- Hi, I'm TommyInnit
and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview.
[upbeat music]
This chair is not as comfy as it looks
on other videos, by the way.
[upbeat music]
Who was TommyInnit's...
[laughing]
Here we go.
Who was TommyInnit's first subscriber?
Honestly, I think it was my friend, Freddy Badlinu.
He watched all of my first streams,
he was just in all of the chats always.
One of the things I did
was to boost my videos performance.
I'd sign into an alt account
and watch all of my videos all the way through
to try and boost the algorithm.
But Freddy would do that as well
'cause he was my first subscriber.
The only problem was we did this
until I had like 100,000 subscribers.
So it was really stupid to keep doing.
Who is better, Dream or TommyInnit?
Me, obviously me.
Dream, he's a good man.
He's a cheater, but he's a good man.
I'm better than him,
I've got more character, got more looks.
I don't even know what Dream looks like,
he won't tell anyone.
Only Sapnap knows, which is weird.
Who made TommyInnit's skin?
Well, I think I found it on the Minecraft skindex.
It was like a version of it with brown hair,
and I just re-pasted it to have this top.
I think it was, I have two versions of this top and it was,
this is like the very first one and I just re-textured it.
So we did do a little bit of the old plagiarism
but at the end of the day, no one minds.
Who is TommyInnit's best friend?
It would either be Tubbo or Wilbur or Freddy.
Okay, it's chucking time.
[board falling]
What is TommyInnit real name?
Thomas Simons.
No one calls me Thomas,
I think the dumb doctors do or my mum.
What time is it where TommyInnit live?
I think right now it's like half past three
but you can't tell 'cause I'm in the ethereal void
that is the Wired shoot.
But what time I'm usually live,
usually like 8:00 PM on Twitch,
but I don't really stream these days,
I'm more of a vlogger.
What is TommyInnit's setup?
Yeah, my setup's all right.
I've got like two monitors.
Thing is I'm not known for being any good
at the video games, I just make the jokes, you know?
What did TommyInnit name his pickaxe?
I don't know.
What is the funniest video ever TommyInnit?
I really like some of the Among Us videos.
There's was this one where I joined Pokimane's call
and just made Wilbur my older brother, like really awkward.
That was probably one of the ones
I've had the most fun with.
But some of the recent ones,
we just filmed a Grand Theft Auto Five video,
I feel like we always have a good giggle and laugh
what we're doing.
Why is TommyInnit in the book of world records?
Yeah, this is really weird.
I have two Guinness Book of World records
and I didn't do any work for them.
I got a message from my friend JackSucksAtLife
and he was like hey, I'm doing this video.
Do you want some?
And I went, yeah sure.
How much is it?
And he went 20 pounds.
Literally it was for his video
and he did all the signing up, all the calling.
And I just sat there
and just one day I had these world records arrive
and I went okay.
Why was TommyInnit on the Swedish news?
So about last year when I started growing quite fast
I got quite a lot of emails
from like all of the news sites being like hey,
do you want to come on?
And I sat with my dad and we were going listen,
I kinda do but I wanna go on the news but I don't,
like I don't wanna go on all of these ones,
I wanna do it funny.
So me and dad who sort of helps me with emails and shit
made a pledge to only ever go on the Swedish news sites
because we thought it was funny.
And so I did and there's one where I'm on the Swedish news
and Tubbo is sat dead silent
in the background the entire time.
But now I'm thinking I might go
on some of the other news sites.
Sweden's had its fun,
I feel like I've got as big a can in Sweden.
So I think it might be time to expand out of that.
Why is TommyInnit in the Bella Poarch video?
She just messaged going, do you wanna be in it?
And I went, okay.
And then I showed up at the studio,
which weirdly was also my college
'cause my college doubles up as a studio.
So I was going into college
but this time as a bellboy and TommyInnit.
It was really, really weird.
But it was quite strange wasn't it?
