"Burning Down the Mouse" is an episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show.

Bart and Lisa are very excited to see this cartoon. Before it starts, Lisa says, "It's the one where Scratchy finally gets Itchy!"

Plot (Partial)[edit]

Scratchy's pyrotechnic revenge on Itchy.
Itchy is tied to a pole while Scratchy places large amounts of explosives on and around him:
  • Sticks of dynamite jammed into Itchy's eyes and ears (Scratchy then lights the fuses)
  • A hat and beard molded from plastic explosive and stuck onto Itchy
  • Two hand grenades hung from Itchy's ears like earrings
  • Two nuclear bombs aimed directly at Itchy's eyes
  • Crates of TNT and nitroglycerine, bundles of dynamite sticks, and other assorted explosives stacked around and under the two bombs

Scratchy lights the fuse on a bundle of dynamite sticks, hails a cab, gets in, and drives away. Itchy frantically struggles to escape while the fuses on the dynamite burn shorter and shorter.

Bart, watching the cartoon, says, "My purpose in life is to witness this moment." Just as everything is about to blow up, the Simpsons' TV shuts off.

Aftermath[edit]

Benjamin, one of the trio of nerds staying with the Simpsons at the time, had unplugged the TV to plug in a rock tumbler. By the time Bart and Lisa get him to plug the TV back in, the cartoon is over. The children watching in the studio cheer loudly, and Krusty the Clown comes on-screen and says, "WOW! They'll never let us show that again! Not in a million years!" Bart and Lisa are anguished about missing the end of the cartoon, and furious at Benjamin and the other two nerds.

Continuity[edit]

Itchy's and Scratchy's roles are reversed in the comic story Heinous Funnies: Kill 'Er Up With Regular: In the comic, Itchy ties Scratchy to a gas pump, places a bomb and a bundle of dynamite sticks on him, lights the fuse on the bomb and drives away.
