About
I'm Banishing You To The Shadow Realm is a quote from the 2021 YouTube video "The ENTIRE Model Series Timeline of Thomas & Friends – Every Major Event from Seasons 1-12 in Order" by The Unlucky Tug. The scene is used as a redraw or exploitable meme and inspired several YTP-styled edits in the latter half of 2021.
Origin
The original video was posted to YouTube by The Unlucky Tug on June 11th, 2021.[1] In the scene, The Unlucky Tug talks about Sir Handel's disappearance until season 10 of the show and included a joke scene of Sir Topham Hatt sending Sir Handel to the "shadow realm," a concept popularized by Yu-Gi-Oh! (reupload shown below).
On June 13th, 2021, the clip was taken from the video and reposted to YouTube by O Face, where it received over 1.2 million views in five months (shown below).[2]
Spread
On July 9th, 2021, Twitter[3] user Nictrain123 posted an edited version of the original clip where Sir Handel banishes Sir Topham Hatt to the shadow realm using a reverse UNO card. Nictrain123 soon followed with an epilogue scene on the same day, receiving over 340 likes in four months (seen below).[4]
