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.
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.
I didn’t know about Kricfalusi. Damn.

Idk I always thought these hyper detailed stills were pretty funny
“Gross-ups”!
It was on SNICK on Saturday night
Eventually it was on in the mornings too, but yeah it started as a SNICK thing
“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!
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.
What’s the problem? That’s just me from morning to lunch… and until evening and bed.
Something came out of your butt? And it made and sound? And it smelt funny?
I mean it was awesome
Yeah, no kids or adults ever like this sort of thing. It definitely isn’t mainstream and wildly popular.
You should see the shit they watch now.
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!
Wow. Ren and Stimpy in the wild. My namesake.
YOU BLOATED SACK OF PROTOPLASM!!!
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.
That was never on Saturday morning cartoons. The Denise if the Saturday morning occurred by the beginning of the 90s. Ren and Stimpy was after and on Nickelodeon. Saturday morning cartoons was on the big 3.
