Personally benedict cumberbatch will always be my idealistic Sherlock Holmes. It’s just the aura he gives as he shows pure dedication
Jiminie Jonny Lee Miller equals him
For me too, Benedict is the best suited portrayal for Sherlock 😃
No offense but HE is nowhere near the real Holmes aka Jeremy Brett. No one can outclass him no matter what argument you present
Taylor Exgersi I said “personally”. Meaning my opinion. Everyone has different depictions of characters :) and it’s not something to argue over unless you want to be petty, childish and immature. It’s an opinion. I respect yours and would appreciate if you would respect mine. Thank you.
I kinda agree
This is basically just a video about how amazing I am
@@alderaan1931
Oh god.. not mycroft
Watson!!! Sherlock's showing off again!
Remember what Mycroft ever said to you
I'm calling Mrs. Hudson to give you some tea
Calm down or I will call Moriarty...
Oh wait...
How to think like Sherlock Holmes:
1. change name to Sherlock Holmes
2. think
Profit
Salah Al-Bloushi Crap, I’m not used to using number 2
Just Peachy welp sucks... Not gonna be able to profit... 😂
lmao
honestly i use his name 😂
Sherlock Holmes ur doing great!
*when you realize Sherlock knew the plot of Endgame before everyone else*
*Of course, he even predicted Tony's death.*
That's a brillaint one.
and also one who snaped using gauntlet is also sherlock
Well, he was in ir
I have no idea what your trying to say.
wait I get it know
143 dislikes are by different accounts made by moriarty
Ik this is a joke but doesn't he die in the movies and tv shows
Recommended Tube but the books
@@chunglebung8988 oh I haven't read them yet , I'm guessing Moriarty lives in them
Recommended Tube I‘m still sad about 🥵
@@xeon6755yh but he's still in the show ...just dead
be more mindful and observative.
me: listens to the video in the background while reading the comments
Just the same😭
Same xd, I got bored ;-;
this is cracking me up. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥
Me too😂😂
Right????
Don't forget Sherlock's mind palace
I think that's the hardest part
@@pestokong6228 I've tried making a few but I can't remember anything
@@liambrunner3026 store the mind Palace in your mind palace
I called it memory palace
Call it meme lane you won't forget it
Thomas: stop taking your phone with you during meals.
Me: watching the video on my phone during dinner.
Same lol 😂
But lets just confirm. Benny Cucumber did sherlock holmes better
Y e s.
Agreed!!!!!!
True
I think both did good.
Jeremy Brett is quite on par
Spoiler : buy the hat.
Nope: WEAR the DAMN hat! ^___^
Sherlock Holmes never had a Foxcatcher hat it was never mentioned in the books please do your research
@@ironduke3229 r/wooooosh
Its Fedora.
And the coat
It sucks when you like to observe but aren't social. Then suddenly you become a creep. Personally, I like to observe everything around me, but I also try to avoid giving any input into the environment, but get caught and it's awkward AF.
EnterTheFatrix Agreed, trying to read people is difficult as you need enough time to be able to read them without it being weird. I once wanted to see if someone was tired by looking at their eyes and they ended up commenting that I was being creepy. Kinda sucked. I suppose Holmes can do it so fast because he has done it for so long...
EnterTheFatrix if you percieve yourself as a creep, then it might be the way you act or dress. Since you stated that you don't socialize that much, I assumed you're kind of anxious or maybe awkward around people? Ik, I've been there. But yeah, Sherlock is sometimes a creep, can't really avoid that.
Well, I observe people, kind of stare at them, but i don't leave it on one person, I observe many people, and I actually don't care if I'm creepy, it's even kind of fun to see their reactions, it's even helping me deduct them
i think you're doing it wrong, observation is not staring at someone creepily, its actively looking around, taking in your environment, creating a mental map of the place, and understanding the context of the situation.
Live The Future I didn’t mention staring at an individual. I did mention observing and looking around. However, when you get caught in the act of observation, it’s rather awkward. I remember getting noticed by security detail at the Met museum in NYC when I was observing all anti-theft installations in the place. The look I got was weird.
"We all know that person who has a lot of useless trivia"
That's me!
"...don't be that person"
Oh... okay... 😟
same lmao
I relate
He also said that it's only useless if you're not using that knowledge in the right way
No! Be that person, having knowledge from different spheres is not only good for conversations but also for creativity, new inventions and general usefulness. Learning stuff trains your brain and makes it better at learning c:
I relate
Rule #1: Stop using words like 'nerd' and 'geek' to describe people who like to study and research stuff.
Ayesha Irfan isnt that what they are
Ram DE MESA These words feel like you're mocking people for being productive and well read.
I just kind of embraced the term. I recognize that I am a nerd and have no issue with it. I've seen multiple people who were dubbed 'nerds' who carried out incredibly productive and beneficial lives. Therefore, being mocked as a nerd is truly more of a compliment than a harsh jeer at someone's character traits. So go out and be a nerd. You might enjoy it.
