[edit] 100-Yard Gash
Title Pun: 100-Yard Dash
Simpsons Episode: Lisa's First Word
Synopsis: The scene is at an Olympic Games. A fanfare is heard, and then the theme for Chariots of Fire begins playing. Scratchy is participating in the 100-Yard Dash event. Itchy nails Scratchy's skin to the floor. Scratchy takes off skinless and wins the race. Later, his skeleton is shown on a Wheaties box. This is one of the few Itchy and Scratchy episodes in which Scratchy ends up happy in the end, as his skeleton expression of the Wheaties box is cheerful.
[edit] 500-Yard Gash
Title Pun: 500-Yard Dash
Simpsons Episode: The Simpsons Hit & Run (video game)
This episode, which seems to be loosely based on "100-Yard Gash" (see above), appears in the video game The Simpsons Hit & Run once the player has collected all the collector cards. In this version, Itchy surreptitiously injects Scratchy with steroids just as the race is about to begin. At first, this makes Scratchy faster and stronger, allowing him to circle the earth several times in the time it takes Itchy to almost reach the finish line. However, the exertion takes its toll on Scratchy, and his heart literally explodes mere feet away from the finish line. The final scene shows Itchy on the winner's stand, holding Scratchy's head. This short is unique in that it was animated in cel-shaded 3D, like the rest of the game, as opposed to traditional animation.
[edit] 500 Easy Pieces
Title pun: Five Easy Pieces

Scratchy then pulls out a scalpel to circumcise Itchy. Seeing the scalpel makes Itchy agitated. He jumps up on Scratchy's head, pulls his eyeballs out, and throws them out the window. Attacking Itchy, Scratchy cuts himself to pieces. Itchy picks them up and puts them through a mincer (the eyeballs reappear) and applies the product to the end of a tube, then blows it in a fireplace as if it were made of glass, turning it into a goblet.

This situation is repeated three more times. Itchy hands Scratchy the bill (which is $100). When Scratchy sees the bill he shrieks and his head explodes.
James L. Brooks, on the commentary for Lisa the Vegetarian, commented that the concept came from a story that had written during high school, but, not being able to fit in a suitable ending, the writers just stuck in a simple, tongue-in-cheek concept of Scratchy's head exploding from the impact of the over-expensive bill.

Synoposis: Itchy and Scratchy show guests what can happen to them if they don't follow ride rules, as 'legally required' introduced by Sideshow Bob. Scratchy is ready to run into the ride ride room when Itchy nails his tail to the floor, causing his skin to be ripped off. Itchy and Scratchy place their loose articles against the ride room walls, and Scratchy bangs his head while trying to enter the vehicle, followed by Itchy banging him with a mallet. Scratchy then pulls down his lap bar, and stresses too much that he rips off the lap bar- and his head, while Itchy calmly pulls down his lap bar. Scratchy puts his arm around his girlfriend and his hand gets close to Itchy. Annoyed, Itchy then pulls Scratchy's arm outside and around thre ride vehicle and closes the doors causing Scratchy's arm to be sliced off. Scratchy then begins to use photography on the ride, causing multiple giant missles to be shot at him, destroying his camera and burning off his skin. Itchy then safely puts his camera in his pocket. The episode ends with a list of the safety reminders.

[edit] The Itchy & Scratchy Movies
Simpsons Episodes: Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie & The Simpsons Movie (a sequel to this film)
Synopsis:
The Itchy & Scratchy Movie: Only a short scene that runs very fast is shown: Scratchy is tied to a train track. Itchy tries to get into a train to over Scratchy, but must get a degree to ride first. The result? Itchy goes off to train-driving school, studies madly, passes, receives a degree, attends the achievement celebration, applies for a job and at last hops into the train. Scratchy quickly tries to untie himself, though does not manage in time and is run over. All that remains is Scrathy's severed arms still trying to untangle the rope.
Itchy and Scratchy 2: As astronauts, Itchy and Scratchy have landed on the moon. There, Itchy impales Scratchy several times with the flag they were going to plant on the surface and cracks his air helmet open, causing Scratchy to apparently die of deoxidation. Back on Earth, Itchy is praised as a hero for being the first mouse on the moon and inexplicably becomes President, with Hillary Clinton as Vice President. It has been made apparent that Scratchy died on his own and Itchy tried to save him. However, Itchy discovers that Scratchy is still alive and going to tell everyone the truth. After desperately thinking (in scenes that resemble John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis), Itchy decides to launch an "accidental" missile launch towards the moon. As Scratchy screams, all the missiles enter his mouth, save for one which reveals a small boot-like contraption inside it and kicks him, causing him to explode.
