The Wooden Play Button is a fake award created by Draco that hangs in the Gatorbox set. It was carved from a piece of discarded fence in 2016 to recognize the channel surpassing 1,000 subscribers on YouTube. Creators on the platform receive a silver Play Button award for reaching 100,000 subscribers so Draco thought that making a joke one for 1,000 would make for an amusing sketch. The prop was intended to come inside of a replica shadowbox like the Play Button awards of the era, though this was never fabricated at the award just sits out on its own.

Initially Draco had plans to do a proper unveiling/unboxing of the prop as if it were a real gift from YouTube complete with a passively insulting congratulation letter but these plans never came to fruition. The wooden Play Button instead just showed up on the set one day with Draco sometimes pointing it out in passing.
