The Ren and Stimpy Show/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Happy Happy Joy Joy!


  • I AM CONTORNO! LORD OF CHAOS!
  • The Ren and Stimpy Show, surprisingly, has some gloriously funny moments amongst all the Nightmare Fuel, but "Space Madness" has two of the absolute best, with Ren's descent into madness ("It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am mad!") and the ultimate Schmuck Bait, the History Eraser Button.
    • DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP TAPPING LIKE THAT, YOU BLOATED SACK OF PROTOPLASM?!?!?!?!!!
    • I've had this ice cream bar since I was a CHILD! People ALWAYS TRYING TO TAKE IT FROM ME!!! WHY WON'T THEY LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOONEEEE????
    • 'DON'T MAKE ME USE THIS!!!! ONE STEP CLOSER, I"M WARNING YA!!
      • ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT! YOU! FORCED ME TO USE THIS (starts brushing teeth)
    • The narrator incessantly yelling at Stimpy, asking if he was going to push the button, eventually SMACKING STIMPY WITH HIS BUTT AS HE YELLED THE WORDS?!
    • The shot with Stimpy with a toaster on his head.
    • The nubby-looking spacesuit Ren was wearing on the shot of the planet.
    • Stimpy slapping Ren's ass with a towel, and Ren says in a totally wussy tone, "Hey, cut it out!" in a way that's so not like him.
  • The anthem of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.

Our country/reeks of trees/Our yaks are reeeeeally large!/And they smell like rotting beef carcasses...

    • After singing, everyone throws their hats, kilts, and intestines in the air.
    • YMMV on this one, but the yak getting annoyed by Stimpy's singing and screaming, "SHUT UP!!!! I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! ALL THE TIME, SINGING, SINGING! WHY WON'T HE STOP?!" before his real freakout.
  • "Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY..."
    • "I'll teach you to be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!"
    • "I told ya I'd shoot! Butcha didn't believe me! WHY DIDN'T YA BELIEVE ME?!"
  • Ren and Stimpy meeting Wilbur Cobb in "Stimpy's Cartoon Show".
    • "Shhh! The walls have teeth! Us I-talians have to stick together, ya know."
    • "World War I. So there I was, up to my elbows in Nazis. But don't get me wrong. I'll eat just about anything, so long as it is easy to swallow."
    • "By the way, you should get out more."
  • From "Insomniac Ren": "Sleep...maybe I'm too smart to sleep... Yes... that's it... Stimpy's asleep and he's an idiot!" Gotta love Ren's screwed up demented logic.
    • Ren's annoyance at Stimpy keeping him awake.
    • "You didn't jiggle the handle did ya? Get back in there and JIGGLE IT!"
    • Stimpy snoring.
    • Ren trying to plug up Stimpy's mouth with things to keep him quiet but it fails.
    • "For the last time! I! Want You! To Be! QUIET!!!!!!"
    • "WHAAAAAAAAT?!"
    • "Ren's taking a coma."
  • Stimpy's incoherent babbling in Blazing Entrails.

"I'M NOT OKAY! I'M NOT OKAY!"
"Duh, I wanna banana, Ivana..."

  • Firedogs!, where a fat, middle-aged housewife in a burning building tosses various heavy objects onto Ren, including a comically oversized baby ("Save my baby! Save my horse! Save my walrus!"), then shrieks "Save me!" as Stimpy sends Ren up the fire truck ladder at high speed.
  • Stimpy telling Ren he has to do "number three," from "My Shiny Friend."

Ren: Heh heh... why, I can't remember the last time I did number three. (beat) NUMBER THREE?!?!?!

  • Hair of the Cat. All of it, especially Stimpy trying to pronounce "phenomenon".
  • "So, you whizzed on the electric fence, didn't ya?"
    • The entirty of the fake "Don't Whiz On The Electric Fence" board game ad. The jingle alone is hilarious if only for how incredibly cheery it is!
    • "I'm gonna hit ya, and you're gonna fall, and I'm gonna look down, and I'm gonna laugh."
    • How are we forgetting every scene involving Sven himself?! Sven Hoek is a hilarious episode thanks to Ren's lovable idiot cousin, Sven- whose basically just a Swedish, chihuahua version of Stimpy. His voice is hilarious, he looks funny... Special mention goes to Sven counting during "Hide and Seek" with the numbers out of order, and randomly saying "Fjord!" in place of a number.
    • My dinosaur droppings! PAINTED LIKE EASTER EGGS!!!
    • YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU! BOTH OF YOOOOOU!!!! *violently poking Sven in the eye*
    • AHHHHHHH!!!!! YEW EEDIOTS!
    • But first...FIRST...I gotta take a whiz!
  • A scene from "Rubber Nipple Salesmen" involving Mr. Horse is simultaneously this and Nightmare Fuel. It's a truly horrifying scene, but it's also laugh-out-loud hilarious. Especially since Mr. Horse is acting so out of character.

