Also, he runs like a terminator. A maniacally smiling terminator.
Honestly it's insane that he's only 4 years younger than Robert Patrick, but if they did a remake of Terminator 2, he could still pull off the T1000
🤣🤣🤣👌
Cue the T1000 motorcycle chase music....
What, like an army of them in Oblivion? 😬😬😬😬
🤯
@@nipstyler yup, it’s in my head every time he runs like that. Seriously.
Nu nu nyaaa!
Tom Cruise was Christian Bale's inspiration for his role in American Psycho. So it's not just you.
Really? Hilarious if true.
Wow. Is that true?
@@juliewake4585 According to the director, Mary Harron: _"We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy."_
Listen DUNDERHEAD!
if an actor says Tom Cruise's name for promoting his movie,it's a good PR boost for his film and if it's the other way around ,Tom starring in a psycho killer movie and saying Christian Bale or Jack Nicholson in the Shining or anyone else was his inspiration then y'all geekos would of been like Tom Cruise is absolutely nuts,who cares,He's a fuckin Scientologist.
@@AndrewKay OMG! This quote describes Cruise in a nutshell. Even in earlier movies of his, like the first Top Gun, the way he moves (e.g. he doesn't turn just his eyes or head to look, he stiffly rotates his torso) has always struck me as android/alien like. And the nothing behind the eyes thing. Very intense with completely empty eyes. Chilling
I think it is also telling, that for me, one of his best performances is as a cold blooded assassin in Collateral. His sheer lack of humanity that is portrayed in this character is quite chilling. An excellent film, and Michael Mann, I'm sure picked Cruise very carefully for this role. None of the excesses of say Don from Sexy Beast, just an ice cold killer.
Well there's a lot I could say but you might be aware of a certain substance that he takes which helps with longevity (& possibly his youthful appearance. I mean the dude doesn't age, does he?) You've heard of the search engine Google Chrome. Clever choice of word & therein lies the clue. It's seriously evil & the KID'S film Monsters Inc more or less spells it out!
@@wakingtheworld spice?? 😄
@@timbeaton5045 Lol.... The theme of the film not the title. Scaring children to extract their screams though in actuality summat far worse.... It's the elephant in the room; the 'hidden in plain sight' agenda!
Of course, spice! Explains why he can't do a chat show without humping the couch.
Monster energy drinks?
He is admirable for his cinema hijinks. Its the scientology scares the shit of me.😅
It makes the same sense as every other religion to me, none at all.
@@sharpvidtubeExactly. The number of horrific events brought about over the past centuries due to fanatical support for Christianity (and other “faiths”) should scare the sh#t out of everyone (@ajshortman included) - Scientology has a long way to go to match it!
@@sharpvidtube It only makes sense in the light of its profitability and in that it's run by a total fucking psychopath who disappeared his wife.
NB. I must check with the lawyers to see if I'm allowed to say that.
Other religions don't make you disconnect from your family if you leave. Other religions don't maintain a literal no-shit prison for people who annoy the leader (Look up the Rehabilitation Project Force). Other religions don't maintain files of blackmail material on all their members.
Being distrustful of religion as a whole is fine, but it's silly to compare a cult like Scientology to mainstream religions.
@@sharpvidtube Oh religion makes sense to me. A sense of community. A sense of doing good in some spurious way. Most religions don't utterly f*ck you up like scientology does to its victimes (unless you're a celebrity in which case you're treated like royalty) .
ironically, you are a brilliant and thoughtful podcast/youtube artist Michael.
Steady on
hah 😂
I'm reminded that Christian Bale's performance in "American Psycho" was inspired by Tom Cruise and his, quote, "intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes".
Spot on description.
Tom Cruise is his own spirit animal. On meth.
Lol
#uniquesentences
Wudda been happy with the first statement. But im glad you didnt stop there
Hang on, wasn't that Charlie Sheen?
@@aarondavidson6409 hahah!
Thank you for mentioning the craziness of 1999 in cinema... Green Mile, Fight Club and The Matrix in one year was crazy... plus the others you said, plus The Talented Mr Ripley.
