Poochie was character used when network executives decided that The Itchy and Scratchy Show needed an "update" to keep the interest of its audience, they devised Poochie, a cartoon dog "with an attitude".

Role in The Simpsons

Creation

After widespread auditions, Homer was chosen to provide Poochie's voice. The character debuted to an unreceptive audience following a massive publicity campaign; he only served to interfere with the well-oiled machine of hyperviolent slapstick that Itchy and Scratchy had perfected over the years.

Death

When dissatisfied viewers flooded the network with letters crying for Poochie's immediate removal, if not death, the executives quickly decided to get rid of the character. Homer begged for another chance, insisting that Poochie would grow on the audience; this argument held little weight until the actress who performed voices for both Itchy and Scratchy declared her support for Poochie as well. Homer was shocked, however, when the next cartoon aired: it contained a hastily-animated, retroscripted segment stating that Poochie had decided to return to his "home planet", and that he died on his flying way editidly after the network tricking Homer, in bloody letters said Note: Poochie died on his way back to his home planet, and Krusty is telling kids happilly "Poochie's dead!".

Role in The Simpsons Game

He is the main enemy on the Grand Theft Scratchy level. Acting and speaking like a rapper, he orders the Feline hos that were watching the show to destroy the Ice Cream cars Marge and Lisa reformed. Using her Hand of Buddha, Lisa defeats the prostitutes, while Marge sends the dogs to destroy the stage Poochie is standing on.

Cameos

He has since been seen once in a cameo at a funeral in an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon. Also in "Treehouse of Horror IX", he skateboards in the road and gets run over by Scratchy. He also continues to be released in Itchy & Scratchy related merchandise. Bart, at one point in the series, also claims that Poochie is one of his heroes.
