/cow/ - Lolcows (Three Years on 8chan!)

From what I remember, Thomas' shows are used to help autists with recognizing faces with emotions (some bullshit like that). I think lazy parents plop their autistic child in front of that show, and the child beccomes obessed with it like it's some sort of new reality for them. Becoming a fucking train.

>>203526

My cousins autistic kid is obsessed with that show.

>>203527

so am I on the money or nah?

>>203517

Also RIP Trainboy54's YT channel

He's the best.

>>203531

Well they don't just put him in front of the tv all day. But he does throw hissy fits when it's taken away from him. I think they need to work on it. There is something about it that does draw them in though.

This guy is the ultimate tanktard IMO.

>>203538

I should ad that they are spending a fortune on therapy for him since he's recently regressed and it seems likely this regression is due to an abusive teacher. So his escapism seems logical. He went from being verbal to nearly none verbal. I think I'm one of the only people the little guys attempted communication with in a long time, and all he wanted from me was help up into a seat so he could watch that show on an iPod. Kids in a messed up place right now. I think something about the show helps them cope. I'm not certain that's a bad thing. If they can use it to get him back to verbal somehow then it would be a miracle.

Also we are talking about a child.

>>203533

Oh shit, his channel got blasted by copyright claims?

I'm going to miss that trackmaster autism.

>>203540

Oh my dawg I'm not blasting the kid. I'm just saying about how it draws in autistic people in general.

>>203539

Gumbane?

From what i remember when BlackBuster was fucking with them he was one of the guys to show the rest of us just how nutty Trainboy was. Hell the Thomas fans hit him harder than commentaryfags or sonicfags. Im glad BBC finally got a fucking life.

>>203558

Yeah. The facial expressions are over the top and obvious. Does Jim Carrey have an autistic fan base? How about Adam Sandler? If so then I'd say you nailed it.

>>203619

By the gods. https://www.autismspeaks.org/news/news-item/adam-sandler-did-something-awesome-boy-autism

If you wanted to make a live action version of this show, who would he play? Who else would you cast? I bet if we pushed for it in the autism speaks forum or whatever we could get enough spergs excited by the idea to actually get it done and since it would be endorsed by the autism community the celebrities would actually do it for the publicity and the warm and fuzzies. Let's make this train wreck happen.

One of his "trackmaster Thomas trains" videos. Thank god for reuploads.

Bumping with one of his "songs"

Thomas the Tank Engine first aired in the United Kingdom in 1984.

So assuming a 4-year old autist saw the first airing, are there any around nowadays? Are there any 36-year old autistics who obsess over Thomas the Train?

What's the name of the one guy who does thomas videos with a barely audible/low voice voice?

>>203754

**barely audible/low voice

>>203717

The reason the guy in your webm does that is to help with his speech. Talking for long amounts of time. He's fucked up due to a stroke or something, but he's gotten a lot better if you compare his older videos to his newer ones.

>>203533

It's gone?

Shit, truly no one is safe from the broken YouTube copyright system. I'm gonna miss him, his videos were boring as fuck but the sheer absurdity of them always entertained me in a weird way

>>203607

I miss Blackbuster's stuff. All it is is console wars wanking now on his channel.

>>203619

>Does Jim Carrey have an autistic fan base?

I knew an autistic kid back in middle school who was OBSESSED with Jim Carrey. He liked to do the over the top expressions and stuff that Carrey does in his movies.

He'd always get really triggered when people told him he looked like McLovin from Superbad. It became an inside joke at my middle school. Shit was hilarious.

I also remember how he'd literally run to the cafeteria every day so he could get pizza. When seconds would be offered near the end of lunch he'd frantically raise his hand like his life depended on it. And if he didn't get any extra pizza, he'd loudly bang his head into the lunch table. I remember another time he got sent to the back of the lunch line for cutting through other people. He got super mad, and when I'd made my way to a table in the cafeteria, I could see the line for meatball subs slowly peter out. Then I heard a loud scream outside of the cafeteria.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I know of at least one autistic person who was a big Jim Carrey fan, though- likely cuz of the obvious facial expressions.

It sounds like ADHD paried with autism. Is it just me or are a lot of ADHD kids just extroverted spergs? I remember tons of "ADHD" kids at my schools who were pig-tier and always had the following traits

>interrupt class discussions with off topic shit

>no concept of indoor voice

>watches age/gender inappropriate cartoons

>likes Invader Zim, happy tree friends, Kids next Door, Emperor's New Groove

>trying to be random on purpose

>few or no friends

>constantly mention that they take medication

>occasional tantrums

Which one of these train guys is the sperg with cokebottle glasses and dresses in brony gear and the voice that cracks every other word? I can't find him anymore, but I can't imagine his channel got taken down

>>203867

Thank you, the name was escaping me for a while there.

