To repeat some great advice that was yelled at me by a drunk and well-meaning friend, "WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE AND ASK YOURSELF THE HARD QUESTIONS, THEY SHOULDN'T BE RHETORICAL!"
Your friend is Uncle Iroh bro
This is absolutely brilliantly articulate wisdom lmao. And seconding the other commenter, mega Iroh vibes
@@gasterg.continent3118 "I'm begging you, Prince Zuko, it's time that you look inward and start asking yourself the big questions. Who are you, and what do you want?"
@MrToast yeah big questions like Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?
@@luxiken6719 I haven't seen that meme in so long lol thanks for the chuckle. Has anyone _really_ been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
I love the idea that there's an animated singing therapist version of Tom Cardy in this universe
Most importantly: still wearing his shorts.
2.9k l8kes and one 1 comment?? Lemme fix that.

I love that Rebecca's main way of dodging questions is shaking her hips to the beat, gotta keep that style even when self-destructing
What do you think nightclubs are for?

Relatable. In so many ways.
Rebecca's sassy and cute tbh
I love the 98% vegan milk that states "no milk vegan free" defeating the point of it being vegan and being milk at the same time.
“98% vegan” in itself is hilarious
Like… so it’s 2% not vegan? Doesn’t that make the entire thing not vegan?
@@cartoonishidealism582 Nah, just pour out those 2%, it's fine.
@@havcola6983 or pour in another 2% vegan milk
maybe it's because of crop kills? maybe it's infused with the haunting ghosts of rabbits who died coincidentally but also as a direct result of the milk production so it's not quite vegan but it's not unvegan either since it lact(ose) intent?
idk man
I would like to watch a cartoon about haunted vegan milk spoiling someone's appetite through passive aggressive means though
wow, you sure are enjoying that ice cream, I hope you're proud of lapping up my evident mortality JASPER must be sweet knowing I can no longer squeak
Mr mouse you have a point, I'm sorry I will not Finnish it

Love the way Tom’s been charactuered as a lil’ gnome man in this
It's Tiny Tom!
@@RebeccaKartzmark Tiny Tom has replaced my shoulder angel.

I love how the choice of characters reminds us that Tom is actually the one trying to give US some perspective on our life issues with his songs.

Weird you assume US is the only nation he could be directing this at instead of the entirety of the human race

The “that was rhetoricaaaal” and “I want to get better but slow” are genuinely my favorite parts of this. They just look really good for some reason.
Hands down my new fav animator
Smoooth af.
"If you're so smart, then why am I sad?" And "STOP TAKING DRUGS" are my favorite animated parts.
I think this song actually made me look at myself and make some better choices when it first came out. Thank you. Only one cup of coffee a day, and I stopped staying up all night. I ain't 100%, but feel much better generally. Thanks, Tom!
Speaking from experience with mental health struggles, it's an everyday choice (and it's hard, and some days it feels like you're going backwards) to try to make your life better one tiny step at a time, but when you make progress, you can look back and go "wow, I did that!" and it's worth it. Keep up the good work!
Also seeing a professional could help too !
Did reducing caffeine alone help? I wake up to anxiety after around 3 hours of sleep and it takes me 2-3 hours to fall back to sleep
@@Anomalous-Plantid say try melatonin or see a sleep specialist
That’s ANAZING !! Im so proud of you!! How are you? ❤
Thanks for collaborating with me on this! Had a ton of fun with this one!
Super job!
Great work
Yeeeeeh Bec is the best everyone tell Bec how good she is (I.e the best)
yeah bec youre the best!!!!
you did a spectacular job!! it's so smooth and i freaking adore how the light moves as if it was in a 3d space, especially at 0:17
Props to the animator, loved how bouncy everything was!
🤨
@@hollow1139 pretty sure they don’t mean like that. It’s more of the animation style

