Description Here's another drawing that involves characters reacting to a video, and it's actually my part of a trade with Splatdacat04 . The full title of this was supposed to be "Morgan, Rufus, Gordon, James, and Henry's Reaction to Teatime Takedown", but sadly, dA won't let me use such a long title.

Morgan the Cat and Rufus the Noop (of "The Dreamstone") are reacting to the campaign trailer of something called "Teatime Takedown", and it's apparently from a retail brand known as "ALDI". I never really knew much about ALDI before Splatdacat04 told me about them.

Once I saw the Teatime Takedown trailer, though, I was disgusted at what I saw. If you've never seen the trailer, I'll give a brief summary of what it is: It's attempting to influence parents into hiring "professionals" to join kids' games just to harass those kids to the point where they'll quit the game! And ALDI thinks this will "restore" dinnertime and force kids to go back to the (boring) real world.... really?! I can see what Morgan and many others hated this idea. I don't like it either! This sort of campaign just seems more like a form of cyberbullying to me.

Now, back to the picture. Morgan and Rufus have just seen the trailer, and both of them are in disbelief. Morgan is especially angry, since he's likely a gamer and enjoys playing video games, so he obviously hates the idea of Teatime Takedown. Rufus sees the campaign as cyberbullying, much like I do.

They're not the only British characters in this picture who have taken notice of Teatime Takedown, though. At Tidmouth Sheds on the island of Sodor, three steam engines are viewing the campaign trailer on a monitor placed onto a railway cart. Those three engines are none other than James, Gordon (not the chef or alien), and Henry. Gordon and James may be boastful at times, but they, along with Henry, can all agree that Teatime Takedown is a bad idea.

To conclude: I don't really hate ALDI itself as a company, as I do not really know much about them. But I can safely say that I, as an individual, cannot stand their "Teatime Takedown" campaign. In the words of Gordon, James, and Henry, Teatime Takedown is disgraceful, disgusting, and despicable! And also quite unrealistic, because some kid gamers might even beat the "professionals"! You never know.

Morgan the Cat belongs to Splatdacat04.

James the Red Engine, Gordon the Big Engine, & Henry the Green Engine(C) The Rev. W. Awdry, Britt Allcroft, and Mattel.

I believe that ALDI is the name of a brand of two discount supermarket chains based in Germany.

I remember seeing James, Gordon and Henry say a lot. Especially my mom and I use to repeat there phrases when I was a little boy. It sounded pretty weird when I heard of them saying that.

JustinandDennis In reply to HenryandGideonGrey [2019-08-23 23:05:36 +0000 UTC]

I can't blame you for thinking that. I also tend to get bored with reality real quickly if I'm not doing anything fun. That's why I like to use electronic devices frequently.

What is Sir Topham Hatt going to think about the video?

JustinandDennis In reply to LeafsFan79 [2019-08-23 23:19:17 +0000 UTC]

My guess is that he might have heard about Teatime Takedown first, before all the engines, and was shocked about it. Sir Topham Hatt then told the engines about what he saw. Gordon, James, and Henry didn't believe him, so he had to set up a monitor and put on the video for the three engines to watch.

I bet that Thomas and Percy would be the most shocked.

I bet they’d be frightened if they saw... SHED 17!! Sorry for bringing this up

I'm sure they would. And it's fine. I've gotten over the slight trauma that Shed 17 inflicted on me last year.

I saw the “Shed 17” video myself and it sure does start to get disturbing when it gets to the 30:55 mark!

Yeah, the campaign is kinda like reverse bully hunters

I'll bet. And for the picture, I thought I would specifically use characters from the UK alongside Morgan the Cat. Surprised that I added three engines from "Thomas & Friends" reacting to the trailer as well? Those engines are also from the UK.

Yeah, that works out! (Are you aware of what bully hunters was?)
