For newcomers to the channel: Matt and I go way back, but we haven't made joint videos in years. So as a special one-off: we went on a Rude Trip.
Hi
Wait you found a way to time travel 1 day back??
Genuinely love you guys. You are a vibe.
Btw love your content, Tom
^it was an unlisted video.
love how every other Tom Scott Plus video is like "Tom overcomes a lifelong fear", "Tom learns a skill he forgot", "Tom flies a plane blind" and then this one is "Tom and his old uni mate sit in a car and make knob gags."
And frankly, I would expect nothing less.
Or smutty innuendos and puns
Yet somehow, this is the best.
Ahh is that how they met! Thanks!
I think of it like "Tom's video style meshes with another RUclipsr's video style for an episode" and that sorta works to include this one. Tom + someone else = something highlighting that someone else's work. Tom + Matt = a standard-issue 'Matt and Tom' hangout session.
uni? feels like middle school (us grades 6ish-8ish) XD;.
This was surprisingly good fun!
For those of you in the comments lamenting the lack of Matt and Tom content, we still make videos together as part of The Technical Difficulties, and I have a RUclips channel with my own content too!
We watch all this but will keep up lamenting anyways ;)
But you two have the most awesome chemistry. It’s like you’re actually best friends 😂
Crap, I didn't know Tech Diff had a RUclips channel! Subbed.
I do love seeing content with you on your own and with the TechDiff folk, but it's just not the same when you aren't seated on a park bench. I shall lament the loss of the park bench.
I can't be the only one that misses the Park Bench though Matt!
This felt like a strange love letter to older fans because seeing Matt and Tom together just giggling after a while, it’s just great.
E
Reminds me of their trip to Bro forever ago.
its no drums and cymbals falling down a cliff, but itll do.
No park benches or eclipse geoguesses, but still charming.
Now what we all need is a 2022 mix of "We flew a kite in a public place"
Honestly, my one wish for this channel was ‘Tom does something nice for himself’ and his utter delight to be in the presence of owls has justified the entire channel.
Have you seen his adventure on the Technical Difficulties channel yet? He gets to do something he's wanted to do since he was a child.
It was so, so wholesome 😭💕
E
The only thing missing would be, if one of them was named "Former UN Secretary Ban Ki-Moon"
It was a real hoot.
Just seeing Matt and Tom together in a video sparks some memories in my head
and makes the "We flew a kite in a public place" song stick to my head again...
We flew a kite in a puuuu-[video cut]
I can’t wait for their follow up album featuring “We flew bread to the edge of space.”
@@DestructivelyPhased yaaaaaa
GOD DAMMIT NOT AGAIN I THOUGHT I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT
I read that with the tune in my head
These two guys have great chemistry, they should make a channel with videos at a regular stationary location like a park bench or something
E
if they had a couple more friends they could play games together!
They blew one up specifically because they got tired of that.
@@ramppappia That's a great idea! They seem quite interested in the aesthetics of computers and broadcasting, maybe they should call it something along the lines of 'The Technical Difficulties'? I dunno, just an idea
@@thinkublu They could guess play a game where the guess a wikipedia article. Still just an idea
“Matt and Tom’s Viaduct Tier List” is a video I didn’t know I needed, but if that’s a B+ viaduct I absolutely want to see the full scale
that would be a fun side project!
These two are among the very few people who could pull off the "viaduct" section without it coming off as sarcastic.
They are simply quite delighted by a lovely viaduct.
I mean - it is a good viaduct!
@@hebl47 B+, I heard! 😂
@@itsafunnyoldworld I think it is a clear B. The metal part looks nice, but it changes material, seemingly without rhyme or reason 5:58
why NOT a duck?
Love how they came back from lunch and Matt had an unexplained party hat.
It's so on brand for Matt I didn't even questioned it.
yes
No explanation needed. It's Matt.
It gives me so much joy that they never explained that
I was like "of course he's got a party hat now"
Love to see Tom Scott says "hello" to animals with the exact same cadence that I also politely say hello to animals
Tom and Matt jumping at every phone call was genuinely hysterical
And dangerous
Someone should make an edit of just the phone call jumps!
Cracked me up every time!
