Beautiful Mind - Tom Cardy & Brian David Gilbert 

I’ve never been to America I’ve never met BGD, artificial intelligence has gone to far you will be hearing from my legal team

so this is what getting a good grade in therapy looks like -R

Never thought I'd see Freddie Mercury and Jesus collaborate but it's amazing!

BDG letting his hair down while intensly singing "big pies with big eyes and big thighs" is my sexuality.

The transition to BDG dancing alongside Tom Cardy both wearing Tom's iconic white singlet and black gym shorts gives me life.

welp, this is outstanding

"I can see the past and the future as one. Also a honeybee holding a gun" Brian's future as a beekeeper is already looking promising

I love how Brian says what he sees like he's having visitations from an angry god and Tom says what he sees like it's the most casual thing in the world

I love that it blends from Tom's editing style directly into Brian's editing style, its such a fun stylistic choice.

I legitimately gasped when Tom and Brian appeared in the same room. It seems logical that "two people who colab probably met up" but the idea that the two would colab seemed like a distant dream, the fact that they could've existed in the same place felt like an impossibility

Brian's delivery of "Why does he keep watching Speed 2!?" is a very underrated part of this video

It's wild how consistent both Brian and Tom are at creating songs that are quirky and funny but also rock solid chunky-ass bangers that I want to listen to over and over.

What did we do to deserve this collaboration? Whatever it was, let’s do it again!

BDG, Tom Cardy and Jazz Emu have to be some of my favourite artists in the "surreal and niche horror/comedy" sphere so having even one of you collaborate with another is a dream come true!

I'm so impressed by the production here, how did they get so many tests that look just like my parents arguing??

"DOCTOR HOLDING A BIG BOTTLE OF TONIC BUT THE BOTTLE'S FULL OF RINGS AND THE DOCTOR IS SONIC" has been on a loop in my head for the past several days because the line is so slick and the way the synths go bananas right afterward is divine also, the fact that one of the absurd, outlandish, and fantastical images conjured in this song is just "jimmy fallon with a hat on" is sublimely funny

WE MAKING IT OUTTA THERAPY WITH THIS ONE 🔥‼🔥🔥‼🗣

Something about the reveal of Tom Cardy not just recording from home overseas is so incredible.

It’s been 4 days since this masterpiece released and I have had “Jimmy Fallon with a hat on” ringing through my head constantly ever since

Wait, this is a song about neurodivergent people becoming best friends, this is incredible.

Definitely not a collab I expected, but this is amazing

We need more Tom Cardy and BDG together. Both immensely creative and talented, what a joy this song is.

The hair flip at “Big Pies with Big Eyes and Big Thighs” taught me something about myself.

Tom is yelling "DOCTOR" at 1:17 like he's a Dr.Who villain xD

As a weirdo myself, i absolutely love how this perfectly encapsulates the feeling of finding someone else thats the same flavour of weird as you and weirding together without shame.

Sometimes being an insomniac pays off, because I get to watch BDG at 3 AM with the Demons and VVitches.

“a lawyer and a barber barter baubles underwater and the lawyer and the barber disagree on the fee” is SO fucking syllable and i think i could just use that line instead of adderall because it makes my brain happy

I love the costume synchronicity. Starts off with Tom suddenly wearing the therapist outfit, which is par for the course. But by the end, Brian is wearing Tom's classic vest and shorts combo. They really are both of a beautiful mind.

I absolutely adore how they switch outfits when the roles are switched. The sweater is reserved for the psychiatrist, the dress shirt for the patient. The seamless switching of outfits as well as power dynamics is wonderful, resulting in them both donning a tank top as they make themselves bare to the world, hiding nothing

I sometimes find myself asking, "Where has BDG been? He hasn't posted in a while." And then he comes out with bangers like this and honestly? Take all the time you need. Take a year. Make truly amazing content like this if it takes all the time in the world. We'll all be here to cheer you on.

Brian's look of childlike, wondrous shock at 2:28 is so pitch-perfectly hilarious. It's like a little kid who thinks his parents are taking him to the dentist but they're actually going to Disneyland.

Tom's music and mixing plus BDG's editing plus Karen's filming = OH YES Excellent work to everyone involved, you have beautiful minds

Honestly I don't ever expect Tom to top his last song but he always breaks that expectation

The mixing on this is MASTERFUL. Also cannot express how cool it was to have the split-screen false start transition into an on-site collab. Great song for a great time

The short bit from 2:05 to 2:10 is some of the most mind boggling editing I’ve ever seen.

one of my favorite aspects of this is how it starts in Tom Cardy's editing style w/ the vertical video in that same room he always films his videos in and then it gradually transitions into Brians complicated editing style

I'm so thankful that you did your laugh video years ago, because following your channel for the last few years has been the peak of what youtube can offer

Never in a million years did I ever think this to be a collab possibility, two of my favorite silly music fellas becoming a force of nature together, but my third eye has been opened and I now have been blessed with a beautiful mind. Edit: I keep coming back this and I just gotta love how the music video features both of BDG’s and Tom’s filming styles, it’s just so damn good

0:54 I'm so glad this continues the Tom Cardy collab tradition of having a given song's most ear-worm section sounding completely unhinged out of context.

