The Simpsons: 20 Best Itchy And Scratchy Moments
4. Steamboat Itchy
From: Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie
Before being teamed up with Itchy, Scratchy was the star of his own cartoon - Scratchy The Happy Cat (which solely consisted of Scratchy walking and whistling). It was only when he was paired with a psychotic young mouse in Steamboat Itchy (a parody of Mickey Mouse's first cartoon, Steamboat Willy) that his life took a turn for the worse.
The sketch starts off as an innocent parodying of old Mickey Mouse cartoons with toe-tapping and innocent whistling - until Itchy proceeds to Tommy gun Scratchy's knees before leading him to the coal fire and burning his head. You have to feel a little sorry for Scratchy... but then watching him in pain is so darn funny.
