this is so awesome! I love Tom Waits! and obviously David does as well... I'm sure Tom would get a real kick out of this.... anyone who's a fan of Tom Waits and freaked out in a negative manner over this, really just doesn't get Tom Waits at all.. this is right up his alley.
@@pashadyne I don’t get it he’s saying this is different then the other people he sued, and it seems like you’re agreeing? Or do you disagree? Yes you can’t sue people for doing impressions that is what he’s saying, and a musical artist using his persona and songs isn’t similar to a comedian doing a bit impersonating you, people will take his songs and lyrics out of context that’s probably what he’s against, the guy didn’t say he isn’t protective of his music, or that him not taking down a comedy bit means he lets anyone do anything with his music, literally the most basic Tom waits fan knows about the cases you’re talking about, they aren’t these deep cuts you’re making them seem like, the guy said tom wouldn’t care about this and would probably find it funny and I agree. Nothing you said implies otherwise and the fact you think there’s anything to “get” is stupid, it sounds like you just wanted an opportunity to shove these lawsuits into the convo to be like “yeah you’re clearly not as big a Tom waits fan as me” when those cases really don’t have any relevance to this comedy act, besides them both involving people referencing Tom waits lmao
So judging by these comments, Tom Waits fans have no sense of humour. So just because a joke involves someone you like, you're forced to declare it the worst thing ever? Is it like a religion or something?
BugPope Tom Waits is pretty much a religion to me. But I thought this is hilarious. Perhaps my fellow Tom Waits devotees, might have been upset because there was no actual Tom Waits in this video. A bit of a let down......
It looks like they're reading this blind, having never seen it before. It's an impromptu impression. You shouldn't expect it to be better than you could do.
Ha! Yes. This is great. Should those math cassettes exist, I'd buy them. I do believe I have an old double deck in my attic storage that I could hook back on and use to play them! :D I don't get other Waits fans who get touchy about stuff like this. I bet Waits himself would get a laugh out of this. And probably make the math cassettes.
@@estevancarlos my record collection is two fifths Tom Waits, but my booze collection is only one fifth of bourbon... that means I gotta come up with three fifths by the next full moon, or I won't be able to keep Tom Waits in the underground!
The Waits-esque background music is hilarious, but the sketch itself is "cute" at best; sort of a "Prairie Home Companion" vibe... they could have been MUCH harsher on old Tom; a missed opportunity in my opinion.
One can't help but wonder what Tom Waits thought of this routine. My guess would be... "There weren't enough Jamaicans, I didn't help him with the air conditioner, and I only used that machine twice. I give it a Sudoku puzzle out of 10."
Wish they made more of a joke about Tom's legal stuff after the first mention. Lost potential. Fyi for anyone tom has had a shit ton of winning legal music battles over his royalties and artist rights. I think he's got the top spot at the moment as the most open court cases of any musician
That's heartbreaking. You're missing out. Imagine the most annoying successful pop artist, with 15 sexy dancers backing them up. Now think of all the costume changes they go through in one concert. Tom Waits is the opposite of that.
The imitation was serviceable, but the music behind him? That is NOT what a tom waits record sounds like. Einsturzende Neubauten maybe, but not Tom Waits.
The music absolutely sounds like Tom Waits, if anything I’d say the synth noise should probably have been a piano but other than that it’s spot on, could have been an intro to anything from Swordfishtrombones or Mule Variations
Eric Engel Good enough to get the point across. Too bad Heath Ledger died before this sketch though. He based his joker voice off of Tom Waits and it was pretty much spot on! Go back and listen
Homer and Shakespeare are gonna fight over who gets to light Tom's lucky strikes in paradise... And... The skits ok. Kinda like when most of the ice melted in a glass of bourbon. You drink it anyway.

as both a huge TomWaits fan and a mathematician, i felt obliged to say "I love this whatever it was!".
Sane here , I have troubles with my exams currently, and I start to believe I understand the Tom waits math better than the actual math...

Tom Waits would have loved this.
I mean, he’s not dead. But if he were…
you gotta admit though, that whole "what time does the train from purgatory pull in" problem was great

He's sued commercials for using his persona not other artists. He'd probably find this amusing or just wouldn't care at all

