This is a surprisingly profound reference to psychoanalysis in a children's cartoon. That slice of bread in the deepest part of Tom's head is a most unexpected depiction of Lacan's objet petit a.
Kosmos, you know, psychedelics isn't really like all other drugs. If you just use it once in a while, say three times a year, there's absolutely no risk of messing you up. In fact, science has proven that it actually makes our brain build new pathways!
@@erikwallander8240 i saw a man who used that and really he was looking disturbed... Saying like " human created god, its just illusion " Thats was very horrible.
What a terrifying device. Could you imagine what would happen if it really existed? People would actually have to face themselves and their thoughts. They may even, dare I say it, have to question the responsibility of their actions. The world would come to a grinding halt.
Really though? Then, in his head, at the center of everything is his happiness, taking the form of something real and easily definable. He also stops looking. Isn't it strange that there's depth and music builds with abstract thoughts everywhere and he abruptly comes to an end, at bread with strawberry jam and honey?
i find it so sweet how joyful TOM gets when he gets a good idea or a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey. its not that he finds the small joys in life to be sufficient, its that he gets ecstatic for the same thing because he can. beautiful message
This has to be one of my favorite episodes. Doc Box is one of my favorite characters, and the premise is so interesting! In my mind, Tom is autistic like me - he does things the same way over and over, he can be a bit ignorant of other people’s feelings or body language, and he has his own way of solving problems, for the better or worse. For example, in “Tom Walks on Water,” when Minnie and Mona tell him to walk on water to get across the lake to the bread with strawberry jam and honey on the other side, he doesn’t understand their sarcasm. He fails the first few times, but eventually finds a way to cross due to some helpful fish. As an autistic person, I sometimes find that something that encapsulated my entire life doesn’t interest me any more, and I need some time alone to find that passion again. Doc Box seems to be not only a doctor, but a therapist as well (or a psychiatrist, as he “prescribed” Tom a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey). He may have been a bit rude to his friends, but I feel like it was less about him becoming obsessed with looking in his own brain, and more about him needing to process his emotions. I’ve needed to do that a few times. And to everyone saying he “thinks” it’s a great idea, so he isn’t completely empty-minded, I think him being unable to think about nothing at all is more him feeling empty inside, emotionally numb and a little depressed. That can happen when you do the same thing over and over again like he does. But it seems he’s found a new appreciation for his life (and maybe the animators have as well, as this can be a metaphor for creative burn-out as well).
Wow this kinda made me change my view on life. Meaning that the most serious you are the more things you miss out on. This tells me to be chill and life will fall into place.
nah man I think i you were right at first. the strawberry jam honey thing is a common thing on the videos, but I wouldnt cross out the possibility of it being meant that way
If Tom were in my little pony. His Cutie Mark must be a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey. It's not only his center of his universe. It's his total destiny
When you concentrate on your breathing and what's around you, you canhave an empty mind by letting your thoughts going away. That last part is the trickiest but it's worth practicing.
0:08 Plot Twist: Tom Thought of Nothing at all in the Beginning of this episode As Opposed at the End in all others and also in Tom being Silly where 2 goths Say the Lines that the Narrator would Usually Say
This is a surprisingly great Tom episode. Wait a minute, when Tom is first seeing inside his head, he saw all his body parts and then, saw himself (but not as a kid) That means that Tom is seeing "almost" all his life.
Very clever discussion of mind boggling concerns that need only to be shared & pointed in the right direction * fortunate Tom found the best solution but that isn't always how this turns out in life.
Joshu begann mit dem Studium des Zen, als er sechzehn Jahre alt war, und setzte es bis zu seinem achtzigsten Lebensjahr, in welchem er Zen verwirklichte, fort.

Joshu antwortete: "Wirf es hinaus."
Haha Here in Germany "Tom" is in TV! In german of course ;) The craziest is that is in a child tv! sorry for my miserable english but i cannot speak english so good.(: i hope you can understand me :D
If anybody doesn't get this, it's because they haven't experienced it. It's a perfect allegory for what happens when you get high.. and a bit of a cautionary tale too-- the problem with doing it too much.
.... a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey..... so he went on an acid trip to learn he wanted a slice of bread with strawberry jam with honey I could have told him that...
2:42 that is a surprisingly powerful soundtrack for a children's cartoon. regardless of the context filmbilder still shows how beautiful their art is
I agree!
Do you know if I were looking in there I will be like what the what?
I loved that part!
Yes
I just like everytime Tom walks up to the miller and says
*can I have a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey?*
Lolol
wow the center of tom's universe is a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey
LiI (aq) always has
I always have pencils in my head (mind)
Surprise surprise.
Yes
I always have games in my head (mind)
Is nobody going to talk about how good of a series finale this would have made?
you are
It did become a series...
@@bealea1127 they meant the ending to the series
Ohh ok.
Wait this is the episode that is the end? Also why my room smell like watermelon
3:18 when a children cartoon became an epic cartoon with triple A OST
Ikr
unironically so good
Now THIS is the psychedelic stuff we miss!

"Tom thought this was a great idea"
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING
Thought I was the only one who caught that.
THAT LIER
TOM is tripping hard on acid!!

