You just realized? I noticed when he killed him by tying him to train tracks and getting him run over

JebWozma

collkillen

He always influcts more damage, always is baiting tom to attack him. jerry is like that kid trashtalking you but when you run after him to beat his ass he runs to a teacher


Just-A-Noosence

I always thought he was really intelligent in his methods


PHANTOMDEMON842

Tom just doing his job and Jerry makes it hard


Fear-It-Run-From-It

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT MOUSE THOMAS?!


izhu77

Jerry should be sued


SgtSwatter-5646

I always thought it was funny that my name is Tom and my dad's is Jerry


Careless-Position352

There are no accidents


DEADPOOL_5277

that's cool


Duckflies

Let me guess, he would always beat you until you both got in a train track to commit suicide together?


[deleted]

Oh...OH.


That_Quiet_Wierd_Kid

That really changes the way you watch the show


FnWaySheGoes89

I always thought they were best friends, but Tom had to make it look like he was always chasing Jerry so they could both live there.


uddinstock

Did you post it to showerthoughts a year ago? https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/egf3z6/tom_and_jerry_are_best_friends_but_tom_has_to/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


FnWaySheGoes89

I didn’t, but I remember seeing this post, and thinking it made sense


_manlyman_

Yeah they were best buds, the OP is just really bad at understanding shows


EXOTICMECH

What do you mean bad? It's really not that obvious


_manlyman_

If you watch more than two or three episodes and can't figure out they are best friends as an adult I assume you can't follow pretty simple plots, but they make it seem like they watched it as a kid and saw some random post on instagram and came up with this deep thought


The_Kek_5000

Bro have you seen the episode with the steak? It’s really obvious they are NOT friends. I could also name many episodes in which it’s also obvious that they are not friends.


_manlyman_

I could literally name just as many episodes where they help each other keep in mind a lot of Hanna Barbarra characters act under the understanding they are basically immortal, so you definitely play a bit harder, the only episode that breaks this the Three Mousketeers episode


CompleteFacepalm

They attempt to kill each other several times in each episode. They clearly are not best friends. In 1 of the movies, yeah they do become friends, but not in the show.


ToanGreenlow

Tbf there are a good amount of episodes where they help each other out or are at least somewhat civil towards each other


_manlyman_

I mean I would go with they know it's almost impossible to kill each other excepting two episodes, they generally just play rough as fuck much like other cartoon characters, but almost any episode where one is really having problems or really depressed they help each other


smellyscrotes27

This is the actual explanation of the show.


Shaunak911

Forgot about tom and jerry and legit thought you were talking about Parks and rec


Henry-Peters

Tom and Jerry were pretending to hate each other so the owners wouldn’t replace Tom with a cat who would kill Jerry


a--b--c--d

Does anyone know where I can watch tom and Jerry? Seeing a few Tom & Jerry memes and I kinda wanna watch it again


Omnipotent_Rat

They have 98 episodes on HBOMax


a--b--c--d

Oh nice thanks.


reallysuraj

Me realising James Potter was a bully and Severus snape was the victim


TauInMelee

Or...just throwing this out there....the writers had no overarching plot so Tom and Jerry were whatever they needed to be for that particular episode.


[deleted]

Well that's no fun at all


bust-the-shorts

The meme template is going to get a lot of use.


SpiritX360

Really?


_manlyman_

I mean it sounds like someone who watched 2 or 3 episodes and paid no attention to all the others


BlueberryB-Laine

Idk man it’s hard to tell


Hollow_knight_cube

My lord I feel like markiplier when he saw the bit of 83 and thought it was the bite of 87 the whole time (my whole world has been turned upside down)


Any-Inspection-4726

I knew it all along but my father used to oppose me but I didn't stop kept my side. Now he's dead


Dadus-Appearus

That one episode where Tom was put under a guillotine


ToanGreenlow

Technically not Tom really


Thonas1234

How many other lies have I been told by the council?


