I love that what you call jump-cut-o-vision probably still has less jump cuts than the average RUclips video, and you go through the trouble of putting a flash to cover it at least a little.
“Of course I memorized it when I was a kid. I’m a massive nerd.” Me too, Tom. Me too. And I’m sure that, like me, you flaunted that knowledge whenever you could.

Potatoes ARE the most important food of a Sunday roast.The best form of them is golden fluffy roast potatoes. I am very passionate about potatoes as you can see
Firstly, this had me in stitches on the level of Citation Needed. Secondly, this made you two come across more likeable and "common guys" than ever before and I now want to be your friend. More please!
I had to go do some Googling... I swore Matt said "Lee Adama cheese." I couldn't believe a character from Battlestar Galactica had a cheese named after him. Ok, so it's actually Leerdammer. That's close, right?

If they're not roast, it's not a Sunday Roast, but a regular meat, tatters, and two veg that you happen to be having on a Sunday. Roast potatoes are what define a roast as a roast. The other things Tom mentioned are needed, but you can substitute within the category (asides gravy, but that's also optional) without it no longer being a roast.
while potatoes are always included in a Sunday roast in one form or another roasted/boiled/mashed (not chipped that would be weird) the meat and sides are variable so potatoes are the important part
I would highly contest carpets being unnecessary. In an apartment with lots of empty space carpets reduce echo and also decrease the amount of sound your neighbours hear. They also muffle drops and the like.
Interesting that Matt and Tom's opinion on cheese would come out on "National Cheese Lovers Day" ...that's a complete and total coincidence but it's funny regardless
Read them in your native language if possible, though if you're outside Europe the law that requires readable Terms of Service probably doesn't apply to you and any non-European corporations will continue showing you the same kind of wall of text as before.
What was that second word? I’ve heard of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis before but you said that second one a bit fast for me to recognize.
Ok, I got a challenge for you guys: Put floccinaucinihilipilification in google translate, translate it to german, let the translator pronounce the outcome and try not to laugh.
What I love about Tom: He, too, as a child, memorized that disease of the lungs which results from inhaling minute particles of silico-volcanic rock. (Google "black lung", that'll get you close.)
As the video started, I thought about what I would've sent in as a noun. My mind went to "carpets". Then I thought that would be absurd. I proceeded to watch the video. The internet is a strange place.
The Anakin jokes are coming anyway Tom, any mention of sand and there they are. Matt is incredibly lucky not to get that reference too *shudder*. Also this had me in utter stitches at points, should do it more often 😂
Can someone fill this defiant colonial in and what their talking about regarding Partridge? All I can think of is "The Partridge Family" but I dont think that's what they're talking about.
As someone who's had a few drinks before clicking this video, I can tell you that these two have had a few drinks before making this video. fckng hilarious
Tom, I think you'll find that what you saw was Birkenhead and not representative of the rest of the Wirral. I may be slightly biased as I was born there, but it does at the very least have a museum dedicated to soap.
mmm yes pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis... I was once challenged to slip it into regular conversation since i enjoyed spelling it out for people and what not... I did... I had never felt so proud of myself XD to be fair I was 14...
“I’ve Seen An Obelisk and I Liked It” - the follow up single to the hit “We Flew a Kite In A Public Place”

wait, does this album include “How Autotune Works” and “If Educational Videos Were Filmed As Music Videos”?

You can tell Matt's got an engineering degree....

