I love the bassist in this video, and the implication that this argument was happening behind the scenes while the bassist had to witness it and therefore when the relationship drama was brought up, he immediately knew what was coming next. Him mouthing "fuck" was just perfect. I also love his attempt to lighten the mood by changing what he plays, and the big smile on his face that transforms into a frown when Bill tells him not to change the bass. But with all that said, Darren from "#inspirational" is still my favorite Tomverse character. His growing frustration, the way he grits his teeth as he says "I'm going to ask once more clearly: what is the job that earns you money?" and of course his laugh as he asks "Isn't that like a pyramid scheme?" The Tomverse has so many weird characters so it's funny that two of my favorite characters are the "normal" ones reacting to the insanity.

I think he is just living with Bill's ex-wife and kids and it happened recently. The way I imagine the story behind this video is that Bill's wife and kids very recently packed up and left him to live in a four bedroom home alone so they could be with Ben. And I think this is the first time Bill pushed back on Bill's side of the song. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if his ex-wife told Bill she was looking for someone more responsible, who doesn't go out drinking all the time and sleep in. So that's why he is so pissed about Ben mentioning it. I assume they had been fighting about this before the cameras started rolling and the bassist had to witness it, which is why when Bill brings it up during filming, the bassist knows what was unleashed.

So that's what happened with Ben's wife! She was killed by his ex-best man and Bill's wife ended up consoling him, then that started something between them and she left Bill. Or maybe Bill's real name is Dwink Bexon and Bill is just his stage name (or the show is an undercover operation), and he ended up killing his ex-wife who is now Ben's wife and he is also a cop. But he's not a cop.

Did not expect that a song could hold this much tension. Also, the delayed censor at 1:14 is perfect🤣

It's the guy after he says cunt being censored
even the bassist knew what was up with the "I am single"
need the full song with the bass changing when Bill finally launches himself at Ben and there's all the fighting sounds in the background. fantastic song!

This is outstanding, the sound effects, the slightly off censor beep, the bass guy trying to lighten the mood, perfection!
The flowerpot men really went places once their show ended.

There's more structure, setup, backstory and tension in this minute and a half song than in a lot of movies I've watched recently. Bravo.

But is it a better love story than Twilight?
I really hope this gets an extended Spotify version too, I'd love to explore this deep, complex, thoroughly fucked up relationship

I agree wholeheartedly.
Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men ain't what I remember from my childhood
"I'LL TEAR YOUR FACE OFF" chills
Passive aggressive “children’s” songs about divorce gotta be one of my favourite genres of music

I love this kind of humor
As a Ben that is friends with a Bill, I can't wait to share this with him. Finally a song that captures our essence better than the 'Bill and Ben, the flower pot men' theme song.
This guy is so good, you forget that every character is him
"I'll tear your face off" might be one of my new favorite lyrics.
Until the end I though they were recently-divorced husbands. Great twist!
The "No, don't change the bass. Don't change the bass" part killed me
You know, Bill should consider himself lucky to have even one close friend, even if Ben has a much larger and more supportive social circle.
The misplaced beep broke me :D
It’s very mature of Bill to become best friends with his Ex-Wife’s new lover.
The video started at 2x speed when I clicked it and when I tell you I thought this was some joke about kids media being absurdly fast-paced, I just kinda accepted it.
Splendid, already listened it 9 times
The bassist is the best character in the Tomverse, i swear

I love the bassist in this video, and the implication that this argument was happening behind the scenes while the bassist had to witness it and therefore when the relationship drama was brought up, he immediately knew what was coming next. Him mouthing "fuck" was just perfect. I also love his attempt to lighten the mood by changing what he plays, and the big smile on his face that transforms into a frown when Bill tells him not to change the bass. But with all that said, Darren from "#inspirational" is still my favorite Tomverse character. His growing frustration, the way he grits his teeth as he says "I'm going to ask once more clearly: what is the job that earns you money?" and of course his laugh as he asks "Isn't that like a pyramid scheme?" The Tomverse has so many weird characters so it's funny that two of my favorite characters are the "normal" ones reacting to the insanity.
I don't know how many times I've watched this already, but the delayed beep, the look on the sound guys face and his blink, just crack me up so much I'm actually crying with laughter.
WAKE UP EVERYONE TOM CARDY JUST POSTED!!! I love this bit so much!
i'm just gonna say that from the thumbnail, the title, and the comments about tension, i immediately thought of another type of tension, but this is good too!
In Bill's defense, Ben could have just said he was married 😂

