This needs to be a yearly competition now to see who gets to hold the title of "Best Tom" for the upcoming year.
With a new Tom joining each year.
Who else wants it to be Tom Hardy?
More toms, with eliminating rounds😂
@@timothymclean I nominate GeoWizard Tom Davies
Like food battle
The fact that they missed the chance to call this event "Tompetition" drives me crazy.
Truer words were never said
A tale of two toms
Tomscotition or Tomskatition
Either way, it was much tomfoolery.
lmaoo
14:32 TomSka wanted to win at Battleships so bad, he decided to immediately declare himself the winner by saying "I Won" (i1)
lmaaaaoo
true that I - 1 sounds like I won
Meanwhile, KTaNE players: "India One"
Because he could see Tom's ships.
and he did win
Come on, the 40 year old movie one was easy, like star wars 4 and 5, all the disney movies before 82, james bond, indiana jones, so easy.
I was rooting for Tom the whole time, but I couldn't believe Tom took it home. Well played, Tom, and better luck next time Tom
Spoilers!!!
Jeez, no spoilers!
Wait, Tom won?
@@WillowStarshower No, didn't you watch the video? It was Tom that won, not Tom
@@cl4655 Didn't YOU watch the video? TOM won, not TOM!
Dear goodness what a blessed crossover. For the next one, I wanna see Tom meeting Scott the Woz to see who's the better Scott
Yes
Yes
And then Tom Scott vs Tom Scott Plus
if James Hoffman could get Tom into coffee, maybe Scott can get him into videogames
Genius
17:11 this is my favorite scene in the video, tom after thinking "ah yes, tomska has discovered my fatal error and shall finish the game swiftly now" and then hearing tomska say the COMPLETELY wrong thing, and tom has to re evaluate how hes losing
Real "eating the chess pieces while the smart kid isn't looking" energy there.
that rock-paper-scissors was a certified anime moment. tom fell victim to the classic blunder. perfectly executed, tom.
(and when I say anime moment, that’s not hyperbole; a character in hunter x hunter literally pulled almost the exact same gambit but even more brazen, and the outcome was the same too)
@@Pablo360able who?
I love that this is a spoiler without being a spoiler.
@@Pablo360able bruh, you're referencing Rock, Paper, Scissors in anime, and somehow _not_ referring to No Game, No Life? Incredible.

I think we can all agree that this was a resounding victory for Tom.
I think we can
Absolutely, Tom crushed it
I mean I really though Tom had it right up until the end.
Tom was great
But Tom really put the pressure on until the end there
This is the crossover I needed. For years, my sibling (Tomska fan) and I (Tom Scott fan) have been telling each other, “Oh, there’s a new X video out,” to momentary excitement, then slight disappointment.
Sometimes i wish i have siblings for stuff like this
Lmao I also have a sibling who watches Tomska and we got to make jokes along the lines of “Tom was the best Tom” for a good few days.
It's really hard being a fan of both and trying to tell people which one you're talking about
X video 💀
Several others have mentioned it already but please make this a yearly tradition. Heck, maybe each year you add another Tom into the mix?
tom harlock comes to mind?
Tom battle royale
Or just do it with a different Tom each year
Tom Daley
@@wafaatqiya but howd you know who the TRUE best tom is
Really expected Tom to win that one, but Tom managed to really surprise me.
Which Tom
Did you seriously spoil the video ?? 😒 smh why do you have to ruin everything
@@patfre That Tom
Why would you spoil that Tom won.
@@patfre you don't know Tom?
That was by far the most tense game of rock-paper-scissors I have ever witnessed... Well done Tom, and you as well Tom.
since james may was in rock paper scissors wc
I like how even after they both learned that the Blockbuster prompt was really "movies before 1982", they continued to try naming the earliest films known to mankind
I know right, they've got all the films of the 70s and even some from the 80s. That's a lotta very common knowledge stuff that they just ignored!
Not the birth of a nation tho 😭😭
I would've said Tron and hoped the timer ran out while arguing. July 1982 so barely 40 years, one of the things I happen to know.
if nothing else, Star Wars came out in the 70s.
Can't believe they both blanked on Star Wars!
"Winner 2022" implies that Battle of the Toms is going to be an annual thing and I, for one, think that's a fantastic idea
Make it a tournament with lots of Toms.
I love how you can say that “Tom was the best” or “Tom did bad that uno game” and there would almost be no spoilers
I can’t believe Tom S. lost
@@dx87gaming31 i know i mean who would thought Tom.s could do it!
@@dx87gaming31 that would be a spoiler, as tomska is technically tom r.
It's about how you say it: There's a difference between Tom and *Tom* .
But Tom didnt say Uno when he only had one card. So this win should be invalid
As an avid fan of both Toms, this was a Delight. Having RPS as the last game was absolute genius! This needs to happen again with more Toms
Who abbreviates rock paper scissors?
Can I study you in a lab?
Were you created in one?
I'm in a moral quandary?
We need a RUclips Tom championship

