I realise that "don't try this at home" often seems like a ridiculous thing to say, but there are folks of all ages watching this. I don't want to even slightly risk someone imitating this without all the professional teams around. With that said: thank you to all those professionals, and thank you to JP and Tommy for setting up the narrative! They've got a whole gunfight on their channel using practical effects, which is definitely worth a watch.
Thats so cool
Scott.
@@CryingAutumn Morrison
what a great idea.
@@SirKartoshka is a knobhead
Starting to suspect this channel is Tom's way of training to be a stuntman
Stuntman/musician.
@@richardharrold9736 /blacksmith
a while ago tom realized "hey, i can get just about any skill or experience i want so long as i can make a video of it.." and then a lightbulb appeared above his head
@@swedneck maybe too big brained because the lightbulb popped
More like jack of all trades at this point.
Massive respect to the person who spent hours of their life not only making all of the captions, but color coding them for absolute clarity
it really is nice :) thanks, captioner
It is probably multiple people, but props to them for doing that
JS* created Caption+ and it’s a professional service for creating captions
When Tom said that successful youtubers should at least "Buy a damn subtitle!", he's including himself in that. And it is absolutely amazing.
I didn't even know those could have colors in them
Tom Scott went from trying coffee as an adult to actually putting himself on fire. Talk about facing your fears head on
I mean, I did both of those things when I was 14 but I guess there's a lot to be said for having expert assistance on hand.
Next week: girls
And so far, only defeated by a horrible wet cave.
@@japplek
To be fair, it was the Devil’s Arse.
@@alex0589 😂😂
Good to know that people actually go "psshhhh" when practicing putting the fire out
It's amusing to see, but that shows everyone when you start the extinguisher. If you don't go "pssshhhh" what show the director you understood when to press the button ?
So there is a technical reason for it.
Makes you trust them more. They clearly know what they’re doing
I would imagine it's also for the stunt man's benefit, to practice listening for the sound of the extinguishers and not start breathing again until it stops.
Regrets being *so good* at going "psshhhh" that *forgets to extinguish Tom Scott* during the final take.
It’s like they say “if you can psssshh in rehearsal then we know you’ll PSSSSHHHHH during the take”
MY FAVOURITE PART IS WHEN TOM IS STILL SMOKING WATCHING THE FOOTAGE
oh hello dodie
"This is fine."
haha yes
The underdog is a regular watcher!
😂😂😂 yesss the perfect lighting, he seemed to have already started smoking once the fire gel is on too at 13:49 I wonder why
Love the moments of getting Tom outside! Tom: "I'm fine I'm fine." Dean: " I don't care; outside" The dedication to safety procedures was spot on.
I really enjoyed that too. But do you know why they did that? I don't think they explained that part of the procedure in the vid, or else I've missed it.
@@Hirosjimma purely guessing here, but it's to take him to fresh air and away from any possible danger, including reignition
@@Hirosjimma You'll notice they were followed by a paramedic and two, new and different, fire extinguishers. If anything went wrong, any piece of fire wasn't off, undetonated pyros in-doors, Tom got injured or burned, or in general any unpleasantry; It is safer and easier to attend to it outside at a secondary location, were the building won't caught on fire, there's natural light to see what's going on, they're one step away from jumping into a car or ambulance, etc. There's a lot that could go wrong, Tom might not feel injuries or burns due to adrenaline, fire might not be fully off, some fires are not visible and they wouldn't notice until they felt it burning. It's just overall easier and safer to deal with unforeseen accidents away from the set and outside. But it's part of the standard procedure so you don't have to come up with the best idea in a panicked craze, instead its just part of what you normally always do, so if the worse happens you're already doing the things that saves the stunt life out of habit.
@@Leo0718 nicely explained. Thanks!
I also think that CO2 was used in the fire extinguishers and breathing CO2 can make you unconscious. Makes sense to get Tom to fresh air ASAP
Tom: "I'm fine"
Stunt coordinator: "I dont care! Outside! I dont care!"
That's how he keep his people safe.
“You might _feel_ fine, but I need to confirm that you definitely _are_ fine.”
Plus all that CO2 powder all over him could be dangerous if too much is inhaled.
Never has anyone said 'I don't care' with as much concern for another person's welfare!