I feel like I should be in more music videos.
I feel like I give them the touch of character
that they need.
Why was TommyInnit crying?
I don't think I've ever cried on a stream or anything
which is, you know, I keep it together.
Why is TommyInnit so tall?
Six foot three.
Why? Well my dad is like six foot five.
I guess it's just in my blood,
I guess I'm just awesome.
I don't know why, I'd like to keep growing though,
I don't wanna stop.
I feel like the taller I get the more power I get,
so I could really do with it.
[board falling]
Oh my God.
When did TommyInnit get his braces off?
Oh yeah, I forgot them wirey things on my teeth for years.
I think I got my braces off about,
I can't remember actually.
It was so weird.
I remember when they took them off,
my mouth was all like slimy for the day.
I had my braces off for bloody ages but yeah,
thank God they're gone.
When will TommyInnit hit 10 million?
Yeah, I hit 10 million.
I have it on YouTube and on TikTok.
And I've got the little trophy as well
but it's very, very grubby.
When is TommyInnit going to stop streaming?
That's sort of aggressive.
When am I gonna quit?
I really like streaming.
I mean, I used to stream daily, like every day
and I've sort of simmered out over the past year
to maybe once every week, every two weeks.
And then I get really into it, I get into my groove.
I don't think I'm gonna quit streaming.
I like, I love it.
When did TommyInnit get the discs?
Arg, [indistinct].
The Minecraft discs from the Dream SMP,
we had a big finale stream, I got them all back then.
And I've had them just sitting in my under chest since then.
But I don't know, I could see a world
where something's coming up,
but not that I'll spoil any plans.
But yeah, we battled for them back
and then puns and the gang just really clutches up.
Is TommyInnit...
That was not worth the reveal.
Is TommyInnit a child?
So yes.
You know what, I can finally say yes.
Right now, right now I'm a child
but the video comes out after my birthday.
So when you're watching this, I'll be a man.
I'll be hoping you don't comment going,
wow, what a big man he is?
Is TommyInnit a billionaire?
Yes, I am a billionaire.
I have so much money
that's for me.
[laughing]
And if I'm not, then you'll never know.
Is TommyInnit in No Way Home?
Oh, that would be awesome.
I think one of my bucket list things
is to be canon to the MCU.
Like that would be so cool.
And I'm getting there given Andrew Garfield
has sat in an identical chair to this one.
Not the same, but an identical one in Los Angeles.
Is TommyInnit...
No, I know I got this, don't worry.
A theater kid.
I think so, I think I am.
I did a lot of acting in school.
I specifically remember performing Foot Loose
in front of the entirety of my academy.
I did musical Back to the 80s,
I was the villain, can you believe that, me?
I was the villain and it ended with me
getting karate kicked in the face.
This is not, this was like five years ago as well.
This is not a long time ago.
And I did Little Shop of Horrors and I was Seymour.
I was the main, smashed it.
But for the past few years, I've just been a Minecraft kid.
Switching it up a bit.
Is TommyInnit made in a lab?
These have been a serious set of weird questions, Wired,
or Google, whoever's to blame.
But no, no I wasn't made in a lab.
TommyInnits cow's name.
When I did the dream SMP
I had a cow that got brutally murdered named Henry
and he was brilliant and beloved and is dead.
This is a long boy,
TommyInnit has the voice of an angel.
Thank you, Google.
I've done a little bit of singing in the past.
I always open up my streams by humming a little thing.
[TommyInnit humming]
But I've been getting older now,
my voice keeps cracking everywhere I go.
I need help.
TommyInnit,
Mr. Beast.
That's Dave Beast, Jimmy.
I mean, I know him, I keep showing up in his gaming videos.
Him and my dad had an argument the other day
that he put on his story about
how he has a real life light saber.
Me and my dad was saying,
that's not real life Jimmy.
First of all, they don't have chords
'cause it would stick to your back.
