott. Your brain isn't broken. It's just different, and therapy helps you understand and work with it better. You, my good man, have a good brain.
Your meat space suit has character.
Not being ok is OK, but when I’m feeling down I look back at my childhood cartoon favorites, ace Ventura animated series, ghostbusters animated series, Sonic The Hedgehog, pink panther from the 90s series, and wishbone from PBS 🐶
What a fun selection!
As long as you're not watching the Ace Ventura movies.
I personally dont watch show when im in a depressed mood, but im 15 and it always shocks me that nobody my age knows about pink panther in the 90s or in general
Wishbone was the sh!t!!!
@@IndigoatTheTerrible The original Ace Ventura... did not age well. It is among the more transphobic films of the era.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is definitely one of my favorite iterations of the character. It both spoofs, and yet is very respectful, of many of the troops in Scooby-Doo cartoons. Scooby as a puppy is awfully cute! I'm not ashamed to admit it!
Puppy Scoob is adorable!
@@NerdSyncProductions I'm old school but only because I was a kid during the first, original run (if I'm remembering correctly).
Same
@@NerdSyncProductions Remember that in "A Bicycle Built For Boo", Daphne got her new boots muddy?
He says scoobtober like he doesn’t talk about scoob all the time… and i love him so much
I’m in rehab right now and this video made me feel immediately better….which is saying a lot, actually. Thanks for working through it. Means a lot
thanks, Rory! hope all is well!
This might not mean much coming from a stranger but take care of yourself man. Remember, you have a choice and you can choose to make things better. Just take it one day at a time.
I love those shows
Jesus loves you
@@scrubbingdoubles8585 Amen buddy! =)
"I'm a sucker for a cartoon dog solving mysteries show!"
Me: Same.
Me to sort of
Which One?
@@jodasjones67 both and when I was a kid there was a (live action) show with kids (and a cocker spaniel) that solved mysteries
..i think I mostly remember the dog on that one.
You know, I'm reminded of that quote in Bojack Horseman, when HollyHock says "It's okay to cry, and I shouldn't feel bad for feeling bad" I think of that quote alot, and it gets me through some days that are difficult
You and Billiam should collab on a Scooby Doo video together. Maybe YOU can help find his lost sea monkeys.
I adore Billiam's videos! His takes on Scooby are excellent!
@@NerdSyncProductions considering he did like a five hour video on digimon and I watched half of it with zero interest in digimon- you guys could and should go ten hours on Scooby Doo. That and the second door podcast I listen to ended and I need to fill the hole
*A QUICK NOTE AND APOLOGY:* I really fought myself on if I should use the phrase “my brain is broken” in the video when talking about ADHD for this exact reason. It’s very new to me and I personally want it treated for myself, and my therapist even heavily suggested that I should get it treated with medication. I know medication isn’t the right way to manage ADHD for everyone. Some people can get by on their own. Some people just need therapy. Some people need therapy and medication. Everyone’s different. There is no “fix."
So on that note, apologies if my language made it seem like I think everyone with ADHD has “broken brains.” That was not my intent at all. That’s just how I personally feel about my own brain, and maybe that’s the wrong way to look at it. It's all very new to me. But I do appreciate everyone with ADHD in the comments being incredibly supportive and kind as I navigate this new part of my life. Thank you 💜
Hi! I have ADHD, and I dunno if it helps, but a few really good resources for me have been the CZcams channel "How to ADHD", and additudemag
Wishing you the best!
Also, knowing you have ADHD is going to help a lot. It's a process, but you'll be able to learn how to work with it, rather than having it work against you. It can be hard, and it'll take time, but it's going to help you in the long run. Learning how ADHD affects you can be scary, but it's also a relief in a lot of ways. You just have to remind yourself that it's not all your fault, and that struggling doesn't make you *insert any negative adjectives you may use here*. It gets easier, it just takes time. You've got this!
I'm sure some people appreciate the apology, but I don't think it was necessary. I remember the early days after getting diagnosed, being able to say that my brain was broken was a hell of an improvement of thinking that it was all of me that was broken (and in a way that couldn't be helped).
You know, Scott, that was the one good thing about the dark Phoenix movie- The quote right when Jean arrives at the school as a kid. I would rewatch it, no matter how disappointing that movie was...
Don’t worry about it, I have ADHD and I always thought of myself as less of a person when I’m not on medication. It didn’t even register as a slightly untrue statement to me, though it is nice to hear some people can handle the situation better
As someone with ADHD I often feel very much as though my brain is broken so honestly it just felt quite relatable
Man I can't believe Scott commissioned a cartoon intro for James Bond Jr. Because there's no way that's a real thing, right?
