The first time I watched this video on YouTube, I hadn't even got a Twitter account yet and had no idea of what happens on this social media, thus I've been truly shocked by how vulgar it is; I mean, most of these tweets although explicitly sexual are tolerable and somehow funny, but some are straight-on coarse and even weird, brutal and frankly sick.
I feared that Tom, who I deeply admire and appreciate and find as talented as gorgeous, felt ill-at-ease or insulted and I felt very bad for him...
...but once registered on Twitter and a little more used to it, since I saw other users repeatedly quote this video and look like they had a lot of fun with it, I came to re-watch it, and re-watch it again, and gradually, I found it ever more and more hilarious... and finally understood why: not for the tweets, but for Tom!
Once again awesome, as self-confident as smart and witty, almost naughtier that the tweets themselves, Tom manages to point out what each tweet has that is particularly odd or absurd, and builds up on these elements genuine little sketches, so over-the-top that you can't avoid to laugh out loud at their cheeky and naughty craziness.
It is visible that Tom Ellis is a healthy, good and intelligent person, become a sex symbol in his late 30s hence mature enough to appreciate it and be grateful to us his fans for it, and that it is as a gourmet delight that he enjoys playing with us, teasing us, compete in sex hints and bad jokes with us.
Now that I am myself a proud writer of thirst tweets (but soft ones, Tom is not a piece of meat even so), I fully have fun with this video and love how this handsome, smart and talented man reacts to what he arouses in us.
In short, the video is so good because the man is.
And, don't forget: TOM ELLIS IS DADDY! ;-)
