Yeah, no kids or adults ever like this sort of thing. It definitely isn’t mainstream and wildly popular.
“They” made the right decision. Without Ren and Stimpy there would not have been a successful SpongeBob SquarePants. Also, a booger collection under an end table? Genius!
Try some good old German tales like “struwwelpeter”. Was fun growing up ^^
Wow. Ren and Stimpy in the wild. My namesake.
YOU BLOATED SACK OF PROTOPLASM!!!
Even more striking is when you look into the creation of Ren and Stimpy and how he kept his job and is still enjoying a free life.
It was on cable TV, not everyone had this at the time it aired
Also it was part of Snick. Saturday night Nick. It wasn’t a morning cartoon
It was part of the original Sunday lineup of Nicktoons! Along with Doug and Rugrats. Ahhh Real Monsters and Rocko’s Modern Life joined them a few years later. They syndicated and moved R&S around quite a bit, probably trying to make their money back on it or find a timeslot it fit into well. It moving to late nights and other channels with the much later Adult Animation Show did confuse the issue for many people, but I assure you it used to come on weekend mornings and was a trip to live through. You’d finish watching the wholesome adventures of a band of babies, and then in under 10 minutes a man made of toast is shoving cats between his buttcheeks.
It really is astounding that John Kricfalusi isn’t in jail and stayed working for so long.
Now that you mention it that does sound right. The only thing of his I’ve ever seen other than original Ren and stimpy is some contribution to a little collection of short stories.
It was about a baby duck that was really tall that shit itself constantly? It was really trying too hard
I mean it was awesome
By far I think the most extreme part that I probable wouldn’t wantnkids watching is either the ghost suicide episode or the one where Ren verbally tells Stimpy and his own cousin how he’s gonna basically kill them.
Otherwise, it was a weird and at times grossout show that I wouldn’t mind letting a kid watch, creator aside.
There are many episodes that I wouldn’t consider save for kids now but back in the days they ran the show some time from morning till noon in Germany. Which I gladly watched as a pre schooler (I’m not ok for some other reasons). But a few weeks ago I watched the Sammy Mantis episode which haunts me until today. I guess it was also banned from German TV because it felt fresh but what a ride watching everyone shivering with anticipation to become the next one being beheaded on stage. Stimpy in the end even wishing his mother could see him… Well… Congratulations, I thought I’ve seen them all.
There must be episodes I have forgotten because I don’t remember that Sammy Mantis episode. Huh, guess I gotta rewatch the series for other messed up things I forgot about.
I’ll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!
I told you i’d shoot, but you never believed me…whyyyy didn’t you believe me
Whillikers! It’s so big.
and this isn’t even the most disgusting scene. I grew up watching this and I am ok (no I am not help me)
We are ok because we don’t pee on electric fences.
Ah right, thanks Ren & Stimpy for saving my life!
={🎼 I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend…cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living in… and if you do not want to see me again I will understand…
Yeah, as a little kid I hated seeing this on TV, it felt really creepy and disgusting. I still don’t like it :-(
Because they didn’t think that and it wasn’t.
What’s the problem? That’s just me from morning to lunch… and until evening and bed.
People are way to fragile today I feel. When I was a kid, I watched this with my parents. It was perfectly fine then and it should be now.
A motivator for why people are confused was because of the adult version that came later.
