The Brothers Carry-Mouse-Off
0 views
Tom tries setting out things to lure Jerry into a trap, but Jerry, riding on Tom, picks them up as Tom puts them down. Tom chases Jerry upstairs, where he runs out a door to the outside. Tom puts on a lady mouse costume and plays the ukulele and is suddenly surrounded by dozens of amorous mice then hungry cats.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
A Chuck Jones entry with Jerry riding on Tom and collecting the bait as fast as it is laid. Jones liked gags where the victim is unknowingly carrying the cause of his own defeat, and it is a genuinely elegant idea for a series usually powered by blunt force.