I went down a Tom Cruise rabbit hole for like 3 days last year for reasons that I honestly can't remember, and the things I was learning about him frightened me too. One of the things I learned that weirded me out, and I didn't know why, was that he eats "15 micro meals a day" and it just sounded so inhuman to me lol.
But 15 micro meals is just a fancy pants Hollywood way of saying that he eats a lot of snacks.
He likes a Balti.
1. He's starved for attention like most performers
2. He's afraid of getting old and dying like everybody else
3. He doesn't do enough drugs or alcohol to deal with it normally
The guy just wants to make good movies that's all
Michael or Tom? 🤔😉
@@VHO42Hahaha, Michael is a gem though
*As a survivor of child trafficking from the same cult that absolutely worships Tom Cruise... this theory is hilarious. And I find it very sweet and delightful as a fan of yours.*
*The truth is far less adorable. I will tell you a true story. Whilst being trafficked as a young person by the "Sea Organization" in the late 90's... all of us were forced to attend opening day of the brand new film Battlefield Earth. Also known as the worst bad movie of all time. It was the first showtime for the LA theatre that early Friday. And my group was shuffled in with a large group from the Cult's international management office. And something interesting happened during the trailers. The preview for Eyes Wide Shut came on. And the management staff had some very stange reactions to this trailer. When the first shot of Tom came on screen, they all started to cheer in unison. Fair enough. He is a very popular member.*
*But then the first shot of Nicole Kidman came on. And that whole group boo'd even louder than they just cheered for Tom! And they were still married at this point!*
*A few of us in our group looked at one another... VERY confused. They knew something we didn't. That the big boss man, David Miscavige, was actively working to split them up.*
*Miscavige had, for some time, made it his mission in life to make Tom Cruise his best friend. Apparently Nicole was NOT into it.*
*It has since been confirmed by several people who worked directly for Miscavige and became whistleblowers about his insane behavior... that he personally convinced Tom to allow him to have her followed, and wire-tapped, and bugged. So that dirt could be found about her, and revealed to Mr. Cruise. So that he would divorce her. You can look all this up. It's incredibly well documented. I assure you.*
*But a LOT of things changed about Tom after that. As you have perfectly pointed out here. But behind the scenes, he absolutely SURROUNDED himself with Miscavige approved people. Exclusively. And famously had them pre-screen potential dating candidates. All through them.*
*Those stories are also fully documented. And heartbreaking. But his professional career changes became very streamlined as well. And you also have to understand that he's mostly thinking about work as a producer. You know... he MAKES the films that he stars in.*
*He'll bring on directors to shoot the movie. But he RUNS the films (see infamous covid mask rant as exhibit-a). So his money is made on the back end. Far more than if he just took the biggest paydays he could find for acting rolls.*
*And what movies does he know how to make? Action. Action movies starring Tom Cruise. Big stunts. Big box office numbers. Big money. He did NOT participate in the actors strike. He's on the OTHER side of that team.*
*But yeah... those were the big changes from 1999. Good times!*
And I didn't say the "S-word"! Because I love you, bruh! ❤😂
This comment needs to be pinned on top Michael!
Tom Cruise is a terrific action star, but a shitty person. Weird little fella.
@gt_kenny Awww, that's very sweet of you! But I don't think he necessarily wants to wave that flag just so. That's what I understood his closing statement to mean. And why I avoided the "S-word" in my comment.
I just hope reading it made his day a little freaky-deeky... ya know what I mean?
😂😉😉🙏🤣🥳
Thank you! I commented too, but spoke out the "S" word because I think this sh*t should be exposed af. Like the protesters are doing in LA, CW and other cities. It's time for this cult to end. You're very brave to have survived and to inform about what's going on there. I hope CoS gets its tax exempt status revoked ASAP. This will be the beginning of the end of this terror.
Fascinating, and disturbing. I hope you are doing well by the way
His skills as an actor don’t get enough respect
Glorious! “Isn’t this a bit cliché dad?”
