  Bart is Punished hide show

  Bart, as well as practically all children in Springfield, have been wanting to see the Itchy and Scratchy Movie for a long time. But when it comes out, Bart is punished by Homer for stealing Grampa's teeth while he was babysitting. So Bart tries to sneak into the movie but he is not allowed in. Bart tries to get Homer to change his mind, but Homer sticks to the punishment. In the end Bart didn't see it. But in the future Homer and Bart finally get to see it together.
  
  A good episode, Bart is finally punished for doing something, and it made a good episode

  Review hide show

  In order to curb Bart's constant misbehavior Homer and Marge come up with the ultimate punishment; they ban him from going to see the newly released Itchy & Scratchy movie. when nelson and Milhouse beat up bart when he said "You guys must be pretty tired of seeing that dumb ol' movie" and then Milhouse said " No one who saw the movie would say that" was a pretty good joke. The ending was a little cheesy for me. The movie seemed very stupid and un-entertaining. I don't know if that was the joke or that's there idea of entertainment. I give the episode a 8.9

  8.6 Great

  This is an episode of the Simpsons that all parents and kids should see because it depics punishment in a cruel but hilarious manner... hide show

  Every kid in the world waits with bated breath for the Itchy & Scratchy movie, but Bart is the only one who's not allowed to see it. Marge and Homer ground Bart for his bad behavior, making him miss the most important movie of his life. In a vision of the future in which his son becomes a Supreme Court Justice, Homer imagines seeing a revival of the movie with Bart. This is an episode of the Simpsons that all parents and kids should see because it depics punishment in a cruel but hilarious manner... In the end a great episode, but nothing to rant and rave about and call it the best episode ever...

  1.3 Abysmal

  The writers must have been drunk when writing this episode. hide show

  This is the worst Simpsons Episode. Homer so isn't himself. Normally Homer is a bumbling man who is too lazy to do anything, but he's more of an a**hole in this episode than a good parent. That's not really a punishment but just ridiculous. And whats up with Bart barley even trying to fight back. Homers ridiculous punishment had some potential for being a good episode, but Bart just moped around hoping Homer would let him see it. If Barts sadness was turned into anger and he actually did something, then it would probably be a good episode. Have Bart try and disguise himself to get it in or have a huge argument with either Bart seeing the movie, Bart swearing revenge or having Homer change is ways right after the movie is taken out of theaters. Or, they could have had Homer turn into a Disipline Nazi driving the house into chaos. But no, they don't do anything interesting like that. They pull some of the most disgusting cr*p I've ever seen. And that ending just made me want to F**king vomit.
  As Comic Book Guy would say, Worst Episode Ever.

  sad punishment. the most painful. hide show

  I think that is about the harshest punishment anyone could give. Even I was naughty at bart's age and did not recieve a punishment like that. Sure bart's behavior was naughty throughout the episode and got worse and even caused his teachers to raise a better parent, but that punishment was the worse as how bart was desperate to see the movie somehow, got jelous of his friends seeing it dozens of times and the line going all the way to the theater to their house. taking that away is like taking halloween away (which my dad did not believe in as a punishment and even my late discipline obsesed pyschologist believe in. Bart only got to see it 40 years later as cheif justice.
  
  sure homer thought it would teach bart a lesson, but even marge said it was harsh. And and I don't blame bart for trying to sneak in the theater (2 months later), but the guy at the booth said we promised your father we wouldn't. Sad that bart is the only one that does not see the movie.

More Episode Cast and Crew

• Some of the Springfield citizens in queue for The Itchy & Scratchy Movie are Milhouse, Martin, Ned and Rod Flanders, Otto, Abe, Jasper, Lewis and Wendell. [edit]
• Sign spotted on an ice cream truck: "Native American Ice Cream (Formerly Big Chief Crazy Cone)." [edit]
• When Lisa comes home from seeing the movie, she tells Bart about how great the movie was with the celebrity voiceovers, which although they are not credited, can obviously be identified. Two that she mentions are Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman. These two celebrities have also made cameos on the Simpsons, but not been credited. Hoffman can be heard in season 2's "Lisa's Substitute" as Mr. Bergstrom, credited as Sam Etic, and Michael Jackson was the voice of Leon Kompowski in the first episode of season 3, "Stark Raving Dad," although he is credited as John Jay Smith. [edit]

• Itchy & Scratchy: "Steamboat Itchy"
  Here, Itchy (who resembles the Disney mascot in more ways than one) cheerfully pilots his steamboat down the river. Eventually, Scratchy walks in and joins in on the happy tune. After a brief cutaway to see the boat putt-putting down the river, we hear another putt-putt - this time, coming from Itchy's machine gun, used to shoot Scratchy's knees off. The hapless cat is left to crawl around in pain, his eyes closed and trailing blood. Itchy opens the furnace (which has a fire burning inside) and directs his feline adversary inside. The cat is locked in and shakes in pure anguish, the sadistic mouse enjoying what he sees. Eventually, Scratchy finally dies, and Itchy pulls out his burned corpse. He remarks happily, "Oh me, oh my!" before the iris-out. [edit]
• First Appearance: Bumblebee Man [edit]
• Originally, for the Itchy & Scratchy movie scene at the end, writer John Swartzwelder wrote the more violent, depraved scene imaginable, but the other writers would have no part in it. They briefly considered not showing it at all, then created the final product, which is basically an episode of the show. [edit]

• Edna Krabappel: Bart has been guilty of the following atrocities: synthesizing a laxative from peas and carrots, replacing my birth control with Tic Tacs... [edit]
• Kent Brockman: Let's take a look back at the year 1928. A year when you might have seen Al Capone dancing the Charleston on top of a flagpole. It was also the year of the very virst Scratchy cartoon entitled "That Happy Cat." The film did very poorly, but the following year, Scratchy was teamed up with a psychotic young mouse named Itchy and cartoon history was made. [edit]
• Lisa: You wouldn't believe the celebrities who did cameos! Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson. Of course, they didn't use their real names, but you could tell it was them. [edit]

• Lisa: You wouldn't believe the celebrities who did cameos! Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson. Of course, they didn't use their real names, but you could tell it was them.
  In "Lisa's Substitute," Dustin Hoffman voiced the substitute teacher, but was credited with a fake name. Also, in "Stark Raving Dad," Michael Jackson voiced the character of Leon, but was also credited with a fake name. [edit]
• Snake: Oh no, ßeta!
  This is a referenced to the format wars between Betamax and VHS, which VHS was largely winning by the mid-1980's. [edit]
• Dr. No
  Bart strokes a cat while disposing of 007. This is a take off the 1962 film, Dr. No. [edit]