A nerd does not really describe a person who studies. It may be the description but it is just a word in the end. It’s not you
Ayesha Irfan Same problem. There's one time I got the highest mark on my class, and this dickhead(who gets a lot of fail marks btw) called me a nerd, plus, the stereotype with me wearing glasses.
High functioning sociopath - check
Thinking like Sherlock Holmes - check
Now all I need is that huge jacket, those slim fitting suits, and to move to London
I wanna vomit
remember the nicotine patched
Don't forget the hat.
The hat is everything.
And that sweet accent
London, is, GORGEOUS
incorrect decisioning.
0:59 I love this llama.
Django Ray nope it's alpaca
1:14 haha I love how you put that in to see if ppl would notice while you're talking, great way of implementing what you're talking about!
Lmao
I was wondering what that was.
Agreed, although it was easy to spot. I was just waiting for him to mention it.
I noticed it, finished the video without him even mentioning it, so had to scroll through Comments to see if anyone else saw it too.
I was watching Sherlock holmes season last night.. And thought how can i think like this.. And Bam here is your video.. Coool😎
Sama Zaidi Same!!!!!!
Freakin same!!
#1: Be a high functioning sociopath
Done.
Done
*With your number*
High functioning sociopath with your number *otter smile*
@@emmagachad8550 Whose number?
I personally think that Benedict is the best Sherlock of all. I'm so glad that he was in that role, because he did amazing job!
I haven't seen the older adaptations of Sherlock, but so far my personal favourite adaptation is the BBC one with Benedict Cumberbatch
If you want a "cinematic" version of the sign of four story, the BBC Sherlock series has the very same thing (in the pilot episode I think) where Sherlock deduces things about Watson's mobile phone (adapted to the modern era). Its really very accurate to the original and does a great job of explaining how he came to the conclusion.
"'Gucci Gang' is actually a subtle critique of Keynesian economic theory." Too funny...
Hmmm always thought that the reasons given by the character Sherlock Homes for deducing his facts were a bit lame as for sure there are a 100 different reasons why a given situation or bit of evidence could have played out differently. Sounds great when he explains and it seems to make sense, but it is just that people including myself are to lazy to think on it further. .
"You know without all the sociopathic tendancies and substance abuse"
Me while being destructive/self-destructive in other ways: It's fine I'm pretty sound minded.
Just by the way, it's 'tendencies' and not 'tendancies'
1. Deep Observation
2. Skepticism
3. Probabilistic Thinking
Thomas I love Charisma on Command as much as you do, so I'm loving the breakdowns you're doing. This type of video should be way more common across TH-cam.
This actually really helped me I now observe things better and can spot things before others. I am more attentive in classes remembering things that matter and putting it into effect and I also think more probably.
People like you .. Hats off : ) Thank you so much for imparting such great knowledge.. many people don't even realize they could work on such thoughts amidst the worldly chaos
Thanks for this video!!!! Congrats on the 1 million 😊
Love this video!! Thanks for breaking down his thinking process so well.. and thank you for involving me in your parkour explanation! :D
I desperately need a video about efficiently developing a reading list that saves you from stumbling upon bad books which may put you off a whole genre. and to help you read more books in more diverse categories. how to avoid abandoning the older items on the list for a random book that you just heard of .
Thank you for the great videos . I'm a Sherlock addict by the way. peace from Egypt.
Youstina Nagi 😱 I didn't knew I needed this until I read your comment. Yes, please do it!
Your comment it's a perfect example of - I use big words to seem smart
Parkour from "The Office" was a good addition :D
1:14 *A wild Magikarp appears!*
I truly enjoyed this video, I found it really fascinating! Keep up your amazing work! I love your channel so much, it has helped me plenty ☺️😊
Love the Sherlock Holmes stories in particular the Bonnie MacBird version. Also, I loved the breakdown of the deep observation, skepticism, and probabilistic thinking. Especially the point about using probabilistic thinking to recover a lost item. This vid was awesome! Thanks for sharing.
If you are interested, I highly recommend an anime/ Japanese novel/ comics called hyouka by Honobu Yonezawa. It's like series of story applying holmes method onto daily problem solving. I was also a good story of youth and romance, very nice.
The subs on the thomas sherlock scenes are hilarious 😂
No One JoJo's reference
Omae wa mou shinderiyou
I love your videos so much!!! Always engaging, interesting and beneficial! Thank you for your great content, keep it up!!
Excellent video, I especially liked that you recommended books, and also a seemingly really good youtuber. Thank you

Hope you guys enjoy this one! It was really fun to make. Check out the video on game theory I worked on with Jade as well: th-cam.com/video/t-D5yoknywM/w-d-xo.html
Love that you are into game theory. I'm an economics major, and that was and still is one of my favourite subjects to learn about.
finally your video is up , I was waiting for days for your video, till then podcast was everything ; )
OMG i love sherlock holmes so much!!
I always thought it was so cool in the movies how he could like... figure everything out just by looking around a room and picking out context clues and subtle actions to put together scenarios.
Cool video, Thomas! Thanks for creating this. Hope guitar's going well!
