my personally theory is that the pineapple was his real dad. Tom's hair is pineapple shaped, making me think that once Tom was born Walter noticed he looked nothing like the baby, and left the family. The bowling ball found Pete and decided Tom should be with his real father. Do I think the Eddsworld team had any of this in mind? Absolutely not. I 100% know this isn't the real reason, but it's more like a headcanon or something to me :)
I Think Walter is The Real parent. Since In Beaster Bunny, Tom says “ You’ve found my real parents! “ And Fun Dead was after the events of I ((forgot the name but the swimming episode with the watermelon :skull: :skull:)) Personally, Walter Could have left sure, but in reality, Pete is the StepFather, Thats why Tom had said “ *Father!* I will avenge you! “
Honestly, I myself am going to consider this idea: Generalization: Tom's OG Dad (William the Watermelon) genetically birthed Tom with The Bowling Ball Mother. However yes, William was a terrible drunkard, and eventually just left the family due to his terrible alcoholic problems, most likely having been kicked out by the Bowling Ball. Over the years, The Bowling Ball married The Pineapple (Pete the Pineapple) and Pete became said father. Just not genetically. Oh and yes, I know the official name of said Watermelon is Walter, but I just think William is a better name in general grammar. Personal opinions. Oh and yeah, Matt gave guns to the bears again. Shameful.
Not the throw a spanner in the works here but in Edd’s last sketchbook, he explained it with the opening scene to... WTFuture 2. Well, enjoy trying to pick that apart.
My assumption is that the initial joke was "haha Tom's dad is a fruit with glasses." But when making Fun Dead, they decided to flesh the joke out further, making the fruit a pineapple to match the joke about Tom's character design.
Was going to upload this Christmas Day, but then I decided to just drop it today. As is tradition at this point, I might change the thumbnail in the near future (already had one in mind and had no idea which one to go with. Merry Christmas all, keep being nice to each other, and I’ll see you guys in the new year
The watermelon was a terrible drunk and walked out on his family. pineapple came in picked up the pieces and raised Tom like he was his own son. Tom doesn't consider watermelon his true father and has no contact with him. Bowling ball mother currently lives on her own but occasionally visits her son
This is my theory: The watermelon is the original father/godfather. If the watermelon was the father maybe he could have fell and splatted or had a heart attack. After that, the pineapple would have had to take care of Tom after watermelons death 2nd Henry in which the watermelon is The Godfather: pineapple was sick or injured so he couldn’t meet Tom at the bed. So then watermelon, The Godfather, wanted to support bowling ball since pineapple isn’t there. Then pineapple dies by the hands of the bears and watermelon has to take care of Tom now, of course we don’t see that part.
i honestly feel like his parents were actually humans but he couldn't bear the trauma of seeing his father's head explode so he imagines his mother as a bowling ball and his father as different fruits. it's like a response from the brain towards trauma, sometimes they don't remember at all, sometimes they remember it very vividly.
about the theory, it's just edited reality because of traumatic moments... I can actually tell you it can't be disproven. Most people will think that it can't be because Matt's flashback also features pineapple dad, which means his parents were actual objects but Matt had a flashback about losing his memory in the end and Tom maybe told him that it was true or something like that. I don't know maybe there was a war between objects and humans and humans won and that's why no more objects are alive or something.
@@TheTomeeBear how about this Pete is his biological father but before Tom was born him and tom’s mom got a divorce then she got in a relationship with Walter and then got married and then Tom was allowed to visit Pete during the weekends
In Eddsworld - The Beaster Bunny was a recent eddisode, that in the beginning Edd had Tom in a blind fold to show him a surprise which was them going to an Annual Easter egg hunt to which Tom had thought that Edd found his real parents. So what I'm thinking is that the watermelon/pineapple and the bowling ball is not Toms real parents which goes with theory that Tom made himself create them as an excuse to a "dark" past to which they actually died. BUT in the end this is just a theory and isn't really important.
