    Because kids love gross-out humor? Lmao

    Nearly every 4-10 y.o. I’ve known in my lifetime had “fart,” “poop,” “butt,” and “booger” as their top most said words of the day. The remainder was yammering about their favorite TV shows and books/toys. And bugs. And rocks.

    One my greatest dilemmas is how much I love Ren and Stimpy’s first seasons but I absolutely despise John Kricfalusi. I can’t even downplay his hand on the show, the humour comes straight out of his sick mind and I love it.

    Maybe we should arrest guys like him and, instead of putting them in jail and letting them rot there doing nothing, force them to make cartoons. There may be some untapped potential there.

      Yeah the guy was a real piece of shit, sadly the show felt worse when he left the staff and they continued the seasons. It was for the best though since he should have been in jail, rather someone be help acountable than a dumb tv show have better episodes.

    Ren: “You know Stimpy. Your wealth of ignorance astounds me.”

    Stimpy: "Well they don’t call me stupid for nothin’ "

    It was ok lol. My dad was the one to put me on Ren and Stimpy. It gave me a huge love and appreciation for cartoons and animation in general.

      The animators of Ren and Stimpy felt like they put a lot of love in that show. Their enjoyment of their job shines through.

      Ren and Stimpy is my favorite Nickelodeon show.

    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.

    Yeah, as a little kid I hated seeing this on TV, it felt really creepy and disgusting. I still don’t like it :-(

    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.
