Kricfalusi and his crew were uncompromising in their ambition to diverge from the boring, cheaply-animated and moral-heavy programming they despised working on for years by setting out to make cartoons funny again.
One of the first three Nicktoons, which premiered alongside Doug and Rugrats on August 11, 1991, Ren & Stimpy broke the mould in many ways. And just when you thought you've seen everything, it gives us an almighty Tear Jerker tale about a sentient fart cloud! And that's not even counting its macabre tone - in The Ren & Stimpy Show, even a standard sitcom plot such as "Ren is jealous that Stimpy has a fan club" could become a tale of operatic angst and rage. Even its dialogue was pulled up to eleven - Ren didn't so much talk as scream threats and insults in other people's faces. In its visuals, even traditional Animation Tropes were taken up a notch characters frequently Temporarily Atomise things the size of a nuclear submarine, and Non-Fatal Explosions generally take out at least one state. The show was over-the-top in every way imaginable.
Cat (West), who often makes Ren angry with his eediocy. Well, Nickelodeon did, and the result was The Ren & Stimpy Show, which detailed the adventures of an inverted version of the cat and dog duo, consisting of a smart, yet mentally unbalanced and psychopathic chihuahua named Ren Höek (voiced by Kricfalusi in the first two seasons, with Billy West taking his place for the remaining episodes) and his feline sidekick, a cheery but Buffoonish Tom Cat named Stimpson J.

Who in their right minds would give a mainstream animated series to John Kricfalusi, the enigmatic Canadian animator known for causing chaos throughout the '80s with his attempts in putting out a grotesque, almost obscene art style which played up every body hair, pimple, bulging vein, oozing sore, lump of unsightly fat, and pock-marked butt cheek, whilst proudly flaunting around showing off the most disgusting and disturbing parts of internal anatomy?
