(Narrated By Sunny Side Up from Lalaloopsy)
Do you remember the 2014 show The Tom and Jerry Show? If not, let me explain:
Like Dorothy and her friends said, it's a 2014 television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Renegade Animation, based on the Tom and Jerry characters created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940. However, there was something about one of the characters that would change my perspective on the series... and it was one of the characters: Spike Bulldog. Here's my tale.
So you see, I was walking with the other Lalaloopsies and my sister Berry along with Dorothy and her friends and her pet Toto along the so-called Yellow Road.
But, Toto see something and started barking.
"What did you see, Toto?" Dorothy asked.
We went to see what Toto had watched, but... when we saw it, well, it was a DVD I saw by chance.
"What's this, a DVD?" Jewel asked, confused.
"From the shape of it, it must be one," said Princess Ozma.
"I'll see what the DVD is," said Dot.
the DVD case I was given
When she grabbed the DVD, we went over to look at it and were surprised. It was a DVD of The Tom and Jerry Show.
"The Tom and Jerry Show?!" asked Pillow, very confused.
"Wow, what's The Tom and Jerry Show?" asked Peanut.
"It's a 2014 American animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Renegade Animation, based on the Tom and Jerry characters created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940 and broadcast on Cartoon Network and Boomerang," explained Cowardly Lion.
"Wow, how exciting," said Spot.
When we cleaned the DVD cover, the DVD had Spike and his son Tyke on a light blue and white background, which was a bit reminiscent of the show's intro. Above it, it said, "The Tom and Jerry Show: The Best of Spike and Tyke!."
"How about we take it and watch it all together?" asked Tin Man.
"Good idea, buddy," replied Scarecrow.
So we went to Ozma's palace to watch the episodes she had.
What the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo looked like.
When we arrived, we immediately put the DVD in the DVD player and prepared for an incredible discovery. At the beginning of the DVD, there was the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo, but we began to realize it wasn't entirely original.
For starters, the sky and clouds were red and black instead of blue and white. The WB logo was maroon and covered in blood. The inner logo was gray, and the outer logo was dark gray instead of the usual blue and yellow and the "Warner Bros. Home Entertainment" text was black.
Then it showed the warning, but the background was red and the text was black.
"Something's wrong," Dot said.
After that, it showed many trailers for other shows from Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, and Boomerang, such as Be Cool Scooby-Doo!, The Powerpuff Girls, New Looney Tunes, Ben 10, Tom and Jerry Tales, Zuzubaland, and more.
After the progress, it showed the menu.
We decided to press "Episode Selection" to see the episode list. Why? Because my friends who are Lalaloopsies, didn't know the series well.
The episodes were as follows: "Hunger Strikes," "Bones of Contention," "Anger Mismanagement," "You Are What You Eat," "Belly Achin'," "Hunger Games," and one strange episode I never remembered being part of the series: "Spike's Frustration."
"Spike's Frustration?" Bea asked.
"Why is Spike so frustrated?" Pillow asked.
"Must be one of those times Tom annoys him while he is trying to catch Jerry." I said.
I downplayed it, as I was interested in seeing another episode where Spike appeared, since we'd already seen most of them with him
I pressed "Play All" because, to meet the series.
The first six were good and funny, especially for me. The one where Tom had a tummy ache, where he ate Little Quacker and Jerry while they were in Tom's tummy and trying to get out, but on with the topic.
But before the seventh episode could play, a warning appeared on the screen:
"Warning: This episode of The Tom and Jerry Show was originally intended to be in an unplanned sixth season, but was rejected and scrapped for being too disturbing. Furthermore, the episode was made by not one, but four former Warner Bros. Animation animators who were later fired for doing it. Please cover your eyes before watching this episode."
"Wait, what?" Dorothy exclaimed.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Jewel asked.
Then, the intro came up, it was normal, except at the end, only Tom and Jerry were looked scared.
After the intro, the episode began.
The title card came up, but it was similar to the season 2, except, Tom and Jerry were looked scared, same as the intro, and at the top it said "Spike's Frustration."