Tom's earnest appreciation of the viaduct is a delight
Honest B+
Does "viaduct" mean something different in British English? I was under the impression that a viaduct is a location where the road dips downwards to pass under something, but it didn't really look like that was going on
@@rubegoldbergguy9909 It's a bridge that crosses something else than a river / body of water. Railway over road, road over road, narrowboat canal over railway, and so on.
But important, where was/is it?
@@jiversteve Roughly near Oxted in Surrey , on the A25 from memory. One of the higher rail crossings of the North Downs by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway.
I've enjoyed Matt and Tom since that face, in that clip, in that video. I still rewatch the apology video when I want a laugh.
oh right, thanks for reminding me, I'll go watch sometime again
Link to the video?
@@godtiermtg The video is called "A Park Bench Public Apology"
@@janeweber8654 Watch the "what's in our bag 2019" or something. It got a bright border in the thumbnail as one of the only ones.
Honestly it's all gold, just go watch the playlist
"Matt Gets In A Giggle Loop For Two Solid Minutes"
For those curious Pratt's Bottom is named that for the Valley and for the Pratt family that used to be the ruling nobles of the area, and Balls Cross apparently has something to do with there being a lot of Golf in the area.
so pratt's bottom is a noble valley, gotcha
I feel like Matt stuck to the spirit of the assignment more faithfully, but I can't complain with getting to watch Tom hold an owl.
I mean he did hold a pair of hooters so for me it checks out.
I can't wait for "I am holding an owl" to be in the next compilation of Tom announcing where he is and what he is doing.
Yes, there is a 100% chance that'll end up in a compilation. It's funny how, even without a script, Tom ends up with the same speech patterns.
Also "I am currently in southern Switzerland"
But is it Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon?
I adore the fact that Tom specifically asks for "soaring, anthemic, hopeful" music, and when Matt switches on the tune, the captions also specifically state it as "soaring anthemic hopeful music." Between this and the "Trying Hot Ones" video, it seems to me that Tom has the best caption team on RUclips - clear and concise, but with a keen sense of humor.
I usually use captions all the time when watching TV/Netflix/Hulu/etc but I stopped with RUclips captions a few years ago because so many people either didn't have them or used auto-generated ones which aren't the best (though a few times I've used them to understand a word I couldn't quite catch)
I cannot overstate how much I enjoy captions like Tom's and, if more people had this kind of quality, I'd happily switch back to using captions.
Not that that impacts anything, in the grand scheme. I'm not Hard of Hearing, I just enjoy having captions when I need to listen at quieter levels or, and especially, if they're detailed with other sounds included like "[Laughs wickedly]" or things like what you mentioned, with the music and Tom's agony-sounds haha!
E
@@Kitteh.B this is the great thing about accessability options, they just make things better.
And of course, putting "soaring anthemic hopeful music" is perfectly within the type of comedy acceptable from the captionist. Perfect example of making a great joke without actually telling a joke or inserting editorialism into the caption.
check out the captions on Hames Joffman's channel. He does "unhelpful cuts" of James Hoffman videos, and the captions are also hilarious.
Thank you Tom, for alerting me to the presence of a birds of prey centre in my hometown which I hadn’t heard about in almost 23 years
I love how your channel picture is a bird of prey. Did you visit and then edited it or are you a bird person?
@@thomasvanwely The bird of prey picture is from London Zoo in 2013, it’s always been my google profile picture. I *did* go to the bird of prey centre a few weeks ago but I wouldn’t say I’m a bird person.
8:30 Toms joke and then Matts astounding laughter is amazing. "It's funny because both of those mean boobs!"
The fact that Tom Scott is such an intelligent and articulate person that devolves into laughter at "Titsey viewpoint" is the best fact that i didnt know that i needed to know
Deep inside all of us is an eleven year old schoolboy desperately trying to escape.
E
I love that a silly road trip with Matt and Tom is not on the channel literally called "Matt and Tom"
Matt and Tom is a dead archive-only channel now. The Technical Difficulties have their own channel and any other video of Matt and Tom doing something together will apparently just go on Tom Scott Plus as well.
@@hammerth1421 well it still feels illegal
@@hammerth1421 I mean, TOTPAL wasn't long enough ago that I'd say 'archived'.... yet
@@diarya5573 Oh the group is still doing stuff, just not on that channel.