was looking for panic breathing exercises because I felt a panic attack coming on, found this gem instead, still anxious but also feeling groovy
Inhale deeply through your nose, using only your stomache, not your chest. Hold it softly for a solid 3-5s, then breathe back out through your mouth. I usually do this 3 or 4 times, take my time and it tends to calm me down! Hope this helped!❤🩹
@@kingboomber thank you that helped, I usually need a visual to help me concentrate on my breathing but I'm feeling a little better now anyways:)
In addition to breathing exercises I would recommend some for grounding yourself a little. One that helps me a bit sometimes is "thinking in triangles".
Basically you stop and count up 5 things that you can physically see, then hear, then feel. Repeat and go down to 4 of each thing, always trying to pinpoint different things in your surroundings. Keep going until you only have 1 of each thing left, and breathe.
As someone with GAD, this is such a good representation of the cycle of anxiety that leads to poor self care/poor habits that leads to anxiety. Also the music and animation slap.
Painfully tru
same bro
Personally I like to think its the fact that the world is slowly falling apart due to extensive consumerism and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it as it will slowly continue to affect my life negatively as everyone around me is content with it.
@@CatgirlExplise6039personal responsability is a thing you know?
@@ianduarte1992 how exactly does personal responsibility have to do with the failing economic and political landscape of my country alongside its rampant corporate authoritarianism, alongside the segregation of the quality of life that will go on to affect me as I grow in a slowly decaying world?
Well that's another complete success of an animation and personal attack. Well done.
Direct hit on my personality, oof
Charming animations✅
Funny lyrics✅
A great singer✅
This is perfect
fwiw I actually have an anxiety disorder that I've been getting professional help for and I've been using this song to remind myself not to use maladaptive coping mechanisms
also like it's just a banger anyways
@@LvK138 Well yes, but also...
Holy shit, same, but I don't have a clinical disorder I'm just an idiot
@@quietpandora4855 I never said I wasn't an idiot on top of everything! High five!
@@LvK138 yeah! 🖐️:D
0:32 I just realized that her desktop there is a cluttered mess that she hasn't bothered to actually organize into their correct places, but rather just put everything into folders all on her desktop to make it seem more organized and put-together than it actually is... *_SYMBOLISM_*
Dunno how many times I've listened to this song while avoiding responsibilities, but I suppose once more won't hurt :D
reading this while avoiding homework :D
@@noahhager1187 Reading this while avoiding packing when we signed the papers to the new place yesterday :D
Watching this instead of going to bed with only 6 hours of sleep left 😅
Share this song with your mom so she finally gets where our generation is coming from.
And call her!
Please advise: This describes my mother
"And call her!"
Hey! There's a Tom Cardy song for that called "Call your Mother". Totally recommend it! Try both if you can, but listen to the song first before calling your Mother.
@@Ironpants57 yeah, that's probably the reference OP (can i even say OP in this case) made
I would, but I don't believe in seances ;)
Tom Cardy is the Barbie of this video. He's your yoga instructor, your inner thoughts, your therapist and more
Not complaining
Exactly, tom cardy taking on so many roles in this video
i already felt attacked by this song, but now it's animated with a character that eerily looks JUST LIKE ME
Clean your place, get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast. You're worth it!
@@sbcguitarist That sleep bit apparently just ain't an option for me. I can fall asleep at 8-11 and wake up from 1-4 for some reason and it's really hard for me to go back to sleep. I don't snore but apparently i talk in my sleep.
actually there's an evolutionary advantage to that, my mom dad, siblings and I all have that quirk, along with a bunch of other people. use it to your advantage and do a few chores before going back to bed for a early am nap and get a pm job instead of a morning one if you can
AND STAY OFF THE PHONE WHEN YOU WAKE UP THE FIRST TIME the blue light and brain activity and all of that
it just means you would be helpful in the early days of humanity for when we had to be trading places to watch out for predators at night and day, your like, the in-between dude of early birds and night owls =3
@@respectfullyrazerian2154 Even if we ask we don't want to know. 😢😭. It was rhetorical 🥺😭
claire spotted
I love how Tom is the one considered the voice of reason and logical in this one
First when I saw the title and saw the animation, I thought it's another educational video about anxiety and it literally made me anxious, and then I saw the name of the author and relaxed, lol
Only Tom can make anxiety relaxing.
😂
Lyrics:
I just woke up, should I drink water and stretch?
(no, no)
I'm gonna drink 3 cups of coffee and smoke a cigarette instead
and then I go on social media until it's dinner time
yeah, smoke some weed and then I binge eat
then I got a little time to complain online
I'm anxious
Why is God doing this to me?
(Ooh, it's a mystery. What could it be? Possibly, it's all you apathy.)
Why am I anxious?
I would try to do anything
to make my life feel better
except anything that makes my life feel better
Hey baby, I'm self-aware
I got the headspace app, because I care
All to talk in the world don't mean shit
