    Another Nickelodeon Cartoon Classic!

    The Ren and Stimpy Show is a funny and can sometimes be a little gross but I still like it kind of cartoon! The Ren and Stimpy Show is about an intense hyperactive chihuahua and a empty-brained cat who share all those weird bizarre and often repulsive adventures. This show is one of my favorite Nickelodeon shows that was also pretty popular and it was also one of the first three Nickelodeon cartoons that started the whole Nicktoons era. The Ren and Stimpy Show was one of the first three nicktoon shows along with Doug and Rugrats. I remember that this show used to be apart of Nickelodeon's SNICK Saturdays until those stupid Rugrats took it's place but luckily I was glad when SpongeBob Squarepants kicked Rugrats out of the SNICK line-up and replace their time slot! Then I remember when this show came back for a little while in early 2000 and showed reruns again until Nickelodeon canceled it again! Another thing I remember about this show was when they started making TV audience ratings, most of the Nickelodeon cartoons were rated TV-Y and this one was the only Nickelodeon cartoon to be rated TV-Y7.

    BOTTOM LINE: ANOTHER NICKELODEON CARTOON CLASSIC OF THE 1990's!
    dootuss

    Happy, Happy Joy Joy!

    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......

    A cartoon classic that's not for small children

    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

    A Hilarious Show

    Ren and Stimpy is one funny cartoon show. It is so funny to look back on re-runs and be so surprised that some of the stuff was on Nickelodeon, but it was so cool they could easily get away with all this stuff. But dont get me wrong, this is a very good show, but some of it is more directed at adults, which is good.

    I really think that Comedy Central or Cartoon Network should pay attention and show re-runs of this modern cartoon classic.

    Oh my belov-ed ice cream bar! How I love to lick your creamy center!

    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.

      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"?
