i'm still not over the fact jack ended up reappearing in lateral. i wonder what other techdif characters will be recurring in the tom scott audiovisual universe like all your others, it's a wonderful animation, congrats!
yeah there's surprisingly amount of recurring things that was brought up in both Lateral and Citation Needed, either being the questions themselves or anecdotes that Tom adds like Gary's stag doo, though that was a Bonus Material so people might have missed it. ua-cam.com/video/69OfYdnPqaI/v-deo.htmlsi=5AiLtsy7zXJ9Ab6G
2:19 ah yes, the mighty recoilless rifle, that has been explained many times in the programme...Love you so much for dropping these cameos all the time!
I'm glad I added in the extra movement between frames so it seems more fluid, it somehow makes the contrast between calmly asking Chris Jeeves and slicing up a Nazi that much more stark
@@Trek001 Well, I didn't quite want to cey long time. I don't want to put extra stress on content creators by yelling and running into the comment section.
@@CamstonIsland I just feel like there is still sooo much left in just that episode that would work well drawn out like this. 😅 Like, there would probably be two more parts at least. Can we do anything to make your life easier so you have more time to do these? 🙈
Epic as always. Not only the unique style, but massive knowledge of perspective, anatomy and mechanics of items used. I hope that "chocolate wars" from s1e7 are brewing, because I'd like to see what your imagination can do with it. Absolutely fabulous!
Thanks! I'm trained in architectural design, so I'd hope I could do basic freehand perspective! Chocolate Wars are going to be a big challenge, especially since, given the materiality of chocolate and candy wrappers, I would like to use something more like photocollage mixed with this drawn style.
Fun fact: The Germans also thought that Jack Churchill was related to Winston, so when he was captured in Yugoslavia, they flew him to Berlin for interrogation and put him in Sachsenhausen thinking that he was a politically useful bargaining chip.
Born too late to witness Mad Cap'n Tom... Born too soon to witness Chris Joel star in the sure-to-be-released Jack Churchill film... But born just in time to see this one person doodle all over pre-existing Tom Scott-adjacent content!
That was not intentional. No constructive and humourous criticism allowed. You are only allowed to view my work in the way I intended it! It's obviously a Platypus tail.
Frankly I'm grateful they did, because that would have to be at least an extra two minutes of animation right there, and I don't intend on living long enough to finish it!
I just found your channel and love all of these. If you're looking for ideas on other bits, might I suggest Will's theories for Julie D'Aubigny's Convent Heist?
This is absolutely fantastic, but I was so disappointed that you, like the rest of the TechDiff crew, ignored Gary's Batman joke at 2:48! I really wanted to see Chris morph into the caped crusader for a fraction of a second before flinging the mask back off and returning to Jeeves form...
I’m not sure it’s ignored so much as nobody noticed, it took this comment to make me realise and I’ve seen both the animation and the full episode several times
We all know what happened last time Tom found out about a fan community thing... To be fair that subreddit was effectively close to doxxing him, but we need to keep this on the down-low! Gary thought the Henricus one was funny though...
And either Mystery Biscuit or other TechDiff sound effects. Get a lot of notifications and it’d sound like an episode of citation needed. (Ding, honk, panthers, OUT SCOTT, hit by a train, mystery biscuits. Hopefully in that order)
Years ago I made that picture, and I thought I'd include it. I don't even remember what the joke was. It's a non-sequitur, just ignore it and carry your bafflement to the next segment.
If any CN episode deserved animation, it’s definitely this one.
Quite right
And acoustic kitten
The Chocolate Wars from "The Flag of Mars and Rods From God"
And Henricus
Seargant Reckless also deserves one

Hey, you can't show the alternative presentation of that detail on this online video service!
I think even back in WW2, you did still have a few batmen for commanding officers, so this could be how he was carrying all those things.
I’m fairly sure they had them in WWI anyway.
It's the nutter that tried to fight WW1 with a claymore!
Finally he's here!! 🎉
no, not WW1, that was almost expected on some parts at the time.
WW2!

