There's this great Tom and Jerry story where Jerry got hold of a bottle of 'invisibility potion'. He then had a great time teasing Tom while being invisible. Tom was so bewildered trying to figure out where Jerry was and what was going on. Jerry would pull Tom's tail or knock things over while invisible. This made for a really funny and engaging story as we could see Tom's frustration and confusion while Jerry had all the fun.
The story where Jerry dressed up as a ghost to scare Tom is quite memorable. Tom was already on edge trying to catch Jerry, and then this 'ghost' Jerry appeared and Tom freaked out completely. It's funny because Tom is usually the one trying to be intimidating.
A very memorable one is when Jerry had a little mouse friend over. Tom tried all sorts of elaborate plans to catch both of them. But Jerry and his friend turned the tables on Tom every time. They used Tom's own traps against him and made him look like a fool. This story is full of comical moments as the two mice outsmart Tom at every turn. For example, they redirected a bowling ball that Tom was using as a trap towards him. It was a riot to watch.
There may be a story where Tom Hopkins was giving a speech at a sales event. He started by tripping on the stage steps a little. But he quickly recovered and said 'Well, I just wanted to make sure you were all awake!'. His ability to turn an awkward moment into a humorous one and then carry on with his speech was really impressive and left a lasting impression on the audience.
I like the story where Tom was trying to use a fishing rod to catch Jerry. Jerry noticed and instead of running away, he grabbed the hook on the rod. Then he started to pull Tom around the room. Tom was so confused and couldn't figure out what was happening. In the end, Jerry let go and Tom flew across the room and landed in a flower pot. It was a really funny scene with Tom all tangled up in the fishing line.
Well, there was this time when Tom was trying to catch Jerry as usual. Jerry ran into a mouse hole and Tom, being determined, tried to squeeze in. But he got stuck. His big body was half in and half out of the hole. Jerry then took a feather and tickled Tom's nose. Tom sneezed and finally managed to get out, but he was so dizzy from all the sneezing that he couldn't chase Jerry properly.
Well, there was this time Jerry painted a false door on the wall. Tom, chasing Jerry in full speed, ran right into the wall thinking it was a real door. It shows Jerry's cleverness and Tom's gullibility, which always makes the story funny. Jerry always manages to outwit Tom in the most creative ways.
In the 'Tom and Jerry Christmas Story', the part where they interact with the other Christmas - themed characters is quite interesting. For example, if there are other little mice or even a Santa - like figure. Also, the chase scenes around the Christmas tree are always a highlight. Tom trying to catch Jerry as Jerry dashes around the tree, knocking over ornaments and causing chaos. It's a classic Tom and Jerry scenario but with a Christmas twist.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
The most memorable one might be when they went to a fair. They decided to ride the Ferris wheel. As they got to the top, Bob was a bit scared and held on tightly to Tom. Tom, being the joker he is, started shaking the cart a little bit, pretending it was about to fall. Bob screamed like a little girl and when they got off, Tom told everyone what had happened. Everyone had a good laugh at Bob's expense. Bob was a bit embarrassed at first but then he also started laughing about it. This story is memorable because it shows their different personalities, Bob's fearfulness and Tom's mischievousness.
The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.
