Tom: Welcome to Talking Tom's Brainfarts on your favourite YouTube channel.
Tom: I hope it's your favourite.
Tom: If it's not, please give me a chance.
Tom: (begging) PLEASE!
Tom: I want to talk about something very important today.
Tom: Something that might change your life.
Tom: Do I have your attention?
Tom: Today, I will teach you how to become...
Tom: A genius! (evil laugh)
(Theme song plays)
Tom: People keep asking me: Tom, how do you get so many wonderful ideas?
Tom: Well, some people do, but they should ask me more often.
Tom: Because you all know I have great ideas. Things just fly into my head.
(Tablet shows Tom getting punched.)
Tom: No, not that way. Can we get over that please?
Tom: I've done so many awesome things over the years.
Tom: I have my own show, I've created apps and all of this is made possible by one simple talent.
Tom: I'm able to think outside the box.
(Image shows Tom on a box.)
Tom: No, that's not what I mean.
Tom: I was speaking metaphorically...
Tom: Metaforcalcy...
Tom: Forcalcy...
Tom: Foracalacaly...
Tom: You know...
Tom: What I'm trying to say is that many people are scared of new ideas.
Tom: (light bulb appears) Aaah, a new idea!
Tom: But not me,
Tom: I'm not scared of the dark, though.
Tom: And spiders.
Tom: But not ideas.
Tom: Unless I have an idea about a spider in the dark...
(Lights turn off)
Tom: Yuk!
Tom: But new ideas, that's what I excel in. Let me give you an example.
News Broadcaster: Throughout history, people of all nations were trying to find a solution to the eternal question:
News Broadcaster: How can you build a better mousetrap?
Tom: So they say, nobody knows who these people were or why they weren't happy with their old mousetraps,
Tom: but I read on the internet that everyone wanted a better one.
Tom: And if it's online, it must be true.
Tom: So, I had this idea the other day. An "out of the box" idea.
Tom: (to Ben) Don't show the picture, Ben!
Tom: Thanks!
Tom: The best mousetrap might be one that wasn't a trap at all.
Tom: Here's my idea: instead of taking a piece of cheese and putting it in a trap,
Tom: just give the cheese to the mouse.
Tom: Crazy, right? But that's why it will work!
Tom: At first the mouse will be sceptical... it will think: "where's the catch?"
Tom: But then it will try the cheese. And it will be good...
Tom: (as mouse) Gauda, my favourite cheese!
Tom: (laughs) A little salty, but sweet at the same time...
Tom: Now I want some cheese.
Tom: I should remember not to do these kind of shows before dinner.
Tom: Anyway, the mouse will be really happy! It will think that it's found a new friend.
Tom: Someone who will give it cheese every day.
Tom: But then after a few days, you stop giving cheese to the mouse.
Tom: No apologies, no explanations, and no cheese.
Tom: The mouse will be like: "Where is cheese?! I thought you were my friend".
Tom: And it will leave your house, never to return again.
Tom: So there you have it! That's my idea for a better mousetrap.
Tom: And it will work too.
Tom: After all, I put it online, and if it's online, it must be true!
Tom: What about you? Do you have a better idea for a better mousetrap?
Tom: Do you?
Tom: I dare you to come up with one!
Tom: So, come up with your own epic mousetrap idea, and then tell me all about it in the comments below.
Tom: And remember to always think outside the box.
Tom: (to Ben) OK, Ben, you can show that picture one more time. I know you want to. Happy?