>>203914

Some of those behaviors happened to be shared with attention defect-type disorders. When all combined together though, you just about have a sure-fire case of the 'tism.

Whether or not said pig is autistic, a few of those traits could easily be caused by excessive coddling from mommy and no definition of boundaries otherwise.

>>204118

Thanks.

I don't know why I remembered this guy more than the others but this is some incredibly potent autism. Imagine if you will 38 episodes of badly edited Thomas the Tank Engine episodes with him and his retarded friend spliced in. These two goons are Grade A spergs if I've ever seen one.

And they're friends with Trainboy54. Of course.

>>204119

The artistic abilities with MS Paint. Jesus Christ.

>>204119

Also I need to make 50 webms of this video.

>>204119

That british guy's face is so weird looking. It looks like too short.

Trainboy54 lives in a tent inside of his house, right?

>>204121

You're right.

>hey children, what's the matter??

>well, iii'll be!!

>guysguysguysguysguysguys

>don't you guys think you're being a little bit ridiculous?

>ha! i knew it!

>well said, good sir! well said!

>>204119

The similarities in mannerisms between that american tard in the vid and the nostalgia critic at 2:35 is uncanny.

>>204131

You notice that in a lot of these spergs. They're so influenced by him they end up thinking aping his way of "acting" is actually good.

Doug is practically royalty to these people.

http://tune.pk/video/3826113/trainboy54-adventures-of-phineas-and-ferb-episode-53-does-this-duckbill-make-me-look-fat

I've been scrambling everywhere trying to find some of Trainboy54's videos. Happened to find at least this one.

>>204135

> 53 episodes of this on his old channel

Good lord.

You know, on second thought, I can definitely see why his channel got pegged; he basically uploaded entire episodes of Phineas and Ferb with very, VERY minimal changes by editing himself in.

Bump.

Like many other autistics, AckleyAttack has his own Wikia.

If I didn't see the Thomas the Train before Tankies, I would've thought this was a thread on British Trotskyite lolcows.

>>205097

>This hand of mine glows with a creepy power

>>205097

Jesus, he looks no different than Jawsus.

Separated at birth?

These guys seem a lot more wholesome than most cows: not a lot of sexualizing trains or doing the terrible shit that cows usually do.

Doesn't seem julayable, just seems like we're laughing at autistic people for being autistic. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>>204825

Thank God. He has returned.

Oh fuck, cow is stronk.

>>205767

OUR LORD AND SAVIOR HAS RETURNED

>>205767

That whole "its only a cow" part should be a webm

http://blog.centerforautism.com/2011/02/01/whats-the-deal-with-autistic-kids-and-thomas-tank-engine/ Interesting article that probably explains the autist attraction to Thomas.

>>205108

The New Storyteller just isn't a cow, the guy is unjulayable.

He's gotten thousands of comments calling him a serial killer over the years and he either doesn't care or is too smart to react.

He's definitely sees them, as he thanks people who leave compliments and answers questions in the comments. (He's also really polite).

What's more his family seem to be pretty level headed and supportive so even if someone actually succeeded, their reward would probably just be him vanishing from youtube.

He's even immune to just being observed and reported on as he puts out cocks so fast it's near impossible to keep up, and his archive of old cocks is far too large to trawl through. He's uploaded 5000+ videos some of which are over 4 hours long. One of these 4 hour videos is just part of what appears to be one continuous film which totals out at about 22 hours (this might not even be the longest one). We'd need a team of professional researchers to go through it all.

To cap it all off this guy >>205108 is right, TNS honestly comes off as a really nice guy. He's polite, reacts better to criticism than most creative types and seems (as much as you can say this about a man who makes Thomas the Tank Engine fan films that dwarf the entire Lord of the Rings saga) reasonably well adjusted.

The New Story Teller isn't a cow, he's a God.

God his voice is contagious

>>208055

A part of me wants to hire him for voice acting. I swear he just sounds so cartoonish.

>>205830

On that note, has Trainboy54 reacted to any trolls/criticism or what?

He showed his address off in this vid. That's not a terribly good idea honestly.

