  • Tom joked that he was made of “90% sarcasm and 10% eyebrows.”
  • According to his social media biography, he’s good at riding Heelys, the shoes made with a small wheel on the heel, and can also make “a mean Robert De Niro face.”
  • When he 1st started out with YouTube, he used to procrastinate a lot because he thought the lack of filming equipment stopped him from making quality videos. Tom later realized that all he needed was an internet connection, a smartphone, and a computer, even a weaker one than he anticipated.

  • Tom’s most embarrassing moment was when he dreamed he had to teach someone how to pee. In reality, he woke up having peed his bed.
  • The most embarrassing fart story Tom remembers dates back to the 7th grade when he was in middle school.

He pretended it wasn’t him and kept reading, even though everyone looked at him.
  • If Tom went to Hogwarts, the school for wizards from the Harry Potter franchise, he would be sorted into Gryffindor.
  • The one thing he regrets from high school is not pursuing drama club. He enrolled in the classes and liked it, but kept thinking that he wasn’t “cool and popular” enough and stopped.
  • One of his favorite moments from his childhood was when his 7-year old niece pushed his brother in the rush to get cookies, and he got burned on the cookie tray trying to fight her off.
  • YouTubers that inspired him to start his own channel in 2014 and make videos were ‘The Fine Brothers,’ ‘The Vlog Brothers,’ Markiplier, JacksFilms, Grace Helbig, among a few others.
  • If he could have a superpower, it would be the ability to stop time.
  • His favorite character in The Walking Dead TV show was Bob Stookey, but he died in season 5.
  • If Tom could play any professional sport, he would be a mini-golfer.
  • He has 2 dogs named L-roy and Emmett. Tom also really wants to have a pug, which is his favorite dog breed. However, he also wholeheartedly loves traveling, which prevents him from getting one.
  • He prefers cats over frogs, even though he likes seeing or playing with frogs in video games.
  • The best decision of his life as of November 2015 was moving to California, United States from Boston, Massachusetts, United States, where he grew up with his 2 brothers.
  • In 2016, Tom stated that if Donald Trump became the President of the United States, he would build a wall around his house and make Donald pay for it.
  • If he had to use fruit as a weapon, Tom would pick a banana because everyone would be “slipping and sliding around.”
  • He is a big fan of the TV series Drake & Josh (2004-2007) and has tried recreating their iconic looks with his roommate Brian in mid-2019.