two of them speak mandarin, the other has a knife... 😆
which song is that from again?
@@jv-lk7bc Pretty sure it's on Raindogs.
This is making me want to listen to more Tom Waits.
It's making me want to learn more math!
"Is this legal?"
"Hahaha... OK."
I so want this to be a real thing.
it is, Virginia. its as real as the smell of the cigarette butts in the conductor's coat when he punched your ticket to purgatory..
I would totally buy those cassettes
Yea but I’m holding out for the 8-tracks!
Oh how I'd love to see a Tom Waits reaction to this
you can read the subpoena-- he actually swears a lot in it
If X = 6, and Y = depressing rain, then how many liters of whiskey does it take to reach to maximum speed of old age?
Blue, because ice cream doesn't have bones.
The answer is: However many they will let you purchase at the carnival before cutting you off.
😂
I'm a Tom Waits fan and just saw it as funny. They're just poking fun at his poetry
Tomas Carroll
Tomas Carroll
Same
I see it as honoring rather than poking fun :)
It feels like the creative love child of Tom Waits and Ren and Stimpy...
it sorta reminds me of david cross’s standup too
😂
I love every second of this. Some of those lines were absolutely perfect lol
Hold up David cross on Tom waits? Two of my favorite people I gotta watch this
I live in that 'Final Question' town in NM.
Naomi is still here and she still has that box of Virginia Slims.
oh my god this is perfect
This is fucking awesome! "Is this legal?" "...okay!"
So judging by these comments, Tom Waits fans have no sense of humour. So just because a joke involves someone you like, you're forced to declare it the worst thing ever? Is it like a religion or something?
BugPope Tom Waits is pretty much a religion to me. But I thought this is hilarious. Perhaps my fellow Tom Waits devotees, might have been upset because there was no actual Tom Waits in this video.
A bit of a let down......
Tom Waits is clearly just part of the title, there's nothing about the title that's misleading. Are Tom Waits fans just thick?
Damn. They should have gotten the real thing.
Strangest episode of Prairie Home Companion.
Tape 5 on Chinese Algebra-ssieres is really hard.
I love everything about this
Video is 3:14 long.
And we're counting every second.
High School Algebra on LSD thank you Tom Waits! I WIN!
Fucking funny shit, I will bet Tom thinks so too.
That guy does a lousy impression of Rolf from the Muppets.
Is that supposed to be a Tom Waits impression?
Heath Ledger based his joker voice on Tom Waits.
Robin Williams did a good Tom Waits impression once
It looks like they're reading this blind, having never seen it before. It's an impromptu impression. You shouldn't expect it to be better than you could do.
Its actually pretty good
@@bullshitethirty9590 no one give a shit
Ha! Yes. This is great. Should those math cassettes exist, I'd buy them. I do believe I have an old double deck in my attic storage that I could hook back on and use to play them! :D

This is great. Holy shit.
What's he counting in there?
This sounds harder than Chinese algebra
I love this. The Tom Waits impersonation is surprisingly good.
he's definitely not
Tf are you talking about?
No it's not
It’s surprisingly not. But I’m glad you liked it.
It was objectively terrible.
Nice work, Michelle Williams!
is it supposed to be a pun on "does meth?" Is this NPR? Where the hell am I?
@@estevancarlos my record collection is two fifths Tom Waits, but my booze collection is only one fifth of bourbon... that means I gotta come up with three fifths by the next full moon, or I won't be able to keep Tom Waits in the underground!
Brilliant!!!😂
I’m thinking of Rick and Morty lol 😁
...and they're only a dollar!
Sacred cow becomes hamburger.
Is this legal? Hahahahahah...ok.
I fucking love this. Tom waits is my hero. I dont get why people are so butthurt over this
The Waits-esque background music is hilarious, but the sketch itself is "cute" at best; sort of a "Prairie Home Companion" vibe... they could have been MUCH harsher on old Tom; a missed opportunity in my opinion.
Why would they have wanted to be? They were parodying him, not trying to be derisive.
I would have done better in math with this course.
I hope Tom Waits sues this guy like he did Frito Lay!
Sounds more like Rolf from the Muppets than Tom Waits, but not bad
One can't help but wonder what Tom Waits thought of this routine. My guess would be...
"There weren't enough Jamaicans, I didn't help him with the air conditioner, and I only used that machine twice. I give it a Sudoku puzzle out of 10."
hahahahahahhahahaha
This be hilarious
The music sounds more Primus-ey....
❤
😂👏🩴
I think I'd be open to not hating this if the the name of the show didn't imply it's supposed to be witty
does WITS stand for "what is this shit?!" ...just a thought. love this vid, shared it with all of my lovely tom waits fans
Maths 😁
Who knew geometry could be so obtuse.
Wish they made more of a joke about Tom's legal stuff after the first mention. Lost potential. Fyi for anyone tom has had a shit ton of winning legal music battles over his royalties and artist rights. I think he's got the top spot at the moment as the most open court cases of any musician
I think the real tom waits would say fuck math. Learn music and drink.
I was born in 1991 and I have no idea who Tom Waits is
Look him up. No time like the present. ✌🔥
That's heartbreaking. You're missing out. Imagine the most annoying successful pop artist, with 15 sexy dancers backing them up. Now think of all the costume changes they go through in one concert. Tom Waits is the opposite of that.
Awesome stuff. Our band's lead singer is very influenced by this stuff. Check it out if you get a chance. Cheers!
cheap, trashy, poorly acted, it was awesome!
The imitation was serviceable, but the music behind him? That is NOT what a tom waits record sounds like. Einsturzende Neubauten maybe, but not Tom Waits.
I think it was trying to sound like a track like What's He Building.
The music absolutely sounds like Tom Waits, if anything I’d say the synth noise should probably have been a piano but other than that it’s spot on, could have been an intro to anything from Swordfishtrombones or Mule Variations
Thats not a good tom waits
Eric Engel Good enough to get the point across. Too bad Heath Ledger died before this sketch though. He based his joker voice off of Tom Waits and it was pretty much spot on! Go back and listen
Wow...this was a waste of my time.
is this some sort parody? like... am I missing something?
yes and like...yes
well? what's it a parody of?
I know who Tom Waits is, I just can't find the humor
Terrible impression and people who like Tom will hate this.
Nope!
Homer and Shakespeare are gonna fight over who gets to light Tom's lucky strikes in paradise...
And...
The skits ok. Kinda like when most of the ice melted in a glass of bourbon. You drink it anyway.
