I think the muffin cried at the end because Tomska played with the idea of leaving asdf, including muffin, behind. And I think the sheep was a reminder that even if Tomska himself felt the delivery of the joke butchered, the massive success with (and love from) his fans is still untouched, encouraging him to move forward and evolve as a person, entertainer and... ... ... ... animator.
the muffin cried because of that since in the lyric: cartoons live forever, then the muffin would never die, causing him to reluctantly live in a decaying oblivion called the asdf movie.
Thanks for this, I was wondering why I kept rewatching Muffin song, and this has made me realize it's because I can relate to TomSka a lot. The way I see it, all his jokes about suicide are because he wants to mock the idea of killing oneself, but at the same time he's having trouble finding the motivation to live. I've felt this before as well. I've never thought about killing myself, but at the same time I've also had moments where life just doesn't feel fulfilling. But I still want to live, which in a way makes it more painful. It's something I still struggle with.
Well i have still Depression...since i was 7 or 8...I don't feel like myself anymore...and now btw i am 14 this jear i'm getting 15...everytime i older i get...i'm getting more...more...and more Depressed...then i'm already am...i am feeling...lonely,empty,drowned...i feel like i am suffering and drowning in my Pain...my heart burns...i am dying...I properly should not exist...i should die...i was born...to die...😢😵😔😖😭. I wanna jump from the roof...I wanna drown...
Nice shirt plug ;D The only bit you arguably got wrong was that dance move was them hanging themselves rather than drinking. The dab was supposed to be just the muffin preparing the pull the noose, but I totally made it a dab when Tom showed up cos lol.
please wonchop, encourage tom for us, that video is really good, catchy, you did a wonderful job animating it but man... the messages and references.... made me super worried about tom :(
Tom used to be like, a lot happier and less sarcastic before Edd died. the death of his friend impacted him greatly, or so it really *really* seems like it. if you watch Matt (another friend of Edd, if it wasn't obvious) you can see that he is really sad and less happier than usual. in a documentary about Edd, Tom says something about cartoons living forever and how he wished Edd could do something with that idk I watched the video awhile back- anyway I enjoyed this, good video!
It's also worth noting that the "no llama, no" guy is at the asdf table before disappearing. That guy is voiced by Chris Bingham, one of Tom's old RUclips friends who he fell out with over personal drama. So that section isn't just about Edd's death, but about an increasing sense of isolation and bearing more weight on his own shoulders.
I recognized Edd, (mostly because he looked like the I Like Trains Kid) but I don’t know who that who that other person who faded was. I also feel like that person (who looks like The Guy Who Taught a Llama to Drive now that I think about it) might be a big piece of the puzzle. Not just in what the song means about Tom, but also in ASDF lore.
So I already spotted everything before I saw this video but you did a great job explaining every single thing in the entire video and anyone who hasn't seen this video and hasn't seen the symbolism should definitely watch this
I didn't notice this before but at 5:11 if you put the speed really slow and pause the video it says "lol Hamilton". Ironically , I am actually making a Hamilton animation right now :/
Nice interpretation. One thing I really do wish for Tom to do us to move on and make other stuff that will make him happy. However it its difficult since this is his source of income and he needs to keep it going to feed himself and those involved it's the project
I'm really glad that this video was made. I understood what was going on in the video, but this really explained a lot and gives us all a definite answer.
