1. The Simpsons.
Copy !req
2. Mmm, delicious.
Copy !req
3. Now, Krusty,
I hear it's your birthday.
Copy !req
4. So, I got your mother's recipe
for matzo balls.
Copy !req
5. Hey, I don't do the Jewish
stuff on the air.
Copy !req
6. But, Herschel, bubelah...
Copy !req
7. Ix-nay on the Ew-jay.
Copy !req
8. Roll the cartoon!
Copy !req
9. It's so sad that Krusty
is ashamed of his roots.
Copy !req
10. Marge,
it happened again.
Copy !req
11. What are you gonna
change your name to
Copy !req
12. when you grow up?
Copy !req
13. Lois Sanborn.
Copy !req
14. Steve Bennett.
Copy !req
15. They fight, and fight.
Copy !req
16. They fight and fight
and fight.
Copy !req
17. Fight, fight, fight,
fight, fight, fight.
Copy !req
18. The Itchy & Scratch show.
Copy !req
19. This is a rather
lifeless outing.
Copy !req
20. Don't worry, they're building
to something.
Copy !req
21. Kids, say "no" to drugs.
Copy !req
22. I could pull a
better cartoon out of my a...
Copy !req
23. Hey, whoa,
wasn't that great, kids?
Copy !req
24. That's as bad as the tasteless
Itchy and Sambo cartoons
Copy !req
25. of the late '30s.
Copy !req
26. The writers should be
ashamed of themselves.
Copy !req
27. Cartoons have writers?
Copy !req
28. Yeah, sort of.
Copy !req
29. Oh yeah, well, you and I
could write
Copy !req
30. a better cartoon
than that.
Copy !req
31. Write a cartoon ourselves?
Copy !req
32. Bart, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Copy !req
33. Probably not.
Copy !req
34. Lie in the snow
and count to 60.
Copy !req
35. Hi-yah!
Copy !req
36. Merry Christmas, suckers.
Copy !req
37. "Third notice?"
Copy !req
38. "Final notice?"
Copy !req
39. "Some guys are coming?"
Copy !req
40. What's this?
Copy !req
41. An invitation
to our high school reunion!
Copy !req
42. Gee, that's odd.
Copy !req
43. They didn't send one
to you.
Copy !req
44. This is it, Homer.
Copy !req
45. It's time to tell her
Copy !req
46. the terrible secret
from your past.
Copy !req
47. Marge, I ate those fancy soaps
you bought for the bathroom.
Copy !req
48. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
49. No, the other secret.
Copy !req
50. Marge, I never graduated
from high school.
Copy !req
51. That still doesn't explain
why you ate my soap.
Copy !req
52. Wait, maybe it does.
Copy !req
53. I never passed
Remedial Science 1A.
Copy !req
54. And you're a nuclear technician?
Copy !req
55. Marge, ix-nay on the
uclear-nay echnician-tay.
Copy !req
56. What did you say?
Copy !req
57. I don't know.
I flunked Latin too.
Copy !req
58. According to this book
Copy !req
59. the first thing we need
is a setting.
Copy !req
60. Okay, settings...
Settings... settings...
Copy !req
61. Setting...
Copy !req
62. How about a barber shop?
Copy !req
63. Great!
Copy !req
64. Scratchy's getting a haircut.
Copy !req
65. Then Itchy, the barber,
Copy !req
66. chops Scratchy's head off
with the razor.
Copy !req
67. Ah, too predictable.
Copy !req
68. The way I see it,
instead of shampoo,
Copy !req
69. Itchy covers Scratchy's hair
with Bar-B-Q sauce.
Copy !req
70. Opens a box
Copy !req
71. of flesh-eating ants
Copy !req
72. and the rest writes itself.
Copy !req
73. Hey, this show ain't
no good.
Copy !req
74. Finished.
Copy !req
75. Now, all we have to do
is put our names on it.
Copy !req
76. Fine...
Put my name first.
Copy !req
77. No way.
Copy !req
78. All right,
then to decide it
Copy !req
79. I propose a race
around the world.
