I like how this video goes "If you know about things from this tier, you might be out to murder me" and then lists patreon exclusive content
yea 😎
@@TomSkaAndFriends hey there
@@AdamToons_Hey there yourself "Adam"
@@TomSkaAndFriends Hi Tom. It's funny how many of those things I knew, considering I'm not in a position to be a Patreon yet. Grew up watching your videos and watching you grow as a person has been incredibly inspiring. Keep up th great work! PS - I promise I'm not a stalker following you everywhere......
...yet XD
Knowing Tom's allergic to his horse mask makes me respect him for that sketch even more.
I can't believe I never realized tom was under the horse mask
wait, YOU made snape realises the fucking candles are floating??? i love that video hahahaha
I was just thinking that!
Loool same 😭
Didn't he make that for tryhards season 2 in 2023?
@@sammcneillmckinnell5003no he references it in the tiktok episode but he also says he made it years ago
Now I know what Tom meant when he tweeted that he's trying to find Surfshark's line in the sand in terms of how fucked he can make the ad
Maybe the shark on the deviantart account is the fabled Surfshark
I think if they green-lit that they don't have a line in the sand!
@@umbralumbreon7380 _They tried to warn us..._
I mean ,i did a thing' made'a nose +suicide joke while talking over a raid shadow legends ad ig they all are kinda ok with it because they now the humor from the creators
And NOW we know that there probably isn't one that wouldn't also get the video removed by UA-cam.
this video made me just realise that tom is filming on a GREEN SCREEN NOT IN AN ACTUALL ROOM WITH SHELVES AND STUFF - unbelievable! IM SHOOOOOCKED!
Hey check Mark
Oh shit he is
bro
bro bro noooooooooooo
was it always green screen???
my head hurts
Wait he is??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
Same
Tom goes from
“Why didn’t you call me?”
To
*Leave me alone.*
You had your chance
I know the feeling tbh
mental health yaaay
the web tab saying Mario x Luigi is amazing attention to detail
who ever makes that must die
@@noobyplays3981 agreed
"Look at Jack Howard" might be the mysterious bottom of the TomSka iceberg, but at one point my Twitter data claimed my account was known for the topic "Jack Howard"
Why did that video have to go? I want to hear it in its full glory
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 It was on the Tacmaps channel, but it got deleted unfortunately
@@Erone I know
a) This is a really interesting and fun video
b) Surfshark has my unwavering respect at the moment for letting these sponsor segments exist. Most companies don't have the balls for it. So respect to them.
Surfshark is a rare case of a company that understands it's demographic.
You should see Internet Historian's NordVPN ads hahaha
"Surfshark. We paid actual money for this ad."
Who would win in a VPN advertising deathmatch:
Surfshark
Nord
Express
Let the fight begin
They learned after fact fiends
The deepest lore is that the scent of vanilla brought back Tom's gag reflex
Lmfao
Hearing the words “look at jack howard” in 2021 gave me a nearly-decade-strong whiplash
SWAG
I know your secrets now, Tom.
But do you know why that photo became a shark ???
Man that ad break though!
Hello Jay. I know your secrets too.
They aren't secrets anymore though, get wrekt.
Oh nice to see you here lol
Imagine if Tom put out Muscle School 3 after all these years LOL
Hi
Jelly Jess!
Pretty sure the nostalgia and fan suggestion might actually make this a reality
I'm kind of a fan hearing Tom mentioning kind of racist or questionable things from his past that he both moved on from and actively mocks. It's important, I think, for people who may share those kinds of values, to see that you can change and can educate yourself. As well as people who are in the process of doing that, to see what it looks like.
So thanks Tom.
agree, but the short mentions do sound abit like "oh I was racist". I know he's gone into details on other vids, although people might not have seen them. Just giving the brief overview of what was wrong in the imperial Japanese flag one helped.
Also, it takes away that excuse for people who still like that. Because you dont have to be like that. You can choose not to be.
Tomska posting tumblr black and white posts in his emo phase is an amazing contrast to him nowadays
Is it? He is known for edgy black and white animations, is there really a big difference?
Do you have any idea who is replying to your comment right now? It's the FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE! Me funny (!!!) vids are so extremely funny, if you don't cry tears of laughter, you are allowed to thumb down me XTREMELY FUNNY vids! Do you think me funny (!!!) vids are funny, dear do
@@firuto7970 true, but he’s also known for having a good sense of humour and irony, and not wearing a fedora and being an emo lmao
The pinnacle of anxiety is writing your own callout post and response.
Seriously though, that I Hate Tomska post was probably one of the most sincere things I've seen writen by a youtuber.
It's funny, the "lower" tier things are what I love most! I loved last week/last month & Content. Although I'm happy with whatever content Tom wants to make :)
Last week was such an important time in my life. Man, I can hear the theme in my head
NGL I think I've watched "Juice That Makes Your Head Explode" more now than I've watched any other older TomSka skit combined.
