100% boomer humor. The jokes are so dated, they literally changed the housekeepers voice to sound less racist than the original version.
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.
We must’ve watched different shows then.
There are literally two versions of the OG cartoons.
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 😨

They’re cannibal cats.
Jerry got chased by a cannibal mouse at the end.
That’s just it, I think the show creators saw those people as “sub-humans” or whatever. Truly disgusting.

wow
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.
