  • Sticks of dynamite jammed into Itchy's eyes and ears (Scratchy then lights the fuses)
  • A hat and beard molded from plastic explosive and stuck onto Itchy
  • Two hand grenades hung from Itchy's ears like earrings
  • Two nuclear bombs aimed directly at Itchy's eyes
  • Crates of TNT and nitroglycerine, bundles of dynamite sticks, and other assorted explosives stacked around and under the two bombs

Scratchy lights the fuse on a bundle of dynamite sticks, hails a cab, gets in, and drives away. Itchy frantically struggles to escape while the fuses on the dynamite burn shorter and shorter.

Bart, watching the cartoon, says, "My purpose in life is to witness this moment." Just as everything is about to blow up, the Simpsons' TV shuts off.