I think he is just living with Bill's ex-wife and kids and it happened recently. The way I imagine the story behind this video is that Bill's wife and kids very recently packed up and left him to live in a four bedroom home alone so they could be with Ben. And I think this is the first time Bill pushed back on Bill's side of the song. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if his ex-wife told Bill she was looking for someone more responsible, who doesn't go out drinking all the time and sleep in. So that's why he is so pissed about Ben mentioning it. I assume they had been fighting about this before the cameras started rolling and the bassist had to witness it, which is why when Bill brings it up during filming, the bassist knows what was unleashed.
the facial expressions, the delayed beep and bass awkwardly playing is just amazing hahaha
The rewatch value here is very very high. Bassist just raises the whole thing. Magic.
Wow. The flowerpot men aren't quite how I remember them. Flobadob.
Tom Cardy with his various chaotic singing skits. Fricking FUN. xD
2 and a bit hours ago, I was just about to come off and get a fairly early night. Then I REwatched this, which subsequently took me down the Tom Cardy rabbit hole of music videos. It is now almost 3am, and I can honestly say with the utmost confidence... ...this guy isn't a cop.
I have the distinct feeling Ben might be a cop.

So that's what happened with Ben's wife! She was killed by his ex-best man and Bill's wife ended up consoling him, then that started something between them and she left Bill. Or maybe Bill's real name is Dwink Bexon and Bill is just his stage name (or the show is an undercover operation), and he ended up killing his ex-wife who is now Ben's wife and he is also a cop. But he's not a cop.
Bil and Ben should definitely invest in some flower pots. It might fix their friendship
This is a textbook definition of catharsis. Bravo Tom
I've watch this over and over again. It cheers me up from the harsh realities of the world.
This has real "siblings siblings" energy lol
Remember the Flowerpot Men? This is them now.
I was expecting the flowerpot men, but this is just as good
This was so smart, a toe-tapper and a stomach-dropper. Another brilliant one, thanks Tom.
In the usual way, I'm gonna have to watch this five or six times to fully appreciate it
"is that a good set up for you?" 🤣
i love that the guitarist looked over like he’s so done with this job but he needs the money

I think Bill and Ben had a big fight behind the scenes and the bassist had to watch it all happen so when it came up in the song, he just was not having it anymore.
The Canadian experience of growing up with Aussie children's TV and now watching Tom Cardy and going, "Ah, yes. The cultural threads that bind us: passive aggressive sarcasm and casual alcoholism."
there's a fine line between audience expectation and giving up the goat too early but holy hell this nails it
The bass player is just vibing
You have a gift, man. The way you perfectly set up that they're friends before a single "don't..." tells us that ohhh, there's some serious tension here. Genius.
WOOOO new Cardy tune
The honking noise as he turns his head is so underappreciated.
No don't change the bass! The bassist's reactions are pure gold.
This. Is. The most awkward bit of Tom. And it's bloody brilliant.
The delay and blink of the censor was perfect 😂
Rewatching this and just have to comment on how gold this is. So, so good! 😂
Dude! All the small details are so expertly executed. Love this one!
The absolute chaotic energy of this video legit made me go 😂.
This could be a great sitcom opening
What is the name of reference to the flowerpot men or the Thomas & Friends characters?

Coughs and sneezles spread diseasels!
Everybody’s already mentioned the twist, but WOW the tension right after Ben says he’s single is fantastic. Top notch as always!
The realization of how many backstage fights the Wiggles must've had is sending me into orbit.
i want a bill and ben in my life
I love Tom Cardy’s skits and music with a PASSION! Pluto and Louis Theorex be jamming with me to his content every time it come out 😂
Thank you Tom from the bottom of my heart for every single one of your songs. You really can make a shitty day alright.
Never knew the flower pot men had such a falling out. So sad to see.
obsessed with this bassline
"you-re wa-TCHING TREE-house!" how could you bring this memory back to me, tom
This is amazing, I love every second. Amazing work, Tom!
I want to see this extended into a full length song that ends with them revealing they were always in love with each other.
This man is honestly a fucking genius
That base change was hilarious LOL
*What a twist! No wonder there was so much tension!* 😭😭😭
He violated the Brodex: Bro Code I: Thou are forbidden to lay with another Bro’s brah whether they be ex or current.
ah i was just pondering your music mr cardy, very awesome sauce.
What I think I love most about Tom Cardy is his topics. They're clearly something he thought of that would be funny, then he made it. No chasing sponsorships, no building a brand. Just. Fck it, this'll be funny. Never change mate
bill and ben
The chemistry between Bill and Ben is beautiful
of all the characters in the 86 second clip, the bassist is my favourite, this somehow managed to to capture so many emotions of the human experience.
That ending is definitely one of the best plot twists of 2024.
Delayed bleep had me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bassist might be the best character in this whole video
Full version when, i need more of this masterpiece 🤌
When I first heard this song I thought the set up was going to be that they are exs and wasn't expecting the wife stealing :""
