Safety First
Title Pun: Safety Last
Simpsons Episode: The Simpsons Ride
Synopsis: Itchy and Scratchy show guests what can happen to them if they do not follow ride rules as a female voiceover goes over several safety tips before boarding the ride, as 'legally required' introduced by Sideshow Bob. Scratchy is ready to run into the ride room when Itchy nails his tail to the floor, causing his skin to be ripped off. The voiceover wants riders to walk (not run) when the doors open. Itchy and Scratchy place their loose articles against the ride room walls (all fragile items must be leaned against the wall and loose items must be carried safely), and Scratchy bangs his head while trying to enter the vehicle (he should have taken his seat and watched his head while entering), followed by Itchy banging him with a mallet. Scratchy then pulls down his lap bar, and stresses too much that he rips off the lap bar - and loses his head which made the dogs (as Krusty's Krew Member) angry, while Itchy gently pulls down his lap bar (that's part of the safety once the riders are seated). Scratchy puts his arm around his girlfriend and his hand gets close to Itchy. Annoyed, Itchy then pulls Scratchy's arm outside and around the ride vehicle and closes the doors causing Scratchy's arm to be sliced off (riders must remain seated and keep their arms and legs inside at all times). Scratchy then begins to use photography on the ride, causing multiple giant missiles to be shot at him since there would be no still or motion photography of any kind allowed, destroying his camera and burning off his skin. Itchy then safely puts his camera in his pocket. The episode ends with the voiceover saying, "Thanks for your attention. Enjoy the ride!" and a list of the safety reminders that the riders should remember.

Famous quotes containing the word safety:
“A lover is never a completely self-reliant person viewing the world through his own eyes, but a hostage to a certain delusion. He becomes a perjurer, all his thoughts and emotions being directed with reference, not to an accurate and just appraisal of the real world but rather to the safety and exaltation of his loved one, and the madness with which he pursues her, transmogrifying his attention, blinds him like a victim.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.”
—Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
