Hi Gary, speaking as the one person who enjoyed the ASDIC joke, I thank you for your service 🙌💪😂. And speaking for I suspect most of your audience (maybe more), you four together are really something. I don't know what, but definitely something. And that's something to be proud of 🙏
The “Tragedy” parody I’ll always remember is one from someone when I was at school who sang: “Tragedy! When you need a poo and it won’t come through, it’s Tragedy!” I have no idea why that’s been stuck in my head for so many years - probably because “haha, poo funny” 😂
Having only been familiar with one version of Tom for years, and then stumbling into this unprompted, is incredible. I highly recommend everyone have my exact set of memories and experiences, except the bad ones, which are unrelated to Tom Scott so far but that could always change.
well, there's a whole lot more where this came from. Between Citation Needed, Two Of These People Are Lying, the original Reverse Trivia podcast, and a bunch of misc vids between and since, there's a good few hours of hilarity.

Also, if I had the biscuit authority, I'd give them to Matt for the Microwave Coven at 2:41.

Seconding the biscuits.
Seconded. I'm going to build a TTRPG short adventure around that now.

11:53 - My complaint with this is it isn't long enough...Need an hour atleast with this razor sharp repartee & gags about microwaves....
'Terrible short video posts' is the best description of TikTok I've heard in a long while
