Started watching some 50/60s Tom and Jerry episodes, and I gotta say, I've never genuinely laughed so much at a cartoon as much as I do with Tom and Jerry. It's just so good and gets me every single time.

Do you howl-laugh at them like some cinematic mafia henchman who is watching cartoons while guarding a hostage
i was smoking a cigar and dropped it on my lap while howling
OOOWIE OWWIIE OH HOHOHOHOHO
For me, it's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I heard that in his voice
Fun fact: that iconic scream was done by Bill Hanna himself.
I've never emphasised with a character in any form of media more than I do with Tom
what the fck
iIrc they are getting a beating by jerry or the dog with a 4x4 plank
Tom and Jerry is really a cut above, I’m talking in terms of animation. It’s just the best animated cartoon of all time, that’s all. You wonder how Hanna barbera did it because usually their cartoons are extremely cheaply animated (not that I mind, the voices and plots are hilarious). But Tom and jerry is something else imo
did they even have color theatres in the 1940s?
the wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind were both in color and came out in '39.
but how? I assume people watched them in black and white in theatres?
holy shit you're dumb.
they were never made in black and white. movie theaters would have color copies of the film.
superman is the original goyslop
the further back in time you go the better the animation is, also because those were big budget cartoons meant for theatrical release
it was from the era before hanna barberraslop. they economized shit in the 50s and 60s similar to how anime was good in the 80s and 90s then heavily economized using digital art by the 21st century until now super looks like absolute DOGSHIT compared to dragon ball and even late era dragon ball Z, even GT.
Basically they just try to figure out what the absolute minimum quality people are willing to accept is and go with that. Shit like the Flintstones, Jetsons, the 50 billion one season hanna barberaslop cartoons had tiny production costs and most kids didn't care that the animation was shit compared to tom & jerry and early looney tunes.
What's your favorite so far?
Gotta say, Tom is rocking that look. Hope he gets that fukin mouse
For me, it's when Tom plays Liszt and the animators actually went to the effort of ensuring he hit the right keys:

this has been deboonked
How does it compare to Steven Universe?
I went back and watched some Tex Avery stuff recently. The amount I laughed now compared to when I was a kid was much higher. I think I'm just dumber but others have pointed out that they were made by adults in the first place. You know which cartoon I appreciate even more these days? The ones where they would put real actors from that era or the eras the artists grew up in. That and that daffy frick cartoon where he fights a bunch of cartoon mobsters. Neon Noodle ect.
>daffy frick cartoon where he fights a bunch of cartoon mobsters. Neon Noodle ect.
I think that was a paorady of Dick Tracy wasn't it? They also do a parody of Buck Rogers.
Those slice of americana ones with the cozy narrator and little to no dialogue.
One talked about farms another the home of tomorrow. Seriously all the old shit ia good.
One lemon meringe pie
>I'LL RRRRRUB YOU OUT, SEE? I'LL RRRRRB YOU OUT!
>It's fantastic! And furthermore, it's unbelieva-
>-ble
That one where Jerry keeps setting up Tom to make him believe he's trying to kill himself goes fricking hard. Dark as shit.
It's amazing how such a simple gag can be so funny.
It's so fricking good.
I laughed way harder than I should.
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Which one?
1945 Tom and Jerry
always nice to see opinions you've held for decades discovered by other anons
I’d say 1950 is most iconic, but 1942 is my favorite.
What was up with the 63-67 space/sci-fi era?
50's run
EVERYTHING after the 50s is complete crap. Gene Deitch and then Chuck Jones ruined Tom & Jerry forever.
If we're talking designs, 50s, easy. That's what Tom and Jerry looks like and should always look like. Everything else is shit.
1950
63 was the best for me
As a kid I never liked the Chuck Jones stuff. It always felt off to me.
Childhood is sympathising with Jerry. Adulthood is knowing Tom was right to catch the little rat.
OI NOIGEL GET IN 'ERE
IT'S THE cat N MOISE ON THE TELLY!
OL' JERRY
HAHA CHEESE TO MEET YE LAD HAHA
NOIGEL LOOK AT THE OL PUSS IN BOOT 'AVIN A LEG STRETCH

