I have seen an episode of Mindhunter S1:E9, in on the scenes there is a sentence that has driven my attention:

A: "I'm not like them"

B: "No?"

A: "Them f*ckers are crazy."

Is it possible to use an object pronoun (them) in the place of a subject pronoun (they)?

It isn't used in place of a subject pronoun. We wouldn't say "They fuckers are crazy". It's used in place of a demonstrative determiner (like "those" or "these"). – herisson Jan 10 '18 at 22:38
