Trivia[]
- He is the creator of asdfmovie and used to work on and later directed Eddsworld, a webseries he would take over for 4 years due to his best friend (and creator of latter show), Edd Gould's death in 2012.
- He's known to be friends with Edd Gould (Eddsworld), Eddie Bowley (Eddache), Elliot Gough (ElliotExplicit), Chloe Dungate (ScarfDemon), Todd Bryanton (LilDeuceDeuce) and many other YouTubers who starred in asdfmovie.
- He made a cameo in "Taste the Sweetness" due to the montage of references in the previous episode, as it contained references to Eddsworld's Just a Bit Crazy and asdfmovie's Everybody Do The Flop, which caught his attention on Twitter.
- Tom's mother's side is (ethnically) Jewish. This makes him the second Jew to work on the show after Adam Katz. However, unlike him, he is not a practicing Jew.
- In Eddsworld, the character Ridgewell used to voice (Tom) had a pineapple for a father, which could likely explain why he voices a pineapple in BFDIA.
- Otherwise, it could be a reference to a skit in asdfmovie: deleted scenes called "Suddenly, pineapples."
- "Seasonal Shift" marks the second time Tomska was the guest voice actor of a sentient object that kept getting replaced by other characters in a special episode of a web series, as he also voiced the Magnet from episode 6 of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
