History Recap / ThomasAndFriendsS5E2HorridLorry

* {{Jerkass}}es: The lorries, as the title implies.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being furious at one of the lorries mocking him, Toby is horrified when one skids off a cliff.

* TooDumbToLive: The lorries’ reckless driving ends up their own undoing. One of them drives too fast and falls off a cliff, and another doesn’t watch where he’s going and backs up into the harbor. Only the third doesn’t suffer from driving issues -- he’s taken out after he’s loaded with too much flour and breaks down.

* ItBelongsInAMuseum: When Lorry 2 meets Toby, he tells him that he belongs in a museum instead of working at a quarry.

The engines are working really hard, and the Fat Controller thinks they need some help. He hires three lorries to help them. The lorries, though, besides being insulting, say that they're taking over the engines' jobs. The engines have the last laugh, though, when the lorries get into difficulties.

* {{Asshole Victim}}s: The lorries end up facing separate accidents one by one.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Toby doesn't usually get angry, which only serves to highlight the nastiness of the lorries.
* CranialEruption: Lorry 2's driver has one when he jumps clear after Lorry 2 falls off a cliff.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The lorries make fun of the engines by saying they suck at their jobs. Turns out they themselves are too incompetent to do the engines' work.
* IronicEcho: When the lorries first arrive, one of them asks Percy "What's that steaming lump of scrap iron doing here?". Later, Percy asks the lorry the exact same thing when he finds him broken down.

* {{Jerkass}}es: The lorries as the title implies.

* ShoutOut: Probably unintentional, but one of the lorries calls Percy "the little [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Green Goblin]] on wheels."

* TemptingFate: The tender engines scoff at the idea of being replaced by lorries. Soon enough three appear. Best examplified in the narration:

'''Narrator:''' I'm afraid it did -- along with two more.

* TooDumbToLive: The lorries' reckless driving ends up their own undoing. One of them drives too fast and falls off a cliff, and another doesn’t watch where he’s going and backs up into the harbor. Only the third doesn’t suffer from driving issues -- he’s taken out after he’s loaded with too much flour and breaks down.
* WeWillMeetAgain: The lorries angrily vow to return and get back at the engines, though as the narrator notes, they have yet to do so. Lorries 1 and 2 are unlikely to reappear since the former has suffered extensive saltwater damage[[note]]just being sprayed by seawater ''[[https://www.motorbiscuit.com/here-are-the-devastating-effects-saltwater-can-have-on-your-car/ is not good for a road vehicle]]'', never mind being submerged in it like Lorry 1 was[[/note]] and the latter looks completely wrecked, and not even Lorry 3, the only one who doesn't seem to be a write-off, has appeared since.

** Lorry 1 reverses into the sea and is implied to have floated off, likely causing irreparable saltwater damage. The fact that a barge brings him back to the docks only adds insult to injury, and James finds this *hilarious*.

** Cranky as well, despite him reforming in his debut episode. He insults Percy and then continues to mock the other engines when

* {{Jerkass}}es: The lorries as the name of the title implies.
** Cranky as well when he is pleased with them going to show off the engines.
* LaserGuidedKarma: All three lorries suffer accidents that leave them wrecked after bullying the engines and vowing to have them scrapped.
** Lorry 1 reverses into the sea and is implied to have floated off, likely causing irreparable saltwater damage.

** Lorry 3, perhaps overestimating his own capacity, is overloaded at the mill, resulting in his systems being clogged with flour and him breaking down.
* OneShotCharacter: Lorry 1, Lorry 2 and Lorry 3.

* FantasticRacism: The three lorries to the trains.

** Cranky as well when he is pleased with them going to show off the trains.

-->'''Percy:''' What if a lorry DOES arrive?!\\
'''James:''' Stuff and nonsense!\\

-->'''Lorry Driver''': [[NonSequiturThud Rotten roads...]]

-->'''Tow truck man''': Stupid lorry was reversing and fell straight into the sea.

'''James''': Despicable!
