Hilda the Librarian

Hilda the Librarian is a character who appears in The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show 's infamous episode Heavy Booking. She is voiced by Erika Scheimer.

Why She Deserves a Heavy Booking

 * 1) To get the elephant out of the room, at first she seems calm with the baby crying, but when Tom sighs in relief, she yells at him for it, which is unreasonable because she tolerates the baby's cries, but not the simplest sighs get her angry. If you don't believe then look at this.
 * 2) Hilda the Librarian is extremely unlikable in the episode she appears in, because she not only outright blames and rages at Tom for even the slightest noise, but also cares more about sleeping at a job for beauty, but completely forgets about the baby she must take care of, hence making her very neglectful of the baby just like 'Jeannie' from Tot Watchers, but even worse.
 * 3) She's basically Tom's original owner 'Mammy Two-Shoes' done 100% wrong, and comes off more like a female version of the Gene Deitch-era's infamous Fat Owner; thus, she's pretty much a bad rip-off of Mammy-Two-Shoes from the original Tom and Jerry cartoons from the 1940s and early-1950s but with none of the charm and likability that Mammy had.
 * 4) She is very loud, cranky, irritable, obnoxious, and short-tempered, as she shakes the floor with her jumping as she screams.
 * 5) Her dialogue is incredibly cringey and laughably bad.
 * 6) While she does not physically harm Tom (unlike Tom's Owner from the Gene Deitch-era), she even goes as far as to kick Tom to Mars after Jerry drops a pin on the floor. Speaking of noise, a pin dropping to the floor only measures 10 decibels (dB), which is 10 times less than a soft whisper, which measures 20 decibels.
 * 7) *Also, just 10 decibels or even 20 decibels isn't really enough to wake a person up, and even if she does, she should've tormented Jerry by kicking him to Mars for dropping a pin to the floor, not Tom.
 * 8) *The very fact that she is able to throw Tom to Mars using her brute strength alone by the ending makes absolute zero sense even by Tom and Jerry standards, since no human being is that strong enough to throw an animal this far, even by the standards of cartoony slapstick.
 * 9) She is also a total hypocrite as well, as she tolerates the baby's crying, but not any of the noise that Tom makes.
 * 10) *Speaking of hypocrisy, when Tom briefly swallows the drum which Jerry used to disturb the peace, she outright calls Tom's plump appearance "lard belly" despite herself being one.
 * 11) Her design is also terrible, as she looks like a generic, badly-drawn, and whitewashed copy of Mammy Two-Shoes' character design.
 * 12) Her voice is loud and annoying, despite being a librarian.
 * 13) * On that topic, her noise intolerance is supposed to be viewed as funny and comical due to it's contradictory nature similar in vein to Joe Bear from Tex Avery's "Rock-a Bye Bear". But unfortunately unlike Joe Bear she doesn't really have anything we should like about her nor find her noise intolerance humorous and instead comes off as incredibly annoying.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) At least she doesn't physically harm Tom unlike Tom's Owner.
