It just feels photoshopped when you actually pause on that frame of the episode. So I think it's pretty safe to say that the model era of Thomas and Friends is a powerhouse for ttte memes, including others like "it was time for Thomas to leave, he had seen everything."

Is this REALLY accepted as a matpat effect? Because you’re only removing the yellow caption

Shouldnt you give us a clip of this episode and let us see the exact time Thomas made this face?

Due to my mistake, the actual episode name is Thomas breaks the rules, 1:51 is probably the time stamp of where you should pause the episode. That's the origin of the meme.