I could have spent my money on a new set or a fake intro to James Bond Jr. and I think I spent it wisely haha
It was real... I was there.
"James Bond, Jr. chases S.C.U.M. all over the world!!"
James Bond Jr. destorys his uncle's prized Aston Martin DB5, which is then rebuilt into a red sports car as a gift to Jr. from Bond Sr. (the uncle, remember).
Did that really happen, or did I just imagine the sort of nonsense one would expect judging by the intro alone?
I'll never tell.
Fun fact. That should be James Bond the 2nd. Jr is for your child, the 2nd is for someone who’s not your kid. So I think it’s canon that James Bond was truly the father.
@@craigtodd1008 Did you know that in this show, Daphne got her new boots dirty? It was hilarious!
As someone who also discovered they are neurodivergent over the past few months, I hope you know how much I appreciated you talking about your ADHD diagnosis ❤️
Hey thanks Owen!
@@NerdSyncProductions Aww… as someone with ADHD as well, thank you so much Scott for everything you’ve said! ❤️
Pup named Scooby Doo is a great show to relax with. It cheers up anyone in a sour mood and really brings a chill atmosphere thanks to the humor and beautiful jazz music. I'm glad you've made another great video and please- dedicate some time to yourself. Anytime you don't feel like doing something- take time to ease your mind, body and soul!
absolutely! it's helped me get through this rough time
Scott's videos 🤝 APNSD's soundtrack
Being nothing but Bangers
I dont know if that formatted right
Loving this romance-subplot 😍
a penis d soundrack
Tulok is to Scott as Mason is to Tulok.
Oh Tulok, banging with APNS... You are delightfully evil!!!
I have loved your content for years now and continue to adore everything you post, and I'm sure many people feel the same way. It's alright to not feel 100%, do whatcha gotta do and whenever you are ready to put out whatever you feel like putting out, I and many others will gladly be here to watch it and support you as best we can :)
thank you 💜
Yes, please know that we will support you in whatever you do.
Hang in there Scott! Panic attacks can be random and weird! You’re an awesome content creator! Quality > Quantity! Best of luck dude; I’ll be praying for ya!
thanks Isaiah!
@@NerdSyncProductions Of course dude!
@@thedukeofchutney468 I agree. Also, I like the Spider-Man profile picture. Looks super cool.
@@WilliamTarver848 Thanks dude!
This man manages to make videos on topics I've never cared for in my entire life and make me interested in listening to him talking about it for 30mins to an hour each time
I will never dislike a someone talking about their panic attacks. For those that have been through it, can be scary. Wish the best for you.
Also almost spit out my drink hearing you like Kiki delivery service. Always suprises me when a non anime youtuber says they like an anime.
Kiki is hardly anime it’s just a straight up great film
I felt the need to let you know that, simpler set or not, this video still very much felt aesthetically like a NerdSync video.
Don't ever start to doubt that we'll lose interest in you over something so trivial, Scott. We will always want to hear your input on these subjects.
I've learned a massive amount from your videos, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so for years to come.
I haven't seen it yet, but i bet Scott was Redd Herring all along
I love that you mentioned that how rewatching a media of comfort, because you already know what happens in the show, gives you a prediction of your feelings, which kind of gives you a bit of control over your mood, which as you said, makes a huge difference when you're going through darker/difficult episodes. I've felt stupidly guilty in the past watching various movies I knew were socially considered dumb, but were the trash I needed at the time, and I have negatively judged myself for watching that trash. So hearing you say that bit gave me some validation. My brain picked that trash for a reason, let me enjoy my trash, haha. And as an aside, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a show I enjoyed as a kid too! I don't ever hear it talked about, and while it's not a surprise coming from you, I'm glad you brought it up. Gave me some nostalgia feels x3 I'm glad you seem to be doing better, I hope things settle for you soon, and you can squeeze in some relaxation time :)
There is literally nothing wrong with being formulaic, quite the opposite, being formulaic is so often a good thing.
When something is formulaic, it means it's predictable but being predictable also means that something is dependable! And dependability is a great thing, it's a form of stability every heathy human needs! After a long hard day, week or month do you want something strange, unfamiliar, or unknown? No, you want something familiar or formulaic so your brain/body and reset and relax.
You need these beacons of stability otherwise you're liable to go crazy! It's why human need (formulaic) schedules in their lives, they need a stable place to live, and need stable people around them. Being formulaic is the backbone of human society and that's a good thing!
