Push Me, Pull You: The WORST Skarloey Episode 

OH NO! AN INCOMING RUNAWAY TRAIN! I BETTER STOP! -Rusty's braincells during this episode

1:33 "Replaced with this wimpy little ass-" Got me rolling on the floor lmao

Skarloey: (to Sharon Miller) WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!

Forget the worst Skarloey episode, this might be one of if not the WORST episode of the show

Skarloey was messed up read time in the HiT era, but Push Me Pull You really struck him down! The only two examples where he is in character in said-era were Magic Lamp and Wash Behind Your Buffers.

"A lake in the woods and beautiful waterfalls" - I see what you did there.

the fact this is the last model series skarloey railway episode is sickening.

Skarloey upon seeing what HiT did to his character in Seasons 9-12: WHAT DID YOU DO!?

3:24 fun fact this is the only accident duncan has been in that wasn’t his fault.

In s5, s6, s7, and the HIT era, the Skarloey line also has many different locations that aren’t based on the Talyllyn.

Skarloey then repents for his sins

Rheneas: Rheneas and the Dinosaur Sir Handel: Sir Handel in Charge Peter Sam: Mountain Marvel Rusty: Tuneful Toots Duncan: Duncan Does it All Duke: doesn't have a bad episode

5:40 sir Handel has some character development, I gotta admit.

For your question regarding rolling stock made to transport ice cream, there are refrigerated boxcars/vans built to carry perishable items like fruit, meat, etc., so ice cream being transported by train isn't really one of those far-fetched ideas the writers from that era came up with. What's strange about ice cream being transported in the Thomas & Friends show is they have ice cream vans shown in episodes before, such as "Too Hot for Thomas". I know the modelers have never made ice cream vans for the narrow gauge engines, but still, they would've use refrigerated vans instead of flatbeds to carry the ice cream.

"Skarloey the Brave" is my personal least favourite Skarloey episode, but God, this one looks absolutely terrible! I never saw it, but why does Skarloey have to be so stuck-up and stupid, to play tug-of-war with Rheneas, when he's supposed to get on well with his brother and do his job? 🤦‍♂️ Definitely his second worst role and my second least favourite episode from series 12.

Season 12 could have been a highly impressive and memorable hybrid season. It could have worked. But due to factors like Sharon Miller it never did. And became one of the series’s worsts (I also had the Trackmaster Skarloey’s Puppet Show Special set, completely unaware at the time that the episode was horrible. Or even existed.)

2:51 Naw if you look closely at just about any scene that gives a good view of the inside to the narrow gauge engines' cabs in all of their appearances throughout the HiT era, it's easy to notice that there's no drivers in them whatsoever. Even though the standard gauge engines were most certainly under their own control throughout the entirety of this era, they at least had drivers present and acknowledged some of the time. In all fairness though, I don't mind the engines having control over themselves as that was a problem that even the first few seasons had where the drivers weren't fully in control of them, and it does better excuse the narrow gauge engines' stupid decisions throughout this series. However, even if they're not questioning what their engines are doing most of the time, I do prefer it for when the drivers are present. The only exceptions I can give to this rule are most of the road vehicles like Kevin and the pack, the sentient cranes, and probably Diesel 10.

I totally agree with you 100% that this is Skarloey's worst episode in the whole series. But in defense of the HIT era, there may have been one or two times where Skarloey was actually protrayed in character, like in S9's "The Magic Lamp" where he told the other NG engines the story of Proteus and his magic lamp. And at least Skarloey wasn't a reckless, cheeky idiot in S7's "The Old Bridge", which is one of my favorite classic episodes 👍 🚂

I’m guessing Rheneas will be Rheneas and the Dinosaur.

Yeah, the Skarloey Railway Engines were literally treated like children in the HIT Era.

I still think Skarloey is my favorite character, but god the HiT era fucked him up BADLY!!!

This is the worst episode of “Thomas & Friends”.

This episode just makes me want to cringe, and (for Season 12 standards imo) wants me to vomit. It might just be my new most hated episode of the entire series. And I'm not even joking about that!

