The Itchy & Scratchy Show
''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'' (often shortened as ''Itchy & Scratchy'') is a running gag and fictional animated television series featured in the animated television series ''The Simpsons''. It usually appears as a part of ''The Krusty the Clown Show'', watched regularly by Bart and Lisa Simpson. Itself an animated cartoon, ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'' depicts a sadistic anthropomorphic blue mouse, Itchy (voiced by Dan Castellaneta), who repeatedly kills an anthropomorphic, hapless threadbare black cat, Scratchy (voiced by Harry Shearer). The cartoon first appeared in the ''Tracey Ullman Show'' short "The Bart Simpson Show", which originally aired November 20, 1988. The cartoon's first appearance in ''The Simpsons'' was in the 1990 episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home". Typically presented as 15-to-60-second-long cartoons, the show is filled with gratuitous violence. ''The Simpsons'' also occasionally features characters who are involved with the production of ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'', including Roger Meyers, Jr. (voiced by Alex Rocco, and, later, Hank Azaria), who runs the studio and produces the show.
Itchy (the sadistic mouse) and Scratchy (the hapless cat) are grotesque, extremely violent parodies of ''Tom and Jerry'' and ''Herman and Katnip''; the names were inspired by "Pixie and Dixie", who were mice on ''Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks''. The mouse (or mice) are almost always the aggressors and, as in ''Tom and Jerry,'' are almost always the victors, killing Scratchy and any other cats around. The cartoons became popular among the show's writers and animators and are often added when an episode needs expanding. As the shorts became popular with fans, the writers decided to have full episodes that centered on the production of ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'' and featured multiple shorts. The first was "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" (season two, 1990), which was a commentary on censorship. Other episodes to feature the show include "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" (season four, 1992), "The Front" (season four, 1993), "Itchy & Scratchy Land" (season six, 1994), "The Day the Violence Died" (season seven, 1996) and "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" (season eight, 1997).
==Role in ''The Simpsons''==
''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'' is a show within a show that appears occasionally in episodes of ''The Simpsons''. They typically appear in the form of 15-60 second cartoons that are filled with gratuitous violence, usually initiated by Itchy the mouse against Scratchy the cat; Itchy is almost always the victor. ''Itchy & Scratchy'' airs as a segment on the Krusty the Clown show, and also aired on its brief replacements, Sideshow Bob's ''Cavalcade of Whimsy'', and ''Gabbo''.
The Itchy & Scratchy Show is usually a parody of traditional cartoons or takeoffs on famous films, but the plot and content are always violent. The most direct and obvious example is ''Tom and Jerry'', an animated series which was also about a constant battle between a cat and a mouse, with the mouse usually victorious. ''Itchy and Scratchy'' also includes shorts such as ''Scratchtasia'', a parody of ''Fantasia'', and ''Pinitchio'', a parody of ''Pinocchio''. Itchy & Scratchy are often used for animation-related jokes. For example, the ''Manhattan Madness'' cartoon in "The Day the Violence Died" is based on very early animated cartoons such as ''Gertie the Dinosaur''.〔 Itchy and Scratchy often play out an exaggerated form of the conflict in the surrounding episode. For example, in "Deep Space Homer" (season five, 1994), Homer is recruited by NASA, and later watches an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon which directly (and gruesomely) parodies the films ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' and ''Alien''.
