[Eddsworld] Tom's Parents Explained - Pineapple Vs Watermelon 

*here's my explanation:* The Pineapple is his real father, always has been, he and the mom got a divorce after she got "pregnant" with tom. she started dating, looking for a father figure for her yet to be born child, and found the watermelon. because the watermelon was the parental figure at the time of his birth, he signed the birth papers, becoming Tom's "Birth certificate father" while his biological father is the divorced pineapple. legally, Tom can visit his biological dad, so during the Fundead flashback, Tom was visiting him, and ended up witnessing his death, leaving him with his alive, Birth Certificate dad to take care of him the rest of his time living with them

"The bowling ball is implied to be his mother with the pearl necklace." Yeah nevermind the fact that she's the one in the hospital bed holding the baby, the necklace is what's really important.

“A flashback every now and then” Don’t you mean… “FLAAAAAASHBAAAAAAACK”

Possibly Tom is an orphan, but never gets parents, and “makes” parents, or Tom could be hallucinating, OR these are regular mom and dad, but he remembers them as fruits?

Tom definitely has SOMETHING to do with pineapples. I mean, where do you think the "Suddenly, pineapples" bit of asdf movie came from?!

Tom X Coconut for life.

Plot twist: the melon shedded his skin and underneath the watermelon skin was a pineapple.

Thoery: He forgot what his parents look like so he thinks that his parents are objects

I never questioned this, I just assumed his parents were a bowling ball and pineapple ;-;

Theory: Tom's mom and dad died once he was born, and the doctors replaced them with objects that either looked like them or gave a reason for his eyes and hair. Because he was a baby, it's what he believed for all his life

That picture of Tom crying at 2:02 gets me every time. IDK why, it’s just so heartbreaking :(

Theory: His Dad Is The Pineapple, His Mom Is The Bowling Ball, And The Melon Is His Grandpa (The Dad Held The Camera) Edit: It Came To My Attention That Some People Said That Tom Said Daddy When The Pineapple Got Shot... But I Don't Know Cause I Didn't Watch It Yet.

5:42 pretty reasonable response.

An Eddsworld video? In my 2019? It’s more likely than you think.

When you said none of Matt’s parents have been seen. A glimpse of his mom was seen in fun dead while Matt and Tom where having childhood memories

Wait! In the bear with the gun scene, I think that lady who told Max "it was ok" to give guns to a bear I think she might be the mom and Matt and Tom are somehow siblings and the pineapple could be considered "A stepdad" And on that one video where edd tom and matt makes more room in their house (I forgot the video name) in part two there was a scene that shows us flashbacks of part 1 but additionally adds TOM crying over the phone saying "Why did you leave? WHYYYYY" which could possibly mean that the woman "or so-called mom" is a toxic parent and the watermelon is, in fact, THE DAD.

Plot twist, Tom is a pineapple/bowling ball human-hybrid

Theory: Tom was adopted by possessed fruit. Or just the Eddsworld crew doesn’t want us to see his parents just yet so the just used the fruit as a place holder.

He inherited this peculiar trait from a bowling ball (considered Tom's "mother"). ... Tom meant for them to be fully black eyes which were caused by the counterpart being possessed by a demon that would take control of Tom's body in moments of extreme anger.

Theory: Tom Forgot What His Parents Look Liked so he imagined them as objects So Dad: Spiky Hair/ Black Eyes Mother: Black Eyes/ Long Straight Hair (THIS IS A THEORY, THIS MAY NOT BE TRUE

maybe mr pineapple died and mrs bowling ball married mr watermelon edit: or its reversed Edit2: what 768 likes thats the most ive ever gotten

Plot twist: The pineapple, the melon and the bowling ball made a trio.

The thing is Tom didn't have eyes So he didn't see his parents So the mother and father are just.. a joke Edit: Jesus... Yeah guys I know that he has eyes, I know he can see And yeah I have watched eddsworld before All I wanted to do was to put some thought in your heads But instead I'm reminded.. that "he has eyes they're just black" And get called dumb Heh Please don't ever comment on some guy toxicly because he said something you don't agree with That's just dumb

plot twist: The pineapple is Tom's step father.

I thought the watermelon was the doctor or the parent of the bowling ball

His mom's a bowling ball, his _grandpa's_ a watermelon; his _dad_ is a pineapple and was _also_ holding the camera.

Tom lost his parents and he is say like a prize "do you find my parents?"

Theory: Tom's parents are a human and demon and they abandoned Tom or Tom got mixed up between the bowling balls child and the demons child. Theres no evidence to back this up but it's a theory Edit: people still read this?

Edd: shot I couldn't draw a friggin pineapple.I'll draw a watermelon instead. The animators of fun dead: ok well it's a pineapple right? The fans: holy cow we need to write/animate/whatever a really edgy backstory for Tom.

the perfect explanation: tom's mum, the bowling ball, was with the watermelon, but cheated on him with the pineapple. after finding out, the watermelon left tom's mum and she was forced to be with the pineapple instead. boom.

