''Worker and Parasite'' was a fictional cartoon on the animated television show '' The Simpsons ''. In the episode " Krusty Gets Kancelled ," the popular cartoon '' Itchy And Scratchy '', featuring a very violent cat and mouse, leaves the '' Krusty The Clown Show '' for Krusty's new competitor, Gabbo. " Eastern Europe 's favorite Cat and Mouse team, ''Worker and Parasite''" was a cheap replacement. According to the title screen, it was made in 1959 under the Khrushchev regime in the USSR . The cartoon opened with some Cyrillic -looking credits. The cartoon itself was quite unintelligible, and featured a crudely drawn cat and mouse chattering incoherently and bouncing around in front of a breadline of identical, miserable-looking Peasant s, while random background-music was playing. The whole thing ended with the screen reading "ENDUT! HOCH HECH!" Krusty's on-air response afterwards was shocked silence, a limp cigarette and then: "What the hell was ''that''?!" Coincidentally, the idea bears some similarity to the rather Unusual Set Of Tom And Jerry Cartoons (on which Itchy And Scratchy is Based ) produced in Prague by animator Gene Deitch , not to mention the characters' resemblance to Ren And Stimpy . Judging by the sounds of the voices, the characters were probably portrayed by Simpsons voice actors Dan Castellaneta and Harry Shearer , both of whom also portrayed Itchy and Scratchy on the series.
