The thought of "Puffa" being a dockworkers "trainsona" in order to roleplay with the tugs is both hilarious and terrifying. If someone took over as driver for a day would the tugs assume its a different train or that their friend has suddenly had a major mood shift? Say what you want, but because Puffa gained their love and respect the tugs put themselves in danger in order to save his life so, it's his win I guess?

Tom referencing the werewolf tumblr post almost made me pass out laughing. That post ruined my life because I can never tell ANYBODY what I’m wheezing about

I much prefer Tugs, for its production value, setting and voice cast - not only do they differentiate the personalities between the characters, but I like it how it sounds like conversation in the pub with adults rather than just one narrator talking simplistically.

Some fun answers to the questions that are legitimately canon: The liners are all referred to in early preproduction notes as "Queens", with the phrase 'queens of the seas' being taken literally and that when one arrives in port the little tugs are like bees catering to the queen of the hive. They do have individual character in the early docs such as the Duchess being boastful about arriving early and fucking up everyone's schedule, and there are some small hints of character left in the show itself - The Duchess is flying barely-visible signal flags that translate to "Thank You Captain Star - Good Luck Tugs", and the voice on the finale's credits is implied to be the S.S. Vienna herself singing - they are indeed on a slightly higher plane, they're considered royalty who just rarely make public speaking appearances. It's really funny to me how close you got to the truth with what was just supposed to be a bit lmao The humans were intended to appear - the boats were indeed supposed to have a manned crew, and the original draft of Munitions saw Captain Star stand on a wooden crate with the harbour-master outside his burnt-out office assuring that they would be able to get through the crisis. Patrick Allen, the narrator, also canonically appeared dressed as Captain Star at a press launch on the HMS Belfast before the show's premiere. They do have subtle presence outside the office in the show itself though- the _cars._ The owner of each company in the port has his own unique car that appears around the port to signify the respective captains aren't just confined to their office, but they're admittedly bloody hard to spot with just the VHS footage. Regatta has them most obviously as each company's bargefloat has their car on it. Captain Zero's black mobster car appears in the establishing shot of the munitions factory scene, Star's utility truck appears in the background of Krakatoa being loaded as well as upriver once operations were moved there for the big freezeup, etc. Star's truck also actually starts off in the first two episodes as a much more ramshackle ute and is then upgraded in Pirate to the one that appears for the rest of the series, and it's been confirmed that this was deliberate on the part of the director David Mitton - it actually ties in with Star starting to get money in from the regular Duchess contract, which was to have a second docking in Jinxed, the final episode where the original truck appears. Surprising amount of genuinely deep lore lol Tugs' issue with tone kinda stems from it being made by alumni of Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet series. Exceedingly dark adult tones in kids shows were the norm of the 60's and Tugs kinda tried to recapture that but got watered down by the network into an unsatisfying middle-ground. That's why the theme literally has Eastenders drums in the drop, it wasn't actually trying to be kiddy. In a way it was very ahead of its time in basically being an adult show portrayed via a medium usually used for kids shows, it was legitimately aimed at an older audience but the association to Thomas in all its advertising led to some... very skewed expectations that it wasn't actually aiming for. Absolutely adore the vid, as a big fan of this show the jokes had me rolling. Keep it up, Tom! Also boycott Tugs The Exhibition, they nasty

A builder ended up finding the props and took them all home to try and repair them. He then gave them to some fans who then created a group called the Star Tugs Trust, who later renamed to TUGS: the Exhibition. They’ve done some pretty scummy things, like taking the props out and letting anybody touch them, which can result in the props getting damaged, withholding media for private viewings that cost money to see, and just generally being snobby about criticism. I wish I could support them, because the concept of preserving these props is really great, but they just seem way to unprofessional for them to really know how the run something like an exhibition.

