Gen X skipped, again. As usual.

hactar42,

As a fellow gen-xer…whatever

whoisearth,

We had Eek the Cat. Superior in every way!

vic_rattlehead,

Certainly had a metal intro.

Aaaaaahhh!

Lmaydev,

Tom and Jerry have changed quite a bit over the years.

Humor never changes. Only the setting.

wowwoweowza,

Entirely rejected by GenX

Once again, Gen X is ignored/forgotten.

thepianistfroggollum,

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.

Mongostein,

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.

Daisyifyoudo,

Yeah… I’m on the older side of Gen X and I think I was 8 when the internet came out

Z3k3, (edited )

What are you counting as Internet I’m a younger x and I remember bulletin boards till maybe mid to late 90s

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

wowwoweowza,

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

intensely_human,

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

cynar,

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.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

…I didn’t know there was a new one.

rockerface,

Please continue doing so

HeartyOfGlass,

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

Humor based on pain will always be timeless.

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

rockerface,

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

GrammatonCleric,
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

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

ChicoSuave,

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.

intensely_human,

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

GrammatonCleric,
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

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

MindSkipperBro12,

We must’ve watched different shows then.

GrammatonCleric,
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

There are literally two versions of the OG cartoons.

Buffaloaf,

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

Kiosade,

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

  • Kiosade,

    That’s just it, I think the show creators saw those people as “sub-humans” or whatever. Truly disgusting.

    MrGerrit,

    They’re cannibal cats.

    Jerry got chased by a cannibal mouse at the end.

    PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

    wow
