(update links)
Line 34:
* "Man's Best Friend": Unaired due to a positively brutal scene of Ren beating George Liquor with an oar, but it can be found on the first DVD set.
* "In the Army" / "Powdered Toast Man"
* "Ren's Toothache"
* "Out West" / "Rubber Nipple Salesman"
* "Svën Höek"
Line 220:
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Kowalski.
* [[DVD Commentary]]: A few commentaries on the DVD sets feature John K. and Eric Bauza in character as Ren and Stimpy.
* [[Eek! aA Mouse!]]: "The Boy Who Cried Rat!".
* [[Emotion Bomb]]: The Happy Helmet.
* [[Episode Title Card]]: Most were just a still image set to some music, but "Svën Höek" was live action footage of a lederhosen-wearing, accordion-playing man. John K. abhors the latter, confirmed by his [[DVD Commentary]] of "Svën Höek".
Line 337:
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole;
Our bones will bleach in the sun.
And we will probably go to ''[[Sound Effect Bleep|*fart*]]'',
And that is our great reward
For being the royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.}}
* [[Malaproper]]: Stimpy often falls into this, such as in "I Love Chicken":
Line 413:
* [[Set Right What Once Was Wrong]]: The original proposed ending to "Space Madness", nixed by Nickelodeon editors, would have featured Ren and Stimpy going back in time and undoing the damage caused by Stimpy pushing the History-Eraser Button.
* [[Sexophone]]: Such a musical motif is heard in "Pixie King" when Stimpy poses in his pixie outfit.
* [[Short -Lived, Big Impact]]: At 5 seasons and a spin off (the last two of which and the spin off are barely talked about nowadays), this show did not last so long as the two other shows in the original Nicktoons line up, ''[[Rugrats]]'' and ''[[Doug]]'', which continued in some form or another for the better part of a decade. And yet, ''R&S'' is among one of the most influential cartoon shows of the last twenty years, spawning dozens of imitators and being the [[Trope MakersMaker]] for the [[Gross-Out Show]] genre.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The first episode has Stimpy making several to the catchphrases of several beloved Hanna-Barbera TV cartoons, as well as ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.
** In "Ren's Pecs", Ren goes to have pectoral enlargement surgery. In the background you can hear over the hospital's loudspeaker, "[[The Three Stooges|Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard...]]"
Line 451:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: Countless examples, but ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'', ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', ''[[Two Stupid Dogs]]'', ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' and ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' which employed ex-Ren and Stimpy staffers. Some still do.
* [[Standard Fifties Father]]: Mr. Pipe.
* [[Sting (music)|Sting]]: Numerous musical stings were used in the show. Perhaps the most famous one is "Shock Horror (a)" by Dick Walter: Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!
* [[Stock Footage]]: "Farm Hands" reuses some animation from "Out West"; specifically, the scene where Abner and Ewalt get an idea and laugh goofily.
** "Marooned" and "The Littlest Giant" also use truncated versions of the openings of "Space Madness" and "Robin Höek", respectively.
Line 503:
* [[Two Shorts]]: Though a few episodes also took up the full 22 minutes, such as "Son of Stimpy" and "Stimpy's Fan Club".
* [[Universal Adaptor Cast]]: This is especially true for the space-themed shorts: "Space Madness", "Marooned", "Black Hole", and "The Scotsman in Space".
* [[Unmoving PlaidPattern]]: The man who helps Ren and Stimpy move into Haggis's former mansion in "Hard Times for Haggis" has a shirt that features this.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: "''DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP '''TAPPING''' LIKE THAT, YOU '''BLOATED SACK OF PROTOPLASM?!?!'''''"
* [[Vague Age]]: Ren and Stimpy. In fact, one episode plays with this, by revealing that Ren is retirement age in dog years.
