* TheBGrade: It was the base for one of the School Vines.
-->'''Dahlia''': ''[in despair, surrounded by friends trying to comfort her]'' I've wronged this test!\\
'''Thomas''': It's okay, look, we all did bad, I got 64...\\
'''Dahlia''': 97!\\
'''Thomas''': ''[leaving her, containing anger behind a fake smile while the rest of the classmates show different gestures of annoyance and leave her too]'' Okay, I think you'll be okay... Seriously...

* HilariousOuttakes: Three blooper reels for Thomas' [=YouTube=] work, including but not limited to ''Sanders Sides'' and ''Cartoon Therapy'', have been released. Also, since mid 2017, at the end of each ''Sanders Shorts'' [=YouTube=] monthly compilation, bloopers of the filming of the featured shorts are shown at the end.

* CastFullOfWriters: Thomas and Joan are the writers of ''Sanders Sides''. Thomas is the main star and Joan has had many appearances too.

''[The car starts out in Thomas' dreams and loudly crashes off-screen, only a wheel survives, bouncing away]]''\\

'''Thomas''': ''[horrified, looking behind him]]'' WITCHES!?

-->'''Thomas''': Listen, there's a name for people like me who are afraid of magic old hags...\\

* TimeshiftedActor: Thomas had many Vines and shorts where a younger version of him appears. Young Thomas has been played by different actors over time, the most prolific of them Alex Rupp, who appeared five times as young Thomas.

--->'''Thomas''': ''[menacing voice]'' I'm going to ''crush'' you... ''[suddenly happy voice]'' wiiiith a big ol' hug for being such a dear friend! Hahaha, juicy!

*** That split second frame of Patton looking on at Roman and Thomas' performances in Act Three is extremely brilliant. In that second, and the first time the viewer watches, it's just assumed that Patton is smiling as he always does. However, upon knowing that it's actually Deceit, and on the multiple viewings after, if one actually focuses on his expression, the smile becomes ''much'' more menacing - showing that he's enjoying the ''hell'' out of this.

* ForcedToWatch: Invoked by Camden during a ''Voices of Unreason'' episode, while voicing a pie-shaped creature. The face he shows when he realizes the words that have just come out of his mouth is hilariously priceless.

'''Camden''': The wanted me to watch.\\

-->'''Camden''': Well, the rest of my body has been removed and consumed. [...]

* {{Rickroll}}:
** Thomas and another friend barge into Taylor's room and sing "Never Gonna Give You Up" to him and Leo. They both cringe and cover their ears.
** In one of his April Fools vines, Thomas told his mom that the cops were on the phone for her. Naturally, it was this instead. [[HilarityEnsues She starts dancing.]]
** In "Fitting In", the ''Franchise/HarryPotter''-themed episode from ''Sanders Sides'', the episode starts with Thomas rickrolling viewers, singing the song with altered lyrics, replacing "Never gonna" with "Neville gonna", until another wizard played by Joan makes him shut up with a Petrificus Totalus.

'''Thomas''': In a world where you get a haircut and you're like "Ooh, that feels...''weird''.

-->'''Thomas''': Camden, are you going to be a voiceless character for this particular video?\\

Aside from the themes of his content, Thomas is also known for doing a ''lot'' of singing in his media, partly because he's a really good singer and partly because he does musical theater. As a singer, he released an EP in 2013 consisting of Christmas songs, and an album in 2016 with the soundtrack of his ''Ultimate Storytime'' musical, a show with which he went on tour to 17 cities of the USA and Canada, including Toronto and New York City. He's also released both on [=YouTube=] and on iTunes, Spotify and other platforms several singles from 2017 onward like "The Things We Used to Share" or "On the Borderline". He has a second EP on the way with songs composed by his friend Joan.

** Near the end of "Selfishness vs. Selflessness", before Deceit makes his leave, he tells Thomas, “I’ll ''always'' be a part of you”, and reveals that just like the other sides, he too has a ‘logo’ of his own; a two-headed snake.

* EvilMeScaresMe: In "Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning?", Thomas was absolutely ''terrified'' by the appearance of Deceit.

* EdutainmentShow: Many of his [=YouTube=] shows fit in the edutainment trope, most notably the "I Can't Believe I Never Knew..." series, where Thomas and his guests teach viewers about topics like black history, gender equality, different racial issues, autism, LGBTQ+ issues... all through conversation between Thomas and his guests or having the guests making questions to Thomas about the topic and him trying to guess the answer among some choices.

* AbortedArc: Thomas and the Sanders Sides travel to a new "Mind Palace" created by Patton and Roman as the new setting for the show. However, in the following episode, they quickly go back to Thomas' apartment and never come back to the Mind Palace, and only one single passing mention is made of it at the beginning of season 2.[[note]]In real life, there were technical issues with the sound, mainly an uncomfortable and noticeable echo when characters spoke, that rendered the new location unusable, so the production team decided to revert to the previous location, initially until a new one without technical problems could be found. Ultimately, it would be settled that Thomas' apartment would remain being the main location, even after Thomas' moved his production headquarters to a new office in January 2019.[[/note]]

'''Thomas''': ''[holding his hamster Sacagawea]'' I wonder what animals would they say if they could talk to us.\\

** In ''Voices of Unreason'', viewers send drawings of creatures they make up, and then Thomas and his friend will give voice to these creatures.

** He had to bleep JayIsJo's reaction in one of his Pokémon pranks, but went ahead and posted it because it was too funny to not use.

'''Bird Thomas''': ''[yelling, pointing at his body]'' YOH! What girl wants a piece of this!? ''[looking at an off-screen branch]'' Dude! Get off my branch!\\

'''Thomas''': ''[holding his hamster Sacagawea]'' What would they say if they could talk?\\
'''Sacagawea''': ''[[[InnerMonologue inner voice]]]'' Nah... I guess I'd just tell you to put the f... ''[bleep]'' me down.\\
