History WesternAnimation / TheTomAndJerryShow2014

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Doubles as ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine of sorts; one time Rick tried using a MouseTrap to catch Jerry. However, the mouse [[AmusingInjury tricks him into getting his hand stuck in it]].

* {{Facepalm}}: Jerry facepalms in "Holed-Up".

''The Tom and Jerry Show'' is a 2014 animated television series produced by Creator/WarnerBros Animation and Renegade Animation, based on the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' characters and theatrical cartoon series created by [[Creator/HannaBarbera William Hanna and Joseph Barbera]] in [[TheForties 1940]]. It had its world premiere on the Canadian channel Teletoon on March 1, 2014, and premiered on Creator/CartoonNetwork in the United States on April 9, 2014.

* IKissYourFoot: The titular Tom kisses Ginger's shoe several times in "Birds of a Feather".

* ImprovisedLockpick: Tom once managed to unlock a cage he and Spike were in via using one of his claws.

* OnlySaneMan: Keeping with his characterization from the later theatrical shorts, in times of crisis, Spike generally tries the hardest of Rick and Ginger's pets to keep a level head and solve whatever problem is at hand. In episodes like "Cruising For A Bruising", "Pipeline" and "Hunger Strikes", he's the glue holding the household together.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In "Bringing Down the House", Rick wastes some time insulting Tom.

* CrocodileTears: A couple times in "Dinner Swerved" have Tom pretend to cry.

Following the release of [[Film/TomAndJerry2021 the 2021 film]], it ended on February 19, 2021 after five seasons and seven years on air, though a follow up series using the same animation, ''Tom and Jerry in UsefulNotes/NewYork'', was announced within the same year.

* BlowingARaspberry: In the first episode, for example, [[TheGadfly Jerry]] mocks [[ArchEnemy Tom]] via blowing several strawberries at him.

%%* FemmeFatale: In a detective episode called “Feline Fatale”, Toodles plays this {{trope}} straight.

* LemonyNarrator: The same guys mentioned above.

* MouseTrap: In one episode, Rick attempted using a mouse trap to catch [[ResourcefulRodent Jerry]], which [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfires]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mr Bedford in The Royal Treatment.

* VisualPun: The "Cat & Mouse Detective" shorts are full of these, most especially in "The Art of the Deal".

* MouseTrap: In one episode, Rick attempted using a mouse trap to catch [[ResourcefulRodent Jerry]].

* JerkAss: This show has some in the form of some of the owners the duo end up with. To name an couple:
** [[TookALevelInJerkass After season 2,]] Ginger has become this harshly berating and yelling at Tom even when he's litterly doing nothing wrong.
** Tom's owner of Downtown Abbey Cates tends to be this. Not only will Cates display [[NoSympathy no care when Tom is clearly overworked,]]he'll also often belittle and speak harshly at Tom even when it wasn't his fault. "To Kick an Butler" and "The Great Catsby" are very good examples of this.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original theatrical shorts, when it comes to Spike, Tom would rather use backhanded tactics to deal with him due to the difference in power dominance. In this show, however, Tom has become less likely to deal with Spike's stuff and is more likley to fight and deal with him head-on. However, this may be because of AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul. On occasion, Tom ends up getting the better of Spike by the end of an episode and is more likley to best Jerry than before. He's also more competent and stronger than Butch this time around who was previously a rival that often got the better of him in the original shorts.

* BlowingARaspberry: In the first episode, [[TheGadfly Jerry]] mocks Tom via blowing several strawberries at him.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Both Jerry and Tuffy (who are both guys) each [[{{Pun}} squeak]] out screams in "What a Pain".

* BicepKiss: Apparently PlayedForLaughs; Jerry proudly kisses his [[ToonPhysics suddenly-beefy]] bicep upon learning Rick and Ginger were [[spoiler:apparently]] going to replacing [[ArchEnemy Tom]], which he knew was his doing.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Tom, Jerry, Spike, and Tuffy's [[ThePlan plan]] to make [[CatsAreMean Butch]] stop being a {{Jerkass}} and instead a NiceGuy instead does work...only for him to end up being too nice.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: An exterminator once dismissed two mice as merely being "wittle... cowards". Unfortunately for him, said mice were [[ResourcefulRodent Jerry]] and [[BadassAdorable Tuffy]]. Also, Rick once said this before being outsmarted by the former.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:The titular [[ResourcefulRodent Jerry]] tries to get CapturedOnPurpose by [[BuffoonishTomcat Tom]] several times in "Out with the Old" to change Rick and Ginger's minds about having a more dangerous mouse-catcher replace him. However, while he eventually succeeded with the lattermost action, it was ultimately pointless; it was soon revealed afterwards that Ric and ringer weren't considering replacing Tom, they were going to replace a cat-like doorstopper instead. Therefore, he got CapturedOnPurpose by his ArchEnemy for nothing]].

