That look of surprise when he immediately gets the little fish in the net, while saying how difficult it is...priceless. "Oh! ... Crikey! Heheheh." Gosh darn it, Tim. We love you, man.
I think it's just an exclamatory colloquialism, kind of like "yikes", "whoa" and the rare but lovely "zounds!" I'm not sure what the individual etymologies are, as Webster et al. don't officially list definitions for them. Interesting question. They seem to occupy a similar role as swear words but, well, without the swearing. :)
I've heard that "zounds" was short for "God's wounds", IE the wounds Jesus sustained on the cross, and it was shortened because taking the Lord's name in vain was taken a lot more seriously when the word came around. The rest, I have no idea.
they kind of are sophisticated though... like, at what point to a neanderthal does it occur that 6-8 tiny balls, locked on a circular track, surrounded by a weird little Y shape would create a rather pleasant gyroscopic feeling when spun?
During Tim's very fruitful life, He's seen many trends arise, then die. While we're all flustered, in a dither By the simple mechanics of a fidget spinner, Tim laughs, shakes his head and mutters 'normies...' under his breath.
Birdy's comment was a fun way of showing his disdain for the fidget spinner, an item most intellectual frontiersmen roll their eyes at because of it's embrace by a hoard of trendy douchebags. Then we have Bladsmith, oh Bladsmith. Your comments are just nippy little bitch fits, aren't they? "Technically, heh-heh-heh, don't you mean _"fundamentally"_ or another better suited adverb?" *_AND THEN_* Bladsmith goes on to make a mockery of those suffering an irregular mental constitution. "Look at the Downs syndrome child, that's you, Birdy, fucking pathetic just like that child.". Is that the characterisation you meant to portray, Bladsmith? It's bad optics and exactly what the public, who I speak in behalf of, are thinking.
He could of easily put fidget spinners in the title but he didn't because unlike most channels Tim is interested in entertainment over views. Well done sir
He probably isn't even aware of how popular they are. He doesn't use the internet very much and I think I heard that the channel is mostly managed by someone else.
If someone deserve to do a video about fidget spinners, is Tim. I mean, like they say in another comments, it is a toy, so it really fits within the reaches of this channel.
Since there's apparently a lot of controversy regarding the popularity of fidget spinners, I'd just like to say that I find it remarkable that kids are currently fascinated with a little piece of plastic that moves around with no electronics whatsoever, instead of having their eyes on a screen and Pokemon Go. As a kid from the 80's, the spinner and these other little gizmos are a lot more relatable and it's neat to see people playing with them on the street here in NYC. I do enjoy the occasional video game too, but I'm just glad people haven't forgotten the joy of simple toys, because that's what it is. It's kinda cute, and I'll take all the cuteness I can get in this topsy-turvy world. Much bigger things out there to complain about right now!
Evan Snyder I had the very same thought the other day. It does make them a lot more appealing when you look at it that way. I can't criticize them too much. A co-worker gave me one as a gift and it is a pleasing enough thing to fiddle with. I wouldn't have bought one for myself but it was a nice gift and an effective desk toy.
What's with the lately Fidget Spinner hate? It's the new hip to hate on popular things? Geez guys, relax. They are toys, and people are having fun with them. It evolved from a simple fidget to a "skill toy", but again, what's so bad about that? Sometimes I wonder if spinning tops were invented nowadays people would hate them too. Remember the 90's yo-yo crazy? Nostalgia aside, what's the difference from kids playing with spinners nowadays?
Because he had a thing the internet decided is bad in the video for about a minute, and everyone has to make sure everyone else knows they hate it, so that they can be cool.
it might be its connection to autism. The toy was originally used to calm down autistic people. Autism has taken on a kind of dark joke meme focus recently. Also the clickbait videos of people doing tricks with them. I like the toys myself though
It's mega popular, which means people will hate it. Pokemon Go, the ice bucket challenge, fidget spinners; if it's super popular, there will always be a subset of people who think they're edgy by proclaiming they don't do what everybody else is doing
Not really. This is very much a subject for Tim to report on. It's strange he hasn't done so sooner. Also, the title doesn't even say 'spinner' and fidget has been a word for ages.
not really clickbait since tim doesnt use arrows pointing to something, caps lock, clickbaity images, etc on the thumbnail Plus, he genuinely talks about what's shown on the thumbnail and doesn't even use "fidget spinners" in the title
That look of surprise when he immediately gets the little fish in the net, while saying how difficult it is...priceless.
"Oh! ... Crikey! Heheheh."
Gosh darn it, Tim. We love you, man.
I kinda get what "crikey" means, or what is used for, given the context.. but what exactly means?
I think it's just an exclamatory colloquialism, kind of like "yikes", "whoa" and the rare but lovely "zounds!" I'm not sure what the individual etymologies are, as Webster et al. don't officially list definitions for them. Interesting question.