He's aggressively competent at his job hahahaha
@@archivist17 That's safety people in general that know their job. Their job is to keep you safe, no matter what. And the best way to have people listen to you is to be aggressive and direct with you. They probably will apologize to you later when they know you are safe and sound in case they get really aggressive. But at the moment, they care about your safety, not your feelings.
good god, Dean was so friendly and caring with Tom, this “don’t care, outside” made me almost tear up as for how nice it was
Thats safety people who know their stuff in general for you
yes!! it was so touching fr
Tom Scott is slowly turning into a daredevil and he's doing it spectacularly. Absolutely splendid. He's doing great.
Bike? Ehh
Fire? YES
@@Lizz85257 👌🏻
Tom Scott's turning into Tom Cruise!
Modern day John Noakes..
@@RobABankWithABagel he's smashing through the window of the plane too, right?
...and also there's a handmade mug in the cup holder
16:00 One of the most important lessons in this video is that when there are (safety) procedures to follow, you follow them without taking any shortcuts. They are crafted in a much longer time than the split second decision you want to make. They are there so things are predictable, and to bring something that might be chaotic into a stable state. Deviating from safety procedures adds cognitive load on others, and might make a situation worse than it otherwise would have been.
I really appreciated this part, talk about knowing one’s craft and sticking to the plan. What a dude
That's one of the reasons I have no sympathy at all with wanna-be-heroes. Those are the people I keep an extra safe distance from ... 🖖
Safety procedures make things safe. That's the bottom line.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Except when they fail, and a child with third degree burns has to wait over 30 minutes for an ambulance (true story).
Many regulatioms are written in blood.
Or very charred and/or exploded body parts.
I love how the guy in charge isn't just asking Scott if he's ready to proceed, he's asking the entire team if they're comfortable with him proceeding. That's awesome.
tom scott, who is too nervous to sing in front of people, elected to be set on fire
I would 100% choose fire if those are the options.
I would far rather be set on fire than sing in front of people.
Awesome
at times when I have had to sing in front of people, I have actively wished to be set on fire
The last time I sang in front of an audience, they very kindly set me on fire so I could stop.
imagine if they had just said “again, but this time with feeling”
i think tom would’ve died 😂
Oh, oh, absolutely.
Tom's stiff face never gets old
Are we sure they didn't actually use the Tom Scott robot bust for this shot? Looks just like him!
ya, he would have died
Probs to the safety coordinator. Good level of not making you too scared while at the same time making sure everyone involved is 100% focused on his/her job!
I mean, they _are_ playing with fire
Tom, your videos on this channel are either like "I learned pottery! I tried lots of different types of coffee! I went on a scavenger hunt around London!" or "I SET MYSELF ON FIRE! I GOT PUNCHED THROUGH A WINDOW! I ELECTRICALLY SHOCKED MYSELF FOR FUN!!!"
Or simply “Playing a pub game”
from "im going to try slightly more hot coffee" to "i will set myself on fire because xD"
Probably one of the coolest videos you've done yet. And to the safety coodinator, his professionalism, calm, expertise and pride in work was evident the whole time. One hell of an experience, eh Tom?
Definitely not one of his coolest videos. Probably his hottest though.
@@bobrong9645 *pun*
Sure - but I now worry that one day I'll be whisked out an ambulance, and the last thing I'll hear it "Heart transplant PLUS Tom Scott"
@@goldcd LMFAO
That "dont care, outside." is what really cemented his professionalism in my eyes.
Gotta appreciate the commitment to realism on the trial runs with fire extinguisher sounds.
I mean, if you are not doing sound effects, are you really rehearsing?
Audio cues are just as important as the visual cues.
Doing dry runs looks really dumb but it’s extremely important
It's so everything _sounds_ similar, too, so there's no unexpected startling. On film sets with "boom stick" scenes, they do say or shout "bang!" [or similar] during the practice runs.
Brilliant acting, really had me sold on the role of "fire extinguisher."
Dean's serious approach to safety is greatly admirable.
Like many here, I was really impressed with how meticulous the safety coordinator was. That amount of precision and knowledge can calm anyone
I love Tommy's enthusiasm when talking about pyrotechnics. That smile.
(The rest of the team are very enthusiastic about lighting Tom on fire too)
Well... they spent at least a day in his presence =D
@@Nathan_Moor we are still primitive humans. We see fire, we happy
"the rest of the team are very enthusiastic about lighting tom on fire" that sounds like something from some sort of tv show, but i cant pinpoint what show
edit: sounds like something form top gear
@@JovanLemon replace tom with clarkson, or the giant oaf, and i can hear that exactly in May's voice
@@batughanuzun spoken like a true pryo
This channel just keeps getting increasingly unpredictable with the content. I love it
This is how Tom turned from Reddit's r/mildlyinteresting to 4chan's random /b/.