@@OrigamiMarie No I know that but it just hit me that TOTPAL ended 10 months ago, it feels like 3 or 4!
Seeing Matt and Tom together, simply being Matt and Tom is just what I needed today
E
“Which table do you want” “The one the camera is pointing at”
Classic Matt hilarity!
I can imagine Matt and Scott just stupidly chuckling in the car, occationally saying ”bottom” or ”balls” before continuing to chuckle for the whole trip
I'm imagining them laughing like Beavis and Butthead. Heh. Hehhehheh.
It's so great to see Matt back. Feels like the good ol' days.
This is exactly the high class, mature, analytical, quality content I have come to expect from this channel.
I've missed Matt & Tom hanging out & being funny together. I love how much chemistry their friendship has :>
I am continuously heartened by the commitment Tom puts into his running gags by hiding yet another rickroll in the sponsor read.
Where?
@@tastygold I suspect it's the Italian phrase he says is "never gonna give you up".
Yep, "Non ti abbandonerò mai" = "Never gonna give you up"
Goodness this is a blast to the past. Nothing like Matt and Tom randomly giggling at stuff.
Love Matt’s unexplained birthday/dunce hat at 9:45 😂
My mum grew up in the village over from Pratt's Bottom, suffice to say I think the kids at the local school who were from Pratt's Bottom were given quite a bit of grief for it.
For those who don’t know, they flew a kite in a public place
they flew a kite in a puuubliiic place......
@@advanceringnewholder
We flew a kite in a public place
We flew a kite in a puuubliiic place
Hooligans, shoulda been arrested for that :)
I’ll count this as an honorary Park Bench episode! Love these two interacting sooo much
What is a car but an unparked bench?...
@@CaptLoquaLacon It's just a bench that hasn't stopped yet
I'll admit I was hoping they where going to find a bench at balls cross.
they're in a moving bench, going to a park
I just love how relaxed both Tom amd Matt are and how obviously in sync they are.
As someone with a passion for birds of prey, seeing Tom and Matt just being happy holding owls and a falcon is just so cool. It's an awesome experience to have.
Matt and Tom continually getting jump scared by the phone ringing is too funny
Couldn't they adjust the volume? Or did they just think it was funny to have it startle them every time?
@@myladycasagrande863 my car has Bluetooth phone calling and no the ringing volume is super loud I haven’t figured out if it can be lowered
@@myladycasagrande863 All bets are off when it comes to a rental car.
I just imagined them swerving across the road every time the phone rang and the production crew looking back from the car in front laughing at them.
When I was at college, the music rehearsal rooms were on the 7th floor of an old tower block that had been converted. I was up there one day and happened to see a Peregrine Falcon outside on a ledge, surveying the area. All that was separating me from the bird was a reinforced pane of glass. So I sat down on the floor and watched it in awe for a full 10 minutes. It was a foot away from me and is something I'll never forget.
I grew up at the top of a cliff. One hot day with a light breeze I went out there to enjoy the view, and a swift decided to come say hello. Just hovering on a thermal at about ankle level checking me out, like you said maybe a foot away. I've found they and other agile flyers are absolutely fearless around me, I assume because they know that even if they're a foot away they're maneuverable enough to not get grabbed.
I think you were blessed by some kind of woodland spirit.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Well I certainly look like I've just crawled out of the woods...
They're so lovely and i got so excited when Hades showed up
After all of Tom's wild, exotic, daredevil adventures of late, this was a delightful breath of fresh air. I do miss the Park Bench.
8:31 may be the funniest part of the whole video. its nice to have a not very planned or researched but loads of fun trip once in a while.
The chemistry between these two is genuine and it is great.
This is just two old friends inviting us along on their silly road trip, and I love it.
they have an entire channel of themselves
I forgot how much these two bounce off each other.
Props to Tom for having rickrolled us not only in Dutch, but also in Italian now
When did he rickroll us in Dutch?
@@captainnurbles9169 As Alecsa Copeland correctly stated, he rickrolled us in the video about the Dutch flower auction clock on the main channel
E
Erm, in Italian?
@@EEEEEEEE well okay then
Peregrine falcon.
Casually holds the fastest known animal on earth.
I thought the owls was just a setup for "we're going to see a great pair of hooters" but they never made that joke.
