Last Month I Got Old 

"Big man" is a compliment. "Big Boy" Is the kinkiest insult

That parakeet monologue was like something out of a French new wave film. Genuinely stunned at how beautiful and sad it was.

Tom, you say you have trouble writing sketches and such, but I have to say, the ramble about parakeets in London was just such an extremely good, poignant little metaphor.

It’s incredible how just having Tom record his daily life can give comfort to many people. Thank you Tom

Dude, the part about deleting twitter and just instinctively tapping the empty spot on your phone resonates with me. I recently removed my reddit app after it stopped working last month and I found myself doing the exact same thing several times over the next few days. Social media addiction is real and significantly more prevalent than people are willing to acknowledge.

Thanks for coming to the show! Full disclosure, we’re all professional actors - not amateur 😅 but either way, was great to have you in! We’re all huge fans!

Tomska is truly the big man of all time

The part about parakeets in London is not only very relatable but also kind of poetic. At least it does have the cadence of a poem. I like it.

love the new glasses big boy

"There are parakeets in London, and sometimes I don't feel like I belong here." Beautifully said, Tom. I've very much felt the same way much of my 21 years of existence.

Regarding the parakeets: there's multiple stories of how they came to be. I remember two: 1. A breeding pair were pets and escaped, bred and have adapted to loving england. 2. Some were let go/escaped from filming at Shepperton Studios many years ago and they've been thriving since.

Thank you tom, Elliot, and Eddie for another amazing and absolutely wonderful last month. You all mean so much to all of us. Thank you all for always being such wonderful, inspiring, and kind people. I hope you guys and all your family’s are doing well? ❤️🍻

“I feel like a parakeet in london” good quote, big man.

i never comment on videos, however in this rare case i will break the streak. Thank you so much TomSka for being upfront about your depression and just surviving day in and day out and the idea that you are struggling with no sense of purpose in life. i have been in a very similar position these past few months and just having someone i admire humanise these thoughts is very helpful. I hope that you get your Up soon, and just know there are many many people supporting you and loving whatever content you produce.

the parakeet dialogue was legitimate poetry, whether intentional or not, the metre flowed nicely, the repeated iconography was dope, the delivery couldn't have been more fitting. good job, there's creativity evrywhere

I HAVE TO WATCH THIS AGAIN?!?!? okay

Hey Tom, as someone with Tourettes which developed right around the time I was being bullied the worst, just wanted to say you're absolutely not alone. I know it was a long time ago but those things can and often do hurt for decades to come. It sucks when things trigger it off but I hope feeling less alone brings you comfort 💕

Gender euphoria is such a great feeling not just for us trans folk :3

Last month is one of those video series that never fail to genuinely brighten up my day. Seeing Tom just live life makes me feel hope for mine Y’know!

I really like the fact that the candles' on the cake say "BIRTH"!

Honestly Tom, I'm very proud of you for deleting both Twitter and TikTok, with how much of a habit being on those platforms can be, it's not easy to just get rid of them, so good on you for doing that! Also you are definitely a silver fox, you'll have nothing to worry about once your hair is eventually gray, you'll be looking as good as always, and you always look fantastic. Anyway, loved this episode of Last Month, comforting as always, thank you Tom for being who you are, you're an amazing person :)

That parakeets in London bit is sheer poetry, and yeah, that's exactly how I feel.

I feel like a parakeet. I started sobbing when it hit me. Thank you Tom for another Last Month and brilliant sketches.

I loved the analogy of the parakeet section - beautifully put. But now to be that annoying guy, parakeets are fine in london! They originated from the "foothills of the Himalayas", so are naturally capable of surviving in colder climates. Much like the parakeets, you too shall survive these cold days

20:59 the giant creature has caught up to you (you are going to die)

Personally I love the tiktoks you've been doing. It's been fun getting doses the TomSka™ humor randomly. I feel like the shorter format and wild algorithm lets you be a bit more free than on youtube where if a highly produced sketch goes bad, it's horrible. But if a short tiktok does poorly you can just go back to the pile of props and ideas and make another Edit: Got a bit further but fuck me the Parakeet in London monologue was amazing.

As a fellow 33 year old, i cant tell you enough how I relate to your content...the first few "last months" it was funny, now it's comforting therapy and I love every second - thank you mate for everything you and the team do

Tom just appearing wearing a towel toga style like he's friggin Caesar like "so i had an eventful breakfast" is great

2:30 i love this so much it reminds me when i got my covid vaccination and the doctor called me a "strong boy" im a transman that was the best i feel tom so baddly

15:46 onwards is genuinely one of the most comforting things I've heard in a long time

fucking hell tomska, you're a legend. you do everything for us and we cant thank you enough. ebbs and flows mate, ebbs and flows.

The london bird monologue was actually amazing

Chris Barrie (Rimmer) is actually a pretty cool dude. I met him once and I spent more time talking to him about cars than actual Red Dwarf. He said it was quite nice to for someone to break the mould.

