Might be an unpopular opinion, but MacFadyen's comedic performance is the best on the show. He makes every subtle tick of the character hilarious. Dude's incredible.
Sometimes actors who aren't professional comedians like Matthew here can make a good comedic performance, his comedy felt scripted yet somehow improvised at the same time😂
@@BryanCostner I forget who it was but they said they don't like hiring comedians to do comedy movies or to have funny lines in serious movies. They prefer a regular person's take on it.
@@user-un5gt1qc4z Is he though? I know Shiv thinks she's got him in her pocket. That's why she turned on Kendall; she thinks she'll be telling Tom what to do. You may be able to tell a prince what to do. But you can't tell a king what to do.
Obsessed with the way Tom tries to imitate corporate macho speak but everything he says gets filtered through the evil gay Hummel doll that lives in his brain
I can’t reveal my sources…but it’s GREG 💀 I’m so thankful to whoever named that character Greg and then cast Matthew Macfayden to deliver it so perfectly every time 🤣
They cut out the BEST PART of Tom’s scene after “oh fuck your grandpa”. His tone and delivery of “well I shouldn’t be, Greg” is masterful. Criminal to leave it out!!
Why not? Both they have so much in common😂 dudes, submissive to their wives but absolutely adorable. I recommend to watch The way we live now - to compare.
I was so tired of people being like "I can't believe this is the same guy who played Mr. Darcy" but oh my god I just watched that version of the movie for the first time and everyone is right I can't believe thats the same person.
5:54 _have you ever read mein kampf?_ _couple times I guess_ _couple times? are there easter eggs you didn't get the first time?_ whoever wrote Tom's lines are genius
The scene where he's telling Shiv how he really feels about their marriage arrangement on the beach is one of the most heartfelt and gut-wrenching moments I've ever seen on television.
Whoever came up with the name Wambsgans for the character is a genius. A pathetic, backwoods sounding name, but with undertones of the visceral and glandular.
He never failed or was put into a position that made him break, unlike the siblings. Prison looming was the closest thing to breaking him (or Shiv) and he made it through that.
Every time I see a comment on how bad he'd be at CEO I always think of my head canon that Tom would basically be Michael Scott so I think he'll be fine 😂😂😂
He was all that as long as he depended on her to keep his job and status. Once that was reversed, he stopped pretending to be subservient and king to her, and showed his true colors. Classic narcissist.
@@licmir3663he didn't have to take her shit anymore... considering how toxic Shiv is & how truly fucked up their relationship is, why would he be kind to her when he didn't have to be?
i watch this multiple times a day, every day and it just gets funnier and funnier each time. i only just now caught to asking logan if he "needed to hold his sceptre" when they were in the bathroom stall. LMAOOOOO tom is by far my favorite character of all time. and greg is so incredible and perfect. name a more iconic duo. you can't.
Tom went through the most adversity to get to CEO. Unlike the rest of the siblings. I like to believe that Logan mentored Tom for the last 6 months before he passed. Which is why you noticed how pissed off Shiv was with Tom during the balcony scene. She knew how valuable that time was.
There are actors who have range, and then there's Matthew Macfayden. I watched P&P 2005, and checked him out in this show. Absolute whiplash, I tell you. The range is truly something else if your portrayals are believable, yet someone feels genuinely disturbed about your different roles
Iam suprised when i read that so many people were suprised by MacFaydens comedic timing, because the most memoreable role of his for me is not Mr Darcy, it's Daniel from Death at a Funeral. xD

I love how Tom seems like the reasonable and sweet one when hes with Shiv, but with anyone else hes sounds like an entitled psychopath lol
Shiv and Logan
A sweet, submissive little puppy when someone has a bigger big in the room, but a psycho when he has it.
I was surprised when Shiv said he was "well liked." I guess the ATN employees can be bought off with pizza?
Tom's a killer, and you've got to be a killer
THAT’S ME