Forget that, Imagine if planet's rings spunn around them like at 3:27 !
2:52 so that's what consciousness looks like
I really love theses cartoons, and I think it's the best episode of the whole serie
A slice of strawberry jam and honey is a metaphor for TOM's happiness :D

The honey represents love, the jam represents beauty, and the bread represents kindess.
Finally I found the channel I was looking for
Tom is high, I know because Name is my tom.
Empty head is good no distractions
Honestly, I think this is the first time he wasn’t focused on his bread with strawberry jam and honey initially.
haha. I love Tom's stories :D
Loved them since 2017 💖
Most people consider haveing an empty mind a state of meditation, not a disease
i find it so sweet how joyful TOM gets when he gets a good idea or a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey. its not that he finds the small joys in life to be sufficient, its that he gets ecstatic for the same thing because he can. beautiful message
I never thought this was so old!
I love how doc box is also partaking in the use of the red device
I also have something like that here, but it is actually green

The music is pretty awesome towards the end
0:00 this intro is so nostalgic for me i remember watching these old videos before i was 5 now i am 8😢
Wow this kinda made me change my view on life. Meaning that the most serious you are the more things you miss out on. This tells me to be chill and life will fall into place.
I just love watching this shows!
1:41 the ring in the middle looks like a donut.
1:41
3:09 The nugget that kiwi takes?
haha probably
*watches the rest of the video and realizes it's honey*
Im deeply depressed again
nah man I think i you were right at first. the strawberry jam honey thing is a common thing on the videos, but I wouldnt cross out the possibility of it being meant that way
But it's honey!!!!!!
If Tom were in my little pony. His Cutie Mark must be a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey. It's not only his center of his universe. It's his total destiny
This is fabulous, what a tale of introspection.
this is literally my childhood (i watched this to cry but i got amazing memories instead)
he couldn't stop thinking about nothing at all.
nothing at all.
nothing at all.
nothing at all.
"Stupid sexy Tom!"
HOW DARE U RUIN MY CHILDHOOD!
im confused how can u be thinking about nothing at all when your thinkin about it.

After this episode I literally all of the Tom series it's so charming help
I loved this series ever since I was 7 years old! Now I'm 11 years old!
Same

"It's all in there. Your whole life"

This is a kid show stop!
@@doodles3669 one pound of cocaine? Thank you very much!

This is a surprisingly great Tom episode. Wait a minute, when Tom is first seeing inside his head, he saw all his body parts and then, saw himself (but not as a kid) That means that Tom is seeing "almost" all his life.
"Can I have a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey?"
- Tom, 2009
Alt title: Tom gets amnesia but he doesn't have that
I thought Tom was gonna have a whole slice!
1:35 Inside
Very clever discussion of mind boggling concerns that need only to be shared & pointed in the right direction * fortunate Tom found the best solution but that isn't always how this turns out in life.
the music gets so hyped at one point and i'm like i love it but then it goes to normal i'm like oh .-.

It's impossible to think about nothing.
This is my favourite episode
OMG!!! Your comment box is on!!! finally
it's just... the cartwheels are kindof silly...
3:23 coolest animation-sound mix ever
3:23
The device that tom is using needs to exist NOW.
im on a crazy trip.
I love this! This channel's arts never let me down, always send such messages as well as chills to my spines!
beautiful!! I think I'll have a slice with blueberry jam and butter instead!
This is a good trip if your high.
Good message too :)
When I get a heroic dragon, this is real footage of my mind
Best Tom to date!...
Wow! The center of TOM’s head is a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey. 3:43
We must go deeper.
Tom was probably tripping from all that bread with strawberry jam and honey
i want a slice of bread with starwberry jam and honey
Fabulous!
I WANT NETFLIX TO BRING THIS BACK
OMG SAME
that was too epic for a cartoon like this xd
i am getting DIZZY
Maybe they filmed this when Tom did not think about bread with jam and honey
Haha
Here in Germany "Tom" is in TV!
In german of course ;)
The craziest is that is in a child tv!
sorry for my miserable english but i cannot speak english so good.(:
i hope you can understand me :D
You have great English.
A slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey so sweet 😥😥
Take mushrooms and you will see the world as Tom
If anybody doesn't get this, it's because they haven't experienced it. It's a perfect allegory for what happens when you get high.. and a bit of a cautionary tale too-- the problem with doing it too much.
My head is completely empty
well now i want a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey :/
Am I the only one here in 2020 watching this
it's a trick they said he he is thinking but they said Tom thought that was a great idea
.... a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey..... so he went on an acid trip to learn he wanted a slice of bread with strawberry jam with honey I could have told him that...
I wish my eye sight was as good as Tom's.
Holy Santa Claus shit, you're right. This entire cartoon is a trip obviously.
Normally I'd be screaming don't listen to the box. Boxes lie. But this time I have to say the box is right on. =)
It's a slice of bread with strawberry jam and honey XD that was he thinking about lololol
I was gonna think it was for kids.
-tom what where in those slices of bread with strawberry jam and honey-

So much Nostalgia...
