08/15/2024 @riverman9040: The masculine urge to bring peace to the Wild West without a single bullet
08/15/2024 @Mc_childe: Frrr
08/15/2024 @Raised-Pheonix: Based
07/25/2025 @CarlosAtlas: Truth be told, my brother
08/15/2023 @zaksaturday1693: I only noticed after a few listens that the beat at 3:03 is literally "Fuck Off." You always do phenomenal stuff Tom
08/15/2023 @jhonyrhian3146: I just noticed now lol
08/15/2023 @wa6488: @jhonyrhian3146 Same
08/15/2023 @SkullTheLegless: Also great that it finishes the incomplete lyrics of All the townsfolk came to watch when they knew joe was gonna tell someone to (fuck off)
08/15/2024 @pluckp8399: It's my favorite bit of this song. So fuckin clever and funny
08/15/2024 @Welcome2Rizzopolis: @pluckp8399 same I noticed it right away
08/15/2024 @zynwar7475: If you liked that, you may enjoy the video game references in the enemy names, such as Leroy Jenkins... Tom's a master of sprinkling little details.
11/15/2024 @3_ormorecharacters: been listening to this since it first came out and i literally never heard this what 😭😭
08/15/2023 @oliyuprimizhu1326: The little jaunty melody that comes in with the chorus (0:23, 1:11, etc.) makes something in my brain tingle
08/15/2023 @magorei3732: YEEEEEEES, FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
08/15/2023 @THUNGUNS: piano go brrt
08/15/2023 @ZomifiedHam: That little twinge of foster’s home theme
08/15/2023 @Shadowphoenixfire: It sounds like the piano in Katzenjammer's Demon Kitty Rag to me
08/15/2024 @singlecoiiL: That piano riff cured my depression
08/15/2024 @KNGAiden2015: Yeah
08/15/2023 @allwerelookingforislove: "the mongoose mountain gang, played dirty with his twenty man creeeewwww"
i quote this to this day. its no doubt the best line.
08/15/2024 @Ash-di5kz: In what context, how do you quote this
08/15/2024 @allwerelookingforislove: @Ash-di5kz literally any time
08/15/2024 @Ash-di5kz: @allwerelookingforislove how in God's name does it come up in conversation, though😭
08/15/2024 @notapplicable6985: @Ash-di5kz Possibly when singing to themselves, I know I sometimes sing to myself
08/15/2024 @LinkGraffin: @Ash-di5kz for me it would be if I was telling a story about pretty much anything.
I'd be like "So I was running the report for marketing, then guess who came in? The mongoose mountain gang! AND they played dirty with a 20 man crew"
Then just shut up.
I dont do this, but it's an example of how I would
11/15/2024 @dollyandsandy: @LinkGraffin I like your example
04/15/2025 @ZHZhuull: @Ash-di5kz if you can't figure out how to use that line in everyday conversation it sounds like a skill issue
07/25/2025 @VGVis: It's my favorite part of the song
08/15/2023 @FrostedMiniWheatsYT: i like the southern american accent done by an austriallian
08/15/2023 @GMCamulos: Why don’t you take it for a ride now…
08/15/2023 @Prismascape: As a texan, I love it
It's more southern sounding than me
08/15/2024 @wesleygoerzen-sheard5706: Australia Iis basically the Texas of the British empire
08/15/2024 @William_079: @Prismascape as a texan i can confirm this fellow texan's reply
11/15/2024 @giving-gleo: @William_079 as a Texan I can confirm this is a Texan replying to Texans reply
08/15/2023 @randomhorror1266: 2:15 I imagine seeing Joe running in slow motion, with glimpses of what he’s leaving behind, only to catch fire and turning into smokin Joe.
