#5: Bloody Billboards – “Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie” – Season 4, Episode 6 (1992)

Springfield’s gory “Itchy & Scratchy” ad felt like satire, at least that is what we thought. Until 2003, when Kill Bill’s billboard in New Zealand sprayed red liquid to sell tickets. What was once a cartoon satire of violence in advertising became, well, actual advertising. Nothing says “watch this movie” like a good car wash of fake blood.