Copy !req
80. Meet me at Leicester Square
at noon tomorrow.
Copy !req
81. The queen herself shall
drop the checkered flag.
Copy !req
82. Look, there's only
one reasonable way
Copy !req
83. to settle this.
Copy !req
84. Rock, paper, scissors.
Copy !req
85. Poor predictable Bart.
Copy !req
86. Always takes rock.
Copy !req
87. Good old rock.
Copy !req
88. Nothing beats that.
Copy !req
89. - Rock.
- Paper.
Copy !req
90. You call this writing?
Copy !req
91. If I puked
in a fountain pen
Copy !req
92. and mailed it to the monkey
house I'd get better scripts.
Copy !req
93. But, sir, at Harvard...
Copy !req
94. Oh, at Harvard they taught you...
Hit the streets, egghead.
Copy !req
95. You should have majored
in not getting fired.
Copy !req
96. Sir, a Lisa and
Bart Simpson
Copy !req
97. sent you a script.
Copy !req
98. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
99. "Dear Mr. Meyers:
Copy !req
100. "My brother and I
watch your show.
Copy !req
101. "You should be proud
that children everywhere..."
Copy !req
102. Blah-blah-blah,
bling-bling-bling, blah.
Copy !req
103. Hey, egghead!
Copy !req
104. Sing "Fair Harvard."
Copy !req
105. Fair, Harvard.
Copy !req
106. I...
Copy !req
107. You, sir, have
the boorish manners
Copy !req
108. of a Yalie.
Copy !req
109. Here's a witty
rejoinder for ya!
Copy !req
110. Bart, they rejected
our script.
Copy !req
111. I guess we're just not
cut out to be writers.
Copy !req
112. Maybe he just doesn't
take us seriously
Copy !req
113. 'cause we're kids.
Copy !req
114. Let's put a grown-up's
name on it.
Copy !req
115. How about Grandpa?
He's pretty out of it.
Copy !req
116. He let those guys use his
checkbook for a whole year.
Copy !req
117. When I read your magazine,
Copy !req
118. I don't see one wrinkled face
or a single toothless grin.
Copy !req
119. For shame!
Copy !req
120. To the sickos
at Modern Bride magazine.
Copy !req
121. Hey, Grandpa.
Copy !req
122. We need to know
your first name.
Copy !req
123. You're making my tombstone!
Copy !req
124. No, we're just curious.
Copy !req
125. All right, let's see...
First name, first name.
Copy !req
126. Well, whenever I'm confused,
I just check my underwear.
Copy !req
127. It holds the answer to all
of the important questions.
Copy !req
128. Call me Abraham Simpson.
Copy !req
129. Grandpa, how did you
take off your underwear
Copy !req
130. without taking off your pants?
Copy !req
131. I don't know.
Copy !req
132. What?
Copy !req
133. Sir, you locked my office,
Copy !req
134. and I wanted to get
my Harvard mug.
Copy !req
135. Shut up!
Copy !req
136. Roxie, get me Abraham Simpson.
Copy !req
137. Phone call, Simpson.
Copy !req
138. Yeah?
Copy !req
139. Is this the Abraham Simpson
Copy !req
140. who wrote the Itchy and
Scratchy episode?
Copy !req
141. Itchy and what?
Copy !req
142. You must be some kind
of crazy person.
Copy !req
143. I'm sorry, but we have
a substantial check here
Copy !req
144. for a Mr. Abraham Simpson.
Copy !req
145. That's right.
I did the Iggy.
Copy !req
146. Ah, my high school yearbook.
Copy !req
147. You handsome devil.
Copy !req
148. "I can't believe
I ate the whole thing."
Copy !req
149. "Activities: None.
Copy !req
150. "Sports: None.
Copy !req
151. Honors: None."
Copy !req
152. So many memories.
Copy !req
153. Time to go to the reunion.
Copy !req
154. It will be great to see
the old gang again.
Copy !req
155. Potsie, Ralph Malph, the Fonz.
Copy !req
156. That was "Happy Days."
Copy !req
157. No, they weren't all happy days.
Copy !req
158. Like the time Pinky Tuscadero
crashed her motorcycle
Copy !req
159. or the night I lost all
my money to those cardsharps
Copy !req
160. and my dad, Tom Bosley,
had to get it back.