Then, The episodes starts with a shot of Ginger and Rick's house, where Ginger was talking to Rick, like a normal episode.
At that moment, it focused on Jerry and Nibbles in their hole in the wall.
They were talking about something.
"Hey Jerry, what do you say we go bother Tom?"
"Sure, Nibbles, let's go!" Jerry replied.
This surprised us greatly; Jerry had never spoken in the series.
"JERRY?!" Nibbles replied, surprised. "Can you talk?"
"Yes, I can talk." he responded with a smile
"Wow, so let's bother Tom."
After that, the mice ran in Tom's direction.
Then he moved on to Tom, who was sleeping peacefully. Then the mice appeared and called to him, and then Tom realized.
"Now what?" I responded annoyed.
This also surprised us. Tom had never spoken after the few times he did.
"TOM?!" Jerry and Nibbles responded.
"You can talk too?" Nibbles asked.
"Well, of course, who wouldn't be stupid not to notice?" Tom replied.
Then,
"Hahaha!" We laughed at what happened. Jerry pulled off Tom's mustache like in every episode, and Tom screamed with his iconic scream.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Tom yelled in his iconic scream.
"LITTLE DEVILS, NOW THEY'RE GOING TO FIND OUT!" Then Tom gets up, and the classic scene of Tom chasing Jerry and Nibbles around the house, making a mess, occurs.
Then it focuses on the yard where they go out to do their usual crazy things while we laughed at that episode.
"This looks really funny!." said Spot while she is giggling.
Then it focuses on Spike and Tkye's house. They were fast asleep.
Then Spike notices the noise. Suddenly, Jerry and Nibbles are hiding, and again...
"Hahahahaha!" Tom had hit Spike while colliding with him. Another hilarious scene so far. Spike got really angry and angrily kicked Tom out of his house, as always.
"LISTEN TO ME, YOU DAMN STUPID CAT. I'M SICK OF YOU ALLWAYS ANNOYING ME!!" Spike said angrily
This surprised us greatly. We had never heard a Tom and Jerry character use such a rude word. It's supposed to be an all-ages show and can't say that kind of thing.
Then another funny scene occurs. Spike starts hitting Tom in a cartoonish manner. Then Ginger appears and comes to defend Tom.
"HEY YOU, DEVIL DOG, LEAVE MY KITTY ALONE!" Ginger yelled as she started to hit Spike.
Then the scene cuts to black and Spike's screams can be hearded, and the scene then cuts to Spike's house, where he appears with Tyke. He seems to be watching a compilation of every Tom and Jerry episode of all time. Looking rather gloomy.
"Why did that cat have to humiliate me like that..." Spike said.
Suddenly, his eyes turned black and his pupils turned red. He had turned into Spike.EXE, while his voice faded into a demonic effect.
"I've done it... I've watched the entire series, and nothing's ever gone my way. They humiliate me. That Tom cat always bothers me, compared to those other ones... My only good luck on that damn show has been in a few episodes... I can't stand it anymore... I'm done... I'm sick of those idiots... ENOUGH!... I want... REVENGE!" Spike told us furiously.
"Are... are you talking to us?" Dot stuttered.
"OF COURSE I AM BAD HUMANS!" Spike mocked before Tyke appeared. He was wondering what was wrong with his dad.
"LEAVE ME ALONE IDIOT DOG!" Spike yelled before Tyke ran off, terrified.
This also surprised us. Spike never yelled at his own son in the series.
"There," Spike commented. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm leaving... Don't leave your house."
Then he left the room as we began to worry about what Spike would do next.
Then, the scene cuts into Spike enter the house, head to the kitchen, grab a knife, and put it away to defend himself.
Then he went to find Tom and threw something at him, waking him up. Tom looked around and saw Spike kneeling in the middle of the room.
"Who do they think they are, treating me like this?... Do they think they can keep doing this?... Are they going to treat me like this?... Like a stupid dog?... I can't believe it..." Spike muttered.
"Spike? Is that you?" asked Tom.
