The Real Story Behind The Ren & Stimpy Show

Known formally as The Ren & Stimpy Show, this show was anything but formal.  It was a crazy mess of random violence and obscene images, portrayed through the lives of two friends, Ren and Stimpy.  Ren was a Chihuahua and Stimpy was some sort of cat hybrid.  I wish I knew more about the show, but I never really watched it.  The only reason it's on this list is because it had a major effect on our youth.

Upon the creation of the cartoon, the creator and writers decided that this show would not be educational.  Yes, that's right, they made a conscious effort to eliminate education in this show, attributing educational lessons to the downfall of past cartoons.  The writers also decided to avoid contemporary jokes in the shows.  Basically, the producers threw a big "fuck you" to conventional entertainment.

I didn't watch much Ren & Stimpy, but I saw what happened to kids who did.  It seemed to be the first tinge of abstract to evolve from once basic television programming, and its impact on viewers was evident.  Kids who liked Ren & Stimpy slipped into the underground of entertainment as they grew older.  Ren & Stimpy was sort of like an underground recruitment television show to find kids to fill the strange niche in society.  These were the same kids who liked KaBlam! and are now diehard fans of Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.  Without even knowing it, Ren & Stimpy drafted a chunk of America's youth to the alternative side of entertainment.

To this day, we have no clue how Ren & Stimpy was ever allowed on the air. It was crass, subversive, and, above all, a terrible influence on young kids. However, it was also incredibly brilliant and paved the way for the vulgar humor we see in cartoons today like South Park and Family Guy. Despite the series’ massive success, it wasn’t immune to the censors.

In 1992, the episode “Man’s Best Friend” was banned by Nickelodeon before it ever aired due to the extreme violence in the episode. It also led the network to fire the show’s creator, John Kricfalusi, which was the beginning of the end for the series.

We’re not quite sure why the network singled this episode out above all of the others, but it might have something to do with Ren bludgeoning the character George Liquor with a canoe oar. The episode wasn’t officially aired until Ren & Stimpy was reborn as the ill-fated Ren & Stimpy Adult Cartoon Party on Spike TV in 2003. It has since been released on subsequent DVD releases.(That why kids these days are so violent and fight a lot on school doing what they see on TV)

Leave it to Nickelodeon to green-light a cartoon aimed at children about a mentally unstable Chihuahua named Ren and his absentminded feline roommate, Stimpy. Created by animator John Kricfalusi, “The Ren & Stimpy Show” featured some of the most disturbing imagery ever drawn. The show played out like an acid-induced nightmare from Kricfalusi’s college days and included everything from sexual innuendos and fully developed bikini-clad women, to some incredibly graphic scenes of violence that included a now infamous scene in the episode “Man’s Best Friend” in which Ren takes insane joy in brutally beating overweight character George Liquor unrecognizable with an oar. Nickelodeon found the episode so violent that they actually fired Kricfalusi and quickly banned the episode from ever being aired.

teaching kids about sex...

Even the adult tell us NOT for KIDS adult ONLY...

GROSS...

Ren & Stimpy’s relationship was clearly homosexual at times...

This series (listed in the US as cartoon for adults) has come under heavy criticism against because of their content of messages inciting the filth and disgust. In fact, one of his characters, Olórin, is nothing but an intestinal gas (fart) taking life.

This show was one of the violent and sexual for kids (Maybe you wander why you kids turn sexual or so violent well you let them watch show without nothing the meaning or what they streaming to your kids or like letting them watching porn on the computer without knowing what really happening get me right...)

there even a worse episode not from Nickelodeon but in another channel from the same show..

Ren and Stimpy (Stimpy suffer from insanity caused by the loss of his friend ren ...) Ren and Stimpy is a series that at one time was for children and adults and broadcast after his high and aroused sexually suggestive curious children like their grotesque images in the show and therefore ceased to be transmitted several years until MTV broadcast the show within this broadcast there was a chapter where stimpy suffered from insanity caused by the loss of his friend ren, this chapter shows that ren commits suicide after quarrel with that partner, stimpy having caused the death of the friend declined to explicitly drugs, and mad, in his madness abducts a couple of young people between 10 and 16 years aimed at rape and then kill them after strong mental problem in that chapter shown stimpy showing his manhood, and the violation of these youngsters being emaciated as his limbs were dismembered his body after having done this horrible act the police arrive at the scene watching these young women raped and brutally dismembered by the cat dearly, after the police were about to arrest stimpy given to the shot in the head killing him, the producers thought that was a masterpiece that episode, but MTV refused to transmit the program and cancel the production of more episodes of this famous series, as managers MTV was the most horrific episode ever created as displaying a rape and murder girls, even the adult audience was something grotesque and strong, after it died Ren and Stimpy forever ...

There isn't much that affected us more than the television shows we watched as children.  Maybe you're a zoologist because of The Wild Thornberrys, a skateboarder motivated by Rocket Power, or a coked out artist inspired by Ren & Stimpy. Whatever the case, Nickelodeon created one of the strongest television series of the 90's, and with it every show injected an subtle message to its viewers.  I hope you agree with me on this look back on our past, and how fucked up we are because of Nickelodeon.(This is to much for me tonight just night)