Tom Stanton, off the top of my head.
As a Tom, what an excellent display of Tom'smanship from both Tom's
you should go on next year
Yes, great tomfoolery all around!
At work there's a discussion list for Mat(t)s.
very tomly from all the toms
I wish you to meet with othet Tom on Lateral sometimes in the future nd let it be the battle of Tom
Normally I am always rooting for a person at the end.
But this time, both personalities are so amazing, I cannot choose.
I'm rn at 25 minutes and I thought that my brain would choose a person at this point, but it only made it worse.
Both people are amazing, both Toms. This is going to be interesting.
EDIT: I cannot believe Tom won.
tom is great but im rooting for tom right now
Personally i prefer Tom
Why does everyone choose Tom? It's obviously Tom who is superior
Is this an unpopular opinion? I prefer Tom over Tom. Sorry not sorry
It should have been Tom
The big brain move from Tom in the final game was a stroke of genius
Tom was four parallel universes ahead of Tom
I didn’t realise there was such psychological warfare in paper scissors rock.
Tom also really celebrated his victory in the most Tom way I could possibly imagine
I love how this is not a spoiler
And that's why he was in Mensa.
Absolute incredible move by the producer to whip out rock paper scissors as the last game, to both their groans.
@Ignatius Q. Snerd, II, Esq. It worked on two levels. Easier to plan, and a great curveball for the end.
The pure Chaotic Evil of producers picking rock paper scissors for the last game is chef's kiss
That was actually a really cool sponsorship segment, but frankly I think Tom deserved to win.
Definitely not. I'm surprised you would choose Tom.
HOW DARE YOU! TOM deserved to win, not that idiot TOM! How could you say such a horrible thing?
Which one?
@@maccorehenniwatchbro, Tom. who else did you think he was talking about?
@@CranyUnknown I honestly believed he meant Tom. I stand corrected.