Copy !req
161. Hello,
Principal Dondalinger.
Copy !req
162. Oh, Marge Bouvier,
it's so good to see you.
Copy !req
163. Sorry, sir.
Copy !req
164. We're not letting vagrants
sleep in the gym tonight
Copy !req
165. but we will be putting some
scraps by the back door.
Copy !req
166. Oh, it's you, Simpson.
Copy !req
167. Eech.
Copy !req
168. Look. There's Bobby Mindich,
the class clown.
Copy !req
169. I am not a crook.
Copy !req
170. Richard Nixon.
Copy !req
171. I know.
Copy !req
172. Do the hustle.
Copy !req
173. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
174. It's my old boyfriend
Artie Ziff.
Copy !req
175. Hello, Marge.
Have you heard?
Copy !req
176. I'm stinking rich.
Jealous?
Copy !req
177. I'll bet you'd trade it all
for one night with my wife.
Copy !req
178. I would.
Copy !req
179. Homer!
Copy !req
180. Hey, man, it's Dave.
Copy !req
181. Open up, man.
Copy !req
182. Dave's not here, man.
Copy !req
183. Okay, now let's move on.
Copy !req
184. The guy's so high
Copy !req
185. he doesn't even
know that's Dave.
Copy !req
186. Homer. Homer?
Copy !req
187. Homer's not here, man.
Copy !req
188. Okay. Very good.
Copy !req
189. Now let's get on with our
Copy !req
190. really big show.
Copy !req
191. Ed Sullivan.
Copy !req
192. First, the award for the alumnus
who's gained the most weight.
Copy !req
193. - Homer Simpson.
- Oh, my God!
Copy !req
194. How did you do it, Homer?
Copy !req
195. I discovered a meal
between breakfast and brunch.
Copy !req
196. And now, the award
for most improved odor.
Copy !req
197. Homer Simpson.
Copy !req
198. Yes!
Copy !req
199. And the person who traveled
the least distance to be here...
Copy !req
200. Well, kiss my grits.
Copy !req
201. Homer Simpson.
Copy !req
202. What can I say?
Copy !req
203. It hasn't been easy
staying in my rut.
Copy !req
204. Class of '74
Copy !req
205. I was just leafing through
your permanent records
Copy !req
206. when I discovered
something shocking.
Copy !req
207. Homer Simpson never passed
Remedial Science 1A
Copy !req
208. and thus never graduated
from high school.
Copy !req
209. I'm sorry, Simpson, I'm gonna
have to take back those awards.
Copy !req
210. This is Howard Cosmell.
Copy !req
211. Homer Simpson is a boob.
Copy !req
212. What do you think, J.J.?
Copy !req
213. Dyno-mite!
Copy !req
214. Didn't graduate?
Copy !req
215. How low can you get?
Copy !req
216. Barney, where's
your cummerbund?
Copy !req
217. It fell in the toilet.
Copy !req
218. Marge, I have my pride.
Copy !req
219. I'm going to go
to night school,
Copy !req
220. earn my high school diploma
Copy !req
221. and get back my
"most improved odor" trophy.
Copy !req
222. You're a comedy writer?
Copy !req
223. My God, you're so old.
Copy !req
224. I want my check!
Copy !req
225. You're a writer, all right.
Copy !req
226. All right,
here you go, Simpson.
Copy !req
227. I want another one!
Copy !req
228. You're a funny guy.
Copy !req
229. How would you like a staff job,
I'll start you at $800 a week?
Copy !req
230. My chest hurts.
Copy !req
231. All right, leeches.
Copy !req
232. I want you to see what
a good writer looks like.
Copy !req
233. His name is Abraham Simpson,
and he's got something
Copy !req
234. you couldn't get
at your fancy schools...
Copy !req
235. Life experience.
Copy !req
236. Actually, I wrote my thesis
on life experience and...
Copy !req
237. Quiet!
Copy !req
238. Abe, tell them about
your amazing life.
