The fact that they missed the chance to call this event "Tompetition" drives me crazy.

This needs to be a yearly competition now to see who gets to hold the title of "Best Tom" for the upcoming year.

14:32 TomSka wanted to win at Battleships so bad, he decided to immediately declare himself the winner by saying "I Won" (i1)

I love how you can say that “Tom was the best” or “Tom did bad that uno game” and there would almost be no spoilers

I was rooting for Tom the whole time, but I couldn't believe Tom took it home. Well played, Tom, and better luck next time Tom

Tom Scott's great at adapting to different people. He started to become more and more chaotic during the course of this video, as Tomska never ceased.

17:11 this is my favorite scene in the video, tom after thinking "ah yes, tomska has discovered my fatal error and shall finish the game swiftly now" and then hearing tomska say the COMPLETELY wrong thing, and tom has to re evaluate how hes losing

This is the crossover I needed. For years, my sibling (Tomska fan) and I (Tom Scott fan) have been telling each other, “Oh, there’s a new X video out,” to momentary excitement, then slight disappointment.

Really expected Tom to win that one, but Tom managed to really surprise me.

Dear goodness what a blessed crossover. For the next one, I wanna see Tom meeting Scott the Woz to see who's the better Scott

I am CRYING about the fact that TomSka needed a full five seconds to recover from realising the simple fact that 1982 was (then) 40 years ago.

That was by far the most tense game of rock-paper-scissors I have ever witnessed... Well done Tom, and you as well Tom.

I think we can all agree that this was a resounding victory for Tom.

I like how even after they both learned that the Blockbuster prompt was really "movies before 1982", they continued to try naming the earliest films known to mankind

The trophy being slammed on the table out of nowhere while the music swelled and they laughed absolutely killed me

The pure Chaotic Evil of producers picking rock paper scissors for the last game is chef's kiss

that rock-paper-scissors was a certified anime moment. tom fell victim to the classic blunder. perfectly executed, tom.

"Winner 2022" implies that Battle of the Toms is going to be an annual thing and I, for one, think that's a fantastic idea

Normally I am always rooting for a person at the end. But this time, both personalities are so amazing, I cannot choose. I'm rn at 25 minutes and I thought that my brain would choose a person at this point, but it only made it worse. Both people are amazing, both Toms. This is going to be interesting. EDIT: I cannot believe Tom won.

Tom's delivery of "Don't look at me." at the end of boggle is such a core emotion. XD

Several others have mentioned it already but please make this a yearly tradition. Heck, maybe each year you add another Tom into the mix?

Absolute incredible move by the producer to whip out rock paper scissors as the last game, to both their groans.

TomSka's Rock Paper Scissors trick was so absolutely flawlessly executed. The moment he did that I thought he might've been going for the dupe but he acted it so perfectly. Egad.

Can we please make this an annual thing? I don't care what scandals may occur, I must know who is Best Tom every year!

As an avid fan of both Toms, this was a Delight. Having RPS as the last game was absolute genius! This needs to happen again with more Toms

That was actually a really cool sponsorship segment, but frankly I think Tom deserved to win.

Can't believe the entire thing came down to ONE rock-paper-scissors game, that is just too funny! Absolutely delightful video, guys :D

The most underrated part about this video are the captions, I love how they’re colored differently.

I don't know whats better, seeing the chaos that Tom generates, or seeing Tom trying to comprehend the chaos. There's so much chaos in this video I love it. Hope there's more Tom^2 chaos

As a Tom, what an excellent display of Tom'smanship from both Tom's

I appreciate the spur-of-the-moment kinda scuffed quality of this as well because it just looks like fun rather than something super planned out and performative. Hope to see more types of video collabs like this on your free time.

Last night I looped the final moments of that UNO perfect game 20:15. Every time I was laughing more and more.. that last card moment get me so much after a while I was belly laughing so hard it was actually therapeutic and today I feel completely restored. Thank you Toms!

24:05 "How many times do I need to explain to you that nothing matters anyway?" Tom's nihilism is chef's kiss

The big brain move from Tom in the final game was a stroke of genius

god I love seeing Tom engage in wholesome content, he looks so happy and healthy. I won't reveal which Tom I mean

20:40 I love that they read the rules, noted that they were adding the house rule of stacking and then broke the rules immediately by ending on a draw 4.

I love how Tom starts with "ah, battleship game theory" and then puts two ships touching each other and promptly loses. XD

One, this should be an annual thing, and two, there should be more Toms coming to play.

When looking at your respective channels one really wouldn't expect this kind of synergy

15:38 the seriousness in his voice when he declares the hit is honestly kind of chilling.

"there has to be a logical strategy to this" "there is, and I'm afraid I know it" "I hate the way you are". Just an amazing exchange. 🤣

These two have such drastically different brands and vibes. This is fantastic.

i appreciate the color coded subtitles so much, props to whoever did that

19:58 love that he organizes his card by color. I do that, too.

Playing boggle against the “internet linguistics facts guy” is certainly a move. Love the vid you two are always so fun I’d love to see more

that was legitimately the fastest game of uno ive ever seen in my whole life lmao update: i just finished watching the video and i'd like to add that that was the most tense game of rock paper scissors ive ever seen in my whole life as well

I remember a friend telling me about "Tom Scott" a while back, and in my poor listening I heard "TomSka" and ran with it. Funny seeing the 2 actually cross paths like this

Okay, so... this needs to be a yearly thing. This was way too much fun.

"You choose to be like this every day and you could stop at any time." "No I couldn't!" And that's why we love you both.

