* [[Absurdity Ascendant]]: Where to start...
** [[Acid Trip Dimension]]: The setting of "Black Hole
** [[BLAM Episode]]: Most of them.
** [[Deranged Animation]]: If [[Bob Clampett]] was the original king of [[Deranged Animation]], his
** [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: "Climb Inside My World" from "Jerry the Bellybutton Elf".
** [[Surreal Humor]]
* [[Adam Westing]]: [[Space Ghost|Gary Owens]] as Powdered Toast Man.
* [[Addiction Displacement]]: In "My Shiny Friend", Stimpy overcomes his TV addiction. However, he merely replaces that with an addiction to gambling.
Line 114:
* [[And I Must Scream]]: The happy helmet will make you happy ''twenty-four hours a day, '''against your will'''''. With you being ''perfectly aware'' the whole time that you shouldn't be so damn happy.
* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Double subverted; Stimpy announces that a home the two plan to steal food from is not guarded... by a dog. When Ren hears this and attempts the theft, Stimpy then makes an announcement:
{{quote|There's no dog... *
* [[Animation Bump]]: The episodes done by Carbunkle Cartoons.
** And no, [[Puyo Puyo|it's not Carbuncle]].
* [[Aren't You Forgetting Someone?]]: At the end of "Ren's Pecs", Ren forgets to give Stimpy credit for his
{{quote|'''Ren''': To the guy who made it all possible: [[Brick Joke|Charles Globe]]!}}
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: In "Cheese Rush Days", after Ren double crosses Stimpy:
{{quote|'''Stimpy''': He took all our loot. He trapped us here to die! But, worst of all... HE TOOK MY COOL MINER'S HAAAAAAATTT!
** Another example is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6KjNmN2BA the ending of "Svën Höek"] where, after gruesomely describing how he's going to tear Stimpy and Sven's lips out, then gouge out their eyes, then rip out their arms, Ren simply states he's going to hit them and then they're going to fall. Possibly averted because, by that line, the tension is so high, and Ren so calmly angry, that it comes across as the most disturbingly sadistic act. Must be how Ren says he's going to look down on them and laugh.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The first season was done by a handful of studios, some of which didn't quite "get" Ren and Stimpy's art style. Things improved dramatically in season 2 when then-newcomer [[Rough Draft Studios]] was hired to do animation. Additionally, Carbunkle Cartoons (who did the best work in season 1) was given more to do, showcasing some of the finest visual acting seen on TV in years. When Spumco was fired, Games Animation didn't use Carbunkle at all, instead relying heavily on Rough Draft (who admittedly, still did a fine job), as well as adding Mr. Big in Australia and Toon-Us-In in Korea ([[Wang Film Productions]] did a couple of episodes as well). The art style got noticeably flatter and more UPA-influenced around this time. With ''Adult Party Cartoon'', Spumco returned and the episodes became more detailed than ever.
