The Ren & Stimpy Show

The Ren & Stimpy Show” is not a cartoon it’s a psychological endurance test

disguised as animation, and I mean that as the highest possible praise

Every episode feels like it was animated by caffeine, rage, and a deep hatred

of the concept of “normal television.” Ren screams like a man possessed by

demons, Stimpy is a walking biohazard of innocence, and somehow the show

manages to be both grotesque and weirdly sincere at the same time

The close-ups are crimes against art. The sound effects should be illegal.

The jokes land like a brick to the face, then apologize by licking you.

Modern animation is too clean, too polite, too afraid

Ren & Stimpy looks you in the eyes, wipes its nose on your sleeve

and asks if you want to see something really gross.

Yes. Always yes.

Would not recommend to children.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to feel alive again.