But it show it you can see Tom as a baby and the fruit But what if Tom's mum/bowling ball died after birth and while his dad/pineapple died while looking after him and then after he got different parents But he still believed that has parents are still alieve
7:22 I actually spotted an easteregg in this Eddisode. For those who haven't, if you look at the buttons on the panel you can see 3 buttons that have the color of Edd, Matt and Tom's hoodies along with their first letters of their name. Edit: As for the theories, my personal theory is just that fruits are both meant as a joke and at the same time also Tom's way of imagining real people so it hurts him less to think about. Inanimate objects wouldn't give birth to an human being and despite EddsWorld sometimes being very silly and breaking the law of physics or such (that's just how cartoons work), it does have some logic to support this.
Tom is pretty cool, Maybe he's just trying to forget.. Think about it. He seemed so happy in those pictures. Maybe he is like he is now because of trama?
theory: your right, tom's "dad" is not a fruit. its his imagination keeping him sane. but the reason there are two: there was a divorce and tom knew that would sting as much as the rest of his life, so he just changed the fruit. but honestly idk
I’ve paid attention to Matt’s mum saying, “Matt, did you give guns to the bears *again?* “ What if Tom’s watermelon father was killed in a previous bear-gun incident?
My personal theory is that the watermelon is the doctor who helped Tom's mom give birth. The pineapple may of already had kids with the bowling ball and had to stay home to look after the other kids. Tom (as in the Eddsworld Universe) may have siblings, they are just not shown in the show. The watermelon was probably just the doctor, and the pineapple was probably not there to experience the birth.
I think that Pete(the pineapple) is Tom's real dad,but couldn't witness his wife giving birth because he was at work. And Walter(the watermelon) noticed that Barbara(I gave the bowling ball that name teehee) is giving birth so he drive to the nearest hospital so Tom can be born, Walter may just be relative or a friend.
Personably I believe this was an animation error, sometimes I get pineapples and watermelons confused with each other, I don’t know why but I do so maybe the same thing happened to Edd. However from a lore perspective maybe they could explain it away by saying that it’s a polygamous marriage with two dads and one mom.
Ok, so here is my theory. As you know, if you have two fathers in love, they could always want to have a child but be unable too. But there is a process where you can ask someone and pay them to carry the baby. So my theory is that while the bowling ball is his mother, he lived with his two fathers. So there is my guess.
Theory: The fruits may just be the way that Tom remember his parents, again it has been awhile and he was a child when we see his parents…so the fruits may be just how he thinks of how his parents look like.
I do have a shot in the dark theory. The bowling ball was the mother, although. Walter and bowling ball divorced and Walter marries Pete. Think, we never see bowling ball ever again. Yet the we always see a father figure. I wish we could've asked Tom before he left.(And this can still show baby Tom and the Ending of the End because the parents may have shared custody.)
my theory os that they ARE the same person. "walter" is toms dad bust without hair becuase he was going through chemo for lets say cancer. This could be linked becuase tom gets cancer down the line as he said in WTFuture, he said the lazer to the eyes was what cuased it, he couldve had a higher chance of developing cancer becuase of a family member having cancer. his dad then later survived his cancer and his hair started to grow into its normal spiky form. this would then have him have to alter what fruit he is, this could also be a indicator of their relationship or his personality, from mabey watery or weak to stronger and protective duse to the outer layer and innards if both fruit. his hair definitley grew back in that gap of time. Wich is why i belive his dad is not only a watermelon. But a pinaple. what do you think? Any good?
I just had a theory pop into my head when I was watching fun dead again and here it is At the beginning we see the little strip where Tom’s father dies, but The one question I had was where did Matt get the gun from. I mean who would give a child a gun. So, with my conclusion Tord likes guns so Tord gave Matt the gun, then Matt gave the gun to the bear, then the bear shot Tom’s dad. So technically this is all Tord‘s fault BOOOM
the watermelon was his real father. his parents, in the second flashback, are nowhere to be found. no walter, no mother. why no mother? why is a child alone?? pineapples are a codeword for LSD. Tom's parents are nowhere to be found and he is turning to "pineapples" but matt stops this, whether by accident or on purpose.
