Nazi Supermen are our Superiors[]
Synopsis: This episode was only referenced in "Itchy & Scratchy Land". While we don't know for sure if it is an I&S cartoon, we do know that Roger Meyers Sr. produced it in 1938, and was the one exception to his being "beloved by the world."
I Can See Clearly Now My Brain Is Gone[]
Synopsis: Scratchy is typing on his computer. Itchy sneaks by the back of the computer. Without warning, Itchy opens up the CD drive, cutting off part of Scratchy's head, and then causing his brain to go into the computer by causing the CD Drive to close. Itchy then points to the screen, causing Scratchy to realize with horror that his Brain is now integrated into the computer. Itchy then controls Scratchy's actions by pressing the mouse buttons causing him to poke himself in the eyes in the left-right-left-left-right-left order, then begins to position his finger over the "delete" key. Scratchy tries to tell him not to, but Itchy manages to press it, causing the screen to flash "deleted." Scratchy then screams at the loss of his brain as his head explodes.

Itchy produces two small bombs (with fuses lit) and puts them in front of Scratchy for him to find. Scratchy touches the bombs, thinks that they are his eyes, and puts them in his eye sockets.

Synopsis: Itchy is aiming a bow and arrow at Scratchy, who has an apple on his head. Itchy shoots the arrow and it hits the apple. As Scratchy feels relieved, the arrow is revealed to have pierced a tank of carbonic acid which falls on Scratchy, who is burned to the bones.
Simpsons Episode: The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show
Synopsis: The episode's production code is 2F09 and it is referenced by Doug during a question to June Bellamy at a Q&A panel. Not much is known about the episode itself, but it is referenced that Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone. Interestingly, 2F09 is the production code for Homer the Great.
Simpsons Episode: You Kent Always Say What You Want
Synopsis: Scratchy is walking down the street and notices a lady cat made out of dynamite. He kisses her, and the lady cat explodes, blowing Scratchy into pieces. Itchy walks out of a shop and starts juggling Scratchy's body parts in front of an audience of animals.
Note: Because of large cutbacks at the network, the normal voice actors quit, and Krusty dubs his voice over the cartoon, sounding very uninterested (mainly due to annoyance at the fact that he has to be affected by the $10,000,000 fine from the FCC due to Kent Brockman's swearing on the air, which was the reason behind the aforementioned large cutbacks). He reckons that Itchy killed Scratchy because Scratchy was messing with [Itchy's] wife. The audience upon watching it were left gaping in shock and horror, with barely any applause.
Simpsons Episode: The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show
Synopsis: Scratchy is part of an ice sculpture. Itchy starts sawing him with a chainsaw, when Poochie (with Homer's voice) shows up to say something important. His mouth doesn't move while a voiceover of Roger Meyers, Jr. saying "My planet needs me" plays. The animation cel of Poochie is lifted off of the scene, followed by a handwritten note that reads, "Poochie died on his way home".
Simpsons Episode: "The Day the Violence Died"
Synopsis: The first new cartoon after Roger Myers Jr.'s studio is back in business. Itchy chases Scratchy in a desert-like landscape until Itchy notices a church and stops to pray. Scratchy meanwhile keeps running until he is squashes by God's foot and ends up in Hell, burning in the Lake of Fire. Meanwhile, Itchy and God (who has the face of a mouse) are watching him from a cloud, shake hands and then wink at the camera.
Simpsons Episode: "A Star is Torn"
Synopsis: Itchy and Scratchy are in a sword fight when Lisa shows up riding Wind Dancer and slices off their heads which Wind Dancer places on her head. Lisa then talks about animal cruelty and to save the violence for cartoons. She then drops Itchy and Scratchy's severed heads into a cauldron full of acid.
Note: This is a dream in which Lisa imagines herself in Itchy & Scratchy after winning the Krusty's Lil' Star Competition.
Simpsons Episode: "Replaceable You"
Synopsis: Itchy is making a Frankenstein-style Scratchy. He stuffs a brain inside, zaps it, shrieks "It's alive!", and shoots its brain out with a gun. He repeats the process again, but the head comes off and lands near a girl mouse picking flowers. Scratchy's head shyly says "Friend?" The girl then stabs Scratchy's eyes with two flowers, which have the words "THE END" on them. Blood comes pouring out while Scratchy's head is screaming.
