About
Tom and Jerry Hired Goons refers to an exploitable reaction image from an episode of the animated series Tom and Jerry in which Tom points a team of brutish cats in the direction of an object which they'll fight. In the exploitables, the goons are sometimes labeled differently to match the poster's provided caption.
Origin
The image comes from the Tom and Jerry short "Jerry's Cousin."[1][2] Tom hires a team of goons to beat up Jerry's extremely strong cousin, and they fail. The image is of Tom pointing the goons in the direction of Jerry's cousin (shown below).
Spread
On September 18th, 2017, /r/dankmemes user thewhaleygame[3] uploaded the image with the caption "when you tell your boys your meme got stolen and they want to beat up the guy." The post gained 192 points (shown below).
This started a surge in posts using the format on the subreddit. As of September 20th, the most popular example with over 9,700 points references communism[4] (shown below, left). Another post blending several of the subreddit's in-jokes such as respect women and hating Buzzfeed gained over 720 points (shown below, right).
