Define Ren And Stimpy Meaning

A great show from the golden-age of cartoons (late 80's early 90's.) Grossout humor and a true pioneer. The got cancelled and then respawned on TNN, the new episodes are gay, literally, in one episode Ren and Stimpy have sex.

Possibly one of the greatest cartoons of the early 90s. Ren and Stimpy was created by John Kricfalusi and was picked up by Nickelodeon in 1991. The show is about a crazy, deranged asthma hound chihuahua (Ren) and a bumbling, idiot cat (Stimpy). It was known for its gross out humor and dirty jokes. However after years of censoring the hell out of the cartoons, John K was fired from Nickelodeon in 1993. Bob Camp, one of the writers on the original episodes and John K's close personal friend took over and Billy West (who voices Stimpy) took over the voice of Ren (who was orignally voiced by John K). These episodes were slightly toned down but you'll still see some dirty jokes. In 1996, after a 5 year run, the show was cancelled. 7 years later a new, "adult" version of the show aired on TNN (now known as Spike TV) in which their are more references to Ren and Stimpy's homosexuality (which was a common asked question when the show started). Then THAT got cancelled in 2004.

Ren and Stimpy was a great show and shows like Family Guy, South Park (both shows that John K absolutely LOATHE) and Beavis and Butthead have them to thank.

Only one of the best cartoons ever made.

A great Nickelodeon cartoon that pushed the boundaries of "Bad Taste". Probably the greatest "gross-out humor" catoon ever produced.

An awesome cartoon from old school Nickelodeon. Paved the way for South Park and Spongebob. Revived by TNN/Spike as uncensored. The uncensored verion makes more blatant innuendos than the original, but has the same enjoyable adult humor.

A truly innovative cartoon that Nickolodean didn't appreciate and canceled. TNN tried to bring back new episodes but they truly sucked and it ruined the shows image.

the best show that has ever been on nickelodeon(except invader zim)but was cancelled because of its gross humor or something it later was brought back by tnn but it wasnt the same it sucked.

The best cartoon ever made on tv. but the new ones on TNN suck!!!

If you're referring to the old version of the show, then yes, Ren and Stimpy is great. If you're talking about the new version airing on TNN, however, then I'll have to disagree. The new episodes aren't funny at all. They're just stupid and disgusting.

Ugh.

One of the greatest cartoons ever made. A precursor to other crude toons (i.e. Beavis and Butthead, South Park, etc). New episodes airing on the New TNN are even better and uncensored (unlike the originals that aired on Nickelodeon)
