Storyline

An intense, hyperactive chihuahua (Is there any other kind?) and a happy-go-lucky, empty-brained cat share bizarre and often repulsive adventures. Their experiences usually involve hairballs, filthy litterboxes, "magic nose goblins", sentient farts, jars of spit, outhouses, eating dirt, monkey vermin and any other imaginable disgusting substance.

Trivia

Series creator John Kricfalusi was adamant about Stimpy not having a thick dopey sounding voice commonly seen in dim-witted cartoon sidekicks, having already chosen Billy West to provide Stimpy's voice, Mr West tested a variety of voices until John Kricfalusi finally settled on a Larry Fine type voice.

Goofs

Stimpy's Sammy Mantis disguise kit includes a "screw-on thorax" but it's clearly an abdomen.

Quotes

Ren: At last I have control of your T.V. set. Is you're mother there? No? Good! Welcome to our secret headquarters.
Stimpy: Deep inside the lower intestine of a sperm whale!
Sperm Whale: [At vet's office, clutching stomah] OH GOD! GOD! I CAN'T STAND IT! MAKE THE PAIN STOP!

User Reviews

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.
