LOL!!
And to think, Doogie Houser, shame upon you. 
LOL
Falls flat to me, not funny at all.
All the best,

May be acting, but he sure sounds like a real railfan! lol
It was funny. It was a comedy bit as part of a larger comedy bit sequence.
In the end it's designed to make him look foolish and the kids smart.
No biggie.
Love it.
Little kids calling the old guy a diesel as an insult. Oh the irony I loved it.
And when that Old Diesel hits the RTM button in the right hand column I hope he takes it to heart.
LOL...
LOL!!! What's wrong with being a diesel?!
Outstandingly funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm curious if the term "Tankies" is going to be a real thing now...
The first half sounds alot like the interaction on this forum sometimes.
Very odd, strange what passes for entertainment.

As someone who grew up on Thomas, I found it funny.
I didn't find it cruel or offensive, but it wasn't very funny either.
It seemed consistent with the wacky role he played in the Harold and Kumar movies.
If it was to be funny to kids, he did a good at first but blew it completely at the end!!

You got that right.

You do know the entire thing, including the kid's reactions, was scripted, right?
It fell flat with me too. Makes sense that those kids will be asking for a X-Box or PS-2 for Christmas....

There are times on the forum, when folks just take everything way too seriously. This is a joke, as most respondents recognize. .
Weak attempt at humor. I'd rather see adults be more gentle with young kids.
I thought it was going to be a real put down caught on camera......
seeing as it's a satire skit....kinda funny.
Reminds me of Shatner going off on the Trekkies on SNL.
I think I would like to see Big Bang Sheldon do this rant - I probably know more than either one of them about Thomas anyway........... 
Tankie, Tankie, Tankie 
Better to be a "tankie" than a diesel? 
I don't get how swearing and throwing a temper tantrum in front of little kids is supposed to be humorous.Just stupid and sad to me.

I didn't watch it, only because I think
Neil Patrick Harris is an idiot!
You're gonna tell me if I get too obsessed with this stuff...right?