Not only that, but are humans are literally programed to recognize and enjoy formulaic things in media. That was the entire argument behind Campbell's Hero's Journey. He argued that a plethora of stories throughout human history followed the same basic structure that appeals to humans on a biological level. And because these stories appealed to us on this biological level, they were easily understood and enjoyed by humans.
But recently, a lot of creators/storytellers are putting too much focus on making modern media "new" or radically different just for the sake of it. It's likee being new of different is automatically good! Such a philosophy is a direct response to the formulaic and it's missing the entire point of why being formulaic is so important! The formulaic represents dependability and stability in stories and that's a great thing. It lets us understand stories on an intimate level and even lets us identify and analyze differences in the formula when they do emerge.
Like the Hero's Journey is a story structure that has been at work for thousands of years yet I see people calling it "tired" or "boring" or "predicable". They are essentially calling it obsolete but it can't be obsolete when our brains are programed to enjoy it. And you can tell lots of different hero journey stories even when the same fundamental structure is. the same. Same with Scooby Doo, every mystery is different even when the formula is the same.
Look, I'm not trying change, innovation or things that are new are bad. Change can be great and people need to expand their boundaries. All that I am saying is that change, innovation, or the new isn't automatically good just because it's different and we shouldn't act as if being formulaic bad thing and needs to be eliminated. Formulaic-ism is rooted in the human psyche and instead of fighting this fundamental part of our brain, we should be embracing it and using it as a tool to tell and understand stories. That's the best and most efficient way to tell impactful *and* enjoyable stories.
*Taking notes*
And it should be noted that the juxtaposition of formula versus innovation can make said changes even more impactful! Or that formulaic stories can form the backbone, but be used to explore more complex and thought provoking ideas! You need a status quo or a formula within your story so it remains internally consistent, (otherwise you’re story is gonna be all over the place) and having aspects of a story be consistent and reliable can be a real source of comfort, which prevents the audience from being to jarred. It’s all about striking the right balance of tried and true and innovative storytelling!
I literally just went to my own first medication appointment today for a mood disorder and ADHD without health insurance (Plus I start paying for a one-bedroom apartment in November and just started two new jobs last month and took a semester off school and other stuff) and I was exhausted and clicked this video without reading the full title cause I saw nerd sync and scooby doo and honestly this video felt really weirdly comforting in a strange way that I wasn't alone. I really hope things get better for you and thank you so much for being so open. I desperately needed something to stop me from potentially spiraling and this video really helped even if only temporarily.
Man not until finding you did I realize I have a long history with scooby doo without even realizing it.
Id say that what’s new scooby doo is my personal favorite since it’s the one I grew up with. That being said mystery inc is second on the list but I relent it’s definitely the better show. A pup actually lands third place but all things considered I’d say that’s pretty good. As is the show.
Pretty goooood.
All three are exellent shows!
What are your favorite comfort shows and movies? Definitely adding Chef to my list now haha
It's been the Simpsons and through a rough life I know far too much lol
Friends, The Back to the Future trilogy, most Disney movies…
Recently, I've been rewatching Disney's Gargoyles. Other than that. Community has been my most rewatched series for a few years now.
The Owl House, Amphibia, Ducktales (2017), and Gravity Falls are more recent shows that I'll binge or rewatch every so often, usually in succession
I used to rewatch Phineas and Ferb a whole lot until my nephew started binging it.
Star Trek The Next Generation
Currently 'Owl House', 'Leverage', 'Dark Angel', and 'Dead Like Me'. 'Farscape' and 'Deep Space Nine' in the past and probably again in the future.
Around this type of year I like to watch 'Trick 'r Treat' and 'Over the Garden Wall' as well. Winter time is for Christmas episodes of shows, enjoy the 'Grimm' episodes especially, even as I look back cringing at it's copaganda.
Scott! My dude! I hope you are feeling better after the rollercoaster of life changes and mental challenges. Your videos are always spectacular; well-researched, informative, and entertaining! Thank you for keeping us updated and keeping the channel going. I wish you the best because you are the best!
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it!
I met Tom rugger (creater, producer, writer on pup, he also worked on stuff like animaniacs, batman the animated series) a few weeks ago, and as almost as big fan of scoob (specifically pup) as Scott to hear Tom nerd out about his baby filled my with pure joy, and he even validated me "wow you really know your scoob" he carried our conversation. He said so many things about pup. It was perfect.
You can talk about mental health and Scooby-Doo all you like. I will always be here for it, and judging by the comments, many of us will be here for it.
hey, thanks! 💜
@@NerdSyncProductions
Thank YOU
I also suffer from depression, and this video has inspired me to give Scooby-Doo a try as a warm emotional blanket. I expect positive results.
