Ranking Every Use of "All Star" In A Movie 

"10 minutes of your time" He says as I prepare to watch 30 minutes on an incredibly obscure topic - which in all fairness I definitely will do and will very much enjoy

I'm starting to think that TomSka & Friends is now Toms channel to do the most elaborate shitposts imaginable, and I'm 100% here for it.

I'm re-watching this in honor of Steve Harwell. He wasn't the best singer, he was an All-Star

Now we need a ranking of every time “Holding Out For a Hero” was used in a movie

‘Shrek and Allstar go together like peanut butter and babies.’ Best combination ever

Inspector Gadget was totally body horror. I had nightmares about involuntarily becoming a cyborg for years and years after seeing it.

Rest in peace to our forever all-star Steve Harwell. This is how I choose to remember his legacy. The boatloads of money he made from movies using his music. What a way to make a living

The funny thing is, All-Star was added in Shrek as a temp song, but it just fit the mood, so it was added in the final cut. Also, I personally thought the high school band rendition of All-Star in Shrek the Third was a cute Easter egg.

I did not know that All-Star was a song made to combat bullying, but the song with that angle actually fits Shrek more considering he's an outcast in the fairytale world, and you could say this song plays in his head to give himself a pep talk to keep him going despite his loneliness. Also it's funny that it tied in with Mystery Men, A Universal movie, since that same company now owns Shrek.

Honestly, really digging these super-niche, kinda-troll, well-researched and hilarious kinda-documentaries?! Not sure how you're supposed to describe them but I want more!

Princess Fiona being a cannibal actually makes sense. Shrek eats eyeball-tinis and Fiona just adjusts to that no problem.

Funnily enough Rupert Everett was in Inspector Gadget and John Cleese was in Rat Race. Both of them were later in Shrek 2.

I wanted my Spotify wrapped for 2022 to show that I was Smash Mouths #1 listener, I had All Star on loop for every commute as many times as I could bear it, I had it playing on my phone at a low volume all weekend every weekend for over 6 months. But somehow, someone out there bested me. It seemed impossible that there was someone out there listening to All Star more than me and now I know that it was Tom.

Can't believe this man actually just got All Star erased from a movie's IMDB soundtrack, actually insane

20:10 - That's nothing, here in Brazil they actually credited Rowan Atkinson as "Mr. Bean" on the DVD cover of the Brazilian version of Rat Race.

I love how you, Eddache, and a few other you-tubers have cracked the secret of making viewers like me intentionally not skip sponsor parts of the video: Making them hilarious.

Did....... Did Tom make me watch a half hour video just so he could put that Ska version of All Star at the end? Well played.

Digimon: The Movie has some of the best dub lines I’ve ever seen in an official dub outside of Ghost Stories. My particular favorite is “Did you see that?!” “No, I was sleeping.” “BUT YOU’RE DRIVING!”

Got to give props to my main man Darcy at 19:08 who, in a graphic dedicated to memorializing the uses of Shrek in moves, admits to flat out not watching Go Tigers because they don't care about football. Could've saved us all some time if they had

It's weird that we're all just getting this in our recommended. Rest in peace Steve Harwell ❤

I liked the part where we learned any source that says "Go Tigers!" had the song All Star in it is unreliable.

I'm literally 10 seconds in and I'm already wondering what a massive pain in the arse getting this through the copyright system must've been

Rest in peace Steven Scott Harwell, you will be remembered for your influence on pop culture.

Who knew that 5 months later, Steve Harwell would be gone. Rip Steve Harwell, always will be an All Star ❤️

"and while I'm just a couple weeks away from not celebrating my 9th birthday" that's some deep cut TomSka lore humor right there.

I know the og Shrek opening scene was memed to hell and back, but it was unironically one of the most important moments in animation history. Single handedly redefined how children's movies, more specifically fairy tales, are seen

came here in memory of the lead singer steve, rip to him

RIP Steve Harwell 1967 - 2023 (56 years old)

Tom’s descent into madness over the IMDB mistake is hilarious

Honestly the most surprising thing to me is that All Star has ONLY been in 8 movies.

I never knew I needed a ska rendition of All Star until today, and now I won’t be able to live without it Thank you, Mr Ska

This hits different 5 months later. R.I.P Steve Harwell.

Might as well take this time I thought the line "Only shooting stars break the mold" was "You'll be shooting stars made of mold."

Possibly the most pre-9/11 thing about Rat Race is Breckin Meyer acknowledging his 11:30am flight at 10am in his hotel room. Why’s he not at the airport a day in advance?! 😂

22:22 Me: oh yeah haha, I forgot about that G-Plot. My brother with equal parts disgust, betrayal and sick fascination: You've SEEN this movie?