I have never clicked on a video faster. Matt is back! The dynamic the two of you have is so bizarrely soothing.
They contrast each other.
They enjoy each other
I would like to congratulate Mr. Gray and Mr. Scott for their completion on an amazingly hard route. You now know all the nooks and crannies of the route. I commend your actions and would like to give both gentlemen a title, "Sir Underdrawers".
This is making me insanely happy and I'm only 2 minutes in.
It's realky precious to see the two of you still be able to amuse yourself - and your audience!! - by simply sitting in a car, talking... Your friendship is honestly inspiring.
I loved the lighthearted and childish nature of this trip, and the entire time I kept thinking your energy felt familiar. Then I remembered 'Two Drums and a Cymbal Fall off a Cliff'
"Oh! You are beautiful!" "Oh thanks, what about the bird?" Legendary lmaoo
I live near Balls Falls in Ontario, Canada, you get there partially via Effingham Road, which runs between Bacon Lane and Pancake Lane
I appreciate you giving all the birds a lower third.
Also I wonder how many times the Balls Cross sign has been stolen.
For our 30ths (which were in 2020 but we actually finally got to do it this year) me and my best mate went on a rude road trip to 30 of the rudest place names we could find around Yorkshire and the Midlands. Faves were Fanny Hands Lane, Butt Hole Lane (which was a no through road!) and, of course, Tickle Cock Bridge 😁
We were, however, really sad to discover that Basic Slag Road is INSIDE the British steelworks enormous compound. Which, yes, makes sense, but really disappointing we couldn't cross it off the list!
We also had a Cock Inn, as well as a Blue Ball and The Bell, which was located at Bell End
We’ve needed some more Park Bench for so long. This Rude Trip almost makes up for the absence. It’s always fun to see these two goofing off.
E
Seeing the classic banter between Matt and Tom is fun, it's so easy to see how these guys are long-time, solid friends
Tom is so genuinely delighted to be holding Sorrel. :D
I do appreciate Tom's habit of naming animal's species as if it's their profession 13:19
It's like when the BBC had a dog on and they put a header that said "dog."
I like how this channel always allows for the special guest to do what they are best at!
It really works well, a combination of Tom being a great presenter and up for anything plus really enabling the guests to shine!
Also the channel's format is not bound to anything. It is highly unscripted and Tom can simply be Tom.
Matterialising rude jokes!
Your observation was way funnier than my attempt at a pun
I'm not sure whether Matt should take this as a compliment or an insult.
I fell asleep watching a different video, woke up in time for the viaduct, snickered at the title, and thoroughly enjoyed the rest. Really appreciated the peregrine falcon, too. I've loved those birds since I read My Side of the Mountain as a kid.
Love that the birds had their own guest banner nameplate thingy. They deserve it
It's really quite the nice coincidence that "superbowl" is also "superb owl" because of all the birds to be superb, owls are probably the most. Classy buggers. Absolutely superb.
As someone who lives in the general vicinity of Balls Cross, I drive by very often and seldom manage to keep giggles in, even after being here 15 years. It was fun seeing you in my neck of the woods. It would’ve been interesting to have seen you extend your journey about 15 minutes SW of Balls Cross, to a place called Cocking. Its 11th Century church had no (recorded?) dedication until 2011, and there are an abandoned 19th Century iron foundry and Cocking Line Works, the site of which isn’t hugely interesting but is called The Butts…! Great video, Tom and Matt 😁
If only they'd known this in advance!
@@ragnkja indeed! Comedic name *and* historical interest 😁 to be fair to them both, not only is Balls Cross a funnier more clickable name, they’d already done over an hour of driving as well as all the other pit stops between, so adding at least another half an hour probably wasn’t worth it.
[giggle]
Alternative title: A single new episode of Park Bench in a Car, occasionally jump-scared by a phone
14:55 I don't know why but the moment I saw that I just immediately thought of Rengoku Kyojuro and now I can't unsee it.
Damn. This Matt Gray guy is pretty great, Tom should do some more videos with him.
He used to, but then they got tired of sitting on park benches in all sorts of weather so they stopped.
(I honestly can't tell if either of you guys above are joking 😃)
They are a very wholesome duo
they should start a channel together!
@@jonavandenbrand2011
Another?