Copy !req
239. I spent 40 years
as a night watchman
Copy !req
240. at a cranberry silo.
Copy !req
241. Wow!
Copy !req
242. So, this patch steadily
releases nicotine into my body
Copy !req
243. eliminating my need
for cigarettes.
Copy !req
244. Roll the cartoon.
Copy !req
245. The Itchy & Scratchy Show.
Copy !req
246. Bart, our cartoon's on TV!
Copy !req
247. All right!
Copy !req
248. Turn up the volume.
Copy !req
249. Erosion is a slow
but steady process.
Copy !req
250. Ah, this show ain't no good.
Copy !req
251. They fought and bit.
Copy !req
252. They fought and fought
and bit.
Copy !req
253. Fought, fought, fought
bit, bit, bit.
Copy !req
254. It was the Itchy
& Scratchy show.
Copy !req
255. Bart, Lisa, I have
something to tell you
Copy !req
256. and I'm not proud of it.
Copy !req
257. Dad, whatever you say,
Copy !req
258. you know you'll always
have my love and respect.
Copy !req
259. I never graduated
from high school.
Copy !req
260. Hello, son.
Copy !req
261. I was on my way home
from work
Copy !req
262. and thought I'd drop by.
Copy !req
263. Oh... you have a job?
Copy !req
264. They pay me $800 a week
Copy !req
265. to tell a cat and mouse
what to do.
Copy !req
266. I see.
Copy !req
267. La, la-la, la-la, la-la.
Copy !req
268. La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la,
la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la...
Copy !req
269. Dad, can we talk to
Grandpa alone for a minute?
Copy !req
270. All right, but if he
starts to wig out
Copy !req
271. try to lure him
into the cellar.
Copy !req
272. Then we put your name
on the script and sent it in.
Copy !req
273. Didn't you wonder why
you were getting checks
Copy !req
274. for doing absolutely
nothing?
Copy !req
275. I figured 'cause the Democrats
were in power again.
Copy !req
276. Grandpa, we could write
the scripts for you
Copy !req
277. and split the money
three ways.
Copy !req
278. I don't know.
Copy !req
279. I'd better sleep on it.
Copy !req
280. Grandpa?
Copy !req
281. - Grandpa!
- Ah! Duh!
Copy !req
282. Oh, why did you wake me?
Copy !req
283. I was having the nicest dream.
Copy !req
284. I dreamt I was the queen
of the old west.
Copy !req
285. I kept a six-shooter
in my garter, I did.
Copy !req
286. - Do we have a deal?
- Sure, sure.
Copy !req
287. Boys, stop!
Copy !req
288. You can both marry me.
Copy !req
289. Whoo!
Copy !req
290. Whoo! Yee-hee!
Copy !req
291. Hey, how would you kids like
a tour of the studio?
Copy !req
292. Yay!
Copy !req
293. Abe, you coming?
Copy !req
294. - Any stairs?
- Just one.
Copy !req
295. Nuts to you.
Copy !req
296. Wow, it must be expensive
to produce all these cartoons.
Copy !req
297. Well,
we cut corners.
Copy !req
298. Sometimes,
to save money
Copy !req
299. our animators will reuse
the same backgrounds
Copy !req
300. over and over
and over again.
Copy !req
301. Welcome to Remedial Science 1A.
Copy !req
302. My wife recently passed away.
Copy !req
303. I thought teaching
might ease my loneliness.
Copy !req
304. Will this be on the test?
Copy !req
305. No.
Copy !req
306. Hey, Mel, bring
me another nicotine patch.
Copy !req
307. I think there's some space
on my butt.
Copy !req
308. And now here's another fine
Itchy & Scratchy cartoon
Copy !req
309. by Abraham Simpson.
Copy !req
310. Yay!
Copy !req
311. Now I'm going to burn
this doughnut to show you
Copy !req
312. how many calories
it has.
Copy !req
313. No!
Copy !req
314. The bright blue flame
indicates this was
Copy !req
315. a particularly
sweet doughnut.
