This is so beautiful. The way that people rally to show each other different ways to cope with pain is actually so sweet and wonderful.

[@DietButter]

The fact that players act out full plays in an RP server is so damn cute

Red Dead 2 is my therapy, no lie.. Whenever I'm down or having trouble with something, I hop on and just relax..

[@chapno4255]

i get depressed when i play it, because its so lonely and its not that alive when you play it for too long. You realize the mechanics behind the game after a while (how the npc reply and how they behave)

[@Tsudkyk]

It’s ridiculous how therapeutic a trot across the country side can be. Some days I will casually ride from the annesberg mines to the gaptooth mines, collecting pelts and other goodies along the way.

[@miraekim-qj4kz]

you are being avoidant. its not doing anything for you

[@doomwagon]

The saga of Scrump Toggins continues to be one of the most moving pieces of media I've seen in awhile lol. Hope you're feeling a bit better, Thomas! We appreciate you!

[@collingoggins7589]

Scrump Toggins is my cousin

[@mooose106]

Amen to that everyone of these role play videos has had me enthralled. The whole idea of these servers and the people's dedication to the character is awesome its making me want to play again

[@therealmaccoy251]

Scrump’s voice got 10x lower and now sounds like Arthur. Run it, run it!

[@jamesmeehan9363]

Your ability to play characters + the cinematic nature of Red Dead is a great combo

[@Xaglacionn]

The whisky bottle swaying into the shot like an intrusive thought as Scrump's thinking "Get it together" made me laugh.

[@PuckeredMeatball]

"Iiiit's me! Mr. Glubglub, here to help you with any unnecessary sad feelings!"

[@Chauder]

Your voice range is so awesome! I'm an Animator on Solar Opposites, so I've heard your voice probably more than a lot of people! Glad you're keeping this up, Red Dead RP is some of the most fun I've ever had!

[@HagsRideOrDie]

I never liked typical Online play because it's such a troll fest. But watching this I want to do RDR2 RP!

[@Jayess-c]

I just discovered your channel the other day and am incredibly thankful that you do this. I wish more actors did. Its awesome to see you guys make these characters up and improvising as you go

[@Cosmicman50]

I really appreciated adding the subtitles at 19:31. The noise sometimes drowns out the further away/quieter voices. Thank you for taking the time to add them in.

[@ShooklynTV]

[@sctvfan1313]

I'm sitting here, loving the start of this episode a day then the banger TITLE CARD drops and im like... damn Scrump is Hollywood now!!! F'ing love this series... thank you for doing and sharing this

[@Prplsmee_]

The character of Scrump is so captivating and relatable, which goes to show the talent and imagination of Thomas Middleditch. Great series and can’t wait for more to come. 💜

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

24:00 damn I don’t know any of these characters, other than Scrump but you had me tearing up with emotion. Y’all are some fantastic people and incredible actors.❤😢😊 I would happily watch this kind of stuff all the time rather than anything Hollywood or big TV is producing.

[@dubukimph1922]

this series could literally be a dlc story of rdr2,, the VA the plot the sentimental scenes. masterpiece (hire them rockstar)

[@kf3914]

I just stumbled onto this channel. Can you explain what is going on? What is this series (and how can I join too)

[@dubukimph1922]

@@kf3914 it aint the regular rdr2 online mate, it is RP (roleplay) a quite modded version. Honestly it would be difficult to join their dedicated server. The vid is just the shortened version of the actual series in his twitch acc. Go check it out

[@Cratevoodoo]

Tom you make the best Red Dead RP content I've ever watched. You thread real conflict and turmoil into Scrump so well, I get emotionally attached to that character. You're a helluva an actor and seem to be a helluva cool guy too. Thanks for hanging it out there and exposing your own vulnerability in these vids while also displaying your awesome-assed improv skills.

[@RealPane]

Man I'm a huge fan of your acting career. I'm not sure what made you decide to use those skills in RP, but it is just amazing. The effort you put into these is well appreciated. Thank you!

[@sethgrantfilms]

The "amen" from his friend, when Scrump is yelling off the edge made me laugh out loud in my office.

[@JadieBean]

Loved that part so much 😂💗

[@deepg7084]

Especially when you consider he gave an "amen" when Scrump said "what man doesn't have a single vice", then he later says he doesn't have a vice lol. He was being a good friend I suppose.

[@kimpiggleton]

The waterfall scene made me cry...that was so sweet.

[@bradpoer]

As someone who stumbled across WildRP in one of your 1st videos on the server; and then separately started working my way through Verts’ entire ‘Ballad of Bazz Kerrigan’ stream playlist a few weeks ago (only about 1/2 way through at this point), I can’t tell you how much joy hearing the Kerrigan and Ogelthrorpe names popping up in here brought me. Your negotiation dialogue was straight up gorgeous, Sir. It makes me so happy to see your skill and love overlapped with this astounding crew if folks I’m getting to know from afar. A whole new art form this stuff is, if you ask me. Thanks for uploading this, TM- it’s much appreciated. ☺️

[@Tilted_Krow]

its an honor and a prevlige to be able to rp with you sir. scrump is an amazing character and while i didnt know of u before i think its safe to say scrump is my favorite performance of yours. but maybe im just a little bias. thx for the long arm😆

[@rinrennee]

Yes, more Wild RP! Happy new year everyone, hope everyone is doing great :) Edit- Sorry you had the blues while filming this one. Hopefully you’re good now. Also, major props to the artist/animator who did the Scrump logo, it looks fantastic.

[@CheeryBerserkr]

Watching this live was a trip... honestly one of the craziest and most fun things to have been around for online wise. Overall such a perfectly tragic set of events and you used it all so well! Benny was too damn good at the end, even rewatching it gets me emotional and makes me love the SOB. Love your acting and your streams! Keep it up Tom

[@ArmieSlammer]

Best Red Dead RPer out there. Amazing stuff Thomas!

