Itchy & Scratchy: Episode / Movie Guide

Let's see these madcaps in action, already!

Classic Itchy & Scratchy Movies

  • 1919 - Manhattan Madness - Itchy puts an Irishman through the wash and chops off Teddy Roosevelt's head.
  • 1928 - Steamboat Itchy - Itchy rides the steamboat just like Mickey the Mouse.

    •  
  • Pinnitchio - Scratchy as Gepetto and Itchy as Pinnitchio.

    Modern Itchy & Scratchy Movies

  • Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie - Little of the plot of this movie is explained, there are only random acts of mindless violence involving a rather large train.

    •  
  • Itchy and Scratchy 2 - Coincidentally, this movie is found in the second issue of "Itchy and Scratchy: The Comic". The censors have deemed Itchy and Scratchy too violent. In an effort to appease the censors, the next I&S movie is written as a romantic comedy, in which Scratchy falls in love with Dorothy La Mew. On the set, Itchy does his best to make the movie violent (with the help of a serial killer and some rather angry soldier ants), but he fails. The movie is previewed as a romance and flops terribly. The night before the grand opening, Itchy switches the film with a violent version. Needless to say, it is wildly successful. Outside, the anti-violence protesters go ape and attack Scratchy for his profuse bleeding throughout the movie. Interestingly, this story is written by Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Krusty) and his wife.

    Itchy & Scratchy Episodes

  • Bang the Cat Slowly - Scratchy is having a birthday party. Itchy produces a box and puts a lit bomb in it, wraps it, grabs Scratchy's tongue (easily, since Scratchy's expression is wide-eyed and open-mouthed in anticipation of his obvious fate) and uses it as wrapping ribbon.  He then pulls it back and snaps it into Scratchy's mouth, where it  lodges in Scratchy's throat. Scratchy blinks and the bomb explodes. Scratchy's head and his party hat are twirling separately in the air.  The party hat lands (cone up) on Scratchy's shoulders, and Scratchy's head comes down on it with enough force to push the conical party hat through the entire head.

    •  
  • Burning Love - Scratchy reclines in a hammock.  Itchy shoots him with a flaming arrow.  Scratchy jumps around on fire, screaming.

    •  
  • Cat Splat Fever - While "There's No Place Like Home" plays as background music, we see Scratchy in the bedroom, in which there are separate beds labeled "Itchy" and "Scratchy" and a picture of the two on the wall.  Scratchy finds a note on Itchy's bed: "Goodbye Cruel World -- Itchy" and looks outside just in time to see Itchy jump into a well.  He runs out and dives into the well himself, presumably to rescue Itchy, who is sitting on a ledge watching Scratchy fall to the bottom.  Once at the bottom, Scratchy falls into the jaws of an alligator, who chews him up.  A ghostlike Scratchy-angel, complete with wings and halo, ascends through the well until level with Itchy.  Itchy levels a revolver at Scratchy's head and blasts it.  After flattening out briefly, Scratchy's head recovers its shape, but with a large hole.  Scratchy glances upward in time to see his halo depart, then falls back downward.  Itchy waves goodbye. After a brief shot of Lisa laughing, we see the closing card: Itchy's and Scratchy's faces with a yellow ribbon and the subtitle "Dedicated to Timmy O'Toole."

  • Esophagus Now

    •  
  • Field of Screams - Scratchy and Scratchy Jr. [!] are enjoying a game of catch in a field of wheat.  Itchy and Itchy Jr. [!!] arrive on the scene in a thresher and run over Scratchy & Son.  The next thing we see is Itchy and Itchy Jr. playing their own game of catch with a cat head.

    •  
  • Flay Me To The Moon - The title card shows an American-flag-wielding Itchy chasing Scratchy. Scratchy is reading the newspaper, the banner headline of which says "MOON SHOT TODAY."  Itchy appears at the window and grabs an oblivious Scratchy's tongue and runs with it . . .  to the launching pad of the aforementioned moon shot.  He ties it securely around one of the rocket's tail fins and awaits the launch.  The rocket blasts off and Scratchy's tongue unreels for the entire 250,000 mile trip.  The rocket makes several quick orbits, leaving Scratchy's tongue in a Gordian knot around the moon. Scratchy's tongue exerts enough of a pull on the moon to bring it hurtling toward earth -- specifically, Scratchy's house.  Scratchy notices something is wrong, goes to the window to look, and sees the rapidly growing apparent size of the moon.  He screams, runs about with arms flailing and finally heads for the closet to hide. The moon  more than adequately flattens Scratchy's house. You then see a control room full of Itchies, watching on a big monitor,  cheering and popping champagne.  Mission: successful.