I remember seeing this as a kid and not getting that they were supposed to be Black folks, they looked more like some kinda clown to me, it made no sense and was kinda unsettling.
Pure kino
>tom finally catches jerry
>doesnt even kill him just keeps him around and uses him for mundane things
>this happens several times
based
The hunter is nothing without the hunt.
tom would lose his job if he actually gets rid of jerry
>rolls dart
>shoots it
>one pull
>smoke spells out HOWDY
the dont make em like they used to
canadian detected
>Howdy b***h
thanks
That's basically my dad. Rip him. No I don't mean he was a cat. Used sort of cowboy boots and rolled cigarettes like norwegian sailor on boat.
Jigakino. Also now that I remember that white cat always looked like a giant mouse to me when I was a kid, it was confusing.
>tom is in love with the white giant version of jerry

That's actually really dark.
What episode is this from?
The last episode.

kek
It was funny as a kid.
Its not funny now.
It was a different time
Whats wild is these were how they aired on cartoon network
the common Black was less fragile back in the day
Nah its always the white people that ruin it so they are above everyone else.
true, but nowdays the Black runs to the twitter mob for support
Only because the israelite and their puppet whites brainwashed them to do so
of course
Indeed.
Fricking lol. Slightly inaproppriate. A cat smoking cigars.
>comfy thread about comfy tom and jerry
>HAHA LMAO HERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WERE LIKE TOTALLY RACIST LOL
Chuds are so tiresome.
natural reaction to libtarts pissing and crying and shidding over painted faces
Can never have a comfy Bad News Bears discussion because of this. The movie has so much more to it than one foul mouthed kid
Tanner is based and frick any israelites hispanics Black persona or c**ts that got a problem with him
Ywnbaw
i hate tom and jerry
Nu Pogodi > Tom and Jerry
Tom is a white colonizer and Jerry represents POC. Tom has the upper hand (privilege) but he always fails because he lacks the culture and power that POC have.
Watch all the old shit from everyone yes even disney
>Disney
It's crazy how Daffy Duck just absolutely mogs everything else in their filmography. Der Fuhrer's Face is a masterpiece of wartime comedy (not as great as Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips or Tokio Jokio but still)
>I wrote Daffy instead on Donald
Fricking hell
I've some old folder of so called censored cartoons or something. Very low quality. Probably all on youtube these days. Is that daffy der fuhrer commando or stupor duck? Or something other
see
I meant Donald Duck's Der Fuehrer's Face
Ah sorry didn't notice. Was too busy snorting bacon and eggs
The bees in the mouth gag always feels weirdly lynchian to me, and I can't explain why.
I still laugh at it almost every time.
try some Foghorn Leghorn
Good thread. Also, wtf happened to American animation? It went from being some of the best the world has ever seen decades ago to some of the worst the world has ever seen today?
>jerry
makes fun of chinese people
>also jerry
hates hitler
the duality of man
Maybe try some Pink Panther and Road Runner next.
for me, it's the family guy
>Mouse makes cat hurt for the 6383683638th time
Wow yeah grandpa.. so... Funny... Zzzz...
I'm a 30 year old boomer and there's real artistry behind mouse makes cat hurt
>Wow yeah grandpa.. so... Funny... Zzzz...
they were both the butt of the joke often so alls fair in love and war and all that
One thing I really like about Tom and Jerry is that while Jerry always wins out in the end, Tom usually gets a fair amount of hits in as well, using his size to his advantage. The episode where Jerry is fricking with Tom while he’s conducting an orchestra is a great example. I love Bugs Bunny and shit like that too but those are always completely one sided from beginning to end.
Bugs Bunny is Nietzsche's Will to Power made manifest in a cartoon rabbit. Tom and Jerry are manifestations of yin and yang reflected in a cat and mouse.
What are your thoughts on daffy duck?
He is emblematic of pessimism
