List of Itchy & Scratchy cartoons

This is a list of the Itchy & Scratchy cartoons shown on The Simpsons. There are currently 71 of them.

100-Yard Gash

Title Pun: 100-Yard Dash
Simpsons Episode: "Lisa's First Word"

Year 1984

Synopsis: The scene is at an Olympic Games. A fanfare is heard, and then the theme for Chariots of Fire begins playing. Scratchy is participating in the 100-Yard Dash event. Itchy nails Scratchy's skin to the floor. Scratchy takes off skinless and wins the race. Later, his skeleton is shown on a Wheaties box. This is one of the few Itchy and Scratchy episodes in which Scratchy ends up happy in the end, as his skeleton expression of the Wheaties box is cheerful. At the end of the episode, there was a sign that said "Good Luck to our Athletes from Itchy & Scratchy, Official Animated Cat and Mouse Team of the 1984 Olympics." Itchy then tells Scratchy that he is a “no-go lowlife” and shoots him with a tommy gun.

500-Yard Gash

Title Pun: 500-Yard Dash
Simpsons Episode: The Simpsons Hit & Run (video game)

Year 2003

This episode, which seems to be loosely based on "100-Yard Gash" (see above), appears in the video game The Simpsons Hit & Run once the player has collected all the collector cards. In this version, Itchy surreptitiously injects Scratchy with steroids just as the race is about to begin. At first, this makes Scratchy faster and stronger, allowing him to circle the earth several times in the time it takes Itchy to almost reach the finish line. However, the exertion takes its toll on Scratchy, and his heart literally explodes mere feet away from the finish line. The final scene shows Itchy on the winner's stand, holding Scratchy's head. This short is unique in that it was animated in cel-shaded 3D, like the rest of the game, as opposed to traditional animation.

500 Easy Pieces

Title pun: Five Easy Pieces

Simpsons Episode: Butterfinger commercial

This is an ad for Butterfinger. Itchy pokes the stethoscope into Scratchy's ear, then chomps roughly on the Butterfinger. Scratchy shatters into pieces.

A Briss Before Dying

Title Pun: A Kiss Before Dying
Simpsons episode: "Today I Am a Clown"

Synopsis: Klezmer music. Itchy lies on a table, presumably for his ritual circumcision or brit milah, between a congregation of Jewish mice and Scratchy, who is saying a Hebrew prayer: "Baruch atah adonai, alohienu melech haholahm, boray pur" (a familiar blessing said over wine). Scratchy then pulls out a scalpel to murder Itchy. Seeing the scalpel makes Itchy easily frightened. He jumps up on Scratchy's head, pulls his eyeballs out, and throws them out the window. Attacking Itchy, Scratchy cuts himself to pieces. Itchy picks them up and puts them through a mincer (the eyeballs reappear) and applies the product to the end of a tube, then blows it in a fireplace as if it were made of glass, turning it into a goblet. He wraps it and stamps on it while the other mice clap, shouting "Mousel Tov!" After the cartoon is over, Krusty says "and that's what I believe in now! Hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha!"

Aah! Wilderness!

Title Pun: Ah, Wilderness!

Synopsis: This cartoon was edited for prison viewing. Itchy and Scratchy lead two armies against each other. As they run towards each other on the battlefield, they pull out bigger and better weapons. As they collide, the episode cuts to Itchy declaring an end to "the spectacular 3D blood and gore!" Then, the mice celebrate.

Bang the Cat Slowly

Title Pun: Bang the Drum Slowly
Simpsons Episode: "Stark Raving Dad"

Synopsis: It's Scratchy's birthday. As a "gift", Itchy puts a bomb into a box and Scratchy screams, allowing Itchy to pull his tongue out and use it to wrap the box. Scratchy's tongue snaps back into his mouth and the box lodges itself in his throat. It explodes, launching his head and party hat into the air. His hat lands first on his neck, then his head falls and is impaled on the hat.