I was in primary school when I started watching Tom, I’m now in a full time job as an engineer

I think that Tom is exactly one degree hotter with the new glasses than with the old.

As someone who also has really bad ups and downs, the way that you talk about it, and just the knowledge of knowing that it is something that does not just affect me is comforting. Thank you tom.

I really appreciate you talking about your depression. As someone who recently experienced a **massive** depressive episode, hearing someone say the same things I’ve been thinking - particularly the thing about having no purpose in life - made me feel seen, and less alone. Thank you for that, funny man on the internet.

Should've responded to the "big boy" quip with "Try and keep up, mate"

Tom saying: "If you don't need social media to engage to a community, just run". Made me realise that i don't need a lot of social media and deleted a bunch of apps I only use to fell anxius or to lose time. Thanks Tom.

Tom, your metaphor about feeling like a parakeet in London perfectly describes how I've been feeling for a while and it's both reassuring and saddening to hear I'm not alone. Take care

Didn't realise until they came back how much I missed watching these last months, they're an absolute highlight and they're better than ever, so glad this series made a return because I'm enjoying them so much

Things to call Tom if I see him in public: -Big Man -Boss Man Things not to call Tom if I see him in public: -Big Boy

"I've been feeling like a parakeet in London" is one of the greatest phrases I've ever heard

exactly when this posted I yelled at my girlfriend "TOMSKA JUST UPLOADED ANOTHER VIDEO"

Thank you so much Tom for talking not just about your battle with depression but especially the head tics. It's something that I suffered with as a teenager, eventually after changing schools they went away, and I thought no more of it. Fast forward to this year, and after a fairly strong bout of depression and stress they're back big time. Everyone I know, including myself, has always been really confused about why I do it, and nobody seems to understand that it's a completely involuntary thing - I certainly don't do it by choice! Having someone of your reach and popularity speak up about it I'm sure will really help people's understanding of the condition, and I cannot thank you enough for that!

tom’s gray hair looks so cool! man’s really aging like fine wine

Dude. I wonder if he'll get older next month?

The parakeet bit was like, four degrees left of a poem. A good one.

Dude that parakeet monologue, I feel that at such a deep lvl. I am currently in one of those down times and it really sucks but videos like this really help me and I'm sure others not feel so alone in those times. Hopefully, our comments can help return that feeling . Also that is so cool u met Rimmer from Red dwarf that was a great show, and now I feel old too lol

If it's any consolation I've embarrassed myself in front of Chris Barry as well, it's weirdly easy to do because he's so charming lol.

When he said *Scrimbly TIMBLO* my heart dropped

Tom really got to meet Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf and decided to reveal who he was at the end of the story.

I want to say, this is easily my favorite series on RU-vid. And I don't say that lightly - I seriously appreciate this. I think one of the best parts is that it is doing what you wanted to do, even if it feels like it isn't. I don't want to see someone who's "fixed" or whatever. It's healing to see you. Not necessarily fixed, but better. A better person, a hopeful person, a kind and loving person who still struggles, and struggles hard, but brings hope wherever he goes. You're incredible, and don't you forget that. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

About the barny video, even tho you might not be happy with a script that isn't perfect you are incredibly funny naturally. Don't overthink everything, cut yourself some slack, cause you are very entertaining as a creator and really gifted in comedy. I know you want to put out the best content you can, but dont grind yourself to a bone when you don't need to Tom❤️

That Parakeet talk was some genuinely profound shit my man. I felt that in my soul.

"just surviving the day until i go to bed." I feel you tom brother... I feel you.

Why have I never considered the hotdog thing, toppings under the dog... I feel immensely stupid but enlightened.

Never fail to amaze, Tom!

I always love seeing squidge and pink but seeing pink be ill hit me so hard. We lost our little boi less than two weeks ago when he got sick and it progressed quicker than we expected. Please hug your pups and never regret a high vet bill, I regret complaining about our bill because now I would pay anything if it meant saving him. Much love to you and your pets Tom ❤

Feel your pain tom I once went to the shop in a piglet top and the shops keeper looked at me up and down and went "haha piglet I get it" 😂I haven't worn that shirt since

I've been in a pretty serious depression lately, one of the worst in my life. I just wanted to say that you bring me hope. Even when you're hurting and feeling stagnant and out of place, you bring me hope. Thank you.

god ive been watching this guy for a fuckin long time . the journey has been real, and genuinely inspiring, even in the dips! its been great to watch

"Big Boy" always reminds me of the great US family restaurant. Went there all the time as a kid. Big Boy was also their mascot and he had figures & comics and other media that you could pick up at the restaurant. Great childhood memories.

I mean, to be fair, you could Totally rock the checkered overalls and T-shirt look. You've even got the slicked back hair thing going. Kip's Big Boy, iconic hamburger character. Big Boy means Happy. Big Boy means Hamberders. Big Boy means a damn good dining and soda shop experience, my dude.