I am CRYING about the fact that TomSka needed a full five seconds to recover from realising the simple fact that 1982 was (then) 40 years ago.
"there has to be a logical strategy to this" "there is, and I'm afraid I know it" "I hate the way you are". Just an amazing exchange. 🤣
And then he loses anyway
Well the logical strategy isn't foolproof. And he does say that he didn't know a strategy for ship placement.
Which he demonstrated promptly as it is why he knew when he had lost.
Grouping can confuse your opponent if sunk ships aren't called. In this game there are no upsides to grouping though
He just had to be that one friend.
These two have such drastically different brands and vibes. This is fantastic.
And yet they both know Dodie
Such a fun dynamic between them
Tom's delivery of "Don't look at me." at the end of boggle is such a core emotion. XD
One, this should be an annual thing, and two, there should be more Toms coming to play.
I think so, or Toms bring their team (tech diff vs the Try hards)
Enough Toms for Group stages before the knockouts, I hope?
Actually, that's a brilliant idea. The annual "Tom" competition.
As many Internet Toms as you can find, competing for the title of "Best Tom".
(Bonus points if anyone can track down MySpace's Tom.)
The trophy *did* say 2022...
@@wesleyjackson847 the tomnament
that was legitimately the fastest game of uno ive ever seen in my whole life lmao
update: i just finished watching the video and i'd like to add that that was the most tense game of rock paper scissors ive ever seen in my whole life as well
To be fair, playing a wildcard as the last card is against the rules
@@theStumblinbear they were playing house rules
I don't think it could have possibly been quicker? Because Tom never picked up and there's already the minimum number of players.
Worst thing about the Uno one.. TomSka didn't call Uno, and Tom Scott didn't call him out on it.
@@stone5against1 he did say "and thats uno", and it seems like they both acknowledged it
TomSka's Rock Paper Scissors trick was so absolutely flawlessly executed. The moment he did that I thought he might've been going for the dupe but he acted it so perfectly. Egad.
The crossover we didn’t expect but all needed
I thought it was inevitable
They’ve interacted before so I wouldn’t say it’s unexpected
@@JosephWithaG Yet we absolutely needed it.
I clicked the video so fast
I'm really hoping that the year printed on the trophy means it will be an annual thing
I love how Tom starts with "ah, battleship game theory" and then puts two ships touching each other and promptly loses. XD
I would have gone for a uniformly distributed version of the Tom (Scott)'s battleship strategy instead of scanning top-down, since I feel it is likely for humans to make use of the full board space, so this might converge faster?
I think one of the better strategies does something similar, but with a proper probability density heatmap instead. Not sure if it is *optimal* against the average, untrained human's strategy, since it's possible implementing some system to attempt to guess groupings may or may not offer an advantage as well.
So in dumbdumb words put your stuff randomly or near the bottom right. Ok. Easy.
I appreciate the spur-of-the-moment kinda scuffed quality of this as well because it just looks like fun rather than something super planned out and performative. Hope to see more types of video collabs like this on your free time.
24:05 "How many times do I need to explain to you that nothing matters anyway?" Tom's nihilism is chef's kiss
I read that at the exact time he said it... But I guess that doesn't matter
He is British after all.
I've been thinking about it for a while, but this cements it. This second channel might be the best move Tom has ever made. The content here can be longform and interesting in so many different ways. I literally just watched two grown men play several childhood games for almost half an hour, and I was captivated the whole time. When it ended I poked my mouse thinking "Can't have been 27 minutes already", but it had.
Next time they should try modern card/board games like Exploding Kittens 😁
Ngl, took me a few seconds to realize you were talking about your computer mouse and not a pet.
read this and went "27? that can't be!" because it really did feel like less than ten
Heh, the same reason I watch Game Grumps 😆
Can't believe the entire thing came down to ONE rock-paper-scissors game, that is just too funny! Absolutely delightful video, guys :D
I REALLY want to see you get more Toms together for this next year. RUclipsrs, artists, friends, random people who signed up - as many as you can get.
call it tommageddon!!

The fantasticness of Tom Scott Plus comes from the way the show always finds the perfect idea for each guest. When you've got names as similar as Tom Sca and TomSkott, there's no better collab than a showdown.

Last night I looped the final moments of that UNO perfect game 20:15.
Every time I was laughing more and more.. that last card moment get me so much after a while I was belly laughing so hard it was actually therapeutic and today I feel completely restored.
Thank you Toms!
The trophy being slammed on the table out of nowhere while the music swelled and they laughed absolutely killed me
I’m going to need the two Tom’s to become a regular series now. You two make such a great contrast and fun dynamic
but not too much else their polar opposites might neutralize and we end up with two average Toms 😂
The most underrated part about this video are the captions, I love how they’re colored differently.
he bought some damn subtitles /ref
"You choose to be like this every day and you could stop at any time."
"No I couldn't!"
And that's why we love you both.
The scissors double bluff was genuinely insane
The fact that TomSka clearly had that ready to go before they started filming shows you that the ASDFmovie guy can actually plan ahead
19:58 love that he organizes his card by color. I do that, too.
Literally EVERYONE does that.
@@KelpTheGreat Nope
@@KelpTheGreat you'd be surprised
@@KelpTheGreat not really
That was loads of fun! Thank you Tom, and Tom for all the Tomfoolery.
15:38 the seriousness in his voice when he declares the hit is honestly kind of chilling.
This is glorious, you guys have 11/10 chemistry and there's constant laughter
17:15 we always called it the patrol boat. Maybe you could do a "what do you call the ships in battleship" survey akin to the Christmas song survey :D
19:28 _good._
Carrier (occupies 5 spaces), Battleship (4), Cruiser (3), Submarine (3), and Destroyer (2).