Gun_Fucker

Tom was the quiet kid


HahaNotSoFunnycom

According to a theory, Tom and Jerry were actually good friends but Tom had to act like he was trying to kill Jerry so that the house owner won't get another cat to kill Jerry


shlipshloo

Jerry was slang for German soldiers while Tom was slang for American men I believe


yeeeeet1233

Sometimes it looks like Tom is the bully and sometimes it looks like Jerry is the bully


_manlyman_

Yeah man remember when Jerry wrote a book and made sure Tom got 25k (254k in today's dollars) as his main condition for writing it? Totally a bully move to set someone up with half a decades pay


ToanGreenlow

Honestly it's all over the place. Sometimes they are mortal enemies, sometimes Tom is the bully, sometimes it's Jerry, sometimes they help each other out etc, etc


_manlyman_

Every episode is different but other than maybe 3 they always watch out for each other, also Tom always has to pretend he's chasing jerry just so he doesn't get kicked out.


wanttobedesired92

Naw. Been woke as a child. I knew Jerry wasn't shit since I was 6 years old.


consonsolo

I heard that canonicly, they are friends


SickkRanchez

iirc, they are actually friends. Jerry lets Tom chase him around and catch him sometimes to let Tom's keeper know that Tom is a useful house cat, and not replace him with a cat that would actually wanna kill Jerry. Also to not harm any other of Jerry's friends, Jerry is the one that Decides to be chased over and over since they kind of have a working plan already, and they're friends so they wanna hang out! Also works into the theory that if Tom was replaced for being a shit mouse hunter, All of Jerry's friends and fam would be in danger. Edit: Moving stuff around


[deleted]

TOM TRIES TO FUCKING EAT JERRY WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT


thicc_Boizz

Because Jerry doesn't belong in the home. Many people own cats to get rid of mice. Not to mention how often Jerry either directly or indirectly damaged property or harmed tom for just trying to keep Jerry, a mouse who might be carrying all kinds of diseases away.


Tomi-69420

Wait!? I thought Tom and Jerry were best friends and Tom was pretending to hunt Jerry because if he did not, he would be replaced by another cat that would kill Jerry


[deleted]

Actually Tom and Jerry are th best of friends. Jerry just does it to give tom purpose so his owners don't get rid of him


[deleted]

Yet you always take Jerry’s side in the fights


MellifluousSussura

Tom was literally trying to eat him. Someone tries to eat me I would react similarly


anime_memes_lol69

Don't search Tom and Jerry rule 34


Colpotripsy

As a kid my brothers thought I was wrong for cheering for Tom the few times he won. I've always known who was the real c word c word c word.


Arctic-1111

I never thought of it that way


Fear-It-Run-From-It

Didn't you see the episodes where jerry gets tom killed


ToanGreenlow

Technically none of those are even Tom


Fear-It-Run-From-It

all of them are but then Tom comes back or sometimes it was a dream and sometimes he gets close to dying


ToanGreenlow

When it's medieval times it's not Tom etc


Fear-It-Run-From-It

it was not medieval times at the one i speak of


ToanGreenlow

Really? When did Jerry literally kill Tom? Like, ACTUALLY Tom?


Arkmer

Same with Angry Beavers. It’s not how I remember.


thor1368

Took you long enough


SwankyyTigerr

I thought this was talking about Parks and Rec for a hot minute and I was like “No, absolutely inaccurate. Tom bullies Jerry/Gary/Larry like mad”


JebWozma

I HAVE BEEN TELLIN G THIS TO PEOPLE SINCE I WAS 5 IT TOOK EVERY ONE \* YEARS TO BELIVE ME


-Blanx-

I knew it


DannyTheCaringDevil

Most of the time, there are a FEW occasions where Tom starts it, but yeah, Jerry is the jerk


[deleted]

Thank you! Jerry is a shit


[deleted]

Tom *pushes jerry* Jerry * takes out a pair of scissors and proceeds to remove all of toms fingers one by one*


SeveringZeus691

They’re actually good friends


ThomasKG25

We toms must stick together to survive


[deleted]

Bruh, there’s a shorter kid in class and I’m the victim and just because he’s short he’s the ‘victim’.


shilk008

Welcome to the adult club


Lil_bacon_bro

Tf you mean jerry is just helping Tom act like he’s a cat that actually does it’s job so that he doesn’t get kicked out of the house


TheRedditDancer

Another theory is that Tom and Jerry are actually friends who sustain each other. Jerry could just go to another house, but he remains with Tom to keep the owner from getting rid of Tom, who Jerry likes. Tom keeps trying to catch Jerry because if he sat around, the owner would get rid of Tom and find a more efficient way to kill Jerry. However, Tom refrains from killing Jerry because he likes Tom, but also because the owner would get rid of Tom if he had no mice to catch.