I have a theory now, I think Tom couldn't remember exactly how his parents looked so he thought of the closest things to their looks. Like at first he thought of his father as a watermelon,then he noticed that his father had spiky hair so he thought of him as a pineapple afterwards. (I am sorry if this doesn't make sense cause of my grammer) One thing that bothers me is the episode blaster bunny the part that Tom asks Edd whether he found his real parents.
Don't forget that Fun dead was aa part of the legacy era, the most logical awnser is just that tom prob thought that a pinaple made more sense than a watermelon
I have a lil theory: in the newest episode, The Beaster Bunny, at the start, Tom asks "You found my real parents?" That might mean that the Pineapple, nor the Bowling ball, nor the Watermelon could be his real parents
Theory In fun dead Matt's mum said "did you give gun to the bears again?" She said "again" so that means it happened twice or more so tom first dad(the watermelon)was killed by bears with guns and the pineapple was his step father who was also killed by bears with guns So reason why we don't see them anymore cuz they're dead But hey it's just a theory
Tom “father” (fun dead): Tom seems to have a more consistent portrayal throughout his appearances. Tom is generally portrayed as cynical, pessimistic, and cold. Tom can be smart or stupid depending on the situation. Tom does not usually get along with others such as Matt or Tord, and does not enjoy Christmas. Tom is addicted to alcohol, particularly Smirnoff, and cares deeply for a bass guitar (which Tom calls Susan). Tom's Parents: In "Fun Dead", Tom's "mother" was a bowling ball and Tom's "father" was a pineapple, explaining the lack of eyes and spiky hair. In a flashback in "25ft Under the Seat", Tom's "father" was drawn as a watermelon. Edd did not know how to draw a pineapple so the watermelon was the mistake so the pineapple is actually his father so the water melon might be the step father wait wait wait wait why is toms parents objects maybe he forgot what his parents look like toms mom: straight light brown hair normal eyes blue dress toms true dad: with glasses black eyes yellow shirt grey pants light brown hair toms step dad: with glasses normal eyes dark blue pants green shirt bald hair
I think that Tom's father died after impregnating his mother, his mother died in delivery, Tom was born with a birth defect, and the doctor put these inanimate objects next to the bed when he was born to replace his "parents", and then Tom grew attached to them, obviously thinking they were his real parents. This means that Tom would have legal parents but effectively be an orphan. So, I think that's what happened here, because that would explain a lot of his characterization of being depressed and angsty, and why the bowling ball would still be around. Once he grew older, he realized that the bowling ball he brought around with him wasn't actually sentient and that hurt him mentally just like his father getting blown up by the shotgun-wielding bear did when he was younger. Then his prom date being a coconut would be for the reason that nobody wanted to be around him anyway (either because of his personality or that he brought a bowling ball in place of a person as his mother to parent-teacher conferences) so he brought an inanimate object to prom with him, probably thinking it was also sentient since he would already be prone to believing that because of the circumstances of his birth. That's at least my headcanon.
My outlandish head cannon is that Tom's memories were fabricated by the Red Army because they knew he was powerful in some way, and they contained him for the entirety of his childhood. Tord came back to monitor Tom's behavior and was studying how he acted. Edd and Matt are his friends that aren't aware of the truth and might just be clones.
Maybe when tom was a child who didn't have any parents so he made a back alley deal to have parents and all of his lonely memories have parents in it for the deal to live with a demon and the reason why the dad is varying is that he was younger and don't actually reamber what happened so it can't work probably
Okok a little offtopic but u should rewatch hammer & fail, go fastforeard to the end and see that when tom is on the bed listening to matt screaming and crashing noises he says "Ugh! i tough i was done with this when i left my parents house" was his father abusive? orr??.....
