* HilariousInHindsight: Mr. Conductor Gets Left Out" has the kids learn firsthand not to watch too much television, especially not programming that exists solely to sell toys. ''Thomas and Friends'' itself would later go on to be MerchandiseDriven as a result of being owned by [[Creator/{{Mattel}} a toy company]].

* QuestionableCasting: [[Music/TheBeatles Ringo Starr]] (the first Mr. Conductor) was an odd choice for the role, although the reasoning was sound -- he had already provided the narration for the ''Thomas'' shorts (that were made up to that point). But then they brought in '''''Creator/GeorgeCarlin''''' (yes, the same guy known for the SevenDirtyWords bit) to replace him... [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools but amazingly, it still worked]]!