This is my opinon I think the part where it starts to sing with the girl is saying that Tom misses Edd"Even though letting go feels right" He wants to let go of the thought of seeing Edd dead because when he was making one of his latest video on (Dark Squidge)He shows us a drawing saying "I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER THIS " and it shows Edd in a casket so yeah and since Edd and him are in the edds world series there friend ship is always together on the internet just how i interpret it Also the part with him drawing I think that is also representing how he has pressure of having to make a long series of cartoons and people not giving him time to make them or they are rushing him to do so
I still remember the day that video came up on my recommended videos on RUclips, like 6 years ago.... after being an avid fan of Eddsworld.... I'd actually sat there a few days before it came up, like, "gosh it's been a while since Eddsworld had made a video", so I kept rewatching those silly short ones like JunkinoMoe. Then... a few days later... in big letters.... *RIP Edd Gould*... I just stared at it for longer than I can remember.... now, imagine if you were Edd's best friend... Tom was caught entirely off guard with it.... there's a really good Tumblr post he made in response to all the people who kept asking him if "He missed Edd". It really shows you how Tom felt... thetomska.tumblr.com/post/161277123553/do-you-miss-edd
Primaski finally someone else who knows how to write a two or three paragraph comment or reply whenever I try to make my point I always do it super long like you know three or two paragraphs put all of the replies after that just say how they think no one in the world can do that or wow how much time did you take to write that
I thought that it was about both him and the muffin both want to kill themselves Except he cant, too many people truly love and respect him. Though its not what he wants todo forever... ASDF is kinda part of him, and in the end he carries on into the sunset moving away from his desire of death...He has a mission, to continue entertaining, loving, supporting and all around making lives better With the sheep being a more of a shining beacon of ASDF Your thoughts make before sense alongside it however. GG
This was way different than my interpretation which revolved more around how the "real" scene as I've been calling it was focusing on Tom and how he loved doing asdfmovie but the more popular it got and the more fans he had the more people who were the main part in his life leading up to its creation left, like Edd's death and whatnot. When I saw the woman singing I thought the same thing for the most part where it seemed like Tom really wanted to just stop making it but I also got the feeling it was also talking about how the connection he had with people like Edd will always live on cause cartoons live forever then like you said walking into the sunset with the muffin he decides he can do it with the support of others and make it better than before.
I really root for Tom. I got to know him from asdf movie like most of us but since then I learned he is something much more complex. I really enjoy seeing him
I don't know if you noticed and I can't confirme it but I think that in the second or third chorus when "why" and "hi"(just like "pie")transforms into the literal thing (y,high)ment to represent that Tom's sense of humour changed after a while,he even sais that himself in the:"Do I hate asdfmovie?" video.(By the way great video,enjoyed it a lot,keep up the good work!)
Hey, could u analyze "My Ordinary Life" from The Living Tombstone? idk if u do this kind of thing regularly but i've been wanting to analyze that song recently bc i can tell it has a deeper meaning to it
Ya know, at first I wasnt sure about this video on my feed but I was like eeeeh sure why not and I gotta say it really was a lot better than I thought itd be ^^
I had this video recommended to me and you have no idea how many shitty "1 HOUR LONG VERSION OMG" and "MUFFIN SONG REACTION!!"'s I had to trudge through to find this gem
2107th view. btw LOVE THE EXPLANATION! i didnt understand the end where he looks at the sheep and then suddenly runs to the asdfmovie characters, BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND IT!
Ok, that's awesome, HOWEVER! Given that Tomska is with the I Like Trains kid which represents Edd, he's also with the clown, who represents the voice actor of that character, Chris Bingham, showing how Tom has a very bad habit of drifting away or even alienating past and current contacts, as he has shown during various times when commenting on the contents of his TomSka's Day Out videos.
The muffin song is a song about that he's made asdfmovie for so long. He tried too quit, but he just didn't make it. Now he's a happy man making asdfmovie 11.
The muffin song is cursed it once popped in my recommendeds watched it once thought it wasent bad (i actually havent watched the asdf movies before this muffin song i didnt even know its existence) after i watched it in like 3 or 4 days it just doesent stop being in my recommended every video i watch related or not i get recommended this goddamn song im becoming crazy help
i fell like the part of even tough letting go feel right i can aford to say goodbye feel like tom says i want to stop but asdf makes him the most money can i stop and do i want to
I'm even mire depressed now. Listening to the song for the first time, I felt that something was wrong, watching the music video while listening to the song, I knew that something was wrong but now I'm just fucking destroyed lmao. I didn't know a big part of Tom's life since I am french and young, when I was younger I didn't get a single word of this beautiful language that is English, but now that I can understand both the tongue and Tom's problems, and relate to the depression part of it I can feel this kind of sadness mixed with some weird joy and desire of calm and peace. yay ! =)
“in 2013 tom uploaded a video to his second channel called ‘i am depressed’” “this was 13 year old me’s introduction to mental health issues” WHAT THIRTEEN IN 2013 I’M OLD
Tomska's inner thoughts explained by a talking cartoon muffin.
