100-Yard Gash
Title Pun: 100-Yard Dash
Simpsons Episode: Lisa's First Word
Synopsis: The scene is at an Olympic Games. A fanfare is heard, and then the theme for Chariots of Fire begins playing. Scratchy is participating in the 100-Yard Dash event. Itchy nails Scratchy's skin to the floor. Scratchy takes off skinless and wins the race. Later, his skeleton is shown on a Wheaties box.
500-Yard Gash
Title Pun: 500-Yard Dash
Simpsons Episode: The Simpsons Hit & Run (video game)
This episode, which seems to be loosely based on "100-Yard Gash" (see above), appears in the video game The Simpsons Hit & Run once the player has collected all the collector cards. In this version, Itchy surreptitiously injects Scratchy with steroids just as the race is about to begin. At first, this makes Scratchy faster and stronger, allowing him to circle the earth several times in the time it takes Itchy to almost reach the finish line. However, the exertion takes its toll on Scratchy, and his heart literally explodes mere feet away from the finish line. The final scene shows Itchy on the winner's stand, holding Scratchy's head. This short is unique in that it was animated in cel-shaded 3D, like the rest of the game, as opposed to traditional animation.
500 Easy Pieces

Scratchy then pulls out a scalpel to circumcise Itchy. Seeing the scalpel makes Itchy agitated. He jumps up on Scratchy's head, pulls his eyeballs out, and throws them out the window. Attacking Itchy, Scratchy cuts himself to pieces. Itchy picks them up and puts them through a mincer (the eyeballs 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 and stamps on it while the other mice clap, shouting "Mazel Tov!" Krusty says "and that's what I believe in now! Hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha!"

It featured special introductory titles with a new theme song indicating the pair now "Love and Share" (Literally, you can see Itchy has a heart and Scratchy with some wrapped gifts) instead of "Fight and Bite".

Title Pun: Tears of a Clown
Simpsons Episode: Little Big Mom
Synopsis: Scratchy has recently died, and mourners (including Poochie from "The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show") visit his coffin at a funeral. Itchy is depressed and alcoholic without Scratchy, and he reminisces about all the times he killed him. He looks at a newspaper headline about a cloned sheep (Resembling Dolly the cloned Sheep) and he decides to make clones of Scratchy. He builds a cloning machine using a sample of Scratchy's blood from a meat cleaver to make Scratchy clones. As the clones come out from the machine, Itchy kills them all using various weapons. He can't keep up with the rate of the machine, similar to the famous I Love Lucy conveyor belt gag. After getting tired of killing Scratchy by hand, he builds a killing machine and puts it directly after the cloning machine. When the blood of the clones sprays out of the machine it spells "THE END" on the wall.

The result? Itchy goes off to train-driving school, studies madly, passes, receives a degree, attends the achievement celebration, applies for a job and at last hops into the train. Scratchy quickly tries to untie himself, though does not manage in time and is run over. All that remains is Scrathy's severed arms still trying to untangle the rope.
Itchy and Scratchy 2: As astronauts, Itchy and Scratchy have landed on the moon. There, Itchy impales Scratchy several times with the flag they were going to plant on the surface and cracks his air helmet open, causing Scratchy to apparently die of deoxidation. Back on Earth, Itchy is praised as a hero for being the first mouse on the moon and inexplicably becomes President, with Hillary Clinton as Vice President. It has been made apparent that Scratchy died on his own and Itchy tried to save him. However, Itchy discovers that Scratchy is still alive and going to tell everyone the truth. After desperately thinking (in scenes that resemble John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis), Itchy decides to launch an "accidental" missile launch towards the moon. As Scratchy screams, all the missiles enter his mouth, save for one which reveals a small boot-like contraption inside it and kicks him, causing him to explode.