In the same way that "Gosh!" is a way of saying "Oh God!" without being blasphemous, "Crikey!" is a way of saying "Jesus Fucking Christ!".
@@benedictnothing
I saw somewhere that crikey was short for "Christ kill me" while Blimey was "Lord blind me"
Tim is probably the best person in the world.
Pastel Pigicorn Truer words have never been typed.
Of all the people I subscribe to, Tim is the Only one I'd like to meet and chill with in real life.

So hypnotizing. When the video was over, I looked down and realized I was holding a cup of hummus and had spilled it all over my shirt.
Tim has greatly improved the reputation of "finger fidgets"
Tim, you are simply the coolest dude on UA-cam.
I think this is the first video with a fidget spinner that I liked.
This man is too pure for this world...
Tim start to go in flow with the trends of fidget spinners
This guy is so calm and his vids have good quality keep up the great work 👍🏽
Lol with that bronze ring "it can roll anywhere you can fit it" hehe;)
We need to get this guy an actual finger fiddle
Tim only used 0.000000001% oh his power on that fidget
Tim playing with fidget toys before it was cool
Wow Tim that gold one is so cool 😎
That is a talented man! I don't think I know anyone who can talk like that.
Has Tim covered fidget cubes? I find the ones with multiple side "games" to be my fav, but sometimes I like a simple on/off switch
So odd. You always wonder how long until the end, but when you get there, you're upset
Tim could you please explain how to hell you do the thing “water from de nile”
omg...omg...omggg... Tim did it
Aaaah Tim.
Where can I find the second to last one he reviewed at?
my fidget toys are Begleri and Balisong
tim is the only person who can have a fidget spinner
Glorious Beaver yes, because he's the only one with toy videos that catch the interest of people of all ages and still keeps them alive
Glorious Beaver deserve , deserve a fidget spinner
Hello there
agreed
And Ashens.
Tim is the only man on youtube who can make fidget spinners seem sophisticated.
they kind of are sophisticated though... like, at what point to a neanderthal does it occur that 6-8 tiny balls, locked on a circular track, surrounded by a weird little Y shape would create a rather pleasant gyroscopic feeling when spun?
The song is called darude sandstorm 😶
Our Customs what if I dressed up s fidget spinner in cloths and recorded it, can I do it aswell?
No no, he’s got a point
“3 years ago”...
He's like the Bob Ross of toys
Agreed
thats it! he said what we're all thinking!
yes.
Yes! Great comparison!
*Yes in deed!!!!!!!!!!*
The first part of this video is probably one of the most genuine reviews of a fidget spinner i have ever heard
Dragonskater575 I know it's so sweet

I like the way you spent your time,
putting your comments in to rhyme.

These aren't perfect rhymes and it's bothering me.
Weird Side yo I've been watching tim for a while now nd seeing you guys with the interview that was awesome dude keep it up
You guys seriously deserve more views for all the work you put out. I love you guy's content and I can't wait to see more

To be fair it's technically a toy and the man has a show about toys.
Technically? They're toys in every possible respect.
Well, I don't think a normal toy would make me want to kill myself.
Who knows, you're clearly not very mentally sound.

You know, I never saw it that way.

I love how Tim knows the people who created a lot of the toys, how they work and when they are made. He even knows some creators personally.
I love how Tim seems to have a "childish" personality (not in a bad way), it's heart-warming to see
he's adorable. I love his voice and positive outlook. He finds the god in everything
5:34
Honestly, Tim's BEST laugh yet.
.
This really relaxes me for some reason. I like to watch it before bed
I don't think that last one is designed for you finger
"It has a lovely sensation" "Helps the circulation"
That’s what I said
6:08 “Anything that fits into it”
Me: “Oh, I know where it would fit”
*BONK*
it looks like a cat tail
Kaitlyn Smith you look like a cat tail
It’s a toy for sure, but not one that pure, innocent Tim needs to know the nature of.
figdets for your digits
I have never been filled with more joy, than when Tim caught that fish
Fidget cubes are better than spinners.

why do people hate fidget spinner? I don't have one but did I miss something? I mean it's just a toy
I'd also like to know.
it might be its connection to autism. The toy was originally used to calm down autistic people. Autism has taken on a kind of dark joke meme focus recently. Also the clickbait videos of people doing tricks with them. I like the toys myself though
PwniX I don't get it! I have one and love it!
PwniX, Flappy Bird effect. Something stupid became popular. People hate that.

IM GETTING ASMR FROM WATCHING THESE VIDEOS 😂
oh thank god i'm not the only one.
Ghost Ahahaa I felt the same to be honest, I get awkward when Ir comes to the ASMR conversation with friends and family lol
love it
I'm fidgeting now.
Funnily enough, Tim was already somewhat known in the ASMR community a few years ago, before the channel got really popular.
Grand illusion video but every time he says 'lovely' it gets faster
Tim is this generation's Bob Ross.
I agree he is good fun

oh god tim not you to
6:13 5:25 anyone else noticed that there is something *_'odd'_* about Tim's index finger?
Going for them clickbait views I see
Well, it's predictable as hell for a trend to expand where you least expect it.

"Finger fidget thing they call it"
I'm so glad you don't know the actual name
