Welp. This has crossed my social timelines again today. And the ONE RULE I want to carry over from that bird place is this one: if the Tom Holland Lip Sync Battle Umbrella video arrives in your timeline, you must share the Tom Holland Lip Sync Battle Umbrella video.

Enjoy.

@Johannab I just watched … cuz had to … also realized I have no idea who competed in this battle. How could this lose? Whole team put out big time. Electric lights and water mix carefully. Serious staging issues to plan out. Well, also some costume work too.

@lauxmyth I've not really paid attention to the show itself, but have heard many times that this was the best performance of all of them.

@kevinrns aww, noooO!!!! sorry.

You might be able to find an alternate load of the video just searching for "Tom Holland umbrella lip sync". It's delightful, I'm sure there's lots of fan copies.

You don't have a VPN? They're great for getting around geoblocking, like BBC being only for UK. And it's just good for security, especially for sketchy public WiFi networks or if you do torrenting that could get you in trouble with your ISP. I keep mine on all the time. Make sure you get a VPN with good transparency that doesn't keep logs of customer activity.

This is a rule. Top tier television right there!

For my money, the only performance that even came close to Tom Holland's was Anne Hathaway's friendly-but-vicious rivalry with Emily Blunt, where Hathaway dominated with "Wrecking Ball."

@Johannab I just saw this for the first time a few months ago, not sure what rock I've been living under that it took so long, but I mention this to encourage everyone to always share awesome things because someone somewhere may not have seen them yet. TIA, Internet! :)
