Many episodes of _Ren & Stimpy_ were completely off-kilter, I think this one was truly terrifying. Every time you saw Ren produce that tormented, demented smile, you realized that the only thing keeping him from exploding in an uncontrolled orgy of gruesome mass murder was that happiness helmet ...

As messed up as this episode is, Ren genuinely thanking Stimpy at the end was pretty wholesome, because without Stimpy forcing Ren to be happy all the time, he wouldn't have realized what trully made him happy.
As a kid you laugh because the funny cartoons smash butts and the song sounds weird. As an adult you laugh because you listened to the lyrics, realizing this is a song about a crazy guy on a shooting rampage after he went nuts, and somehow this made it into a kids show without the censors noticing.
As an older person who watched R&S in my early twenties in college, I didn’t get ‘shooting rampage’. I got flashbacks to ‘Nam. We didn’t have mass shootings until after Columbine :(
@@ficklekid_ed86 It was John who did the original voice of Stinky on the cartoon soundtrack. By the time the "You Eediot" album was in preparation, John was already fired, so Bob Camp and Billy West filled in for the version of the "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" song on the album. Needless to say, John was pissed at that and said it was blackmail on Nickelodeon's part. Today, not many would feel sorry for John's woes and would agree he had it coming to him with his arrogance.
@@ficklekid_ed86 True, John is a jerkass, but it's all subjective. I still love R&S and have learned in the past six years to love the art, not the creator.
Us millennials grew up watching stuff like this and Rocko's Modern Life and catching reruns of Twin Peaks and people wonder why we are the way that we are.
I grew up watching this, but I also watched DuckTales. Looney Tunes. Hanna-Barbera. Rocky and Bullwinkle. Tons more. That adds up to a well-rounded youth.
I love how Ren remains happy even while he's hitting his head with a hammer... it's truly the happiest he'll ever be. So angry that his ultimate happiness is brain damage or death.
He wasn't happy by nature, but by force of Stimpy's goofball invention. It was pure torture for Ren to be forced to be happy and dumb like Stimpy. That's why he hammered the helmet off his head until it broke to pieces. He thought it was liberating to be angry. "I love being angry", he concluded before a close up shot aims at Ren at his most paranoid. On the other hand, I've seen Ren being happy unintentionally at times when the mood struck him, but he clearly didn't liked to be forced into fake happiness by Stimpy's commands. "Happy to be of service?" was Stimpy's confused response at Ren being happy at being angry.
Kids cartoons these days: “Be kind to each other, and be a wonderful person.” Kids cartoons back in the day “I TOLD YOU I’D SHOOT, BUT YOU DIDN’T BELIEVE ME! WHY DIDN’T YOU BELIEVE ME?!?!?”
Back in the day, kids were allowed to think for themselves and grow. These days, kids are forced to spew the same brainless garbage over and over again.
The decade before Ren and Stimpy we had Get Along Gang, Rainbow Bright and My Little Pony. Plus, cartoons these days have friggin Gumball. If you don't know what that is, watch a few clips out of context.
@@RailfannerJones Animators and layout artists make slip ups like that all of the time when on a deadline rush. John, of course loved to deliberately take his time on his work and often said "screw deadlines" at networks who demanded them. This is one reason why a lot of animation companies refuse to work with him. His sexual bad habits and habits of hating many things were only half of the problem with his anti-social behavior.

@@JeanFrancois17 Ren & Stimpy was Jean-Yves Raimbaud's (creator of Oggy and Space Goofs) favourite cartoon. He was friend with Bob Camp (showrunner of R&S)
@timbermicka Bob Camp is basically easier to get along with than John. On the other hand, Bob goes from one assignment to another restlessly. He's a one-and-done type of animator in the business. He was on the 2024 version of "Ren & Stimpy" and "Spongebob", but quickly left both series due to his restless nature, and the fact that Paramount/Nickelodeon rejected some of his ideas as well. He just doesn't hold a grudge against the system for over 30 years like John has done.
Yo, just found out I have to sit for a freaking clep exam... happy happy joy joy... no matter what life throws at me, I always come back to happy happy joy joy
The humor of Ren & Stimpy will always be very subjective, but nobody wirth appreciation for art could ever watch this show and call its audiovisual composition anything short of masterly.
As a kid you look at Stimpy and how funny he's being. As an adult, you look at Ren, and feel concerned.
Does he need Puppy Uppers or Doggy Downers? Or maybe the new Poochy Prozac?
Very concerned
As a kid (liked the show)
As a Adult (John K Did bad you gave up)
Pretty much, at times I feel sorry for Ren and actually cheered when he unleashed all his rage on George. XD
Literally so concerned, and then you're like how the hell did the adults let us watch this shit!!! Hahahaha! Like it's makes you wonder a lil lol!

1:55-2:27 Watching Ren hammering the helmet on his head is so dang funny even while the song is still playing
2:13 stimpy doing his thing with his butt.
When his legs dislocate from his butt
When it’s raining outside, I play Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.
I TOLD YOU ID SHOOT

WHY DIDNT YOU BELIEVE ME
Kids cartoons these days: “Be kind to each other, and be a wonderful person.”
Kids cartoons back in the day “I TOLD YOU I’D SHOOT, BUT YOU DIDN’T BELIEVE ME! WHY DIDN’T YOU BELIEVE ME?!?!?”
Back in its day, I think parent were trying to hide this from their kids. Trying, being the key word here.

