Christmas Update
Hello, Smellies.
Happy Christmas (we said 'Happy,' not 'Merry,' in my household, and it's the only tradition I respect) to everyone who celebrates it.
Since I forgot to post about it here, as you probably saw, the Oof video went up for everyone else. It has, uh, exploded, in a way I wasn't fully prepared for. As a result, a lot of people have reached out with more stories and interesting notes. Somewhat shockingly, upon a close fact-checking by knowledgeable parties, my main mistake appears to have been giving Tommy too much credit. I don't normally do follow-up videos but one feels inevitable for this. I'm going to put it off for a little bit, just to make sure Tommy has time to respond if he wants to (or if he can, lol).
I have a little bonus video planned which I wanted to get out before I started travelling to see family for Christmas, but as I write this post I am no longer at home, so I've missed that deadline. I aim to get back and have it finished before the new year, along with a proper update on the state of the channel and what to expect going forward. It was fun keeping the Oof a secret but the next few videos are really stupid and I want you to know in advance.
Thank you all so much for supporting me making stuff. I continue to be astounded, shocked, and above all thankful, that this is my life.
When my loved ones and extended family open the awful gifts I got them because they are worth nothing to me, the brief flash of joy on their faces before they see what it is was brought to them by you, your kindness to me allowed me to afford to do so. Really, you are my real family.
Fuck off Dad,
- Harry

Whether Tommy posts a response or not, I 100% want this follow up!
Congrats on the success of this one! Also, just wanted to say that your Bloodborne video inspired me to beat the game back in April. I went back a few weeks ago and platinumed it. Now I'm starting Elden Ring. God help us all
my dream is some sort of response video from Tommy, I would love to see it
Frankly, whenever I read "Merry Christmas" I hear it yelled in Alex Jones's voice now. Thanks for that Hbomb!
I LOL’d at several points and then I felt bad because I love my family. Monster.
I hope Joey sees your video and realizes his work is appreciated and there are people who still care about creators and actual facts. Plus, that video made me realise to never piss hbomb off.
I appreciate that you take the time between videos for yourself and your process. It's not easy to be deep into other people's worlds to research a video and then translate that coherently. Sometimes, the most fascinating stories (such as OOF) are the most unbelievable and really challenges us to accept what our culture and society has wrought. You bring with that a deep sense of empathy that I definitely can feel through your generous portrayals of your subjects (even if they don't agree).
that oof video was spectacular thank you hbomb :) i've been rewatching your vidsm and i gotta say most of them are fantastic, funny, and informative (i don't agree with your dark souls 2 opinion but that's fine it's ok to be wrong sometimes ;)
"the next few videos are really stupid and I want you to know in advance."
Why did you think we were following you if we minded that sort of thing?
Hey uh where'd your Tumblr go? Twitter is sadly unusable for me so I'm missing the funnies
Your videos got me through the pandemic, god bless. Also, I know a half dozen larval TT's in the gaming industry... I don't know what the deal is with that industry in particular... but man the video gave me flashbacks to dealing with a former friend and colleague
Wow, I‘m No. 500 to like this post. I‘ve never felt happier
Happy christmas
Yay, I love stupid videos!
Just a little thing--presumably you've already found out about Tommy seemingly writing his own Wikipedia page, but that page also states (or at least stated when I read it) that he was the FIRST playtester at Virgin Interactive: that's right, the very first one. The provided source doesn't back this claim up at all. Extremely funny that even randomly looking up Tommy I found another weird insane lie without even looking for it--makes me wonder what other ridiculous nonsense he's said that nobody's realized yet.
eyyyyy happy christmas, my dude!
I dunno about anyone else but I'm really looking forward to "really stupid" videos.
You're next video better be - Merry Christmas: A Measured Response - so that you can totally dubunk 'Merry' once and for all
Hippity Happity Christmas 🎄. So happy you do this shit for all us sycophants. Cheers
happy chrimbus
Next time hit em with the ole glitter bomb.
Wtf, you gave him too much credit?!?
happy christmas or other holidays (or a happy weekend if anyone here doesnt celebrate any)!! i hope everyone is staying safe n well. im so excited for that new video:]]]
Have a catch, son.
Happy Day Formerly Known As Christmas, Mr. Splimby! May your day be filled with the joy of watching your family members suffer as they try to look excited while opening the presents you got them. And remember, the War on Christmas is real and people are laughing at you for even saying “Happy Christmas” 😁 For real though, love the channel and hope you have a good holiday!
More lies? Did Tommy actually pay other people to write his music? Is Tommy's mother not actually proud of him?? Is he actually incapable of pissing and thus the waterfall doesn't affect him??? I'M ON TENTERHOOKS. Oh, and Happy Christmas! Not that we're allowed to say that considering the War on Christmas. Remember, as PJW says, it's not just some Bill O'Reilly nonsense any more!
Happy Christmas Harry!!
A very Harry Christmas to all, and to all an Oof night!
Happy Christmas Harrence.
Merry Crisis! And if Tommy *does* respond, I cannot wait to see what a piss baby fit he has😂
I’m truly surprised he hasn’t yet considering how easily bruised his ego is.
Take your time. I'll await the treat of you continuing to roast Tommy. Also I have a feeling he was lying about his involvement with Earthworm Jim 1.
Don't push yourself too hard; it's out when it's out :) Also, I'm not your real dad.
Happy Holidays eveveryone.
Happy Crisi, Mr. Harrington! Looking forward to the coming videos.
Is Tommy's house really Joey Kuras' house? Is his mother really Joey's?
God I am SO excited for an update on Tommy's bullshit, and all the other silly ideas you have planned. Thanks for all the hard work you do!! I hope you have a nice holiday ☺️
A very happy Christmas to you too !
This is the Christmas gift I always wanted ❤️
Have a good one everybody ☺️
CHRISTMAS?! Have you defected to the side of Christmas? Or were you always a double agent? I feel betrayed
Another solider in our war against Christmas has betrayed us! /s
Harry won't even say Merry Christmas! This is not some Bill O'Reilly meme anymore. This is a full on WAR ON MERRY!!! Enjoy the holiday, hbomb, love the videos
I knew I should've checked the comments to see if somebody else made the Bill O'Reilly joke first.
Happy holidays, hbomb! This video was an insane rabbit hole to fall down and I loved every second of it. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Oh yay…I love stupid videos! lol Happy Christmas! 💚
Each video you make needs at least 3 deadline misses to be good, so this is standard. Merry Holidays
I’d honestly expect nothing less from a hbomb video. If you get one out on the original deadline I think I’d cry
That would be selling out
Take good time to enjoy your relatives and the holidays, Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones.
:)
Merry Chrismun!
"When my loved ones open the awful gifts I got them because they are worth nothing to me, the brief flash of joy on their faces before they see what it is" i assume your mother isnt very proud
watch out harrison bomberman, you’re supposed to say happy holidays, or the american family will become too powerful!
I can't wait for the beard shaving video
Hahaha, aaah, I suspected that more info would come out after the video. Looking forward to the follow up!
Merry Crisis 🎄
Please don't stretch yourself to get the video out before new year. I'm very patient I promise. Have a lovely break x
That Tommy copy and pasted his music from game to game, I can't believe it!
