I always find it interesting how Tommy uses phrases like “that’s what that looks like?” and “I’ve never seen one of those before!” It really shows how we always speak in terms of sight that it makes more sense grammatically for Tommy to describe sensing something through his other senses as “seeing” them than to use either the word for another sense or a general term like “I’ve never sensed that before”.
In Tommy's defense, those animals are extremely cartoonish versions of themselves so he can't be blamed for guessing incorrectly. A lot of them look nothing like their real-life counterparts. It's amazing that he got any correct just from learning the attributes of different animals over the years, considering he's never seen any of these and would only have had the opportunity to touch a select few of them in person.
My thoughts exactly! And also, he actually did guess many of them, just not at the correct time/with the correct animal :P He did way better than I ever would.
They’re not funky pops, they’re LPS, made by a different company (and definitely a lot older) to be fair, they are a little unrealistic but I think it was just the ones she sent, she sent pretty similar ones
I've gotta say, I was really impressed by the littlest pet shop animal guesses, given how abstract they were. Some of those I couldn't identify with the power of sight ;)
Haha man, I couldn’t have guessed some of those little animal figures, and im sighted. They’re so deformed, many of them don’t look like anything recognizable.
I grew up collecting and playing with these "little animal figures" and I remember feeling so weirded out how many adults weren't able to regognize these animals. To me they have always been really clear. And still are. Like that one is clearly a pig and that one is clearly a Pug. I can even regognize the different dog and cat breeds. I guess it is just what we are used to seeing. Since I have been looking at these toys for a long time the style of these pets has stuck with me. All of them have this big wide head and big eyes and from there you just look at everything else to identify it. Still don't completely get how people can't regognize some of them lol. Even the obivous ones. :D
In many ways, Tommy was correct that the hard drive initially felt like a turntable. It's essentially the same idea but on a smaller and more digital scale.
@@nerysghemor5781 Mark my words, tapes will come back in some form or another for some very specific task. Their surface area is gigantic, even the old tapes had quite a large capacity for what they are, within gigabyte range If I remember right (VHS).
The one thing I appreciate is his love for the feel of objects. We don't really think that way at all and when he says it, it seems so odd but its also very amazing. I love these videos so much.
"Go on! Really??!" Tommy you're a beautiful man with an amazing heart and radiating enthusiasm. I wish you were still doing these videos, I'd enjoy watching you smile to unboxing a navy warship replica.
I remember him talking about how annoying it was to change all the verbs, might as well just go along with what people expect to hear. Everyone knows any means anyway
Fantastic video! I enjoyed watching you guess everything, I think you did really well. Even looking at those little animals, I'd have a bit of trouble identifying them too!
Genius. Sighted people learn much of what things are just by seeing them and we see everything. But, you can only touch things which limits you greatly to exposure of things and yet you know what things are.
When you think of someone who has a disability like not being able to see or hear or use a limb, you would think that they would be very sad or depressed that they can't use that. But Tommy embraces his blindness and it gives him a strong character
Hey Tommy, you should see if Rhett and Link (a duo of youtube personalities) will feature you on their youtube show, Good Mythical Morning (GMM). They do a bunch of crazy stuff, like "Smelling" Bees, and other cool, weird challenges. You totally have the perfect personality for it and I feel like GMM fans would love it if you were on the show. 😃
oh man that was utterly hilarious. Laughed throughout the whole thing where hes guessing the animals... would LOVE to see another episode of that where he tries to guess anatomically accurate (or at least semi-accurate) figures of animals ... those ones were too cartoony; although it made for a great episode so well done to the girl who sent them in
Wow! That would be tough for you! Your always such a good sport! Love your show! I'm in a wheelchair but can do steps once...but it would hurt a lot..😁😃. Like you I've always had a good sense of humor. Blessings!
Lolol Littlest Pet Shop animals sure have changed since I was little with seals, whales, and kangaroos! Tommy was hilarious about how terrible his guesses were but a lot of those animals had the same shape I doubt I’d be able to tell if I were blindfolded
I was having a really bad day and I saw this video in my notifications and it cheered me up so much. You are so cute Tommy! You make everybody smile! Keep it up :)
I've not long discovered your videos but I love them! They make me laugh and feed my curiosity. I grew up with a family friend who was blind and you've answered questions I was scared to ask! I used to walk past him in the street and say hi or wave as I walked passed. Completely forgot he was blind and I had to tell it was me 😂 I wondered why he never waved back 😂 Thankyou for educating us... the clueless
I just thought of something! I wonder what would happen if a blind-from-birth person took a psychedelic like LSD! They wouldn't get any visuals. Or would they? Wow, that's crazy.
The LPS animals are actually a really good idea. They may be a more abstract and exaggerated than real animals, but they still have distinct features that help you tell them apart.
Time to eat some spaghetti now Tommy. You said in a video, last winter I think, that you were gonna do that and a few other things when you'd reach 500.000 subscribers.
This was the first notification I’ve received for one of your videos in months! That really stinks that RUclips tries to set you up for failure like that! Your channel is the best there is.
I hope he doesn't feel bad because I sure as heck couldn't guess half of it without looking at the answer. They're super inconsistent with fur, eyes, and any type of detail, not to mention the weird proportions. For anyone blind who tries to figure these out, I salute your bravery.
the guy that turned tommy's drawings into braile is such a sweet suscriber!
Alessandra Santamaría Thank you.