Every video you make I go into it thinking I'll be here for a few minutes and leave, but that's not what happens! You make me stay here wanting more making me stay and watch for the whole video. That happens every single one of your videos! Another amazing and interesting video for someone who has never watched Scooby-Doo!
I cannot believe I can get you to stick around for Scoob videos when you haven't watched it! Amazing!
Scott, I wish you all the best. You seem like such a nice fellow.
thanks Brandon! 💜
Nerdsync is something that has helped me out in 2020, and here, when I'm feeling extra low, a new video. Hope you get better Scott
Haven't watched the full video yet, just at the beginning, but yes yay for normalizing talking about mental health problems and shout out to therapists.
I feel like I do it too much that people get annoyed with it haha
@@NerdSyncProductions If there are people reacting that way then they are part of the problem. They are part of why there’s a stigma against talking about mental health. Don’t listen to them, Scott. You’re doing great.
I haven't watched this show in 30 years and I still have the theme song in my head occasionally. That and Bonkers.
I feel like James Bond Jr being James Bond’s nephew kind of implies that James Bond’s brother is also named James Bond and that’s so funny to me
Always loved this show, along with all the other old animated Scooby shows. I'm glad there's someone out there talking about it, a lot of this stuff seems to be kind of forgotten. Loving your channel, keep it up!
A life lesson that returns like every October for me: Octobers are complicated. It's good to see you again.
Facts
I feel that more than ever.
The new set looks great. Even though it doesn’t have any props or anything in the background, It feels very comforting. I really love it more than any of the previous sets you have used.
Oh man this video hit home. Earlier this year I ended up in a mental health facility for a while. After I left I continued having bouts of extreme paranoia due to what got me into the facility in the first place. I was scared to do anything. Leaving the house, watching movies, talking or texting on the phone, everything caused intense anxiety and paranoia. Except for Scooby Doo. Scooby Doo, Where Are You? was literally the only thing I could watch without having a panic attack, and I happily watched all 3 seasons in about a week or so. I'm a lot better now, and have been for some months. But I'll never forget that Scooby was the biggest comfort (aside from my friends and family who visited me) during those times. Thank you for making this video, and I'm glad to see you making content like this. From a life long Scooby lover to another, you're the best.
It is always weird when it comes to creative fulfillment. Sometimes you just want to work on something that just isn't in your scope at the time. I keep getting ideas that would work amazing for a show, but I'm an author at best. I do not have a full animation studio to produce a show that I want. I just always try and make something that is mine.
I started to watch just for the known bits of the comicverse, but You're such a sincere, honest and passionate creator, that I will definitely stay on this channel and watch every time You will post a new video.
All the best for You and Emily and rest of Your gang!
This video meant a lot to me. I’ve been struggling lately and feeling stuck in a loop, and I’ve been finding comfort in really formulaic videos and shows (obviously this one is an exception 😂).
Your timing always feels perfect for whatever I’m going through too. So thank you for continuing to make your videos!
Wishing you the best!
Your videos make me feel so heard scott, the way you described what a comfort movie/show is is exactly right. It's the same reason I watch descendants over an over again for no apparent reason, as well as phineas and ferb. Every video you make is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you. We love you 🥰
Dude your anxiety towards the video is completely valid no matter how it “sounds” I hope you get better man sending tons of love and support !!!!!!
I felt very validated by this video, I've been there with my depression and anxiety and I've never subscribed to someone so fast. I've never wanted to support someone so much thank you so much you're doing great!!
This is amazing and brought me so much joy. I loved this show! You’re a legend! Keep up all the great work!
My number 1 Scooby-Doo channel on CZcams! And a channel I just love anyways. Glad to see ya, hope you are doing well.
I've made hundreds of comic book videos and exactly 5 Scoob videos but yes, I embrace the idea that I'm a Scoob-tuber now hahaha
I was just diagnosed this year with ADHD. I’m 35 and thought I just had anxiety (GAD) since I was 16. For me, the diagnosis is freeing, but I’m still trying to find a medication that works. Thank you for using your voice to make me feel less lost and alone.
You have always been an extremely talented story teller, and you will soon be able to make more elaborate videos again! As a fellow depressed 30-something with lots of anxiety problems as well as ADHD (that wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood), NerdSync works like a comfort show for me. I realise that this post will be completely drowned in your massive comment section, but know that you are really making a difference and we are many who can relate to what you are going through.