** Jerry and Nibbles sometimes antagonize Spike and Tyke intentionally this time around. Examples of this include "Slinging in the rain" and "Someone’s in the Kitchen with Mynah".

* AdaptationalJerkass: Spike in the original shorts mostly only attacked Tom when either Tom provoked it, he was hurting Jerry, Spike was a guard dog guarding a place, or Spike thought Tom did something but it was actually Jerry but he didn't know that. In this show, he acts more like a mean, aggressive bully towards Tom and even Jerry at times, attacking them frequently even unprovoked, like in "Dental case", "Tic Tac Do'h" and "Baby Blues". He is also shown to have more of an ego towards himself and dogs, like in "Picture Perfect", "Anger Mismanagement", and in the aforementioned "Tic Tac Do'h" and "Baby Blues". He is not always like this though and can still be likeable (like in "Spike Gets Skooled").
** Jerry and Nibbles sometimes antagonise Spike and Tyke intentionally this time around. Examples of this include "Slinging in the rain" and "Someone’s in the Kitchen with Mynah".

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Spike in the original shorts seemed blissfully unaware of when Jerry would take advantage of him to defeat Tom. In this show however, Spike often finds out if Jerry uses him to mess with his rival and is more aware of Jerry's role in disturbing him and Tyke. This often results in him brutalising ''both'' Tom and Jerry or Spike teaming up with Tom to turn on Jerry if he knows Jerry is completely in the wrong.

** Spike himself is one in Pranks for Nothin as he causes [[TheChessmaster Tom and Jerry to fight each other over the mouse and cat thinking the other was going to prank them.]]

* BicepKiss: Apparently PlayedForLaughs; Jerry proudly kisses his [[ToonPhysics suddenly-beefy]] bicep upon learning Rick and Ginger were going to replacing [[ArchEnemy Tom]], which was his doing.

* BlowingARaspberry: In the first episode, [[TheGadfly Jerry]] mocks Tom via blowing a strawberry at him.

* MouseTrap: In one episode, Rick tried use a mouse trap to catch [[ResourcefulRodent Jerry]].

* CryCute: Male example in "Santa's Little Helpers"; [[CatsAreMean Tom]] gets [[PuppyDogEyes Puppy Dog-like Eyes]] and they start welling with tears [[ItMakesSenseInContext when Tuffy reads out the part of a letter to him]]. It's fairly adorable.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Twice in "Out with the old.

* TheDitz: Also Meathead who is on the DumbIsGood side of characters in the show with [[MeaningfulName his name implying his stupidity]], and he is a lot more on the KindheartedSimpleton side of cats compared to others like [[ButtMonkey Tom]] and [[{{Jerkass}} Butch.]]

** Also Newt the newt in "The Witches" shorts.

%%* FemmeFatale: In a detective episode called “Feline Fatale”, Toodles plays this trope straight.

* {{Jerkass Ball}}: Tyke was a brat who was an extremely poor loser who beat people up when they beat him solely in “Tic Tac Do’h”, despite the fact that in every other episode and the whole franchise he was simply a nice cute puppy.

** Jerry receives no karma for getting Tom into trouble in Unwelcome Home.

* ShoutOut: In "The Paper Airplane Chase," the music plays a familiar first few notes when Tom runs into a [[WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker woodpecker]].
** In one episode, Tom destroys a meteor with what is essentially an electrical powered [[Manga/DragonBall kamehameha.]]

He is not always like this though and can still be likeable (like in "Spike Gets Skooled").

** Mostly downplayed with Jerry.
Due to Spike being made aware of Jerry's role is his and Tyke's harassment, Jerry is shown having to rely much more on his wits to avoid Tom, as he can no longer rely on Spike as a guaranteed source of protection.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In season 1 Ginger was motherly, kind to Tom and almost always defended him. Starting with season 3 however (save for Hamster Hoopla), she has become more harsh and annoying, and is more mean towards Tom when he screws up (the fact is it's actually mostly Jerry's fault half the time makes it worse), and is far less motherly towards him, often referring to him as a "lazy cat". She's at her worst in "Unwelcome Home" where she says (albeit under her breath) "Why didn't I just get a goldfish?", which Tom had managed to hear and it causes him to visibly look heartbroken. However, she does start to revert back to her motherly side towards Tom after the aforementioned "Unwelcome Home" (possibly due to him leaving in that episode). This is best shown in episodes such as "The Devil you know", "My Buddy Guard", "Tick Tick Tick" and "Curiosity thrilled the cat".