'cliche' would be the allotment not doing big stunts though
It's doesn't matter what you're talking about Michael, I'll always watch because you've always got something interesting to say. This vid was no different 🙂👍
From one human being to another, thank you. I like when you talk about things. Keep talking about things. You are insightful and funny and you feed my brain with your witty observations. As you were.
60 middle aged, just hope I live to 120, could do with another 45+ years. In mid January broke fibula and tore off Deltoid ligament, my local friends rumoured it was a skateboard accident, which would only happen if it fell out of storage cupboard under my foot and I went flying, I supported their efforts by admitting I skydived onto a skateboard.
Ouch. Heal fast x
😂😂😂
Love your new content. Your delivery is spot on and you speak your truth, at least it seems that you make an effort. Thank you!
Spicer you madlad, every week a new video. I love it
1999 was an amazing year to be single, staying up late watching rented movies from Blockbuster
Excellent observation about 1999, what a year it was.
Imagine if Tom Cruise played Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. Less fictional movie, more fly-on-the-wall documentary
Sadly that wouldn't be possible, owing to the fact that in the book Tom Cruise lives in the same apartment block as Bateman.
Christian Bale based his performance on him
@@HeisenBird All the more reason to do it in the film, because it’s a movie adaptation, not the book
@@pauldupont8051 So it would’ve been perfect casting then 😂
The terrific ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ started with a very anti-Cruise character. Of course, by the end…
I loveeee that film. The story plus him and Emily. Just excellent
I'd like to comment and say that i like the new style, merging of classic youtube vlog and satire. I'm always happy to see you in my subscriptions! Just to not give you too much self confidence I'll balance it by saying that weirdly i think the lighting in these videos are too good. Feels like you'll start teaching me the best way to apply a purple eye drop shadow.
A little known fact about Tom Cruise is that although he was raised in the USA, he was actually born in Coldhaven
Although the hospital only has a record of him leaving the building and not any parents. And it did coincide with that UFO scare around the same time.
😂
This made me laugh out loud!
It's said to be on the night of the Great Madness. The elders will tell you about it.
Do NOT go into the changing rooms.......
Hilarious, absolutely hilarious! "I'm going to swim with some sharks at the local aquarium on Tuesday ..." Insane!
Those Red Letter Day gifts are getting weirder and weirder.
Live volcano broke me. Also, TC creeps the heck out of me. Always has.
Me too. Not a fan
As Anthony Hopkins said in MI2, “This isn’t mission difficult, Mr Hunt. It’s mission impossible”
More Mission implausible.
@@billgreen576 - If it were “Mission Realistic” it’d be no fun at all.
I love this style of content you're creating! It's hard to know when you are being 'real' or just parody + it allows you to weave your unique style of sketches in on topics that 'alone' make no sense any other way!
Great content as always!
Thank you! You put into words, what I have not been able. These monologues are truly brilliant and I find myself wondering how much of it is real and how much of it is satire! (The mark of a good satirist, I presume)!
Edit: to add clarity / fix grammar
I think there's an even stronger link between Mission: Impossible and Scientology. A film series about a highly secretive organisation, of which Cruise is a central poster boy, that frequently comes between him and his love life (I mean come one, Michelle Monaghan is basically a stand-in for Katie Holmes), but is ultimately essential to SAVING THE WORLD! I wholeheartedly believe Mission: Impossible has become Tom Cruise's mad scientologist power fantasy.
I liked that part in _Reacher_ when he was _reaching_ to try to get something off the fridge. Way there in the back? It was a pretty big reach.
My daughter reckons I love edge of tomorrow cos it's cruise getting killed over and over
Hadn't thought of it that way....😅
Your "Madness of Billionaires" video got deleted! Why?
I like the way you're drifting Michael. Satire and farce mixed with serious (& smart) commentary and analysis. Bring it on!
I think his Oprah interview on Scientology scares me the most!
Didn't watch that one but she's the devil incarnate and they're birds of a feather. Nuff said.
Love your dad, pretty adventurous lad, all-in guy. You have got to make a better effort to keep up with him, why not join him shark swimming on Tuesday? 🤣🤪😉
I was listening to a recent episode of the rest is entertainment podcast and they discussed Tom Cruise's persona.
