"Moo Goo Gai Pain" is an episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show.

Plot

Scratchy notices an "All You Can Eat Cat Special" at Mickey Mao's Chinese restaurant; unfortunately, when he asks waiter Itchy what's on the menu, Itchy opens up a menu that reads "You". Scratchy suddenly realizes he's being sautéed alive in a skillet by Itchy, who chops him up, sprinkles soy sauce, red pepper, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) on his pieces and serves them to a table full of mouse customers, who quickly eat all of Scratchy except his head. An hour later, they then pick off the skin and flesh from his head, leaving only his skull (a nod to the stereotype of Chinese food causing further hunger in those who consume it one hour after).

Trivia

• Scratchy being turned into Chinese food is a reference to the negative stereotype of Chinese people eating cats.
  • Scratchy also ends up as Chinese food in "The Great Brawl of China".