I think Kieran culkin is slightly better comedically. But Matthew is the best all around
I don't see how that would a unpopular opinion. I think it's spot on.
The fucker did it. He actually did it.
Him putting the sticker on Greg's forehead killed me
@@29cbbloom Someone who he feels he can control.
Never any doubt after he ate Logan's chicken.
he’s getting cucked for it though 😂

"Evil gay Hummel doll" 😂 Nailed it.
Hahahahaha, so true
LOL 😂😂😂
This is THE funniest and most accurate description of Tom I’ve ever seen
Logan’s “what the fuck” after Tom eats his chicken just gets me every time I don’t know why
He's in such genuine shock at Tom's audacity lol
And a little sad lol
I can never get over the triple take he does when Tom sits down
What the fuck? D:
*His chicken salad like afterwards is also hilarious.😂*
Can’t make a Tomelette without breaking a few Greggs
Thank you Mr. President
@@ADBProductions_ np, Jack
Best quote of the show
“…and if I go to jail - WHICH I WONT!” Is underrated 💀
I can’t reveal my sources…but it’s GREG 💀

“Canada, with the ennui and the healthcare, why’s that cocksuck?” Is also omitted egregiously
One of the best lines of the show. He is superb. 😂
@@soloar2007 I LOVED that line!
"I can't reveal my sources but it's greg"
Buckle up Fucklehead is an all time great line
I like how this is like every scene Tom is in.
I still can not believe that mr Darcy turned into this monster especially when he got into the less exclusive panic room in season two
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why not? Both they have so much in common😂 dudes, submissive to their wives but absolutely adorable. I recommend to watch The way we live now - to compare.
It was always him. Tom has always been the main character of this show.
I was so tired of people being like "I can't believe this is the same guy who played Mr. Darcy" but oh my god I just watched that version of the movie for the first time and everyone is right I can't believe thats the same person.
"your own Greg? You can have TWENTY"
The gregging is unfathomable
He has the potential to be a legend in comedy. He plays each emotion very well
5:54 _have you ever read mein kampf?_
_couple times I guess_
_couple times? are there easter eggs you didn't get the first time?_
whoever wrote Tom's lines are genius
"The Best of Tom" would literally just be every scene Tom was ever in.
“What the fuck?”
“ *Thank you for the chicken.* 😎”
"Okay the Hitler dog things bullshit....different spelling" 😂
The scene where he's telling Shiv how he really feels about their marriage arrangement on the beach is one of the most heartfelt and gut-wrenching moments I've ever seen on television.
"Yeah, Just checking the till here Mark and it seems you're short a few million" is an all time line! 6:21
“A couple times… were there Easter eggs you missed on the first read?” 😂😂
"I can't reveal my sources **Thumbs up to Greg*** but it's Greg"
Tom is so funny I could watch this all day
Well then u win
“I am carrying a case on my wedding eve.” Gets me every time 😅
"WE HERE FOR YOU" on the monitor had me dying.
wambsgang RISE UP
conheads + wambsgang = unstoppable
The wine scene is my PETTIEST scene I have EVER seen and it is my FAVORITE!
😂😂
Logan's " What the fuck?" Kills me everytime 🤣 😂 😭
Mathew Macfadyen plays villains very well. Lol
Tom was a hero.
"I prefer to always think about it" has got to be my fav line from him
Im carrying a case on my wedding EEEve!
Tom is the goat
Tom is the best character. Played brilliantly by Matthew. I just snort laughed throughout the whole thing😂
I cant reveal my sources, uh, but its greg
Tom and Greg have some of the funniests lines, Greg asking him if "he ate it" is one of the funniests moments of the series
1:10 i never realized how british he sounded saying "thank you for the chicken" 😭
The Disgusting Brothers
The "Moooooom!!!" After telling his assistant he can smell hospitality bullshit lol
Tom = Best Character
1:24 “Are you ok, did you get it caught?”😂😂😂
Whoever came up with the name Wambsgans for the character is a genius. A pathetic, backwoods sounding name, but with undertones of the visceral and glandular.
Tommy Wommy
looking back. the big job was always made for him.
He never failed or was put into a position that made him break, unlike the siblings. Prison looming was the closest thing to breaking him (or Shiv) and he made it through that.
TOM SHOWS HIMSELF AS A SENSTIVE PERSON BUT DEEPLY HE TAKES ADVATAGE INCH BY INCH
The actor reminds me so much of Brendon Fraser each and every time he’s on screen
He should win any available award, especially for this season.
I can see why Shiv likes him
she does?
@@snowblind8572 she def does.
But she never saw this side of him throughout the show she only saw him when he’s being humiliated
Millennials: Shut up Meg
Gen Z: Shut up Greg
“Thank you for the chicken”
CSI: Miami music starts playin
Best character on the show honestly
Once I knew Will Ferrell had been involved in Succession- Tom became a different character to me and so much of his acting reminded me of Ferrell 😂
Except you know...not dog shit like Ferrell
As soon as I heard that deck shoes joke, I KNEW Will Ferrell had a writing credit
And his conversation with the closet neo-nazi???💀💀💀💀
I think you mean Adam McKay?
@@Barbar-barbaro “so nazis are bad right?”
“Yeah they’re the like, the worst”
He’s such a smug weirdo. It’s great.
Matthew McFayden is so good here to the point I still can’t believe he’s actually English.
The snowball scene in the club had me in stitches
2:19 Greg’s face 😂😂 he’s petrified of this psychopath
We tested this, Greg! HOT DAMN!
Just checking the till here and seems you're short a few million
i went from hating tom the most to cheering for him to win
Tom would have been PERFECT in The Office
Every time I see a comment on how bad he'd be at CEO I always think of my head canon that Tom would basically be Michael Scott so I think he'll be fine 😂😂😂
Man I already miss these characters so much...
3:33 is so powerful and true asf and that’s why he ended up winning in the end
With an amazing cast he is still the greatest performer
The thumbnail is everything
You might wanna put down that taco. You’re getting your melancholy everywhere 🙂
Man, Shiv doesnt know what she has. Tom is so sweet to her, super protective, super intelligent, seemingly (mostly) competent, and funny as hell 😂
did you even watch season 3 like

