[markyh2]

Depeche mode have got a lot to answer for!! Keep on on synything............!

[skellinator]

HEY, I didn't even know that you could suck on a cord to make different sound! That's amazing. FOR TRUE!!!!!!!

[Wolfy101]

OH YEA, The Moog 55! My first love back in the day.

[blurrybigfoot74]

and my mind wanders to thousands of people sitting near a synthesizer sucking on cords.

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

wow I wanna synthesizer! and to think up until now I thought they were some kind of organ-thing :P

[MusclecarsMeditation]

Still enjoying the videos Drew... The idiots here at Musclecars & Meditation are addicted to your channel. Word.

[Mechawormzilla]

I think that Dr. Synthesizer is clearly a subject matter expert on synthesizers and synthesizer technology, but I question the validity of his doctoral credentials. Is he the same doctor who diagnosed Charles' licking problem? Furthermore, I'm not wearing any pants either.

[SatelliteAnthem]

I'm still sucking my synthesizer but nothing is happening. Any suggestions?

[FrequentlyFried]

Charles...You have a Licking Problem..Lick-ing-Prob-lem. Lick Lick.

[Adolfey]

i bet he was wearing no pants.

[rhyboy1]

i agree

[Horlequism]

That's a really old school synthesizer...I have a Roland DX10...I think I would be SO LOST if I tried using one of those things...great video though...

[Biguns]

SMELLY

[Biguns]

synthesizers are really hard to light on fire!!!

[kedzierski76]

SOUNDS GREAT!

[movielota]

Very informative. I learned something new tonight.

[Foolonastool]

You have the best fucking facial hair ever. EVER.

[restfulbug]

lol put the cord in your mouth

[j2xl]

The first part made me laugh so much I cried. "A synthesizer operates on your ears much in the same way as a pair of glasses does!"

[papydasy]

were you the guy on open university programs on bbc2 in the 70,s

[fotoplomer]

the flaute sounds better... ;)

[JonnyRev15]

I still think it's hilarius how you say that it works on your ears the same way pair of glasses does. How do glasses work on my ears???

[rmorelli867]

Hey, I thought I was retro using all hardware. Don't like the soft synths. But I'm digital. What do you think of that?

[Courtahol]

hahahahaha

You are brilliant.

[davou000]

Im soo happy right now

[dothetwist11]

Your synthesizer fully freaked out my guinea pig. I guess that is another thing I learned about synthesizers today. They are the natural enemy of guinea pigs.

[watcherfromtheskies]

make that thing work doctor otherwise shut the hack up

[HotRodKush]

I thought you looked familiar, been reading your comics for years!

[threechordme]

moogs are teh sex

[shleedance]

What do you think of my MicroMOOG?

(It's really a Microkorg with a MOOG logo on it... but hey, IT'S A MOOG! SCHWEET HUH?)

[erikjohnnn]

"lemme put this cord in my mouth here..."

drew, you have such a great sense of humor. keep making me laugh

[salisburysteak]

I feel very sad, because the sound on my computer doesn't work.

Aesthetically pleasing, though, I must admit.

[django60617]

nice say hey to d for us.

[chihsuanmen]

Uh...what the hell?

BODY MASSAGE

[misterfoolish]

Drew, this video has revolutionized the way I think and feel about everything synthesizer-related.

[sandymci1]

your recorder is HUGE! Awesome to see you on YouTube, I am a longtime fan of toothpastefordinner and nataliedee too.

PS when are you going to make new t-shirts?

[triktrailbmx]

that was truly inspiring

[rissaofthesaiyajin]

And here I thought that was some sort of ineffably clever artistic statement!

[jopio333]

mm he cant play recorder too.

[LeviWeaver]

rarely in my life have i laughed out loud from someone on the internet being clever. some of your comics and this video are the exceptions.

[EurydiceGrey]

Magnificence! I love the ending the most. It's a nice way to wrap it up.

[Monkey69Noodles]

Wow

[mightybluetoaster]

help. i can't stop watching! just for the flute part at the end...

[lazyass86]

I love your comic. And you look like an Amish dude.

[rattlesnakeCdla]

heheh this is good.

[ChokeslamToHell]

Bring him back! Bring him back! Bring him back!

And by "him" you know who I mean!

[zippyzeee]

i wanna grab you by the beard and drag you into traffic

[amynelle]

I think I love you Dr. Synthesizer.

[jestephens]

Drew!! I am a huge fan of toothpastefordinner. Now your videos TOO!! That's awesome.

[wrecklessmarci]

You were definatley rockin' that recorder and I like the way you suck at different speeds.

[oldnataliedee]

me, too.

[monetgray]

I sure sucking on it will have an effect all right...

[misstikalelf]

You just have the most amazing moustache I've ever, ever seen. That is all.

Well, no. This video was a great way to start the day, because I was lacking in vitamin Groovy. THAT is all.

[ThingsAreSweet]

Man, this was totally OK until the last shot, at which point it morphed immediately into the stuff of legends.

[piratehooker316]

I did not know you existed on YouTube. Which makes my life. Your voice is like an angel's, exactly like how I imagined it. Haha.

Synths = awesome = you, mister Drew.

[SeladonEQ]

oh man... those synthesizer notes were incredible

like that second part the notes were so intense that I ended up holding a poop in for like three hours because I was scared to move

[hgldr]

Lame

[iFubar]

indeed, keep it up ...

[MinotauroNog]

My hero

[NibOswald]

The most addictive synthesised audio samples on the web!