>>205830

>tfw Storyteller had a stroke

>before you could stroke him

IKTFB

What a man.

>>208765

That is flat out depressing. He dox'd himself.

You know what? Fuck it.

I love this kid. I wanna give him a bear hug.

This guy rules.

You know, I'm honestly surprised these guys aren't fans of the musical Starlight Express. It's basically the same thing but without the disturbing faces.

I don't understand what keeps these people from upgrading to actual model trains and creating sets. I guarantee that they, as adults, would have a far funner time with those.

>>208978

There are different gauges and plenty of different companies, including Lionel, if they're still around. But yeah, it's pretty much Games Workshop.

FIX YOUR SHIT

>>208978

>>208980

Marklin a shit, my LBS (Local Bike Store) dude made his shop in a old Marklin store.

Once when I used his toilet there was a bin full of old train props next to it waiting to be disposed of, just for shits and giggles I picked up one prop: 35 guilders for a plastic car!

The LBS itself is quite based though.

>>208977

I think a lot of it comes from attachment to the characters, brighter colors, hell maybe even because the thomas trains have faces. I guess they have a greater attachment to them because the trains have human-like qualities.

>>208977

Because adult model trains are just objects, not characters. It's similar to how bronies aren't largely interested in raising or riding real horses. They're into the franchise for childish colorful characters more than the subject matter

>>205830

TheNewStoryteller vs Ulillillia

Which one is more based?

Im going with ulillillia

>>209499

>Ulillillia

Just looked this guy up on ED. He seems pretty crazy but holy shit he seems smart as fuck. Hell, he's done stuff like a map of Wal-Mart that plans put the exact path he goes to avoid mirrors. Weird, but neat.

i feel like the only autist in the world who doesn't have an obsession with thomas the tank engine, and trains in general. what is it about autism and trains?

>>208977

>stand what keeps these people from upgrading to actual model trains and creating sets. I guarantee that they, as adults, would have a far funner time with those.

I honestly agree with that statement. Heck even a few model train companies, Lionel and Bachmann to be exact, make Thomas themed train sets. I honestly don't know why they wouldn't want to invest their money into a product like that. Maybe because they don't want to grow up or they are most likely cheap bastard who don't want to spend their money on something that they love which won't make them look like a target for trolls.

I will admit that I personally hate this fanbase, however, I have seen users who make nothing but thomas videos with nothing but actual model trains on decent layouts, not that cheap plastic TOMY junk that half of the fanbase seems to have a throbbing erection for.

Honestly those are some of the few types Thomas fans I don't have a problem with.

Happy Valentine's Day /cow/.

>>203517

>calls autistic Thomas the Tank Engine fans "tankies"

Hate to break it to you, OP, but "tankies" is already taken by /leftypol/. It's a dismissive term for Stalinists.

You're basically associating an autistic fanbase with a totalitarian dictatorship. Is that what you want?

>>256052

If anything is autistic here it's you. Nobody gives a fuck what leftypol has "claimed" and you're the one making the association, not OP.

>>218273

This has been mentioned many times before: trains are essentially interchangable multicolored boxes. Easy to get creative with them, low hanging fruit for people who don't have good creative abilities (ie people with autism).

>>256056

I feel your pain.

>>256052

>>259343

'Tankie' is specifically a term for the kind of mindless contrarian who supports literally anything that opposes the USA (and they're usually American themselves), whether it's Stalin, Saddam, Assad, Putin, Kim-Jong, Gaddafi, etc etc etc. Usually found making screeds against the USA's war crimes to excuse even worse war crimes and being one of the few groups that demonises all US presidents more or less equally.

They're basically a category of cows unto themselves, best not to confuse them.

>>259396

So basically ADF/Ahuviya Harel?

I'm trying to remember something I saw almost 2 years ago. Some guy kept taking crops from the original Thomas show and made some UNHOLY SERIES of videos that was a crossover of Thomas, pokemon, and some OC shit he drew in MSPaint. Said MSpaint monstrosities had comically huge "breasts" that looked like they merged with their shoulders, fyi

It wasn't so much animation as it was a slideshow with him reading a script

In the meantime here's something moderately autistic

>>259622

fuck forgot the link

https://www.youtube.com/user/missoliverandblossom/videos

>>259412

Probably.

'Tankie' is specifically often used as an insult by actual socialists and general leftists who recognise these people are worse than useless. (not to confuse leftists with liberals, limp-dicked centrists and wokes, who are even more counterproductive)

kek this is good m8