The crossover we didn’t expect but all needed

I'm glad I don't have to describe what I'm watching to anyone else because "a British person named Tom watches 2 British people named Tom play board games until one wins overall" might seem a _little_ bit confusing

It's very interesting how the rules of battleship vary from what I'm used to. In particular (since it's a pen-and-paper game, traditional Russian rules): -In the setup, Tom Scott grouped two ships together. This is forbidden here, regardless if the border is orthogonal or diagonal. -When Tom hit a Tom's ship, the turn changed to the other Tom. In here, the player hitting the ship is allowed to make another turn immediately afterwards. -The exact composition of ships: the regular setup here is 1 4-tiled ship, 2 3-tiled, 3 2-tiled, and 4 1-tiled.

The fantasticness of Tom Scott Plus comes from the way the show always finds the perfect idea for each guest. When you've got names as similar as Tom Sca and TomSkott, there's no better collab than a showdown.

I've been thinking about it for a while, but this cements it. This second channel might be the best move Tom has ever made. The content here can be longform and interesting in so many different ways. I literally just watched two grown men play several childhood games for almost half an hour, and I was captivated the whole time. When it ended I poked my mouse thinking "Can't have been 27 minutes already", but it had.

This is the real reason Tom Scott is stepping back.

i love these two together because oh god, they could not be more different if they were trying

I REALLY want to see you get more Toms together for this next year. KZfaqrs, artists, friends, random people who signed up - as many as you can get.

The scissors double bluff was genuinely insane

you should make this a series, see if you can get in touch with other famous toms and compete to see who is better

Tom played incredibly well. Congrats tom on winning.

I’m going to need the two Tom’s to become a regular series now. You two make such a great contrast and fun dynamic

Now I need Tom Scott vs. Scott The Woz: who is the best Scott?

the one single marble was hilarious. also, both of them giggling at C4 was funny as hell too.

tomska saying “it’s just not the vibe” instead of “miss” is brilliant

The ongoing TomSkatt multiverse/bromance makes me genuinely elated. The dynamic between the Toms is so wholesome and bizarre; how two KZfaq stalwarts from vastly different fields of experience and expertise, and similarly disparate personalities can gel together so seamlessly is just… so great! It feels like the two hemispheres of the brain finally going on a long-overdue playdate, and discovering that they really enjoy each other’s company. Scott: the reserved, calculated, logical side. Ska: the witty, impulsive, emphatic counter. I demand that this becomes an ongoing series, or at the very least, we are treated to a broader TurboPunch - TechDif crossover. Thank you.

TomSka and Tom Scott playing against each other is literally perfect content.

the collab i never knew i needed until now! this was so fun and hilarious, i hope they do even more together

That was loads of fun! Thank you Tom, and Tom for all the Tomfoolery.

I think Tom picked this crossover because he realised that Tomska is the other three technical difficulties combined into one person

Star Wars is over 40 years old! Neither of them said Star Wars. Fascinating-

I love this, a lot. Been following both for a loooong time

while I love everything about this video, 8:11 is what always makes me laugh. The sheer emotion in Tom's voice MAKES this bit.

This is gonna be so good, I can't wait to see Tom win

Two of my favourite youtuber together, and the chemistry works so well here ! Hope to see more !

Of all the stuff Tom as done, I have never seen him this excited/frightened/energized. Well done Tom, you too Tom.

Next video: discover which Gary Brannan is everybody’s favorite Gary Brannan

As wholesome as a tall glass of milk. Please make this an annual tradition this time of year!

Legit would never have expected this collab. Two quite wonderful Toms from very different worlds. :o

It's so wholesome to see how they both make each other laugh so much! Honestly a great friendship.

I honestly wouldve never predicted that Tom would win. well played

This crossover was so good! How have I never thought that Tomska and Tom Scott would make a really good crossover? 😂

It brings me so much joy to see two grown men take a game of battleship so seriously. Great stuff

the collab i never knew i needed in my life. love this

"NO How could you do this to our poor little building??" "i have won" that smile makes me want to smile too

How bizarre... I found Tom Scott many years ago because I told my dad about TomSka and he misheard me and started playing a Tom Scott video XD

We're coming up on the anniversary

the fact that i would have been as equally as happy for either of them winning says a lot about both of them as people

This is glorious, you guys have 11/10 chemistry and there's constant laughter 17:15 we always called it the patrol boat. Maybe you could do a "what do you call the ships in battleship" survey akin to the Christmas song survey :D 19:28 _good._

This was the most intense board game session I've ever seen. I through that Tom had it in the bag, but then Tom made a comeback and managed to even the score.

Thank you for the subtitles!

I NEEDED THIS!! I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS! YES!

I've always wanted to see two absolute Goliaths clash, this is amazing Genuinely love both Tom Scott and TomSka, this is mesmerizing. Edit: Also, I just remembered, Elliott Gough edits for both channels, so this also works so well lmao

Tom: And now, a graphic about the actual rules of Uno. Me: Oh cool, he's gonna show us the differences between the official rules and the more famous house rules Tom: *scrolls the rules through the video* Me: You know what it's my fault for not expecting that

This was surprisingly entertaining for such a simple premise :D

25:43 You can identify the second one person's ego shattered and one person's ego grew 3 times LMAO Congratulations Tom for winning!!! Awesome video!!!

This literally couldn't have gone better, every round was hilarious!

This was the MOST pleasant surprise to see on my home page! Two of my favorite Toms from two different corners of the website FIGHTING TO THE DEATH BOARD GAME STYLE

Honestly, that ad read was perfect for your brand. Well played, Displate.

Tom and Tom have two drastically different personalities, but they work so well together. This video is great Also, Tom breaking out “Birth of a Nation” as his answer during blockbuster was an interesting choice

Playing table top games with Tom and Tom would be the most fun day of my life
