Representative public comments
Big missed opportunity for Tommy. He could have added the thousands of games inside roblox to his world record.
Tommy's too humble to say this much in public, so people usually don't know it, but he invented the Sun. His mother is very proud. He sometimes has to pee at night.
By making this comment, I have contributed to this video. It was a joy working on this video with you. My mom is very proud.

Hbomberguy and I have been talking about making this video for years. I was the first American to work with Hbomberguy
I can't believe Tommy invented video games just so he can make music for them. His mother must be very proud.
