This is a thread for those of us who appreciate the original Ren & Stimpy shows, not the newer ones with Nickelodeon at the creative controls.
This is for those of us who love the Kilted Yaksman, The Obsession With Rubber Nipples, The extreme close-ups of boils and hair, etc.
My personal favorite is in the episode when they’re becoming fire dogs. They knock on the door, and the fireman sticks his head out the door and yells:
“I’VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU PEOPLE!, Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were circus midgets.”
I love that. It’s perfect.
Can’t you just picture the life of a fire chief who is constantly bothered by circus midgets? Wonderful.
Billy West spoke at my school once. Signed my picture, You bloated sack of protoplasm! And let me tell you have not lived until you have seen Space Madness in Japanese!
“We are hunting the Burrowing Speckle Throated Five Toed Yak.”
The kilted yaksman was CLASSIC - I still remember the episode where they explained how he came on something eve, and shaved in peoples sinks…and then the little children would wake up and scrape the dried up shaving cream and dance around as if it were Christmas.
My favorite episode had to be when they were in space and Ren goes mad. He’s floating around in the bathtub talking to a bar of soap, except he keeps refering to it as his “candy bar.” He sweet talks it for like, 5 minutes and finally bites into it with great exaggeration. Stimpy comes over, frightened, and says “Ren…you–you’re talkin crazy talk!” Ren proceeds to back into a corner and threaten to brush his teeth. HILARIOUS!!
Oh yes…and the history eraser button episode. Stimpy is put in charge of guarding the highly-feared “history eraser button” This huge announcer antagonizes him til he breaks down. WILL he press the button!!! The pretty CANDY-LIKE button!!! WILL he resist!!! CAN he resist!!!
“NO I CAN’T!!!”
GREAT cartoon!!!
P.S. Sexywriter…The line where you had “something something something” should be “It’s log, log, log”
I made the mistake of turning on Ren & Stimpy when my daughter was around one day. Within a few minutes, my delightful, charming, beautiful then-three-year-old girl child was calling the cat a “sick little monkey.” Oy. Mama forgot that a) R&S isn’t a kids’ show, and b) the girl is part parrot.
So now I can’t watch that show anymore. I sure did love it BC*, though!
*** You Fat Bloated Idiot! ***
“Time for my appointment!”
“Stays crunchy- even in milk!”
“they make great finger protectors, for when you have to touch filthy, repulsive things!”
I miss the elusive Frilled Ren, and the giant Croc-o-Stimpy.
Space madness episode … it’s ICE CREAM BAR, not CANDY BAR! Oh my sweet ice cream bar … how I long to leeck your creeeamy center!
I have a dream … that someday every man, woman, and child shall know the joy of my nipples.
And, for your enjoyment …
Remember the royal anthem of the Kilted Yaksmen …
Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses
And we have to clean up after them,
And our saddle sores are the best,
We proudly wear women’s clothing and searing sand blows up our skirts
And the buzzards they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
And our bones will bleach in the sun (that’s it!)
And we will probably go to hell (phhllbbtt)
And that is our great reward
For being the-huh Roy-oyal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!
I have the Powdered Toast Man vs. Spiderman comic book, as well as the first 20 or so Ren and Stimpy comics (including two copies with the original Air Foulers™ in the poly-bags). Ren and Stimpy is amazing.
I just went to Amazon to see what they could do for me in the way of a Ren & Stimpy video or DVD set of the first 2 seasons and was horrified to see that there is only one Ren & Stimpy video for sale, the Christmas one. Those stupid leetle monkeys!
Let us bury the Nickelodeon execs up to their necks in Gritty Kitty and demand that they release these for us in exchange for their lives.
