Roger Meyers, Sr.
-->Roger Meyers, Sr. (or Roger Myers, Sr.) is a fictional character in The Simpsons, renowned for 'creating' the popular cartoon characters Itchy and Scratchy, although he actually stole them from their real creator, Chester J. Lampwick.
Roger Meyers, Sr., was an anti-Semite, and produced a cartoon propaganda film called Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors in 1938. This is naturally glossed over by Itchy and Scratchy Studios, currently run by his son Roger Meyers, Jr. This is a possible reference to Walt Disney, who was also rumored to be anti-Semitic as well as a Nazi sympathizer.
The name Roger Meyers may have been a combination of famed movie shlock producer Roger Corman and famed movie soft porn producer Russ Meyer.
Roger Meyers, Jr.
-->Roger Meyers, Jr. is a fictional character on the television series The Simpsons, voiced by Alex Rocco.
He is the CEO of Itchy and Scratchy International, and is the son of Roger Meyers, Sr. He distributes the cartoon, which is frequently criticized by parents because of its violent nature.
In The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show, he creates Poochie in an attempt to bring the show's ratings back up. Homer is asked to voice Poochie, and does so. The show's ratings plummet, and Poochie is despised. He is nearly killed off in the next episode (after only one appearance), but ends up being dubbed over to have returned to his own planet.