For those who aren’t fully immersed in Surfshark Ad Lore yet: The ad in this video is most definitely a callback to the ad from the Thomas & Friends episode, where Tom tortures one of his friends in order to force him to buy Surfshark. It shows not just violence, but a bag of body parts that are claimed to be Eddy. The ad was so violent that the Advertising Standard Authority in the UK asked Tom to remove the ad after a complaint was made that it was too violent. If you watch the Thomas & Friends video right now, Tom claims the video is sponsored at the start of the video, but the ad is missing. That’s because, while it wasn’t too violent for Surfshark, it was for the Advertisers. The ad in this video is making fun of this fact, while also making fun of how strict other companies are with their own sponsored adverts. The fact that the guy telling them to stop is not labeled as any specific company supports that the ad is a response to the infamous torture advert. Ironically, it’s actually probably the least dark advert of all of Tom’s Surfshark ads, or at least the cleanest (only one swear that is specifically pointed out). TL;DR: Tom made a Surfshark ad that got banned, this videos one makes fun of that.

Chapter 4: Can we kill the Tugs? "Please?!" 🤣 Tom becoming more & more horrified and gradually losing his mind over this show is hilarious.

That's hard to say, really. It is old, weird and something that could bring nostalgia so it certainly could happen but it could just as well flop badly.

That it only got 12 episodes is a disadvantage too but it isn't like Firefly got more then 14 and it have a huge following so that doesn't mean it wouldn't work either. But all weird kids shows from the 80s doesn't become nostalgic hits. I am kinda 50/50 if it would turn it into a cult classic or totally flop.

It’s also interesting to note that Tugs was apparently meant for slightly older kids, hence the prevalence of darker themes. It was also part of the reason it failed. Younger kids didn’t like the darker themes, older kids didn’t want to watch the funny boat show

@@georgeoliver8300 That just sounds like bad planning to me. The way that I imagine that going down is that an 8 year old would realize they're too old for Thomas, try Tugs as a replacement and find it unappealing, and then just disconnect from talking vehicle shows entirely.

Did you know that the Japanese dub of Tugs features both Kiryu and Majima? And they actually intract? The voice actors I mean. Majima isn't gonna jump in and kick the boats. Sorry if I got your hopes up. EDIT: NEVER FUCKING MIND IT WAS THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE Majima is a boat and Kiryu is a crane so I misremembered.

I had this tugboat toy as a child that looked like it could have been from this show, but nothing I've seen of it so far has matched the specific look of that toy. Then I learned about Theodore Tugboat...

2023 off to a good start! I'd love to see a video on Chuggington. A show where the trains not only are clearly the overlords of the planet but there's even a "birthing" episode where a baby train is introduced. There's at least 10 minutes of content right there! Oh also Jay Jay the Jet engine looks like hellspawn and Bob the builder would be a laugh.

engie benjy where machines need reparing constantly and can feel pain, always trying to escape the small island but never could. treated like pets.

I used to live in the same neighbourhood that the real Theodore Tugboat was docked until it was sold and moved to Ontario

I think one of the things worth remembering with both Thomas and Tugs is that they're meant to be anthropomorphized machines, and are thus explicitly treated as machines, not as sentient independent people or animals, so people talk to, and treat them the same as machines that are designed for a job. When they are no longer able to do that job, the expected result happens.

I don't think they are human. I think they're sentient megaphones

I would like to point out that the Uncle thing could be a mentor style relationship lineage and not the a-fu**in. For example when a ship is first made it has a mentor, its "parent" then either boats made in the same place or boats mentored together would be "siblings" Also, its good to see. another episode of Children Shows theory from our pal TomPat :) They are wonderfully weird and always enjoyable

12:10 Ow! Thats that thing that parents do!

Ironically it failed because it was a kids show that felt like it was more for adult, and yet the reason people love it now is because that audience are now adults that understand the angle of the show. Funny video, I do wish you would have given the mention of the models being rescued by the Star Tugs Trust as all the TUG characters (except Top Hat and Grampus) were salvaged.

Thought it is a great tv show, I’m kind of glad it ended because if it were to continue, it would probably end up like TTTE with maybe a hit era and 2D reboot.

24:51 Tom, you know we can't do that Tom.

I just thought, can you imagine if he did a video like this for Cars?

10:27 why is this not the most replayed clip

Theory. The large boats faces are probably inside the helm or something and that's why they can't speak directly to other boats. Probably like that one robot wheel guy from Wall-E.
