That woman. That screwball, Marge Simpson. We've got to stop her. But how?
|
Drop an anvil on her?
|
Hit her on the head with a piano?
|
Stuff her full of TNT, then throw a match down her throat and run?
|
All your fancy degrees and that's the best you can do? You make me sick.
|
Hmmm. Ah ha! I'm so funny.
|
You know, some of these stories are pretty good. I never know mice lived such interesting lives.
|
So much needless brutality. I don't know if I'm having any impact at all.
|
Don't do that! Don't do that! Hey! Don't DO that!
|
Take that you dumb squirrel.
|
Mmmmmmmph!
|
Where do they get their ideas?
|
What is it? What? "Smartline?" Yes, I've heard of your late-night panel discussion show. Well, I'd love to.
|
"Smartline!" With our local Emmy-award winning, host... Kent Brockman.
|
There she is!
|
Thank you.
|
Hi, Kent!
|
Me and the guys went fishing. Almost caught a catfish this big.
|
There's nothing wrong with it.
|
Excuse me. Excuse me. He was addressing me.
|
I know. There's nothing wrong with it.
|
Excuse me. There is! I think that it's a bad influence on children.
|
Oh, give me a break! I think that is a bunch of baloney. And here's why. In preparing for this debate, I did a little research and I discovered a startling thing. There was violence in the past, long before cartoons were invented.
|
Yeah, and there was something called the Crusades, for instance. Tremendous violence! Many people killed! The darn thing went on for thirty years.
|
That's right, Kent. So much for your viewpoint.
|
Ah, well, Kent... to me, the high jinks - of a few comic characters absolutely pale in comparison with the crippling emotional problems a psychiatrist runs into every day. I'm… I'm referring here to women who love too much, fear of winning, sexaholism... stuff like that.
|
No, not at all. In fact, one of my guilty little pleasures is to snuggle up with a big bucket of buttered popcorn, dim the lights, turn on Itchy & Scratchy, and laugh myself silly. And what the hell is wrong with that?
|
Hi kids!!!
|
Oh. I'm sorry, Kent. It's just that when the camera gets on me... ... HEY HEY!!!
|
Yes. I'd like to ask all the parents in Springfield who are concerned about this to write in and let the cartoon makers know how you feel. Thank you.
|
I don't believe this... "I will never watch your show, buy any of your products... or brake if I see you crossing the street." Wow, that's cold.
|
"Dear Sleaze Merchant" -- Now, come on, that hurts.
|
Gentlemen, the screwballs have spoken.
|
Is this Marge Simpson?
|
The Marge Simpson who fixed it so cartoons can't be violent anymore?
|
This is Myers. I'm here with the writers. Listen, you're so smart, how do we end this picture?
|
Well... what's the problem you're having?
|
Okay, here it is. Itchy just stole Scratchy's ice cream cone...
|
Make it a pie. Pies are easier to draw.
|
Okay, a pie. Anyway, Scratchy is understandably upset.
|
Huh huh.
|
So we figured he could - you know - just grab Itchy and toss him in a bucket of acid.
|
Oh dear!
|
But then we remembered that this might be interpreted as violence which is morally wrong now, thanks to you. So what's your big idea? How do we end this?
|
Well... let's see... Oh! couldn't Itchy share his pie with Scratchy? Then they would both have pie.
|
It's different, I'll give you that.
|
It's a tool that every home handyman needs. It's a jigsaw! It's a power drill! It's a wood-turning lathe!
|
Borrowed?
|
It's an asphalt spreader! It's sixty- seven tools in one! How much would you pay for a machine that can do all this?
|
One thousand dollars.
|
Don't answer yet...
|
Oh, sorry.
|
... because you also get...
|
I was watching that.
|
It's time for Krusty.
|
You mean we can watch cartoons again, Mom?
|
Yes, dear. All you want.
|
All right!
|
Turn it up!
|
Hey kids! It's time for Itchy & Scratchy!
|
They love / they share / They share and love and share / love love love / share share share / The Itchy & Scratchy Showwww!
|
Lemonade?
|
Please!
|
I made it just for you.
|
You are my best friend.
|
Itchy and Scratchy seem to have lost their edge.
|
I think it conveys a very nice message of sharing.
|
I think it sucks.
|
... Oh, hey, thank you, Maggie.
|
Mmmm, this really hits the spot.
|
Doesn't it though?
|
You really make good lemonade, Scratchy.
|
Oh, oh, oh. Thank you, Itchy.
|
Wasn't that funny, boys and girls? Well? Wasn't it?
|
Aren't you going to watch the rest of your cute cartoons?
|
Nah. Come on, Lis.
|
Maybe there's something else to do on this planet.
|
... but the third bowl of porridge was j-u-u-u-s-t right.
|
Hi kids!
|
What is it? Is this Saturday?
|
So what did you kids do today?
|
Sit down, boy!
|
And Janey and I went bird watching. We saw a grackle.
|
That's nice dear.
|
Come on, Lis. Let's go finish our soapbox racers.
|
Okay. May we please be excused?
|
Wow. What great kids. This is the golden age, Marge. And the parents of Springfield owe it all to you.
|
I didn't really expect things to change this much.
|
Well, I always knew you'd change the world, for the better.
|
This will be the art event of the century. The greatest masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo's David, on a coast-to-coast tour of the United States.
|
Ah, sir. Which cities will be included in your itinerary?
|
Eh! New York...
|
Hmmm hmmm.
|
... Springfield...
|
... and if we have time, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles.
|
Marge, get the door.
|
What in the world?
|
Get dressed, Marge. You've got to lead our protest against this abomination!
|
Hmmm, but that's Michelangelo's David. It's a masterpiece!
|
It's filth. It graphically portrays parts of the human body which - practical as they may be... are evil!