So true
Lol
An excellent interpretation! Really enjoyed this analysis, great work!
A wild Eddie appears! Thanks for the kind words.
William Allman is just a video
Ya ikr
o hey is an eddie
Oh my god it’s eddache

*god fucking dammit*

did you watch tomskas video on the muffin song, he explains this
edd
Wonchop says he did a good analysis (he's one of the animators you can find it in the comment section)

But I still want to live, which in a way makes it more painful. It's something I still struggle with.
OK ARE WE THE SAME PERSON CUZ LIKE I RELATE TO THIS COMMENT ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL
Same thing here.
I relate to this SOOOOOO MUCH
Well i have still Depression...since i was 7 or 8...I don't feel like myself anymore...and now btw i am 14 this jear i'm getting 15...everytime i older i get...i'm getting more...more...and more Depressed...then i'm already am...i am feeling...lonely,empty,drowned...i feel like i am suffering and drowning in my Pain...my heart burns...i am dying...I properly should not exist...i should die...i was born...to die...😢😵😔😖😭. I wanna jump from the roof...I wanna drown...
That's sorta relatable with me, I don't WANT to kill myself, but I also don't want to live.
Nice shirt plug ;D
The only bit you arguably got wrong was that dance move was them hanging themselves rather than drinking. The dab was supposed to be just the muffin preparing the pull the noose, but I totally made it a dab when Tom showed up cos lol.
From the man himself! Yeah, I can see now pulling a noose makes more sense. Whoops. Guess I’m just conditioned to always expect Tom to be drinking.
And dabbing!
MageBurger He animated it,I'm pretty sure he knows what he animated
please wonchop, encourage tom for us, that video is really good, catchy, you did a wonderful job animating it but man... the messages and references.... made me super worried about tom :(
MageBurger the only part Tom had anything on was the ending (he storyboarded it). That's why the asdfmen and asdfwomen have arms in this
Tom used to be like, a lot happier and less sarcastic before Edd died. the death of his friend impacted him greatly, or so it really *really* seems like it. if you watch Matt (another friend of Edd, if it wasn't obvious) you can see that he is really sad and less happier than usual. in a documentary about Edd, Tom says something about cartoons living forever and how he wished Edd could do something with that idk I watched the video awhile back-

Pretty sure it’s Chris Bingham, I talk about that in the description
Thanks.
Faic Legion edd voiced the I like trains kid
So I already spotted everything before I saw this video but you did a great job explaining every single thing in the entire video and anyone who hasn't seen this video and hasn't seen the symbolism should definitely watch this
I wonder if tomska watched this
I didn't notice this before but at 5:11 if you put the speed really slow and pause the video it says "lol Hamilton". Ironically , I am actually making a Hamilton animation right now :/
SunsetAnimations lol I saw
I saw it
Nice interpretation. One thing I really do wish for Tom to do us to move on and make other stuff that will make him happy. However it its difficult since this is his source of income and he needs to keep it going to feed himself and those involved it's the project
Tom, couldn't move on.His friend died and it made him depressed leading to suicidal thoughts.
I'm really glad that this video was made. I understood what was going on in the video, but this really explained a lot and gives us all a definite answer.
Ugh. The part with Edd disappearing gets me every time :(
thats were bad shit started for Tom
Yeah, that's an accurate analysis.
Analyzing?
Why not *Film Theory?*
Oh wait..
Well it technacly a film but sorry for ruining th joke
SONG THEORY
Oh my god!! I'm so happy one of your videos finally blew up! About time you got more recognition!
When Tom picked up the muffin, I thought he was gonna eat it
This is my opinon
I think the part where it starts to sing with the girl is saying that Tom misses Edd"Even though letting go feels right" He wants to let go of the thought of seeing Edd dead because when he was making one of his latest video on (Dark Squidge)He shows us a drawing saying "I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER THIS " and it shows Edd in a casket so yeah and since Edd and him are in the edds world series there friend ship is always together on the internet just how i interpret it
Also the part with him drawing I think that is also representing how he has pressure of having to make a long series of cartoons and people not giving him time to make them or they are rushing him to do so
I'm subscribing to you before youre famous because I know you're upcoming
This is my first video of yours I’ve seen and I like your ideas and creativity of thinking and analysing well done!
