![]() (Obviously, there's a kernel of accuracy behind The Simpsons' extremely bloody Tom and Jerry parody, Itchy and Scratchy.) It's all played for laughs, but Tom and Jerry's unexplainable motives could prove confusing for younger viewers. Other weapons such as guns, knives, and saws make regular appearances. Examples include Tom hitting a dog with a brick, Jerry blinding Tom with toothpaste, and Pecos the mouse (a guest character) using an ax to tear down a door. Mild sexual innuendoes occasionally pop up, too in one episode, Jerry uses a bra as a parachute to escape explosives.īut parents should be most concerned about the show's constant violence. In the mouse trap episode, for example, Tom gives Jerry a cigarette before his supposed death, and Tom daydreams about smoking a Cuban cigar once Jerry is dead. In most episodes, Tom and Jerry casually smoke some form of tobacco. But that doesn't mean it's perfect for young viewers. Tom and Jerry is inarguably one of the most celebrated cartoons of all time.