Just a few minutes in and I feel the need to say, don’t worry. Your audience, (me included), love your videos and just want to support you. I’ve had the largest panic attack and emotional breakdown a couple days age. Your videos are pieces of comfort. Hope you feel a bit better at some point though.
This video brought a lot of comfort to me. I'm fifteen, I have (undiagnosed) anxiety, OCD and possibly depression.
I often find things like children's media so comforting and it really helps to know I'm not the only one ❤ take care
This is my introduction to you. The first time you have ever crossed my recommended.
I think you’re great. Inspiring. Relatable.
Thanks for this video. I came here because I love Scooby Doo, and found feelings.
Oh my god Scott, for literally the last year I’ve been noticing and being like “Scott sounds very adhd as well” and literally JUST saw a video the other day about the creators and people we idolize being the people most similar to us, most of my friends are adhd as well by that same osmosis. I’m excited and scared as well for a lot of new art and life changes and job and comic stuff I’m working on, but we always got this. Even when we don’t.
Shout-out to Neurodiversity! It's about learning what works for you sometimes, learning that you are better at some things and worse at others, & most of all learning that it's ok and that it is just another thing that makes you the person you are.
Aww wouldn’t have guessed it was a standing desk but I heard those really help. But you’ve gone through enough and have been so brave to be working hard and that’s so awesome that you’ve got back to work! And I wonder if maybe you can’t work on the iron man maybe being a lot of stressful things going on in the show as well as your life But I really get this for you do whatever saves you makes you happy and mentally healthy ^-^
It's a great desk! No joke, I was looking at ordering one from them before they contacted me, Spooky timing! And yeah, I've got a lot going on, but hearing messages of support from people like you helps a lot. Thank you!
@@NerdSyncProductions Of course! Great people like you going through a lot deserve the most support from everyone around them ^-^
As someone who also struggles with anxiety, depression and various other issues, I love having a creator that admits to not struggling with things, it really grounds the channel and reminds everyone that creators are people first. ❤️😊
that green light on your side will always make me smile. your channel is pretty much my own comfort media, even though its not always the happiest videos, you inspire me to be creative and make me happy.
Hey Scott, I just wanted to say tha k you for being you. Your videos have always been a major comfort to me.
I hope you're taking care of yourself man, seriously.
love pup named scooby. my personal fave of the scooby content
me too!
Good luck with everything going forward and congratulations on learning something new about yourself (As someone with Aspergers I relate to the feeling of suddenly having a bunch of stuff snap into place after learning more about how my brain works). Therapy is important and you are the best thing in your life you can invest in. I hope things start looking up for you and keep getting better.
p.s. I know it's a joke, but your brain is not broken. Just unique. Sometimes it feels like a good thing, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always 100% yours to explore.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is awesome. Nuff said. I'm excited for your next videos, whatever they are.
I was so excited to watch this the moment it popped up for me, and I'm so glad I did. I totally understand the pull of a comfort show (I went through a Simpsons phase last year, given the world & the fact the show was on Disney+), and I've enjoyed learning about what other people consider their comfort shows (Kiki does seem to get a lot of support on that front). I never watched A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (okay, might've played a few times when I was working at a video store), but I am so glad it brings you joy and I'm honestly considering giving it a whirl after your fantastic endorsement. I can't explain why, but 13 Ghosts still has a special place in my heart, I think it might have to do with Vincent Price and having it on VHS (taped off TV, like my childhood copies of Star Wars), though I've only revisited that through CZcams, and don't get around to watching Scooby stuff nearly as much as I'd like.
More importantly: I've long loved watching your work, Scott, because of the passion you put into it - it's obvious in your enthusiastic delivery and just how dedicated you are, and the way you've displayed that passion through creative exploration (like your narratives, props, and so much more). While I've appreciated that aspect, I am so happy to watch (sometimes just listen) to whatever you produce however you present it, as long as that passion remains. If that means more Scooby vids, fantastic. If that means more about comics or D&D or other influential people you admire or wish to emulate more, I'll be happy to watch that, too.
Thank you for the wonderful videos you've provided, and for the joy and knowledge it has brought to my life, among so many others.
P.S.: ...wait, is that Charl? Oh, yeah. That's an ideal desk indeed.
This video really helped… even though it’s about scooby doo lol. The last two months was a shitshow and this really helped me feel not alone, so thanks scott
Also, chef IS a comfort movie
Scott, I love your videos and the Scooby Doo deep-dives (rlly fun to say btw) especially. I love creators who are willing to open conversations about complicated topics, even (sometimes especially) under a thick veneer of silliness and absurdity. I hope you continue to find new ways to be honest with your audience, whether it's about what you love, what you think, or what you feel. If you're still worried that your mental health annoys people, I think you're focusing on the wrong part of your audience. Not to speak for strangers, but I'm confident that most of us want you to succeed, not for our own benefit, but for yours. You make people happy. We want the same for you.
