VIDEO: Top 100 Things Not to Say During a Job Interview
Let me start this off by saying, this is my favorite video I’ve ever made, replacing Top 100 Things Not to Say to a Cop. Coincidentally, it was also the video that took the longest to edit. Probably because I decided to alter my outro…in addition to shooting a lot of coverage.
As far as logistics, I shot this video at Purple Rock Scissors, a digital agency that a couple of my friends work at, using some friends from my acting class. It did feel a little weird saying some of these lines, however, if you knew some of the things that went on during our acting class, this was nothing in comparison.
If I learned anything through this experience, it’s that filmmaking is truly about relationships and connections. This video alone is a testament to that. Having a solid location and actors does wonders for a video.
Let me know which number you thought was the funniest! And what Top 100 video should I make next?
UPDATE: This video was featured on RightThisMinute, head over to the press page to watch it!

Scooter you uploaded !!!! I can sleep well tonight! Upload more. God Bless
I did! Planning too upload a lot more too! Sleep well Jonathan
Hey man great video your one of the best youtubers ever man love your videos I was just wondering who you thought was gonna win the Super Bowl who you would be cheering for and if you planned to make a video about the Super Bowl?
Thanks man! I really appreciate it! As far as the Super Bowl…I’m hoping the Seahawks can pull it off…mainly because of my dislike for Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck.
Might be planning some Stuff Fans Say for the Super Bowl 🙂 who knows
Cmon man why u hate Brady and Belichick haha and that would be cool I would love to see what you could come up with
They are CHEATERS!!! And I don’t know Brady has always just seemed soft to me…still might have to do a Stuff Patriots Fans Say though
Man cmon everyone probably changes the footballs and but Brady is still a legend where would he rank on your greatest quarterbacks? And can u that would be cool?
“Everyone probably changes the footballs” -____-
Brady is good, also a reason for my dislike. I don’t know about a list of the Top QB’s though…if I do something sports related it has to have broad appeal. We’ll see though!
You are literally my favorite youtuber ever. It annoys my friends but you won’t find one day that I don’t say “I’M A GROWN MAN.” or “DA HECK.” or “No jugamos juegos.”
But yeah, you really bring light and humor to the darker days in life, so thank you!
Hey James! I’m glad you enjoy my videos 🙂 Definitely continue to let your friends know that YOU ARE A GROWN MAN!
The alley has been thrown.
It wouldn’t let me click reply anymore haha so I put it down here but yeah Brady especially if he gets this ring could wind up as the best ever with 4 rings and 6 times going and ok cool well I hope to see a stuff Patriots fans say or something about the Super Bowl soon man keep up the great work love your videos
Truee…alright man appreciate the support!
hey man love your videos, they always make me laugh! you inspire me, i want to start making youtube videos and im glad i found someone who has clean cut comedy.
thanks for the inspiration man! stay up.
Hey Andre! Appreciate the support 🙂 You should definitely start making videos! Just know it takes some time to get to where you want to be. It took me a long time before I was happy with the content I was putting out. But you can get there!
Hey Scooter, this is definitely one of your best videos and entertaining as always!! I recently started my own youtube channel with some of my friends and we made our first video. It is supposed to be a comedic voice over. Do you think you could give me some feedback and/or tell me what you think?
It’s good man…you just gotta be careful with the copyright issues when using other people’s footage. That’s why you don’t see that much sports stuff on YouTube :/ Maybe ask people to leave a comment about what you should do next?
Yeah, I am still investigating the logistics, so not sure about all of the laws. Me and my friends have a bunch of ideas for future content, but we do not know exactly what is and isn’t allowed. Thanks for the advice and we are definitely trying to fill the void of more sports related content in youtube.
Hey man well the Patriots and Brady did it what you think?
Can’t believe the last call…I have no words
Yeah man that interception was crazy bro plus by Butler and undrafted rookie
Hey Scooter!
This morning was the first time I saw your videos and I was lucky enough to see the Friend Zone one first which led me to the Top 100 Things to never say in a job interview. I almost choked laughing so hard at these two responses:
68) My last boss said I was good at alienating people.
71) I can speak fluent Dothraki.
Truly hilarious – thanks for adding laughter to my day. I’m curious, what are your long term career goals? Do you want your videos to lead you somewhere specific like a latenight talk show? SNL? I make youtube vids too (400 views haha) and my dream is to be on SNL one day so I was just curious to see what motivates you to make your videos.