"I WAS WAITING FOR YOU, CAT!" Spike yelled angrily as he turned around.
"Spike?! Are you okay?!" Tom exclaimed. "What happened to your eyes?! And your voice?!"
Spike approached Tom, growling.
"Spike, you're scaring me!" said the cat, scared and bristling.
Tom let out a biggest scream as Spike violently approached him. Spike was still laughing as he pulled out a knife.
"NO SPIKE, DON'T DO IT, NOOOOO!!!!" Tom yelled.
Then he showed the most intense thing imaginable: Spike stabbed Tom with the knife while Tom screamed in pain, but, it was not the usual scream. He sounded like a real cat in pain, as if it were being stabbed in the worst possible way.
Then Jerry and Nibbles appeared in their hole. He was asking Nibbles why Tom had screamed so loudly, when suddenly the lights went out.
"Eek!" they shouted. "What happened to the lights?"
Suddenly, they heard Bowser's laugh from Super Mario 64.
"W-who's there?" Jerry shuddered.
"Is... is there... Uhhh..." Nibbles shuddered.
At that moment, they heard a wall breaking, and the lights came back on, and Spike was behind the mice.
"S-S-S-Spike?" Jerry gasped. "I've never seen you in our hole before."
"I came here to get revenge," Spike said.
"W-W-what do you mean?!" they asked, very scared.
"You know what I mean! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU TWO, THAT CAT ALWAYS ANNOYS ME AND ALWAYS HUMILIATES ME!" Spike lamented.
At that moment, Spike pulled out a chainsaw.
"Spike, wait, let's talk about this!" the frightened mice pleaded.
But despite their pleas, Spike killed them anyway. Jerry and Nibbles screamed when their fate was discovered.
What kind of episode of The Tom and Jerry Show is this? Peanut yelled.
Then it cut to Ginger and Rick in their room, awake.
"You know who yelled, Ri-"
But before Ginger could finish her sentence, she heard a knock on the door.
"Coming soon," the two said as she headed to the door to see who it was. It was Butch and Quacker. They looked terrified.
"Oh, what are you doing up at this hour?" asked Ginger.
"Ginger and Rick... SPIKE HAS GONE INSANE!" shouted Butch.
"Crazy?" they asked. "That's impossible... that dog is grounded, he hasn't left his house."
"NO, GINGER AND RICK! IT'S TRUE! SPIKE IS KILLING EVERYONE IN THE CITY!" shouted Quacker.
"I'll believe it when we see it-"
"HURRY! WE NEED TO GET TOOTS!" They interrupted them as they took their hands and ran away.
Then it showed Toots's house. She was filing his nails. Butch, Quacker, Ginger, and Rick entered the scene.
"TOOTS!" Butch shouted.
"Hello everyone! What's up?" Toots asked.
"So... SPIKE'S GONE INSANE RECENTLY, KILLING EVERYONE IN TOWN, AND IF WE DON'T RUN AWAY AND FIND A BUS, WE'RE ALL DOOMED!" Quacker shouted.
"Wait, wait, wait! What?!" Toots shouted.
"I told him he'd believe it when he saw it..." Ginger muttered.
"Don't be afraid, as soon as I'm done with this bus, I'll call Tyke and some other friends who haven't died yet to come with us!" Toots said as he pulled out his phone.
Then the screen showed a time card. Similar to SpongeBob SquarePants, "ONE HOUR LATER..."
It showed Tyke searching for Spike throughout the destroyed house, witnessing the tragedy that had occurred.
Suddenly, the house phone rang, but the sound was a mix of "SPECIAL ALERT! SPECIAL ALERT!" and the sound effect of Special Agent Bear's Photographer.
"Who's on the phone?" asked Tyke.
This surprised us; Tyke never spoke in the series.
Tyke then answered the phone and Toots answered.
"Hello? Tyke?" called Toots.
"Hey Toots!" replied Tyke.