I was so exited for this video to come out, but then I had a bit of a mental break down. I clicked on the video after I called down a bit, but almost clicked off because if felt a bit too real. I paused it instead and when to eat and talk to my mom about my anxiety. I felt a lot better after talking to her. I came back to the video where you talked about your anxiety and depression, the way you put it towards the end made it feel a bit more comforting or manageable I don't know, but it made me feel better. I know it was a coincident, but thank you I appreciate it.
Me and my dad got the DVD for Scooby Doo to and I’ve consistently watched it at least once a week
amazing!
You've become my new favorite content creator of 2021, sorry about the Iron Man video and your recent struggles. I never really comment, or leave likes, or even venture to Patreon, but for you, I'll make that exception. I do hope you can beat your Demon in a Bottle someday, but if it's too much, so be it. Take care of yourself
I actually had to pause the video for like a minute just to laugh at Van Ghoul’s “20 nightmares” joke. God, I probably need sleep.
It’s Mercury Retrograde!!! This month has been hard on all of us! Especially people battling anxiety and depression. Take your time. Find your peace. We can wait for the Iron Man video but please don’t give up on the video. Your other videos in that series so far has been amazing!! Also , A Pup named Scooby-Doo is my absolute favorite version of Scooby-Doo too and I love how you highlighted that a lot of A Scooby- Doo canon came from this show. A lot of fans tend to ignore these facts when discussing which version is the most definitive. Good job on this video. Take care of yourself. If it helps, your videos give me joy and I look forward to them whenever you upload. You’re one of my favorite CZcamsrs, if not the most favorite! Keep following your passion!!!
Scott, I empathize with what you’re going through. Anxiety and depression are no joke. I’ve been in similar situations, and things looked bleak for a while, but so long as you have a good support structure, things will work out however they’re supposed to.
As far as your videos are concerned, do what you can with what you have. Your fans/CZcams community will love and support you for being you and putting out content that is interesting to you. Your passion shines through in all your work.
Never forget to take time for yourself, as your health is far more important than making content for us.
Keep up the great work!
All of the Scobby Doo series has been a go-to when I am down. I also suffer from major anxiety issues. They almost always are started by 'stupid', minor issues. That does not mean they are easy to deal with or any easier to deal with than more 'serious' issues.
When I get depressed and anxious I like to watch videos I’ve seen before on CZcams, yours are always high on that list
I was thinking about this today. Somebody told me spilling random thoughts in my journals is very therapeutic, but I don't write something unless I feel like it's worth writing. Like you with talking.
I feel stuck working on my own projects a lot of the time. Depression and panic attacks are stressful. I'm glad you're feeling joy. I'll be praying for you.
Hey man, you were important to my childhood
(I hope this doesn't make you feel worse lmaooo)
oh no i'm old!
@@NerdSyncProductions I like it when Daphne got her new boots dirty.
Me watching Rocket Man 8 times over the last 2 weeks because I too am incredibly depressed. So like. This is really comforting?
we're in this together, Kelsey! haha
Nothing to be ashamed of. A PUP NAMED SCOOBY-DOO is one of my FAVORITE renditions of the characters. The rubbery, Tex Avery-style take gags, the silliness of the monsters and the music were pure fun.
But overall, just take care of yourself mentally. Good to hear you're doing therapy. It's done WONDERS for me.
This really nailed why I like Scooby Doo. Anytime I'm struggling I watch it and I can recite some episodes word for word. I know where all the best parts are and even if I get up and leave I can come back and know exactly what is happening. I don't need a lot of energy to follow the story and that is really important.
This show is my all time favorite Scooby variant, and MAN have I been waiting for this!
It is truly the best!
It's always been my fav too! I didn't watch it quite as much as the original as it wasn't on tv as often. But of all the serieses it's the opening for this one that has lodged its self forever in my mind as the, it is time to get excited song
I loved this show as a kid! I think I used to watch the re-runs on Boomerang, it was my favorite home sick cartoon. The artstyle and scooby were all so cute and fun! I think I even used to try and do the little dances they did back in kindergarten.
"In my entire life... Several, in fact"
Scott confirms he has lived several lives....
