The Ren & Stimpy Show
Created by John Kricfalusi, Bob Camp
On Nickelodeon
A frenetic, deliberately grotesque cartoon built on the anarchic energy of two mismatched friends and the absurdist humor of their bizarre, gross-out adventures.
Ren and Stimpy are a mismatch made in animation heaven with nothing in common but a life-long friendship and an incredible knack for getting into trouble. Join them in their bizarre and gross world for some outlandish situations coupled with hilarious jokes.
