A notable maker of YouTube Poop. His channel can be found Here. He is known for his incredible sentence mixing, his amazing working speed: after less than three years[when?], Tom's channel currently hosts more than 300 videos, and his excessive use of running gags and personal in-jokes. Despite all his achievements, he has yet to achieve the popularity of such famous poopers as Deepercutt and Walrus Guy, but has an extremely enthusiastic fanbase among the audiences he does have.
His major recurring sources (other than ones used by all Youtube Poopers) include:
- The scene of Orson Welles advertising "Rosebud Frozen Peas" from The Critic. "Green Peaness".
- Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, particularly the season 2 finale promo featuring "A BABIES' PYNESS".
- "Tom's Terrible Tales From The Toaster", a series of edits of the Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark audiobooks as narrated by George S. Irving.
- Dirty Potter and Jim Dale. He has made several videos consisting of Jim's old songs (from when he was a pop singer in England) with lines from Dirty Potter inserted throughout.
- Insane Clown Posse songs and music videos.
Not to be confused with the other Tom Servo.
Tomservo3 provides examples of the following tropes:
- Adam Westing
- Affectionate Parody: Most of the time.
- Anti-Love Song: "Rick Astley Doesn't Love You Anymore"
- Ascended Extra: Does this with most recurring characters, applying the trope to both the original work and his video library.
- Author Tract / Author Filibuster: Quite a few, most of which delivered through Jim Dale.
- Back from the Dead: Thomas and Alfred in this video
- Big Damn Heroes: See Back from the Dead directly above. Subverted, though, since they kill Sam as well immediately after saving him.
- Black Comedy Rape: "Rape" is regularly used as an obscenity and is not treated with any more discretion than other vulgar topics.
- Creator Breakdown: Happened once when he started removing all his videos. He got better, and all those videos are back now.
- More recently, he has suffered another one with the illness and impending death of his pet cat.
- And a third with Youtube removing his account. He's reuploading all his videos to one of his alts.
- More recently, he has suffered another one with the illness and impending death of his pet cat.
- Everything's Better with Cows: In his Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark videos.
- Forced Meme: A lot of his jokes are really overused and often shoehorned into videos.
- Gag Penis: The "Babies' Pyness" and "Green Peaness".
- Hurl It Into the Sun: Thomas and Alfred, and occasionally others in the scary stories videos, do this often.
- Inherently Funny Words: "Cows", "Sausage", etc.
- Interactive Narrator: George Irving and Jim Dale.
- Juggalo: Has admitted to being one... even if his recent poops might suggest otherwise.
- Jump Scare: A common trait of his videos is a single sound played much louder than the rest of the video.
- Killed Off for Real: Sausage
- Kill It with Fire: Also in the Scary Stories videos: "Let's throw em' in the fire!"
- Manipulative Editing
- Old Shame: This, which is somehow his most viewed video. Tom is not happy with this being his most popular work.
- Overly Long Gag: Many, most notably in this video. The excessive use of some jokes across multiple videos may also count.
- Rape Is Love: As per above. Most notably in "The Butt Stop".
- Refuge in Audacity
- Refuge in Vulgarity
- Rule of Funny
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: "No wait, that's terrible. I quit!"
- Self-Deprecation: He has denounced several of his own videos as crap.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: The APM cartoon music in his Scary Stories videos. Although they might not be so unfitting in these versions.
- Stupid Statement Dance Mix: A few.
- Take That: A trio of videos in which Jim Dale voices his opinions on Twilight, Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers. He is also strongly opposed to the copyright policies of Viacom, see here.
- The Stinger: The "A Tomservo3 Production" image featured at the end of each video.
- Those Two Guys: Thomas and Alfred
- YouTube Poop: Duh.
