And that's it for the videos in 2020! As usual, there are some brilliant guest videos coming up in January: please give them a warm welcome!

Your audience probably just chose cats more often from their “viral-ness” online

I think the reason for the results of the "how weird are you" question is that YOU, Tom are a solid 5 on that scale. We watch your videos, we sympathise with the ways you think and behave so we must be ona similar wavelength here

A banger of a video

my guess for why tom's audience rates it's wierdness at five is because we are ussually well aquanited with the internet, where we find weird interests, but we see more weird interests that we don't have,

peap pik

I have no inner monolog, and can't see things in my head.

1:34

It looks like Bob Mortimer’s owl Mavis lmao

WAIT WTH THE NAME I THOUGHT FOR THE OWL WAS HENRY WTH WTH

8:46 That's cuz of normal on longer has a true definition like 50+ years ago

Out of W.E.I.R.D I am an E.I.D Edit: I'm not Western or rich ( - _ - )

I have an idea about why so many people chose Henry. There's that video where someone asks her grandma to name pokemon, and I think that the grandma named one of the pokemon Henry. Maybe everyone who knows that video unconsciously linked that with the owl? I have no idea why that would be the case Edit: I was thinking of said grandma naming a charmander "Hamilton." I'm out of ideas.

. Hi. Hi.

*kokakikukekuk, esimitasolink, osakilenmis.*

I thought henry instantly then maybe harry then oswald...

If that owl ain't a Frank...

5:32 it looks like a Henry I know I’m late

Oh my gosh I thought I was original 😐

5:32 it looks like a Henry I know I’m late

Thumbnail Me: uhhhhhhhhh

6:27 My elementary school had an eagle as its mascot, and they put the name up for a vote and Jimmy Talon won.

i was excited when i saw jeremy on the list of owl names becuase thats what i named it too

The ones that answered yes to the mist challenge question: 🤡

Jimmy Talon got me 😂

All the Nerodivergent people probably flocked here

I will die on my hill over and over again - IT'S TWO SPACES YOU CRETINS. I had no idea how disgusted I would feel that 2 spaces is falling out of style. Oh my god, why is this affecting me this badly? What is the matter with all of you?

i didnt think anything about the owl because i wasnt paying attention but im going to name it tessa because i feel like it

I named the owl Geoffrey :)

I'll admit to only learning this about myself now, here, today. I was a 2-spacer. The internet eventually got me to not bother. It wins.

I think we're all just weid Actually

Haven't taking this and I am a 5

8:29 The audience hiveminded and made a middle finger.

I’m so shook that I thought of Henry when I saw the owl and then it turns out most viewers also thought of Henry... so random lmao

If the answer to the question 'how weird is my audience?' is slightly more weird then you think you are and i'm part of your audience and the thing that I thought was also slightly more weird then I think I am, then what does that mean?

I heard intellectuals are more likely to be cat people, so if you are doing scientific or educational videos that could be why cays were preferred.

As soon as the picture of the owl came up i said henry and apparently I'm not the only one

That is OBVIOUSLY Owl McOwlface

Why would you ever use TWO spaces after a period? Books, articles, everything uses one space. What is the purpose of two spaces? It's not aesthetically pleasing. That's for sure.

8:19 THE MEMES WERE RIGHT

That’s crazy that Harold was #2

The internet gave tom the finger on the weirdness scale

5:50 I'm sure it's because oh harry potter

I swear to God I never knew that the discussion of having one or two spaces after a full stop is a thing.

I put. Two spaces. After period.

People who uses two spaces after a period are the same people who call the fire department to light their cigarette

This was really interesting. Yee yee

I named the owl John

Dude that's super weird. I thought of the owl as Harold

I saw the owl. I said "Harold" INSTANTLY. WHAT!?!??!! W H A T ??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

in portuguese 1 space after the period is the gramatically correct version as far as I know, so it isnt a matter of preference

a tad quirky

This is the most passive aggressive way anyone has ever to ld me I'm a computer nerd.

two spaces! that's what I learned when I learned to type on an old manual typewriter, as a child.

