One of the most perfectly performed pieces of amateur comedy out there. Still holds up all these years later.

From this to Prime Minister in 7 years. Doing alright for himself.

If David Brent and Boris Johnson had a child.

16 slices what a legend

"Some ridiculous hour like one o' clock"

This looks like it was filmed with Vaseline

"Do not leave me ouuuuut!" Haha

Just watched this again for the first time in years and am shaking my head at the pure quality of it. That this was done in one take is almost unbelievable. A pure masterclass in comedy monologue, but such a lesson in subtlety and sadness as well. So many themes and emotions are crammed into the five minutes it’s hard to unpack them all. How does the performer makes us both pine for and revile at the things he describes. Perhaps because each of us was once a member of his party, and in a way the story involves us all. How melancholy is the feeling of these years drifting away beneath the bridge of life.

LADS LADS LADS

2:22 "I think she was into footba- well, I...we were talking about footb- I was talking about football to her, y'know" Classic!

so many one liners- still using them with my friends 2 years later... fantastic video

Lads lads lads

Archbishop of Banterbury right here

Anyone who doesn't get this humour - you are this guy

The greatest scholar of our generation

Who's still watching this half way through 2019? ALL THE LADS ALL THE LADS EDIT: I'm stuck in quarantine in 2020 and I can't see ALL THE LADS 😭😭😭

I was genuinely slightly heartbroken when I learned that this is a character. I want this guy to exist, he's just purity.

Shot, shot, pint, shot, pint, sick

1 AM???? Absolute legend.

"16 slices, what a legend..."

Still gets me everyone time, “first stop the cinema” 😂

Thomas, your drum and bass throwdown at 2:40 is legendary

Olive skin, great beard.

This is most likely the best video on KZfaq...

Surprisingly good beatboxing though.

It's like David Brent in an Oxford students body. 'Shot shot, pint, shot - sick ' Priceless.

Girl comes across, ELBOW TO THE FACE!

I think we can all identify with the character Thomas plays; either in people we know or ourselves. His delusional view of himself is what keeps him upbeat and positive, regardless of the variety of hopeless situations he finds himself in. Very clever and well executed piece of self deprecating comedy. Have seen a few of Thomas' videos and often seen comments like 'Why hasn't he got his own TV show' In a selfish way I'm glad he hasn't as no doubt the very essence would be lost by 'big production influence' The low budget static camera phone and 4-6 minute monologue wouldn't be right for TV but fits in perfectly with what Thomas does here.

I typed in 'Stag' hoping to find a documentary on deer, instead I found this. Hilarious. Subscribed

8 years on still incredible

I mentioned Thomas James Gray at my high school reunion, as we all loved Tom's channel back when we were at school. Everyone still remembered it, 10 years on. Thank you Tom for 10 years of laughs! From Sydney Australia

Think he'd be great on the Inbetweeners

When he laughs he sounds like Yoda.

2016 and he still has the world chanting LADS LADS LADS

9 years later and this is still a masterpiece!

Alex from Love Island

Literally the best video on the net.

hes like a young david brent

I always need to watch this every so often just to remind myself how funny it is ! LADS LADS LADS !

sixteen slices. what a legend

Watching peacock tonight and we spent AGES trying to figure out how we knew you! Good seeing on the tele, LADS 🍻🍻

I can’t believe this is 7 years old

7 years later and still cant believe this is a genuine bloke

The fact that some people don't understand that this is a story fabricated for everyone's amusement and a great example of self deprecating humour amazes me. This is one of the funniest things I have seen in ages..., Great Work.

Thomas Gray (26 December 1716 - 30 July 1771) was an English poet, letter-writer, classical scholar and professor at Cambridge University. He is widely known for his Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, published in 1751.

Amazing video, ultimate parody of modern KOL influencer culture vlogging. Aged like fine wine

2024 and still a gem

Yeezy is the god within my religion bought me here!

This was very very well done and should really have been a TV piece.

A scholar and a poet, truly the chronicler of our generation

The best part is we've all met someone like this before

“Im on the precipice, I’m lookin’ down, I’m lookin’ down the gorge” 😂😂😂😂

underrated line.. "got the 6:45 train to london"

Aged like fine wine 🍷

Such a masterpiece after all these years

I come back to this video every year to make myself smile again, legendary stuff

All the lads just loooovin each other

Anyone else watching this during the COVID-19 quarantine of 2020? Wish I could be out having a belter of a weekend like this with my own cohort of lads. I miss having it large.

£10 take it 😂 ..... Watched this years ago.... still cracks me up now 😅

Hilarious, well done!

He's like a posh Brent with the laugh of the character in extras who says 'do the catchphrase' in the pub.. think it's brian gittins in derek lol

That's Paul The Party Animal Parker.

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen omg honestly though this is the exact type of humour I just find hilarious

This is the best thing ever

This is fantastic, he's like a blonder Brent.

"Some of the Hairier boys felt a bit uncomfortable"🤣🤣🤣

Watched Peacock on BBC for the first time a few days ago and knew I recognised Spooner from somewhere!

I think she was into football We were talking about football *reality hits him* I was talking about football

"Any girl comes over, elbow to the face!" hahaha

It’s that Tory off of love island

its 2020 and this is still one off the best vids on this whole website its amazing

I didn’t realise he was doing a character until it got to the train beers part 😂

Bi yearly comment to reaffirm this videos greatness.

A top 25 KZfaq vid without a doubt. Arguably top 10 😂

This is how aliens will learn about human culture

August 2019 and here to cheer me up. Do not leave me outttttt

When I get married I'm inviting this guy to my stag do, what a legend 😂, I ❤ it haha

To recap: A couple of cans on the 6.45 train to London The Sherlock Holmes film Pizza Hut Spoons Flat party Nightclub until 1am Did well to fit so much in, ladsladslads. Can well understand this being the greatest weekend of your liiiiife!

Glad this appeared on my news feed 7 years later, I forgot this video exists ‘lads lads lads’

Scott and Chris brought me back to this. If you know you know.

rewatching this in 2015

No matter how many times I watch it I still laugh

I like to imagine this is a video message to his ex he hasn't seen in 3 years

Ricky Gervais as David Brent. QUALITY

0:40 to 0:50 = the most painful ten seconds you will ever experience

I love how The Office is so ingrained in British culture that we can all quote it in whatever circumstance and just casually drop a Brent line. God bless the Britsh🇬🇧

This will never not be funny

I can't stop laughing at the "Do not leave me out" bit, so funny!

Off to pizza hut, 16 slices, what a legend.

I went to my sister's graduation and a few months before my family appreciated this video. At the graduation my family were at the student bar and wittingly changed the words to "ALL THE GRADS ALL THE GRADS!" chanting in the ladish manner. Needless to say we were not very popular among the SOAS graduates and their families.

I have slowly morphed into this gentleman over the past few years, and covid was the icing on the socially inept cake

Watching this years later i realize the considerable influence this video had on my joke and story telling. Remember watching it multiple times amazed at how captivating it is even tho hes chatting straight shite

0:00 Alex when he gets back from love island

watching "Call the Housewife" and Chummy reminded me of this lad so much I had to find this video again.... lovely

probably the best video on youtube

I started off laughing at him thinking it was real. Now I realize this dude is just fucking hilarous !

Boris Johnson and Rob Beckett = this lad.

If Britian was a KZfaq Video

I oftentimes take a pilgrimage back to this video