Watching this made me want to watch the entire last week series. Good job, this made me so sad.
I agree that the muffin crying is the saddest part...
I cried when it went next to Tom especially when it cried😢😢😢😢😢
Everyone killing themselves with a gun then theres that guy with the trumpet😂
lol
R.I.P Edd😔😔😔

:'''(
CXV animations tHIs Is NOT RELATED TO EDDS DEATH GO AWAy-
reinomatic you talking about what I said about writing two paragraphs
Who know a suicidal muffin video had this kind of meaning
Wow this is deeper than I thought
Wow, I did not realize how emotional that song was supposed to be. I now see...….
I thought that it was about both him and the muffin both want to kill themselves
Except he cant, too many people truly love and respect him. Though its not what he wants todo forever... ASDF is kinda part of him, and in the end he carries on into the sunset moving away from his desire of death...He has a mission, to continue entertaining, loving, supporting and all around making lives better
With the sheep being a more of a shining beacon of ASDF
Your thoughts make before sense alongside it however. GG
Spectrum16 He doesn't have suicidal thoughts.
Sickle not now he dont thankfuly
When I watched/listened for the first time "Muffin song" I thought the same things... it's so... sad.....
Good video man, I very much enjoyed it
Wow - That seems spot on. No idea there was so much to unpack in this song
I did not expected this. Now I have more thoughts about his life.
It's also worth noting that the Llama guy disappears from the stall as well as Edd, symbolising Tom growing distant from Bing
This muffin is somehow more relateable than half of all shows' main characters
I was surprised to see you had less than 1k subscribers!

This made me cry, brilliant analysis
This guy deserves way more subscribers
That’s really the best interpretation of this song I’ve listened so far
I can’t believe I just realized Tomska is Tom from Ed’s world
I now understand the song now! Thank you for clarifying for me. And also, nioce vid (995th subscriber ;) )
"This is a fun, catchy, cartoon song... about suicide."
😂😂😂 It's funny because it's so true!
this was the best analyzing video i've ever seen on RUclips (in my opinion)
4:05 it's a noose, not drinking. You can tell by the neck being stretched.
I think that's a tongue
Roman Ortiz yes, the tongue comes out too
I like the theory
i knew their was fishy about that song! thanks dude also feel better Tomska.
Knowing about his reaction to Beep Beep I’m a Sheep makes that ending 10x funnier xp nice analysis! :3
I really root for Tom. I got to know him from asdf movie like most of us but since then I learned he is something much more complex. I really enjoy seeing him
Wow, i mean...i knew this had something to do with his depression, but i never knew ALL of it. I love this video
Wow, that’s really interesting. Thank you. I had no idea it was this deep.
This is like a life metaphor and this is also art
You give lots of information about stuff and you can tell how much you want to make good content
Well done, really nice work on the video!!
I don't know if you noticed and I can't confirme it but I think that in the second or third chorus when "why" and "hi"(just like "pie")transforms into the literal thing (y,high)ment to represent that Tom's sense of humour changed after a while,he even sais that himself in the:"Do I hate asdfmovie?" video.(By the way great video,enjoyed it a lot,keep up the good work!)
Hey, could u analyze "My Ordinary Life" from The Living Tombstone? idk if u do this kind of thing regularly but i've been wanting to analyze that song recently bc i can tell it has a deeper meaning to it
This is amazing! You picked up on a lot of things I didn't ahaha
Ya know, at first I wasnt sure about this video on my feed but I was like eeeeh sure why not and I gotta say it really was a lot better than I thought itd be ^^
My thoughts exactly thanks for telling everyone this. It really helps that your semi famous it lets everyone know.
Thanks
I had this video recommended to me and you have no idea how many shitty "1 HOUR LONG VERSION OMG" and "MUFFIN SONG REACTION!!"'s I had to trudge through to find this gem
Gosh, this just took on a whole new meaning
Just found this channel love it
this is a really well done and thought out video!