@@DavidJamesHenry The variant I had had a 3-long Destroyer and a 2-long Patrol Boat, cutting out the Cruiser
Should have brought in Drachinifel to clear up any confusion.
*Drachinifel Arrives*
Toms: So, what should we call the ships?
Drach: Well, given that it's a plastic model with very little detail I could be wrong here, but the 3-hole ship looks like a Regioni Class cruiser of the 1890s Royal Italian Navy...
(5) carrier, (4) battle ship, (3s) sub and destroyer, and (2) patrol boat
tomska saying “it’s just not the vibe” instead of “miss” is brilliant
When looking at your respective channels one really wouldn't expect this kind of synergy
25:43 You can identify the second one person's ego shattered and one person's ego grew 3 times LMAO

Star Wars is over 40 years old! Neither of them said Star Wars. Fascinating-
while I love everything about this video, 8:11 is what always makes me laugh. The sheer emotion in Tom's voice MAKES this bit.

The ongoing TomSkatt multiverse/bromance makes me genuinely elated.
The dynamic between the Toms is so wholesome and bizarre; how two RUclips stalwarts from vastly different fields of experience and expertise, and similarly disparate personalities can gel together so seamlessly is just… so great! It feels like the two hemispheres of the brain finally going on a long-overdue playdate, and discovering that they really enjoy each other’s company. Scott: the reserved, calculated, logical side. Ska: the witty, impulsive, emphatic counter.
I demand that this becomes an ongoing series, or at the very least, we are treated to a broader TurboPunch - TechDif crossover.
Thank you.
You've encapsulated it perfectly. The dynamic is just 👌
please, please dont call it tomskatt
Instead of TomSkatt, I propose TomSquared.
BROMANCE💀💀💀
And now I'm thinking of the Toms singing Left Brain, Right Brain by Bo Burnham.
i love these two together because oh god, they could not be more different if they were trying
I honestly wouldve never predicted that Tom would win. well played
I had my money on Tom, but it happens...
This literally couldn't have gone better, every round was hilarious!
you should make this a series, see if you can get in touch with other famous toms and compete to see who is better

