Timeless humor

Once again, Gen X is ignored/forgotten.

We had better things to do than watch TV. We were all being beaten and molested by relatives.

Who chased us around with rolling pins trying to bake us into pies

Also the silent generation, since Tom & Jerry came out in 1940.

They can speak up for themselves!

You guys kinda are responsible for the internet, and that kinda ruined society, so…

The internet that we invented was a good internet. It’s only later on it became a place for misinformation and adverts.

We see corporations fuck up this world more and more every day and yet the powers that be just let it happen. I dunno man. This capitalist democracy thing just ain’t working. Maybe it’s time to try something else.

Gen X skipped, again. As usual.

As a fellow gen-xer…whatever

We had Eek the Cat. Superior in every way!

Certainly had a metal intro.

Aaaaaahhh!

I made the mistake of watching the new Tom and Jerry. Let’s just say, I’d advise you forget it even exists. There is no new Tom and Jerry.

…I didn’t know there was a new one.

Please continue doing so

As long as a copyright makes money, there’ll always be reboots.

100% boomer humor. The jokes are so dated, they literally changed the housekeepers voice to sound less racist than the original version.

The best jokes are the ones that don’t need the voice though

That’s just slapstick humor, something all cartoons back then had.

We know Tom and Jerry because it holds up and is funny now. Look at the other cartoons and see the quality difference. They are unfunny by today’s standards and probably not great when they were released.

Yeah there was a lot of racism, at least in the beginning. e.g.

Wow I thought Jerry dressed up in blackface was the shocking part, then it showed the actual islanders… they didnt even look human 😨

We must’ve watched different shows then.

There are literally two versions of the OG cartoons.

Because as we all know, you can identify racists by the sound of their voice.

No, the voice was a racist depiction of a black housekeeper. Read up on it, or find the old versions.

Humor based on pain will always be timeless.