    •  
  • [God vs. Scratchy] - Itchy prays and God squashes Scratchy with his big sandal -o- death.

    •  
  • I'm Getting Buried in the Morning - The title is a reference to the show tune "I'm Getting Married in the Morning" from "My Fair Lady".

    •  
  • JFK guest director: Oliver Stone

    •  
  • Kitchen Cut-Ups - Itchy and Scratchy are pounding each other with meat tenderizers.  Next we see Scratchy pinned to the counter while Itchy tries to stab him with a butcher knife (note the cat-cutlet butcher's chart on the  all in the background).  Finally, Itchy connects and Scratchy screams.   [After a brief cut away from the TV] We then briefly see Itchy wielding an electric mixer.

    •  
  • Last Traction Hero - Scratchy lifts weights to get huge only to be dismembered by Itchy.

    •  
  • Let Them Eat Scratchy - Itchy cuts off Scratchy's head with a guillotine.  Scratchy's head rolls to a stop (the expression on Scratchy's face here is priceless) and Itchy stuffs a bomb into his mouth.  After the explosion, all that's left is a cat skull.

    •  
  • Little Barbershop of Horrors - Scratchy walks into a barber shop where Itchy is waiting. He cuts off the top of his head and gradually works his way down. Then he throws some acid on a towel and burns off his skin. It won a cartoon grammy.

    •  
  • O Solo Meow - Scratchy is seated at a table in a restaurant.  Itchy, the waiter, arrives with a spaghetti platter which contains a bomb.  Scratchy, oblivious to the bomb, twirls the spaghetti and bomb together on his fork and eats it. While slurping the spaghetti strands, he sees the fuse (in place of the last spaghetti strand) burn down.  Realizing what has happened, he frantically jumps around screaming (similar movements to "Burning Love") and runs through a door to the outside.  Unfortunately, the door is too low, and Scratchy is decapitated on the way.  His body explodes outside, leaving a smoking hole.    A pink dog-busboy comes along and trips over Scratchy's head, causing all his dishes to crash to the floor.  Cut to Itchy, who is giggling.

    •  
  • Porch Pals - The first "kinder, gentler" Itchy and Scratchy production. Itchy and Scratchy are sitting in rocking chairs on a porch with a table holding a pitcher of lemonade between them.

    •  
  • Messenger of Death - Scratchy answers a knock at the door, looks down and sees Itchy, who draws a bazooka, aims directly at Scratchy's head, and fires.  Scratchy's body is left intact, but his head is a skull.  Zoom  back to see the TV in the Simpsons' living room, from which we see Scratchy's skull fall off his neck (a couple of vertebrae still visible)

    •  
  • My Dinner with Itchy - Itchy and Scratchy are having dinner in a fancy restaurant.  Itchy gives Scratchy a carafe of green acid, which Scratchy (presumably thinking it is wine) ingests.  When he looks down to see his skeletal insides, Itchy throws the rest of the acid into his face.  Scratchy screams and runs, blinded, out of the restaurant and into the street, where he is run over by a bus.

  • Scar Trek

  • Screams From a Mall

    •  
  • Silence of the Silencers - St. Valentine's Day Massacre theme: Itchy is in a police uniform, slapping his club into his palm, while several tough-looking, hoodlum- dressed cats are lined up against a wall.  No sign of Scratchy.  Itchy, completely without provocation, pulls out a Thompson .45 caliber submachine gun and opens up on the unsuspecting gangland cats.  As blood flows liberally, Itchy begins blasting "THE END" into the wall with bullet holes. Before he can finish, one more hapless cat wanders onto the scene (one guess who).  Itchy blasts the "D" through him, he falls, and "THE END" remains on the wall, with the "D" in red. "It's funny because it's true"

    •  
  • Sundae, Bloody Sundae - Scratchy sits down at a soda fountain, but tries to run when he sees that the soda jerk is Itchy.  Itchy grabs him and stuffs him into a metal shake container, and puts it under the mixer.  Voila: Scratchy puree.  Freeze framers: step through the part where Scratchy reconstitutes himself!  (He drinks himself, through the straw, back into shape.)
