Thanks for the comment, wouldn't have noticed that with Premium

[@welcomeback2mychannel]

that didn't happen to me, the ad came about half a second after the blobby representation of Beck appeared, making said appearance a flash on the screen that was mildly frightening.

[@Hand-in-Shot_Productions]

For me, the ad break came _right_ after Jay said "Beck"!

I seriously want to know how Geoff stayed perfectly still like that. Incredible.

[@DavidBromage]

They told him to think of allotments.

[@fosterfuchs]

I wonder if Geoff secretly knows how to race cars. His stoicism in this video reminded me of the Stig.

[@Marahute0]

6:12 The level of detailed humour is fantastic. "Back entrance, for deliveries and being fired"

[@Hand-in-Shot_Productions]

I just noticed it! Indeed, that sign is fantastically humorous! Thanks for mentioning it!

No one is talking about how at 4:20 he showed the station roundels in order of his “Every Tube Station Song”? 🎶 _Kenton, Kennington, Fairlop, Farringdon, Mile End Baronscourt, Maida Vale_ 🎵

Also notice the background music

[@12many4you]

Im so happy for you and your wife. Such a great and fulfilling step in your life. Just don't let having a baby keep you from giving surfshark the love and attention it deserves

[@mediagirl]

I almost sprayed out my drink when totally randomly suddenly Geoff appeared as Frank Pick! That was SO meta!

[@Brooschlee]

The only thing that would have improved it is if Jago Hazzard had played Yerkes. That would have made this a bigger deal than Avengers: Endgame.

[@MarioFanGamer659]

4:11 I was actually wondering why Geoff didn't appear at the beginning considering he's a classic example of a railway network enthusiast. Turns out, he was already used for something else.

[@anniesoernym]

Geoff's mom made an appearance, though! 😄

Jay: Geoff, would you like to be in my video about the tube map? Geoff: Only if I don't have to do any acting. Jay: I can work with that.

[@kevsonkeyboard]

As an American (California) visitor to London a few weeks ago (left a few days after the Queen's death), the tube was fairly quick and directions clear. The Beck map served well in showing the tube path and where to change stations. I did use other maps/google maps to help find out which station gets us to which place closest/fastest (e.g. Chinatown, Westminster, Heathrow Airport)

[@Phil_Cleaver]

Are you really implicating yourself in the Queens death? Did you really make your getaway on the Tube using the Beck map?

[@kevsonkeyboard]

@@Phil_Cleaver just a coincidence 😉 Just glad I got to see Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle before they all closed due to the Queen's passing.

[@andyjay729]

Some American transit networks have taken some cues from London's scale-sacrificing diagrammatic approach, like Chicago, Boston, and of all cities, Los Angeles. As a former frequent user of LA's rail transit system (which is a bit better than you might think), I've only recently noticed that I think they actually the same or a similar font as the London Tube.

[@toobig7150]

@@andyjay729 if there's one thing US could learn from... Pretty much everywhere is to get a public transport system running, just look at places like Andorra, medellin and goddamn Askal have better public transport than the entire US

My favourite tiny detail of this video is the almost imperceptible twitch in Harry Beck's smile when Jay says "no friends" at 6:04

[@michalgivony6592]

This video is a cohesive, comprehensive, coordinated, connected, complete charm! Congratulations to you and your partner on becoming parents 🥰 I hear surfsharks are very joyful babies. My favorite bits of the video were the sounds you gave the random passersby characters; a raven's call for the pigeon, and a sort of slightly high pitched mongolian shaman's throat singing\irked Yoda sound for the school boy.

[@jadeforeman131]

Thank you! Also, I love comments that point out the tiny things some people miss. Makes all the effort (mostly made by Jay) worth it.

The fact that Jay had to actually go to a restaurant and buy a plate of spaghetti AND get more to fill on his plate *just* to say, "..and looked like a giant plate of spaghetti" is true dedication. or is it the other way round?

[@robertwilloughby8050]

You do know that Jay might have asked for this because he likes spaghetti, and wanted a way to work it into the video, rather than it just cropping up as a gag.....😉

[@welcomeback2mychannel]

probably wrote the spaghetti line, felt like some spaghetti, then got some and worked that into the script too. That's what happens to me anyway

[@caseymilledge1559]

I;m an avid fan of No Rolls Barred so seeing Jon Gracey cameo in this video was a treat lol. It's like being out on an errand and happening upon a friend. Great stuff!

"Scale could absolutely go f*** itself" Excuse me, while I pause and control my laughter.... The fact that Jay basically says this with a straight face. I wonder if there are bloopers of these... :D

[@VexSG]

don't ask jay foreman what he was doing 4 minutes and 30 seconds into "The Tube Map nearly looked very different"

[@88porpoise]

After growing up in a very rural area, when I first moved to a city with a transit system and a map like that I hated it. It was annoying and gave me no idea where I physically was. But there I grew to understand it and why it is so awesome and grew to love it. Not I often still don't have any clue where I am located within the city, I just don't care because the only thing that matters is how to get between where I am/want to go and the nearest station.

[@roxannepearls901]

So wonderful to see Jay again. Congratulations on your new addition! 🎉Also, a nice surprise to see Geoff in a vid that includes an “equivalent to 15 floors “ sign 😂

[@joshuarosen6242]

Not only does he have his new addition, it looks like he and Jade have had a baby as well.

[@CCABPSacsach]

Yeah but babies don’t protect your internet, keep your IP address hidden and keep your data safe, nor do they have 3200+ servers in over 95+ countries. Additionally, if you use the code “jayforeman” on a baby, it won’t give an 83% discount nor 3 months free. Oh, and there’s no 30 day money back guarantee…
