"Ren & Stimpy" Profile

By Nancy Basile, About.com

Premise: Ren & 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"
Cast: John Kricfalusi, the creator of "Ren & Stimpy," voices Ren. Billy West ("Futurama") voices Stimpy. Cheryl Chase ("Rugrats") voices Mrs. Pipe. Alan Young ("DuckTales") voices Haggis MacHaggis. Dom Deluise ("Cannonball Run") voices Big Kahuna.
