[@theoemile2477]

This video kinda has the vibes of La Trahison des Images, bringing our attention to the falsity of acting in amusing ways. I loved it, and the crew did indeed do a banger job, armed with nothing but a leaf blower and their wits. Very cool!

The image of Tom sitting waist deep fully clothed in a bathtub with his classic red shirt is hilarious.

i rewatch this 5 years later and i think if you want to make this look like music videos, then we can check how similar it is with the volume turned off. and my conclusion is if you don't do your hand gesture and instead do typical gestures on mv, this video would be as perfect as i can hope for.

[@kentslocum]

If educational videos were filmed like music videos, Tom Scott would be a superstar.

[@akhmedbejli8657]

Tom: 'The opening shot is a little confusing and a little unreal' Me, an intellectual: 'Of course! Who would jump in a pool with a suit?' Tom: 'It's because the video is played back at the wrong speed' Me: (`ಠ_ ಠ )

I think the video being played back at incorrect times/ wrong frame rate is probably why I’ve never liked music videos unless they were animated, this was genuinely eye opening!

"It's not a song." Waiting for someone to either autotune it or make a song that somehow matches up with the video.

Aaah, now I get it. You can get it from youtube, no problem, but it's worse to listen to because the video has extra sounds that make no sense otherwise. They can also be very annoying (concert crowd yelling and shouting)
