'''Itchy and Scratchy''' are a super-violent cartoon cat and mouse duo in the style of ''Tom and Jerry'' featured on the ''[[Krusty the Clown]] Show''.
 
 
 
== Studio ==
 
The show is produced by Itchy & Scratchy International. The company was founded by Roger Meyers Sr, a controversial WWII filmmaker who made a career out of violent cartoons. Roger Meyers Jr has since taken over the company since the death of his father.
 
 
 
The origin of the show is one mired in mystery, whilst the Meyer's family claim everything in their show as their own, a homeless man named [[Chester Lampwick]] claimed that he was actually the creator of the character, Itchy, and that Meyers Sr. stole the idea from him. Lampwick, with the assistance of Bart, successfully sued the studio for 800 Billion Dollars, which, for a short while, saw the closure of the company until it was saved by two concerned youngsters, [[Lester and Eliza]]
 
 
 
== Spin-Offs ==
 
A short-lived spin-off of the original cartoon series was titled the "Itchy & Scratchy & Friends Hour", which featured the original characters Uncle Ant, Disgruntled Goat, and Ku Klux Klam. While the spin-off was cancelled, merchandise featuring these characters is still available. [[Itchy & Scratchy International|Itchy & Scratchy International's]] other characters include Flatulent Fox and Manic Mailman, but it is unclear whether these characters appeared in the Itchy & Scratchy & Friends Hour.

== Poochie Era ==
 
During a dip in the perennially popular show's ratings, a new dog character was added, named Poochie. [[Homer Simpson]] provided the voice for Poochie, who only co-starred with the cat and mouse for two episodes before his poorly-devised character was killed from the show. He briefly appears in [[Treehouse of Horror IX]] where he is run over by Itchy and Scratchy.
 
 
 
== Parody ==
 
Briefly, during the popularity of the Krusty Show's competitor [[The Gabbo Show]], the rights to air new episodes and the back catalog of Itchy and Scratchy went to the latter, forcing Krusty to replace it with a bizarre Eastern Europe cat and mouse cartoon "Worker and Parasite".
 
 
 
== Original Plans ==
 
During the early days of The Simpsons, Itchy and Scratchy were originally intended to only briefly parody Tom and Jerry, but their cartoon shorts proved very popular and became a regular part of the show.