Thomas’ worst episode is probably Thomas’ Frosty Friend

If you’d aske me, I’d ask that the original narrow-gauge engines went for overhauls in the HIT era while were replaced by recently built twins of theirs each

Aye man, just became a viewer on your channel and This series you're doing is very funny and entertaining!! I hope you keep doing more of these!!

Every time I look at this episode or notice it, Skarloey Has the weirdest face in the entire Season

Anyone remember when TankEngine JonJon reviewed this?

3:46 Actually, the standard gauge engines do use vans to transport ice cream.

Skarloey and Rheneas are one of the best narrow gauge characters

Answer for that Ice-cream question I think they are transported in "Refrigerated Vans" They are like box vans, but they have a generator of some sorts to cool the interior

I'm so glad they fixed him in Blue mountain mystery

Season 12 is absolute dogshit and is by far my least favorite season out of the entire show 😃👍 3:46 they did technically, too hot for Thomas.

Rusty honestly shouldn't have had the right to be mad, HE was the one who stopped his train on the crossing DESPITE THE FACT THAT SKARLOEY TOLD HIM HE COULDNT STOP! If anything it's Rusty's fault the ice cream was ruined.

Can’t wait for “The Voices: The WORST Duke Episode”

They did have Ice Creams Van in Season 8 in Too Hot for Thomas… But this is the HIT Era, you expect continuity to be present throughout everything. It’s a miracle that Percival’s new bike appears as much as it did following Ding-A-Ling…

After this episode I think a fitting nickname for Skarloey in the Hit era would be: SkarClowney

This episode was so bad it killed trampy -unlucky tug 2024.

If only they had just introduced Ivo Hugh and resurrect Smudger for the childish roles than Skarloey and Rheneas could of had it better.

Another theory on why Skarloey was a child in the HIT era could be that they loved the “very old engines” book when he was first built

Episode where Sharon really crossed the line with Skarloey big time.

4:11 Similar to Percy takes the plunge

I remember seeing this episode on PBS Kids Sprout. Season 12 was a weird season though. Every time the characters in this season talk, it sounds like Michael Brandon is talking to Michael Brandon.

7:07 lol I had this toy at one point Also one thing worth noting is that this episode features the last crashes in the model series before CGI

Can’t imagine the Arlesdale Engines in the HiT Era be like

STOP IT! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING THE SKARLOEY RAILWAY ENGINES TREATED LIKE CHILDREN! IT'S GETTING ATROCIOUS! PUT AN END TO IT ALREADY! JUST STOOOOOOPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (realizes that was the last episode to have the Skarloey Engines depicted as children) Oh. they did stop

Thang god the narrow gauge engines didn’t appear in the Miller era until the end. I hope to god the they don’t appear in AEG because I can see them being portrayed as baby trains again if they did.

Honestly im happy they never tried to add the miniature engines in the model series I DONT WANNA KNOW WHAT HIT WOULD HAVE MADE THEM

Great pick. I'm not sure which i find worse "Push Me Pull You" or Skarloey The Brave

I agree with you, also, I don't buy that the puppet show is a heavy train

Rusty why the hell you stop in the middle of the crossing? 💀

I recently just discovered your stuff. it's pretty cool! Keep up the good work man, youll go far

2:49 Said the guy who doesn't question Diesel 10 not having a driver

Why was Season 12 so rushed!? Even as a kid I didn't find this season that good! Except for James' and Emily's 😥

Can you please do “Wonky Whistle” as the worst THOMAS episode?

4:30 AYO?! XD but yea this episode was one of the worse in season 12. Being S12 this is where the writing got more lazier and worse til S13. Skaroley was supposed to be the brave one not the wimpy. I think since the hit era had no idea why they think the narrow gauge or the midgets (I’ll call them that bc it’s funny) we’re more the baby trains than actually trains that worked in the island and knows better. Overall this Ep is 1/10.

1:16 no actually it was the old bridge that started it all.

3:14 Not the take-along toy!

I agree Push Me Pull You is definitely the worst episode. It was purely because they were old men with good morals and had beautiful character traits in The Britt Era. He became a child in The Hit Era that was scared. But Push Me Pull You was definitely the worst as Skarloey and Rhenaes debate that they are stronger than the other and fight over a puppet show. But the fact it is based on a puppet show is the worst. Then there was the other points that you mentioned in the video.

