!!Thomas and his Vines provide examples of the following:
* {{Bowdlerize}}: While several of his Vines have language in them, Thomas doesn't use anything truly harsh, either self-censoring the word or substituting something lighter, sometimes for comedic effect.
-->Well, I'm off to lunch, yes I'm in luck // I'm gonna stuff my face and not give a...darn. Eugh...
* CurseCutShort:
** Played with in two Vines that take advantage of Vines being on infinite loop to make it sound like he's actually cussing.
---> [=UUuuuck=]...all these expletives. *''stubs his toe on something''* FFFFFF--\\
It...is ridiculous how many people curse. *''drops his drink''* Shhhhh--
** In a couple of his Disney pranks, the Vine's timer cuts off the curse at the end, such as:
--->"Disney Pranks with Friends!" [[WesternAnimation/ABugsLife "I'm a beautiful butterfly!"]] *''dumps plastic bugs on a friend playing a video game''* "AAAH! Those are fake?! Oh, you son of a bi--"
* DeconstructiveParody: Some of his Vines do this, such as the one about ''Film/SingingInTheRain'':
-->*''dancing with umbrella''* I'm siiiinging in the rain! *''"lightning and thunder crash"''* AAAAH! That was a ''horrible'' idea!
* EndingFatigue: [[invoked]] TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'s tendency to last for ages is parodied in a couple of Vines.
--> *MANY MONTHS LATER* "It's Alex's turn!" "Alex is dead!" "Then roll for him!"
--> In a world where you actually finish a game of Monopoly...
* {{Fanservice}}: His butt has achieved memetic status among his fanbase, and he's obliged with a handful of underwear shots and even a Vine that ends with him revealing that he's not wearing pants.
* ForInconveniencePressOne: Thomas calls AT&T's help line and interrupts the operator with "To talk to a customer, please press 1." [[HilarityEnsues The operator actually hits the button.]]
* FunTShirt: He has [[TheMerch two T-shirts available]], one of which has one of his Misleading Compliments split to the front ("They'll never find your body...") and back ("...more beautiful than I do!").
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Thomas and his best friend Kevin "Leo" Anderson; they've made several Vines together and Leo's regularly featured in his other social media.
* InAWorld: Some of his early Vines were based on using this for humor.
-->In a world where your parents try video games for the first time...and it's ''hilarious''.
* InTheStyleOf: Several of his Vines have him singing parts of popular songs in a completely different style, such as singing the title line of Music/JayZ's "99 Problems" like Music/JasonMraz.
* ManOfAThousandVoices: He can do excellent impressions of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Stewie and Brian]], [[Series/TheMuppetShow Kermit]], [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Smeagol]], and [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]]; his Stewie Vines are some of his most popular.
* MoodWhiplash: The point of his "Misleading Compliment" series, saying something ominous or even threatening and then transitioning it into something very sweet and charming.
-->I'm going to ''crush'' you...with a big ol' hug for being such a dear friend! Hahaha, juicy!
* MotivationOnAStick: Played with when he works out with his trainers holding chocolate and junk food just out of reach.
* NiceGuy: Thomas is very amiable and tries to maintain an overall sense of fun and lightheartedness with his Vines and [=YouTube=] videos, in stark contrast to a great many other Viners whose content is much less family-friendly.
* PieInTheFace: He gets one of his Pokemon Prank vines turned on him when friend and fellow Viner Brittany Kelly nails him in the face with a pie as he comes up behind her.
* PlatonicLifePartners: {{Subverted|Trope}}. If you didn't know that Thomas and Brittany were just friends and classmates, it'd be easy to assume they're at least this if not actually dating from how many Vines they've done together and their content.
* PottyEmergency: In one Vine, Thomas and a friend really need to go but can't because their toilet-trained cat is taking his time.
* ThePrankster: He has two long-running Vine series, "Disney Pranks with Friends" and "Pokemon Pranks", which are all about adapting various Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/{{Pixar}} movies into pranks and pranks based on Franchise/{{Pokemon}} attacks, respectively. Some of his "Narrating People's Lives" Vines are pranks as well.
-->Disney Pranks with Friends! *''sprays a friend with Silly String while singing [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} "I've Got No Strings"]]''*
-->Zubat, go! Use Supersonic! *''friend plays a really loud guitar chord and scares someone awake*''
-->Story time! *''walks up to a woman looking at a dress and her daughter''* She stared at the gown and thought 'Yes, this is something my husband would wear.' *''woman laughs and nods while daughter turns away embarrased''*
* SaveThePrincess: {{Subverted|Trope}} in two Vines. In one, the villain admits that he loves Thomas and not the princess and is carried away by Thomas. In another, another princess knocks Thomas aside and saves the princess, then carries the princess away while Thomas and the villain watch in appreciation.
* TheScottishTrope: Not a Vine, but he did a Website/YouTube video talking about his personal experiences with the lore around ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''.
* ShoutOut: {{Invoked|Trope}} with his "Shout Out Sunday" series, where he sings a short song using the name of one of his friends or followers and dedicated to everyone with the name.
* SickeninglySweethearts: One vine is set up around this, ending with him carrying the girl down the hall ballet-style with an "I'm off to class with my lady love!"
* SoundEffectsBleep: In one Vine set at a gas station:
--> *''mis-pumps and stops at $15.01''* Well, that's gonna bug me all *HONK*ing day.
* TalkingToHimself: He's done several Vines where he plays multiple characters talking, especially in ''Family Guy'' Vines where he does both Stewie's and Brian's parts. He's also done several Vines with himself on his phone, laptop, and live speaking and singing different parts.
* WeatherReport: Two of his Vines are parodies of this featuring ''Series/{{Today}}'''s Al Roker; one is a straight-up parody of the Ollie Williams weather forecast from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