"Tyke, I have to tell you something... YOU'D BETTER FIND US AND FIND A BUS BECAUSE YOUR DAD, YES, IT'S SPIKE, IS FURIOUS AND GONE INSANE!" "YOU HAVE TO GET ALL OUR FRIENDS TO COME WITH US!" Toots yelled.
"Wait, what?!" Tyke exclaimed. "Oh no! Why is he doing this?"
"It's because Tom has been bothering him and was being humiliated by the mice and their owners. Please come and find your friends, otherwise we'll all be lost!" Toots yelled.
"Okay!" Tyke said as he hung up.
Then he showed a picture of all the characters at the bus stop (except Spike, Tom, Jerry, and Nibbles).
"Okay, guys! While the bus arrives, I have a special presentation to show before we get on the bus and head out of town until Spike calms down!" Ginger said.
"What is it?" asked Toodles.
"Okay, guys, we have to wait for the bus, and it has a lot of things to protect you from Spike so he doesn't kill us," Toots told everyone.
Suddenly, they heard a slowed-down laugh from Boo from Super Mario 64.
"Whose laugh was that?" Tara asked.
"IT'S SPIKE!" Bea panicked. EVERYONE GET ON THE BUS!
Then the bus arrived, and everyone jumped on like a flash.
"DRIVER, CLOSE THE DOORS! NOW!" Ginger shouted.
As soon as everyone looked out the window, the bus pulled away. Spike noticed and said, "Well, at least those who steal the spotlights will soon realize that leaving town by bus doesn't stop them from being near me!" And no. That's not the end of the macabre episode. There's more.
Then he showed another card that said "2 hours later"...
Then he showed a picture of the characters, still alive, on the bus.
"Where are we going now?" asked Muscles. Ace then saw an abandoned toy store that looks similar to Toys R Us.
"Guys, I think I have an idea!" said Butch.
Then they told the bus driver to drop them off at the toy store, and when the bus stopped, they all got out and went inside. Rick locked the door in case Spike came looking for them.
"We could stay here until Spike calms down," said Meathead Cat.
"Great idea, Meathead Cat!" said Butch.
Oh. We forgot to mention that the characters who were still alive and hadn't died were as follows: Tara, Toots, Muscles Mouse, Little Quacker, Tyke Bulldog, Jack Benny Mouse, Toodles Galore, Meathead Cat, Lightning Cat, Meathead Dog, Mike Bulldog, Scarf the Dog, Misty, Ginger, Rick, Brown Bulldog, Butch Dog, Missy, and Bill. The characters then heard Kefka's laugh from Sonic.EXE.
"Oh, no..." muttered Ginger.
"Oh, so you're serious now?" asked Quacker.
The same Kefka laughter was heard again after a vocal coo: "Nibbles and Jerry didn't want to play with me, too bad. But I can play with you, right?" Referencing the Sonic the Hedgehog horror game, Sally.EXE.
"Who's there?" Mike asked.
"IT'S SPIKE! YOU'D BETTER RUN!" Rosy yelled.
"YOU'RE RIGHT!" Toots said.
The characters ran everywhere. Spike tumbled through the door covered in Tom, Jerry, and Nibbles' blood.
"You can't run. YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER, FRIENDS! I'M COMING FOR YOU ALL," Spike said before laughing like a madman, just like Oswald and Peanut Otter.
Then he showed a picture of a Toys R Us storefront. Mike Bulldog soon appeared. He locked the doors and ducked into a corner.
"Please don't come after me... Please don't come after me... Please don't come after me..." he moaned as tears began to form in his small eyes.
Spike burst through the door with a bat.
"Peek-a-boo! I found you!" Spike said as he threw the same swing at Mike.
Then he showed a picture of another room in the house. Ginger and Rick appeared.
"Oh, God, oh, God!" he muttered. "We should have listened to Butch and Quacker... I was right from the start!"
Spike approached Ginger and Rick menacingly.
"Nice speech... say goodbye to your legs," Spike said.
Ginger and Rick screamed as he said that. Then he showed another section, and Butch entered the scene with tears in his eyes.
