[masacatior]

Heil, it's Eduardo from brasil ´`_´`

[virtuosoikingpin]

The ending of this video was fucking creepy. Keep your nightmare fuel to yourself, good sir.

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

I used to heed your advice, then I took an arrow to the knee...

[misspretzelpants]

You are my new favorite person.

[DecidedlyAbnormal]

do you listen to radiolab? that first question was on radiolab....

[stupidintellect90]

Okay. I'm gussing the cheese is the face you make when being photographed? As in 'say cheese'? In that case, Tom never do the cheese, it's chilling.

[lauraisamazingness]

Hey wanna be my male-wife?? ;;;;;;))))

[keylimecupcake1998]

Can I hug you forever and never let go? (you look like a nice cuddly guy) I love you!

[Himewna]

Wait, so we're making the husband obsolete?

[TicketForTwo]

You have murderous eyes.

[OneFishOnTheWall]

TROLLYOLOGY!!!!!!! 

[kt76943]

have you ever thought what's going to absorb all of that water?

the answer is sand.

[AVeryIronicGoose]

Starting university today. Came to this video for some advice. Thanks a lot, Tom!

[nattkhan]

What did I just watch?

That was genius

[coryldork]

And who doesn't wanna be a train controller.

[cherries747]

Best advice: Try not to be black or gay. And if you want to work don't be a woman.

[BrianSpruillable]

the ad to this vid was longer than the video itself

[tibees]

you must eat some pretty heavy sandwiches.

[LuluPaperBird]

"good back strength" :( I broke my back in the 6th grade, its reasonably strong now

but I guess Ill have to choose a male wife with great back strength to even it out :)

[Biggan555]

Seriously this made me go to sleep ZZzZzzzZ

[LuluPaperBird]

@Biggan555 watch something else then =p

[NearlyHeadlessLaura]

@appledumplingpie Gaah, different qualification levels and grades in the UK. Look it up.

[NearlyHeadlessLaura]

@BennyQuixote Ah yes, your right. Women don't use the internet I just magically got a an A* in I.T and I'm on youtube without use of it. Twat.

[appledumplingpie]

@NearlyHeadlessLaura an A*? Do you possibly mean A+ ? Maybe they just wrote A* on your paper to make you feel good without giving you a real grade....

[hello12mary]

i think you just might be more awkward then me XD

[Chazzinger]

Hahahhah, territorial to cheese

[DarkPrince013]

17 people suck @ life...

[tashi1849]

Male wife and the sand part gets me everytime :D

[xjoshuagatheringblue]

loved the Harry Potter reference.

[ihatebirthdays]

@xjoshuagatheringblue damnit are you trolling or is there actually a HP reference in there?

[razzamattazz]

Send it to the 5 workers, because then it's very likely one of them will see it and hence all 5 will get out of the way.

[ihatebirthdays]

@razzamattazz thats so brilliant hahaha

[misric17]

Lmao

[yelodoggie]

a male wife? really? LMAO.

[KeepCalmEatCake]

I will live my life by this advice, thank you Tom. :P

[1lilyannepotter1]

The end reminded mme of wizard photos, I'm a nerd like that. . .

[bootsandspooky]

I think I just died

[McFilmStar]

Michael Cera???

[EatingButter]

Hi, I'm Tom from Australia. Cheers!

[taylahdar]

laughed so hard .......' whats going to absorb all that water, the answer is sand!'

[dreamyicecreamy]

that last look was very serial killer

[Lizosom]

U r talking to fast for us, people whose native language is not English.

But ok, still subscribed.

[jbrocks3k]

Lol wut?

[SuperEggsbenny]

woo, an aussie :D

[fsnish]

i think i fell in love with you, be my wife. I will treat you well and will do the laundry.

[RandomLari]

I'm off of youtube for 2 weeks to read Harry Potter, and I come back to see a frezned video in my feed. I got instantly happy. :)

[ImogensImagination18]

Hey, it's Tom from australia

[stupidintellect90]

@ImogensImagination18 No, I think It's Dom from Austria :)

[PwninZombies]

Lovin the creeper face towards the end. hahaha

[bumpychickin]

I genuinely feel less intimidated by life now, thank you frezned!

[EvanRitchie]

Good advice. Leavers are marvellous... Also- I spotted you outside Grill'd as I was exiting Hoyts. I was gonna say hi, but I thought it too informal. So I bowed. But you'd left. So I wept.

Plus I don't look anything like I did the last time you saw me. I'm all beardy with short hair...

And I look more... Racist.

[EvanRitchie]

@EvanRitchie Also- I love your work.

[EvanRitchie]

@EvanRitchie *Sigh*

*Levers... And I'm a science teacher!!

[vanillagoat]

If you're gay, select a male wife. Unless, of course, you intend on marrying your 'male wife'. We can't legally allow that to happen silly. That would be too fair.

[AllieMcKeen]

Five horcruxes tops. Got it.

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@AllieMcKeen Conveniently the same number of dead railroad workers!

[mikaismay]

How?



[sozialraum]

he's just so sexy ;-)

[OddEye83]

You probably get this a lot, but you look so much like Micheal Cera, it's insane!

