It was created with insperation from Kuno the Tank Engine. "Eli the Tank Engine" can be refered to as "ETTE" for short. The new names given to the characters are based upon other YouTube users. Both fans of Thomas, TUGS, Sonic, etc. and also trolls. In the first few ETTE videos, it also included people Eli knows IRL and even pets and animals. Legend of Zelda character's names were also introduced with some of the characters. The purpose of having trolls and spammers is the give the series it's comedy name. Although this is also a reason it should only be view by fans. Since most ETTE videos are private, it's not as popular as T&FNES. Although Eli has put the private ETTE videos up on Megaupload. Whenever Eli makes an ETTE videos, he makes sure that all friends that are in the ETTE video can view it if they have an account on YouTube. Otherwise is given the Megaupload link. But also for the trolls who appear in the ETTE video, he also allows the troll's victums to view the video. Although since private lists have a limit to 25 people, if the list is full. The rest of the people are given the Megaupload link.
