The Ren & Stimpy Show

The Ren & Stimpy Show

The Ren & Stimpy Show, also known as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon. The series follows the adventures of title characters Ren, an emotionally unstable chihuahua and Stimpy, a good-natured yet dimwitted cat. The show premiered on August 11, 1991, as one of the original three Nicktoons alongside Rugrats and Doug. Throughout its run, the show was controversial for its off-color humor, sexual innuendo, dark humor, adult jokes, and violence. This controversy contributed to the production staff's altercations with Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices department. The show ended on December 16, 1995, with a total of five seasons and 52 episodes. Ren & Stimpy received positive reviews during its original run. It would go on to receive widespread critical acclaim after its run, and has since developed a cult following and had a long-lasting influence on television animation. A spin-off for adult audiences, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", aired in 2003 on Spike but was taken off the air along with the rest of Spike's animation block after only three episodes.

Wilbur J. Cobb:
[on the phone, with his chair turned away from Ren and Stimpy] Listen, I own this town! Melted from scratch out of bale wire, and blastin' caps!

Stimpson J. Cat:
Ah-h-h-hem!

Wilbur J. Cobb:
Later, babe. I got a 12 PM, I can't do lunch. [Cobb turns around to reveal he's speaking not into a phone, but into a seashell] Thursday? Yeah, yes, I'll get right under it. [Cobb sets down the seashell, and a crab craws into his ear] Well well, girlies, what can ya do for me?

Stimpson J. Cat:
Uh, uh, here is the cartoon movie I have brought to show you. I hope you...

Wilbur J. Cobb:
Ssssh! The walls have teeth. Us Italians have to stick together, ya know. Now, what is it ya have for me? [Cobb takes off his glasses, which takes his eyes with them]

Stimpson J. Cat:
My, my film?

Wilbur J. Cobb:
The film! The film, of course, the film! Have I ever told you how we made that film? We spent hundreds of millions of hours and dollars on that film, and, and it was a lot of cra, a bunch of cra, a, a whole bunch of cra, a lot of...

Stimpson J. Cat:
Uh, "crap"?

Wilbur J. Cobb:
No! Walter Lantz! No account son of a busdriver. Hahaha. Now get this... [as Cobb stands up, his arms fall off] If you want to be a genius, it's easy: All you gotta say is, "Everything stinks." Then, you're never wrong. That's how much of a genius I am! That's how I got to where I am today! [Cobb briefly flashes a G-string] Then, we got smart. We are not, will not, be the janitor of these starry-eyed amateurs. [hacks so hard, his dentures fly out of his mouth and into Ren's mouth] World War I: There I was, up to my elbows in Nazis. Now, don't get me wrong: I'll eat just about anything, just so long as it's easy to swallow. [Ren struggles and swallows the dentures] Now, to make a moving picture, ya gotta have two things: Pushers and shovers. Oh, we made mistakes, but I don't regret it, no sir. [Cobb's right ear slides off his face and onto Stimpy] Fortunately, everybody can't be a chief. The chief is not only the right-hand man, but also the left-hand man. He is the short man, he is the tall man! From one man to another, he is no man whatsoever! Ya got that, shorty? [Ren winces at Cobb's bad breath. Cobb notices Stimpy is holding his ear; Stimpy wears it as an impromptu hat and laughs nervously] Now get this: They either got it, or they don't got it. But gosh darn it, I can hold my water! Until the masses cry, "Cheat the plate!" And I say unto them, "Let the doves free!" ["Hallelujah Chorus" plays] Any questions?
