History Awesome / TomAndJerryTales

* In ''Beefcake Tom'', the slovenly Tom suddenly gaining muscles form chasing Jerry around a gym, throwing weights at him an riding an exercise bike. In just a few minutes, he looks like a genuine bodybuilder, is able to outrun Jerry easily, and rather than eat him, mockingly uses him as a barbell after catching him.
* In ''Beach Bully Bingo'', Tom and Jerry agree to a truce in order to spend a day at the beach, when Spike and Butch show up, and bully them around. They end up pitting the two bullies against each other , causing them to get into all kinds of fights, ending when they start beating themselves with sand sculptures (Butch gets an awesome moment of his own there when Spike tries to lift up an ocean liner sand sculpture to smack him with, hitting the anchor so it falls down on Spike, hitting him and causing him to fall and then have the sand ship fall on him). Once the two are finally worn-down (and being attacked by an angry octopus), they realize that Tom and Jerry have taken the beach (and the interest of the bikini-clad cat and mouse that Spike and Butch had shown interest in) for themselves.

** Jerry exposing the real tiger (with the help of the elephant and its trunk) at the end.

* While Tom's medieval sheriff character in ''The Itch'' is somewhat of a CorruptHick, he does have a nice side of him. This is best shown when tripping a thief who'd just robbed Jerry and was running away, causing him to go rolling into a cage.

* In the opening credits, there's a nice scene where Jerry nimbly stabs the cheese out of three mouse traps in dancing motion, then tosses them into the air and catches them in his mouth one by one as they come down.

* In ''Jackhammered Cat'' Tom gets two; first when he finally simply tries bribing Spies with a bone, and it works, and then when he does a bullfighter rotueicn to lure Spike into getting pounded by a machine.

* In ''Beach Bully Bingo'', Tom and Jerry agree to a truce in order to spend a day at the beach, when Spike and Butch show up, and bully them around. They end up pitting the two bullies against each other , causing them to get into all kinds of fights, ending when they start beaning themselves with sand sculptures (Butch gets an awesome moment of his own there when Spike tries to life up an ocean liner sand sculpture to smack him with, hitting the anchor so it falls down on Spike, hitting him and causing him to fall and then have the sand ship fall on him). Once the two are finally worn-down (and being attacked by an angry octopus), they realize that Tom and Jerry have taken the beach (and the interest of the bikini-clad cat and mouse that Spike and Butch had shown interest in) for themselves.

* Tom and Jerry's teaming up to lure the robot that replaced Tom into a short-circuiting trap, and pretend it's gone loco for some EngineeredHeroics. The robot itself gets a nice moment for how fast and casually it catches Jerry, blocking off his mouse hole, then swallowing him and essentially pooping him out of its but, sealed in a can which is then tossed out with the trash.
* In ''Beefcake Tom'', the slovenly Tom suddenly gaining muscles form chasing Jerry around a gym, throwing weights at him an riding an exercise bike. In just a few minutes, he looks like a genuine bodybuilder, is able to outrun Jerry easily, and rather than eat him, mockingly uses him as a barbel after catching him.

* Both Tom ''and'' Jerry get their awesome moments in "League of Cats". Tom for joining a gang called the ''League of Cats'' who instead of just chasing mice, they '''''gang up on them''''', and also for almost doing Jerry in at the first time he gets ganged up. Jerry gets his for actually ''escaping'' them and starting up his own gang called ''League Of Mice'' and fighting back the ''League of Cats''. The best part of it was the musical at the end, when both gangs sing on how they are better than the other gang, but however, in Jerry's case, his members actually actually snap their fingers and more mice come out onto the field, outnumbering the league of cats ''by'' '''''storm''''', then proceeding to '''''beat them up and win the group over.'''''

* Spike in the role of TheSheriff in the WildWest episode ''24 Karat Cat'', keeping Tom and Butch from-claim jumping Jerry's prospecting, and at one point grabbing Butch so hard his eyes seem to pop out of his head, then helping fool the two cats with a decoy gold shipment.

