Did anyone else hate this fucking show as a kid?

>>79592223
No. I'm not a homosexual.

>yfw you never got to play with LOG growing up

life is suffering.

Yes. My parents maybe wisely refused to purchase cable television throughout my childhood, so I would only catch bits of the show here and there on occasion when I was away from home. The animation was grotesque, the characterizations horrific, violent, and dehumanizing. It made me feel sick, loose appetite, loose sleep. I could not comprehend why such a horrible thing was allowed on public television, for young people no less. At an early age it played a key role in instilling a deep mistrust in me of modern culture and society.

I was a teen during the 90s and I loved that it was so weird and subversive

>>79592223
I watched several episodes as a kid, but probably after the one where Ren's teeth rot out of his head and his twitching nerve endings stick out of his gum holes, I couldn't even stand to see or hear it anymore.

if you didnt like this show you are just simply a pleb

The first two seasons are honestly great, and pretty up there regarding animation in the 90s.

>>79592223
Nah! it was the greatest show on earth of course SpongeBob rightfully took its place as GOAT in the history of television

The use of classical music in the background was annoying as fuck and made the show literally impossible to watch. Completely unfitting and lazy.

Animation was great, the show is less than mediocre. If you think this is the sacred cow of 90's television you belong on Reddit.

Ren & Stimpy, Invader Zim and Liquid Television were the only animation I could get in to back then. I never understood how the rest of you could watch shows without any edge to them.

Doug, Hey Arnold, Ed Edd and Eddy etc were all so fucking dull. It was like watching paint dry. And what's worse is that you're all nostalgic for that shit now. Normies gonna norm I guess.

this show was ok, but the episode that stands out in particular is when stimpy tried his hand at making an animated film. the segment with wilbur cobb is one of my favorite monologues of all time and is pure kino

My first episode was the lumberjack that cheese grated his elbow, then put salt and lemon juice on it.

I was three when this show first came out so I didn't watch it. When I was older and heard all my high school friends talk about how great the show was I gave a few eps a watch, but it was mostly gross and I didn't really care for it. I really don't understand how Nick even put this on their channel, to be honest. It aired during the day not long after Nick Jr. switched back to regular shows, so I bet a lot of youngsters were freaked out.

From a traditional animation standpoint, it is absolutely amazing. Definitely worth studying for any animation student.

Unfortunately, I hated the unlikable characters, gore, slow pace and long drawn out pauses. Had some memorable jokes though.

I respect Ren and Stimpy for its influence on shows like Spongebob and because it is tremendously well animated. It's legacy is something to be respected.

However, no matter how many times I tried to watch it (and I did make several honest efforts), I just don't find this to be funny in the slightest. Yeah it's gross, I get it, I've seen worse, but if you are not disgusted by it and if you don't find it funny there is absolutely nothing of interest besides the animation.

I saw it as a very young child and I couldn't understand what part of it was funny. I understood everything else around it appealed to me and cartoon network was a TV channel for children, so assumed there were kids out there somewhere who enjoyed this sort of thing, but never developed that myself.

>>79595180
Invader Zim is really bad. That show had some decent bits, but it was overshadowed by the RANDOME humor.

>>79595180

I was shaking my head in partial agreement until you dissed EEE. That show was pretty out there for its time, the kids were little shits and the artstyle was purposely ugly.

In terms of "edge" it was up there with Zim.

But there are so many lines and monologues in R&S that stick in your mind forever. This one about Ren planning to break Stimpys neck sure stands out.

All these are good examples too

As a kid I saw a couple on VHS and they weren't the funniest cartoons I ever saw but they were oddly compelling.

Years later when they aired on MTV, I tried to watch them, I didn't get into it because I was so into The Simpsons and similar shows at the time.

A few years later when I was in animation college, I started reading Johns blog and all the detail and technique that went into the animation and rewatched it with a new appreciation.

The show is pure patrician animation and if you don't like it, you are by definition a pleb

>>79604486
Dexters Lab and PPG were definitely innovative too. They ushered in the use of flat graphic cartoon designs. Great colours and character designs.

Ren and Stimpy succeeded in different areas. R&S was more about character acting. Most PPG episodes and Dexters episodes have the same handful of expressions, while it was R&S mission to come up with new expressions and poses.

Different but both excellent.

>>79603050
I checked the credits for the episode. John K still voiced Ren at this time, but the episode was completed after he was fired.

>>79605167
I don't think billy west does a good ren, his voice slips sometimes while Kricfalusi he sticks with the Lorre accent. I remember when he got pissed when West took credit for Ren's voice and kept bringing it up in an interview with Howard Stern, making west look bad.

John K has said so about Wolverton on his blog but there's no doubt the gangsters from Great Piggy Bank Robbery influnced him too. It's his favourite cartoon ever.

He also mentioned the Fleischer Popeye cartoons where they'd do closeups and the characters would look all wrinkly and grotesque but those close ups were usually animated.

It's literally just about three friends dicking around trying to scam money from the other kids in order to buy fucking candy. It's the plot of almost every episode and it's fucking fantastic in its execution and artstyle (it is the last Cartoon Cartoon type show to be traditionally animated and the longest-running).

Ugly to look at? Fine I can give you that.

Exactly.

That's why it's such a good show, because kids are brutally honest, even when they try to lie.

It makes the final movie all the more touching when they neighborhood kids finally accept Eddy and the Eds into the fold because they saw just how much of a shitbag his brother is and how desperately Eddy tries to impress him. Even Kevin feels bad for him.

>>79610181
But then that means they won't scam no more??

>>79611295
That's why it was the finale movie, anon. Everyone moves on eventually.

The ending of the film wasn't exactly sad, but I found myself tearing up a bit. More than likely because I grew up with this cartoon and this was truly the last well-made original cartoon on CN that was from the era of my childhood. It was both saddening and cathartic, like the end of Toy Story 3.