[chrisjohnpat]

What are you? 

[shempone]

....lots of wanna be clicks r here

[jeni955]

this made me laugh soooo much

[robynbirde]

My gosh you have a fantastic personality. And accent lol. Every video of yours is somehow simultaneously strange, fascinating, and hilarious.

[xgoldlion07x]

I watched this twice..

[Shinyiis]

Your either really intelligent or really crazy! or possibly both, either way, very entertaining! :)

[louisdebmusic]

what camera do you use ?

[HoggyMyHoggy]

....What the hell just happened?

[Lonelykeanefan]

That wasn't cheese. That was manic.

[EladrinFiction]

When I get married, I am calling my husband a male wife... so much win!!

[gomusicgrl]

Your picture moved like in Harry Potter

[italianballs]

@gomusicgrl Where?

[gomusicgrl]

@italianballs In the end when he did the snapshot thing. He moved, and it made me think of the pictures in Harry Potter lol

[danikarosehaseler]

You are attractive.



[3LECTROgirl]

I love you xx

[beekeeyah]

oh my lord you confuse me but i like it :)

[wonderbouy]

Everyone's freeeeeeeee to wear sunscreen.

[rheadra]

aww, i <3 you frezned, you understand the mortal thing..most people don't, i'm no wizard or anything, but i do appreciate a good sound advice... will i listen to it? it comes down to my 80% rate i doomed myself to as a child to make life a bit more interesting(after all, being a prodigy is no fun, cause it's been done a million times, and see where that's gotten people)anyways, always a pleasure to see your face speak sense.. and stuff --laaaaaaa

[annaslater11]

The first twelve times I watched this I thought he said "become a mortal." It was confusing.

[AzkabanEscapee97]

I know people have probably talked about it in comments below, and I KNOW frezned was joking, but you DON'T pull the lever. If you let the train hit the five people, you are not changing the original outcome. If you pull the lever, you are immediately taking responsibility for that person's life, you chose to kill them because you knew that if you pulled it they'd die. You just killed someone, intentionally. Hello, courtroom :)

[RoboSquid93]

@AzkabanEscapee97: It may not be legally right, but it's morally right. I'd certainly subject myself to the trials of the legal system if it meant saving four lives.

[annaslater11]

@AzkabanEscapee97 It may not be legally wrong, but not pulling the lever is a conscious, though passive, choice. It's still choosing to have the five pople die. I would argue that if it can be proven that you saw the train nearing the five people and had the choice to stop it, that it would be possible and perhaps even right, to convict you on murder charges.

Of course by "you" I don't actually mean You AzkabanEscapee97, rather, "one".

[HoggyMyHoggy]

I don't know how to react to this....

[pannaAnnanulla]

lovely teeth! 

[AllTerrainTrain]

I love how you say everything like it's super important.

[OMGTHERERNONAMESAAGH]

What just...occurred?

[NearlyHeadlessLaura]

Can I select you as a male wife? :)

[beena124]

@NearlyHeadlessLaura First you need to see that he has good back strength.

[BennyQuixote]

@NearlyHeadlessLaura Silly YouTube commenter. Women don't use the Internet.

[MsLuckyPinnkStar]

@BennyQuixote XD you know it.

[MotoMoto1912]

I have been asked that first question in three different variations in three disconnected situations in the past few weeks and I am so glad that you solved my usual indecisiveness for me. You're right, levers have an undeniable appeal

I love you Frezned xD

[pleiademaia]

Ahhhhh, bad segues for the win. X)

[bubbledum2012]

i love you!

[dropthelimits]

i dont understand!! 

[kieranrichard16]

I'm sorry, what just happened? I feel used.

[alittlejstillz]

Brilliant, as always.

[RATEovLAUGHTER]

umm...what just happened?

[xxSasukattxx]

Tbh, I don't actually see why people keep saying how odd he is.

I don't know about you, but this seems like perfectly normal behaviour. :D

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@xxSasukattxx I agree, my fellow patients at the Asylum do as well.

[genericfirstname]

Your video prompted me to sing "life, be in it, get more out of life," which is proof that jingles work.

[Neppy22]

Advice to live life by if I ever saw it!

[Liiv7]

I think you should write a self-help book. I'd buy it.

[baalisgod666]

I love when the Meds kick in, towards the end.

[MrXamenyap]

nanalew brought me here =D

[MaXWinchester]

LOOOL

[geTogether2day]

is it just me, or do you talk really fast? I'd like to hear what you have to say!

[Nanalew]

I watched this.

[HelmetAndCrayon]

@Nanalew

You put a full stop instead of a question mark.

[amsaric]

@Nanalew I was going to say: "Who cares?" but when I saw your username and it all became clear. Because obviously everyone should care about what Nanalew approves of.

PS. Bananacone. ;)

[Beckophilia]

Uh oh! I took 6 lives to become immortal :o

[thelazzlazz]

Haha i want a male wife.

[cding12]

I loved your little train controller dance. adorbs.

[hippogriffgrrl10]

*now i want to be a train controller.

[theloolexieloo]

What?

