IT HAS BEEN AN HONOUR (an honor, but british) to be involved in the story of Mr. Muffin. Although I have to say, he was a diva in the studio and couldn't stop reminding me that he was the #1 most famous muffin, even more famous than muffin men (who are not muffins, but servants to their muffins).

The sketch group Whitest Kids You Know wrote a lot of sketches involving kids trying to bush the envelope to see how far they could go before parents wouldn't let their kids be in the sketches. Parents never told them no.
So Mr. Muffin basically got created with: 2:13 _Catbug's Original Voice Actor_ _Tom's Dark Suicidal Thoughts_ _and A Small Berry Muffin on His Dinner Table_
This was really interesting, and cool to see the new custom animation for the old scrapped muffin song demos. Is it bad I started laughing when I realized that was like the end of Act 2 of every Behind the Music? “Behind the Muffin.” Anyway jokes aside, this was an interesting look at the muffin phenomenon and I enjoyed playing a small role and hearing the thoughts of everyone involved
Because Tom has a highly refined sense of comedic delivery. Almost as though he truly realized the category error in real time - probably why I chuckled most.
@@hayconsecuencias ...That makes too much sense. Tom said in What is the best asdfmovie joke? that he's God in the asdfmovie universe, so if he's the God that controls the universe, then Mr. Muffin is the Jesus that died for the asdfmovie universe's sins.
Also can we appreciate how he reached out to the tik tok girl who was totally harassed for being “cringe”? She did not deserve all that hate I’m glad he’s supporting her
I remember when asdf movies took a sharp dark turn and tried to find a platform to genuinly wish you the best because I could pick up on those vibes and felt really worried for you. I'm so glad you stuck around.
Asdf movie universe be like: A suicidal muffin A guy breaking his face on the ground A skateboarding cow (real man) A pie flavored pie A guy who likes trains A guy who’s gay and tells his person who he’s dating they are gay A taco who wants money A turtle that’s also a mine A STEGOSAURUS who loves killing people And the creator, who watches his chaos. There’s the chaotic universe!
man, it's great to see how big asdfmovie suddenly got again. i remember when muffin time came out and i never expected it to return in 2018 and later but here we are
The bridge of the muffin song I changed the first line to "As I reach the end of the line" So lyrics will be: "As I reach the end of the line, I cant afford to say goodbye, You and I are bound together, Especially since cartoons live forever" I cry ;w;
I had watched Tomska and DarkSquidge quite a lot over the years, so I knew what the bridge meant, and it always made me cry. I listened to the song so many times.
I hope Tom never stops doing youtube because of stats telling him he's not as popular as he was years back. We like your stuff, Tom, so as long as you enjoy doing this, please do. That's all that matters imo
Name a more popular muffin? Me talking to myself, the muffin man. Tom: the muffin man doesn’t count he is a man Me: ..... staring at phone ... can you hear me Tom?
Tomska's videos make me smile everytime while i'm going through depression. I'm pretty sure that more people have it worse than me so let me tell you this. It will be alright. And I love you
i bet this muffin, and comments like yours keeps him going :) also isnt it crazy how depressed people are often the creators of media that help US through tough times? I blasted this song when i was in a dark spot because "haha relatable" but man, the happiness in that song got me out of it
#respect I’m pretty sure I don’t have depression but I’m going through an identity crisis where I make myself a clown and make fun of myself to be appreciated to an extent but I accidentally made it my real self and forgot who I am and the funny thing is whenever I talk about this with friends I try to sound sincere but it’s impossible because of me not knowing HOW everything is a joke when I gained popularity and I accidentally made it stay that way
I remember when the song 1st came out. Everyone was worried about you. We wanted to show our love and support. Happy that your doing better and going stronger than ever.
I remember being at a really dark place in my life when this song came out. I wasn't part of the tik tok trend as I too am incredibly easily distracted. But honestly this song when it was on soundcloud, the only app that my parental block bricked phone had, made me smile. It was catchy and it had a message at the end I could really feel, although a lot different than Tom's perspective, the lyrics were really important to me. Thanks Tom for all the content, it's been a wild ride
What gets me even more is like, there super well designed too..? I dunno but its like nice and still quality I always think of when it comes to Tom's stuff :P
Honestly, i think is pretty amazing how recognisable you are. Almost everyone i meet either knows you, or has seen your work. Youll never lose relevence my dude.
Thank you for making this and telling this story. As someone who also suffers from depression and suicidal ideation, this gave me some hope for my future. I've always looked up to you and found you so hilarious, your videos brought light to my darkest times and I am so grateful for that. This video really puts it in perspective and made me feel not quite so alone. Thank you :)
I remember when "It's muffin time" came out. The content just resonated with me since I knew what happened through the many years I've been following you and the others. I felt sad knowing that the end was close, but also glad you could get this message out for people to get : the exhaustion, the disconnect, things rapidly changing around you... But when the song went viral on TikTok etc, I felt disgusted. People were turning this song into a funny meme song and turning it into cringe compilations, completely stripping it out of the message that it carried. I was angry. But look at that, with all the memes sparking out of nowhere, the interest suddenly came back and allowed you to expand, create and do even more than a random dude telling people about the real meaning and message behind the song would ever do. I've been a fool all along, and I'm glad to have been one. The internet is a wonderful place, and I'm very glad you're still around.
I loved the Muffin so much, and it was nice being able to relate to a character in one's darker times. I'm better now and still comes back for it ever so often.
Why am I getting this emotional? I wish you can know how much we care about you, Tom. This is such a lovely video, and super interesting... I still tear up every time I get to the bridge of the song because it feels real and I was scared you were quitting, but I didn't know what was happening behind the scenes, with TikTok and all. Thank you for sharing this with us
My son had just turned 1 when the muffin song came out. I was hooked (been a fan for years) so I was listening to it in the kitchen while making dinner. Suddenly, my wife says, "Turn around!" and my son is dancing and laughing in the dining room. He's bobbing up and down and having the time of his life! One of his first words was 'Muffin' and even now he still loves it. Kinda feel like a bad dad occasionally... but he has no idea and it's so cute :P
Not sure if any one will see this but neat little update, the muffin song I believe has gone platinum with over 130 million 'sales' (over 200 million streams). I just think that this is super neat and love seeing Tom grow such success since he has more then earned it through his over a decade of hard work.
The voice is what first caught my attention. There's something intriguing about the whole song - as an adult I can't stop listening to it lol. Thank you! I hope you're in a better place now. I can relate to those su1c1dal feelings.
God, I still can't believe that like 10 years ago or something (2009 I think?) I randomly decided to type "ASDF" on my keyboard cause I thought I was being so funny typing that into YT. Only to find the first (and only at the time) ASDDF movie and my friend and I laughing so hard we had to share the video with friends. Now here I am, Married with a house and a dog but still a long time fan. I think I may have watched everything you have posted to this day and just want to say thank you for all the fun over the years.
@@immortal_shrooms6757 yeah, it's like "I'm in pain, ofc I need/want attention." I think it's because people want to deny it's happening, or shame people into staying 'functional' instead of acting out. Ugh, people can be incredibly stupid
My mom did that to me, too. When I tried to unalive myself, she screamed at me and accused me of attention-seeking. She asked me "how many more times I was planning on doing this to [my family]", and she told me I was a problem. When my high school counselor told her that I should be taken to a psychiatrist, she almost refused. When I was professionally diagnosed with clinical depression and prescribed antidepressants, she threw them at me and said "here are your happy pills. I hope you're happy now", then slammed my bedroom door and started a trend of ignoring me whenever I did something to piss her off. The longest running streak of her ignoring me was 2 months (she basically didn't interact with me and pretended I didn't exist). I still don't ask for help with anything anymore because I am afraid of people thinking I am asking for attention. And, no, to answer her question: I certainly wasn't happy.
Honestly tom, thats why im scared to sleep at night. The constant thoughts of suicides, i dont want them but i dont see myself in a good way. My cope though is playing games like mc and letting myself make things that others can appreciate.
The muffin who is suicidal saved your life , the irony is strong with this one.

