- Ah, here we go again.
NOTE: All advertising material for Surfshark VPN was accurate when the original video was made. Codes and links may not work in the future.
Once again, the Advertising Standards Authority banned another ad after receiving a complaint claiming the ad "irresponsibly featured scenes with a level of violence that was likely to cause distress to viewers that was unjustified". As a result, the ad was removed from the video.
ASA's ruling: www.asa.org.uk...

The Surfshark Saga (part 2): • Dear Surfshark, Please...
I'm so sad they banned this ad. It was my favourite of all the ads, mainly because he was brave enough to mention all of those competitors.
I love how they managed to ban the add, but the internet will never let it go and it still exists
I was thinking “why’s this banned?” And then the beginning started and I was like “oh”
more likeley because they mentioned competitors ... a lot ...
@@TopMikiFilms it was banned by the ASA not surfshark which I think is funnier.
@@TopMikiFilms Surfshark never had problems with that. Description has a link to the ASA's ruling.
It was because Tom smashed a glass on Eddie's head. "Too violent"
@@giftheckAh yes, but a kid's arms getting cut off isn't. Or Tom sticking a gun at Elliott's head. Or literal torture. Thanks, ASA.
That single person that got the ad banned must have massive sway
tom ska surf shark vpn lore: in the other banned ad, Eddie is dead for supporting nord vpn, in this one, tom kills him, so this one must take place before
The ASA must be trying really hard to stay relevent in the age of new media
1:06 the Animaniacs reference is the best part of te ad
I’m glad I’m not the only person who noticed this

Tom: *:)*
Eddie: *YAKKO WARNER INTENSIFIES*

Tom really managed to get us to willingly open and watch an ad for surfshark, I don't think they could ask for a better job
I just realised he was saying the countries in the order they were in the animaniacs song
The fact that its real blood pouring down eddies face is great. Dispitw being a sugar glass bottle, it still cut him.
I mean compared to the other banned ad, I dont get why they banned this one. Eddie even bled for this ad! :(
when eddy started blurting out yakkos world I cracked
I know why they did it, but of all the banned ads, I feel like this one was a lot more tame
The yakkos world reference was a deep cut
That one person really likes eddy
Who the baby?
The person that keeps reporting these ads. Eddie died in the Torture Ad too.
i like how eddie just started singing yakkos world
1:16 the happy music continues as there is *FREAKING BLOOD*
Gotta love how Eddie just started singing the Animaniacs world song
it's crazy that this is so much more tame than the previous one
found this advert so funny when I saw it first, and tbh the new video made me just want to watch it again hahahaha thank you
It really sucks that these ads which were meant to aid in financing Tomska and his crew ended up being a source of demonitization.
I would get Surfshark watching these ads
It's like this banned ad leads into the next one... it's a whole banned ad saga.
why nobody talking about baby taxidermy its horrifyingly funny
I like how the order eddie was listing countries in was literally just the yakko's world song
1:06 you mean like the Republic Dominican? Cuba? Caribbean? Greenland? El Salvador-
oh hey, someone's at my door-
*is that tom*
1:06 Animaniacs was my childhood and I can't believe that they reference that one song that Rob Paulsen, the VA of Yakko Warner and Pinky, recorded in one take, the infamous "Yakko's World".
Edit: Someone even made a fricking YTP Collab of this heck of a song ------> th-cam.com/video/fIeZv-5mm-A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dBpyC8CMcigile8Z
Here's my theory of how Amanda the Adventurer and some of TomSka's SurfShark ADs are connected: In the second banned ad, as seen in TryHards, I think Tom and Eddie represent Amanda and Wooly really well. Tom represents Amanda's innocence but terrifying appearance/chaos while Eddie resembles Wooly's innocence and wants the viewers to trust him to escape from Amanda and save Rebecca, who's "rotting in the nowhere". I don't think Eddie mentioning those countries (in an Animaniacs reference) and other VPNs to annoy Tom, I think he is *secretly* trying to save us from Tom's reign of terror and chaos (telling us to visit a different country) before at the end he was killed, offscreen. And who *also* got killed offscreen similar to Eddie? Wooly! Wooly, similar to Eddie with the VPNs and countries, told us to burn the tapes before we were about to dig up an *actual grave in the middle of a forest.* (As seen in the demo)
Later in a newer SurfShark AD, in the Jeopardy video on the TomSka & Friends TH-cam channel, we get to see Tom yet again talking to us about SurfShark, but something seems... *off...* Throughout his speech about the VPN, he is hiding subliminal messages about a demon, that he's possessed with, called "Octher" (I think that's how you spell its name). He's referring the VPN to be like the demon he's possessed from because he is tricking us, the viewers, to sign up to SurfShark to join his "hell" whatever it is. (And I think the 08/03/2014 might be something to do with the Sponsor ADs's lore)
Tom, who's possessed and is also known as "Octher", is acting similar to Amanda being possessed by an entity that she transformed to as seen in a tape in the full game release called "What's a Family?", if you say 'no' three times if Amanda asked you to help the lonely kitten, she loses it entirely, crying and even transforming into the entity as seen in the demo.
Both Eddie and Wooly are saviours metaphorically (I guess). In one of the tapes, we can tell that Rebecca was summoning demons by saying: "Bye yell", "Pie man", and "Baa lamb". Which all sound like "Bial" (idk how you spell it), "Paimon" and "Baylam" (idk how to spell it either), all demons in hell. If these are holy demons like Octher, we can look at some religious text that can give us some clues. In religious text, it says that Jesus Christ was referred to as "The Lamb of God" the lamb has sacrificial importance and can protect against evil. And as seen in the secret tape in the demo and the 2nd banned Surfshark AD, Wooly and Eddie are the ones who saved us before their sacrificial death.
It's just a coincidence theory, and I'm sating it because I think they're similar.
As an animator myself, if there's a new TomSka & Friends video where in the SurfShark AD Eddie stands up to himself and saying that he is tired of what Tom did to him in the two banned ads, then I am about to make an animation with Amanda and Wooly.
dude
@snuffow.1218 I know, right? I've seen videos of Amanda the Adventurer when I compared this, and the other banned ad because that's in chronological order, with the game itself. I see that despite the ads being made before the full game's release (I think), they still predict the terrifying relationship of Amanda and Wooly, like the time that she was using the saw to "fix" Wooly's brain in the alternate tape of the "Uh oh! Accidents!" Tape.
Tom interrupting Eddie at the beginning when he was mentioning other programming services kind of reminds me of Amanda interrupting Wooly like this (in the "Everything Rots!" Tape):
Amanda: "Do you think that everything rots?"
Wooly: "Of course not Amanda-"
Amanda: *"I'M NOT ASKING YOU!!"*
Amanda: "Answer my question."
Wooly: "You don't have to answer that!"
So, I guess, yes, Tom and Eddie's relationship in this ad is related to Amanda and Wooly *before* the full game's release.
Christ! I forgot how dark this ad was!
Fuck fact: the orders which Eddie says the countries is the yakko Warner song
I notice he never answered the question. What DOES make Surfshark different from Nord?
Republic Dominican? Cuba? Caribbean? Greenland? El Salvador too?
I could see why the other one got it, but this? This is very tame in comparison
Thank you my man
Eddie sang the countries song!
actually good ad
These Ads are just fuckin amazing XD This is peak comedy lol
banning the ad only makes me like him more and surfshark less 😆 smooth move Ferguson
It’s not surfshark that bans them it’s the advertising authority
