The groans from the pun means IT WAS SUCCESSFUL

4:07 Tom Scott has finally had enough of the question-writers' tricks. 😂

[Ciara_Turner]

To be frank, I've never thought of what happens to folks like the focus of the answer. It makes sense that they'd be buried but in my head they simply stop existing after their 15 minutes of fame

[j.alex]

That's such a perfect pun at the end there. Well done! :))

[iainwasson]

I'm loving the true-to-character mike drop pun from Evan at the end.

When I heard the question my mind immediately went to a certain poet, but nevermore

7:42 - It doesn't just make cents. It makes a _lot_ of cents.

[emdivine]

7:40 you groan but you invited Evan onto the show :D

[EinDose]

I know it's wrong, but I love the image TOm conjured up of 'Bob Ross taught me to paint so I'll leave my painting at his grave so he knows how good I am'. That's beautiful, right there.

When you said Baltimore, my mind went to Edgar Allen Poe, but his grave is marked (and has its own traditions).

[trainzelda]

This episode was fun to watch as a resident of the Baltimore area- I thought this was more common knowledge but I guess one would think that about local knowledge lol

[every_eve]

I go past the tomb of the unknown soldier every day I go into university classes on the Metro, and I almost jumped when Tom and Evan thought that could be the answer!

[tiadeets]

My first thought was the Ianto memorial in Cardiff and then Tom mentioned it and I shouted "Oh come on!" One shared braincell there. 😂

[SmickEDibbly]

My immediate guess was the grave was a murderer or otherwise evil person, and the portraits were of their victim(s).

[andrew]

Two Tom Scott videos in one day? What a mitzvah

[smithandshortdogs]

I pretty immediately went to the US military tradition of coins on gavestones.

[robertk]

Two Tom Scott projects posted at the same time. Headed over to Technical Difficulties now.

[rupert]

Of course they put the stamps in the top right. Has to be a collective effort to mail the stone.

[saiphrivas]

Oooh, you mean Ianto Jones' shrine! Honestly yeah, it's a great show and a great character, imma have to visit it

[CapraObscura]

I've missed Tom. Glad i found him here