Mr. Horse: All right, so I MADE a mistake! ONE MISTAKE! Can't a man start over?! Do I have to keep on PAYING?! HUH?! Maybe I should make another mistake! Maybe TWO more!
Ren: Please sir! I think one mistake is plenty! Just let me show you what's inside here!
Mr. Horse: *throws hands up* Don't do it, man! I'm not armed!
Ren: We really just want to sell you some rubber nipples! See?
Mr. Horse: Oh...it is a nipple. *laughs good-naturedly* Oh, what you must think of me.

    • There's also his appearance in "Out West": "So, it's the old 'steal the horse' routine. Well, let's do this. If we must."
    • The walrus. The man with rubber nipples on his knees. "My dream... is that someday, people everywhere will know the wonders of my nipples!" The whole. Damn. Episode!
    • "Neeeh.. Some day, I want to be just as good of a salesman as YOU, Ren!" Stimpy says happily, to a smashed Ren. Ren slaps him.
  • Ren's reactions to Stimpy sculpting the heads of Santa Claus and Fidel Castro on the Lincoln Memorial in "An Abe Divided" always makes me laugh.
    • "DO IT AGAIN!!"
  • Any time either of the main characters scream. Billy West and John Kricfalusi have the most epic screams of terror in cartoon history.
  • "Hey! I don't need three butts!"
  • Ren's reaction after reading a letter about one of Stimpy's fans who still wets his bed: "You... MAKE ME SICK! YOU PROBABLY WET THE BED ON PURPOSE!"
  • Despite Adulty Party Cartoon's bad fame within the American audience (because, believe it or not, in the European country this troper lives in it was very well received) it had a few genuinely funny moments.
    • Ren pulling out a hanger after Stimpy tells him he's pregnant.
      • From the same episode, Ren going on about his seed and "throbbing manhood" through the phone for at least 5 minutes, after which he ends the conversation with saying "Well, it was nice talking to you, mom".
    • The Mexican Elvis, Mexa Canelves in "Altruists".
    • While "Ren Seeks Help" was genuinely made of High Octane Nightmare Fuel there was that moment when Ren's mother just takes the gun that Ren's father tries to give Ren, smacks Ren's father on the head with it... and then gives Ren a chainsaw.
      • Though the beginning steps into Tear Jerker territory, Stimpy's dramatic sobs and facial expressions at the beginning are too hammy to take seriously.
    • Ren's Pecs. Believe it or not, APC isn't THAT much more risque than the kid's show. Ren's Pecs, aside from the blood during the surgery and bandages, wasn't even too bad. Minus the blood, it played out very much like a classic episode. Stimpy donating his ass fat to Ren so Ren could have massive pectoral muscles, and the end playing out like a mock tear-jerker, made it hysterically funny.
  • The Haunted House and Fake Dad episodes. From the first, we have the bloody head fairy, the yak tenderizing his food, the ghost killing himself and coming back as a fat black guy. The the second, we have Kowalski, a 9 year old "kid" on what is basically a Big Brother/Big Sister ripoff. Kowalski is serving a 36 year prison sentence for crimes on humanity... and oh hell, heres a picture of him
  • The majority of "Mad Dog Hoek".
    • FLYING BUTT PLIERS!
    • "HEY REN! Pretending to wrestle is the funnest thing ever!"
    • "WE WILL HAVE! OUR! REVEEEEEEEEENGE!"
    • Stimpy's "I Like Darren!" rant is an odd example of this and Nightmare Fuel. Especially towards the end, where he's screaming his lines out like a madman, his voice has an echo effect, and the music is all crazy.
    • Extra funny is how Ren who's normally rather Ax Crazy tries to calm down a raging Stimpy who's normally rather calm but gets shoved away.
  • Ren & Stimpy try to rob a bank with a missile.

Stimpy: Give us a full tank of gas, we're flying this bird to Cuba!

  • The cartoon in Stimpy's Cartoon Show, starring Explodey and Poopy. It really has to be seen to be believed.
  • Ren auditioning a Classically-Trained Extra as a potential replacement for Stimpy during the Sidekicks strike.

"Can you play Stimpy?"
"I played Stimpy FOR THE QUEEN!

    • There was also one replacement, a hillbilly, who really wanted to direct.
  • In "I Love Chicken" Stimpy falls in love with a chicken.