I'd say you're living up to your "older" sketches more and more, my dude
There are some people online who aren't a big fan of sketch comedy. My girlfriend is one of them.
She first became introduced to you when i showed her "Content: The Movie" (i.e. the edited version of the "24 Games in 24 Hours" stream). That shit is the funniest thing you've ever made (imo), and it shows that you've 100% still got it.
Also, internet sketch comedy is - dare i say it - sort of a little old now. It was a thing which was at its prime during the earlier days of UA-cam (2007ish-2014ish), with yourself, Jack and Dean, Chris Kendall, Dan and Phil, and others. Times have changed... not least due to UA-cam's stricter content policies. The reason some of your newer sketches might be struggling to gain the same traction is more because of the internet landscape, not the quality of your work.
Don't overthink your work, and don't stress about it. You're a funny man. Keep doing what you do and we'll all keep giggling like it's 2012 again.
Tom is very naturally funny
I agree with in concept but I'd say there's a bit of common misconception regarding sketch comedy.
I wholehartedly believe that near everyone can love sketch comedy but most of those that claim to not like it have only been exposed to comedic styles or creators that just doesn't suit their tastes.
Claiming as a blanket statement to not like sketch comedy is essentially, in my mind, claiming that people and groups like Monty Python, Tomska, Gus Johnson and the Paul brothers are interchangeable in regards to their creations.
I agree.
holy shit Tomska that ad was on par with Internet Comment Etiquette's, and that's one of the best compliments I could ever give. I love it
Interestingly, I just met someone who goes to the university of Lincoln, and apparently you're still talked about somewhat there. I don't know how you feel about that, but you're still remembered at least 🙂
it’s true! i’ve applied there and all the handbooks they give me have tom in them.
I remember being so offended when I asked a text question on vokle "what's your favorite board game?" and you replied "I can't help but feel like board games are for virgins."
Tom be like: "I'm very lonely. Why didn't you call? Leave me alone."
he really is a very chaotic depressed human being
My first non-asdf-movie video that made me get to know Tomska was the Soldier sketch where they make all sorts of card tricks and gestures
OMG what was it called? Were they ran into the room building legos and playing with toy planes.
@@StitchMikey FOUND IT, it's called "Stupid Soldiers", it's from like 8 years ago
@@deiondrestewart191 I feel old now, holy shit
Watching Last Week and Last Month helped me get through some rough times. Thank you for all you and your teams hard work. You make a difference.
One day Surfshark will finally say no to an ad script. But I feel like they'd have to propose a literal snuff film for that to happen.
Also, I'm only now realising how long I've been subscribed to Tom's channels, and how much of the content I've been privy to over the years. And all the random trivia mentioned in random little bits of videos all over the place. Damn 😅
I think I could guess the kind of thing Surfshark would reject, but I also know Tom would never be OK making such an ad.
This aged well
“Sam kills Christmas a kids book that isn’t for kids” Me who bought the books SPECIFICALLY to read to my kids instead of lying about Santa: “IT IS NOW”
I like the idea that the "hey you thank you for the money" song will extend longer and longer as time goes on as the patrion accrues more and more supporters to the point where it turns into 10 minute prog epic with an intense half time breakdown and some weeeiiiirrrd shit.
2011-ish, A old friend of mine at the time, introduced me to your content / sketches outside of ASDF, videos like "Needles" would have us laughing for hours. I vividly remember seeing the video where your laptop got stollen, I don't remember why at all, but for some reason I took that as being "the end" of you, on UA-cam. Fast forward to like, 2019-ish, I was with a new friend, and I was showing them some of my favorite "old" UA-cam Videos. We watched a bunch of old sketches of yours that I could remember.
At some point I'd said: "Yeah, this guy was hilarious, it's too bad he doesn't post content anymore, kinda miss him"
My friend gives me a confused look, and points to the suggested feed of the screen, "What's that?" He says. I look over and see a video, "Tomska - Posted 7 hours ago"
"Oh shit, he's back!" I think to myself, we watch the video and have a blast. We than go to your UA-cam page (as I was searching videos off of memory,) and damn did I feel like a fool. We spent the whole night watching your sketches, even found "DarkSquidge," and watched hours of that.
Since than, I think I'm just about caught up now, and am familiar with the majority chunk of this Iceberg~
Thanks for the years of #CONTENT!
The Tom Ska lore is deep and actually pretty interesting there was a lot that I knew and some I had no idea about at all.
TOMSKA : "i was lonely. why didnt you call me?"
also TOMSKA : "only a dozen ppl watching me and i like it that way. leave me alone".
XD
I do genuinely want to know the forbidden fun fact about 'Beard'. Now I know I must buy you a drink to learn.
