Random: Can Animal Crossing Players Stop Imprisoning Poor Tommy, Please?

This is horrible please make it stop

I’ve had the internet for a while... Something tells me he had this coming.

This strangely reminds me of how I treated my neighbors in the original Sims as a kid 😆 How cruel.

Tom Nook is getting bailed out, this is only fair.

Do you see, Tom?
Do you see what your unchecked capitalism has wrought?

Don't try telling me the New Horizons island isn't Tom Nook's attempt at creating his own Rapture.
I see through your disguise mr. Nook, or should I say Andrew Ryan!
Oh my god, the animal-human crossbreeds are splicers. Freaky experiments with Adam. It all makes sense.

Is it just me or is Animal Crossing becoming ‘Lost’?

Not entirely sure I wasn’t stung by the smoke monster the other day.

LOL 🤣
It's a Smooth Criminal

Tommy are you okay ?
Tommy are you okay ?
Are you okay, Tommy ?

@Kitchener
💗🎼"Won't you come on down, to Rapture?
Jam a needle in your aaaaarm!
It will slowly corrode, your genetic-al code,
But it's all part of, the chaaaaaarm!

So you're a gross abomination, but in tiiiime, you're gooonna beeee!
So glad you came on down, to the best little town,
At the bottom of, the deep blue seeeeeeea!"🎼💗

This is both hilarious and insane. Good job, internet.

Did we really need trigger warnings for this?
I think the most horrifying part about this are people taking this seriously

Leave Tommy alone. Leave Tom Nook alone too unless you can show me a single real life house loan you can pay off after three hours of bug hunting.

They are clearly Tom’s nephews. Come on people

Please stop this everyone, this should not be happening, please stop ! Think of the Kids !

So is Tommy the new Ice Age baby?

Timmy and Tommy aren't even his kids! Stop mistreating the children!

@Zach777 Actually, in Wild World, Nook states that the twins aren't related to him; they're just his apprentices.

Citing myself from a few days ago, "...watch [this game] become the ultimate countermeme to the certain social circles' "video games and violence" buzz. Or I don't know the internet"

Guess I really don't.😅

What will PETA say?

Can we imprison Tom Nook himself?

Hah, like that will work. They’re not his children, he doesn’t care.

@Quarth you beat me to it buddy 😂

@KayFiOS Yeah, he apparently just adopted them.

@Broosh Yeah anyone who played The Sims knows how this type of thing happens all the time lol

hysterically shouts "Leave Tommy alone! He's only a raccoon!"

can someone please tell me of where i can get the tools to trap Tommy and how i would use them to do so? i would like that cage.

does trapping him actually work? how do i go about capturing him if nook's cranny is open and he is inside? and would it be possible to get money or loans forgiven if i were to capture one of my fellow villagers?

I think this is only fair because people pay money for this game only to be in debt to it. :/

Lol! They must be crazy if they think Don Nook will bow to these pointless threats. They'll be seeing horseheads in their beds soon...

and does anyone know if capturing Gulliver will do us any good? or does nook just ignore that?

If he doesn't pay up, send him an ear in the mail. Written on an adorable post card of course.

People are strange.

Tom Nook has very fair terms of credit!

@KayFiOS This saddens me

Please stop doing this

That'll explain why Tom Nook spends all day drinking in his tent

Hilarious to me. As are all the pleas to stop. They’re not even his children, so folks were going about it the wrong way. Now the true way to hurt Nook would be capturing the other residents, cutting Tom off from his revenue streams.

Make him an offer he can’t refuse

Tom nook : I will find you and I will kill you.

1 problem
they aren't his sons, or cousins, they aren't even family
Tom Nook is Timmy & Tommy's teacher

• Tom Nook is not even evil

Tom Nook is much better than irl home ownership. No interest, no deadline, and the house is built the next day, with the roof color YOU want. People need to be thanking him.

Timmy and Tommy aren't Tom's children (as I'm sure people have already mentioned).

That said, this won't work, because Timmy & Tommy knew what kind of business they were getting themselves into when they took the job.

You get caught, you're let go of. Thems the rules.

It's not like Tom is even requiring you to pay things back, not is interest a thing. The only shady thing is having to provide your own money and resources to Nook so he can sell the house to some other animal and reap the rewards himself

@Zach777 Exactly, as if Tom Nook cared, he has simply been forcing them to do business for him for that past few years, refusing to let them return home to their parents. It wouldn't be hard for him to find replacements...

This is the funniest thing I have seen all week. ))

Just grow money trees. Getting money isn't hard if you know where to look.

“We don’t have the time to review every eshop game” they said.

@Kalmaro You mean people who are going along with the joke, right? We obviously know he's just lines of code.

@Chlocean No, I mean the people getting upset over lines of code. I think this is all harmless fun.

@stevenw45 I think it's safe to say that the only person on the island who cares about Gulliver is you, potentially.

I'm okay with this. We don't need both Timmy and Tommy. We can survive with only one of them. Not like the store is open at night!

Dude, why do people complain about Tom nook being a greedy guy? If you don’t wanna be in debt, you don’t have to buy the next tier of house. He only builds it if you agree to it... of course your gonna need to pay it off... and he doesn’t ever charge interest! No bank in the world would be generous enough to do that.
Also, Timmy and tommy aren’t his children. Just his students.

I hate Timmy and Tommy. Walked in to their shop and they followed me around like I was some kind of criminal. In protest I left without buying anything.

Then immediately walked back in because I needed to sell some crap.

@Mikenificent

that probably should have gone unsaid. now he might not visit your island anymore. imagine the amount of nook miles that you won't get and the miles you may lose...lol either way, i want a video of tom nook paying the ransom for the release of Tommy.

its too bad we can't capture tom nook himself. just imagine all of the riches that we may get from Timmy and Tommy; after all they do own nook's cranny. (a full item catalog, a bigger retail store, or maybe something else)

@Quarth came here to for this PETA comment

I was here for this historic Reddit moment.

I'm fine with Tom Nook doling out interest-free, deadline-free, no-strings-attached home finance loans. But the bit where he had me put up money and resources to build the other villagers' homes was worse. I literally saved his resort from becoming the Fyre Festival.

Just a clarification. Apperantly Timmy and Tommy are not family of Tom Nook in any way. According to Tom Nook himself (from Animal Crossing Wild World), they are just his "pupils".

Also, Tom Nook is way too generous to deserve this anyway, Like, come on. The only game when he was "mean" was the first one and he still give you a no interest no rush loan to pay your house when you have no money nor job.

Hm... I wonder what would happen if we would shove the cage and its inhabitant into the water...

That screenshot would have been funnier if that player had been holding an axe or maybe a slingshot since is the closest thing to a gun in this game 🤣

Wonder if they know that the two are not related to him? 😏

What was the point of making this article? It’s a game, don’t take it seriously.