[fnordly]

i was looking for the old sequencer and ring modulator modules on that. used to go nutzo with the ring modulator. used to plug the envelope generator into it to gate the effects. this vid brings back many old memories

[kanichton70]

Awesome - I like the handlebar mustache, too.

[ivalapalooza]

you're definitely the coolest person on the face of the earth

[vudukungfu]

That's the dude from Law and Order.

[Squishyrockstar]

The recorder solo rocked my face off.

Seriously.

I have no face.

[woahwoahwhat]

holy crizzap i love your little flips on the ends of your mustache

[robertdx]

sooooooo creepy

[Ghostmonsters]

You dont say...

[yeahjesse]

It does sound so good.

[red3yz]

haha got some great samples from that! keep up the good work!!1

[xylophonist]

Q: What is for dinner?

A: A synthesizer!

[Mikothethicko]

friggin hilarious

[kuoriv]

that's fantastic. makes me want to buy a synthesizer.

[ofsinsandshred]

I feel so stupid. I never thought of sucking on the cables.

[Pembolog]

Legend.

[brandtkicksass]

synthesize some sound...do it

[evilpaul]

Increment that value like you mean it. Change it. Yeah.

[r0nf0rd]

glasses operate on your ears?

the recorder was dope.

[F33bs]

Whoa, that was interesting! Nice! I have a new respect for synthesizers.

[djempirical]

pretty fuckin awesome. you *have* to synthesize.

[captaincardboard]

why dontcha play something >_>

[bunnieboo43]

Very amusing! Thanks! :)

[doors1122]

yeahh change it

[stompclapclap]

drew, you da shit!

[temiscaming]

Carefull with your edits pal.

[funwithstrokes]

Yesyesyesyes

[Pr0f3550rPWN]

XD Drew, man. Great video. Love the site.

[jsd1982]

You are so odd, man.

[teamcool]

I remember when you posted those pictures of all your synthesizer stuff on your blawg, I was just overwhelmed, because I had NO idea how synthesizers work. Still dont, but I will eagerly await more videos from the good Dr.!

[chompy44]

teamcool is better than everybody. he saw this before anybody. thanks for telling everybody how cool you are,teamcool.

[Freedog1978]

that. was. amazing.

[Rfaulder]

Drew you are awesome

[jinxthejinx]

ha ha drew i love you and natalie madly. great video.

[hc1153]

that was raw, man, raw

[analoghell]

would have been better if we could hear the synth directly! sounds a but crappy off-mic like that.

[rapemenirvana]

haha nice

[toothlessBrad]

Awesome recorder playing! Love the site. Keep it up.

[AnUprightBear]

That was some intense recorder action at the end there. The intense intensity in your eyes was just plain intense. At first I was like "Oh man he's not going to do it" and then I was all "Dag, yo. Dems some mad skills." I'm a better person for having seen this video.

[teenyweenieRickDavis]

I'm pleased to have seen this

[Av1so]

Hahaha I thought something was wrong on my end.

I loved the recorder part at the end.

[alexbruckner]

Man, that is some eerie recorder. Mas cool

[laskoranger]

Ive loved toothpastefordinner for so long, its about time..

[MyTunnel]

Hey thats my motto too!

[motosuwa]

Many things can be sucked on at different speeds to produce different ideas for yourself.

[corpseoftheyear]

Dude.

You frigging rock.

First Toothpaste for dinner, now these awesome videos.

Keep up the good work.

- John.

[Nickyfartfart]

i love it

first comment huzzah!

i feel good about myself

[ScrubbyWerewolf]

Oh Drew, Errrm, I mean Doc, You truly are the most educational educator! A king among liquid simians, or men, whichever the standard of sentient beings is these days!

[elchico05]

lol this video was kinda odd. whatever i love ur comics

[KDBaross]

Dr. Synthesizer, your sounds make my ears bleed. in a good way.

[Dobuchowski]

simply stunnning. Thanks, Drew!

ps, im not sure what to suck on my triton studio to make it ocillate ANY SUGGESTIONS.

[PEPPJazz]

I tried this on my synthesizer at home, but I guess it was like a... well, it was a lemon. But the idea is essentially unchanged.

[trussell13]

I didn't know glasses operated on your ears.

[Carloss74]

they rest on your ears

[bennendetto]

Thanks Drew! I learned alot!!

[DonaldCrunk]

incredibly effective demonstration of the world of the synthesizers. a+.

[AutomaticGainsay]

:::gapes::::

[bbeltballerina]

Fascinating. Really.

...

[amourxseduisant]

that was pretty much beautiful

[drallio]

It is indeed operating on my ears.

[DanylBritts]

hahaha wtf :D !

[outofstep23x]

Hahahaha, awesome.

[puwayt5]

Nice outro. I never understood why the recorder never made it out into the mainstream.

[threechordme]

yea! so how much does this take to set up money wise?

[Dooreatoe]

My friend would classify your facial hair as "extreme". I have to agree. When I look at it, I can't help but hear wicked guitar wailing in the background.

And that damn recorder, and the damn Hot Cross Buns.

[JonnyRev15]

lol I love it! It works on your ears much like a pair of glasses...

I hope to comment you and talk to yous before all your toothpaste fans take over...

I have been a tpfd fan for a while now. Keep an I on my videos and see if I wear one of your shirts in an up coming episode. sorry I sound scattered.. very sleepy...

[codfishproductions]

very educational

[SuperJanitor]

Hi Drew.
