The Itchy & Scratchy Show Episode Information
|
"What's Nuked, Pussycat?" is an episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show. It was written and directed by Charles Montgomery Burns.
Plot
Scratchy is protesting outside the Nuclear Power Plant, when Itchy spears him with a forklift truck, telling Scratchy about the benefits of nuclear power, such as generating energy for the local orphanage and hospital. When Scratchy suggests using wind power, deeming it both cheap and safe, Itchy refutes this claim by driving Scratchy up to a wind turbine, and Scratchy is decapitated by the turbine's spinning blades. An eagle caricature of Mr. Burns (voiced by Burns himself) flies into frame, telling viewers that "Nuclear power is your friend, and so is Monty Burns". Scratchy's head, still stuck to the blade of the wind turbine, tells viewers to "vote Republican", with Itchy saying "God Bless America!", before adding "This cartoon was made in Korea."
Behind the Laughter
What's Nuked Pussycat is a play on the 1965 Screwball comedyWhat's New Pussycat? and the movie's title song by Burt Bacharach and sung by Tom Jones.
