    Animation is built on plagiarism. If it weren't for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners we wouldn't have the Flintstones. If someone hadn't ripped off Sergeant Bilko, there'd be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney.

    The postal service ripped-off Manic Mailman as well! :pac:

    There's a vast difference between a homage or a reference to something, and stealing or plagiarising something.

    yeah, retweeting is referencing something, quote retweeting and removing the original tweeter is plagiarizing!

    When you steal from one it's plagiarising when you steal from many it's research.

    Plagiarsim carries a lot of negative connotations and I don't think it's always right to use it in this context.

    More of a remix. :)

    Was streaming a few episodes of Tom & Gerry for a bit of crack, to reminisce so to speak of my younger self.

    I reckon Matt Groening stole Itchy & Scratchy from Tom & Gerry or got the idea from them. they were made in the 1940's which I was a bit shocked about ( according to wiki )
    It's Tom & Jerry, and yes, The Simpsons is full of references to other bits of film, TV and art. Let's take just one episode, Holidays of Future Passed, and there's a long list of references here. The title, for example, is not a mistake (passed / past), it's a reference to a 1967 Moody Blues album. Add in bits of Andy Rooney (US TV jornalist) and the Mad Max films. These nods to other sources are one reason why The Simpsons is popular with a wide spectrum of viewers.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Ned Flanders once called Itchy & Scratchy 'Impy and Chimpy'.

    Quentin Tarantino 'homages" movies, but not really, just rips them off.

    In terms of modern cartoons, both Johnny Test and Norman from Fireman Sam are responsible for the current generation of children being general rapscallions and smart-arses.

    The same way Bugs Bunny dresses up as a Southern Belle.

    Off topic (slightly) Bugs Bunny was gay.
    The dresses, the smoking jacket. I had this told to me a few years ago by some gay friends.
    He was always putting lipstick on a kissing poor old Elmer Fudd.