Exactly.
The alternative that i've seen has been either changing the framing or, when it's possible, switching to B-roll.
Tom looking down at Matt after Matt said “it clears everything” was just gold 6:44
You can see his brain working and processing the information in real time.
I like how they say "we've both done fondue" as if it's a drug.
Better than the other meaning of doing.
"Kumquats!"
"I beg your pardon?!"
I can hardly breathe. That was brilliant.
Filmed in jump-cut-o-vision? Is that a supermarionation reference? Jeez, how obscure can you get with these references?
"I've heard of Anglia" I should bloody hope so, you live in it.
“Of course I memorized it when I was a kid. I’m a massive nerd.”
Me too, Tom. Me too. And I’m sure that, like me, you flaunted that knowledge whenever you could.
I must agree with Matt that roast potatoes are the most important component of a Sunday roast.
I’d say I agree with Tom.I don’t think potatoes are that important at all.
There's no reason not to have them. Although i say sweet potato can replace normal English potato in almost any situation
@@zyaicob you are dead wrong, normal potatoes are way more superior
@@Real_Xwisdom you and Tom have never had a decent roast potato! 😞
Matt: Kumquats
Tom: I BEG YOUR PARDON?
I often saw carpets as unnecessary until I had children. They keep the ground warm, so you don't worry about them crawling, and it creates a padding for when they fall over...
Carpets (rugs) are fine. Fully carpeted floors, on the other hand...
Can we have another "Tom rambles/rants about..." episode, like the one about phone numbers, for RSS?
And, by proxy, arsefeed
Sees filmed in jump-cut-o-vision and thinks about many hours they had to cut out 😂😂
That picture of Tom looking at the Wirral in sheer disgust caught me so off guard, absolutely fantastic!
Potatoes ARE the most important food of a Sunday roast.The best form of them is golden fluffy roast potatoes.
I am very passionate about potatoes as you can see
Potatoes are the useless rice copycats.
@@elv3a424 Rice is a flavorless pile of long sand. Mashed Potatoes are the best thing for a barbecue or a roast.
Old post I know, but the best form of potatoes in my opinion is lefse (Norwegian potato based flatbread).
I couldn't rank them higher than the meat, but they're miles above the veg.
Considering the etymology of your name, this doesn't surprise me
That motorbike low key sounded like a cow mooing so that was appropriate.
I'm still waiting for Tom to explain what's bad with the Wirral.
It is the Wirral.
Same here. Yes, everyone in Wallasey has webbed feet, but other than that we could be a lot worse. We could be Scouse for example
I looked it up, the extensive wikipedia article about the Wirral woul probably be of good use, for an episode of citaion needed. ^^
It exists.
fidur2 sadly, the Wirrald may never know the answer.
Firstly, this had me in stitches on the level of Citation Needed. Secondly, this made you two come across more likeable and "common guys" than ever before and I now want to be your friend. More please!
Nah, just let me come to the U.K. and be friends with you. No matter if you make more videos. I'd be satisfied if I can just hang out with you guys.
Memorizing floccinaucinihilipilification really has no value.
Oh nice self reference sir. Well done indeed!
;) Hoping someone would catch it
Could you have ended that sentence without the last 4 words?

This episode also brought to you by Tungsten. “Want every shade of your video to look vaguely yellow? Try Tungsten”.

Spot on.
“I hate the Wirral” is still a stark upgrade on “What's the Wirral?”
Agree with Matt on most of these, except bagpipes, unless they're played by an amatue, then yes they can *bleep* off
Uilleann Pipes, the Irish version are even lovelier to listen to.
Bagpipes just never shut up. That’s the problem
You've got the hair for Anakin Skywalker ;D
That's why he hates sand.
Yeah, not for much longer...! -- Tom
Fortunately Matt has enough epic hair (tm) for both of you. And possibly most of York and London together.
Many years later and I still love the eye movement and facial expression of Tom after Matt said “It clears everything out”.
I had to go do some Googling... I swore Matt said "Lee Adama cheese." I couldn't believe a character from Battlestar Galactica had a cheese named after him. Ok, so it's actually Leerdammer. That's close, right?
Get yourself someone, who looks at you, the way Tom looks at Matt
It’s a great noun, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
I could watch Tom pronounce this all day......
Meanwhile, I think his pronunciation of floccinaucinihilipilification was a bit wrong...
That was my favourite part of the video!!
ciara turner Great noun, horrible way to die!