I never thought I'd see Tom not only outside of his room, but actually moving around in a space as well instead of teleporting

I've been obsessed with Tom Cardy lately and I've always been a fan of Brian David Gilbert, so this is a gift from above

You know what else is beautiful? That incredible transition from the Tom Cardy content format to the BDG one. Also all the matching outfits, and switching clothes with eachother when they switch the therapist/patient role. I rate this video very good out of 5.

OMG! Just noticed at 2:45 Brian has the Earring from Tom. They did really unite their minds

we did it. random humor from 2010 has come back around and is now also good and funny again. i cant believe it

Have been hoping for this collaboration for so long. Beautiful song!!

_“I don't think it looks like a tree…”_ The way this moment lingers is just perfect.

I have to say, Tom Cardy brought me here and I couldn't be happier that he did. You are so full of talent and seeing both of you work together, it's an unstoppable duo. I'm a happy subscriber now and am excited to see more in the future! Love your spooky covers, especially the Bee Dee Gee's Hee Bee Bee Gees Stayin' Alive, by the way. Those are fantastic and you have some SERIOUS PIPES, my guy.

The Doctor Sonic line lives rent free in my head

I can’t believe that two of my favorite online entertainers decided to drop a collab like this. I see a tender, talismanic twosome tearing up the turpid topography… I mean… I foresee great things…

The concept of one psychiatrist saying what he sees in an Rorschach ink blot test and the other responding with "yes" made me laugh so hard. Beautiful work

Shoutout to that one person who commented “I need the collaboration between Tom Cardy and Brain David Gilbert now”

**living** for the way you two are so gently and effortlessly bringing the softness to the standard manly man look and behaviour it's beautiful also, as to be expected, the song is awesome!

"Doctor holding a big bottle of tonic, but the bottle's full of rings and the doctor is sonic" goes so unbelievably hard

This is a crossover I have wanted to happen for ages and I am so glad it is even better than I had hoped it would be

I'm sorry but the hand clasp transition is so clean

I love how all the other lines are so insane and then there’s “jimmy fallon with a hat on” 😂

1. Song slaps 2. The editing is freaking phenomenal! Genuinely compliments the song so perfectly while also being chaotic and weird! 3. I am scared to want more from this combo as I’m afraid yall are too powerful together

This is actually the most meta song ever. It's just a song for those of us who have been begging for this collab because we think Tom and BDG are geniuses with perfect synergy.

best song written since kiss from a rose

*"I CAN SEE THROUGH SPACE AND TIME, AND A BUNCHA CLOWNS BEATING UP A MIME!!"*

what so absolutely haunting about this to me is that literally last week i was telling a friend that tom cardy was like an australian brian david gilbert and now theres not only a tom cardy/bdg collab, but the collab in question is about them having the same mind. the main difference between the two of yall is your editing styles, but this is the exact fusion of those two things. its giving me chills

The moment I realized what this was, I knew this was something I needed in my life. Sadly, Tom doesn’t even even wanna sell it to me anyway. Thank you, Brian, for making this happen. And Karen for filming these two majestic creatures.

The attention to detail in this video is insane! The directional audio during the tree debate is wild, and the fact that the white text goes purple as it interacts with the background is actually insane. I can't imagine how long it took to make this, but it came out perfect

no matter how much or how often i watch this i cant stop wondering why, from the first time i watched it, the "Speed 2" joke feels like a running gag, when really i dont think I've ever heard that name ever before. like the first time i head the words it feels funny as if an old joke was being referenced when actually, the words were only mentioned 2 times in this one video, and its the FIRST of those times that give me the feeling of having heard it before. how can they so flawlessly give the feeling of continuing an inside joke without actually doing so???

You know, I don’t know what I expected from your collab, but “A psychiatrist and patient realize they share a mind through the power of Rorschach tests” probably wasn’t it.

Brian's editing style with Tom Cardy's musical style is straight fire🔥🔥🔥

The lyrics and concept are soo BDG but the song and acting is so Tom Cardy, truly a meeting of beautiful minds.