* Tom stealing a dragons fire (after being swallowed alive by the dragon and breathing it at Jerry in ''Fire Breathing Tom Cat'' only for Jerry to steal if from him when Tom tries to swallow him.

* The virtual battle when Tom and Jerry get sucked into the computer (and inadvertently make cyber-duplicates of themselves) in ''Digital Dilemma'' feels like something out of ''Franchise/{{Tron}}}'', with energy balls, and Jerry destroying Tom's duplicates by tricking the original Tom into slapping his head trying to get him, causing all of the cyber Tom's to do the same thing.

* Droopy winning the surfing contest [[spoiler: due to a TwinSwitch with his brother between heats]] in ''Endless Bummer''.

* ''Abracadumb'', the episode where the two of them are stage magicians, has some pretty staggering tricks from Tom in the first half of the episode (pulling a cow out of his top hat, turning his handkerchief into a dove after having been covering a prop with it, doing a shell game trick where he pretends to come up empty then pulls out food like a watermelon and a turkey from under the shells). Once he and Jerry start clashing (due to Jerry eating a block of cheese Tom had enlarged for his act), Tom goes after him with magic, and Jerry returns the favor; dropping sandbags on Tom's head to make a large bruise grow, using a magically conjured hammer to slam the bruise back into Tom's skull and smacking at him with a magic baseball bat which Tom chops in half with a [[ChainsawGood Magic chainsaw]]. They drop pianos and elephants on each other then Jerry seriously rearranges Tom in a vanishing cabinet as his LovelyAssistant tries to salvage the trick and get him back to normal. Then, as the show ends [[spoiler: Tom is just about to eat Jerry when the thunderous applause [[AllPartOfTheShow of the oblivious audience]] echoes what the TV viewers have been feeling, and cause Tom and Jerry to stop fighting, and bow to the audience ([[BenevolentBoss with Tom summoning his assistant to do so as well]]), and actually [[DefeatEqualsFriendship start performing magic together, with equal billing]]]].

* While Tom's medieval sheriff character in ''The Itch'' is somewhat of a CorruptHick, he does have a nice seen of tripping a thief who'd just robbed Jerry and was running away, causing him to go rolling into a cage.

* Similar to the original shorts, any of the rare occasions [[TeamRocketWins Tom actually wins]] are rather cathartic to watch. Perhaps the most stand out example is his victory in "Little Big Mouse", where, after catching on to [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute the smaller cuter Jerry always getting away with stealing food]], he hires an even smaller cuter ant to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard steal it back and put Jerry through the works]].

* The back and forth catapulting of the snow boulder in ''Snow Brawl''. Later in the episode, after Tom's snowcat is brought to life by a magic hat and starts acting like his soldier, there's an awesome scene of it TakingTheBullet for him when Jerry sends some snowballs flying. And lets now forget the reveal of Tom building up that Snowman into something practically Kaiju-sized before Jerry knocks it back down to normal with a snow bomb. By the end of the episode they both have armies of snow/mice cat marching towards each other and firing snow cannons to the point where it gets bad enough that both Tom and Jerry decide ScrewThisImOuttaHere, and just when they think it's over, Tom kept one last magic hat and uses it to conjure a snowball to whack Jerry in the middle of summer.

* In ''Kangadoofus'' there's the scene where the Mama Kangaroo (and later one of the babies) slaps Tom with her tail, then punches ihim in the face several times, before sending him flying with a kick. That same episode has the kangaroo stop a boomerang in midair just by yelling out and scolding it.

* Jerry zipping around with his new super speed in ''Catch me Though You Can't'' wheel Tom goes after him with a hot air ballon and laser.

* In ''Jackhammered Cat'' Tom gets two; first when he finally simply tries bribing Spies with a bone, and it works, and then when he dos a bullfighter rotueicn to lure Spike into getting pounded by a machine.

* The way Spike plows through all of Tom and Jerry's obstacles on his sled in ''Doggone Hill Hog.'' Spike is the bad gy of the episode, but he sure looks impressive doing it.

** From the same episode, Jerry saving the polar bear from being yanked over a waterfall.
