Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
Tom English matches Lisa Simpson through his intellectual cynicism, social awareness, and penchant for biting media critiques. Much like Lisa’s constant disillusionment with authority, he mocks political figures and corporate ethics, noting how “the AFR: 'this podcast is proudly brought to you by SatanCorporation'” and highlighting the absurdity of a “nation of cops”. He shares her love for high-quality niche television like Annika, specifically praising “Nicola Walker” over more mainstream fare. While he engages in sports culture, he maintains a Lisa-esque distance, jokingly proposing “A Bill To Mandate Footy Team Songs Accurately Describe How Good The Team Is”. Ultimately, his mix of Catholic guilt, obsession with correct “proofread” information, and sharp wit makes him the perfect Springfieldian intellectual.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTP
Tom exhibits Extroversion (E) through his constant social commentary and public engagement, even jokingly making himself his “own emergency contact” to celebrate his independence. He leans heavily into Intuition (N), frequently connecting disparate abstract concepts like “globalism” to rugby scores or theorizing about “esoteric” historical shifts. His Thinking (T) preference is shown through his dry, cynical irony and logical critiques of political rhetoric, such as his breakdown of an “outraged” umpire's logic. Finally, his Perceiving (P) nature is evident in his spontaneous, irreverent humor and his admission that he's becoming a “boomer who just angry reacts to stuff they see on TV”, reflecting an adaptable, reactive, and non-linear approach to the world.
Some pickup lines for you
- I’m no Shane Flanagan, but I’d love to apply for a position at your suburban rugby club. I promise the decision to hire me will be even easier.
- Are you a Nicola Walker series? Because I’m finding you very hard to stop watching after just one hour, and I'm ready to break the fourth wall with you.
- Forget an eventide swim—I think I'm just one (1) date with you away from happiness.
- I won't be a 'stranger' from a past life, and I definitely won't backhand compliment you—I've noticed everything about you, and it's all a total W.
- They say Australia is a nation of cops, so I should probably turn myself in—it must be illegal to look as good as you do in a wedding guest outfit at the pub.

Your signature cocktail
The Peak Tom Experience
This cocktail is a sophisticated yet sardonic blend reflecting a man who finds himself in the “Peak Tom Experience” of wearing wedding attire to a pub. The bitters represent his sharp media critiques, like calling the AFR podcast “proudly brought to you by SatanCorporation,” while the sugar cube is a nod to his protest against the “sugar tax” and his claim that “Catholic guilt is not a thing.” Finally, the garnish honors his “esoteric tweet” about the shift from white elephants as symbols of purity to symbols of wasted money. It’s a drink for someone who plays “soft power” while their mic is unmuted.
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Tom demonstrates a quintessentially Ravenclaw analytical wit, frequently deconstructing the logic of media and politics. He critiques poor messaging, noting that an ABC news promo about the importance of questions is flawed because “We have all the info already”, and provides detailed reviews of niche media like Annika, specifically praising the technicality of “4th wall breaking”. His intellectual curiosity is evident in his deep dives into history, such as his frustration over the linguistic shift of “white elephant” from a symbol of purity to a financial waste. This commitment to precision—even noting when a politician “corrects himself to 'uninterested'”—marks him as a Ravenclaw who values accuracy and observation over simple tribalism.

Your song
I've Been Everywhere - Lucky Starr / Geoff Mack
Tom English’s feed is a quintessentially Australian blend of suburban life, national politics, and sport, making this classic Aussie travelogue a perfect match.

His humor often relies on his identity as a “straight male” navigating a “nation of cops”, embodying the spirit of a modern, irony-poisoned Australian journeyman.
