Blue border

In every episode of the Scott The Woz series, a blue border is present around the edges of the video as well as the video thumbnail.

Originally, the border was relatively thick, however, starting 40 seconds into A Very Madden 08 Christmas, a more thin border was introduced. The first episode to have the thin border for the full duration is Players Choice.

The shade of blue used for the border has always been #334BFF, however, until The Art of Speedruns, the end screen was #344CFF- different to the color of the border.

The blue border is the main subject matter and antagonist of Borderline Forever.

In Borderline Forever
Whilst ranting about stupid Nintendo games, Scott becomes aware of the blue border surrounding his vision. It disturbs him so much that he goes to therapy to talk about it with Jerry Attricks, where he describes it as "feeling like [he's] going crazy", and stating that he can't sleep and he "[hasn't] eaten in days". However, Attricks refuses to believe that the border exists, prompting Scott to try an experiment.

During the experiment, Scott realizes that all of his memories are surrounded by the border. However, he can't bring himself to fight it off, saying he "could never compete with a shape". As Scott decides to just ignore it and go talk about Brink, the border gets bigger, closing in on Scott and filling the screen.

The blue border is the subject of the song Closing In, wherein Scott describes it as a "giant watermark" and wonders how he never noticed it until now.

The border begins affecting others when Scott tells Jeb Jab, Terry Lesler, Rex Mohs and Target Employee about it in the hospital. He hypothesizes that the border gets bigger when he gives in to his "primal urges", which he demonstrates by screaming at an NES cartridge. Whilst the rest of the group laughs at the idea of a blue square, they quickly come running back after they begin noticing it too. Scott decides the border is an urgent problem and decides to alert the officials, and welcomes the others to "Team F*cked" (stylized as "TEAM FxCKED").

The border begins to affect more people as Team F*cked spreads awareness, though before this happens, the news reports that the police have stated that "blue borders don't exist". Despite this, the border begins affecting Ohio residents, eventually outlining the entire state.

The blue border makes its first appearance as a character later on, as the group infiltrates its lair in space. It lures the group (minus Scott) into a trap by leaving out printer ink, and then surrounds and immobilizes them. As Scott goes to help them, the border pins him to the ground. It complains about Scott acknowledging its existence, before surrounding the entire Earth and its people in a border.

When asked by Scott why the border only affected him before, it tells him it was because Scott was "a waste", as he spent all his time complaining about stupid Nintendo games. It also reveals that it was responsible for Brett Favre attacking the group. However, as the border claims it is all-powerful and "eternal life", Scott realizes its weakness is "virginity" in the form of Madden 08 in Español for PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360. Throwing these games at the border, alongside all of the Wii games in the Hour Of Variety causes it to explode, which also makes the border around the video disappear.

However, throwing those games at the border does not eradicate it. When Scott realizes the border needs a host, he takes it back, prompting the border to reappear on the screen, saying that he knows how to deal with it and that he "would not wish [the border] upon anybody else".

Trivia

 * When Scott Wozniak is talking about Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection in Game Compilations Compilation, he mentions how the border in the game is unremovable. Wozniak then says that if there was a "small blue border" around every game, it would get annoying, referencing the blue border in the Scott The Woz series.
 * The reason Scott threw specifically the Español version at the border may be because in A Very Madden 08 Christmas, Luis Castillo, the cover athlete for the Español version, came to Wozniak after he stole all copies of Madden 18 from Target. This is the first episode to have the border reduce in size.
 * No voice actor is listed for the blue border in Borderline Forever, meaning that Scott likely voiced it himself, since his other roles over the course of the series are not listed in the episode's credits.
 * The only normal Scott the Woz episode to feature something going over the border is Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U - For Here or To Go? Where an image of Samus is layered over the border, this is mostly likely an editing mistake.
 * In Caddicarus's video titled "The Stupid World of Portable Crash Bandicoot Games", uploaded in July 2021, Wozniak makes a cameo appearance when Caddy asks him for the next portable Crash Bandicoot game, threatening to reveal where the blue border is from if he doesn't. Wozniak initially refuses, but eventually relents when Caddy zooms out the video and shows Wozniak filming on Crash's blue pants - thus explaining why a blue border is present in all his videos. This contradicts the events of Borderline Forever so this reveal is considered non-canon.