I just... have no words for how much I love this channel and everything that Scott does. There is so much I'd love to rant on about here. How I relate to everything you're going through on a spiritual level. How I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 1st grade but it's never really been something I've given much thought to since I've *always had it,* but is probably the root cause of a lot of my problems. I just appreciate Scott's openness and his incredibly genuine vibe.
It's rare that I don't end up feeling SOMETHING every time I watch a NerdSync video. Whether it's laughing/smiling so much my cheeks hurt, or the fact that I tear up every time he talks about mental illness. This is one of the best channels on CZcams. Long live Scott, long live NerdSync!
I remember always watching this every morning before school or when I stayed home sick. I was an older elementary school but I remember always thinking "why am I watching this baby show?" But then I would end up sometimes watching it for hours on end and would go on to continue it for years. Lots of fun nastolgic memories.
Glad you're talking about mental health issues! It's very validating for my own experiences of mental hardships. Thank goodness for therapy!
Glad I'm not the only one who had sick day memories with this show! Thanks for watching, Anthony!
My go-to binge list:
Movie: Shawshank Redemption
Cartoons: Justice League / JLU series
Anime: Hajime no Ippo
Also, I've been rewatching your videos during the pandemic, and I've watched the Endgame Thor video probably the most, whenever anxiety hits me like a m*f*er truck before sleeping. So, thank you Scott for getting me through the times.
Hmmm, I sent Scott the dvds of the Iron Man cartoon, hoping to help him to continue his series. I did not want to give him anxiety attacks! Hope you're getting through it ok Scott!
Omg that could feel horrible. Don't put that on your shoulders though dude.
Tbh, i'm not that one subscriber that watches your videos right when you upload them, but i'm that one subscriber that watches your videos when i feel alone and i need a friend to have a really good and interesting convo with. You're my comfort CZcamsr and i really appreciate what you do bc you've created a safe place for all anxious nerds like me, so thank you so much, Scott.
Scott I’m glad that you decided to make another video I’m just glad that you are back it doesn’t really matter about audio or lighting or anything just so long as we can hear and see you it’s good for me
It is so strange that I love a Pup Named Scooby Doo in that same "soul food" kind of way. I mean, there are other shows I love more, but it's one of those shows like the Simpsons that I can just watch over and over again and not really care. Just almost veg out too. It was one of my earliest shows to feel that way as well, because I remember watching that show and two stupid dogs and just be contempt with watching it even if I knew it was a "rerun" or super old or anything else. It's something that I could turn to and just feel at balanced with. Now there are a few more shows that I think I might add to that... Gargoyles... as long as it's not the goliath chronicles, and maybe Parks and Recreation. I think Young Justice and Wolverine and the X-Men come close to me liking the shows in that way... but they just aren't quiet there. Space Ghost Coast to Coast is also really close to that place of "soul food", but not quite there (Or rather, you know, sometimes you just have that feeling of "nah, don't feel like watching this").
19:35 Oh man, after all the Scott Pilgrim love and the Pup Named Scooby Doo love, I finally see a difference... but I totally feel like I get it! It's probably wrong or only partial of the picture, but I FEEL like I get it so don't take that away from me! 😭 Lol It feels like uncertainty is a part of your trigger and something the comfort food needs to sooth. I totally get that, probably like everyone else in the world, but it's not an issue that bothers me as much, at least not on the front end.
My Comfort food has got to be sacarin, it's got to be sweet, because I know it's essentially a safe place I can use to hide, cool down, and prep myself for before returning back into this outside world. It's why I say Only those early seasons of Gargoyles work for me. Not because they are perfect, but because I don't have mass negative emotions tied to those seasons, and it's similar for episodes. Like for example I Love, Love, LOVE One Piece. It's one of my favorite things, I essentially grew up with it, it's an experience that I can't really relate to anything else.
One thing I love to do about it is watch people's reactions who've never actually followed the series, and going back to rewatch old episodes, going back to reread old parts and chapters... but I can't just blindly watch every episode. Some things I have to be in "the right mood" for otherwise it spirals me into that deep dark place of depression, or sends me into a high anxiety state that drives you into feels of physical pain. Just emotional states that I know my mind and body can't handle at that moment. So there are some stuff that I enjoy like that, that I essentially feel like I need to run from, to keep myself stable.