Ren during this video is how I feel whenever I worked retail and we had "team building exercises" and other "mandatory fun" seminars.
Ah, fond memories....this and Space Madness were two of my favorites!
They are like a bad acid trip. Watching Ren and Stimpy as an adult is a lot different 😂
Space Madness rules!
✨️🪐🤣🚀🌙
I love how he had a green housecoat on then it disappears next frame.
The kitchen counter also changed color when Ren was trying to get the hammer to destroy his mind control headset.
That's what's wrong with this? 😂 Good catch tho.

What about “Don’t Wizz on the Electric Fence?”

Remember this "upbeat" piece was contemporary with the early 90s classics of Type O Negative, Nirvana and Pearl Jam...!
1:09 Dude, those kissing sounds-
takes the sentence "kiss my ass" to a whole new level
"I TOLD you I'd shoot...but you didnt believe me.....WHY didn't you believe me?!"
“You’re darn’ tootin’ I’m angry!”
By far the most iconic scene in Ren and Stimpy history. I mean the documentary is named after it after all.
Poor Ren. Seriously. 😅 He needs a freaking break.
I can't help but pity Ren somewhat for what the show puts him through...even if he's a massive jerk.
1:09 That butt-bopping sounds like squeaky kissing
Yeah it's 2 buttholes kissing
LOOOL

The little critters of nature...they don't know that they're ugly!

I like the little detail of the helmet becoming more and more damaged after every hit instead of just putting the animation on loop.
I play this every few months
The truth is ren wants to kill stimpy the whole time
Why this show was ever allowed for children is a mystery
Fr
I think it originally aired on MTV, not Nickelodeon, ironically.
Nickelodeon knew their auidence back then
I remember it being on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, and whenever it came on, my parents would make me change the channel or turn it off.
It's like Bevis and Butthead
I just want to meet the beautiful minds that created this utterly batshit INSANE cartoon. Simply a marvel to behold.
The guy who crated ren and Stimpy was an asshole to his coworkers. And a pedophile.
no you don't...
@@MarsTheMellowAgreed.
Nononooooo just no....
Only sadness awaits
John Kricfalusi also did a music video for Björk.
this is one demented cartoon, and that's why we loved it LOL
Ren's pained smile sells it
Still one of the funniest things I've ever seen over 30 years later.
I miss watching the good old days of Nickelodeon with my dad he loved this and CatDog and spongebob when it was good 😎👍
This never ceases to take me back to when I would watch this on Nickelodeon during the 90's.

I totally forgot this bit. Stimpy is kind of drawn like freddy flintstone a bit.

the part of the hammer is freakin' demential
Ive never watched ren and stimpy ever in my life, but this was beautiful
Big Country is my favorite western and never got the reference to it in this cartoon until I was grown.
In all these years I never got that reference!
Use to watch this in the morning after a friday night out back in college. Very rough Saturday mornings
Love that in the song, the singer admits a murder ... "I TOLD YOU I WILL SHOOT YOU... WHY YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME!!!????"
Greatest line ever.
It is a line from the movie Big Country. Burl Ivis character had just shot his son
I like playing this song while mowing people down in saints row.
1:26 genuinely broke me for no natural reason
I can hear Fry and the Professor in Billy West's voice acting lol
Yeah and in the 90s Flintstones movie. The bowling scene you can hear the intro from ren and stimpy.
2:13 got me dying😂😂😂😂😂
This taught a whole generation about how bad it is pretending to be happy to please others.
0:37
Thx
I TOLD YOU I'D SHOOT, BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME...WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME???
This is the greatest moment in cartoon history.
"Hello boys and girls, this is your old pal stinky wizzleteats."
2:04 this is the most horrifying part of the episode
Its horrifying to the point of why this shit is hilarious 😂😂
My mom thinks ren bashing his head with a hammer is funny...
What do you mean? It's hilarious.
They drew it in a way that it looks like blood is filling the scene
@@KokoGogo1728It can be both.

Btw ren and stimpy I actually enjoyed watching them when I was younger lol
this particular cartoon is my favorite cartoon in the history of forever and id like it playing in my head during the entire workday

This is legitimately scary the look on tens face when he comes Down stares is Menniacal.
I love this! Thanks for uploading🎉
Christ it was unhinged and that made it all the more delightful 😂
2:15 stimpy was twerking lol
This and the horse in the rubber nipple sales when he held up the wallace and it said "call the police" 😆 🤣
This show was fuckin brilliant and this is one of my favorite episodes
I used to have a t-shirt of this!
HAPPY,HAPPY,JOY,JOY! YES,I needed this!😅😅😅❤❤❤
Ren was determined to break that brain control machine. Hammer is always the answer. 🤣
This song illustrates my day from start to finish.
Flawless cut!

A very rv park Larry the cable guy hill Billy duck dynasty name
This is your old pal "Dr. IVO RRROBAAATNEEEK"

Maturing is realizing we were way too young to watch this show and we liked it 😅😅😂😂
i play this on my speaker during work every now and then lol
I LOVE how when ren uses the hammer to use to smash the happy helmet its clangs match with the shout and the rhythm.