I'm so glad Surfshark likes you. Like maybe one day another sponsor will let you be that psychotic, but I'm glad you have them now.
"Prior to contrary belief"
Love ya Tom
I was just about to comment this (it's at 6:26) genuinely thought my brain was farting when I heard that
i had to pause the video and think for a good two minutes about what he was trying to say
every now and then I find myself in a tomska rabbit hole when I watch an old video for nostalgia's sake and get ushered along a long line of funny old videos I can always rely on so thanks man
For the record, I freaking LOVED Katatak and I'm still sad its gone. I was looking forward to that princess with a sword game too.
At least the Katatak soundtrack survived.
Thank god for that!
and the entire game got archived on the internet archive too from what i've seen
I love how Tom is like yea it’s a bit unfortunate that these productions have transcended my name and identity…but I don’t really care, because I have ads enabled 😄
I had one of the bobbleheads from the TomSka boxes that were sold years ago and I accidentally knocked it off of my drawer and it's head just broke off. I still have the mine turtle plush from the box though, and he's also been in a last week episode with me
I confirm as a french, "Le Alien" is my first video of you and still one of my favorite on Internet
That was a very Rik Mayall "Bastard" from Eddie at 4:14
Well spotted!
Oh jeez, getting down into the nether-berg was a real big nostalgia trip lol, I'd completely forgotten that I randomly stumbled upon your Pwn01 channel aaaaaaaages ago, not long after I'd become a fan of your content (like, we're talking Le Pretentious Filme era iirc).
Also, I'd just like to say that "Actimel's nutritious, nutritious and delicious, buy actimel" has run through my head AT LEAST once a month completely unprompted for over a decade now, and I'm not sure if I'll ever fully know how to properly thank and/or forgive you for that
I was waiting for you to bring up SheezyArt lmao. It’s where I found you initially and where my content creator career started
I feel like the cut contents In the descriptions of some episodes deserve a shout out because I was very happy to find them
I just noticed that Tomska never mentioned the parody animation that the Korean NSFW animator Minus8 made of Beep Beep I'm A Sheep. The animation isn't exactly NSFW but it does have many s3xu4l elements, alongside references to other things like Um Jammer Lammy and Shaun The Sheep.
My best guess is that either he doesn't know about it or that he didn't included it because it isn't made by him (Even if it is a parody of something he made).
I think I've always kinda been in the less known to obscure regions. I ran into your work in late high school when I think you were in university. I thought (and still do) a lot of those old sketches and Lincoln adverts videos were funny, but enjoyed the real look into you and your friends' lives through stuff like the Day Out series (the first four still give me some of the biggest nostalgia trips to this day to the point where they've almost brought me to tears). Hell, I think I rewatched Bing and Spamcat two weeks ago. You, your past friends, and your current friends have been an enjoyable part of my life. Hell, one of your Day Out videos had a song by Pixelsaur. My dinosaur icon was his picture at that time, and I've used it on every account I've ever made on every platform! I'd love to grab a beer someday if I make it over to the UK and chat. I'll keep the fanboying to a minimum. :D
Love it when Tom puts stuff like “mario x luigi” in the ads.
Actually the bodily malfunction story is in an older TomSka video.
I won't reveal which to respect Tom's privacy, but it's important for him to know
Is it wrong that I know around 85% of this info. Mainly because I've been watching Tom for a decade.
It's amazing the stuff that is considered old and unpopular here because I came across your channel in 2008 and saw them as they were first released.
Tbh both of your channels are the only channels I've followed consistently for most of my life haha
Didn't realise i was a Tomska superfan, but then again i have been subbed for a decade.
I love that the actual surfshark ad voice was in one the joke thats amazing
This is the only channel where the ads are worth watching lmao.
I love how lesser known things from 2000's are why i started watching you and probably won't quit. Cuz you're good and you're you.
4:14 "bastard" is easily my favourite swear, especially when shouted like this
Eddie works so hard editing all these videos, well done
Eddie's acting in the sponsored skits they do is highly underrated, he has made me laugh out loud multiple times
When I went MCM a couple years ago Tom told the story about the beard sketch... does that mean im a dangerous fan?
Needles was such a gem.
so was that ad read holy fuck
Thanks Tom and friends! Your deep dive of yourself was exactly the early Christmas gift I didn't know I needed!
The Hole remains one of my favorite skits of all time.
The fact that there were only 5 things in that list, that i hadn't heard about makes me feel really really really weird about myself.
Seriously... i have intense and very mixed feelings about that fact...
Something tells me that it's not good to know this much about someone who i'll never meet in person...
I like horizontally challenged tom
sam kills christmas being THAT far down is bonkers
I was very surprised how low I went on the iceberg. Definitely happy how long I've been following this guy.
