About

Tom Shoots Himself refers to an image of fictional animated character Tom putting a double barrel shotgun into animated character Jerry's mouse hole but does not realize that the rife is poking out of another hole, pointing directly at his head. It is frequently photoshopped and used in object labeling memes to comment on a particular subject that is unknowingly doing harm to themselves.

Origin

On November 23rd, 1944, the Tom and Jerry animated short film Mouse Trouble was released in the United States. In the film, Tom puts a shotgun in Jerry's mouse hole. The shotgun then wraps around and pushes through the wall to point directly at Tom's head (shown below).[1]

They captioned the post "online, notification pops and says that Felris just uploaded the new BT comp Aw **** son, I can't wait to read this ****, maybe I'll even be the first to come up with a really clever comme- where the **** did all these time travelers come from."

The following year, on August 26th, 2017, Redditor [5] Lord_Treasurer posted the picture on the /r/neoliberal subreddit with the caption "Rare photo of white working-class man voting for Trump (Nov 2016, colorized)." The post (shown below, center) received more than 15,000 points (75% upvoted) and 1,100 comments in less than one year.

On September 29th, 2017, the English tabloid the Daily Mail[4] published an object labeled variation of the image in the article "Busted!