*hehehe*
This is Yes
I'm really not sad content's over, because Tom's humour is always with us
I want to ask though tom, are you okay?
I believe he's been very good lately
I think it's the simple question that everyone needs right now.
"That's not one of the original recordings, I wouldn't put someone on blast like that." He said, while destroying his godson
LOL
I loved the Muffin so much, and it was nice being able to relate to a character in one's darker times. I'm better now and still comes back for it ever so often.
Hello Thomas " Tomska " Ridgewell.
Don’t worry Tom, we’re all still here and we’re gonna stick around to see what you can create next ❤️❤️
The Muffin Man was very much a muffin. It’s right there in the lyrics: “Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin.”
I hope you know, I screamed at asdfmovie 7 when I heard Catbug.
Who knew the TomSka outro song from 2016-2017 was actually the unused Muffin Song (anyways please release the full versions of them they were bangers)
Why am I getting this emotional? I wish you can know how much we care about you, Tom. This is such a lovely video, and super interesting... I still tear up every time I get to the bridge of the song because it feels real and I was scared you were quitting, but I didn't know what was happening behind the scenes, with TikTok and all. Thank you for sharing this with us
Who's gonna watch a 30 min video instead of doing homework that was due 1 week ago? Me
eyy
30 min video about a muffin*
@@yueffstueff6542 F
who is gonna talk about stuff no one asked about? yeah you
*offended spaghetti noises*
I would love to have seen an asdf movie that just fully loses its comedic edge half way through, the impact would be huge
This video was way more interesting than I thought it would be. I love stuff like this and I love you Tom
My son had just turned 1 when the muffin song came out. I was hooked (been a fan for years) so I was listening to it in the kitchen while making dinner. Suddenly, my wife says, "Turn around!" and my son is dancing and laughing in the dining room. He's bobbing up and down and having the time of his life! One of his first words was 'Muffin' and even now he still loves it.
Kinda feel like a bad dad occasionally... but he has no idea and it's so cute :P