Before the results of the "how weird are you" were showed, I had choosen 5 in my head😶

Wow. I've never heard of putting two spaces after a period before. Never even reflected on it being a thing, whenever I've seen it I've just probably thought the person writing it made a mistake.

Those are some great owl names.

What makes you S.P.E.C.I.A.L

I'm surprised there was not an "Owly Mc Owlface" option!

8:57 the right graph is flipping me off

My pet theory as to how weird your audience self-identified as: we behave as a hive mind, and wanted to give online polls the middle finger.

I have never even heard of putting two spaces after a period. Is that specific to typing? Because I've never seen that in a book before.

how weird am i? 5/7 is the obvious answer

7:53 Anyone rating themselves as very weird are lying or trying to be interesting. Anyone rating themselves as normal? THAT is weird.

Sad I couldnt participate :(

I never heard of two spaces ever.

Maybe some people though the mist challenge was the mist movie?

The motion/info-graphics are really great. Very good work, William Marler.

partially surprised there's no hoodie.mp4 on the desktop

The owl's name is Garrett, guys. Sorry, but it is what it is.

james van der beak

your editor is hilarious😂😂

people use 2 spaces???? like anywhere on the planet????

The owl is called Erold and I will fight you on that

When scott lost his composure you could slowly so him smiling more and more

Regarding the cats vs. dogs difference, I think it's not your audience thing, but the "general public" thing. The audience was american and it's a cultural thing for americans to be dog people. One of the reasons is dog food companies, they constantly run ads which link puppy/dog images with images of happiness. They don't "sell" you dog food, they "sell" you an idea that owning a dog means you feel better. It's much more profitable because if you get a dog, you become a dog food buyer for the next 5-10-15 years.

Two spaces is stupid

Can someone explain henry the owl?

Cats are Dogs for introverts

Ayyy 1 space gang

5:04 I didnt even know that there were people who would even think to use 2 spaces. I dont understand why you would either

i said henry •–•

Let's create a mist challange.

i would have picked 5 on the scale too :| i guess it's true

Why would anyone use two spaces?

Animator at the end having a bit of fun

It feels weird having always been two-space despite being terminally online for at this point literally more than half my life. It's definitely reflex, but I also think it looks magnitudes better in longer-form text, which is where my typing leans anyway. Just one of those things, I guess. 25-34 group, too.

this is a bit outdatEd bEcausE EveryonE is making an 📧 with youtubE polls

The owl is clearly called Horace.

this owl is clearly an edric

8:26 You plotted a middle finger thanks

Wait people can make themselves smell things the same way we can imagine a picture in our heads? I smell something and am bombard with any memories or experiences connected to that smell, but the other way around doesn't produce the smell. I can't force myself to smell a fart that isn't there.

I've heard somewhere that smart people like cats more soooo I'm gonna leave that here 😉

I would have put very normal. I think I'm interesting enough, I have plenty of random knowledge and I'm fairly personable, but I don't consider anything about me 'weird'

When I saw that owl I immediately thought that's Henry. Wierd. The algorithm has us, the audience, down to a T.

What stuck me actually weird is the fact that you didn’t list Hedwig as definietly female name. My guess would be that’s the result of lack of articles in English, animals are by default addressed in neuter (it). I don’t think any Polish or German HP viewer would ever consider Hedwing to be anything else but female, despite her sex was never addressed in the books

We all know that the best thing on the World is the Walter-Dog aka Nelson

I can’t accept these findings as legitimate. Owl McOwlface wasn’t in the top 3 of owl names from Twitter results.

Wow. Does yt do that?

that owl totally does look like a henry

1:42 I suspect it is an introvert thing. Or possibly an indoorsy person thing. (They tend to go hand in hand, from what I've heard.)

I think Athena was because there's a literal genus of small owls called Athene, not _directly_ because of the general association of Athene with owls. IOW, the respondents wouldn't have said Athena to a picture of a big owl.

i love the very specific names for the owl

I got to the answer for question 1 and I’m already going to peace out. I don’t want to be associated with *those* people.

I so glad Scruffy was in the top 20 for the owl because that was my immediate reaction to seeing it’s scruffy little face

So when they teach typing in school do they say one or two spaces
