Since 2014, Tommy [=McAnairey=] has been reminding the people of Ireland to reguarly check their carbon monoxide alarms and learn their sources of carbon monoxide poisoining via the medium of traditional Irish ballads. There's just one twist - Tommy is an anthropomorphic canary! The first Tommy [=McAnairey=] PublicServiceAnnouncement premiered [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSGXRRldj5U in late October 2014]] on behalf of Bord Gais Networks (later renamed to Gas Networks Ireland the following year). Since then, Tommy has appeared in a handful of [=PSA=]s in which he performs new songs, still on the subject of preventing carbon monoxide poisoning.
The campaign was created by Dublin-based advertising agency [[https://piranhabar.ie/portfolio-item/tommy-mcanairey/ Piranha Bar]] and features Irish singer-songwriter and comedian Paul Woodfull as the voice of Tommy [=McAnairey=].
The ads can be easily viewed on [[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tommy+mcanairey YouTube]].
!!Tropes found in these ads:
* AnAesop: Goes without saying considering these are [=PSAs=], in this case being how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoining in your home.
* AnimalOccupationStereotypes: Tommy's ancestors including his late Uncle Pat worked detecting carbon monoxide fumes in coal mines.
* ChasteToons: Averted with Tommy being the proud father of his daughter Drimnagh.
* DatelessGrave: Almost averted with Pat [=McAnairey=], his grave shows he was born in 1933 but the year of death is obscured by floral tributes.
* FeatherFingers: How else could Tommy play his banjo?
* FunnyAnimal: Tommy and his family are all anthropomorphic canaries.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: All of the members of the [=McAnairey=] family. Tommy appears to [[DoesNotLikeShoes dislike wearing shoes]], though.
* GallowsHumor: Tommy's ''other'' speciality besides singing and performing.
--> '''Tommy (singing):''' Poxy chores, poxy chores, they only wreck me head, but do just one poxy chore...
--> '''Tommy and Drimnagh:''' ...or ye might be brown bread![[note]]Cockney rhyming slang for dead[[/note]]
* {{Goth}}: Tommy's daughter Drimnagh is one.
* LighterAndSofter: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6gLYQiPpNM "Monthly Chores"]] [=PSA=] features a more upbeat song and more brightly-lit setting than previous [=PSAs=].
* {{Mascot}}: He's more or less become one for Gas Networks Ireland since his debut.
* MinimalistCast: The only characters seen on screen are Tommy and his relatives, both alive and deceased.
* MissingMom: We don't yet know who Drimnagh's mother is.
* MoodWhiplash: Tommy often changes the tone of his songs from upbeat to dour on the last line in order to sell the seriousness of carbon monoxide poisoning.

* PhoneaholicTeenager: Drimnagh is burying her face in her phone in her debut appearance. The only thing that pulls her away from it is the fright she gets when Tommy tests the carbon monoxide alarm in the kitchen.
* PunnyName: In keeping with Tommy's "any fuel can harm" message, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqlP6tXvpUY this [=PSA=] for Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week 2016]] features a song title dedicated to a deceased relative of Tommy named Annie Fuel.

* ThemeNaming: In the Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week 2016 [=PSA=], done in the style of an album infomercial, the song titles are all related to Tommy's mission. There's such gems as "Th'Oul Carbon Monoxide's a Terrible Thing", "Stone Dead in Three Minutes Flat" and "Sweep the Divil From Your Chimney".
* ThemeTuneExtended: A two-minute song adpated from the ads called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inqYVuA_MBc "Carbon Monoxide is Lethal as Hell"]] was released for Csrbon Monoxide Awareness Week in 2015.
* TuftOfHeadFur: Tommy's daughter Drimnagh has a green-dyed combover fringe of feathers.
* VisualPun: In the first ad, Tommy mentions his "dear Uncle Pat" in a song. The camera pans over to a portrait of Patrick [=McAnairey=], who is wearing mining gear, making him a literal canary in a coal mine.
--> '''Tommy (to crowd):''' Thank you. That was for my canary ancestors who worked down the mines detecting the lethal gas carbon monoxide.