"it's got four feet, ill say it's a duck!"
Tommy should draw a duck :)
What? Four feet, two outward. It has got to be a duck.
He doesnt know what a duck looks like
Ieditedthatin Well obviously, he dosent know what anything properly looks like
Harrpy G They mean he never touched it
I always find it interesting how Tommy uses phrases like “that’s what that looks like?” and “I’ve never seen one of those before!”
It really shows how we always speak in terms of sight that it makes more sense grammatically for Tommy to describe sensing something through his other senses as “seeing” them than to use either the word for another sense or a general term like “I’ve never sensed that before”.
Austin saying “I’ve never sensed that before” would make him sound like a mystic or something I feel like he should say in terms of feeling
Plague Plays Games Kinda like Atheists saying, ”God Damn” and, ”For the love of God!” it's too far implemented into our language.
Wow! The one where Tommy could feel his own drawings was so cool and creative.
Thank you. (I was the sender)
Clayton Hull you’re awesome
Clayton Hull how do you print his drawings indented?
Bambi c Either he had a special scrapbooking printer that cuts things, or he printed it out and poked holes manually I'm guessing
Sorry for the late response. All I did was print off the drawings and taped them on Index cards. Then I took a needle and started stabbing the lines.

I doubt he needs you to defend him. He is a fully grown man
@@redtukeguy8968 No one said Tommy _needs_ him to
I couldn't tell what the iguana was at all, and I doubt I would have been able to figure out the kangaroo or the beaver either.
"Try to guess what animals these are!"
*sends him nearly identical funko pop animals with massive heads*
Fast forward five years to Tommy arguing with someone about how beavers are made of hard plastic.
They’re not funky pops, they’re LPS, made by a different company (and definitely a lot older) to be fair, they are a little unrealistic but I think it was just the ones she sent, she sent pretty similar ones
"a little unrealistic"

Yay! :D I'm so happy! That was really fun to see you guess the LPS! :D Thanks so much!

You were great! :D
Me too.
you are awesome! :)

"THIS IS A KNOIFE!!" God I love Tommy. Even when I'm so sad he can make me feel so happy and grateful.
The one thing I appreciate is his love for the feel of objects. We don't really think that way at all and when he says it, it seems so odd but its also very amazing. I love these videos so much.
I think you are an amazing person with a positive attitude. You always put a smile on my face.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Nathan Kerr Thanks for replying.
He's so humble and childish, always excited to learn and fascinated about everything. I think we should all aspire to be like him.
He’s such a happy, positive man. Love him!
Tommy even visually looking at these things he don't represent the true thing properly. I didn't know what half of these things were either LOL
“Squirrel’s tails aren’t furry”... tommy I’m about to blow your mind
For a blind guy, you sure like to look on the bright side.
Yeah and that must be hard, being blind and all.
I like that Tommy's squirrels don't have furry tails and ducks have four feet :)
There are whale pet shops tho! :D
I love how positive this channel is there's rarely negative comments and his subs are always so joyful and supportive 10/10
I loved your description of what you thought was a duck, Tommy 😂
I LOVE his reaction to the inside of a computer! He's a great big geek. :) I miss this channel.
"Go on! Really??!" Tommy you're a beautiful man with an amazing heart and radiating enthusiasm. I wish you were still doing these videos, I'd enjoy watching you smile to unboxing a navy warship replica.
the pet shop animals was a GREAT idea. that was so interesting to watch
Thanks! :D
The funny part is they're so distorted half the time I can't figure out what they're supposed to be either even looking at them :)
Mallory Kane i think that's the worst part...... It would be great if those are realistic figures, but those cost a lot
"It's a democratic tail" love this guy I would spend my life trying to get this man his eyecite back
cite
Facial scrubbers... come on man few could even tell what those things are by looking at them even!
i love how when they were talking about the hard drive he kept saying “seen” because in his mind it’s normal and he does
I want to live life like him
"It was all downhill, but it was a nice ride down the hill"
7:00 “Never seen the inside of a computer” well I’m glad, because if you had, you would have been lying to us this whole time lol
Those animals seem pretty difficult since they're cartoony versions of the animal and not scaled properly
I love that he uses the verb “see” like he says “I’ve never seen this before!” Lol
I remember him talking about how annoying it was to change all the verbs, might as well just go along with what people expect to hear. Everyone knows any means anyway
It’s interesting how happy he always is ☺️😁
I'm crying see him, always laughing all the time such a happy person
oh wow i actually never go for merch but that drawing of yourself is just wonderful
9:27 "The tail is a little tail which sorta points to the left. It's a Democratic tail!" Tommy has achieved comedy.

This guys positivity is amazing "sure we went downhill, but it was a nice ride downhill" like c'mon now, that's just awesome
What a genuine guy.
katie w. Cute profile picture
You're insane sending a blind man a knife and making him feel it, even if it's closed
Some Dude I think you underestimate him. I am sure he has had plenty of practice in being cautious with unknown objects.
Nerys Ghemor yeah you're probably right, still doesn't seem wise
Quike Lopez how did you type this comment
Quike Lopez cool
And I'm not insane. The Hospital said I'm free to go.
Been watching a couple of your videos today and it's been a great treat, thank you! Best wishes from Sweden!
You can’t help but smile while watching him 💜

Identifying the animals would have been more interesting if they were accurate representations of real animals.
He's already made a video on that
Two feet forward two feet back, it’s a duck ! 😂