[@evangrande5461]

It’s crazy to see you in commercials and then to see that you’re super into a hobby I also love. Keep posting RP it’s awesome! I’d love to play with you sometime

[@Ahzpayne]

People. They're just like people.

[@-qj6ps]

He’s not just in commercials he voice acted co lead with Kevin hart and Ed helms in a feature film

[@stephensniff]

His best work in my opinion is playing lead role in the TV show Silicon Valley. If you haven’t seen it, you have to check it out, is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.

[@maxwellbarker5942]

Hello Thomas so happy your doing this character again absolutely love him

[@charlesbingham]

The fact that bazzs son Boyd was brought up on this is amazing

[@pannoci2049]

yo Thomas, you're brother used to be my Drama teacher! what a legend! I've seen pretty much every film you're in, glad to see ya have a KZbin channel!! :) Red Dead 2 is the best man!!

[@user-dj7nu4ik6t]

I found your channel recently, and I’ve already watched all of the rdr2 rp videos. You and everyone else involved in the rp has great improv and script building skills. Please keep making these!

[@OdinsHarem]

I'm still just in the beginning here... but I just want to say, I appreciate seeing Scrug through his hardships and depression. I resonate with it so much these days. It's cathartic. It's like I'm living through this beautiful story.

[@naterchipboston]

This one was a little deeper than most but I always enjoy watching your rdr videos. They're so entertaining. Hope you continue to do more. Take care!

[@Apollo_Speaks]

Scrump Toggins is one of my favourite characters on Wild. One of the highlights of my short stint playing Winston was the "Clem Fandango" prelude to boxing. It's honestly great seeing Scrump's journey and character progression, exposing all of the weird and wonderful things going on in WildRP!

[@estebangarsan]

I love your wildRP videos. Best way to start 2024. Also the emotional depth and work you put into them, simply amazing

[@howdywolfman]

We need a Scrump Toggins playlist so we can easily follow his saga.

[@bossdozz]

Holy shit I have been such a huge fan for so many years and just got recommended your channel how do you not have 10 mill subs?! 🎉 this is such a treat, thanks for the fun journey through real feelings

[@Tysonnguyen808]

I clicked this video for RDR2. Totally didn’t expect to see the actor from one of my favorite shows Silicon Valley 😂. Subscribed.

[@anthonyjames3870]

Been a fan of yours especially your acting since I first saw ya during a very impactful period of my life during Silicon Valley’s run. You’re a very honest seeming person and good at what it is you are doing

[@MartiniBlankontherest]

Thomas and Middleditch on Netflix gave me some of the best belly laughs i'd had for a long ass time during a big depression i was in at the time♥️

[@Paisley.rope857]

Yay! Thanks for sharing more of Scrump’s journey. I love these videos. I am missing chat’s snarky retorts though haha

[@GamblerWildWest]

Hey man, tough times. But remember life is like a book, no matter how many bad chapters always good ones come, you just have to stay strong. Everyone was there. Im glad rdr is helping you and you enjoy the game like I am!

[@chinojackson4505]

Aye, this was a powerful episode. And I exactly what I needed on the first day of my fast.

[@The_Quand]

this is so wonderful. so relaxing and playful.

[@deepg7084]

I feel late to the party, yet early at the same time. Just found this channel and surprised it only has 63k subs. I've seen so much crappy RP over the years from people with millions of subs, that your quality and creativity gives me a whole new appreciation for the art of RP. You earned a new sub from me. Can't wait to get caught up on your previous videos.

[@fargobarbi9688]

Appreciate your efforts. Well done and great that your helping people in positive ways 😊 I’m a therapist and admit the game offers me serenity and contentment; especially when I can’t get outdoors and ride my own horses 💕. All the best and thanks 👍

[@ultimatealliance5822]

id just been watching the playlist the other day THANK YOU for doing another one i love these🖤

[@JupidJT]

I stumbled upon your channel almost randomly. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. I hope you're feeling better bud.

[@SEANLIGHTZTV]

Bro when Jared snaps on you in silicone valley lmao… one of the funniest moments in tv History I feel. My wife and I replayed that clip so many times lmfao

[@PegasusGoshey]

thanks for streaming and recording all of this. it means a lot to so many people

[@firstpersonlooter]

I am glad this was cathartic, because when you first said you were gaming depressed without the WebCam on, that made me really sad. You were just making me laugh yet again, as I re-watched Silicon Valley. And I hate to think that I was having a good time because of your work while you yourself were depressed. Feels unfair. But regardless, I am glad you’re feeling better.

[@winslowmarks8469]

Watching this after Benny's death hits different 😭💔

[@HagsRideOrDie]

For about 5 minutes I was like, why's this guy look familiar? I wish I could share a photo of this white coffee cup with, "Drink coffee, Hail Satan" setting net to my laptop. Covid years, really did some brain damage to me, ha ha! Thanks for sharing this Tom, now I want to play RDR2 RP!

[@kodaaahhh]

Bro the acting at 22:40 is amazing 🤣 I've rp on FiveM I didn't even know rdr had rp this whole time

[@Optimuscrime11]

i love scrump ❤ i love these streams they have helped me immensely when im sad or overwhelmed with university tommy always finds a way to make me chuckle and feel good

[@MrZomg17]

[@sophies3580]

I’ve been online roleplaying for about 11 years now, and the rdr roleplay community is by far one of the very best I’ve seen. I wish we had WildRp servers for ps5! Would you ever consider making a video about these servers / how to get involved? Been watching you since middleditch and schwartz came out on Netflix!
