Christmas Update

Hello, Smellies.

Happy Christmas (we said 'Happy,' not 'Merry,' in my household, and it's the only tradition I respect) to everyone who celebrates it.

Since I forgot to post about it here, as you probably saw, the Oof video went up for everyone else. It has, uh, exploded, in a way I wasn't fully prepared for. As a result, a lot of people have reached out with more stories and interesting notes. Somewhat shockingly, upon a close fact-checking by knowledgeable parties, my main mistake appears to have been giving Tommy too much credit. I don't normally do follow-up videos but one feels inevitable for this. I'm going to put it off for a little bit, just to make sure Tommy has time to respond if he wants to (or if he can, lol).

I have a little bonus video planned which I wanted to get out before I started travelling to see family for Christmas, but as I write this post I am no longer at home, so I've missed that deadline. I aim to get back and have it finished before the new year, along with a proper update on the state of the channel and what to expect going forward. It was fun keeping the Oof a secret but the next few videos are really stupid and I want you to know in advance.

Thank you all so much for supporting me making stuff. I continue to be astounded, shocked, and above all thankful, that this is my life.

When my loved ones and extended family open the awful gifts I got them because they are worth nothing to me, the brief flash of joy on their faces before they see what it is was brought to them by you, your kindness to me allowed me to afford to do so. Really, you are my real family.

Fuck off Dad,

- Harry

Whether Tommy posts a response or not, I 100% want this follow up!

Congrats on the success of this one! Also, just wanted to say that your Bloodborne video inspired me to beat the game back in April. I went back a few weeks ago and platinumed it. Now I'm starting Elden Ring. God help us all

Mike Amarilio

my dream is some sort of response video from Tommy, I would love to see it

ArtEnjoyer6

Frankly, whenever I read "Merry Christmas" I hear it yelled in Alex Jones's voice now. Thanks for that Hbomb!

Anarch Ion

I LOL’d at several points and then I felt bad because I love my family. Monster.

Doug Pasnak

I hope Joey sees your video and realizes his work is appreciated and there are people who still care about creators and actual facts. Plus, that video made me realise to never piss hbomb off.

Keef Baker

I appreciate that you take the time between videos for yourself and your process. It's not easy to be deep into other people's worlds to research a video and then translate that coherently. Sometimes, the most fascinating stories (such as OOF) are the most unbelievable and really challenges us to accept what our culture and society has wrought. You bring with that a deep sense of empathy that I definitely can feel through your generous portrayals of your subjects (even if they don't agree).

that oof video was spectacular thank you hbomb :) i've been rewatching your vidsm and i gotta say most of them are fantastic, funny, and informative (i don't agree with your dark souls 2 opinion but that's fine it's ok to be wrong sometimes ;)

Goof_209

The smart stuff is great, but you do the other stuff very well also.

Michael Llaneza

Why did you think we were following you if we minded that sort of thing?

"the next few videos are really stupid and I want you to know in advance."

Michael Llaneza

Hey uh where'd your Tumblr go? Twitter is sadly unusable for me so I'm missing the funnies

Your videos got me through the pandemic, god bless. Also, I know a half dozen larval TT's in the gaming industry... I don't know what the deal is with that industry in particular... but man the video gave me flashbacks to dealing with a former friend and colleague

Brian Haberer

Wow, I‘m No. 500 to like this post. I‘ve never felt happier

Daniel Thewes

Happy christmas

George Buck

Yay, I love stupid videos!

runningwithwolves

Just a little thing--presumably you've already found out about Tommy seemingly writing his own Wikipedia page, but that page also states (or at least stated when I read it) that he was the FIRST playtester at Virgin Interactive: that's right, the very first one. The provided source doesn't back this claim up at all. Extremely funny that even randomly looking up Tommy I found another weird insane lie without even looking for it--makes me wonder what other ridiculous nonsense he's said that nobody's realized yet.

Wakelyn

eyyyyy happy christmas, my dude!

Edwyn Tiong

I dunno about anyone else but I'm really looking forward to "really stupid" videos.

Eoin Dunphy

You're next video better be - Merry Christmas: A Measured Response - so that you can totally dubunk 'Merry' once and for all

Liquid-Easy

Hippity Happity Christmas 🎄. So happy you do this shit for all us sycophants. Cheers

Lynn Short

Coy Cadaver

autismsupersoldier

Have a catch, son.