Inspector Gadget suffered from too many cuts according to the director, David Kellogg. Original 110 cut had a bunch of extras that would have made it darker/more adult/closer to the source material from the 80s cartoon series. Great video - your production value is top notch!

The best joke of the Digimon movie is when Tai is holding an egg in his hand whilst his mum is cooking, when Izzie shouts "TAI THE EGG IS HATCHING!" (The digi egg), and Tai just looks at his egg like "Huh?" And Izzie immediately quips back "NOT THAT EGG, THE DIGI EGG!" So many jokes that went over my head as a kid, but really appreciate now.

Gonna be honest, i can’t believe how amazingly Go Tigers used All Stars, best integration of the song, ever!

RIP Steve Harwell I hope he got to see this video, and if he hasn't, he now has all the time in his world to see it now.

RIP Steve Harwell

Since this video is on IMDB does that mean this video also needs to go in the tierlist?

If you like all star I recommend mouth sounds by Neil Cicierega. It's an absolutely insane Mashup album hinging on all star for most of the songs. Edit: I forgot to mention it's the first in a series of 4 Mashup album

RIP Tom Ska, lead singer of Smash Mouth. You will be missed 😔

When I think of All Star, I think of Mystery Men, the underrated movie that was featured in the music video. I love the Digimon franchise, but so many of the songs in the first English movie are just there because they were popular songs, not because they fit.

I love how tomska sometimes starts like a professional to entice people and then degrades to stupid comedy and I love it

Something unstated that really makes All-Star work that I remember my dad pointing out is that it doesn't just work in Shrek because of the lyrics and how fun it is, but also because musically it fits the sorta guy Shrek is. Smash Mouth's music is pretty blunt and blaring, the vocals are pretty guttural and raw... it sounds like the kind of music that an ogre in a swamp would be listening to. Even if most of these movies actually did try to include All-Star in the way we hoped, they'd still fall short of Shrek, because their focus characters wouldn't listen to that kinda music. Inspector Gadget isn't listening to grungy buttrock.

out of all the days for youtube to recommend this to me, it just happened to be today, huh rest in peace, Steve Harwell

What makes the digimon movie even more funny is that when all star starts playing, in the orignal version the digimon is literally going insane- But when they dubbed it they really thought "nahh he's grooving"

Tom, regarding the gesture in the beginning of the video: After bringing your fingers to your lips, normally you pull your hand away while opening it. Make a little kiss sound effect, and voila! I believe it originates from some region's chefs, who would commonly use it after testing a dish and being proud of it. Hence, why it is called a chef's kiss by many. (Feel free to correct me if someone knows the history of the chef's kiss)

I think the last time Angela Anaconda came up was in the Google Deep Dive Content, and it's still just as terrifying. Thanks for the nightmares Tom, really appreciate it 👍

Ever since Steve Harwell's death, this random ranking video by TomSka has unintentionally become the greatest tribute to his memory Truly he was an All Star✨️

Seeing this recommended literally hours after Steve Harwell died... R.I.P.

I'm just in shock that there's even a single human being on this planet that *disliked* Mystery Men.

I wonder what Tom thinks of Smash Mouth themselves showing up in an episode of What's New Scooby-Doo

14:35 I don’t think he trusts him anymore

Am writing this the same day Steve Harwell went to the other side. RIP Steve H. You truly were a star

So with the vore is in shrek line, I have lists on letterboxd keeping tracks of what types of deaths happen in movies (because that is a very normal thing to do) and I made a vore list as a joke...13 of the so far 40 movies are kids films the rest are giant monster movies

He seems like me when i make a project at school it's a stupid premise , i care about it alot and i am always surprised when i get an F.

Wait till Tomska find out The lead Singer of SmashMouth died today. Rip Steve Harwell 1967-2023, he was the ultimate Mouth Smasher...😔

RIP Steve Harwell, wouldn’t think I’d be putting that on this video so shortly after it was released. I hoped it wouldn’t be for another 15 years at least.

I didn't even realise that All-Star was in the Digimon Movie... And I went to watch it at the cinema when I was a kid. However, I recall there being an absolute BANGER of a scene using All My Best Friends Are Metal Heads by Less Than Jake.

26:07 Okay, I've watched this movie more times than I can remember, but I do NOT remember that scene of Lord Farquaad in the Dragon's stomach, even in the slightest.

(3:20) Literally the ONLY sponsor I think I’ve EVER watched all the way through!

