RIP Sam Lloyd... you were hands down one of my favorite actors...
The character of Ted will live as a reminder of the importance of standing up for yourself in your job. Well, that and the source of a good laugh after a bad day. Absolutely agree - an incredibly talented actor and musician.
Still miss Sam a lot. Much love to the boys and his family, Thank you for sharing him with us.
That last shot crushed me...
It's Sunday morning here in Austria (you know, the country with the cows in the mountains, not the one with the kangaroos) and I'm sitting here crying.
As a child, I spent my Sundays in front of the television. My parents and siblings were still in bed, everything was quiet. Just me in front of the TV. My favorite show back then (and to this day) was Scrubs. The mixture of witty dialog, funny characters and tragic and dramatic stories not only made me laugh, but also made me learn and understand what can be waiting for us out there in the world. That not everything is always black and white.
Now, 20 years later, it's Sunday morning again. Instead of Scrubs on TV, I'm watching this video on TH-cam and fighting back tears and emotions. How I used to laugh with "The Blanks" and sing along to their songs.
I think it's time for a Scrubs rewatch. And I'm going to listen to all your songs today and sing along again, just like I did as a teenager.
Thank you for everything!
I feel similiar very well put
Ich bin froh The Blanks damals in Wien im Gasometer live gesehen zu haben! Haben auch ein Foto mit ihnen machen dürfen! Die nettesten Kerle ever 🧡 Sam fehlt so sehr 😢
I think I'll too will go and rewatch scrubs
Sam will never fade away. His music, comedic genius and spirit will live on for many, many, many more generations to enjoy.
Missed always, but never forgotten.
Dude, it's 8.50 am on a Sunday here in Germany. First thing i saw in the morning was: "Man, The Blanks just dropped a new video, gotta check that out!" And now I'm sitting here crying.
Same thing at 09.50 in Rome
Much love to you... I shed a tear too (hugs)
7:15 am here in Michigan and I'm just sobbing bittersweet tears. Thank you guys.
Schöne Grüße aus Berlin ❤😢💔 es ist 1:17 in der Nacht und habe es durch tik tok erfahren und heule mir die Augen aus😭
Fühl ich, aber beim achten Mal, in einer weiteren Nacht. Nicht zum letzten Mal.
It may have been 10 years since the last video, but I refused to unsubscribe, because it would be like forgetting you guys. I'm so glad I didn't... 😭 😭 😭
RIP Sam.
I'll never un-sub ❤
RIP Sam ❤
Thank you very much, very touching. Rest in peace Sam.
From Russia with love
What's James Bond got to do with this
I'm glad you got to do one goofy beautiful thing. You guys were something special. You can tell by the way you paid tribute.
I love, that you got to pay tribute to yourselves and Sam in this final video of your group as a whole. - I rarely say that anything is perfect, but this is. Thank you. Thank him. Well done.
This was beautiful, thanks guys. Goodbye Sam.
This band has a special place in my heart. Your music has been with me through years and years through happiness and heartbreak. Thank you for doing all that you do 💖
Goosebumps Guys, you made a capella cool to me ❤
Farewell Sam, this was a nice parting gift.
I’m in tears listening to this and remembering Sam. I played the Blanks version of hey ya at my wedding.
no kidding?!.. so did my wife and I. love that version of the song so much.
wow!
and heartbroken! Miss you Mr. Lloyd. Rest in power and in peace.
If the band ever checks this, I want you to know your songs are still in heavy rotation at our house.
"Hey Ya", "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and "Take on Me" were key parts of my personal soundtrack throughout
my 20's.
Now married and in my 30's, I stillI play them very often -- especially for my two kids. My two year old really loves "Hey Ya.".
I wish I could shake your hand or give you a hug. Thanks for all the beautiful music!
See this is why I never unsubscribed. Lovely to hear this, always liked you guys version on the show.
Sam may be gone, but never forgotten. Hope you guys are doing well too.
"Ghost appear and fade away..." 😭
R.I.P.
Now I'm crying. That was s beautiful way of homage for Sam and a gift for your followers. Thank you.
Was listening to your version of Hey Ya just the other night - Sam certainly never forgotten, left a big impression on plan of people.
Guys, you knocked it out of the park. Congratulations. Thank you for this.
Absolutely beautiful. RIP Sam, and never forget The Blanks.
I don’t comment on things often. This is worth crying for. I love this.
This was so incredibly well done.
Absolutely beautiful. What a lovely tribute. xoxo
Damn. I'm not crying, you're crying!
Thank you guys for the video
Omg I loved Ted's band years ago after Scrubs ended I had no idea Sam Lloyd was no longer with us so gutted :( RIP Sam. Amazing video and cover of my favourite song from the show.
Amazing
When I subscribed to this channel I didn't expect there to ever be any more uploads. Thank you.
Thanks guys. Riding the wave will still be in every car I own
Miss u😢❤
I came here looking for Guy Love, but while the page loaded, I wondered if the Blanks ever made a video addressing Sam's death. I wasn't ready for it to be this 😢
glad you guys are posting again!
Miss you Sam. Thinking of your family and those you left behind. Till we meet again ❤
Wild. Can't believe that there's another video on here now.
Beautiful.
Thank you, sincerely, for everything.
Still hurts... but You really make me happy, guys. Thank you for this song :3 RIP Sam Lloyd :'3
❤️ Love You guys! Always and Forever.
🙏🏼 Missing Sam
You guys have been so much more to me than just “Teds band”!
I wish you guys ( and I really mean it!!!!) the best of luck for your future.