They said he had an incredible publicist in the early years of his career and when he fired her that's when the perception of him changed. Basically, for years she had done an amazing job of hiding from the world how nuts he is.
Great vid again, you seem to be getting better and better. Cant wait for the next one!
Thanks for the geocaching mention in the name of geocachers :)
I like the plant in the window
It grows on you
That’s no plant that’s….thats….. OMG THATS TOM CRUISE! RUN MICHAEL, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
It's no lava lamp but it'll do. The videos could do with a Hiptang sponsorship though.
Nah, you got it on backwards, Michael. Tom just wants to be a pint sized Arnie, Stallone, Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, all rolled into one, big, beady eyed, space deity. It’s a noble mission.
Michael - why did you just make the millionaires video private when I has half way through watching it, it just blacked out 😭 Did musk/elon come after you 😂
I'm really enjoying this style of video, hilarious as always!
Just want to say I love the direction the channel has gone in recently. I've been really looking forward to these videos
I'm Cruise's age and I'm old. I'm very happy to be old and have no problem acknowledging it. I find the people in my cohort that try to pretend that we're not old to be really sad. It took me 60 trips around the sun to get here and I want the credit for learning the things I did along that journey.
I absolutely love your channel ❤️
He's a Scientologist. Enough said 😬.
1999 also had the South Park movie
It's the continuous, demonstrative swirling arm and hand movements, the permanent smile and perfect teeth that rile me. He"s the neighbourly psychopath in my little book. Like Rock Hudson, going all out not to look gay.
I love the fact you drop these as I finish work lol, perfect viewing for the journey home
And loved this one lol, exactly how every tom cruise fan feels.. Love his work. Hes talented.. But he's scary af with intensity lol, hope your dad's weekend goes well btw 😂
This is great! Michael, I admire the way you think and communicate. As usual, intelligent and hilarious. Best regards, C.
Calligraphy 😂 Love the vid, thanks!
Your good acting really fuels these videos. I need cheering and you do it. Thanks.
It's the feeling that he knows things, has seen things and done things that you just have no idea about and never will...genuinely creepy. At the same time, I admire his drive.
Rain man was good.
And his science fiction-y movies; Like Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, Minority Report...
I loved Vanilla Sky
Michael, you elevate deadpan comedy to the realms of genius 🎉 I love it every time ❤
Absolutely right. Man is so creepy. .
Sometimes I chuckle when viewing a comedy bit video on UA-cam, other times I'll, you know, do that sharp nasal exhale, but this time, oh man, I absolutely guffawed at the conversation with your father. 👌Top work mate
So brilliant as usual
You can never take a man in high heels too seriously.

_Looks at Ukraine's president._
Love these vids :D
Love the new spin of your channel, Michael but love your old format too. Love the skits - great acting as ever. Re things I want to say about TC, I'm gonna piggyback on others comments!
Patrick Batemans character in American Psycho is based on Tom Cruise
I love that clip of Christian Bale saying he based his performance in American Psycho on Tom Cruise because he has dead eyes.
Eyes Wide Shut BTW is just bad..
He terrifies me after watching Going Clear. The power of that organisation, and the way they go after anyone who challenges them, I do feel like a lot of Hollywood sucks up to him out of fear.
Quite enjoying this new format. Very old school UA-cam but like, well written
Do you know that scene near the end of The Matrix? Where Neo runs into Smith. Literally runs into him. Then bursts out. That's what I think Tom Cruise will do at some point.
He's going to be so one with himself that someone is going to get exploded from the inside by him flexing. He's a very powerful man.
last time, your Dad thought the sat nav was a radio - CLASSIC Dad!
Another bullseye🎯. More like this please, I feel you have hit a rich vein here.
Thank you!!! I have never understood anyone wanting to watch his films. I cant bear to watch him!!!
Absolutely brilliant, I love the new and original format of comedy😂😂😅😂👌🏽💯
Everything about Tom Cruise is easily explained in three words: He Is Short.
