I love that what you call jump-cut-o-vision probably still has less jump cuts than the average TH-cam video, and you go through the trouble of putting a flash to cover it at least a little.
“Of course I memorized it when I was a kid. I’m a massive nerd.” Me too, Tom. Me too. And I’m sure that, like me, you flaunted that knowledge whenever you could.
I often saw carpets as unnecessary until I had children. They keep the ground warm, so you don't worry about them crawling, and it creates a padding for when they fall over...
Potatoes ARE the most important food of a Sunday roast.The best form of them is golden fluffy roast potatoes. I am very passionate about potatoes as you can see

I would highly contest carpets being unnecessary. In an apartment with lots of empty space carpets reduce echo and also decrease the amount of sound your neighbours hear. They also muffle drops and the like.
I had to go do some Googling... I swore Matt said "Lee Adama cheese." I couldn't believe a character from Battlestar Galactica had a cheese named after him. Ok, so it's actually Leerdammer. That's close, right?
If they're not roast, it's not a Sunday Roast, but a regular meat, tatters, and two veg that you happen to be having on a Sunday. Roast potatoes are what define a roast as a roast. The other things Tom mentioned are needed, but you can substitute within the category (asides gravy, but that's also optional) without it no longer being a roast.
while potatoes are always included in a Sunday roast in one form or another roasted/boiled/mashed (not chipped that would be weird) the meat and sides are variable so potatoes are the important part
Read them in your native language if possible, though if you're outside Europe the law that requires readable Terms of Service probably doesn't apply to you and any non-European corporations will continue showing you the same kind of wall of text as before.
Interesting that Matt and Tom's opinion on cheese would come out on "National Cheese Lovers Day" ...that's a complete and total coincidence but it's funny regardless
mmm yes pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis... I was once challenged to slip it into regular conversation since i enjoyed spelling it out for people and what not... I did... I had never felt so proud of myself XD to be fair I was 14...
Can someone fill this defiant colonial in and what their talking about regarding Partridge? All I can think of is "The Partridge Family" but I dont think that's what they're talking about.
The Anakin jokes are coming anyway Tom, any mention of sand and there they are. Matt is incredibly lucky not to get that reference too *shudder*. Also this had me in utter stitches at points, should do it more often 😂
What was that second word? I’ve heard of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis before but you said that second one a bit fast for me to recognize.
Ok, I got a challenge for you guys: Put floccinaucinihilipilification in google translate, translate it to german, let the translator pronounce the outcome and try not to laugh.
Pistachios are awful! I have literally only had 3 in my entire life. One when I was a kid (a human child not a goat child), one in my early 20s (to see if my taste had changed.. they didn't), and finally one in my late 20s (also to see if my taste had changed.. they didn't). I will never seek to try one again.

“I’ve Seen An Obelisk and I Liked It” - the follow up single to the hit “We Flew a Kite In A Public Place”
I would love to get that album.
I herd that in the tune some how?
I read we flew a kite in a public place in tune without having yet read the rest

wait, does this album include “How Autotune Works” and “If Educational Videos Were Filmed As Music Videos”?

You can tell Matt's got an engineering degree....
Robert Cook well, he is an engineer by trade so...
@Teamgeist a bachelor is a degree, it's not the highest degree, but it is _a_ degree.
I don’t like sand, it's coarse, rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
You beat me to it and I love you.
I like sand, good for rubbing in your butler's eyes. I prefer coarse.
Right?