Tom finished all of the side quests and is now just achievement hunting.
Also Tom so giddy hes actually met his real childhood hero 🤣🥰
Ahoy, I'm a cook who has spent entirely too much time around fire, and I can confirm that it feels like being smacked in the face if fire gives you a lil kiss in the face, your body has such an instant reaction to that heat.
As a cook I can confirm. You do get used to it though. I pick up scolding hot things all the time because my hands are used to it
Thanks for saying to not try it anywhere! I'm used to the "don't try at home" warnings so I was just about to go across the street to try.
exactly
wait so you're allowed to do it outside your home if they say "don't try at home" instead of "don't try anywhere"? i'll grab the explosives
@@ultrablueslime8216 Unfortunately, one can say that the entirety of your country counts as your home, so that won’t work. The same could be said for anywhere on earth. If I were you, I’d go to a different galaxy, just to be safe. Maybe a parallel universe, if you’re able.
@@caltheuntitled8021 ohhh, i didn't know the entire earth was my home. why do people keep saying "get out of my house" when i enter their homes then?
@@ultrablueslime8216 Same reason your sister told you to get out of her room when you were little. It may be part of your home, but it's not your space in your home.
Didn't catch the guy's name at 9:08, but I was very impressed with how closely he worked with you. Really was by your side every step of the process. Absolute professional of his craft.
Dean Forster, apparently he's a stunt coordinator with 25 years of experience.
I wish i had a mentor like that for high school or doing my taxes
@@alex0589 *sets fire to tax bill* Sorted.
@@alex0589 "I don't care. Fill it out. I don't care."
@@CharlesGregory I wish it was that easy I literally used a tax software this year and the IRS still audited me saying I owed so I paid and now they're telling me I don't owe anything and I won't see the money I was originally owed till next tax season.
That pyro guy is one of the sweetest and most kind gentlemen I've ever seen. Tom, that was awesome and terrifying. But I felt that you were absolutely safe.
That's incredible.... Thank you for showing this.
If I had a nickel for every time I saw Tom Scott holding gasoline questionably, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
The same can be said for Tom Scott’s gray jacket being set on fire…
What was the time other than this? I've only seen him doing that on this video.
Living for the P&F references here.
11:35 the way he continously counted to show that he is remembering that you need to hold your breath was very reassuring and cool. what a great trainer/expert!
"Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, rehearse...and we´re going to rehearse again."
You better do. We need our fix of Tom in the future.
Really appreciate the professionalism on display during this entire process, and that when Tom went "I want to rehearse one more time", everybody was immediately on board with his decision.
Dean Forster the Stunt Coordinator did a phenomenal job. The advice, the counting for burn time, forcing Tom out the door to be away from the area and in fresh air, it just shows how much he knows about what he is doing.
The expert team leader has great energy. Love his charisma!
I was thinking that
Charismatic, friendly and reassuring during rehearsals. All Business and in complete control of the room when the time calls for it.
A true Professional.
trueee
Just remember that a couple of months ago Tom couldn’t ride a bicycle and now he’s on fire.
... that sounds like the bicycle ride went *so badly* that he's now on fire... :)
Next step, flaming bicycle!
What I thought was really interesting about this was the counting of the seconds of holding breath. I never seen this being a part of fire stunts before but watching them do the stunts and count the time over and over again was curiously fascinating.
It's likely him counting either the time until heat penetrates or time until Tom runs out of O² on his lungs. Probably both.
Not gonna lie, I actually cried a little bit in happiness after seeing how much everyone put into making this happen and doing everything right. 10/10 Tom
it's not even emotional 🙄
I agree with you Vicky, it was really sweet and caring how the team organised it 😊
@@tickledonions9483i will stew you
Tom ducks below the table, reappears completely lubed up.
And then, seeing himself on fire, decides now would be a good time to pick up ballet. :')
@@EvenTheDogAgrees That is purest humour right there. Thank you.
And his hands turn slightly more ogre-like.
Wait a minute, that's no lube...🤔
In an alternate universe:
*Tom Scott is cooked by cannibals pretending to be stunt experts*
Later that night on the dinner table: Pass me some of that Tom please.
@@monibahmad ah yes, Jerry eating Tom. How the turn tables
That stuff they were slathering on him was a lovely wine reduction sauce.
What a professional, sometimes even when we fully respect something dangerous, having people around can make you feel happy and adventurous enough that your fear is completely overwhelmed which often leads to truly being in danger.
