The Ren & Stimpy Show

Johnny K. drop kicked animation into the next phase when he created this masterpiece.

Non-stop non sequitors were all over the place. I couldn't stop laughing. And the situations seemed to be an ongoing contest of how unrealistic can we be. The deadpan deliveries added to the fun.

Kirsch lost the rights to this at one point and the new owners RUINED it. It became an abuse/gross-fest. So make sure you see the Spumco versions only.

The DVD has it all un-cut now. And it's still funnier than anything on today. Seth MacFarlane had to have been a fan.

This and the great "Liquid Television" deserve to be kept alive.

This is indeed my favorite show on Nickelodeon. It's about a hyperactive Chihuahua named Ren Hoek and his idiotic sidekick, Stimpson J. Cat, better known as Stimpy. The two have numerous misadventures, my favorite being the one where they visit there number one fan, Anthony. There are so many other good episodes but I can't remember all of them. It's a real shame though, that Nickelodeon took this off the air. I think they thought it was for more mature audiences.

I give it a 10/10

Ren and Stimpy is one of my favorite shows that has ever graced t.v. The misadventures of an aggressive no-nonsense Chihuahua named Ren, and his idiot sidekick Stimpy are hilarious, and makes me laugh till my sides hurt every time I watch it! This show was crude, and gross but I loved every moment of this show from cousin Sven, to rubber nipples, Crocko Stimpies, and Magic Nose Goblins!

This show was the coolest! Memories......

What makes "Ren and Stimpy" so brilliant?

Well the humor is great,the stories are surprising,the characters are grotesque and the dialogue is highly inventive.

Yet this cartoon isn't for small children since a lot of the humor is very difficult to understand and sometimes even political.Therefore I would recommend it to people aged from 12 or so.Then it is a true blast!

Besides Ren and Stimpy other brilliant characters are Muddy Mudskipper,The Powdered Toast Man,Haggis MacHaggis,Mr. "No Sir,I don't like it" Horse,Wilbur J. Cobb and of course the legendary Lummox.

My favorite cartoons are "The Lair of the Lummox","Black Hole","Ren's Toothache","Sven Hoek","Big Baby Scam","Stimpy's Fan Club","PreHistoric Stimpy","Dinner Party" and "Reverend Jack Cheese". Besides those cartoons there are several brilliant short commercials like "Log" and "Chicken in a drawer".

And last but not least there is the great use of classical music in the series.The makers often use music from my favorite composer Tchaikovski,especially the "Nutcracker".

A big thank you to John K. for his work! 10/10

Very sick, Very ahead of its time! The background is very camp, and reminds you of the old fifties cartoons. The same style of sets and I like when they use people but never show there faces. however this similarity stops there.

Most of the stories are clever and funny with a bit of sick humor and or gross context thrown in. The gags are mostly funny because there taken to their extreme. Like the old WB Coyote falling from the highest cliff over and over and over. Or they play out what we all would like to be doing in real life. They can even poke fun at themselves and do so often. I love them and recommend them to anyone with a good sense of humor, but they are not what I would show my kids.