"The Mersey keeps the Wirral as far away as possible so I'm massively in favour"
As someone who lives in Liverpool, I've never loved another human being more
Especially someone from the South understanding that the Wirral is useless.
I like how they say "we've both done fondue" as if it's a drug.
Better than the other meaning of doing.
Tom looking down at Matt after Matt said “it clears everything” was just gold 6:44
You can see his brain working and processing the information in real time.
"Kumquats!"
"I beg your pardon?!"
I can hardly breathe. That was brilliant.
I love that what you call jump-cut-o-vision probably still has less jump cuts than the average TH-cam video, and you go through the trouble of putting a flash to cover it at least a little.
Exactly.
The alternative that i've seen has been either changing the framing or, when it's possible, switching to B-roll.
Matt: Kumquats
Tom: I BEG YOUR PARDON?
Can we have another "Tom rambles/rants about..." episode, like the one about phone numbers, for RSS?
And, by proxy, arsefeed
Filmed in jump-cut-o-vision? Is that a supermarionation reference? Jeez, how obscure can you get with these references?
"I've heard of Anglia" I should bloody hope so, you live in it.
I must agree with Matt that roast potatoes are the most important component of a Sunday roast.
I’d say I agree with Tom.I don’t think potatoes are that important at all.
There's no reason not to have them. Although i say sweet potato can replace normal English potato in almost any situation
@@zyaicob you are dead wrong, normal potatoes are way more superior
@@Real_Xwisdom you and Tom have never had a decent roast potato! 😞
“Of course I memorized it when I was a kid. I’m a massive nerd.”
Me too, Tom. Me too. And I’m sure that, like me, you flaunted that knowledge whenever you could.
I often saw carpets as unnecessary until I had children. They keep the ground warm, so you don't worry about them crawling, and it creates a padding for when they fall over...
Carpets (rugs) are fine. Fully carpeted floors, on the other hand...
That picture of Tom looking at the Wirral in sheer disgust caught me so off guard, absolutely fantastic!
Potatoes ARE the most important food of a Sunday roast.The best form of them is golden fluffy roast potatoes.
I am very passionate about potatoes as you can see
Potatoes are the useless rice copycats.
@@elv3a424 Rice is a flavorless pile of long sand. Mashed Potatoes are the best thing for a barbecue or a roast.
Old post I know, but the best form of potatoes in my opinion is lefse (Norwegian potato based flatbread).
I couldn't rank them higher than the meat, but they're miles above the veg.
Considering the etymology of your name, this doesn't surprise me
Sees filmed in jump-cut-o-vision and thinks about many hours they had to cut out 😂😂
Agree with Matt on most of these, except bagpipes, unless they're played by an amatue, then yes they can *bleep* off
Uilleann Pipes, the Irish version are even lovelier to listen to.
Bagpipes just never shut up. That’s the problem
I'm still waiting for Tom to explain what's bad with the Wirral.
It is the Wirral.
Same here. Yes, everyone in Wallasey has webbed feet, but other than that we could be a lot worse. We could be Scouse for example
I looked it up, the extensive wikipedia article about the Wirral woul probably be of good use, for an episode of citaion needed. ^^
It exists.
fidur2 sadly, the Wirrald may never know the answer.
That motorbike low key sounded like a cow mooing so that was appropriate.
You've got the hair for Anakin Skywalker ;D
That's why he hates sand.
Yeah, not for much longer...! -- Tom
Fortunately Matt has enough epic hair (tm) for both of you. And possibly most of York and London together.
Firstly, this had me in stitches on the level of Citation Needed. Secondly, this made you two come across more likeable and "common guys" than ever before and I now want to be your friend. More please!
Nah, just let me come to the U.K. and be friends with you. No matter if you make more videos. I'd be satisfied if I can just hang out with you guys.
This episode also brought to you by Tungsten. “Want every shade of your video to look vaguely yellow? Try Tungsten”.

Spot on.
It’s a great noun, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
I could watch Tom pronounce this all day......
Meanwhile, I think his pronunciation of floccinaucinihilipilification was a bit wrong...
That was my favourite part of the video!!
ciara turner Great noun, horrible way to die!

“I hate the Wirral” is still a stark upgrade on “What's the Wirral?”
Memorizing floccinaucinihilipilification really has no value.
Oh nice self reference sir. Well done indeed!
;) Hoping someone would catch it
Could you have ended that sentence without the last 4 words?
@@zyaicob No it would have to be Memorizing floccinaucinihilipilification is floccinaucinihilipilification.
Get yourself someone, who looks at you, the way Tom looks at Matt
Many years later and I still love the eye movement and facial expression of Tom after Matt said “It clears everything out”.
I will FOREVER miss these videos. I just keep rewatching them every few years.
Me too 😔
This could very easily be a repeatable format. And I'd probably like it.
wasabi - clears everything - that downward glance.... :-D
I would highly contest carpets being unnecessary. In an apartment with lots of empty space carpets reduce echo and also decrease the amount of sound your neighbours hear. They also muffle drops and the like.