Copy !req
316. This is not happening.
Copy !req
317. This is not happening.
Copy !req
318. Dear Mr. President:
Copy !req
319. There are too many
states nowadays.
Copy !req
320. Please eliminate three.
Copy !req
321. I am not a crackpot.
Copy !req
322. Good news, Abe.
Copy !req
323. Who are you?
Copy !req
324. No, no, you've been
nominated for an award.
Copy !req
325. You're so good,
I fired the other writers.
Copy !req
326. From now on, the fate
of the entire company
Copy !req
327. rests on that delightful
coconut of yours.
Copy !req
328. Oh, no,
we're all doomed.
Copy !req
329. I'm a complete fraud.
Copy !req
330. Sorry, I didn't catch
any of that.
Copy !req
331. And now I got to go.
Copy !req
332. All right,
here are your exams.
Copy !req
333. 50 questions,
true or false.
Copy !req
334. True.
Copy !req
335. Homer, I was just
describing the test.
Copy !req
336. - True.
- Look, Homer,
Copy !req
337. just take the test
and you'll do fine.
Copy !req
338. False.
Copy !req
339. All right, brain,
Copy !req
340. you don't like me,
and I don't like you
Copy !req
341. but let's just do this
Copy !req
342. and I can get back
to killing you with beer.
Copy !req
343. It's a deal.
Copy !req
344. Thank you for this award.
Copy !req
345. It is a tribute
to this great country
Copy !req
346. that a man who once took
a shot at Teddy Roosevelt
Copy !req
347. could win back your trust.
Copy !req
348. Yo, Grandpa,
time for the awards.
Copy !req
349. Did you call the girl
from the escort service?
Copy !req
350. They said their insurance
won't cover you.
Copy !req
351. That's an onion
in the ointment.
Copy !req
352. And now to present the award
Copy !req
353. for outstanding writing
in a cartoon series,
Copy !req
354. Krusty the Clown
and Brooke Shields.
Copy !req
355. Well, here we are...
Copy !req
356. The star of "The Blue Lagoon"
and me, the blue-haired goon.
Copy !req
357. What the...
Copy !req
358. That's terrible.
Copy !req
359. Cartoons have the power to make
us laugh and to make us cry.
Copy !req
360. Wouldn't you agree,
Krusty?
Copy !req
361. First of all,
my hair is green, not blue.
Copy !req
362. I got nothing to work
with here. Nothing.
Copy !req
363. Well, at least I can
take off this girdle.
Copy !req
364. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
365. The nominees for best writing
in a cartoon series are:
Copy !req
366. Strongdar, Master of Acom.

371. Ren and Stimpy.
Season premiere.
Copy !req
372. And finally,
Itchy & Scratchy.
Copy !req
373. The "Little Barber Shop

Copy !req
374. Cross my fingers for me.
Copy !req
375. That's gonna hurt
come winter.
Copy !req
376. And the winner is...
Copy !req
377. "Itchy & Scratchy.
Copy !req
378. Abraham Simpson,
writer."
Copy !req
379. All right, Grandpa, whoo!
Copy !req
380. That was the first time
I ever saw Itchy & Scratchy
Copy !req
381. and I didn't like it one bit.
Copy !req
382. It was disgusting and violent.
Copy !req
383. I think all you people
are despicable.
Copy !req
384. For shame!
Copy !req
385. He's right. We've been
wasting our lives.
Copy !req
386. The hell with cartoons.
Copy !req
387. I'm gonna do
what I've always dreamed of.
Copy !req
388. I want to write that sitcom
about the sassy robot.
Copy !req
389. Here, kids, I guess
you deserve this.
Copy !req
390. Let's go.
Copy !req
391. I guess nobody likes
the truth, huh, Grandpa?
Copy !req
392. Nope.
Copy !req
393. I'll never watch
an awards show again
Copy !req
394. unless that delightful
Billy Crystal is involved.
Copy !req
395. Marge, I passed!
Copy !req
396. That's wonderful, Homie.
Copy !req
397. At our next high school reunion
Copy !req
398. I'll have nothing
to be ashamed of.
Copy !req