Thank you for this fantastic video. You deserve more views for the amazing research done :D
You should definitely do some bloopers! Loved the editing! Always improving ;)
I love this guys voice man ♥️
Me too
Who else think Thomas is basically the hottest nerd?
Andy Zaturno me too sister
yes
Hell yes
Me
He is the hottest. Period
Love This Video!!
Thanks for these videos!
Nice video man! I will definitely will watch more videos on this subject.
I love how you inserted a plush fish while talking about observing c:
yeaa i was like i see that!! but he didn't say anything about it so i was like what?
Imagine you learned how to think like Sherlock and then a crime happens
You: Ah yes, it's all comming together.
I'm always glad I subscribed!
Great video. I've always strived to think like the great detective. I read Mastermind and it's wonderful.
RDJ: good sherlock Holmes
Benedict Cumberbatch : best sherlock Holmes
0:22 Best Sherlock 👌🏼
This Video is underrated the editing is super good
That's the kind of videos that I need. Thanks Tom!
You geek hahaha. Very well made video this, I love how you pose the concept, explain and then give us actually tips for practical application. And I see your passion for these concepts and for Holmes persona / series. Well done Sir!
i send you love from Morocco
I Just started Watching sherlock yesterday .
Right time Tom .
Your videos are really helpful, thanks!
People actually have meals with others to only go on their phones? What's the point? Why not just eat alone and be on your phone, it's the same thing if you're not going to interact with the people there. I find it kind of rude.
Ok
Yes people do it. It’s kind of like when the average family sits in front of the television while eating. Nobody interacts, it’s just small conversation here and there. This is actually incredibly common for American families, but it is still horrible nonetheless
Or just don't eat.
dat acting awesome
Nice video! Just a small correction, when you mentioned inductive reasoning, you're talking about abductive reasoning. Inductive by itself simply generalizes and is not useful when you use only that. But abductive is the one that makes good use of probability and simplicity to narrow down the outcomes of inductive reasoning.
It's just terminology though, I love this video. It's going into my "Take notes" playlist
Love your videos. Keep it up man!
First like and comment. Woop
I just love how Benedict Cumberbatch delivers Sherlock's personality. He makes Sherlock really pop as a sociopath, and at times a bit of a psychopath.
I Really like your 45 min study vid😇👑
thank you bro!, this is really helpful😉
Thank you, Thomas. Very keen deductions.
>You may have noticed I didn’t use an ad
>continues to say how it’s possible because of skillshare....
He said that, and yet there was an advertisement at the end.
Please like love from south Africa
Thomas you're the best!
Also, big thanks to my girlfriend Anna for the acting help 😁 instagram.com/rainingcolordesigns/
no replies???
i didn’t know tony stark acted sherlock holmes
This video: Sherlock Holmes is the best detective in the world!
L from Death Note: **BOI**
I’ve actually never watched any movies or shows involving sherlock as anything more then a small reference but I adore reading the books at a slower than normal pace so I can mentally tear each thing apart. As i was doing this I started to think “how realistic and practical is this process and can I apply it if it’s effective?” and I figure thought process is as good as a place to start
Amazing video as always 😆
@1:14
sahil gangwani fish
thank god i wasn't the only person notice it, so what's the point of him adding in that fish?
Gaspar T just to establish his point that one must be aware of their surroundings
sahil gangwani I thought he is about to summarize it at the end about what we missed and what we should know at the end of the vid
Magicarp
If you wanna think like Sherlock Holmes , just think like him
and if you want to be successful in life, just be successful. easy!
I have been needing info like this for weeks
Thank You Thomas for these videos, loved every one of them I have watched so far. #fromKenya
How to think like Sherlock Holmes: having a genius level iq and becoming detective. Well good luck with that.
This isn’t Charisma on command, is it?
XxPlayMakerxX131 it's better
Great video!!
8:42 OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU... haha :D
I was scrolling down the comments to see if anyone noticed :D
NANI?!
YES!!!!🤣
7:50 Actually, Holmes uses primarily abductive reasoning.
Great analysis, was a very interesting watch
And that clip from The Office in there was perfect!
MAGIKARP ! (I havent finished the video yet.....) just an observation during the observation talk ;)
You should make a video about studying with ADHD!!!
Very nice video!!!
Thanks A LOT!!
Guy Richie’s movies where the best in my opinion, & most accurate to what I’d imagine he would be in actual real life. I love how Robert Downey Jr. played him! By far the most badass & down right awesome portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in my opinion. Those are my absolute favorite movies for sure.
T frank: hey honey I need you to put on this Watson cosplay
Girlfriend: why?
T frank: it's.... Uh... For a video
Haha, not gonna lie it was a fun time. Plus after years of cosplaying I am happy to grasp at any reason to wear a costume.
Anna Ellenberger yeah, having skits in there really helps to mix up the "talking head" template too, despite it probably being way more expensive timewise
Wear a hat like sherlock and u r halfway done
Could you make a video on how to budget? Or how to save money? Keep up the great work!
This video was much needed 😆
7:50 is that Goku i see in the background, I AM SHERLOCK HOLMES!
