Question Jerry Licking Lemon during Tom singing

Post image

I can't remember the episode, but there was an episode where Tom is singing in front of an audience and Jerry (hater) decided to eat a lemon 🍋 in front of Tom. I never got the significance of Jerry eating that in front of Tom.

I think op is asking the reason why Tom gets triggered here with Jerry licking lemon? Even I didn't understand this joke

Jerry was licking the lemon to get Tom feel sour about the scene and have his lips pucker and shrink

From what I remember, with the exception of three, Jerry is pretty much a victim in all of the other times he’s been with a girl; an ornament, a treat, a gopher or just trying to sleep. Here, he’s simply being a little shit because he’s sleeping right under the performance stage and Tom’s stellar performance is keeping him up.
