The first reference to Tommy Parky can be seen through an article from the Irish Independent, detailing an incident in which Tommy was charged with drunk and disorderly conduct, threatening to kill two Gardai in the process<ref>https://archive.is/HU27B</ref>. Additionally, it’s stated that Tommy was facing additional charges for resisting arrest, indecent behavior and failing to show up for court, resulting in a bench warrant being issued. After being released Tommy moved from Courtown Harbour to Liverpool on August 5th, 2003, presumably to move on from the previous arrest and start a new life in England.

On May 15th, 2009, the Twitter account @tommyparky<ref>https://archive.is/5nK6h</ref> was created, posting the typical ramblings that Tommy would be infamous for, harassing Twitter users and people he was targeting on YouTube, a text archive of Tweets he made on that account from 2010 to 2017 can be downloaded [https://files.catbox.moe/1t35e4.txt here].

The same year Tommy began creating videos in Animoto, which would be the standard for the vast majority of his YouTube content for a few years, the first known video he created was simply titled “Mr Gay UK 2009”, now believed to be lost media due to Animoto purging the vast majority of videos on the site. These videos usually contained random music with an image of the topic and a photo of either Dave, Tommy, or both. The videos are widely believed to be similar to the videos on southparkstudiosable that came out a year later as Tommy started his clickbait shenanigans there.  

The first real known instance of trolling involved Tommy posting his brother Dave Parky’s phone number on the Liverpool Gumtree under a series of advertisements, only two of these pages were saved by the [https://web.archive.org/ Wayback Machine], however it is known numerous of these ads were posted.

(FIX THIS AT SOME POINT) This description in retrospect would prove ironic as the UTubeTrollPolice grew rapidly and did indeed work its purpose, convincing many that the channel and those emulating it that they were legitimately anti-trolls and not trolls themselves, with the intent largely being to bait tryhard troll channels with the trollface avatar and so forth. The channel gained 13,066 channel views within 8 days, which is a lot considering how much smaller YouTube was at this stage. Only a few videos on the original channel were saved<ref>https://archive.org/details/classic-uttp-videos</ref>, leaving the rest to become lost media. These videos were made in Windows Movie Maker 6 and usually just contained a random title about trolls, with a random image, with even more random music that came with the Video Editor.[[File:I Have Arrived|thumb|327x327px]]