"for Christmas dinner I had potatoes as my main" same Matt same
A giggly Matt is pleasant
Potatoes are the most important. They were also my Christmas main. Matt is correct.
Boiled or roasted? If they're boiled, they're _only_ there to soak up the sauce, and are otherwise horrible.
If they're not roast, it's not a Sunday Roast, but a regular meat, tatters, and two veg that you happen to be having on a Sunday. Roast potatoes are what define a roast as a roast. The other things Tom mentioned are needed, but you can substitute within the category (asides gravy, but that's also optional) without it no longer being a roast.
boiled AND roasted. the best of both worlds
Alicja B.
Par-boiled and then roasted? That’ll work.
while potatoes are always included in a Sunday roast in one form or another roasted/boiled/mashed (not chipped that would be weird) the meat and sides are variable so potatoes are the important part
Let’s talk about the tweet that says ‘Cereal, van, sand, *pylon* ’
For a next quickfire episode. Your opinion on ToS (or Terms of Services)
They're getting more readable in Europe these days.
achu11th They're ToSs.

Nillie any recommendations for a ToS beginner like me.
Read them in your native language if possible, though if you're outside Europe the law that requires readable Terms of Service probably doesn't apply to you and any non-European corporations will continue showing you the same kind of wall of text as before.
Bagpipes actually sound quite nice... from 2 miles away.
I actually like the sound of bagpipes, it is the sound from bagpipes I have a problem with.
Sunday roast? Probably irony and sarcasm, with an edge of satire, and a popculture reference out of nowhere. Spice up with a pinch of memes for taste.
Feels like this is becoming: "Waldorf and Statler: The early years" So what do you think of The Muppet Show?
That was unexpectedly hilarious! You, sir, win. Hats off to you!
You do know we have tunnels through that river. You can't get rid of us that easily.
That was hilarious: please do it again!
Diana, Princess and Wales are all nouns. The only part of it that isn't is "of".
Well... technically Diana, Princess of Wales is a proper noun, a noun adjunct, a preposition, and finally a proper noun (adjunct?).
there is a comma in there too :)
"Kumquats!"
"I beg your pardon?"
Interesting that Matt and Tom's opinion on cheese would come out on "National Cheese Lovers Day"

The automatic captions for this one are hilarious.

the last 20 seconds are so relatable... no wonder I watch Tom's videos all the time
I love listening to you two ramble on.
all i can tell binge watching these is that Matt really likes crispy potatos
"I've seen an obelisk before and I liked it", is a very nice quote.
Loved the bit at the end. Matt just set Tom up for that perfectly
mmm yes pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis... I was once challenged to slip it into regular conversation since i enjoyed spelling it out for people and what not... I did... I had never felt so proud of myself XD
to be fair I was 14...
As someone who has had amazing roast potatoes, I can confirm Tom has never had proper roast potatoes while Matt has.
Kumquat is, like, the best fruit ever.
3:05 presumably they cut out a long dicussuon on why Tom shouldn’t have chosen cereal
I'm very disappointed by the lack of jump cuts. Please go watch "Hot Fuzz" and come back.
How could anyone not see that potato is the whole point of Sunday roast?!?!
Can someone fill this defiant colonial in and what their talking about regarding Partridge?

for a roast, meat is king, vegies are queen, and the duke is potatoes. gravy is the jester, and makes everything better.
Matt, on the last opinion bench, you mentioned the series called "Taskmaster"... I'd like to thank you for doing it. It's awesome.
Wait, he did?
I found Taskmaster independently, but I agree, it's awesome.
Time to clip Matt saying "Good Nut" And make a 10 hour version to upload to youtube

not as long as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