My question for Hit Era Skarloey is "Who Are You and What Have You Done With The Real Skarloey"!

4:23 If I were the kids at the puppet show, I wouldn't feel sorry for Skarloey

Im gonna be honest. I'd rather watch this than AEG

I really hate how The Narrow Guage Engines (Besides Sir Handel, (For some reason), Duncan and Fearless Freddie.) acted like they're in Primary Grades in the hit era. Especially Skarloey and Rheneas, when they should be the old wise engines.

What a horrible sendoff for the narrow Guage models.

-10/10 episode

They quite literally have vans with the ice cream factory logo introduced in the same era, season 8 or 9 I believe, they really just didn’t give a shit lol

This would've been a MUCH better episode had you made one change. Replace Skarloey with Duncan.

Wow, a Skarloey episode for the series? I totally didn't see that coming. No, I did not know you were gonna talk about this Vomit Bag of a Season 12 episode. No.

2:55 I wouldn't be surprised if they were in fact driving by themselves

Skarloey was also out of character in “the old iron bridge”

This is the most fucked up, worst model era TTTE episode

Maybe Emily in the middle as the worst Donald and Douglas episode

Can you do the worst Thomas episode like wonky, whistle or anything?

Idea for a "The WORST (insert character name here) Episode*: Thomas. What episodes to cover? Every episode from Series 8-24.

Skarloey: help me...

I feel like in every bad skarloey episode skarloey should’ve been replaced with Duncan idk why

The only 2 episodes from S12 that I fw are James works it out Best Friends I find James works it out a bit hilarious especially in the UK Dub😂😂😂 Bc of Angelis Narration and the way he would yell his lines for James and Percy

I thought it was going to be skarloey the brave or wharf and peace

3.14 had me in stitches because it’s true

Now focus on Narrow Gauge engines? Pretty cool.

If I had push me pull you my way I would add Bertram as the main character instead of Skarloey because he hadn't been seen since season 5. You see in this rewrite when he was given the puppet show special by Mr Percival But when all the engines ask him If you would like some help he denies this because he thinks he can do it on his own until when he became a runaway he learns that Getting your friends to help you is better than doing it by yourself. So what do you think of this rewrite do you like it or do you not.

That’s not skarloey, THATS skarlowby

Let’s ask Mattel to celebrate Thomas’s 40th tv anniversary this year

I’d also say that these sodor engines may have automatic controls

Please do Rheneas and the dinosaur next, or Sir Handel takes charge.

WE WERE WAITING FOR THIS.

IMO HiT Era Skarloey is the TTTE equivalent of eating a chicken breast from KFC that's still pink in the middle; Appetizing on the outside, vomit-inducing on the inside.

I think sir handel is wise because he’s caused “sir” handel

Call me crazy, but I feel like this episode would work if it was during the younger days if Skarloey, like very old engines

This might just be the worst episode of the entire show in the fact it's so bad I can't even laugh at it Every other episode is just boring or has slight flaws that bring it down but this takes the bloody cake Also, 3:58, Skarloey screams AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS for Rusty to get out of the way saying that he can't stop Rusty literally stops on the middle of the line.. like, why?? Everyone's lost their damn minds I swear

“Talyflynn” lol

Why haven’t you made this a playlist?

Out of all the entertainment episodes with the narrow gauge engines were written dirty they really massacred my man like why why would you do this?

Skarloey the brave is the next worst Skarloey episode

3:30 MSTS (Mircosoft Train Simulator) Physics in TTTE HiT Era before GTA VI

I knew you were going to make this video or "Skarloey the brave"... How is a puppet show train heavy? Here's some other worst episodes you can do. Donald and Douglas: Emily in the middle. Rosie: Rosie's carnival special. Thomas: Either something from the HIT, Miller or BWBA era. I would like to see someone rewriting the HIT Era Skarloey and Rheneas episodes in the RWS as their younger years.

Which episode is the best Skarloey episode?

This maybe a bad episode... but, I have nostalgia for it

To me this is the best season 12 episode , it's also like a 3/10

5:26 nope i can actually spot it actually 5 miles away (seriously)