If just like this guy
You're a hypocrite.
Who you calling hypocrite? I'm a fucking martyr.
I've given up sugar and no milk products either
Still feel anxious, it's just not fair
For someone like me, so self-aware
You're not self aware, you're a big dumb fuck, with a dumb fuck face.
And now you're outta luck.
If your so smart, why am I sad?
Because twice a week, you get on the bags
Well maybe it's that
It's definitely that.
Do I need more hugs?
Stop taking drugs!
I guess we'll never know for sure
Yes we will, motherfucker, it's because
Why am I anxious?
You only sleep 4 hours a night
Agh, why am I anxious
You never, ever eat right
Aghh, that was rhetorical
Then why did you just post a photo of yourself without a shirt on
And the caption can anybody tell me
Why am I anxious?
Why is God doing this to me?
Even though I ask, I don't want to know
I want to get better but slow
Why am I anxious?
I know what's good for me.
Except everything, oh I think that could be it.
(Anxious)
most unrealistic part of this is the fact that she's wearing both a clean-looking top and pants. her hair's even brushed.
Gotta make yourself look fabulous, i mean for some time in the video she did have online therapy and a social media account, so gotta keep the main looks up, even if your house and life are a mess.
I like the idea that tom has fits of absurdism where he makes a bunch of songs in a fit of madness in the span of a few weeks and then fucks off the internet until he has another neurotic episode
He has about a two month cycle. Spends two weeks working like mad, then four weeks fucking off and maybe writing one or two songs when he's bored.
0:57 I NEED that poster of Smokin Joe Rudeboy
@@RebeccaKartzmark OMG THANK YOU
pretty sure it’s up on tom’s merch shop
"I want to get better, but slow".
Anyone else feeling really called out by this?
Yes.
Hahahahaha... 😞
IKR
Yep
✋
0:52 definitely hits different
I’m loving this trend of Tom uploading independent animators’ music videos of his songs! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store, animated or otherwise! Your songs bop!
Besides the fact that Tom makes amazing catchy and relatable songs
It's super awesome how through the animated music videos he gives animators a huge platform additionally and the attention they so much deserve it's just amazing all around :D
You soooo right
1:08 this part goes HARD
I love how the animation shows Tom being the guru to the world with this song, while Bec represents all of us and our guilty shame that crystallised in the moment we first heard this song.
1:32 expressions are so cute I love them so much
I think I will follow the animator just because of these takes
I love how big the artist draws mouths. Usually they're drawn small so it's incredibly satisfying to see them animated big and still smoothe!
Lmao why does the million folders on the desktop perfectly capture the energy of the song
Congratz to Bec for manifesting for themselves the thing we all dream of: Having ethereal Tom Cardy follow us around and terrorize us judgmentally.
the lip syncing is crrisps
I love these songs getting animated, they are always so comedic.
"I want to get better but slow" resonates with me.
That's not a good thing.
1:14 ok, that felt personal
Me: I'm anxious, but i don't do any of these things!
"You only sleep 4 hours a night!"
Me who sleeps 2 to 4 hours a night: Oh, there it is....
It's funny to imagine Tom as Rebecca's exasperated guardian angel.
animated tom cardy songs >>>>>>>>
the world needs more straight-man therapist characters who're slightly passive aggressive, sarcastic, blunt, and are done with their clients shit
it's so beautiful ='}
-gets up to do chores, grumbling-
THE EXPRESSIONS ARE KILLING ME SJAANDKSNSKSKD
0:22 multiple Tom Cardy's as god? Yup.
words can't describe how seeing a little animated tom cardy filled me with serotonin
*Just when I thought this song couldn’t get better you had to slap me across the jaw with this piece of art.*
Tom there's no need to call me out so viciously
I must say as somone trying to animate it is so impressive seeing jist how smooth your animation is, very talented i must say
Can you imagine if there’s a Smokin’ Joe one
It would be so sick
Tom as a therapist is far too powerful.
I didn’t expect to get a video for this one. Very cute!
Ya know, this song is really what inspired me to take control of the things I had power over but instead chose to complain about. Addressing my sleep, eating habits, lack of stretching and dropping the social media feeds really did wonders for my state of being. Still have the neuroses but at least I generally don't make it actively worse for myself in an attempt to get pity reactions.
Again, watching this at 3AM and feeling very called out. I guess I'll go make myself a coffee. I've already gotten four hours sleep, time to scroll social media until I'm supposed to "wake up" and leave the house.
Listening to this song to help calm down
"If you're so smart, why am I sad?"
There are some questions not even the smartest people on this planet can not answer.
Because, twice a week, you get on the bags
@@rowtow13 Well, maybe it's that...
@@Binerexis It's definitely that
@@thomas....Do I need more hugs?
@@titanium4082STOP TAKING DRUGS!
I see what's wrong, you have a cop for a therapist.
HE'S NOT A COP!
"I want to get better, but slow" still hits hard and I hate it
this is so smooth wtff
i think about this song Frequently 💀 antidepressants have helped but this is definitely a reminder i need to do a little more than just take meds. i need to like... sleep and drink water
slow down there, no need to resort to extremes
going on walks has been somewhat nice for me

