"Sorry Safari" and "High Steaks" just really show that no one was trying at all. Tom just gets to be the one getting shit on for no reason (unless he did something to deserve his comeuppance like in "Landing Stripling" or "Buddies Thicker Than Water"), Jerry ruins poor Tom's ways of minding his own business by constantly distracting him from his time to enjoy and have fun on his day where he isn't doing much, and yet, we get the fatass who just abuses Tom. where do I ever begin? You've had to try pretty fucking hard, to make me not bother watching any other episode from that era. Honorable Mentions: Original era (1940-1958), Tom and Jerry Tales, and The Tom and Jerry Show (2014).ĭespised era: Gene Deitch era (1960-1962) - Holy hell. This era is great, and still holds as true to Tom and Jerry for it's theme tune, well drawn Looney Tunes influenced characters, amazing writing, charming slapstick, the list goes on. Isn't that talent or what? Just as talented as how Carlo Bonnomi from Pingu voiced all the characters from the first four seasons.
The animation reminds you almost of Looney Tunes a bit, and I couldn't believe that some episodes have the legendary man of a thousand voices (Mel Blanc) and the woman of a thousand voices (June Foray) to voice characters in a couple of cartoons. Keep him removed for all eternity!įavorite era: Chuck Jones era (1963-1967) - A lot of my favorite cartoons came from that era like "Cat and Dupli-Cat", "The Year of the Mouse", "Love Me, Love My Mouse", etc. I am glad they never brought him back and replaced him with a new owner by the time "Buddies Thicker Than Water" came out because he was that mean, abusive, violent, and would just show how cruel he is, and I don't think he will ever come back, so thank fuck for his riddance. He doesn't get his comeuppance in "High Steaks" or any episode he appears in the notorious Gene Deitch era, he causes Tom a lot of shit like how Jerry was when Gene Deitch just flanderized his character from an innocent a cheeky and troublesome mouse to an asshole who never gets caught for his antics or receives any repercussions at all.
The only time we see him get his comeuppance was in the end of "Sorry Safari", that's it.
One of my biggest issues is that he is just so cruel and horrid to Tom, no matter how out of his control his antics are. Honorable Mentions: Spike, Tom, Quacker, Butch, Tyke, Mammy Two Shoes, etc.ĭespised character: The Fat Man - Why do I call this guy the Fat Man instead of Tom's abusive owner or Clint Cobbler (if you can even call him Clint)? Well, he himself I think is a right twat.
I will be discussing the things on this controversy meme centered on Tom and Jerry.įavorite character: Jerry - Who doesn't like an innocent little mouse who always knows how to get back at Tom? Heck, it is one of my favorite cartoons from Hanna-Barbera, and it was thus the earliest one, even though it was made by MGM in the time back when the franchise started in the 1940s. Along with Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Thomas the Tank Engine, The Simpsons, Pokemon, Ren and Stimpy, Looney Tunes, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Pingu, Bob the Builder (original 1998-2012 show), and Charlie Brown, I absolutely love Tom and Jerry.
