''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show (Animation)|The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' is a... [[Deranged Animation|strange cartoon]] to say the least. It's also known to be one of the most controversial cartoons of the 90's, with all of it's [[Nausea Fuel|disgusting]] and [[Nightmare Fuel|terrifying]] imagery. Sometimes, the show intended to use these terrifying imagery or plotlines in most episodes, and we end up getting these.

The deranged duo's antics were intended to amuse us. Sometimes they frighten us, purposefully or not.

* Ren's Brain, nonstop. Stimpy removes Ren's brain as part of a random science experiment... but Ren's brain leaves the house and goes off to work. Not too bad- gross, but pretty silly. The nightmare fuel comes in when Stimpy approaches Ren's brainless body, and replaces Ren's brain with a telephone. We see Ren acting like a retarded mental patient, completely limp, with a horribly vacant expression as Stimpy plays with him like a ragdoll, his head covered in stitches.

** Earlier in the episode, in a manner similar to the infamous "Keef's Eyes" scene of ''[[Invader Zim (Animation)|Invader Zim]]'', we are treated to a scene of Stimpy removing Ren's brain, entirely in silhouette. Who knew shadows could be so graphic?!

* The episode "Who's Stupid Now," from Ren's perspective, is an extremely disturbing, unsettling episode. Basically, Ren is feeling unloved, so he and Stimpy switch places. Stimpy becomes the skinny jerk, and Ren becomes the fat idiot. Ren has more obligatory nervous breakdowns and his self-esteem is crushed.

* The bizarre, freaky, [[Mind Screw]] ending of the Girl Scout Cookies episode... It was revealed that all of the girl scouts were old men in disguise as little girls- as was Stimpy. Stimpy urges Ren to take off his disguise, only to reveal Ren's skeleton and heart. Everybody laughs.

** The ending. Ren and Stimpy implode. After that, we see the Ren and Stimpy title card... but with Ren and Stimpy's faces SHOVED INSIDE OF THEMSELVES, with asterisk- like indentations where their faces should be, accompanied by a creepy buzzing sound...

* In the episode 'The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen', we first learn that the aforementioned group is sent to find a barren wasteland and always die as soon as they get out there. In the middle of the episode, one of their Yaks gets tired of Stimpy singing the Canadian Kilted Yaksmen song. We are treated to an almost one-minute-long sequence of him going completely bonkers in front of the camera, foaming at the mouth, developing neck veins, screaming and bugging out. (You can see it at about 4.30 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS-qT6o1jls here])

* In the episode To Salve or Not to Salve, Stimpy buys a giant vacuum from a door-to-door salesmen and demonstrates it to Ren. Ren gets sucked in, fur-first. We then see a skeletal Ren having his internal organs sucked out one by one, then trying to keep his brain from being sucked in. He later would scream, and his heart would fly out, a la ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog (Animation)|Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''.

** The nightmare fuel of the brain scene was softened a bit by Ren's utterly hammy scream of "Must... Save... THE BRAIN!!!" That was a healthy dose of [[Nightmare Retardant]] right there.

** The salve guy was pretty damn creepy just by himself. Although he was hilarious, the way he kept appearing out of nowhere was pretty disturbing. You do NOT want that creep in your house.
