Tom Cruise Crazy

- As Jonathan Coulton wrote in his blog when he first released this song, there's something kind of sad about people who succeed so completely at becoming rich and famous that they stop existing on the same planet as the rest of us and start living in some other universe altogether. This song pokes fun at Tom Cruise for losing it publicly like he did, but it also seems to pity him a bit as well. Tom may be nuts, but he does make good action films, and it's not pleasant to see anyone go off the deep end like that.
Special thanks to my Co-Creative Director on this video, Nick Bayhi. Nick came up with most of the clever movie titles on the posters, as well as the idea for the video's ending. As Nick put it, "if he's so crazy and narcissistic, he should just marry himself". Genius!
(Note to Tom Cruise, if he's watching this -- hey Tom, we're just having fun playing with the stereotypes here. Nothing personal. No reason to get upset or sue anyone, right? So, you and me, we're still cool? Call me. :)
The song at the end of the video is "Over There", another great Jonathan Coulton song.
14 years later, still so catchy and pops in my head every now and then
Every time I see a new Mission Impossible trailer or scene I think of this. He really is Tom Cruise Crazy.
Same
Man I was 9 when I first watched this. Crazy to find it again after all this time
Never ever gonna stop watching your music videos. Never appreciated how well you timed everything and the little details you do that probably took ages to do with the tools we had back then like I appreciate them today. Kudos to you and naturally to Johnathan Coulton whom you introduced me to in the best way possible.
Not that the world needs a song to know Tom Cruise is batshit crazy, but just the fact that there IS a song about it speaks volumes.
Well the context of this song seems to be that of the hub-ub of people thinking he was a closeted homosexual overselling his heterosexuality on Oprah's show in 2006 or so. You can divorce the song from the homosexual self-loathing aspect and view it as a simple but true parable about how the internal self does not always match the external self, both for big name celebrities, and for people in general.
Playing Wow TBC Classic and in Zangarmarsh killing Fen Striders, this popped into my head. Wonderful. These videos are still so amazing!
I feel so old... I remember when this was new, and now it's NINE YEARS old! Where did the time go? Still great though.
11 years now. I guess the years really do keep coming and they don't stop coming
12 holy shit
sigh now nearly 15 years later. Why does time pass faster and faster each year??
16 years now...😂
I wasn't sure i liked this song that much when i first heard it, but it's grown on me...to the point that I've now listened to it 8 times in a row
Spiffworld, did I ever tell you this is a fantastic video!
Well done on nailing all the references and the subtleties of the song
spiff, i gotta tell ya--your WOW videos are PERFECT for JoCo's songs! it's like they were MADE for each other! thanks so much for your work!
I interpreted it as such:
He isn't satisfied or he isn't happy with his life yet everyone (more likely than not before he went off the deep end) thought he was such an awesome person and wished they were him. In a way I think its a "The grass is always greener..." scenario.
I was just listening to this song, saying I hope Spiffworld will do this. And hey, look at that! 5 starr'd as always. Long live Jonathan Coulton and Spiffworld!
what a throw back
Tom Cruise's Covid rant brought me here once again.
Definitely doesn't feel like 7 years since I first watched this.
I still remember all the lyrics to the point!~
Nice avatar~
cause its 9
now 11 years
Definitely doesn’t feel like 7 years since I first read this comment
Been a Coulton fan for years now and still to this day this is the song I find myself singing day to day
Love this! I love how all your vids give joco's stories endings, and they're always perfect. Great marriage of his songs to WoW, and great marriage of tom cruise to tom cruise. :D
Nick Bayhi, i salute you for the help with givingthis the extra boost to make me watch it an extra (bagazillion?) tiems a week
Best video yet. Totally awesome and amazingly clever. My favourite part is the Risky Business scene.
Oh thank you that another one of these came out! I've loved every video even since I've stopped playing WoW.
Another great WoW/Coulton/Spiff video! Thank you for putting in the hard work to entertain us.
I love the Oprah reference!
hahahah damn so i'm not the only one who thinks those striders are like in the War of the Worlds XD
great vid, Jonathan you ARE the king! Top GundrakXD
Great job making Tom Cruise references, while subtly poking fun at him the same way the song does. Probably one of your best!
I love this song :D
I'd have thought he'd worship the space-goat. XD
Those movie parodies are fantastic, spiff! A++++ would lol again.
One of your best so far Spiff. Great job.

I love it. And I love the way you got lots of his films in, Day of Thunder...Lizards was my favourite.

This is the most well done WoW video I've ever seen. Top marks man.
A totally unexpected way to pull out an end scene, great job!
Another smashing hit of a movie from Spiffworld! Great job!

I had to listen to it like 25 times to get what he meant by "you'd be the only man on earth who couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise" xD
Man, I gott say, VERY well done. Most of your videos are great, this one is... um... Super-great? Anyway loved it.
Spiff, as always you create awesome work!

"Beavisth, thisth isth the coolestht thing I have ever stheen."

OK, I'll confess - on second viewing I caught some of the visual allusions to his films that bypassed me the first time. It's definitely growing on me.

I'm sure I'm going to have to watch this one a bunch of times to catch all the jokes - excellent as always