I love you. :)

[riptiki]

Why do your eyebrows look like they're wearing invisibility cloaks?

[nerdra]

Your videos make me happy inside. Inside my brain, specifically.

[sketchymustache]

lol wut?

male wife.

[Chloeisanerdlike]

But if the single person that gets killed by the train is you, then you won't pull the lever, because you're a selfish bastard. it's like The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song by The Flaming Lips.

[CagayakeGirl]

I love your train controller dance xD

[EnglandBeat]

I think I'd quite enjoy hanging out with you.

You seem just the right kind of peculiar.

Also, I've got good back strength.

[syphon4twon]

@ iLegoPerson - Inaction an action in itself.  If you were able to save the five people, but didn't, you are just as responsible for their deaths as you would be for the one.

[dojdoc]

I think I've answered my question..frezned are you mocking people who give this 'drink 8 glasses' advice because there's no solid evidence about this and really it just gets peed out and absorbed by sand on the beach?.

[endowell]

@dojdoc DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRR

[dojdoc]

@endowell I'm interpreting NeTi with SiTe *sigh* it takes me a while.

[hollaa19]

One crucial question: who does your hair? :p

[metaphoricalbamf]

I always have to watch all of your videos 2 or 3 times to even somewhat understand what you've strewn together.

[BrokenWaffles]

I...yes. Wait...what?

[madasrabbits06]

we had this question in our philosophy class..... it still fucks with me :(

[CagayakeGirl]

Darn, the first time I got sick I was 7 weeks old...I'm screwed! D:

[nxxbie]

Someone watches Justice Harvard.

[whoshify]

...wut?

[iLegoPerson]

@frezned I don't think it works like that... There is no balance which on one side you put the number of people you killed and on the other the number of people you saved.

life's not eggs in a basket. You shouldn't really preform a cold count like that. (unless you're playing BF2)

in your trial, the judge would say:

"Once you have touched the lever you were responsible for that man's life. You fully knew that your actions were going to lead to his death."

that's what it's about - responsibility.

[maliceisadork]

"Who doesn't want to be a train controller?" Frezned, you are straight up amazing.

[ccrit3]

I think he makes his videos so confusing so you have to watch them twice to understand them... haha

[TangerineLightning]

NO NO NO. You should NOT pull the lever. By pulling the lever you are saving five lives, but putting one life in danger when it had not been before. That is a larger injustice than choosing not to save the others.

[93tomb]

@TangerineLightning Its surely not about some ill-defined concept of 'justice' but rather cold hard maths. Assuming they are all the same age, you save five times as much life-time if you kill the one guy. Why is this an ambiguous issue? I don't get it.

[LeaveItToPsmith]

WILL YOU BE MY MALE WIFE FREZNED!?!?!? Oh wait. First I'm going to need some demonstration of your back strength. Lift that tractor tire, and then we can start making the wedding arrangements.

[IamAThatter]

I've been watching his videos for a while, yet.. I don't understand the transitions...?

[StephiiSunshine]

@IamAThatter They are just transitions between two emotions. right?

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

-Hahaha XD Oh Tom, I adore you!

*hugs*

[EmmieJelly]

<3

[SenyorJMEZ]

Holy shit I love you man!

[konohamarutard]

*snicker*

[tazzlez60]

I found this highly educational! Sand? Really? All these years and I never thought of it :D

[ipullstuffapart]

Computer screen turns off at 0:46

watch?v=v3rhQc666Sg

[KeannaCasey]

So, I guess I'll just become immortal by not pulling that train lever, then.

[manyeffects]

What if you're a gay woman?

[fakeusername92]

@manyeffects the default was a female wife, so you're good :) I thought of this as well.

[sazzyzed21]

i thought he would make his face turn into chedder

[bekfry2]

Are you free on Saturday? You should make your way over to Fed Square.

[MrSimmonds123]

You look very mature in this vid :)

[ImARealLeprechaun]

Man alive Tom you are the best

[RabeDesGottes]

Ah, Philippa Foot's trolley problem. I flip the switch with much gusto, as I would like to epitomize myself as utilitarianism!

[DanielCatt23]

Hey, my cheese does look like that!

[travelvloggity]

I need cheese now...

[walkonearth]

I love you the most out of everyone that I know and don't know.

[roidroid]

Smashing tales!

[iNoidzz]

Frezned used to be my computer helper at my primary school, he's dad is so cool i love you tom and ur dad mr mclean

[dojdoc]

Lol, this is hilarious. A male wife!!?? Where does the sand come from?

I didn't like the philosophy scenario - I'd prefer not to be the train driver at all. I mean how do you choose between killing 1 person or 5 people?? Ahh. Hate philosophy..although you do sell it pretty well.

Better videos with standing; more animated, although I keep thinking you might get distracted run off leaving us hanging...

[redstrabrerreez]

Haha My dad just called you a "zweeb." (That's apparently a zany dweeb. For the record I think you're awesome and completely un-dweeby.)

[daniii37]

bahaha i'm seriously cannot stop laughing at the end

jesus christ i love you.

[ScrabbleDiva]

I kinda love you. no really...ur awesome! :D