Jack Churchill literally was just a guy who time travelled to WW2 from medieval times in terms of mentality and just went for it

I lost it at the table top time machine. Utterly incredible.
I didn't even see that in the first round of watching! Thanks for pointing that out
I was hoping people would recognise it as that!
Man that "Gentleman's Gentleman" bit was definitely improved by you, damn that was funny.

2:01 "Tom, does the wheel spin and land, as it does 50% of the time, on France?"
I'd like you to know that every time one of these comes out, our group of friends decided which screengrab should be our new group chat photo
That is fantastic. I wonder which frame came from this one!
My bet's on Bazooka Chris
@@CamstonIsland I can confirm a previous one was Gary screaming "WHAT?!" and the mustard flying out of his eyes from the tartar sauce rustling episode
That's a good one, I cleaned it up and reused it i this- for if you wish your Garys to be mustardless
What a hero 🥲
Indubitably!
2:01 It's the Wheel again. And half of it is France
It would be weird if it weren't half, would it?

THANK YOU for bringing up you're further with a gun
An original joke for once on my part, only slightly derivative from the source material!
I wish you had included "claymore the sword, not claymore the mine" confusion
Yes! This is what we came for! Julie D'Aubigny next, please.
I'll certainly look into that one! TechDif Animated might be a bit Series 6 heavy though :\

Nice use of an interrobang, Tom scott would be proud
"Great!" 👍

love the wheel spin reference!!! :D

Fantastic. I have dreamt of an animated version of that story since it was told, and it's finally here!
Most splendid!
Love the brief cameo of the tabletop time machine
This came out wayyyy better than expected! I am laughing my ass of (while i am glad that no one else is in the office )
THANK YOU!
Oh dear, do I need to list these as Not-Safe-For-Work?
If that's the case then I wouldn't have needed to use a clean census list for that one scene!
We've been robbed of an image of Stalin on a cherry picker
I love how Tom's chair tends to look like he's a beaver and that's his tail. 😅
That was not intentional.
No constructive and humourous criticism allowed.
You are only allowed to view my work in the way I intended it!
It's obviously a Platypus tail.
@@CamstonIsland I suspected it might not have been intentional. 🙈 As thou wishest, I will go ahead and unsee this immediately.
Jesus, why'd I only find this now? Absolute gold! :)
Lovely episode, Chris' tales all deserve the treatment. Still bummed out that Stalins cherry picket didn't make it
He wasn't Scottish!
much to his disappointment I'm sure
But he was a supermarket
I am still sad that they forgot the fact, that this man almost caused a war in the middle east...
Frankly I'm grateful they did, because that would have to be at least an extra two minutes of animation right there, and I don't intend on living long enough to finish it!
@@CamstonIsland Fair enough.
Animation can be a Royal Pain In the Arse.
Previously, on Tech Diff Animated...
TECH DIF SOAP OPERA FORMAT!
How have I not found this before? This is wonderful!
MYSTERY BISCUITS!!!!!
This video is fantastic!
superior even to chris' own pantomime!
It is his, I just spat out what was in my head and made you look at it for nearly four minutes.
what a classic techdif scene, perfect for an animation! also side note I absolutely love how gary "paints a picture" of 1941 norway
Amazing, as always!
High praise indeed!
"Nobody tried to shoot the back pipes?"
That man should have a movie made about him.
I love how this is staged like a history teacher trying to help his students
Unfortunately Tom cannot escape the silliness of the rest of the TechDif Gang, even if he has his white collar on.
Please keep doing these, if at all possible. This made my mfing day.
Amazing. I love it soo much. I have seen this episode so many times and it made it somehow better.
That's my goal! If it weren't then it'd be arguably non-transformative, and I'd go the way of the Tom Scott subreddit!

Your Animation has made one of the funniest segments funnies. I am not quite sure how you managed it but good on you.
I'm quite surprised too, the videos on themselves don't seem to be able to get funnier, and yet here we are apparently!
This is a masterpiece! You impress me every time 👏

Only if you could randomise it into a kind of 'Panthers?' roulette.