I´d like to send you unrestricted and also unfiltered love fro Germany for everything you guys have done foe me (us) within the past decades!
Much love!
Just love this, and the band. I regret I didn't really look at The Blanks until around the time Sam died. A big blow, but you guys all are wonderful. This was really nice to see.
Oh my god, I'm literally sitting here crying. Seeing and hearing Sam and you guys feels like he's still with us. I can still remember vividly when I saw you at a gig in Switzerland in 2012. I was so looking forward to see you perform again and I still can't believe this won't happen again. Sam left us way too soon. I can't believe it's almost been four years. We miss you, Sam. Rest in peace. 😭😭
Thank you for this.
Thanks for one more video. It’s just what we needed.
This is pure Love!!!!
This both put a smile on my face and broke my heart at the same time..... my condolences to The Blanks and his family.... he was truly one of a kind. We love you, Sam! Always. ❤💔
Beautiful. Sam would be proud!
Wow okay I didn't ask to go to bed past midnight crying but HEY THANKS I GUESS-
(jeering in jest aside, this was an excellent cover from start to finish!!! R.I.P., Sam - you are dearly missed!)
Rest easy Sam. You are missed
just tears...
❤
Beautiful thank you for this
What a loss! Never forgotten but... What a loss! This clip is so touching. ❤
Sam's passing still breaks my heart. The man was insanely brilliant and genuinely funny. I hope his band mates are doing alright these days. And Sam's son
I will never forget Manchester Uk 2011 very heavily pregnant with my first kiddo and going to with family to see you all and meet afterwards. It’s a night I’ll never forget, my child also remembers the night too 🤣 first time I watched scrubs with him (he was a little older at this point) he said I remember hearing these songs but I don’t know how 🥰. Sam you are very much missed by the blanks following that’s for sure 💜
This was lovely and moving. I hope you guys are doing well and looking after yourselves❤
RIP Sam
Have the Same great time again☀️💪
Thank you, beautiful cover. You guys are still in my heart
If I remember correctly, they performed this song on Scrubs back in the day.
Guys, simply thank you. Miss Sam, grateful for all you have gifted us with during these years. RIP Sam, love you for your great job and dedication ❤
I had the Hey Ya cover stuck in my head from my last Scrubs binge, and found my way here. Incidentally, this is one of my favorite Men At Work songs.
Love this. Going to have to explain to my roommate why I am now gross-sobbing into my pillow, but it be that way sometimes.
❤
Thanks for everything Ted, Sincerley ❤
Thank you for releasing this.
This was a beautiful way to showcase Sam for us. Thank you all for sharing
Great memories…
One of the greats - farewell Sam Lloyd
My 18 month old daugther prefers The Blanks to sesame street, and indeed all other media! This morning we were dancing to hey ya, then watching this with her, then suddenly im being cradled by my wife racked by serious man tears. To think of what you have contributed to me and my daughter... I could write an essay. I love you guys, thank you. Peace from UK
i felt like being stung in my heart while watching this. thank you guys for all the talent and laughter you have shared with the world. i have spent the last 2 days listening to your music and skits. interestingly, i "remembered" some songs from my teenage years, from before i spoke proper english. so, for example, when "facts of life" came on, i danced and sang along with the same words that i had made up as a kid :D
appreciate you guys, please always take good care of yourselves. all the crying adults in the comment section should show you how dear you are to us.
Rest with grace Sam.
Tears and Laughter, these guys brought so much joy into my life over the years. Amazing tribute 😥
RIP Legend & keep on rocking legends
I'm still listening to the blanks and I always will :) Sam is missed but he won't fade away. Good to see everyone :) hugs to those who need them :)
What a wonderful goodbye!
I still find myself humming your reenditions of some songs on a weekly basis. Especially Take on me.
I love the Blanks and miss them a lot! 💛 Thanks a lot for sharing this video!
RIP Sam Lloyd, u are missed deeply
Guys, this is cool! We all miss Sam, but you must continue. Upload more, please.
A wonderful farewell.
Thanks for all the wonderful music. You four are what made me become a lover of acapella music.
Thank you for all your time ❤
Beautiful
I have goosebumps. Rest in Peace Sam, we will always love you and your character Ted.
Z’’l Sam Lloyd, may your memory be a blessing
Thank you for this delightful tribute. This is such a nice little thing to find on a Sunday
Didn't catch on until pretty late on but appreciated the music greatly. Ive been looking forward to this for a while as overkill is one of the songs that had the most impact on me personally. That said i didnt expect to experience so much emotion upon watching the video. Many thanks for the good times blanks and for the unforgettable work you've done
R.I.P
Loved this cover.
10 years - wow
A pleasant surprise
Rest In Power, keep singing.
Thank you, what a treasure
One day someone somewhere will think of you for the very last time and then you will fade away from the world forever. Until then, if you have people who loved you, if you left art behind, your time on this Earth becomes much, much longer. I make an effort of remembering people I admire often, so I can bring them to life for just a little longer. The blanks is a band that comes often to mind, Sam will never fade away for his art was too good, and the people who loved him are too. R.I.P. Sam.
This is great! Sad to know about the passing of Mr.Lloyd this way though. RIP. But hopefully there's more music.
I miss that dude.. such a beautiful voice.
It just hits right in to the heart
Thank you for the music guys, so many treasured memories associated with your music. They come flooding back every time I listen to one of your tracks. RIP Sam ❤️
Miss all of you....
Two things I always loved from the show Scrubs. This song, and this band. ❤ Thanks for sharing this haunting rendition with us all.
You guys made a great tv show even greater. Thank you for everything!
From New Zealand, thank you boys so much for this.
