Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Ren is an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] or [[Complete Monster]].
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: [http://www.dailymotion.pl/video/x79zxf_ren-stimpy-the-royal-canadian-kilte_shortfilms The Royal Anthem of the Canadian Kilted Yaksmen]
** No wonder, since this is the melody of "God Save The Queen".
Line 16:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In "The Big Shot!", Stimpy says, "I'm hunting for a wabbit." [[Billy West]] would later become the regular voice actor for [[Looney Tunes|Elmer Fudd]].
** Ditto for "Travelogue", where Stimpy belts out a few notes of [[Popeye|"I'm Popeye the Sailor Man"]].
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]] / [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: "The Littlest Giant", where Stimpy (playing [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|The Littlest Giant]]) runs away from home after a long time of torture by [[Jerkass|the mean, larger giants]]. Made harsher by the fact that nowadays, [[Butt Monkey|bullying]] [[The Chew Toy|victims]] have often done pretty much the same, [[Driven to Suicide|or worse]] (case in point, [[wikipedia:Suicide of Phoebe Prince|Phoebe Prince]]).
* [[Ho Yay]]: Even before ''Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon'', which ran so far with the homoerotic overtones that it circled the globe at least twice.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The Log song.
Line 27:
** Hey It's That Guy with a conjoined fetus twin on his belly in "Double Header".
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: An amount of episodes produced by Games.
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: This is hands down one of the most ripped off cartoons of all time, basically to TV cartoons what Snow White is to animated features and what [[Mario Kart (Video Game)|Mario Kart]] is to racing games. Nearly everything this show pioneered that was considered unique and groundbreaking when it first appeared has been copied, imitated, homaged, parodied, and ripped off for decades since its debut, and so many elements of it have made its way into modern cartoons that the actual show seems very mild by today's standards--[[Creator Backlash|much to John K's chagrin]], since he felt that those cartoons only copied the many, many mistakes he made on the show, instead of what he felt he did right.
** Actually, the show isn't considered tame at all to this day by most people. The DVD box sets have parental advisory labels on them, and users of the website Common Sense Media rate it as unsuitable for viewers below 15.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Dr. Brainchild from "Blazing Entrails" only appeared once.
* [[Too Good to Last]]: John K's original run of the show. ''[[Adult Party Cartoon]]'' is [[Broken Base|very debatable though.]]
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]]: Or better yet, [[You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With|What Do You Mean You Don't Agree With Me?]]
* [[The Woobie]]: Stimpy, at times. Especially true in "Son of Stimpy" and "The Littlest Giant".
** Ren counts at times too, though usually he's more of a [[Jerkass Woobie]].
