* To many people who are unfamiliar with ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'', especially those who live in regions where [[AmericansHateTingle it isn't really that popular]], their only exposure to it was the parodies in the episodes "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E5TheFatAndTheFurriest The Fat And The Furriest]]", "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E9PrankstaRap Pranksta Rap]]" and "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS21E16TheGreatestStoryEverDohed The Greatest Story Ever D'ohed]]". The same thing goes for most other parodies of ''[=VeggieTales=]'' in the media.

* Itchy and Scratchy are an extreme parody of typical animated cat-and-mouse cartoon series like WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry, [[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Pixie Dixie And Mr Jinks]], WesternAnimation/HermanAndKatnip... and the violence typically found in [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1940s and 1950s animated cartoons]]. Back in the day these cartoons were broadcast daily over the entire world and thus everybody immediately understood the reference. Today, ever since Cartoon Network bought most of the rights, you hardly see these classic cartoons anywhere except for Website/YouTube. Thus, the original joke will be totally lost on younger audiences. In the case of Herman and Katnip, the rights to the film series have changed owners many times, and the cartoons themselves were often unavailable to a wider audience for decades. Most viewers will assume Tom and Jerry are the sole inspirations as they continue to live on in modern spinoffs while the others have fallen to the wayside.