Before 2022, I had seen exactly two videos that were in any way related to Tomska. The live action bit about the soldiers arguing while trying to keep quiet. And the "beep beep I'm a sheep" song. ...Then I somehow came across a link to his stuff earlier this month and have been binge watching the videos and realizing that I recognize several of the people who show up on the videos or are voicing characters in cartoon bits.
I found your channel back when The Fine Bros made a kids react to asdfmovie video. I think that was like asdfmovie 3 and I'm still here.
I just wanna drop a nice comment for you and show my appreciation for the joy you provided me during my teenage years. Now I'm an adult and you are still doing that, with Eddie and Elliot. Thank you Tom! I wish you the best!
Dude SAME!!!!
Pissing Vanilla Ice Cream is safely on multiple of my hard drives and I'm never letting it die.
While he may feel shame about alot of this stuff it really shows how much a single person can grow. Kinda inspiring in a weird way.
The fact that the Horrible Bodily Malfunction story makes you wary we may wear your skin implies you are scared of ALL us Patrons. I will use this power for great evil.
I didn’t know I wanted this.
Nobody knew they did.
But it was something we all needed.
I was presenting a show at mcm a few years ago that you were at and I really wanted to interview you, but was so intimidated because I've been a fan for years. Since watching this channel it's been such a huge regret of mine (not even approaching you) because I've now realised how down to earth you are compared to most. I also found out not long after that I have depression, so I've related a lot to your content on that. It really means a lot that you've been open and honest about it. It's encouraged me to do likewise. I really hope that one day in the future I'll have the courage to approach you at a con, just to thank you.
I’m gonna miss Tom’s car
"always an answer" will forever be my favourite TomSka joke
Having been an avid follower of Tom as a creator for god knows how many years now I was almost a bit scared where I would end up on the shit-dude-you-should-not-know-this-much-about-someone-you-don't-know scale but looks like I at least don't qualify as a creepy potential murder stalker. A fair few moments that went me go "Oh, right, that happened didn't it?" but almost more where I went "Pfft, it was THAT long ago.. right?"
As an owner of Sam kills Christmas was such a jumpscare here
Sorry if this sounds nitpicky, but I noticed that you didn't mention that you voiced a character in "Dick Figures: The Movie". I was exited that you were going to explain how you were in the film.
He also voiced a character in episode 39 of Dick Figures 🗣🗣🗣🗣
3:45 Eliot sounds like a car who won‘t start.
This is so fun, thank you for the new content!! So excited to watch :D
Its just something else knowing i could win a tomska trivia night
It's so nice to see you again Tom!
Sam kills Christmas is criminally underrated tbh. Its a good book!!
I think The Muffin Song has more views than ASDFmovie because we kept listening it on a loop for the last 2 years
Oh shit, I still have that Zack comic. I found it literally the other day when I was clearing out my bookcase. I think you signed it. I also recall messaging you on UA-cam with a review of it... along with a bunch of other stuff which to this day I regret...
I also have an unsigned copy I believe. Maybe I'll bring it along to the next MCM and you can sign it again :B
Toska has a iceberg?
Never knew that

my favourite group. Toska elot and edi

I actually watch this channel more than your main channel, I just find it very funny when you do stuff with your friends, and it is very interesting when you do stuff like this
The only thing I would say got missed was when a bunch of terfs on twitter got mad at you for making the "I like Trans" shirt and how you had a sword in the picture.
This is might be my fav ad I have ever seen lol
imagine if Tom or somebody made a one direction 'history' parody.
OR
a 'blurry face' parody. or simply some kind of tribute video like people have been doing with TV shows eg Doctor who and Peaky blinders and loads of other shows.
A couple years ago I was in a digital it class in school and we were shown asdf movie as insperation for the animations we were about to make. A few years later I found your channel and thought he this guy has a good sence of humor and then realised the connection between you and asdf movie. Incredible.
Tom, you should stop making videos that make my adhd want to watch the older videos now and forget to finish this one.
The algorithm doesn't like that :D
Jokes aside, great video ^^
Thank you Tom for being an amazing, inspiring, and wonderful person. I hope you and the crew are doing well.❤️🍻
I have a Tomska bobble head, from when I met you back in January 2020. Best time of my life, thanks Tom.
Cool
lol i actually knew most of this stuff surprisingly from when i first found your stuff
gotta say im a big fan. watched last week every week, i'm watching new content videos and rewatching content videos all the time. have watched basically all of your tomska videos more than twice. xx
The only iceberg that will truly matter.
Something that freaks me out about this video is that I had a dream that looked eerily similar to the Space Bar image that pops up when Tomska mentions it.
I have never heard of Space Bar until this video came up.
Edit: timestamp's at 14:57 btw thanks for reminding me
Can you put a timestamp on where the space bar image is?
13:06 he wasn’t woke y’all 😔
why does this always happen 😔
That ad break was the best ad break I've ever witnessed
#content is a British man having fun with the lads
