3 | ''TOMICA Thomas & Friends'' is a parody series of ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DieselD199 DieselD199]] on Website/YouTube. It follows the same general idea, but with in-jokes, parental bonuses and themes that wouldn't be present in the original show. It was originally made with Tomy toys, but like the show, has since gone CGI. |

6 | !!''TOMICA Thomas & Friends'' provides examples of: |
7 | |
8 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Toad likes Oliver so much that it's seen as pathetic. Some of the things that Oliver's said to him include: |
9 | -->'''Oliver:''' Toad. Shut up.\ |
10 | '''Oliver:''' Are you kidding me? Toad's a ''worse'' name than Duck.\ |
11 | '''Oliver:''' ''Oh my god'', Toad, you are ''so'' annoying! |
12 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Thomas becomes a {{Jerkass}} and sometimes a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, Edward is a borderline pervert a la [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Herbert]], Henry and Molly TookALevelInDumbass, Percy is gay, Toby also becomes a {{Jerkass}} and Duck hates diesels and [[spoiler: gets possessed]]. |
13 | * AffectionateParody: Of WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends. |
14 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Toad is ''very'' close to Oliver. The engine, however... |
15 | -->''[after being asked about Valentine's Day]''\ |
16 | '''Oliver:''' I wish I could, but I'm going to be [sigh], ''Toad's'' Valentine.\ |
17 | '''Toad:''' Oh, it's going to be ''so'' romantic, Mr Oliver.\ |
18 | '''Oliver:''' OH MY GOD, Toad, you are ''so'' annoying! |
19 | * BigEater: The Fat Controller once nearly ruined Christmas thanks to his large appetite. He also once sent out Thomas to do, as the engine said himself, "his food shopping". |
20 | * BlatantLies: In short 3, Thomas vehemently denies violently [[DisproportionateRetribution murdering the Fat Controller over a donut]], despite it being proved by video evidence on Website/YouTube ''and'' Thomas himself saying so. |
21 | * BuffySpeak: "Attack of the Wooden Box on Wheels" |
22 | * TheCameo: The Slender Engine appears in occasional background shots; most often when it's mentioned offhand. |
23 | * {{Camp}}: Percy comes off as this. He has a very high-pitched voice, is quite close to Thomas and wants to be Music/MileyCyrus for Halloween. Not helped by the fact that he's actually CampGay. |
24 | * CurseCutShort: Peter Sam barely has enough time to say ''motherfucker'' before the trucks barrel into him in short 38. |
25 | * DirtyOldMan: Edward. His price for excorcising Duck in short 32? ''Percy''. |
26 | * DisproportionateRetribution: |
27 | ** Thomas blows up Toby's shed because he is bored. |
28 | ** He also kills the Fat Controller because he ate the last donut. |
29 | * ADogNamedDog: Lampshaded in short 24, when the Fat Controller first hears Diesel's name: |
30 | -->'''The Fat Controller:''' Well, that's bloody original, that is. |
31 | * DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:In short 37, the Slender Engine takes out engines during the night, starting with Henry, until only Thomas and Percy are the ones left.]] |
32 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first two shorts are the only videos to be age-restricted due to excessive cursing. A lot of the older videos also had a lot of humor intended for older audiences. [=DieselD199=] would later go back and remake the first short in his current style. |
33 | * EldritchAbomination: The Slender Engine. It's a jet black steam engine with a blank face, and is implied to have supernatural powers. [[spoiler: Then it gets possessed.]] |
34 | * [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]: The giant Thomas from Henry's dream in short 35 can shoot lasers from its eyes. |
35 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Thomas thinks that he is invincible because he is the title character. |
36 | * InsistentTerminology: It's not a lobotomy, it's 'sensitivity training'. |
37 | * {{Irony}}: Thomas is disgusted by 'Cheap merchandising!' in short 35, despite the fact that he's also a toy. |
38 | * {{Jerkass}}: Thomas, surprisingly. |
39 | * JumpScare: Whenever the Slender Engine is seen, this is inevitable, which makes sense [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos considering its inspiration.]] |
40 | * LarynxDissonance: Diesel D 199's portrayal of Emily. |
41 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: |
42 | ** From short 17: |
43 | --->'''James:''' Haven't you ever read the opening credits? |
44 | ** From short 38: |
45 | --->'''Trucks:''' It made more sense in the ''Literature/TheRailwaySeries''. |
46 | * NegativeContinuity: The Fat Controller is brutally murdered by Thomas in short 5, only for him to reappear alive and well a few shorts later. Knapford Station has also been destroyed ''twice'' only to be completely rebuilt in the next episode. |
47 | * NoodleIncident: |
48 | ** Toby turns out to be able to exorcise farm animals. |
49 | ** Thomas can ''somehow'' buy uranium off eBay. |
50 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Played with in short 5: |
51 | -->'''James:''' Maybe it's his time of the month. |
52 | * RunningGag: Several. |
53 | ** Oliver telling Toad to shut up. |
54 | ** How Duck has a stupid name for an engine. |
55 | ** Thomas repeatedly referring to his status as title character and how he is thus invincible. |
56 | * SavingChristmas: Henry, Gordon and James try to stop the [[BigEater Fat Controller]] from eating all the cookies and milk. |
57 | * ScareChord: Always accompanies the Slender Engine's JumpScare. |
58 | * ShoutOut: |
59 | ** The Slender Engine is an obvious reference to the Slenderman creepypasta. |
60 | ** For Halloween, Henry, Gordon and James once dressed up as the Avengers. |
61 | * TheStoner: Henry is implied to be this after his 'special coal' makes Gordon and James high, (although in Henry’s defense he still claims to smoke that coal for ''Medical Reasons''). |
62 | * StuffBlowingUp: Knapford Station has been blown up ''twice'', Bill and Ben once blew up the Express by accident, and Thomas has destroyed Toby's shed because he was bored. |
63 | * TakeThat: A number of shorts poke fun at recent events on the show. Short 47 is particularly vicious. |