Jesse Dusk

Happy Day Formerly Known As Christmas, Mr. Splimby! May your day be filled with the joy of watching your family members suffer as they try to look excited while opening the presents you got them. And remember, the War on Christmas is real and people are laughing at you for even saying “Happy Christmas” 😁 For real though, love the channel and hope you have a good holiday!

Moira Laidlaw

Oh, but he seems soooooo stable and not litigious at all😂

Orpheus Eleven

I knew I should've checked the comments to see if somebody else made the Bill O'Reilly joke first.

Penny Gotch

More lies? Did Tommy actually pay other people to write his music? Is Tommy's mother not actually proud of him?? Is he actually incapable of pissing and thus the waterfall doesn't affect him??? I'M ON TENTERHOOKS. Oh, and Happy Christmas! Not that we're allowed to say that considering the War on Christmas. Remember, as PJW says, it's not just some Bill O'Reilly nonsense any more!

Penny Gotch

Happy Christmas Harry!!

Conformist

Another solider in our war against Christmas has betrayed us! /s

durnsidh `

A very Harry Christmas to all, and to all an Oof night!

Colin Tougas

I’m truly surprised he hasn’t yet considering how easily bruised his ego is.

Sol Rabbit

Happy Christmas Harrence.

After the Flood

Merry Crisis! And if Tommy *does* respond, I cannot wait to see what a piss baby fit he has😂

Orpheus Eleven

Take your time. I'll await the treat of you continuing to roast Tommy. Also I have a feeling he was lying about his involvement with Earthworm Jim 1.

Chelsea Gertrude Cole

Don't push yourself too hard; it's out when it's out :) Also, I'm not your real dad.

Jacob Freedman

Happy Holidays eveveryone.

ReapMarv

Happy Crisi, Mr. Harrington! Looking forward to the coming videos.

Max D

Cheers m8 can't wait to keep Tommy's balls roasting on the fire

Chase H

Is Tommy's house really Joey Kuras' house? Is his mother really Joey's?

Sedric And Charlie

God I am SO excited for an update on Tommy's bullshit, and all the other silly ideas you have planned. Thanks for all the hard work you do!! I hope you have a nice holiday ☺️

AsterianMonarch

A very happy Christmas to you too !

Chloé - Saria

This is the Christmas gift I always wanted ❤️

Hollywhirl

Have a good one everybody ☺️

itspaddyd

That would be selling out

Wolfgang Bailey

CHRISTMAS?! Have you defected to the side of Christmas? Or were you always a double agent? I feel betrayed

Wolfgang Bailey

Yesss, there is nothing I want more than an update to this crazy ride! I keep thinking about the part where he claimed they designed the Metroid weapons around his sound effects. That might be the single wildest line to me out of a buffet of wild claims.

Mary Cagle

Harry won't even say Merry Christmas! This is not some Bill O'Reilly meme anymore. This is a full on WAR ON MERRY!!! Enjoy the holiday, hbomb, love the videos

A Baby Loaf of Tillamook Smoked Medium Cheddar

Happy holidays, hbomb! This video was an insane rabbit hole to fall down and I loved every second of it. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

David Altman

Oh yay…I love stupid videos! lol Happy Christmas! 💚

peachycliodhna

Each video you make needs at least 3 deadline misses to be good, so this is standard. Merry Holidays

Pasc4l

I’d honestly expect nothing less from a hbomb video. If you get one out on the original deadline I think I’d cry

Tsunaki189

Take good time to enjoy your relatives and the holidays, Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Merry Chrismun!

Seanny Sav

"When my loved ones open the awful gifts I got them because they are worth nothing to me, the brief flash of joy on their faces before they see what it is" i assume your mother isnt very proud

YeeeRCT

watch out harrison bomberman, you’re supposed to say happy holidays, or the american family will become too powerful!

Alex Baradarvar

I can't wait for the beard shaving video

Sean Ard

The video was great and honestly so was this post! Great work once again, tommy!

Terry T. [ERROR]

Hahaha, aaah, I suspected that more info would come out after the video. Looking forward to the follow up!

NickyT

Merry Crisis 🎄

Corran MacCorran

Please don't stretch yourself to get the video out before new year. I'm very patient I promise. Have a lovely break x

Rachel Wolfe

That Tommy copy and pasted his music from game to game, I can't believe it!
