he's too smart to tell an actual offensive joke on camera hahahaha

It's adorable that that is the rudest one he can think of.

Even his drums sounded proper.

oh Tom Hiddleston even when he has to be offensive he's just so polite and adorable

I didn't even laugh at the joke, I laughed when he said "ba dum tsh."

Monotone: Ba dum tish This is why I love Tom Hiddleston

the original rude boy

A vertically challenged person = short = "Small" Escaped from high security prison = a runaway = someone "at large" Commune with the dead = Psychic = "Medium" "A Small Medium at Large". It combines the three general size indications to describe one (small) person. It's basically just a pseudo-clever play on words.

All his interviews are adorable. One time someone informed him that his fans refer to themselves as "Hiddlestoners" and he replies, "Oh dear...that sounds awfully violent." Like he thought it meant "stoned" as in throwing rocks at people, not "stoned" as in "he's so awesome that people get a little contact high just from seeing him," as I can only assume the name means. Just too cute.

Ba dum tish for you as well my lord. 😂

I swear, he's the most adorable person ever.

Hey what do you call a Brit who can't tell a joke? -Tom Hiddleston

Captain obvious, here to save you all. Vertically challenge - he is small Can comunicate with the dead - he's a medium escaped from a high security prison - he's at large ''A small medium at large''

That 'ba dum tush' made me laugh instead of the joke xP

I laughed. Halfly because I actually got the joke and halfly because of the 'Badum-tish' and his failed attempt to tell an obscene joke, that isn't too obscene to begin with. Haha. He's still very charming in his silliness. :)

I got the joke from the get go but the way he says it is so awkwardly adorable. Haha

no one laughed and he just looked around like: why is no one laughing at my joke :(

You just ba-dum-tush'd my feelings, Sir.

BA DUM TSSSHH that was funny AHAHAHAHAHAHA

i love how he says 'vertically challenged' while most people would probably say 'miget'

Oh Tom you end up being the polite, adorable guy you are, and ba dum tshh is like so adorable!

I love how he says "ba-dum tush" , like he knew it was an awkward situation so he tried to make it as adorable as ever. Amazing.

im a simple man i see tom i click

Loki, stabbing people as a hobby: "I'm a bad guy" Everyone: "Ohh, he's so cute!" Tom Hiddleston, telling a rude joke: "I'm a bad guy" Everyone: "Ohh, he's so cute!"

Really Thomas? is that your offensive joke? ok I love you

They said it in the title: "tries". Better luck next time, my friend

I still can't get over fact that 1:he found the joke effensive and 2: that he found it funny

Why do I giggle every time Tom says "but dum tish"? I just can't help it...darn you Tom for being so cute

Oh Tom how silly. Now I see why the title says "tries" - that's not a rude joke Tom! :P

OH MY GOSH HE ACTUALLY DID THE SOUND EFFECT @GOD WHY IS THIS MAN SO CUTE HELP

I love that he can't even say 'short person'

tom: *tells joke* interviewer: ..... tom: ba dum tshhshshs THIS IS WHY I LOVE HIM

Did he just call shorties vertically challenged, he's just the sweetest ❤️😂

I’m telling you, he gives me one of the biggest smiles I’ve had in a long long time.

I love how eventhough the question was about offe sive jokes he actually censored himself whilst telling it. This is why he stalled and seemed awkward. The joke is only offensive in it's original form due to PC rules nowadays. I bet it isn't the most offensive joke he has ever laughed at but because he is such a gentleman he is intelligent enough to not repeat anything that would tarnish his reputation and hence affect his career. Clever man. Think he is such a great human being.

Tom Hiddleston and "rude" can never be used in the same sentence. He's incapable of being offensive or rude. Poor Tom! 🤣🤣🤣

Interviewer: most offensive joke? Loki: it is adorable that you think you can manipulate me.

He's literally the classiest dude in Hollywood I swear lmao

I love how confident he was at the end. Ba dum tish. Period.

I wonder how drunk he was when he laughed at that! LOL

HE'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIEEE

Gosh, he's gorgeous!

*NoticesThatAkwardMoment* "Badum - Tshhh" *AndMakesAFunnyJokeOutOfIt* ^^

Aww, it's so adorable that he thinks the joke is offensive. He's such a cutie!! I laughed at the badum-tsh as I'm sure a lot of people did!! Love you Tom

Badum-tish?...More like Ta-da!! Eheheh...

He's just gorgeous, always and those eyes of his.

