'Ren and Stimpy'

By Nancy Basile, About.com Guide

Nickelodeon Ren and Stimpy

L-R: Ren and Stimpy

Nickelodeon

Premise:

Ren and Stimpy are sort of a cartoon version of The Odd Couple, if it occurred on a strange and very mean, but funny, planet. Usually the plots involve Ren coercing Stimpy into one of his many failed schemes.

Ren:

Chihuahua Ren is a very bitter and mean little dog who takes out his frustrations on his loyal friend Stimpy. He's very greedy and ambitious, wanting bigger pecs and more money.

Stimpy:

Poor Stimpson J. Cat isn't very bright, but he's a good friend. He can be seen dragging his litter box behind him from time to time. He is also know to spout, "Happy, happy, joy, joy!" on occasion.

Favorite Quote:

"Oh boy, that smells so good, I have to smell it again!" - "The House Of Next Tuesday"
