Itchy (The Simpsons)



Itchy is the villain in the Itchy & Scratchy Show, a parody of Tom & Jerry that play in The Simpsons world. A sadistic mouse, he loves torturing Scratchy, always killing him in some gruesome way in every episode.

In The Simpsons Movie, a movie of Itchy & Scratchy is being played, where both Itchy and Scratchy are astronauts who reached the Moon. Itchy trips Scratchy, leaving him in the Moon to die, while he goes back to Earth, lied to the public that he tried to rescue Scratchy although he did the opposite, and he ends up becoming president of USA. While looking into the Moon with a telescope, he sees Scratchy is still alive, threatening to tell everyone the truth. Itchy then shoots a salvo of rockets towards the Moon to kill Scratchy. Scratchy swallows the rockets and explode.

Scratchy was at one point able to tie Itchy to several dynamite and Scratchy escaped in a taxi car. It is untold what actually happened, but according to a Simpsons book, it was said that Scratchy never killed Itchy even once although he nearly did, so it was possible that Itchy was able to survive the near-death experience.

He is the playable character in the video game based on Itchy & Scratchy.