Potatoes are the most important. They were also my Christmas main. Matt is correct.
Boiled or roasted? If they're boiled, they're _only_ there to soak up the sauce, and are otherwise horrible.
If they're not roast, it's not a Sunday Roast, but a regular meat, tatters, and two veg that you happen to be having on a Sunday. Roast potatoes are what define a roast as a roast. The other things Tom mentioned are needed, but you can substitute within the category (asides gravy, but that's also optional) without it no longer being a roast.
boiled AND roasted. the best of both worlds
Alicja B.
Par-boiled and then roasted? That’ll work.
while potatoes are always included in a Sunday roast in one form or another roasted/boiled/mashed (not chipped that would be weird) the meat and sides are variable so potatoes are the important part
I will FOREVER miss these videos. I just keep rewatching them every few years.
Me too 😔
This could very easily be a repeatable format. And I'd probably like it.
"for Christmas dinner I had potatoes as my main" same Matt same
I would highly contest carpets being unnecessary. In an apartment with lots of empty space carpets reduce echo and also decrease the amount of sound your neighbours hear. They also muffle drops and the like.
wasabi - clears everything - that downward glance.... :-D
Sunday roast? Probably irony and sarcasm, with an edge of satire, and a popculture reference out of nowhere. Spice up with a pinch of memes for taste.
You do know we have tunnels through that river. You can't get rid of us that easily.
Interesting that Matt and Tom's opinion on cheese would come out on "National Cheese Lovers Day"
...that's a complete and total coincidence but it's funny regardless
Diana, Princess and Wales are all nouns. The only part of it that isn't is "of".
Well... technically Diana, Princess of Wales is a proper noun, a noun adjunct, a preposition, and finally a proper noun (adjunct?).
there is a comma in there too :)

For a next quickfire episode. Your opinion on ToS (or Terms of Services)
They're getting more readable in Europe these days.
achu11th They're ToSs.
Lasse Andersen I thought that something that ends with a S doesn’t need a second s for its plural form. I put both in there anyways
Nillie any recommendations for a ToS beginner like me.

A giggly Matt is pleasant
The automatic captions for this one are hilarious.
Feels like this is becoming: "Waldorf and Statler: The early years" So what do you think of The Muppet Show?
That was unexpectedly hilarious! You, sir, win. Hats off to you!
"I've seen an obelisk before and I liked it", is a very nice quote.
the last 20 seconds are so relatable... no wonder I watch Tom's videos all the time
Oh damn, Tom can say floccinaucinihilipilification!
"I've heard of Anglia" said the Englishman
Bagpipes actually sound quite nice... from 2 miles away.
I actually like the sound of bagpipes, it is the sound from bagpipes I have a problem with.
"Kumquats!"
"I beg your pardon?"
all i can tell binge watching these is that Matt really likes crispy potatos
What was that second word? I’ve heard of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis before but you said that second one a bit fast for me to recognize.
Wyatt floccinaucinihilipilification. I don't remember the definition anymore though xD
floccinaucinihilipilification
I want to see those come up on Wheel of Fortune.
The act of estimating something as worthless.
Ok, I got a challenge for you guys:
Put floccinaucinihilipilification in google translate, translate it to german, let the translator pronounce the outcome and try not to laugh.
Loved the bit at the end. Matt just set Tom up for that perfectly
3:05 presumably they cut out a long dicussuon on why Tom shouldn’t have chosen cereal
for a roast, meat is king, vegies are queen, and the duke is potatoes. gravy is the jester, and makes everything better.
I love listening to you two ramble on.
I'm very disappointed by the lack of jump cuts. Please go watch "Hot Fuzz" and come back.
Kumquat is, like, the best fruit ever.
That was surprisingly entertaining, I would watch a bunch more of these. Consider it when you next run out of topics!
How could anyone not see that potato is the whole point of Sunday roast?!?!
Carpets: They're beneath me.
What I love about Tom: He, too, as a child, memorized that
disease of the lungs which results from inhaling minute particles of silico-volcanic rock. (Google "black lung", that'll get you close.)
Time to clip Matt saying "Good Nut" And make a 10 hour version to upload to youtube
I was wondering, how does Tom pick the articles for Citation Needed? I wanna try playing it with my friends and family.
As the video started, I thought about what I would've sent in as a noun. My mind went to "carpets". Then I thought that would be absurd. I proceeded to watch the video. The internet is a strange place.
Matt, on the last opinion bench, you mentioned the series called "Taskmaster"... I'd like to thank you for doing it. It's awesome.
Wait, he did?
I found Taskmaster independently, but I agree, it's awesome.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconeosis is a great word. I also memorized it as a child.
Universities only get the business degrees from the litterbox

You can often hear it being played from the ferries.
Gravy is the most important followed by fats and potatoes.
The order of importance is easiest observed in poutine.
Can I just make the point that all root vegetables in a Sunday roast *must* be roasted and _not_ boiled.
It depends, sadly most people i know boile their vegetables to long, resulting in an undesireable, mushy texture.
This was amazing and please do more
