About Unsettled Tom

"Unsettled Tom," also known as "Cursed Tom," is a popular reaction image featuring a close-up of Tom from the classic animated cartoon *Tom and Jerry*. The image originates from the 1961 short "Filet Meow," where Tom stares intently at a goldfish. His wide, somewhat bloodshot eyes and intense gaze create an unsettling and confused expression. The meme is primarily used to convey feelings of discomfort, bewilderment, shock, or unease when encountering something strange, awkward, or deeply questionable. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being unsettled by an odd or disturbing situation, often used in response to baffling social media posts, comments, or real-life scenarios.