Edit: I just finished the video and this theory was in it lmao Theory, the pineapple being a stepfather is true, but his dad, stepdad, and mother all died in tragedies somehow relating to the objects they're seen as. The reason he believes they are those objects is because they died while he was so young, his brain altered the memories to protect him from the full trauma of the stepfather's blatant death. Matt and his mom were just used to such scenery because of Matt's dangerous habit of giving bears shotguns.
My theory is: In hammer and fail eddisode when Matt screams " Not again AAAH!" (because he was attacked by a poltergeist) Tom says: "I thought I was done with this when I moved out of my parents house" implying that maybe watermelon dad was divorced with his mom the bowling ball and was merried to pineapple until Tom's beloved pineapple step dad was killed by a bear wich traumatised Tom because his step-dad was loving and caring towards him. After pineapple dads death watermelon dad returned and he was an abusive alcoholic. Watermelon would abuse his bowling ball wife and Tom because he was an alcoholic a trait that Tom picked up later in his life. When Tom got older domestic abuse was so frequent in his family that he had to escape to find peace and this is when he decided to move in with Edd. But hey that's just a theory an Eddsworld theory.
have you ever wondered, maybe Tom imagined his father as two different fruits because he'd forgotten what his dad looked like? his dad may have been actually a watermelon, but he later forgot, and saw him as a pineapple instead
My personal theory is that Tom’s actual parents were absent most of his childhood, so he assigned the roles of ‘mum’ and ‘dad’ to random objects he had, and he chose a bowling ball because it resembled his eyes, and originally he had a watermelon but it rotted or was eaten and had to be replaced. Plus, in Beaster Bunny Tom says something about looking for his real parents.
the theory about any of the inanimate objects not actually being Tom’s parents and prom date actually makes sense because in the Eddisode “Beaster Bunny”, Tom says, “You found my REAL parents!”
Maybe the pineapple divorced the bowling ball before tom was born or the other way around so she remarried to the watermelon and tom was visiting his pineapple dad at that time. Having my mom and dad separate when I was just 1 year old, I have visited him before.
It's simple, Walter passed away after Tom's birth then Pete became his stepdad before Tom could remember anything and his parents never told him that's why he shouts ''father!'' because he thinks Pete is his father and the spiky hair maybe because he had long hair and he just changed it. Another one is, Tom's mum had an affair with Pete and Walter didn't notice than when Walter realised the baby wasn't his he left Tom's mum and Pete came into the family
Tbh I think that Tom was actually abandoned by his parents when he was born and his parents left the pineapple, watermelon and bowling ball to take care of him
Tom may realy not remember his parents, but the pineapple and the ball are just something left of his parents ’memory (or no?). And the watermelon was his grandfather, also from the rest of his memory. And (not sure), but Tom may have black eyes because he got sick of something strange at birth.
I have a theory about Tom's dad, and it may sound far fetched but comparing it to the world of eddsworld it doesn't sound that bad. ok so, Tom's Dad, Walter, is like a pokemon, he evolved into a Pineapple somewhere between Tom's birth and his dad's death. and now that i think of it, evolution could have worked for Tom's mom, only in reverse, sort of. i think Tom's mom is just a normal bowling ball now the after she devolved(?) from a living bowling ball. so Walter evolving into Pete could explain why Tom has his hair like it is, genes that were passed on. in conclusion, Walter is a Pokemon and evolved into a Pineapple. Hope this makes sense
4:34 :D this face was the same in episode beaster bunny when Tom says:You found my real parents!? and he can not remember his parents or parents left him and as child the bowling ball was his mom then watermelon his dad but gets old and you know...its not get to be eaten then he created pineaplle as his step-father
I still have the opinion that watermelon and pineapple the same person. And that is why: my theory is that his parents are true people, but he remembers them like fruit and ball because of his association. When Tom was born his dad never had a haircut, but wore green outfit, so he looked like a watermelon, but some time later he changed his style and started wearing yellow, and had his hair similar to Tom’s hair at the moment, so he associated him a as a pineapple. His mum has Black eyes, just like Tom, and wears blue outfit, so he associated her with bowling ball. It’s just my theory, nothing more.