They aren’t his parents because in beast bunny he says “You found my real parents?”

My head cannon is that Tom’s parents being inanimate objects is symbolic. The mother was probably a famous bowler with a birth disorder that made her have hollow eyes, and the dad was some weird watermelon-loving guy at first, but then switched to loving pineapples.

Oh his dad is def a pineapple because "Suddenly pineapples"

Im crazy over Tom, Hes the best

Am I the only person who remembers when Tom asked "You know what happened to my real parents?!" Tom clearly remembers the pineapple and bowling ball well, so maybe his parents aren't these inanimate objects?

Scientists: I’ve been spending my whole career trying to figure out the cure for cancer. The tomee bear: hold my beer.... *makes this video* Scientists: *small brain*

waiiit maybe THE BOWLING BALL CHEATED ON THE WATER MELON WITH MR. PINEAPPLE

Theory: toms black eyes are actually his eyebrows bc everytime his eyes are drawn then you can see his eyebrows

Theory: either the watermelon is a doctor, OR the pineapple is a different one of Tom’s relative

What if Tom's parents aren't even what we see here? What if he was an orphan, cuz he was born with Black Eyes, and his biological parents didnt like that. And since he was living in an orphanage, surrounded by bullies, he decided to run away with a bowling ball and a pineapple and pretended that they are his parents. He may have developed a but of love and compassion for the objects, and when the pineapple got shot (thx, younger Matt...), then it disturbed Tom enough to traumatize him, and now he takes out that anger with his Smirnoff (and he used to take the anger out on Tord, before he left {hence the hatred...}

"Who actually cares?" Too late to say that after all the time you spent on researching this. It's okay to admit you went crazy trying to find an answer since you already proven that you care very much

1:22 I remember watching this over and over again back than because of the music coupled with the visual which is really nice. I think this is what got me more interested into the ocean

Theory: Tom is Thinking his parents are Objects to hide his trauma of his (uncle, Grandfather, idk) Pineapple being murdered by some bear (actually Human) And his parents abandoning him... =( sad

The real answer was probably just "it was funnier in that moment" and neither edd, nor anyone else on the team really put as much thought into it as we did

Uh I can draw dragons and all sorts of crap but I can’t draw a pineapple either I thought it as an artist struggle I still there something wrong with me??? *HELP???!!!*

And 'now' we have the line from Tom "You found my real parents?!", now it's even more complicated. TwT

And now, in 2022, Tom seems horrified during the watermelon-eating competition. Can't they just decide 😭

The Watermelon could have been a relative of Pineapple. Making the Watermelon’s Tom’s Uncle.

I love how you made a whole theory about this 😂

This hits different because of The Beaster Bunny episode. When Tom says to Edd “You found my real parents!” Meaning that he knows the bowling ball and Watermelon/Pineapple aren’t his biological parents

Tom's dad: pineapple Tom's mom: Bowling ball Tom's grandpa: Melon Tom's Granny: Pickles Tom's uncle: Corn

here´s my theory: as seen in the moment Tom´s life was flashing before his eyes, when he was a newborn baby his eyes were already black, so, what if he was born with no eyes for some reason and he couldn´t really see how his parents looked like, and that´s just how he imagined them, and the dad changed from an watermelon to a pinapple bc he remebered it in different ways?

That feeling when your family tree is a literal tree. EDIT: I Don't know why my nine month old comment is suddenly blowing up but I'm loving it.

Theory, Tom got his spiky hair from someone else in the family, since genes are respondent from other heritage as well, and his actual dad is a melon and he probably left or Tom was abandoned by his family, and he found a pineapple as his adopted dad

Maybe the pineapple is a step father, “ I thought I was done with this when I left my parents house!” Screaming. Think about it.

The bowling-ball cheated on the watermelon, and then the watermelon left the bowling-ball, then the pineapple *(who is the real father)* shows up and then they live happily ever after!

inb4 mum vs mom comments

Lv ur vids!

Love the Srtanger Things music and Tom is one of the best characters 😸😻⭐️❤️ and good video dude I Didn’ t know 😸

My theory: After pineapple was shot, watermelon became stepdad. Ma bolling ball was cheating on pa

Maybe the Dad is a strange creature that could transform into any fruit.

In beaster bunny Tom says “You found my real parents?!” This implies that Tom actually has a real family that we don’t know about.

Bro Tom got actualy possesed at his birth since in the Halloween song he said "you cant posses something twice."

