Jerry's Cousin is a 1950 animated Tom and Jerry short (7½ minutes), directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.The film starts with one Muscles Mouse kicking the bejesus out of all the cats in "Hogan's Alley". Muscles gets a letter in the mail from his cousin Jerry, pleading for help. Muscles arrives to find Jerry cowering behind his dinner table as Tom chucks dynamite stick after dynamite stick into the mouse hole. The tables are rapidly turned as Muscles the super-mouse goes after Tom. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Jerry's Cousin / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Muscles and Jerry are relaxing on Tom’s bed, but the former notices his cousin nervously looking around for any signs of Tom, and airily says, "Relax, cousin, nothing's gonna happen." That’s when Tom drops a bowling ball on him from the attic. He comes back soon, however. | |

The Juggernaut | |
| Jerry's Cousin / int_1eed8e76 | comment |
The Juggernaut: Muscles. None of Tom's tactics work and no other cat, including Tom or the three thugs, can physically match Muscles. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Jerry's Cousin / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: When Muscles leaves his mouse hole to go help Jerry, all of the cats run away in fear...except one, who literally digs himself a grave in the sidewalk. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Every fight between Muscles and any cat in the short ends this way, though the three cat thugs briefly knock Muscles across the room before getting annihilated. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite being a seemingly ordinary mouse, Muscles is strong enough to give any cat a run for their money. | |

Metronomic Man Mashing: Muscles Mouse is introduced rhythmically slamming cats back and forth by the tail in Hogan's Alley. He later does the same to Tom. | |

I Kiss Your Foot: Near the end of the short, Tom kisses Muscle Mouse's foot. In its ending, he also kisses both of Jerry's feet after he disguised himself as Muscles. | |

Forcibly Formed Physique: Tom has been tossed across the room by Muscles and falls inside a vase. When Muscles spits at the vase and it breaks apart, Tom has been contorted to fit its shape, including having his arms bent like the handles. | |

Bowled Over: Played with; when Muscles knocks Tom off the ground with the bowling ball (which Tom had just earlier dropped on Muscles), Tom falls back to the ground in ten bowling pin-shaped pieces. | |

Elite Mooks: Tom recruits a gang of three intimidating tough-guy cats to take care of Muscles. They end up being no match for Muscles, who beats all three of them senseless, after which Tom surrenders. | |

No-Sell: Downplayed. When a muscly Tom bashes Muscles upside the head, he is briefly seen being almost Squashed Flat, but he quickly gets up and retaliates. | |

Outside-Context Problem | |
| Jerry's Cousin / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: It's obvious why Tom surrenders to Muscles at the end; clearly, he has no idea how to handle a mouse that resists all his tricks and can beat up any cat. | |

Uncanny Family Resemblance: Muscles and Jerry look exactly alike. This allows Jerry to impersonate Muscles and get the advantage over a terrified Tom. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Muscles got Jerry's letter for help, he sternly leaves. The cats who notice that he is heading their way ran for their lives and Butch creates a makeshift grave to hide from him. (A great indication that Tom isn't going to win.) | |