RIP Steve, the singer of the song. May he rest in peace

Only TomSka can take a tenuous video about all star film rating and make it freaking hilarious! Always brightens my day seeing something pop up on this channel 👍👍

8:49 Mate, his clothes drop to the floor. He doesn't just turn invisible; he turns fully intangible. He just goes full on ghost mode.

RIP the GOAT

I actually mostly identify this song with the movie Rat Race (August 17, 2001)... I never noticed how close that released to 9/11. Probably because it didn't have anything like Spiderman catching a helicopter between the twin towers as like the focus of their marketing. However, I also noticed that it appeared in an abnormally large number of movies, by about the time Shrek rolled around I started calling it "the movie song." You see movies would always put in the current pop songs, as well as classics; but there was no consensus on _which_ classics, and the "current" song changed every month/year. But All Star stuck around, it seemed like it would never leave, which is fine, it's a great song; but I think Shrek ultimately proved to be its undoing. Once directors saw it used in Shrek 1, they knew they could never top that, and just flat out gave up.

Honestly these are some of my fave videos on this channel. Tom passionately describing/complaining/hyping up random, nonsensical, ultimately-pointless shit is just the best thing ever.

Best about the All Stars placement for Shrek is, that it wasn't intended to be. When animating the scenes they put it on as a placeholder to replace later. And everyone started to like it and they kept it.

Video now have different context. R.I.P.

R.I.P Steve Harwell, you were an All Star🕊⭐️

Dude, Digimon the movie introduced me to ska with their soundtrack. (Also, fun fact: Mamoru Hosoda actually directed the movies that made up the Digimon movie. He went on to make amazing films like Summer Wars (it's almost like a reboot of Digimon the movie lol), Wolf Children, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, The Boy and the Beast, and other fantastic films.)

Fantastic video, and I'm glad you gave the digimon movie soundtrack the recognition it deserves. I'd have put it higher in the list for the sheer WTF factor of where they used it in the movie though. Keep it up!

First we had Jimmy Buffet and the "lets go to every margaritaville" now its Tom and "Lets rank all Star" with Steve Harwell. what the FUDGE is happening!??

Rest in Peace Steve, hope you're rocking in heaven

18:16 - IT’S NOT IN THE CREDITS AT ALL!

1:21 "And while I'm just a couple weeks away from.. not celebrating my 9th birthday-" lmao that's an s tier joke right there

Rest in Piece All Star.

Yeah, the algorithm is gonna push this hard due to Steve Harwell's death.

Mystery men was a film I only saw part of as a kid and I reference to this day. The police said he accidentally fell down an elevator shaft and landed on 37 bullets. I know that's not the exact quote, but I still love it.

That was a perfect edit of the Digimon soundtrack good work Elliot!

Rest in peace steve

rest in peace Steve...

This is my absolute favorite genre of content, and you deliver it perfectly. I hope you never stop. You're like the Van Gogh of internet lore vlogumentaries

More people should see Mystery Men. I know you're dogging it but every time I've shown it to somebody. They've loved it! So yeah it's not a cinematic masterpiece but it is great 😅

Uncovering that Go Tigers! doesn't even use All Stars and that Flunked features a guy who committed fraud because you wanted a funny video about the shrek song has big Roblox oof Tommy Talarico energy

Normal videos: videos with sponsors akwardly attached. Tomska videos: sponsors with videos akwardly attached

We absolutely need a follow-up interview with Janeane Garofalo now so Tom can gush about how much he loves the Bowler. EDIT: Oh Tom. You're just now learning about the hellish cult that is high school football in the Midwest? Friday Night Lights is gonna look like a horror movie to you, dude.

11:58 it was the google deep dive video, you’re welcome

Rip steve hartwell. May this video serve as a memorial for his legacy. He was truly an all star

This video was the equivalent of doing a science experiment where the hypothesis was already a widely accepted fact but you tested it anyway for school credit and did your research well enough that you still passed.

0:27 "I don't know the second part of this gesture" he says as he does the second part of the gesture.

I literally watched this today, hours before the news of Steve Harwell's death became known to the world... Rest in peace, Steve Harwell...

May Steve Harwell rest in peace. 🫡🫡🫡

22:45 it's actually the exact opposite of flat - it's horrifically sharp!

"you're probably on the toilet" too right but you forgot the most important aspect. I'm also avoiding responsibilities.

Rest in peace Steve Harwell. You will always be an All Star

This video was so good that the guy that sang all star died.

If I ever make a movie and find a place for All Star, I demand a renewed tierlist
