Unoriginal Everyone

Never be ashamed of inspiration. Here's my deterministic approach to creativity!

Link to all the clips in this video!

If anyone included in that list has a problem with me monetising this video, please let me know!

Is it bad I can't listen to Tom without imagining his Eddsworld version?

Tom with that Tomee bear at 0:25 to 0:31 is just so awesome.

one of the spaceships says "gotta go fast"

Fun fact: At Shakespeare's times, it was considered more skilful to take something and remake it into something better than to think of something totally new.
So yeah, Shakespeare was a copyist, too. :o)

But if the ideas come from old ideas...
Where do they come from in the first place?

The eyes of the teddy bear looks like toms original look of his animated character

[LukeAaronMarsden]

Ideas are like the tide. It can be the same concept every time, but the execution may differ.
This was a horrible quote.
Someone find me a better one.
It exists.

The ironic thing is this is a remix of the remix video

[theresaloop]

Thank you SO MUCH for that everything is a remix site. It's is so motivating and I think it should get as much attention as possible!

[ZacksEnder]

I'm glad you made this video, because I used to struggle with this very thought. I've since moved beyond it, but its still reassuring to hear prolific voices rationalize the effort. Thank you for being awesome!

[MacScotteh]

This video has restored my hope in writing & Directing :')
Thanks Tom!

[linneradam]

THANK YOU TOM!
As being a student of photography or just being creative at all I've went down this train of thougts too! Trying to come up with something original is hard as fuck! I'm happy that I'm not alone with this problem :)
Keep up the awesome work brah! I love all your videos :)

[kentdiamante]

i think it's how you combine or change all the inspirations together to get something 'original' i really like this video. Thank you Tom

[Wixhael]

Well Tom, we're still waiting on Bear Space Race.

[SpellboundSama]

I LOVE THIS. All ideas are infinitely similar and different at the same time all the time and this will always be amazing forever and ever.

[BrotherCaptRob]

Tom, in one of your older videos you said that you were broken and could not come up with new ideas. Now you keep releasing these informational videos about how you make your videos, where you get your ideas from or what is going on in your personal life. I love these new videos and I hope you keep releasing them even when you get more ideas for your normal funny videos. I've loved watching your videos for years and shall continue to do so. Stay awesome Tom!

[yaoifun]

I really enjoyed this video (of course) but i had to watch it a total of three times before i was able to follow it in its entirety simply because your hair is growing back and that is positively fabulous.

[Wizepie]

Don't worry Tom, let me remind you off the Wheezywaiters legendary quote: "Nothing is original, except Pringles Original".

[animehappyface]

You always say things that makes us feel good about ourselves.

That is probably the awesomest thing any YouTuber can do.

Thanks :)

I was afraid i'd get some crap if I made an animation slightly close to eddsworld! XD I was so unoriginal at that point I was thinking of calling it AshWorld... Yay!