Second of all, it can't chop through things.
He got very angry, very quickly angry about that.
I think he's evil.
But yeah, he's cool.
He's insane, but he's cool.
TommyInnit ram, uh oh.
TommyInnit beat Gordon Ramsey.
Oh Gordon.
Well so, Gordon has the most TikTok followers
in all the English people and I wanted to try and pass him
and then he briefly messaged me and he went,
hey, can we duet you?
I went yeah sure
and I'm still waiting on Gordon.
I think it's still a little bit confusing
but he's a very angry man.
He definitely doesn't deserve
all of the TikTok followers in the world.
It makes no sense.
I'm awesome.
Oh no.
Okay.
Done with this board.
Big one coming.
[laughing]
How much so bad at the Wire Autocomplete Interview?
This is not, no one else has struggled with this.
Does TommyInnit know how to play piano?
Yes, I am a grade five jazz pianist.
I did piano lessons for nine years.
I can sight read chords,
like you can just give me a G tab
and I'll just sit and I can do it.
But I can't really read sheet music anymore
or be like proper good.
But I know there's one jazz song I can play
over and over and over.
Yeah.
Does John Cena follow me?
He does.
He's never replied to me.
Okay, I'll set that out in the open.
I think he follows like half a million people
which begs the question,
John, are you really invested in the TommyInnit universe
like you should be?
I don't think John Cena is passionate about me
like I'm about him, but it's fine.
Does TommyInnit need glasses?
I booked to go to the optician yesterday,
I'm now on the cancellation list in Boots.
So if someone else pulls out, I'm going in.
So if you live in Brighton
and are going to the opticians, please cancel
'cause I haven't gone to the opticians in like five years.
Does TommyInnit have a crush on the queen?
I think I do.
But as times going on and I'm getting older,
my senses are maturing.
I'm sort of realizing
there's only so much rejection someone can take
and constant ignoring.
And when I show up outside her house, her palace,
and she just ignores me until it's just painful.
Does TommyInnit reply to DMs?
You know what, I think for the past few years
I've been really good at replying to everyone's messages.
But recently I'll admit I've been slipping off,
I've been falling off.
How did TommyInnit come up with his name?
So Tommy is because I'm called Tom
and I always thought Tommy was the cooler version of Tom
and I always wanted to secretly be called Tommy.
And then Innit was yeah,
just everyone around where I lived said innit all the time
and I really liked it.
Felt very like personal to me.
And I said innit and my mom did, right?
I think the first time I ever used it
was in a geography lesson
when you had to come up with your username,
that's when I wrote it down
for my show my homework log in or something.
I was like, I'm not gonna go by Tom Simons.
I wanna be the cool kid in geography,
I'm gonna go by TommyInnit.
It wasn't cool.
And I remember the teacher going,
why did you name yourself that?
And I went...
That was, and then I never used it again at school.
How to play with TommyInnit?
I play on Minecraft Hypixel,
I play a lot of Bedwars, but I'm usually like hidden.
But if you just play Bedwars every night
you'll probably end up going against me or PUBG,
I'm usually on those games.
How fast does TommyInnit type?
I'm an awesome typer.
So you know how people type like that
with all fours, like that?
I don't, I just go.
I type like how an old woman would type, like that.
But I've done it for so many years,
for like six years I've been typing like that.
I go and I'm pretty good at it.
How to cosplay TommyInnit?
You're gonna need the wig,
you're gonna need this guy
and then you gotta start shouting shit
and swear a lot and go hello,
and then you'll be on your way.
How is TommyInnit growing so fast?
I mean, I just make quite a lot of videos.
I think I do like two every, like two a week at the moment.
And I put quite a lot of thought into the idea
and what we're making and producing them, it's all I do,
and I'm tired.
Cool.
Wired, the Wired audience,
thank you for having me.
I feel like a proper celebrity now.
I'm breaking the chair.