08/15/2024 @Raised-Pheonix: Like ghost rider lmao, his body catches fire as he's sprinting
05/15/2025 @S0M3B0DYW31RD: I wanna animate that now but I'd have to add that to the 7+ other things I'm working on
08/15/2024 @panckepaladin: I would watch the hell out of a western where a guy defeats outlaws without ever using a gun, after his wife told him not to use a gun and promptly died, and the outlaw that killed her stole the newborn child and raised her presumably, and she grew up blaming her dad
07/25/2025 @bayjammer2748: When you put it that way it unironically starts to sound a bit like Trigun Stampede
08/15/2023 @chelseaziemer4488: This is one of my favorite songs. I listen to it when I’m feeling burnt out and it always turns me into a human Phoenix.
08/15/2024 @snappdragun7105: ?
08/15/2024 @atrocityuser143: @snappdragun7105 Let us live
08/15/2024 @EthanMusinski-wh1wh: Cringe
08/15/2023 @jazzmilsom3084: This song has such a hold over my soul, I adore it in every single way
08/15/2024 @MedicFromTF2_REAL: I love how he casually confirms the Hindu pantheon exists in this universe (He grew 18 arms as a gift from Vishnu)
08/15/2023 @Beetle_soup20: i love the album cover so much for some reason
08/15/2024 @William_079: there is many screens with red exclamation points, his (tiny) brain on fire, and men panicking and yelling and pointing to the brain on fire, meanwhile the guy is acting like everything is ok, it is definitely something to love
08/15/2024 @asksalottle220: I do have to say... There's so many questions left between the time joe runs to the point where his daughter shows up. What became of the pregnant Bo? did she die but give birth and the daughter is like Guts from Berserk? Was she taken and sold and the daughter just grew up as sub human class? I feel like there's a whole story you could tell for the daughter leading up to the encounter with joe, even make it cute like she was excited to win a flip-off with her father who she finally found, Idk... just an idea, I dont have the chops to do it myself. Still a great song I regularly come back to.
08/15/2024 @stoph_en: It's not that deep bruh
08/15/2024 @asksalottle220: @stoph_en god forbid anyone brainstorm publicly
08/15/2024 @stoph_en: @asksalottle220 she was probably giving birth when she died
08/15/2024 @yutrio: People keep saying that Bo died, but I think she got kidnapped. The story makes more sense that way.
08/15/2024 @ohnotheyfoundmeagain: @yutrio that makes so much fucking sense
08/15/2024 @ZHZhuull: Personally I like to think it went about like the kidnapped sister at the start of the first Fable game. Taken at a young age by bandits and raised as one of their own until she schemes to take over/destroy them when she's an adult
08/15/2023 @mickmickymick6927: This is actually a really sad song. Poor Smokin' Joe and his family.
08/15/2023 @Paelidore: This song absolutely fucking slaps. More people need to know about you. <3
"They know that I know that they know that they can FUCK 'EMSELF." also killed me like Rudeboy's legendary middle fingers.
08/15/2024 @joeyanunti: I laugh every time I hear that part. My favorite part of the song for sure
08/15/2023 @deadlynightshade5797: I literally can't sit still while listening to this song!!! You've hexed me!
08/15/2024 @ZacHall670: This could definitely be turned into a movie
08/15/2023 @inoroth2001: Lemmie make sure I heard ya right:
Even though ya released this song several times already, there's another Smokin' Joe; Rudeboy video we can like and comment on to help your Channel?
Bless You!
09/15/2024 @Elisethepreppyqueen: Ok but how is the most serious song he’s ever made
08/15/2023 @freak-o-tron: This is my favorite song I’ve literally ever heard
01/15/2025 @catsinwonderland7473: "Let me get my wallet- F*ck you!!"
Lmfaooo, this song is so clever. It made me perfect picture Joe pantomiming reaching into his wallet, only for his finger to emerge "flipping the bird". Love this song so much
08/04/2025 @EmilyBond-y2y: Someone turn this to a book
09/15/2024 @uselessmeerkat_4091: Can we adapt this incredible song into the best western movie ever made?
11/15/2024 @MrHetkin: How is this so f***ing wholesome!!!
08/15/2024 @huntercraven7589: Might be one of the best songs I've ever heard tbh
08/15/2024 @bricestarcher3636: This is an actual masterpiece
