It deserves a 20 out of 10 but for now I'll give it a 10 out of 10
I really think that Comedy Central or Cartoon Network should pay attention and show re-runs of this modern cartoon classic.
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.
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
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.

- Quotes
Ren: You! You and your fan mail, Mr. Fan Club. Everyone love you, don't they? Well, guess what the mailman brought for you today? *Nothing!* This letter's for me! You, they have forgotten! Now it is me they love. It is I who am most loved! It is I who shall rule! You see? This is the proof that you are finished!
[Opens letter]
Ren: Listen! Listen to what it says. "Dear Ren: - That's me, that's me! - You are my favorite TV star." Are you getting this?
[Rubs the letter on Stimpy's face]
Ren: It's me they love! I am *king*! "When I grow up, I want to be just like you." How about that?
[Elbows Stimpy in the stomach; Stimpy doubles over with pain]
Ren: A man with some ambition! "You are my favorite person in the whole world. Love - He says love - Your friend... Stimpy"?
- Crazy creditsThe credits for voice actors are listed as "The Players", rather than "Voices" or "Featuring the Voices Of."
- Alternate versionsWhen released on DVD, some of the episodes were edited versions due to Paramount using the master copy tapes from the Spike TV network.