That eyes wide shut film was really surreal. It was brilliant, but in a way that makes u never ever watch it again 😅
Your original insightfulness and wit/humour make us mere mortals think deeper into.....things.
"Muscly running legs" 😂
At last!!! This is what we have been waiting for! YESSS!!!
The way he says " "Mission Impossible" films" at 6:00 is worth noticing.
Notice it.
😂😂😂Liked, Shared, Keep it up
Love the new style.
Excellent, his intensity scares me especially surrounding his very questionable behaviour within the Church of Scientology.
Agree 100%. When people laugh and joke, it's supposed to be relaxing...bonding even. When Tom does it, it's sinister, and has a menacing, untrustworthy vibe. I think it's because Tom has spent his entire life keeping down his true feelings, defended from his true self and insecurities, and 'rebuilding' a version of himself, acceptable to his audience, to him, to The Church, and generally playing whack-a-mole with problematic emotions, people and situations. Ostensibly living in his own Machiavellian controlling dystopia, where he almost fully believes the reflection he sees in the mirror. But just a flicker of unhappy child Tom comes through, when his buttons get pushed by the 'wrong' interviewer, or where PR goes off message. Happy days.
Really good video, made me think and laugh 👍
your cuts are well placed
I enjoy your videos
TC is the only man alive who can survive boiling a kettle on a boat.
Love it. Perhaps the next installment might be Tom's Thetan whispering to Tom from the next room?
Nick Cody joke: "You know who doesn't do their own stunts? Tall actors."
Dude. Keep going. Slowly becoming my favorite uk comedian/writer. Damnit give this man David Mitchell resources, now!! Sketch comedy green light gold. I could see Richard ayoade playing your boss, or like a forced detective partnership in odd environment
"... of *other* UA-cam videos." I think it's safe to say that Michael knows what "fair game" means to a scientologist. 🤣
Yeah, but they're waaay softer now than they were years ago. They're shrinking, they have no staff (struggling to have enough staff to open the new orgs), Miscavige is involved in several lawsuits right now in which the judges will NOT give him some slack, one of their famous poster boys went to prison for multiple r4pes (Danny Masterson) and there's a small but very loud crowd giving them a hard time protesting for MONTHS and raising awareness on UA-cam. CoS is on their way down. Just waiting for them to have their tax exempt status removed, and goodbye.
Thanks for some Tom Cruz dialogue . I was happy to see him strip away his cultivated persona, in 'Magnolia'. I never liked his persona much.
No me neither. I try to avoid films with Cruise, although I was impressed with Magnolia.
My GP looks like Tom Cruise. It's not a comforting thought.
Once heard a critic of the original Mission Impossible say Austin Powers had sent up the action spy genre so much, no one could make one and have it taken seriously, so Cruise having nowhere to go, went nuclear.
😂😂Loved it
I find him terrifying and creepy too. Great video 👌
@@gwarlowAhh. U're one of those annoying people who goes around criticising people 🙄. How cliché also
@@gwarlow Run down the ex-scientologist rabbit hole a bit. When part of your personal life believes that RPF is good for those going through it, there is something wrong.
It's the Scientology that gives him that creepy, zealous vibe.
Dear Mr Spicer, I've loved your videos since The Room Next Door. Thank you for all the (albeit, bitter) laughs. And thank you especially for this one. You're absolutely right about his eyes, and watch his posture when there are questions he doesn't particularly appreciate. Even if nobody really dares to put really challenging questions to him ... If you've heard just a tiny bit about Scientology, e.g. bull baiting and becoming OT anything, and with that, a superior being, and all the training away any human emotion, Tom Cruise really IS scary as hell.
Non representational anecdote - but after filming himself hanging out of a Airbus A400M at nearby RAF Wittering one day he apparently went into a pub in our town and "was very nice" and let people take selfies and bought a round of drinks or something. Still terrifying though yeah.
spot on
Spot on
Brilliant!
Thank you
I love your humour.
Very clever digital-aging/deaging done in the video 👍
(Although to be fair the scarf might be doing a lot of the heavy lifting)