The only thing that stops days blending together is Toms phenomenal content

I love this series! Mainly because of your open talks about mental health and just your take on it in general. I have depression as well and can relate to a lot of whgat you're talking about. But it's also just nice to see you and your friends having a good time ~

The parakeets in London thing is honestly a really big chronic illness feel. Makes me emotional. Me and them parakeets, man. Surviving, not thriving

HOLY SHIT Tom I have the same thing with the ticing, it’s in response to “bad thoughts” or memories for me. I’ve never heard anyone talk about it in the same way so thank you for that, I always thought it was an exclusively OCD related thing ❤️

Thank you so much for the Parakeet in London metaphor, that's really helped me contextualise what I've been feeling ❤

"I feel like a parakeet in London" Should become a commonly used idiom.

It's only a matter of time until Eddie & Elliot are forced to call Tom Boss Man

highlight of my month these videos. honestly keeping me going whilst my long distance fiancé and I plan our wedding. Also your new glasses are great! Wonderful to see you explore with your look and not just try to blend in or be invisible 😊

I cannot express how much I appreciate and love everything you make Tom, whether it's on Tomska, Tomska & Friends, what have you, you continue to brighten my days and inspire me in everything you make, and even if you may think you aren't doing much, or whatever you're doing isn't worth it, just know that you have inspired me in every possible way, and I will carry your influence for my entire life, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

The parakeet comparison is good for both describing what living in late stage capitalism tight before the bottom falls out feels like, and weirdly also adult feelings of undiagnosed neurodivergence

I generally don't like using the phrase "it get's better" with depression and trauma and whathaveyou because in my experience it doesn't really actually *get better,* what gets better is your ability to manage and control it. on the outside it might look like you've 'recovered' or whatever way you wish to put it but inside there's still that struggle, you've just got it under close watch and have developed tools to mitigate any harm if it does break out. with that said; I hope all's well for you, Tom! (imagine here an image of Baymax giving you a big hug)

man i love ur rambles just about anything, especially bout struggles, it therapeutic for me in a silly way. i love ur last months, they rlly make my day better. honestly ur talks remind me of the narcissist cookbook, u are great man

It’s always good when a new last month comes out

Gender Euphoria is a universal experience, you deserve to feel good Big Man.

As a fellow fat dude, I am still waiting for my ‘big guy’ moment. Just hangin in there. Also how the hell are you so relatable every damn time

Tom's Parakeet in London talk is quite possibly one of the most poetic things ive ever heard

Never failed to make me laugh, thank you, hope you’re having a good one Tom.

i now feel compel to refer to tom only as "big-boy" edit the thing in 22:53 really resonates with me, in the old internet when brands and corporations didn't see the internet it was full of weirdos, nerds, and perverts, it was a magical place.

We should just greet people like “hey cool dude” or “was up fancy man”. It’s just nice to be nice

Some more of the best, wholesome stuff out there. It's Tom's pure honesty that I love. He's not here to gloat or have an ego. Just to be... Tom. And its so refreshing and comforting seeing that. Thank you Big Man.

I’ve honestly been struggling a lot myself lately. We’re not the same age, but I can relate to Tom’s troubles. So, thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you for articulating that shitty depression headspace of apathy and frustration and just waking up just to go back to sleep. I've been in that same spot as me and even though I know it's common and people in my life have been there too, it's isolating as hell when you struggle to say those things to another person. Hearing someone else say they're feeling the same way makes me feel a little bit of human connection, no matter how parasocial. Cheers, Tom

I really like how Anthem is Tom's premier display album out of his whole collection. Banger album.

This made me think of things. I feel I unraveled some things that resonate deep down in my past experiences while watching this. I imagine one may come out of your videos a bit distraught, I feel I maybe should have (maybe I am a bit, in my mind but not in my emotions), but instead I feel sort of clear minded from this. Like a veil of naivity is discipating even further, without being more pessimistic necessarily. I think it's because I've already had my big deception from the world and know what few things I can hold onto to carry-on. Then again, I am only 27. This is just meant as feedback.

Thank you guys for another MONTH of laughs and surprises

Hey i know you won't see this but this is the first time coming back after about 8 years last time i watched you i was a child i came back and still love you man i hope you have a great day and great life because your a great human and i hope you get through your crisis

Be careful about the highs too, it's part of the toxic mechanism, keeping things nice but not setting yourself up too far is important too

Holy shit he went to the beach that makes him old

YOOOOO TOM IS ALIVE! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

the whole big man/big boy thing hilarious, cause both me and a friend of mine have come to the conclusion that calling someone "Big Man" or "Boss Man" is like the funniest way of insulting someone

its My birthday 🎉 thank you for posting!

Quality video, big boy

i really appreciate these videos, tom. been going through a bit of a depressive spiral myself, and that monologue about parakeets in london was beautiful and felt exactly like how i feel now.

I’ve been dealing with similar issues of mental health and making things, so I’m glad you’re willing to share that aspect of your life and being open with us. While it’s still a struggle, I hope you know that you’re appreciated and supported, and seeing you handle it and keep at it is helpful. Take care of yourself and keep being the best TomSka you can be.

YES! NEW LAST MONTH!

Love you vids mate keep it up