Must have been nice to make a video with Matt, despite all the Technical Difficulties
15:02 HAHA well played :)
Worth it for the birds of prey meeting. They're the closest we can get to divinity in this dimension.
You can tell they've been best friends for a long time, and it's amazing to watch
It makes me so happy these two are back!
As for whether Tom's choice fit the theme, I kept waiting for them to joke about giving each other "the bird."
Well he did get them to see a pair of hooters
It's honestly a lot of fun to see Tom and Matt do some silly stuff and have a bit of fun. It's quite wholesome in a way and more down-to-earth than other Tom Scott plus videos. I like it.
Living near Pratt's Bottom, I think it's to do with the Pratt family that lived here, and Bottom meaning valley as it's at a lower point in the area! (With the A21 running past)
How dare you attempt to bring logic into this wholesome trip of two great friends?
Or perhaps one of the members of the Pratt family had an incredible derriere that had to be commemorated.
I'm 5 minutes in and Matt's explanation of how lunch works has already made me belly laugh. This is going to be good.
I can't begin to describe how delighted I was that there actually were superb owls in this video. Those owls were great.
8:46 I feel like Tom is underestimating the internet in that sentence. I'm certain there are at least dozens of fans who were disappointed.
14:47
Tom: Hello
Owl: AHHH
"You're gonna watch. Or don't."- Are you kidding? I'd watch a whole series of the two of you driving around places with rude names!
Ok, maybe I wouldn't- there are a lot of towns with rude names, and filming something like that would probably turn tiresome quite fast for everyone involved. What I meant to say is: it's just great to see you both just hanging out and doing something silly:)
Literally only a day before this video came out, myself and my mum were saying how much we missed Park Bench and your easy chemistry. Absolutely delighted to see this, a welcome return and as comfy as ever 😊💕
I have never laughed this much in my life before...
Notice at 7:26 that Tom's eyes look at the dashboard screen right before the loud ring...
tom puts loads of effort and research into his videos, he takes weeks, months, to put out high quality, tightly scripted content.
that said, it's really nice to see somthing semi-spontanious, somthing he's done just for fun and hasn't thought through. im growing to love this channel more than the main one, and i hope you continue having fun tom
Tom should do a video about the science of why Matt's laugh is so infectious
Matt's giggle loop is my go-to video for feeling better instantly
Han is my favorite Tom Scott Cinematic Universe side character
This is a prime example of how entertainment works. I learned a lot. So it is educational, also. It increased my personal wellbeing. Well done!
I would love to see Tom Scott plus the rest of the Tech Dif lads (individually or altogether, down to scheduling I’m sure, and I feel like Chris with Tom would be the most interesting but Gary with Tom would be the funniest)
It would be cool to see what they could do with them being with Tom Scott individually. Apart from Matt Gray, we have only really seen them as a group.
Gotta love some Matt and Tom
I just occured to me how easy it is to meet an owl nowadays. Now i want to do so aswell. Loki was an absoluteöy stunning bird
This entire video felt like a warm hug. ☺️
Now I officially want to see a Matt and Tom cover of the entirety of Hamilton
The idea of two grown men laughing and giggling at rude jokes never got old 😂
E
Possibly the most wholesome video in existence, the definition of friendship goals.
5:55 tom takes out his phone to get a picture, while they have several quality cameras already recording the thing.
It’s almost like there should be a whole separate RUclips channel with Matt and Tom just chatting and messing around….
perhaps even with a theme like, they are always talking at a place that exists in many locations. Like a bench in a park!
It's good to see Matt and Tom together again, they work together like bread and butter
Awesome to see the two of you together again, just being yourself and having fun. This made my day! SHould rewatch some old parkbench episodes after this 🙂
Thank you so much for adding captions to the videos. I appreciate it very much. It helps me tremendously.
You can't imagine how big a smile I have on my face seeing the two of you back together on video!
Time to whip out an old joke
What’s Tom Scott’s favourite colour?
Matte Gray!
I love that they’ve used stock music so much they know exactly which words to use
An amazing video!! The classic Matt and Tom chemistry is here, coupled with an authentic, well-produced roadtrip added onto it.
It's so nice to have a throwback to the Matt and Tom times, and I love that it's (almost) 100% frivolous in the best possible way. It even has a bird interruption!
