    Tom is the one who inspired all those cartoon gags where the character opens their wardrobe and it’s 10 pairs of their usual clothes.

    the fact that he doesnt have just one red t-shirt, and instead, buys, has bought, and will buy red t-shirts in bulk is funnier than him just having one red shirt he always wears

      I actually had a maths teacher in high school and prep years who would always wear black t-shirts.
      The whole engineering prep class would cosplay as him on his birthdays, wearing black t-shirts, blue jeans and some yellow-chalk-stained school notes sticking out the back pocket (some would even carry around a notes folder and a bottle of water, for the full cosplay). People from the med-school prep classes would think us... funny...

    I assumed it was for filming continuity. I've started noticing it a lot after I heard David Attenborough talk about how he always wore a blue shirt and light pants for filming, no matter what continent he was on, so it was easier to make cuts where he (for instance) starts a sentence on a beach in Australia… and finishes it in the arctic.

    I like how every now and then, I come across more things that reinforce the idea that I already know Tom - something undoubtedly sparked by the parasocial relationship from watching his videos and seeing him online for ages, but also that sense of familiarity that comes from either feeling like we’ve already met and drank together in a pub; or at the very least, we’re part of the same social group and our respective friends have met and drank together in a pub, or we’ve each met and drank in a pub with each others’ respective friends.
    Case in point here - while I wouldn’t say I *know* Steve from the Pembury, I’m fairly sure I’ve ended up in his flat above the (dearly departed) Oakdale Arms with a bunch of friends after the pub closed for the night, probably on a Thursday evening in the late 00s or maybe early 10s. And I’ve been to the Pembury a whole bunch of times - for Thursday night drinks, for boardgames, for Sunday roasts (and Tom, while I don’t really know Steve, I definitely do know Chris who worked at the Pembury for a while, and if you were a regular there you probably do too)!
    …I’m not sure what it says about me to be starting off my new year with a dose of nostalgia, but here we are! 😅

    Also for a good riff on this sort of thing in the cartoon world (where characters are almost always drawn with the same outfits because that makes it easier to maintain consistency and a sense of continuity when they're being "tweened" by a room full of different animators, same as how even fictional live action TV characters will generally keep the same wardrobe to make continuity assurance easier), I can recommend both the little known late 90s? / early 2000s? anime "Lost Universe" which spoofs a lot of established space-adventure cartoon tropes, including a protagonist who can never decide what to wear despite having a wardrobe full of nothing but identical copies of the same outfit, and - the curiously similarly named - Steven Universe, where several of the main characters have the very good excuse that their entire material appearance is just a holographic projection, yet they actually have two or three costume changes each as time goes on... whilst the (mostly) human title character is _always_ seen in shorts and a red shirt with a yellow star on it. Which it's revealed at one point he actually has at least two dozen of in every size, because they're unsold merch from his dad's failed band...
    (and Red Dwarf has both three classic cases of this - Kryten obviously never changes due to being a mech, except between his debut and then reappearance as a permanent character (handwaved as being due to an accident), Rimmer is himself a computer generated hologram and so has a grand total of two, maybe three costumes throughout, and Lister always wears the same stuff due to being a slob... but also a complete aversion of it, in the Cat. Who could turn up wearing completely different stuff in five successive scenes due to a massive continuity failure, and it could still just be explained away as being part of his character instead...)
