Ren & Stimpy 'Adult Party Cartoon'

First off, I want to say that I bought the DVD because it looked GOOD. But the second after opening the case, popping in the sucker, and pressing play, I was in shock! purely because John K creator off one of the funniest shows ever on nick, destroyed his own work.

What really shocked me was that he actually wanted to make an adult version of ren and stimpy! No longer was the show subtle, no loner was the show slightly INNOCENT! Without those two things, all the humor is gone.

You may say, how could John K pull a george lucas! well he did, he really DID! Who knows, maybe he agreed to this because nobody in town is giving him a job! The adult party cartoon only had SIX episodes. Because he was fired, just like on the original version.

Well, the cartoon isn't the only thing on the DVD. There's some bonus interviews. Most of them containing EDDIE FITZGERALD who has nothing to say but "this cartoon the best cartoon ever made." YA they actually put something on the DVD that almost pisses you off more than the actual cartoon.

I just want to go on the record saying, I love ren and stimpy. I loved it ever since I first saw space madness when I was a kid. But this is not the show I LOVED

Ren and Stimpy is back! I've been waiting for this for 10 years and I'm not disappointed! Ren is still a complete a**hole and Stimpy is still an eediot. Mr Horse has made an appearence and hopefully we'll see Muddy Mudskipper and Powdered Toast Man as well before long. The perfectly selected music and sound effects that added to the enjoyment before are still there.

After John K "left" the original series it rapidly downhill and was, thankfully, cancelled. Now the he's back at the helm and no longer pretending that it's a kids cartoon (which it was never meant to be) we can finally see the true humour come out.

The first episode was a little bit shaky, but I'm blaming that on the fact the creators where a little rusty after all this time! The rest of the series, so far has been spot on. It was so nice to see an old first season episode (Jail House Blues) sneaked in last night. Can we have Space Madness too, please, pretty please?

This cartoon has not improved with age like fine wines do. No, it has grown green disgusting fungus mold like the nacho cheese I left under my bed since the show left Nick. That could be a good thing. The cartoon that got booted off Nick for Ren going inside Stimpy's colon more than once has found an "Adult" audience on TNN. Now Ren can pound anything he likes into Stimpy's lower digestive track like baseballs and say catchy phrases like, "Who's the pitcher and who's catcher!?". Tonight's show we saw the Horse acting as Ren's PSYCHOtheripist and gave us some insight into the twisted brain of Ren. (Like we needed to see that!) TNN has purchased only six new episodes and I think that was to play it safe and see how the public reviewed them. I think the time slot of 10pm is early enough and I won't have a problem with twisted humor as long as this cartoon doesn't air in the morning/afternoon or rerun on a "kids network" as it had before. The only backlash I would expect is the other networks will compete for viewers with more adult shows like Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" which appears on a network geared toward children.

I found out about this cartoon about a week ago and I was amazed at how it got past me so easily. They don't air this cartoon where I come from but I should've at least known about it because I am a number one fan of John K and his Spumco crew. So I downloaded the first two episodes. Wow! I am so disappointed by the so-called fans who dislike this new series. The episodes are brilliantly funny in premise and hysterically funny animation wise! The first episode is just short of a masterpiece, a great send up on the cartoon that John was forced to abandon and it paves the way for the new team to fulfill their duties. This unfortunately ill recieved episode was followed up by "Ren seeks help" a grand epic that explores the twisted youth of Ren Hoek. This episode is a must see and it is filled with animation gags that most people won't even pick up. The new voice of stimpy grew on me and, while I really do like his voice, Billy West's departure was much needed. John K does a great job at doing the voice of Ren, it sounds very similar to his original work but with a great new twist that makes the character seem that much funnier. John K clearly loves to animate the torture of animals and the stupid behaviours of the creatures and I love to watch it, this is one of the things that was lost when Games took over the show way back when! But now the show is back and me and my buddy are both two happy fellows who could not stop laughing at these great episodes!

It's very rare that I will make a point to watch something on TV. When I heard that Ren and Stimpy was returning, I had to see it, no matter what. It was my favorite TV show for a very long time. The sense of humor was delightfully twisted and original.

Upon seeing the premier of the new version of the show I was mortified. I mean all of the "jokes" were not funny. OK they're eating snot and puke. That's funny? Anal sex between Ren and Stimpy? I don't see how anyone except immature children would find that funny. It's like John K was just trying to tick everyone off or something. And this is on the first channel for guys?

If this is what the show was supposed to be like the whole time it's a good thing that restrictions were put on it because the show would have bombed and nobody would have any clue who Ren Hoek or Stimpson J Cat were. I am really angry they would go and ruin this great series. I will not regard the adult party cartoon as Ren and Stimpy.

2 stars out of 10 is completely justified. The show is deplorable.