Ok, so i just thought of something. In an interview TomSka (Tom) did a while ago he said his character was 'possesed' (it also mentions that in trick or threat). What if, when Tom was possesed it gave him a sort of amnesia (or something like that) and it bassicly changed his memories? Edit: while writing this i thought of another one; What if Tom was traumatized after seeing his dad get shot by a bear, so he just remembered the part where his dad was a pinneapple incorrectly? This is just something that COULD of happened. Not saying DID

y'all are all giving theories and correcting him .. BUT DO YOU REALIZE HE WENT TO PAGE 2 OF GOOGLE AND SURVIVED

I wasn't expecting to start the video and hear the theme song from Stanger things to play but this is a mystery so yea, it makes sence

Theory: Tom's Mother is a Bowling ball and his Father Is a coconut, Think about it, if they showed a picture of a coconut, That’s pretty much a hint? Explains his brownish coconut colour Hair, the pine-apple was his grandpa because of his spikey hair, And finally, bowling ball as the mother because of the eyes, it makes Sense if you think about it-

OH MY GOD- SIDNEY RICHARDSON IS ME- I WAS PUT INTO YOUR VIDEO- OH GODDD- sidney richardson is my other youtube account-

Theory: The bowling ball, and watermelon divorced when Tom was little, and the Pineapple is his step-dad, so Tom considers him as his father since the watermelon left when he was small. Anyone agree?

Plot twist: His father is the watermelon, but Tom’s mom either got a divorce or the watermelon died, and married a pineapple.

Fnaf fandom: arguing about the lore Fnf fandom: arguing about boyfriends name Eddsworld fandom: arguing about toms parents

Actually,we got to see matt parents in a comic,where is revealed that they have pointy chins,but the doctor accidentaly drops matt on the floor when he was a baby,so his chin is now square

"First there was a watermelon, then a pineapple, and now you're bringing a coconut into this mess?!" *Grabs bowling ball and shakes it* "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN?!"

Theory: Bowling Ball:mom Pineapple:dad Tom:son Twitter's coconut:grandma WaterMelon:grandpa

The profile picture of this channel 4:54

Video: WHO ACTUALLY CARES? Me: You. You made an entire video about this.

The pinaple might of just been a dream rather than a memory

Can we talk about the 3rd memorie in the flash back of Tom drinking vodka

Maybe it’s just one of those moments where you don’t think much of it and keep changing your characters backstories because well- you keep thinking of new ones- (talking about toms parents)

Ok here is my theory: The watermelon was a doctor and the pineapple was at work. Ok so, new theory. The mom cheated on the watermelon who was her husband with the pineapple. The watermelon found out and left. Then the pineapple became his new father.

Poor tom's familly😢

"a rabbit hole you never knew existed." That's a "hidden-hole'

WAIT tord is giving the board a very suspicious look in the PowerEdd Flashback.. Was he evil then?

I have a theory: The watermelon is the dad but got a divorce so the pineapple is the step dad

When I got to the part about him trying to find a source for Edd not being able to draw a pineapple, I thought "Why doesn't he just ask him" and then I realized that he can't...

You can actually hear at the end of "The End Part 2" that Tom, when asked why his eyes are black, you can hear that he says: "Well, it all started when I inherited my mom's..."

Here's my theory. Tom's father was the water Mellon and his mother was the bowling ball. One day ( I will call him sir melon ) died or got seriously injured somehow. After he passed away Tom kept his Glass's. Later the bowling ball got married to the pineapple and eventually Tom accepted that his dad was now a pineapple and gave the Glass's to him as a way to say that Tom accepts the fact the pineapple was now his dad. The pineapple wore the Glass's every day to say that he's happy with his step son and was proud of him. Then one day they go fishing and I'm sure you know the rest with the bear. That's my theory

i have a theory the watermelon is toms real dad but died and the pineapple is his stepdad

Is it bad I only clicked on this because the thumbnail has a drawing of Tom I did forever ago?

In the easter when edd says he was going to give him a good surprise tom Said: *My real parents?*

Maybe he was a watermelon a 1st because they didn't realize at the time that a pinapple would make a good joke for his design of spikey hair, the way his mom does the same with his eyes. Maybe they didn't get the idea for that until after the 25ft. under the seat. So maybe they thought Tom got his black voids for eyes from his bowling ball mom's finger holes and a pineapple would make a good joke for his hair. So maybe it was just an idea that came too late after the episode was made. (Just a guess I'm just guessing)

Tom is one of my favorite characters in EddsWorld

Normal people at 3:00 AM: They sleep. Me: ...

One of the lines I heard in a best of Tom video was Tom asking if Edd had found his real parents.

After rewatching Fundead in 2022, I realized that Tom's pupils are just extremely dialaited

5:43 I laughed so hard I can’t even hear my laugh

Maybe, just MAYBE... Tom's dad died and then the pineapple was his stepdad. Possibly a relative but i don't think so. Other people say that the pineapple was his father and the watermelon took his place but 25ft under the seat is very earlier than Fun Dead. But, that's just my theory. A GAME THE-

We all know he was desperate when he searched past the first page of google

idea. the melon is the grandpa and grandma is a artichoke because of the spikes. (on his dads side) and then married the bowling ball in which gave him spiky hair and black eyes. his dad was shot in fun dead and he has hated matt every since. (that last part about his hate for matt could use some more evidence)

Everyone's saying their theories, so here I go: I think that Tom's REAL dad is the pineapple, but maybe she cheated on her husband (The watermelon), but then the watermelon found out and divorced her and then she remarried and Tom thinks that his dad was a pineapple. But that's just a theory... A THEORY