HOW DID THIS VIDEO MAKE ME CRY
DANG IT I KNEW THE MEANING BUT YOU GAVE ME THE FEELS
I saw that as asdfmovie progressed, it got harder for tomska, and he has a lot of pressure coming from his fans.
2107th view. btw LOVE THE EXPLANATION! i didnt understand the end where he looks at the sheep and then suddenly runs to the asdfmovie characters, BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND IT!
Ok, that's awesome, HOWEVER! Given that Tomska is with the I Like Trains kid which represents Edd, he's also with the clown, who represents the voice actor of that character, Chris Bingham, showing how Tom has a very bad habit of drifting away or even alienating past and current contacts, as he has shown during various times when commenting on the contents of his TomSka's Day Out videos.
it's not a "habit", Edd died, Chris had a falling out with Tom, I don't think there's anything he could have done in either of those cases
If it was just Chris, then yeah, but even Tom says that it happened with a lot of people.
Pretty good video, definitely worth a sub
The first time I watched The Muffin Song this is *EXACTLY* what I thought.
You've shot up with subscribers in the past week! Last time I saw your video you were on like 882 subs....
Yeah, it’s weird really
The muffin song is a song about that he's made asdfmovie for so long. He tried too quit, but he just didn't make it. Now he's a happy man making asdfmovie 11.
...damn
*Subscribed* Now you have 1.1k subs and this video has some good explanations
900th Subscriber!
Edit - I Also Made A Comment Like This As Well On The Song. Thanks For The Heart Tho!
*no wonder the muffin song popped up when i searched up The Gregory Brothers to see if theres any for my project on Australian Explorers*
I started crying with the muffin.
1:41 perfect timing
Great Channel I hope you reach 5k by September
Very insightful and well researched
4:18 wait it’s that Tom AWESOME whatever happened to eddsworld anyway it was funny
It ended
Edd died years ago.
Lozah oh wow that sucks I wished he didn’t
The muffin song is cursed it once popped in my recommendeds watched it once thought it wasent bad (i actually havent watched the asdf movies before this muffin song i didnt even know its existence) after i watched it in like 3 or 4 days it just doesent stop being in my recommended every video i watch related or not i get recommended this goddamn song im becoming crazy help
very cute artstyle!!
"It's muffin time, because i wanna die die die."
I take that literally.
This vid makes me proud to share your name!
Really good explanation
Wow... I never knew a happy and somewhat cheerful song has a deeper meaning.
another that might be of note in some way or another, in the first version of the stall with the painted on asdf, the paint bucket cuts off at 'pain'
i fell like the part of even tough letting go feel right i can aford to say goodbye feel like tom says i want to stop but asdf makes him the most money can i stop and do i want to
I watched eddsworkd with my brothers then found asdf movie and didn’t put together that Tom and Tomska were the same person until like 2 years after
I... Am seriously scared that Tom actually wants to.....
"Die,die,die..."
I like he said he tried on asdf movie but I did not expect a hidden message saying MEMEICUS ICECREAMICUS
Di-did you make a hold cideo and made this in a big thing ...... man you got some great power then but good job
I just love the way this guy pronounces "muffin".
I'm not crying. You are crying.
I'm even mire depressed now. Listening to the song for the first time, I felt that something was wrong, watching the music video while listening to the song, I knew that something was wrong but now I'm just fucking destroyed lmao. I didn't know a big part of Tom's life since I am french and young, when I was younger I didn't get a single word of this beautiful language that is English, but now that I can understand both the tongue and Tom's problems, and relate to the depression part of it I can feel this kind of sadness mixed with some weird joy and desire of calm and peace. yay ! =)
“in 2013 tom uploaded a video to his second channel called ‘i am depressed’”
“this was 13 year old me’s introduction to mental health issues” WHAT
THIRTEEN
IN 2013
I’M OLD
Ever watched misteramazing’s video essays? Dude’s even younger than me.
I’m watching tomska work, each time he gets larger, it could mean each time he gets unhealthier
Wow, I can't believe that it's not another "Tom hates asdfmovie" theory
Smililar to my toughts about the video,neat.
