'''''Worker and Parasite (Рабочий И Паразит)''''' was a fictional cartoon in ] episode ]. When the popular cartoon '']'', featuring a very violent cat and mouse, leaves the '']'' for Krusty's new competitor, Gabbo, "]'s favorite ] and ] team, ''Worker and Parasite''," was a cheap replacement. According to the title screen, it was made in ] under the ] regime in the ]. |

The cartoon opened with some ]-looking credits. The cartoon itself was quite unintelligible, and featured a crudely drawn cat and mouse chattering incoherently and bouncing around first in a factory, where a Hammer and Sickle can be seen. They then move in front of a breadline of identical, miserable-looking ]s, and then within a nest of squiggly lines while random background music was playing. It concludes 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, "What the hell was ''that''?!" |

The title of the show 'Worker and Parasite' is a reference to ], which was a crime in the ]. There has been some speculation as to what '''"Endut! Hoch Hech!"''' means. Although the opening credits show some cyrillic-looking text, the end was written in ]. "Endut" obviously resembles the English "end" or "end it". "Hoch Hech" could also be visually interpreted as ] for laughter, considering under the Khruschev regime, this would be considered a humourous short (i.e. "The End! Ha ha!"). However, using Russian pronunciation, the words on screen would be transliterated into English as "Yendit! Nosn Nesn!". The words resemble some from the ], with "Endut" sounding similar to "Ende gut", meaning all's well that ends well; "Endut Hoch" also sounds vaguely like the German "Haende hoch," which means "Hands up!." The Season 4 DVD ] for the episode however claims that writer ] had no intended meaning for the phrase "Endut! Hoch Hech!". The opening card is reads ''СФИР ЕТ ЅЕРОНЖ'', only with a backwards ''P'', which does not exist in Cyrillic. It does not seem to mean anything, but it would be pronounced something like "Sfir Yet Seronzh." In Russian, ''Worker and Parasite'' would be something like ''Рабочий И Паразит'' |