I think because matts mom said “did you give the bear a shotgun AGAIN?” Maybe matt gave the bear a shotgun and it killed walter,then matt gave it again,and it killed pete. That supports how matt can be violent when he wants to
Ok well as you said you don’t care about this theory anymore, but I’m still gonna make this comment because I’m bored af :/ what if when Tom was born, and Pete , (the pineapple) was away at his job or in a traffic jam, and couldn’t even be there for his son being born. Now, that’s most unlikely, but not once in the show, has it ever said that Walter (The watermelon) was the father. Though Tom has called Pete his father. Basically Pete was stuck and couldn’t be there for Tom, and asked Walter to get to the hospital to make sure that Tom and his mom was okay. Anyway love your content, keep the amazing work! :D
Theory: The bowling bowl and watermelon left him as a kid, so the pineapple was a foster parent. Evidence: Toms quote from blaster bunny, "You found my real parents?" And toms quote from hammer and fail, "Why did you leave? WHYYYYYYYY?!?!?"
Also, in hammer and fail, on episode 2,tom cries on the phone "why did you leave? Why?!" So mabye the father had left them, the mom then remarried, then the father had... Well died. But your theory (VI, the had to change the character to keep myself sane) is also good. (sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language and I'm new to the eddsworld "fan base") Anyway, have a great day everybody!!
🎸To🪕 Don't worry Tom, Susan will come back and it will be happily ever after Just saying, the other guitar(bango) is OK with just being buds. (official eddsworld comic reference)
I bet there are gonna be a million comments about this, but In the Beaster bunny Eddisode there's a line of Tom saying something along the lines of, "You found my REAL parents!" So maybe that trauma theory is not to far off from the answer.
How about this: Tom's parents are both ghosts. They were possessing inanimate objects shortly after his birth. Later, his dad possessed a pineapple and was killed(?) by a bear. His mother eventually possessed something other than a bowling ball, and Tom kept the bowling ball. It got around and ended up in Matt's room in Hammer and Fail part 1. After the events of Hammer and Fail, Tom reclaimed the bowling ball and put it on a shelf, where we see it in The End.
Tomee Bear: There is no evidence that implies that the Walter and Pete are 2 different characters. Me after watching the newest episode: QUICK! SOMEONE HIDE THE BEASTER BUNNY!!!
I think I know the truth, Tom was born then one of the doctors put objects next to him because he was left behind, furthermore Tom raised himself (if that makes sense) and obviously at one point the watermelon got moldy so he replaced it with a pineapple, when the bear shot his “father” It made Tom realise that his parents are objects, forever scaring him
I think I might know how to explain this, in the episode beaster bunny Tom says “you found my real parents” so maybe he lost his parents when he was really young and doesn’t remember what they look like so whenever he thinks of them, he sees them as random objects.
theory: walter and pete were tom’s 2 dads and in that flashback, the bowling ball was just some random lady trying to eat the baby and walter is trying to keep his baby from being eaten while pete stands off-camera uselessly
my opinion : i can fully agree that tom's mom is a bowling ball since they both have blank black eyes but i do also agree that tom's dad is a pineapple bc they both have spikey hair my theory : about tom's watermelon dad on 25 ft under the seat (im not sure if this is the correct episode im talking about), i think its just an old choice they made, i think they just changed the idea into a pineapple so it would make more sense
"you found my real parents!" in beaster bunny could explain that his mom and dad abandoned him while he was a kid and he replaced his memories with a bowling ball and a watermelon later making the father figure a pineapple