"Why Spike? Why?" Spike said. "I'm losing my friends because of you..."
"Don't worry, you'll see them again..." Spike whispered.
"R-really?" Butch asked before his head was chopped off.
Then it showed Toodles and Toots together in a room.
"Spike will never find us here!" Toots said.
"Uh... I'm getting a little scared. What if he does?" Toodles asked.
"Oh, don't worry, at least you still have me with you," Toots said.
Toodles chuckled when she said that.
"Yeah, heh, I guess you're right," Toodles replied. Suddenly, Spike appeared out of nowhere and stabbed them both with the knife.
And then the screen went black, and the screams of all the survivors could be heard.
Hours had passed. The scene returned, and the remaining characters were dead. No sign of anyone. Except for Spike.
Spike walked out of Toys R Us, covered in blood, laughing softly.
As he continued to laugh, we tried to back away. But he stopped us.
"OH, I DIDN'T FORGET ALL OF YOU!" Spike told us.
"My sister is just going to get some food, calm down sweet doggy," said Berry.
"Oh, I don't think so," said Spike. "Until you pay for what you did today, you're not going anywhere!"
"Pfft. As if you could make us pay for what we've done," I said. "I'm in the universe of Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, and you're just an animated dog behind a TV screen. So good luck trying to find me," Jewel said to Spike.
Spike grabbed a piece of paper and started writing something. Then he revealed where we were. Yes. Ozma's Palace.
"Ozma's Palace is there do you live?" Spike asked. We were shocked.
"W-W-WHAT?!" Ozma gasped. "WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO REVEAL MY LOCATION?!"
"I know everything, Queen Ozma!" said Spike. "I told the creators of this episode the same thing, and they had no choice but to believe me!"
"Wait, who are the creators of this episode?" I asked.
"Good question, Sunny," replied Spike as he took out four photos and slammed them against the wall of what was supposed to be a haunted house. "These creators are none other than... William Hanna, Darrell Van Citters, Tom Kenny, and Rick Zieff!"
"No..." Bea muttered. "Of all people... THOSE GUYS?!" WHY?!
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll jump off the screen and bite your disgusting faces off!" said Sike as he leaped toward the screen.
"OH NO!" Dorothy yelled as she slammed her fist against the remote, making it jump. After she did so, the screen showed a black background.
The black background lasted for a 7 seconds, suddenly, Tom's ghost appeared, looking very sad and glowing red.
And then, Tom's ghost began to speak to us.
"It's all over... Spike took everything from us, our home, our fun, our friends, our owners, our enemies... it's all over. It's over for us. If you can hear us, please, please, help us. We need to be saved... it's our only way out of this hell and that Killer Dog... What a terrible day! This is the official end of the series. I... I..."
After he said that, Tom immediately started to break down into tears as he began to fade away and the screen went black again.
"Poor Tom..." Jewel said sadly.
"I agree with you, Jewel" Crumbs said
After the last scene, and Tom's ghost's message, the credits appeared, but...
The credits had a red background, Tom and Jerry's faces are the same scared faces like the intro, the background was the corpses of the characters Spike killed, but they were headless. The background music was Skull.ogg from Chris H.
When the credits ended, the closing logo appeared, but it was also off...
The Warner Bros. Animation logo.
The Warner Bros. Animation logo came up, but is slowed-down, the background was Blood red, the WB was now the same color as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo, and the text "Animation" was in Chiller font.
What the Spike screen with his happy emotion, but macabre screenshot was looked like.
And when the logo was finished, Spike appeared with his happy emotion, but macabre, and said this after laughing evilly: "Hey you All, and you, Sunny... don't think you've saved yourselves by simply skipping to the scene of that cat ghost and the credits.... One of these days, weeks, months, or years, I'll find you and kill all you off someday. See you at Ozma's Palace..." Spike laughed like a crazy after telling us that.
After that, we all took back to the menu.
We were so traumatized by that episode, Ace took the DVD and destroyed it with his tools.
From that day on, we never watched The Tom and Jerry Show the same way again.
(The end.)