The Beagle Has Landed

Title Pun: The Eagle Has Landed
Simpsons Episode: "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"

Year 1997

Synopsis: This episode marks the debut of Poochie. Itchy and Scratchy are in a car together on their way to a fireworks factory. On the way they run into their new "friend" Poochie (voiced by Homer Simpson). Poochie proceeds to rap about himself - declaring that he is half Joe Camel and one-third Fonzarelli - and finishes by telling children watching to "always recycle... to the extreme!". Poochie ends the cartoon by shouting, "Bust it!," taking Itchy and Scratchy's car, and driving past the fireworks factory.

After the Simpson family, acquaintances relatives watched the episode, Ned Flanders declares that "Homer, that was honestly the best episode of Impy & Chimpy that I've ever seen!"

Bleeder of the Pack

Title Pun: "Leader of the Pack"
Simpsons Episode: "C.E. D'oh"

Synopsis: "Rock Around the Clock" on the soundtrack. Officer Scratchy is minding his own business, talking to a civilian, until troublemaker Itchy chains Scratchy's tail to the parking meter. Scratchy takes off on his motorcycle, chasing Itchy, and his skin gets torn off his body (a reference to American Graffiti). Two 'Itchy' mice in an ambulance take him onboard a plane that the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly are riding. After Scratchy notices they were turned into vampires, the plane crashes. It references the fact that all three died in a plane crash.

Title Pun: The Buck Stops Here
Simpsons Episode: "Burns' Heir"

Synopsis: Itchy and Scratchy take a tour of the federal mint. Itchy clobbers Scratchy with a bag full of money and prints Scratchy into money. Itchy circulates the Scratchy bills to smoking dogs at a tycoon convention, who burn them to light their cigars.

Burning Down the Mouse

Title Pun: "Burning Down the House"
Simpsons Episode: "Homer Goes to College"

Synopsis: The first (and so far only) episode where Scratchy gets his revenge at Itchy. Itchy is tied to a pole and Scratchy puts unusually large explosives around Itchy, including two nuclear bombs (before the cartoon starts, Lisa excitedly says that it's "the one where Scratchy finally kills Itchy"). Just as Scratchy is about to blast Itchy, the Simpsons' TV is unplugged. The cartoon is over when it comes back on (Krusty then says that there's no way they'll ever be allowed to show that again in a million years; Bart and Lisa are highly furious). Note: The end of this episode is unknown (Possibly Itchy has saved up from the death and killed Scratchy again,or probably Itchy finally died for once).

Synopsis: Scratchy is sleeping outside and Itchy fires a burning arrow at him, setting him alight.

Butter Off Dead

Title Pun: Better Off Dead

Year 2002

Synopsis: In an agricultural setting (probably in a Mennonite society) Itchy runs out of butter. As farmer Scratchy visits farmer Itchy (both of them are dressed like Amish men, complete with beards), Itchy shoves Scratchy into a cow's mouth, and an inside view of the cow shows Scratchy being digested by its four stomachs. Itchy then milks the digested Scratchy out of the cow and pours the milk into a butter churn to create his own "I Can't Believe It's Not Scratchy!" butter. When he spreads this on his toast, Scratchy's eyeballs are seen, and after saying a quick prayer Itchy chomps down on the toast.

Notes: This episode of Itchy & Scratchy is (extremist) commentary on the lives of farmers being gradually eradicated by modern technology. It is also one of three I&S cartoons to be referred to by a production code assigned to a Simpsons episode; it is called "Episode CABF06," the production code for the Simpsons episode "Skinner's Sense of Snow," by the professor who uses it in his class. The other two such episodes, both called out in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show," are referred to by codes 4F12 (the code for that very episode, in which Poochie leaves the show) and 2F09 (the code for "Homer the Great", which Homer's ex-college roommate Doug uses to point out an otherwise viewed as "silly" continuity error). Another fan at the Android's Dungeon begins to refer to another 4F production line I&S cartoon before Comic Book Guy interrupts him.

But just as he goes to warn himself, he realizes it's a trap; Itchy has replaced the old Scratchy with an A-bomb decoyed as Scratchy. Itchy watches from a distance as the A-bomb explodes and then enters his own time machine and heads for Studio 54 circa the 1970s.

