www.tomscott.com - "Two Drums and a Cymbal Fall off a Cliff - b'doom, tssh". That's the joke: but does it really give you that rimshot sting you hear in comedy? We investigate.
As an unpaid and untrained lawyer, representing the drums and cymbal, I present to the court evidence that my clients did not fall off a cliff, rather upon close examination, they were thrown off a cliff. We are suing those who threw my clients off.
Objection! The allegation that the prosecutor's clients are inanimate objects are irrelevant. The defendant clearly places the drums and cymbal on a slope near the edge of a cliff which then proceeded to fall off the cliff. I rest my case.
What you see is my client trying to keep the two drums and cymbal from jumping off the cliffing and trying to harm an individual on the ground. What you see is not them being thrown, but my client trying to grab them in the air.
Below a certain percentage of dislikes, like ~10%. You can ignore them. Some people can't read I guess, and didn't know what they were watching. Some people's opinion are basically invalid, and just dislike anything Tom Scott makes. Can't be trusted. Those people are worthless, providing no input.
gredangeo well theirs also those who just thought it was dumb you can’t just make somebody’s opinion invalid that’s the whole point of an opinion I enjoyed the video personally some others may not
@@TwentyGX I'm impressed with how well the drums held up. I mean, they're designed to be struck, but that's a hell of a drop to be doing almost half a dozen times.
This comment has been here for 2 months with 200+ likes and I'm the only reply. Should I Be Proud...... YES NO WOW THIS IS THE MOST I GOT IN MY WHOLE EXISTENCE thx ;)
In Tom's voice: "My younger self, admittedly, was of the Dungeons and Dragons alignment form "chaotic nyeutral", that meaning I had no spite or reverance, buuuuut I was a little insane."
As do so many things, this was suggested to me randomly. ("Randomly" yes, algorithm..."randomly.") I'd seen it years ago...& "discovered" the legend that is Tom Scott only fairly recently. We had no idea what was to come. This has entered the hallowed halls of my "classics" playlist.
gotta admit, i was NOT expecting it to actually do the noise.
I think they tried it multiple times
萩原諒太 yep they even screamed "yes!!" When it happened... Btw that's a 2 year old comment wow
Serrot304 FALSE, it's a word
Eick then what am i?

“10 years ago” carries so much weight
I know, right??
aye

1 decade ago
Oh my god
Bring back the pony tail.
Agreed
AGREEEEEE
YES
No, you bring it 😂!
No u
Had to come here after watching his final weekly video

That was the most delayed response to a joke I have ever seen.
Just makes it even better.
the drummer searching for the drumsticks lmao
They would have fallen faster if the joke had been better.
**throws 2 drums and a cymbal at ya'**
The gap between the toss and the impact was extended 2 seconds to make the cliff seem taller
Imagine if that guy got hit in the head and it still made that sound.
That would be the best joke of all time
Ba dum tss
“What’s black and white and red all over? Me! AHHH-“
I'm not sure where this joke is HEADED but ok
Bah dum tshhhh
That “and a CLIFF” delivery was so perfect

rare footage of Tom Scott wearing a tshirt that isn't red
I didn't even know this was Tom I thought it was some random video
I thought this guy sounded familiar
must be some realy complex vfx and colour correction in this one
these were the gray hoodie times
that was a beta version of tom. stable release is red.
They made this just to have fun, with no clue how popular they would become.
Well they had already made some stuff that went absolutely popular everywhere in the UK
This video only became popular a year ago too. Only about 2 years ago this was one of the least viewed tom Scott videos
@@raph2954 yes, but they made plenty of other stuff that went viral, not on YT
@@Anankin12 I know, that wasn't my point
@@raph2954 sorry, I thought you were replying to me, not OP
Just watched Tom's 10 year goodbye vid and had to come back here.
Matt's cheeky grin and anxious anticipation after the punchline is what sells it for me
And Tom still looks 20 and 40 at the same time
Yes!!