FINALLY! The first two men to ever solve the Ink Blot Test! Bravo! BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏

This is honestly the collab none of us know we wanted but now that we have it it's the collab we obviously needed, I think I've listened to it at least 12 times by now.

I'm actually obsessed with the journey the synths take in this; the opening being very arpeggiated and off kilter, then moving into longer and more cohesive phrases; the transition from spoken intro with that off-kilter beat in the background to a steady heartbeat; and from that to the synths harmonizing with the vocals during the chorus. Mirrors the story SO WELL, i can't get over it.

ok who's going to call Neil Cicierega to join you for the next one

Those harmonies at 1:40 have me DEAD, your voices match so well!

The fact that all your songs are subtitled makes them unironically some of the most accessible on youtube. The fact that I don't even need to turn on subs for this one AT ALL doubly so. Thanks from the HH gang BDG.🧡

Two of my favorite artists, together--what a wonderful treat!

I love the setup for Sandra Bullock's Speed 2.

Weve had jazz emu and value select, now we have Tom carry and Brian David Gilbert, all that's left is all four of them at once!

i love the way you can hear their respective music and editing styles come together in this one, such a great collab

Never expected a collab between you two but I definitely should've, this is wonderful

It’s occurred to me that this may be the top of my Spotify rewind for 2024…

This is so freaking good. As a poetry nerd (and writer), I am absolutely head over heels for all the alliteration and assonance in the lyrics. Bravo, gentlemen. Bravo.

That was...incredible. This was a duo I never knew I needed, but now can't understand how I could ever have done without. And the editing is just masterful. They even made it look like an Australian was in the same room as an American. That'd be zany.

This is the duo we didn't know we need, but the only one that can pull humanity to salvation PD: I'm not surprised by the amount of overlap of Tom and BGD fans out there

This is legitimately incredible from a musical perspective. The production values are off the charts and 99% of pop can't hold a candle to the complexity. The lyrics and the comedic conceit are of course the highlight but I could literally listen to an instrumental of this.

I just cannot get over how perfectly edited this is..! Collab from probably the two best music comedians in the world right now, what a gift 😁

Definitely did not A) crow in joy upon discovering this, B) shout with glee when Brian and Tom arrived in the same room, or C) watch this five times in a row. It's difficult to imagine a more perfect collaboration, because this is overwhelmingly amazing. Dying to know who called who first.

The whiplash I experience going from “doctor holding a big bottle of tonic, but the bottle’s full of rings and the doctor is sonic”, which has a beautifully smooth cadence and bounce, to “Jimmy Fallon with a hat on” is indescribable Beautiful song from two beautiful men, good work gents

I cannot get over how good this song is, the transition as Tom says "Give it to me straight doc, what do you see" not only feels natural but is also a surprising twist, and how he's now wearing the same sweater, or how when they disagree on the rorschach test, they aren't wearing the same outfit anymore, but immediately are again when they reconcile, the whispers of Speed 2 when we hear Brian's obsessions, which is payed off when of course, one of the rorschach tests reminds him of Speed 2, the insane overlappnig point where its clear both Tom and Brian have like, the exact same face structure.

I cannot express how much I love the part at 1:33

BDG songs never fail to be incredibly amusing and genuinely good to listen to

It never occurred to me that you both would do a collaboration. From both of your singles and albums , it's clear that this was meant to be. This has been such a treat. Keep up the beautiful minds!

I love when hes having the mental break, you just hear him talking about Speed 2 and then it's also lyrics in the song later...Just genius

This song is my current hyperfixation ❤️ I have listened to it at least 5 times a day since it came out, I cannot express how happy it makes me. I love Tom Cardy and BDG’s content so not only for there to be a cOLLaB!!!! but a stunning one literally makes my heart sour. So much about this video and the song is so genius and so beautiful and I bow down. Thank you so much for blessing us with this content, you don’t know how much I needed this happiness boost rn ::)

Y'ALL. I have loved you both separately for so long, then you come and do this?! And as an art therapist I am dying for this theme LMAO. Come onnnnnn 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Man, this is a work of art. Not just the music, the way this is edited is super cool, with them starting out in the vertical tiktok format and progressing to being in the same room. The story is also very creative.

DOCTOR! 1:15 somehow i just love that part, and also the little quips between reading, "oh f yeah!" "what?" "good god!"

My gut is telling me this is the START of something great. Y’all are an amazing team!

The drop at 1:35 gave me HUGE chills and I don't know if I've ever gotten chills from something that confuses me at the same time but I LOVE it.

I never expected when I signed up to BDGs patreon how much joy it would bring me to feel like I helped him make the things he makes. This feeling is wild, y'all.

This is unironically the best video quality we've seen Tom Cardy in, ever.

The anthem of sharing a single braincell with a friend.