As I watch this again, the more I see Mark and Jez in Tom and Greg. Its basically grown up Peep Show.
I’m bummed we didn’t get a Mark Corrigan cameo somewhere
“I can’t reveal my sources but it’s Greg”
Tom and Greg’s little scene about ratfucker Sam is so damn funny lol
Tom wambsgans taking over the TVA now bye 😭
8:52 absolutely killed me the first time I watched it
Mr. Darcy everyone

What a great 11 minutes! Pure gold
‘Put it back. Put my fucking wine back!’
"you're short a few millions" X/
omg can’t believe you didn’t include tom during the hearing and covering after greg
I had no idea this was darcy until 5 seconds ago!!!!
2 missed out on:
1. The "Greg, are you blackmailing me?" scene, and
2. Greg selling his soul to Tom (though maybe more of a Greg moment).
Nice comp
The moments with nate were so satisfying
10:30 is so funny, but also so real.
“I can’t reveal my sources…but, it’s Greg.” 😂😂😂😂 and the “thank you for the chicken.” Deserves gold friggin stars.
TOM FANS STAY WINNING WE OUT HERE BABY
I know this will never happen and it's probably for the best but i would love a new show about Tom and Greg in their new positions.
Iam suprised when i read that so many people were suprised by MacFaydens comedic timing, because the most memoreable role of his for me is not Mr Darcy, it's Daniel from Death at a Funeral. xD
when he eats logan’s chicken 😭😭😭😭
I absolutely love Tom!
The king of the castle.
THANK YOU FOR THE CHICKEN
Logan's genuine confusion when Tom eats his chicken is so underrated
The only thing this show taught me is that corporate success is measured in how many Gregs you have under you.
Tombros, we did it
it's over, Kendolls
The most powerful "Yes !" In tv series
The opening clip made me laugh, but not out loud as I don’t wanna wake my father from his nap 😂