I laughed WAY MORE to the "ba dum tish" than the actual joke 😂

Please God create a tom hiddleston for each fangirl. :) He's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

I sat there the whole time waiting for the "Ehehehe" #dissapointed

haaaaaaa i just cant stop looking without adoring him. he is so adorable

Thanks for all the comments explaining the joke. As a non-native speaker I had no clue what "A small medium at large" meant because I didn't know the term "at large". So thanks to all of you explaining that. It isn't often that I learn something when reading the comments on youtube ;)

He was really struggling with that one cuz he's such a good boy

He's just so damn adorable. I got the joke and I luaghed a bit. The 'badum-tsh' part is what made me laugh.

Yep the title is absolutely correct, "he tries" how adorable!!

God, his eyes... ✨

I cannot get over how exceptionally GORGEOUS Tom looks in this video!! (more so than in others)

omg but I think this is the silliest joke I've ever heard (probably more than the knock knock jokes) but I still don't get it! I think I was lost in how much adorable and silly he was and asdfghjkl

Title changes to "Tom Hiddleston being cute for 40 secs" 😂 Omg I love him, the only man that can be so gentle and polite even when he's telling a rude joke ❤

Title: Tom Hiddleston tries to tell a rude joke Emphasis on *tries* 😂 Toms just to adorably polite. I love him so much😂😂

I died at ba dum tish. XD

he says vertically challanged lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is so so so so so so adorable!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Solid effort at being evil Tom. Well done. We'll just leave that to Loki though.

Key word "tries". We love you Tom and all of your failed attempts at offensive jokes.

he's so proper Even the drums have manners

You just ba-dum-tish your way into my heart good sir. He's so cute!♡

When you’re too wholesome to actually be mean

He even does the drums XD

Ba dum tush is the most adorable drum noise I’ve ever heard

I can listen to his voice 24/7 💙💙 my godd!! My heart beat!! 😍

That was just so adorable! He's so lost and handeling it so well

And he's so happy at being able to tell the joke😂😂😂😂😘😘😘😘 bless him

"Ba dum tush" 😂😂😂

Favoriting for the "Badum tshh"

there were so many "umm" and "uhhh" while he was trying to retell that joke

what do you call a midget that escapes from prison? a small medium at large. i dont think thats funny but if he does...so do i!

That’s the most elegant and polite “ba dum tsh” I’ve ever heard

Tom: "it's funny if people are brave enough to pull the curtain away and show you what's really there" Hamlet: "I can show you, what's behind this curtain... oops, it's Polonius' dead body!" Horatio: "Hamlet, please!!!" Tom: /still fascinated by Hamlet reacting to his words/

It's so adorable how he tries to tell a rude joke and CAN'T! This was just so cute. :))) I know many a celebrity these days would have no problem whatsoever telling the most obscene, profanity-ridden, offensive out there. But our tom tried and failed.

The audio must be wrong bc I cant hear anything, I just see two fkng magical eyes shinning hard

Agreed with him he proves a point! Offensive jokes aren’t funny 🥺

I laughed harder at that joke than I thought I would. xD

The part he said ba dum tussh i laughed so hard idk why🤣🤣

I didn't even laugh at the joke I laughed when he said "ba dum tish" 😂😂

"ba-dum-tshhh" OMG MY HEART MELTED

“A” *British accent* “vertically challenged person” oh my god he’s so nice

"oh my goodness'' omg

I would have laughed anyway. He's very sweet. :)

Ow cmon! Hes a little muffin! 😌

Actually it was one of the best jokes I've heard recently!

See but we love a smart man. He's kind. He knows that all kinds of people watch him and look up to him, and he was actively making sure he wasn't going to offend any one. I'm sure that wasn't the only offensive joke he thought of or even the last one he heard. But this is why he's great. A man that watches his actions and words like that isn't gonna have any allegations rise up in two years lmao

0:43 "ba dum Tish" YOU ADORABLE ANGEL

TOM IS SO ADORABLE OMG❤

He's so polite 🤣 Tom, just tell dark jokes! We'd love you just the same! 🤣

"Ba dum tuuushhh."

I laughed way too much at this. His face when he delivers the punch line!

He is too nice to be rude 😂😂

BA DUM TUSH! xDD He's so adorable I can't handle it! ♥♥♥♥

He is so polite it’s unbelievable he is just to kind

I like how the title says "tries" because he's literally the kindest person I've come to know so far

No wonder that this guy was introduced to the larger audience as a villain (Loki) and ended up being one the most followed heartthrobs.