Itchy is the waiter and while Scratchy is putting on his napkin Itchy sneaks under the table and shaves off a section of Scratchy's fur pulling out his stomach without him noticing. Itchy serves it as rare steak decorated with an olive. Scratchy starts to eat it but the chunk he chews on goes down his throat and out his stomach back onto the plate. This situation is repeated three more times. Itchy hands Scratchy the bill (which is $100). When Scratchy sees the bill he shrieks and his head explodes.

James L. Brooks, on the commentary for "Lisa the Vegetarian", commented that the concept came from a story that had written during high school, but, not being able to fit in a suitable ending, the writers just stuck in a simple, tongue-in-cheek concept of Scratchy's head exploding from the impact of the over-expensive bill.

Field of Screams

Title Pun: Field of Dreams

Part 1

Simpsons Episode: "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge"

Synopsis: Itchy and Scratchy continuously bonk each other with baseball bats until a squirrel resembling Marge comes along and tells Itchy and Scratchy to stop what they're doing. Itchy knocks off the squirrel's head and the two nemeses shake hands.

Title Pun: Fly Me to the Moon
Simpsons Episode: "Homer the Heretic", "Another Simpsons Clip Show"

Synopsis: Scratchy reads of a space launch in the paper. Itchy sneaks into his house, and pulls his tongue out like a fishing-line, runs outside and ties it to the spaceship. It takes off, with Scratchy's tongue unwinding to enormous proportions until the vessel orbits the moon twice and ties a knot around it with the tongue. This pulls the moon towards the earth, and Scratchy only noticing now, panics and hides in his closet. The moon crushes his house with him inside. Inside NASA headquarters, 'Itchy' mice celebrate a successful mission and drink champagne. This episode is one of the most popular and well-known, being shown in two episodes.

This episode was the first viewed by Ned Flanders and his family. While Lisa and Bart laugh at the end thereof, Rod makes no attempt to mask his fear, and asks Ned "What was coming out of kitty's ear?" Ned unconvincingly answers, "Uh ... um ... raspberry jam."

Four Funerals and a Wedding

Itchy & Scratchy meet Fritz the Cat

Title Pun: Fritz the Cat
Simpsons Episode: "The Day the Violence Died"

Synopsis: An X-rated 1970s-style I&S cartoon. Scratchy is attempting to pick up a prostitute when he sees Itchy driving by in a car. When Itchy gets out of the car, Itchy pours gasoline on him and sets him alight with a cigarette. While Scratchy burns Itchy drives off with the prostitute. The only known version of the cartoon is a bootleg video that Comic Book Guy owned. It was presumably only available in bootleg form "because of its frank depiction of sex and narcotic consumption". Despite the title, Fritz the Cat does not actually appear in the cartoon, but since Bart and Lisa entered Comic Book Guy's store where the film was playing and because he switched the film off before the viewer could see what Itchy and the prostitute did next, it can be assumed that Bart and Lisa and us, as the viewers, only saw a few scenes of what's perhaps a longer film where Fritz the Cat might have appeared or appear.

Porch Pals

It featured special introductory titles with a new theme song indicating the pair now "Love and Share" (you can literally see Itchy has a heart and Scratchy with some wrapped gifts) instead of "Fight and Bite".

Itchy and Scratchy place their loose articles against the ride room walls (all fragile items must be leaned against the wall and loose items must be carried safely), and Scratchy bangs his head while trying to enter the vehicle (he should have taken his seat and watched his head while entering), followed by Itchy banging him with a mallet. Scratchy then pulls down his lap bar, and stresses too much that he rips off the lap bar - and loses his head which made the dogs (as Krusty's Krew Member) angry, while Itchy gently pulls down his lap bar (that's part of the safety once the riders are seated). Scratchy puts his arm around his girlfriend and his hand gets close to Itchy. Annoyed, Itchy then pulls Scratchy's arm outside and around the ride vehicle and closes the doors causing Scratchy's arm to be sliced off (riders must remain seated and keep their arms and legs inside at all times). Scratchy then begins to use photography on the ride, causing multiple giant missiles to be shot at him since there would be no still or motion photography of any kind allowed, destroying his camera and burning off his skin. Itchy then safely puts his camera in his pocket. The episode ends with the voiceover saying, "Thanks for your attention. Enjoy the ride!" and a list of the safety reminders that the riders should remember.