It's not the same thing as irrational triggers, although could be related, as I've become older I've noticed that sometimes I can feel nostalgic even for the crazy, making you want to taste the fire, even for a second, but I would still say it's not the same thing, because it is stuff that I can genuinely enjoy, even in that moment. (Or maybe it can be some kind of weird PTSD, because I was going to explain like "Not being in the mood to watch a Thriller or a Horror movie because you already feel on edge", but I think the most relatable thing I can say is the conundrum of wanting to support black media, wanting to support black actors, and not wanting people to just ignore topics like racism or how bad slavery actually was, you know, cut through the propaganda... but at the same time, don't want to watch another "Slave movie" or "Civil Rights film" as a black person. It doesn't feel like that same kind of PTSD, but the sensation feels very similar. Maybe what I like about those parts that I can't always consume is that nostalgia for the crazy, for the emotional intensity, for the sense of broken... Point is, I just can't blindly take it even if I know it is coming)
The Scooby-Doo Show has always been my comfort media.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was one of my favorite shows to watch on boomerang during breaks from school since they would always show it in the middle of the day when I would normally have class. What a fun walk down memory lane so thanks for reminding me of the show! And thanks for being so open about your mental health with everyone - I know it’s not an easy thing to do but it goes a long way with reducing the stigma around mental health and going to therapy. Wishing you nothing but the best as you begin that journey!
honestly, I was always more of a fan for the "nerd makes quick vids at home" style of videos. I still watched the longer ones, because content is nice, but the "weird trivia facts" are a favorite of mine.
Welcome to the ADHD squad. Keep an eye out for autism, it tends to be hanging around out of sight, waiting to pounce.
Joking aside, autism is wildly misunderstood by ADHD online personalities and content creators (as in people who make content about ADHD, not people who have ADHD and also make content) but is co-morbid with ADHD between 30% and 66% of time. It's actually more common in adult diagnosed people because the symptoms of one often compensate or mask the other. I was diagnosed with autism first and then ADHD 5 years later and it was so hard trying to get a handle on one without understanding the other.
Thank you for making something worth binge watching. I don’t watch any other CZcams videos more than 10 minutes due to my ADD (ADHD’s less fun cousin), but you are engaging, honest and fun, which keeps my brain intrigued. Our brains aren’t flawed, but we do need to be honest with ourselves and find the tools to keep us from being overwhelmed
On a technical note, your setup, video and audio quality were great. I have been feeling lately that the staged sets CZcamsrs use are a bit overused. The simpler, real life set works for me.
dude you made me cry at two am, jeeze! I didn't expect this vid to be quite so hopeful and heavy at the same time. A Pup Named Scooby Doo was defiantly my fav scoob show as a kiddo too. Hope you're doing ok
this is the second video I have seen by you, but halfway through this one i subscribed after I heard you talk about anxiety and comfort shows and your own struggles with your channel. this spoke so deeply and made me happy knowing I am not the only one. i mean, realistically I know many other people have anxiety but having it verbalized and even the way you discuss topics makes me feel not alone as well as making me feel like I too could persue a dream of making a youtube account! thank you so much your channel is really great :)
PLEASE GOD WATCH CHEF. IT IS SUCH A HEARTWARMING GEM.
Yeah, Chef is fantastic. I didn’t think I would like it when my wife rented it years ago, but I loved it. Any time it’s on TV, I watch it.
Hey, haven’t finished the video yet. But you just said something about being annoying about talking about your mental health. I just want to say that I find you talking about your mental health genuinely helpful to me. Like it makes me feel less alone to hear about you dealing with the same stuff. You are allowed to also not talk about your mental health of course. I also enjoy your nerd content when it’s less personal. But never feel bad about talking about what you want to, even if you want to talk about yourself for a bit.
Thank you. I've been depressed for quite a while and, I didn't know why I kept wanting to rewatch movies/ TV shows but hearing you say it and explain it helped everything make sense comfort is comforting and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's good to see you back, Scott. I join you in living the questions of fulfillment, limitations and the creativity that can come from constriction. I was so inspired by the ideas you shared in the collage video, I emailed you an offer to share with you a collage method that I teach. That offer remains open 😊
"I was unintentionally making videos back to back about how limitations can be creatively freeing...and now look where I am"
--You Chekhov's gun'ed yourself
As someone who was diagnosed with ADD from a young age, your comment of living life on hard mode really hit home. I think it's a shame that there are people who don't realize their brain works differently from other people, not because they can't see the difficulties they have, but more because they don't have any other reference point.
I am so glad you're getting help, and you have a comfort activity to help you through the hard times.
They need to make a Scooby Multiverse where a character (s) from each show get together and save the universe.
As a person who makes the occasional comic with a friend of mine... it doesn't sound silly at all. I get that anxiety. Its how I used to feel in high school with certain projects but goes a lot deeper. Nothing to be ashamed of. You needed this.
