For his work on "Itchy & Scratchy", Grampa is nominated for an award for Outstanding Writing in a Cartoon Series. When Grampa sees "Itchy & Scratchy" for the first time in a clip show introducing the award, he is appalled at the violent humor, and turns his acceptance speech into an assault on both the cartoon and the audience amused by it. He storms off the stage amidst boos and thrown vegetables. Grampa gives the award to Bart and Lisa, and Bart swears never to watch an award show again, unless Billy Crystal is featured.