The fire safety professional was amazing at always making you remember that no matter the situation, fire is dangerous. Even just watching I was thinking how serious that is thanks to him. Great video, thanks people!
Having done some office fire safety training with the local fire department I gained a lot of appreciation, if not downright fear, for the danger of fire. It is not a thing to mess with. Thumbs up for Tom and the safety coordinators. Even a small stunt like this takes a lot of courage and mutual trust.
The other day this guy was learning to ride a bike on this channel
time for a mashup?
@@FiXato Definitely. Night Rider recreation coming up next.
@@DragonMaster1804 Don't forget the cup of decaf coffee at the ride's end.
They grow up so fast *sniff*
Tom is just trying to be as unpredictable as possible at this point
it's the old saying of "never let em know your next move"
@@arfansthename that’s why I flash the opposite indicator when I drive
Loved the lead in to this. Specifically making sure *everyone* knew exactly what to expect at every stage. Trial each stage individually before the big moment. Not taking anything for granted despite the people in charge having done this a lot. (“Oh I thought that bang would be quieter. Oh I thought it would be louder. Ok now we are going to set your arm on fire in a very controlled setting, etc”)
Loving how Tom keeps doing these "I've never done this in my life" things but the top of the cake on this video go to the safety guy and the person who made the captions so easy to read for us non-native English speakers. You're all amazing (Tom included of course)
I love this channel, arguably more than the OG channel, I love how Tom is constantly breaking through his comfort zone to try new things, it's spectacular, the informative content is good but boy is this better
I love how he does crazy things but professionally
I was thinking that the whole time! It's so disappointing that people are attracted to shocking, dangerous things, and they get horribly injured from poor planning or not enough expertise, but it's a joy to see it done with the right amount of care for one another.
Awesome
That final shot of Tom with steam rising from his head actually made me laugh out loud! Props for attempting this, way more fire than I was expecting!
it's interesting, that was happening as soon as they put that gel on his head.
I think it has to be really cold.
In the last 2 weeks Tom Scott has:
- Been set on fire
- Had a robot double built
- Explained how radio clocks work
Amazing.
- Got stalked
@@thisaccounthasbeensuspended That happened just over two weeks ago
And somehow, radio clocks aren't even the most exciting part!
If the set on fire thing did't go well robot double would take over. So now we know why they build it.
@@michait3866 ah I love the lore within the TSVU (Tom Scott Videographic Universe)
14:00 and on , I could feel that whole moment in front of my computer in Canada, miles and miles away, certainly a few days after this was shot. Tom and this team have done an amazing job of sharing this moment. Thank you
It's like I could feel the flames.
It made the moment even more tense to see smoke rising from the fire gel and thus from Tom's head. No idea if that's the stuff being so cold, evaporating at room temperature, or something completely different.
@@P3x310 The room itself was already cold, I assume the gel is also cold to give extra protection from the flames
For real
my mate did a full body burn for 3.59 minutes for a world record attempt, seeing this made me appreciate it even more. Well done!
12:36 _"(prosthetic glorps)"_
That is the best descriptor of that sound I think I have ever read. Well done to whoever wrote the captions for this video.
The mental part is huge on stunts. I like how they reassure everyone is happy and well while working on the set. If fear developes your brain stops working and you won't be able to make calm and good decisions
Seeing Tom spin around like a ballerina in the rehearsals was the best part
Oh there's something to try! A day learning basic ballet poses, trying to move like a dancer.
@@FairbrookWingates
The standard positions in ballet are few and simple enough that you can learn them from pictures or RUclips. It’s the moving that can get difficult.
Nice to see that you are putting your robot to good use
I will never answer “Are you happy?” the same way again, not without thinking “Yes, ready to be set on fire”
I absolutely love this channel. People tell new RUclipsrs "find a niche and stick to it" and then Tom gets massively successful covering so many topics from entirely different fields and keeping everyone interested along the way.
There's just something awesome about someone so willing to learn and try anything.
With some videos I feel more and more like this channel is Tom having a Midlife Crisis and decided to just go full tilt into trying anything and everything different.
But I also just love Tom doing all these different things!
I mean he's already fine zero-g flight, a trip on an icebreaker and also the red arrows so has done more than most will in thier lives, so the only way is more fire and danger it seems!
