The Ren and Stimpy Show is an American/Canadian animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi.
Ren and Stimpy are the eponymous characters of two American animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi. A neurotic chihuahua and an obese cat wander around in nonsensical adventures reminiscent of the golden age of American animation. The Ren & Stimpy Show had a reputation for subversiveness. Its level of gross-out humor, often involving nasal mucus and flatulence, was surpassed only by shows such as Beavis and Butt-head or The Brothers Grunt. While primarily controversial for its grotesque imagery, the series also frequently lampooned elements of western culture, such as materialism and superstition. The show was canceled around 1998.