@@KyunaCookies Tom Scott also put Tomska in a cupboard with a skeleton lie detector.
And Tom Scott was the celebrity guest in the best asdfmovie sketch of all time.
Now I need Tom Scott vs. Scott The Woz: who is the best Scott?
How bizarre... I found Tom Scott many years ago because I told my dad about TomSka and he misheard me and started playing a Tom Scott video XD
"NO How could you do this to our poor little building??"
"i have won" that smile makes me want to smile too
I remember a friend telling me about "Tom Scott" a while back, and in my poor listening I heard "TomSka" and ran with it. Funny seeing the 2 actually cross paths like this
As wholesome as a tall glass of milk. Please make this an annual tradition this time of year!
After seeing Tom appear on Toms channel for that short bit near the beginning recently, I was very hopeful for a collab between them. Thank you Tom for setting up this hilarious video with Tom.
Okay, so... this needs to be a yearly thing. This was way too much fun.
I think Tom picked this crossover because he realised that Tomska is the other three technical difficulties combined into one person
I've always wanted to see two absolute Goliaths clash, this is amazing
Genuinely love both Tom Scott and TomSka, this is mesmerizing.
Edit: Also, I just remembered, Elliott Gough edits for both channels, so this also works so well lmao
I didn't know Eliot edits for Tom Scott as well
@@therealmckoy6772
He edited the TechDif adventures.
@@therealmckoy6772 I've seen on a few of the gameshow videos that Elliott is credited at the end for editing, which makes sense, editing for two different British youtubers named Tom
They're not Goliaths, they're Toms. That is the entire point of the video.
Check the Crdits :)
the collab i never knew i needed until now! this was so fun and hilarious, i hope they do even more together
This was the most intense board game session I've ever seen.
I through that Tom had it in the bag, but then Tom made a comeback and managed to even the score.
Classic tom
This is the iconic duo we didn’t know we needed, but now that we got this, this should definitely become an annual tradition
the one single marble was hilarious. also, both of them giggling at C4 was funny as hell too.
Tom: And now, a graphic about the actual rules of Uno.
Me: Oh cool, he's gonna show us the differences between the official rules and the more famous house rules
Tom: *scrolls the rules through the video*
Me: You know what it's my fault for not expecting that
my reaction as well 😅
The best part Is that they still used house rules so I didn't matter anyway
I need this to be a yearly series, it’s so goooood.
20:40 I love that they read the rules, noted that they were adding the house rule of stacking and then broke the rules immediately by ending on a draw 4.
Technically heads or tails is a game. So tom won 6 out of ten games. And tom 2 maths and being Scottish 4 out of ten games.
14:23 tom scott 2 said heads and it was tails. tom of checkers and wearing glasses is the default winner.
Playing table top games with Tom and Tom would be the most fun day of my life
i appreciate the color coded subtitles so much, props to whoever did that
Same
TomSka and Tom Scott playing against each other is literally perfect content.
What a legendary colab. As soon as I saw the board games and both their faces I knew the video was made for me
my two favourite toms…. not the crossover we expected but the crossover we needed
Way to go, Tom! As for you, Tom, you put forth a valiant effort.
I've seriously never felt so tense watching a game of rock, paper, scissors before.
It's the most universally tension-inducing game, yet this was the most tense I've ever felt from it.
I enjoyed this collab so much, I’d love to see another one. Glad to see the Toms getting along
"I think I got cocky 'cause I won the last one."
"... I think I got desperate 'cause I didn't."
Tom and Tom have two drastically different personalities, but they work so well together. This video is great
Also, Tom breaking out “Birth of a Nation” as his answer during blockbuster was an interesting choice
25:48 the fact that I was like "tomska did scissors in the counting demo(1 2 3 go vs 1 2 go), so he'll expect tom (scott) to do rock, so he'll do paper, so tom needs to do scissors"
And tom actually did rock and tomska paper
The fact, too, that Tomska knew Tom would notice that, assume Tomska was signaling something even unconsciously, and try to capitalize off of it is amazing.
This is the real reason Tom Scott is stepping back.
I always thought you can not put ships to touch, even horizontally. They should have a gap of one on all sides. This way when you sink the ship, you get to surround it with white pegs on all sides.
That’s how the paper puzzle works, but not the game unless you include it in the house rules.
For a more challenging jenga experience with your normal set of jenga pieces, stack them on their narrow sides in groups of 5, and if desired, space them out with additional layers of 3 to use all the pieces. In a 72 piece set, that'd be four short 3-piece layers and twelve tall 5 piece layers--or you could just leave two out. It's so much more tense than normal jenga.
I was surprised they didn't do chess clock Jenga as Tom made a video on it ages ago
Jenga for Neurosurgeons you say?
I kept screaming in the Blockbuster section "A New Hope"
I love how worked-up he is at 24:20, “i REALLY, really care about this”
Please Tom and Tom, do this next year as well.
It was super fun to watch.
Tom played incredibly well.
Congrats tom on winning.
I picked up on what Tom did in that final game, and I love that Tom got psyched out by it.
If you're wanting more board games, Tom, No Rolls Barred have had Tomska on before and I'm sure they'd love to have you on as a guest.
yes this
The last game was like L vs Light, the strategy, the mindgames, the similar names, the insistence on victory. Incredible competition. Can't wait for next year's Best Tom
Waited years for this collab
I couldn't stop laughing as the two of you got more invested as the games went on. What a fantastic crossover!
