UNCENSORED deleted scenes and blooper reels. Similar to the other one, except with more...uh...mature content. As you might expect, this perk contains vulgarity. We ask kindly that you do not re-upload these anywhere :-).

Google Hangout with Team SciShow. Each month, some of the team will gather you all together to chat about weird science, how we make our videos, and anything else you're wondering about! It will be luck of the draw whether you'll chat with hosts, animators, writers, or a funky mix, so be prepared for anything!

At this level, you will merely be able to interact with the Google Hangout via chat. Scroll down to the $100-level to reserve a spot on the video call.
