Itchy and Scratchy is a fictional television cartoon show within the television cartoon show The Simpsons. It depicts a cat and mouse continually attacking and mutilating each other with all sorts of deadly weapons.

It is parody of the cartoon Tom and Jerry, and a satire on violence in television programmes aimed at children. Bart and Lisa find the show's extreme violence hilarious, but in one episode their younger sister Maggie imitates the cartoon characters and hits her father Homer on the head.

The very first Itchy and Scratchy cartoon is shown in one episode, and closely resembles Mickey Mouse's original Steamboat Willie.

Itchy and Scratchy is a TV show within a TV show ("Krusty the Clown") within a TV show ("The Simpsons") that itself started as a show within a TV show ("The Tracey Ullman Show").
