Description
Both hooksnfangs and TricksyPixel requested Ren and Stimpy, and how could I possibly say no to either of them?
I was a huge Ren & Stimpy fan back in ancient times. I still remember the night the very first episode aired on Nickelodeon, because I'm an old man and recall my cartoons with love and fondness.
I only wish the show came to a better end. In the early 2000s the creators resurrected the show as a more "adult" cartoon. It was absolutely terrible. Sexist, racist, unfunny, and with some of the worst voice acting I've ever seen on a so-called professional production. It sounded like everyone recorded their lines in a truck stop bathroom. Billy West, the original voice actor for both Ren and Stimpy, wasn't even part of the show because he thought doing so would negatively affect his career. Sooooo... yeah. It didn't end well. Be all of us kids who watched the original show in the 90s can remember how amazing it was and pretend the new version never existed.

I love how they came out in your style!! I think Stimpy is ADORABLE, which is weird because I personally think neither are cute in actuality LOL. I like how you did Ren's eyebrows, and his gross lil hairs!

Original series was good, but I became less fond of it once I realized John K. enjoys shock value for no other purpose other than to use shock value.

Yeah, I rarely find that kind of humor satisfying.

Wait, I thought John Kricfalusi was Ren's original voice actor?

He was the original, yes. Then Nickelodeon got rid of him and Billy West took over.

To be honest, this is one part of my childhood I don't want to revisit. Since this show was one of my earlier childhood memories, I actually can't remember too much about why it disturbed me, nor anything that visually stood out that did scare me. Yet there was definitely something off about this show that made me rather uncomfortable in wanting to watch it again.

It was pretty disturbing. On many levels.

Yeah, I have a friend who told me his parents wouldn't let him watch that show as a kid.

He probably is by now. That's what retirement looks like.

And if I have to pick an episode that I enjoyed when it was on Netflix (along with most other non-movie Nickelodeon shows before Viacom's contract went poot), it was the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" episode. I forget what it was called.

That's a classic.
I've always been fond of "Space Madness."

My parents never let me watch the show as a kid. And of course, in hindsight, it was better than "Adult Party Cartoon". Which I've never seen, thank God. We can't have Stimpy without West, can we? Heck no!

My parents didn't pay enough attention to catch all the innuendo. To them it was just boogers and farts.

Back then, I was a little sensitive to my stomach, but of course now that I'm grown up I can handle most things.

Yeah, it was called "Adult Party Cartoon," and it was terrible.

I was gonna say some stupid [BROWN INK] about John K, but I opted to just say "good job".

Muaahaahahaa! You can't say no to my awesome suggestion! The look great in your style!
Ren & Stimpy was one hell of a cartoon. Watching it again only made me ask what kind of kid I was watching this back then!
John K is a master at making cartoons WEIRD, GROSS, and FUNNY! However "Adults Party" was totally unnecessary. The show as ADULT as it needed to be alreadyΒ

I remember all the crazy merchandising that went with it. Like a farting Stimpy doll!

As a person born in the early 2000's (01 to be exact) I can safely day I had the honor to grow up with the original nicktoons and cartoon network shows.

The cartoons from the 90s were pretty amazing.