And ate it

Thank you for the 10 years! You are truly inspiring!
You mean to tell me, that ALL this time… this iconic piece of CZcams was a Tom Scott video?! What an amazing not-twist that somehow feels like a twist
The punchline landed very well
LMAO
Ha

Bum bum tsss
God damn it XD
Rare footage of Tom not wearing a red shirt.
He's kind of wearing his grey jumper tho.
.....and Nerdy glasses.
And a freaking ponytail
It is red
Rare footage of tom in a 'lungi'😂
great to watch this after the final video
This video is cymbalic
Buum tss
Why are there dislikes?
You wanted to see two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff and you saw two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff.

Quality of video, or distaste of people in the vid?
@@d.o.p.d.o.p.1775 maybe it's because tom isn't wearing a red shirt
The drums and the cymbal are clearly paid actors
Random Reviewer bro whats ur steam acc ?
They're technically "paid"
totally original comment I haven't seen five times a day
so are your parents
/door

It took me a minute to realise that was TOM with a PONYTAIL
I like how the fact that the cymbal was very slightly late actually made it more epic.
I swear , CZcams is actually just an online time capsule
Elim Kwok duh?
Yes, if a video is uploaded in a previous year and doesn't get deleted, it will stay that way.
Ok boomer.
Waters wet also
@@asaschlobohm h a ha h aa ha ha that's the funny joke!
As a drummer, I am now very worried that my job is going to be stolen by a british cliff face.
Automation has gotten out of hand.
Build a wall, so that they can't come and steal your jobs!
Deport the cliffs!
But cliffs are technically like walls o.o
If your job is to make _badoom-tssh_ all day... I really want to have your life. Wait, how much money do make with that?
It's a good day when CZcams suggests ponytail Tom.
Damn, the algorithm diggin up some old gold right here.
I didn't expect that they'd actually sound like that when they hit the ground.
I expected them to just hit the dude in the head. I hope someone makes an edit of that
Too natural.
You know how many retakes they must’ve done?
@@renaminginprogress6903 Actually 4. The instruments broke on the fourth take.
@@Devlinator61116 how do u kno?
I genuinely forgot it was Tom who made this video. It looks like it was recorded in the 70's with a camera from the 90's.
Hold up... Recorded in the 70's.... Camera from the 90's... Hmmmmm
Are you a time traveller?

14 years later, still a relevant video.

14 years since 2 drums and a cymbal, 7 years since this video, I wonder if I'll be back here 7 years from today?
You know it’s 2009 when they have a slow motion replay in multiple camera angles.

@@CappytR bet me to it
Took a lot of cliffort to say that
-Shitty- Godly superpower: everytime you make a bad joke, you can summon two drums and a cymbal out of the sky.

This just randomly showed up and now I have a reason to live again
I've watched this video a couple times already, spread across five or so years. Now it is in my feed again, 14 years and still going strong. 👌
Looks like the CZcams algorithm is getting nostalgic again
Garen Olivari I think we should send it to therapy
Confirmed: CZcams algorithm is a bot that became sentient and in now nostalgic
thanks for confirming that God
I get it 😭
Agreed.
The algorithm has spoken.
ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM

It spoke once again
*ALGORITHMMMMMMMMME*
_Oh, almighty algorithm. Bless us with more videos from 2009._
That’s it. Isn’t it. Happy 10 years.
Needs to be remade. Same friend, same cliff, same joke

Wow... I actually didn't expect this to work.
+KTBMedia It works because physics!
Physics as in if you hit something it vibrates and makes a noise?
Oh my, I am blushing
Because it doesnt, it was edited in
Xavier Santos "Looking Back At Two Drums And A Cymbal, Seven Years Later" is a video you should really watch.
It only took 13 years of CZcams giving random videos, but it finally found a good one in 2022
Did you know? This cliff doesn't exist anymore. After this video, it was ashamed, and refused to be a cliff.
Tom Scott going from throwing drums from a cliff to throwing garlic bread into space is the character arc we didn't know we needed.
Nevermind

It wouldn’t be classic CZcams without unnecessary slow motion
What do you mean unnecessary? It’s perfectly necessary
But its not unnecessary its kool
slow motion three times too
"Let's see that at 30,000 frames a second!"
Along with bad quality 👌

The fact that they actually did it, or that it made the actual "badum TISSHH" sound

true
They've actually said it only took 4-5 tries, surprisingly!