I like the scrapped version and they sound like one song before you look at right bottom of the screen
Glad you could get through those tough times. Stay strong my friend.
tomska: you saved my life!
muffin: yay so are you gonna eat me or not?

Not sure if any one will see this but neat little update, the muffin song I believe has gone platinum with over 130 million 'sales' (over 200 million streams). I just think that this is super neat and love seeing Tom grow such success since he has more then earned it through his over a decade of hard work.
Tom is the only guy I know who makes a sleeveless hoodie look good.
The muffin died for Tom’s sins...
jesus muffin, the j'uffin?
@@mr.dinosuar7333 the *j'uffin?*
@@yeet12937 the j'uffin
@@mr.dinosuar7333 get a muffin before the muffin will get u
The j’uffin was hung to a display case in a bakery.
The voice is what first caught my attention. There's something intriguing about the whole song - as an adult I can't stop listening to it lol. Thank you!
I hope you're in a better place now. I can relate to those su1c1dal feelings.
Never knew that the story behind the muffin and tomska could be this deep and emotional.
God, I still can't believe that like 10 years ago or something (2009 I think?) I randomly decided to type "ASDF" on my keyboard cause I thought I was being so funny typing that into YT. Only to find the first (and only at the time) ASDDF movie and my friend and I laughing so hard we had to share the video with friends. Now here I am, Married with a house and a dog but still a long time fan. I think I may have watched everything you have posted to this day and just want to say thank you for all the fun over the years.
THIS MAKES MUFFIN KID SO MUCH CUTER

It gets me that Sam's mom went along with the suicidal muffin thing
3:40 how dare you slap me across the face with nostalgia like that
My parents said that my suicidal ideation and depressed thoughts were just attention seeking and that messed me up really bad for like three years
Attention seeking is not a bad thing. Why do people think that?
@@immortal_shrooms6757 yeah, it's like "I'm in pain, ofc I need/want attention." I think it's because people want to deny it's happening, or shame people into staying 'functional' instead of acting out. Ugh, people can be incredibly stupid
I'm so sorry to hear that happened, sometimes parents are completely unqualified for this shit. What's happened since then? Are you okay? ❤️❤️
My mom did that to me, too. When I tried to unalive myself, she screamed at me and accused me of attention-seeking. She asked me "how many more times I was planning on doing this to [my family]", and she told me I was a problem. When my high school counselor told her that I should be taken to a psychiatrist, she almost refused. When I was professionally diagnosed with clinical depression and prescribed antidepressants, she threw them at me and said "here are your happy pills. I hope you're happy now", then slammed my bedroom door and started a trend of ignoring me whenever I did something to piss her off. The longest running streak of her ignoring me was 2 months (she basically didn't interact with me and pretended I didn't exist). I still don't ask for help with anything anymore because I am afraid of people thinking I am asking for attention. And, no, to answer her question: I certainly wasn't happy.
@@JackHallowLantern You okay now? I know from experience that parents are very ignorant, but this seems really extreme
Honestly tom, thats why im scared to sleep at night. The constant thoughts of suicides, i dont want them but i dont see myself in a good way. My cope though is playing games like mc and letting myself make things that others can appreciate.
If this is the future of Darksquidge, I'm definitely satisfied, it's so good, please keep going
