|
A Briss Before Dying is an episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, which Krusty shows to the audience of his show after publicly coming out as Jewish.
In the cartoon, a baby Itchy lies on a table between a congregation of Jewish mice and Rabbi Scratchy, who is reciting a Hebrew prayer: "Baruch atah adonai, alohienu melech haholahm, boray pur" (a familiar blessing said over wine). Scratchy then pulls out a scalpel to circumcise Itchy. Upon seeing the scalpel, Itchy shrieks in fear of circumcision. He jumps up on Scratchy's head, pulls his eyeballs out, and throws them out the window. Attempting to attack Itchy, Scratchy ends up cutting himself to pieces due to his loss of vision. Itchy picks them up and puts them through a mincer (the eyeballs strangely 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 in a cloth, and crushes it beneath his foot, shouting "Mousel Tov!" (a pun on "Mazel Tov") while the other mice clap. After the cartoon, Krusty says "And that's what I believe in now! Hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha!"