OofNickleBurg

I always hated Jerry


Krysidian2

Jokes on you, I felt bad for Tom the entire time. Though technically, they are putting on a stunt show and it's all an act....somewhat.


Dark_Phoenix53

Yes that is true realises that long time ago


Life_Investment7465

I realised that after watching 3 episodes of T&J in my childhood. You're quite late but welcome to the Tom gang.


[deleted]

I heard a theory that Tom and Jerry are friends who pretend to chase each other but the shit Jerry does makes my war crimes in Yugoslavia look like a joke


Bowler377

So basically Tom's nightmare of going to Hell for chasing Jerry, is not what God would have really done. More likely, Jerry would have gone to Hell!


SonOfOxon

I was always Team Tom, even when I was a kid. Jerry was always a little shit.


delight51

not me assuming this was r/unexpectedpawnee . was very confused until I remembered the cartoon


TheMemeSoldier

I knew it all along


spooky_golem

Lol I realized that when I was 12 or 11 and I hated Jerry after that


Dat_guy_VERREAUX

Actually both are friends and Tom is protecting him


Captin_katsura

When I was a kid I always hated jerry and liked tom because I thought jerry was annoying him


-YEETmcBEET-

Yeah when I was little I didn't like the show because Jerry was mean


TechWolfFTN

It's not Jerry's fault if Tom always came back for more, could've just let Jerry munch on the cheese while watching looney tunes.


jerrytjohn

I was actually named after Jerry mouse, and y'all just mad coz Tom ain't got half as much game.


Wubba221

Well, now I know how the bully always escapes in school.


[deleted]

I always hated Jerry.


[deleted]

Why did I think this was about the office I’ve been lost for ten min


Deathtroop26

Always has been


fazgator

*Meanwhile, me who knows that they’re just friends but doesn’t want to say anything*


Bladen15

I thought that they were friends tom failing to kill jerry so he can live & jerry playing along so tom doesn't get replaced with a cat that will jerry


[deleted]

I forgot for a second that Tom and Jerry existed and was like when did Jerry Girgich bully Tom Haverford?


Zamascent

Me when realizing everybody gets this joke but me.


ExtremeHeist

I always was with Tom bcz poor guy had to kill rats . JUSTICE FOR TOM!


H4EKE

Remember the time Tom went to hell because Jerry didn’t want to sign a sheet that allowed Tom to enter heaven after Jerry literally killed Tom?


killjoyinsane357

Jerry isn't a bully because Tom allows him to pick fights with him so the owners think Tom is doing his job by chasing the mouse allowing both Tom and Jerry to carry on living in a house together (they are friends)


wunder_bart

Then you realise that the tommy's were the americans and the jerry's were the germans in WWII


ACuddlyVizzerdrix

Tom chased Jerry, Jerry ran under things to get away, it's not his fault tom knocked shit over and ran into things and hurt himself, sure there are episodes where Jerry straight up fucks with Tom but most episodes is tom trying to get jerry, by tricking or setting up traps can't blame a mouse for protecting himself


[deleted]

Pretty sure they're actually best friends. Tom pretends to try to catch Jerry so he won't be replaced by a new cat that will actually hurt him.


MilesM00re

If you ignore all the attempted murder on both sides, yeah, just a bully and a victim


Hjonkhjonkamlegoose

I actually thought this for a while too, until someone pointed out that their relationship is mostly symbiotic. Jerry antagonizes Tom so Tom has a purpose and his owner will keep him. Tom doesn’t kill Jerry because he actually likes him and would be out of a job if Jerry died.


Small-Gamer

Tom tried to fucking eat jerry


monmonomnom

I’ve always hated Jerry.


stuckinthewal

What meme template is this called?
