I love you too, son. You know, boy, I don't think I've ever felt as close to you as I do right --
|
I'm going to make it! I'm going to make it! This is the greatest thrill of my life! I'm king of the world! Woo hoo! Woo hoo!! I--
|
You think you've got guts, try raising my kids.
|
A dash of rosemary... a smidgin of thyme... a pinch of marjoram...
|
You know, Marge, you make the best pork chops in the whole world.
|
Oh now, Homer, they're nothing special. The extra ingredient is care.
|
A sprinkle of chervil, half a teaspoon of turmeric... and a whisper of MSG.
|
Marge, I'm gonna build you a spice rack!
|
You don't have to go to all that trouble just for me.
|
It's no trouble. I've got a whole garageful of tools I never use.
|
Hey, kids! I spy Itchy and Scratchy off the port bow!
|
Hey, down in front!
|
Shut up, boy.
|
THEY FIGHT, THEY BITE / THEY FIGHT AND BITE AND FIGHT / FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT / BITE, BITE, BITE / THE ITCHY AND SCRATCHY SHOW.
|
I knew all this stuff would come in handy some day. Let's see now... ah, here it is. The Complete Handyman's Bookshelf. Volume One. Spice Rack.
|
Pick - up - a - ham - mer...
|
Wowww....
|
Hey, Dad. Can you move your head?
|
No, I can't. It's broken.
|
Humph... where would an innocent child get the idea to attack her father with a mallet?
|
No, Maggie! Bad baby!
|
Keep her away from me, Marge! She's got that crazy look in her eyes again.
|
So television's responsible.
|
Hey, Mom. What're doing?/We were watching that!
|
Well, you won't be watching these cartoons anymore. Ever.
|
But, Mom! If you take our cartoons away, we'll grow up without a sense of humor and be robots.
|
Really? What kind of robots?
|
I heard about the cartoons. Tough break, man.
|
Thanks, Nelson.
|
Hey, what if you watch Itchy and Scratchy over at my house?
|
Hey... That's just crazy enough to work.
|
You heard me. I won't be in for the rest of the week. I told you. My baby beat me up. Oh, it is not the worst excuse I ever thought up. Wise guy.
|
I wonder why Bart and Lisa are so late getting home from school?
|
Hey, how come you can watch cartoons but the kids can't?
|
Because.
|
Because why?
|
Because I said so.
|
Because you said so, why?
|
Homer! I'm trying to work!
|
Oh. What are you doing?
|
I'm cataloguing the violence in these cartoons. I don't think adults have ever actually sat down and watched them before.
|
What kind of warped human being would find that funny?
|
Heh, heh, heh.
|
This is the kind of entertainment they think is suitable for younger and more impressionable viewers?
|
Yeah, but what are ya gonna do?
|
I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to write a letter.
|
Dear Purveyors of Senseless Violence: I know this may sound silly at first...
|
... but I believe that the cartoons you show to our children are influencing their behavior in a negative way...
|
... please try to tone down the psychotic violence...
|
"... in your otherwise fine programming. Yours truly, Marge Simpson."
|
Take a letter, Miss White. "Dear Valued Viewer: Thank you for taking an interest in the Itchy and Scratchy Program. Enclosed is a personally autographed photo of America's favorite cat and mouse team to add to your collection."
|
"In regards to your specific comments about the show, our research indicates that one person cannot make a difference, no matter how big a screwball she is. So, let me close by saying...
|
... and the horse I rode in on!?
|
Everybody's looking at us, Marge.
|
Well, that's what we want them to do, Homer.
|
Oh. Well, how long are we going to have to be doing this?
|
Well, I've never changed the world before, so I don't know how long it takes exactly. But if enough people take an interest...
|
Hello, Marge! Oh what is "S-N-U-H?"
|
It stands for "Springfieldians
|
Huh huh.
|
for Nonviolence, Understanding and Helping."
|
I've started a crusade against cartoon violence.
|
Hmmm, hmmm.
|
I can protect my own children.
|
Hmmm, hmmm.
|
but there are many others whose minds are being warped every afternoon at four.
|
That reminds me. I've gotta get over to Milhouse's and... uh... play sports.
|
All right.
|
And I'm going over to Janey's again. We're going to be... um... making the most of our childhood years.
|
Have fun.
|
We will.
|
Oh, oh, baby!
|
And what happens when a child grows up with insanely violent role models like these?
|
The answer is all around you.
|
How many of you were hit on the head with mallets last week?
|
I didn't know they still made TV dinners this bad.
|
After dinner, can I watch cartoons?
|
There's peas in my fruit cobbler.
|
There's peas everywhere.
|
Oop, I guess I'll just go and watch some cartoons.
|
No. I'm sorry about the dinners. I'll make up for it tomorrow night.
|
Hey, who's up for some cartoons?
|
No one.
|
All right.
|
Hey, tomorrow night, how about making some of your patented pork chops?
|
Hmmm, sure. Oh, dear. I can't. I've got three protest rallies tomorrow.
|
Twenty million women in the world and I had to marry Jane Fonda.
|
Guess what, Sideshow Mel? It's time for Itchy & Scratchy!
|
Hey, hey. Settle down, boys and girls, or Krusty will have to bring out his old friend Corporal Punishment again.
|
Please . Stop it. What's going... Who are you people?
|
What do we want?
|
Substantially-less-violence-in-children's-programming!
|
When do we want it?
|
What do we want?
|
HER GROUP
|
Substantially-less
|
violence-in children's-program-ming.
|
No! You're ruining the show. Oh... Oh... Oh. Stop.
|
Please stop. Please. Be quiet.
|
Oh, please. All right. I'm trying to earn a living here. All right! Stop! Stop!