Yeah I gotta agree the whole issue with depression is that it makes you unable to improve yourself, and yet people don't seem to recognize the antidepressants are supposed to get you to a point you can fix yourself
damn this animation is crisp
The expression game in this video is top notch
1:26 that post was so bad it had negative comments
They demaneed an explanation from her
Rebecca you did such a kick ass job on this video! Seriously well done. Also Tom amazing as always! :)
Love the Smokin' Joe cameo.
Where?

Danm good eye bro!
literally just yesterday i accidentally drank coffee on a day where i knew my anxiety would be at an all-time high and got myself extremely sick why do i do these things to myself
Do as Tom said, drink water and stretch
Or get down with a few fags and bags ya know
I fully enjoyed all the dance moves
1:38 saved for me.
the animation is so fun and bouncy
This is absolute eye-candy! So SMOOTH
Man the lipsync is so good. The overall animation is great but I want to give special props to the mouth animations.
The mouth shapes in this are really well animated and Cartoon Tom makes me feel weird in my pants
He makes you feel what

The animation is super smooth and I love the design of Tom. Simple, but effective. Hmmmmmm, I'm now noticing how big of a chin Tom has. The polygon shape for his head is very fitting for him. Great now I can't unsee it. Wait. He's staring back at me. As if he can see into my soul.
I love how tom is rhe voice of reason
Found this while listening to the song “Dupe - Folin Kot”, good recommendation 🔥🔥🔥
Their animation style reminded me of Hilda and The Ghost and Molly McGee. Looking at their demo reel, I was RIGHT!
No kidding! Hilda is awesome!
I was Thinking the same thing!
I love the art style and animation for this one! Props to Bec for the great work!
These dancing numbers were so smooth i'm glad you had anxiety 😩👌
This was the song that led me to Tom, I love that he chose to animate this one
We need an animated version of the ballad of smokin Joe
I've never felt so called out in a song before
THE ANIMATION IS SO EXPRESSIVE AND FLUID AND SMOOOOTH
Every time the person smirks I cant help but burst out laughing it's just animated perfectly
I love the little dance at 1:18
Song = Amazing
Video = Amazing
Also, I caught Fan Expo Canada in the social media!
i'l feeling called out
I really love how smooth the animation is, especially with the funk beat at 1:32. It's so satisfying to watch
Truly my life's anthem, thank you for making this lmao
Tom Cardy - Slowly but surely making music that makes those listen to it say: "Maybe I need Therapy..." only for Tom to later add a bar in there: "Yeah,Iknow,that'sthepointoftheentiresongyahfuckin'nutbaggogetyourmentalhealthfixedupit'stheentirepointofabout75%ofmysongs,okaythnxbye!"
The face expressions are awsome
Little dancing Tom really does it for me. Also stop attacking me with words.
Man, i love rebecca's art style so much. Its bouncy, detailed and simple in the right areas
I'm anxious bc I'm procrastinating while listening to this song.
She has to animate the Repress it Song!
I never felt so attacked by every word in a song than this one, thank you, i needed that lol
Rebecca there was so much personality in your work! Also Tom did good, but that's just kinda accepted at this point.
This song is what got me to start drinking water in the morning and go to bed earlier. Can confirm, makes me feel infinitely less anxious.
Great shapes. Lot of fun personality in the expressions
I've already made it to the next step.
"Why can't I make myself do anything to make my life better?"
Well, to be fair you are anxious.
