3, good but overplayed

5!  Squeak I tell you, squeak!

4.  If you view it a certain way, you can actually witness some pretty dramatic acting in a few scenes... or maybe I'm just weird.  The animation suggests that it was supposed to be the pilot episode, or maybe I'm being weird again.

6. "Son Of Stimpy"
Stimpy searches for a certain smell. In this Holiday episode.

7. "In The Army"
When Ren & Stimpy are enlisted to the Army. And eventually taking some tests like going into a gas chamber, hiking through mud, etc in bootcamp.
4, especially when they're peeling various items and Stimpy's stupidly peeling one of his body parts... his nose!

Painted as dalmations, Ren & Stimpy saves saves people (including a horse & an elephant) from a burining building. And Stimpy puts the flames out with kitty litter.

2.8... the coloring was just really gross, so it didn't appeal to me at first.  Other than that, while it was funny, I just couldn't find it a big enough classic on a whole... but I LOVE the ending!

13. "Monkey See, Monkey Don't"
When they are dressed up as monkeys at a zoo as one of their attempts of getting free food.
4... "Next time I raise PIGS by yolly!"

Am I the only fan who loves the Nickelodeon-made episodes after the creator left?  I like the originals, but the later ones weren't as bad as people made it seem...

I like a few episodes from Nickelodeon, after John K. got fired, like "Ren's Pecs", "Ren's Bitter Half", "Eat My Cookies", "House of Next Tuesday",and "Stimpy's Cartoon Show".

I know it's a kids network, but their cartoons aren't as fresh, funny, and too politically correct compared to those from the Cartoon Network, which appeal to people in every age & doesn't tinker around the shows like Nickelodeon did to "Ren & Stimpy" and fellow Viacom network MTV does to music videos.  Bit off topic, but they leave "Jack@ss", "Real World", etc. alone.  :P

IMO, Nickelodeon made the show watered down & corny like their other Nicktoons (Except "Rocko's Modern Life").  Which led to the downfall of Nickelodeon. Along with less game shows, teen sitcoms, etc.

One example was making Wilbur Cobb a character.The classic "Scrappy Doo" technique. Spumpco wanted to use the character for one episode, "Stimpy's Cartoon Show".
Most likely  because he's a one joke/one laugh character.

IMO, the worst episodes are from the final two seasons.
Except for "Eat My Cookies"/"House of Next Tuesday" from season 4. And "Powered Toast Man vs. Waffle Woman" was OK, thankfully wasn't made into a spinoff or else it might've been bland & corny like "SpongeBob" & "Fairly Oddparents".

And Spike TV's "Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon", from their creator, is nothing but worthless drek.  :-/
Ironically, it was what John K. originally wanted the cartoon to be like in the '90's.
