  • The Worker & Parasite Show (in Russian Рабочий И Паразит) was a cartoon. When 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; Krusty clearly had not watched the cartoon beforehand to make sure it was a suitable replacement. According to the title screen, it was made in 1959. The cartoon is 19 seconds long and opened with some Cyrillic-looking credits, which account for nothing in real Cyrillic. The cartoon itself was quite unintelligible, featuring a crudely drawn cat and mouse in constructivist-like style chattering incoherently and bouncing around to the tune of depressing background music. Worker and Parasite are first seen in a factory (where a wrench and sickle are visible as well); they then move in an aisle with a crazy looking baker having a line of identical, miserable-looking peasants line up for bread, and then within a nest of squiggly lines. The cartoon concludes with an out of tune tone and with the screen reading "ENDUT! HOCH HECH!" Afterwards, Krusty's on-air response (before a vacant studio) was shocked silence, a limp cigarette hanging from his mouth, then promptly saying, "What the hell was that?!" The cartoon's utter incoherence and otherwise abysmal quality prompted the entire audience to walk out in disgust, the last of many things that led to The Krusty the Clown Show's cancellation.