He's already a criminal who flew a kite in a public place; might as well put the danger in this time
By far the best demonstration series on at the moment. It's great to see you making a format change like this that still has that educational feel whilst being more hands on with new things. Really looking forward to the next ones
That moment of preparation before the live take made MY nerves rise, marvelous work from the team going over all the preparations, the safety precautions, explaining what to expect and how to react, and of course great work from Tom sharing these moments with us, congrats, this was simply amazing.
Damn. I LOVE seeing exactly how they go through the procedures. That is so professional and really shows the amount of effort for a small effect. Great work
Love the clarification in the title
Tom Scott will answer the questions and do the things we didn’t know we wanted to see or learn, but we are happy regardless
I don't care how many professionals or levels of safety there are, doing this still takes more fortitude than I'll ever have.
I've never been so happy someone's made a second channel. These videos are so incredibly perfect it's unbelievable
I knew it! Tom is a trouble starter, punkin' instigator
, a twisted firestarter!
That's why they call him Mad Cap'n Tom.
Excited for next month, where Tom jumps 10 school busses on a motorcycle
while on fire and singing a song
"Do you wanna try this rollercoaster?"
Tom: I would rather be set on fire.
I love that Tom Scott is giving smaller channels a bump. I've been watching InCsmera for a while. They're so good at what they do and deserve the attention. What a fun video.
Wow, that's lit!
Haha funny
LITerally
Never thought I'd see Tom Scott work with Benedict Cumberbatch
When stunt teams are great at what they do, highly skilled and trained, professional and communicative, it is one of the best aspects of filming. They're still massively underrated, despite being behind some of the biggest blockblusters. But I'm glad they get spotlighted online and in behind the scenes more now than before.
Tom 5 months ago: I don't like coffee.
Tom now: I want to be set on fire
this channel is just early tom scott energy but with more budget
He's realized his true potential.
Unlicensed fire arm
major major props to everyone who worked to make this incredible, amazing video happen. The cam ops, the editors, the whole safety and fire team, the dude making the fire extinguisher sounds, the person who spent probably hours subtitling the whole video and color coding it, and of course, Tom himself. But special props to dean himself, what a professional, charasmatic, kind, knowledgeable, overall great person and teacher.
"On the next episode of Tom Scott Plus, I fly to the moon with just an umbrella"
seriously thank you for the exceptionally good, color-coded captions
The professionalism on this set is brilliant. The procedure of each step including a check for well being is so smooth and reassuring. Lovely work all around.
I love that when Tom says "I'm fine I'm fine" the saftey guy just went "don't care outside" like he hears it constantly anyway
it's amazing and reassuring to see how many safety procedures are in place!
Above and beyond. Some serious commitment here. Even with excellent teams on hand, you're still the one on fire. That takes balls. Kudos.
Tom Scott is LIT.
15:34 wow what a seamless cut from such casual talking to a shot where he's holding his breath and drenched in weird safety gel
Don't be rude.
Dean is so clearly a consummate professional! Amazing to see him work
Tom a few months ago: I wanna learn to ride a bike and drink coffee
Tom today: FIRE!!!!!
I never expected Tom Scott and Benedict Cumberbatch filming a video
The resemblance really is uncanny.
the ending was amazing. the whole team did all to make you as secure as possible and even rushed you straight into the open air! amazing protection
Everything about this video is so wonderful. all the team's dedication to safety, the enthusiasm for what's happening--I love it so much. This channel was 120% a good idea and i am so glad i'm here to see it
"I'm good! I'm good!"
"Outside. Don't care."
2:01 I immediately like this guy
This channel is just Tom going through his bucket list, isn't it?
Yup🤣, and I'm jealous (not of this one to be fair!)
The expert fire stunt handler was so excellent at taking control and making sure you were safe Tom!
9:42 Tom putting his hand in a wallaby’s pouch?
NO, WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IT’S FULL OF *GOO!!!*
This is exactly something I never expected you to do. Very cool!
I'm so excited! Been following InCamera for over a year now! Some of the coolest stuff on YT and it doesnt get seen by enough people! Love the collab!
Love the fact that the guy actually makes fire extinguisher sounds.
throughout the video people keep saying it was toms idea and i just like imagining tom pitching this
tom: ok, ok, so what if. you set me on fire.
people: ...tom what
tom: like safely, of course.. so... set me on fire
people: tom no
tom: tom yes
15:44 “I'm gonna move to Southern California, got me a ride and a reason to ignore you…” - Tom Scott
Wow, Dean Forster just exudes reassurance and professionalism. What a legend!
I love them taking him outside
Tom: I'm good, I'm good
Tech guy : ok, outside, don't care, outside
