minus-squareGrammaton Clericlink33•1 year ago100% boomer humor. The jokes are so dated, they literally changed the housekeepers voice to sound less racist than the original version.
minus-squarerockerface 🇺🇦linkfedilink9•1 year agoThe best jokes are the ones that don’t need the voice though
minus-squareGrammaton Clericlink4•1 year agoThat’s just slapstick humor, something all cartoons back then had.
minus-square@ChicoSuavelink0•1 year agoWe 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.
minus-square@Buffaloaflink8•1 year agoYeah there was a lot of racism, at least in the beginning. e.g.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoWow I thought Jerry dressed up in blackface was the shocking part, then it showed the actual islanders… they didnt even look human 😨
minus-squareMrGerritlinkfedilink3•1 year agoThey’re cannibal cats. Jerry got chased by a cannibal mouse at the end.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•1 year agoThat’s just it, I think the show creators saw those people as “sub-humans” or whatever. Truly disgusting.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-3•1 year agoBecause as we all know, you can identify racists by the sound of their voice.
minus-squareGrammaton Clericlink8•1 year agoNo, the voice was a racist depiction of a black housekeeper. Read up on it, or find the old versions.
