0:55 It's a subtle nice touch that the border around each of the credits in the Chester J. Lampwick cartoon is a little bit different, and they're all slightly uneven, as if each one was drawn individually by hand - it makes it feel more like an authentic cartoon from 1919.
"Roger Meyers Sr., the gentle genius behind Itchy and Scratchy, loved and cared about almost all the peoples of the world." This is lowkey a hilarious dig at Walt Disney. 🤣🤣
@@WillScarlet16 He had Leni Riefenstahl as his personal guest touring Disney after the release of her film "Triumph of the Will" and privately donated to the German American Bund. The evidence is rather plain that Disney was at the very least sympathetic to white nationalism.
It was more based on Herman and Katnip rather than Tom and Jerry. There the cat almost never did anything wrong and yet he suffered much more in the hands of his nemesis than Tom in the hands of Jerry (after all, Tom did get some wins too aside from occasions both lost or made amends).
Actually, apparently it was based on a Tom and Jerry knockoff called Herman and Katnip, which was immensely mean-spirited even compared to what it was ripping off...
@@upland77 Herman and Katnip has been named as an inspiration. It was a much more mean-spirited and violent cartoon series than Tom & Jerry ever was, with lots of borderline sociopathic gags in the style of Itchy & Scratchy (like turning Katnip into a Christmas tree and then sticking his tail to a socket).
tman008 no, you idiot, Teddy Roosvelt died of polio in 1945 Edit: whoops! I confused FDR with Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy died on 6, January 1919 in his sleep.
Matt Groening has always wanted to do a Simpstatia-like episode for the longest time since the 90s but never happened because of the amount of animation it would take to do something like that.

Funny, cartoon networks and adult swim ARE censored in my country, instead they are replaced with a cringe live action shows type of channel that my country made.
I love how the idea of a show that reals with down-to-earth real life problems but also involving whimsical magic robots is basically what the majority of modern cartoons are.
"You want a realistic, down to earth cartoon that deals with the situations you face everyday that is swarming with magic robots" Sounds like the Power Rangers.
You know I like the simpsons the only thing I don't like about them is the itchy and scratchy thing cause dear god is that annoying of how the mouse never dies.
Stealthyhunter - Back when the Simpsons was first aired, many "experts" believed that cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Coyote and Roadrunner, Tweety and Sylvester, etc. encouraged violent tendencies in children, that were then carried over into their behaviors and attitudes as adults. In those early seasons, the whole point of Itchy and Scratchy was to parody that social viewpoint - they even did an episode where Marge crusaded against the cartoon (the Marge the squirrel clip) and got the scripts changed (the episode Porch Pals). The clips were so popular that they became a regular part of the show.
Sans Sansational Well it's a parody of Rubber Hose animation which was popular with Disney in the 1930's all through to the 60's. It's what the old Tom and Jerry cartoons used, which itchy and scratchy itself is a parody of.
