Anyways, let's look beyond the bandwagon, and ignore the hyperbolic rage, and take a look at what specifically makes Ren and Stimpy: "Adult Party Cartoon" fail...again...

      I thought he made the Adult Party Cartoons out of spite from getting fired from the first seasons.
      If someone had the freedom to do whatever they wants with their own works without studio's interventions and be able to raise the age of an originally kid show, they would be thrilled. He ruined it.

    I feel like the main reason the original Ren and Stimpy worked so well was because there was always someone there, telling John that what he should and shouldn’t do. Like “No John, you can’t make an episode that just gross-out jokes” or “You can’t make an episode about Stimpy getting pregnant.” Without that other force, you basically allowing an animator with no self-control to do whatever they want, leading to a big mess of unfunny gags and sex appeal.

      Tbf there was already an episode called “Son of Stimpy” about Stimpy giving birth to a fart and that one was sorta funny, so an episode directly about Stimpy getting pregnant (or protecting an egg or something) could have worked. Instead the intense grossout, painful to watch Stimpy abuse, lackluster pacing and homophobic implications ruined it. Definitely my least favorite episode in the adult show. I’d rather watch Onward and Upward (barely) compared to whatever the hell that was.

      Indeed, that he treated her leaving as though she's the villain and that she ought to be content with her abuse is that too. I think Stimpy in the script is John wanting robin to be content with his abuse towards her and likeoy bribed her with stuff. While ren is John K as his angriest and most abusive
      I now wonder if Stimpy in the script could also represent John K as a sad, powerless man who cries about things not going his way. That he is a control freak, perfectionist pedo who cries when things don't go the way he wants.

    I said it once and will again. I think for Naked Beach Frenzy, John K likely wanted the women to be 14-15 years old, but the cast and crew wanted them to be 20 somethings. I think that the flaws of adult animation remind me of underground comics. The creators work in restrictive mediums and when given freedom decide to put in as much gross out and sex stuff as possible to push boundaries.
    Perhaps Baked Beach Frenzy being porn is how this put stuff that is vulgar mindset eventually does. That they feel that they should make porn. After all isn't porn boundary pushing and taboo? And from this the male writers have excuses to project their sex fantasies and use women as sex props for their fantasies.

    "Onward & Upward" could've worked if the restaurant featured was a fancy pants restaurant known for being so cheap, that it refused to buy actual ingredients; instead deciding to "save it up" by using bodily fluids cooked in the form of foods. And R & S in an attempt to appear classy, reluctantly consume said bodily fluids. You can even have the sales guy scam artist (who is the manager of the restaurant) drop this line to explain things:
    "Here at "La Grosse" we take an innovative approach to saving money! While poor people are spending their not-so-well-earned money on "actual food", La Grosse saves it BIG by using the amazing wonders of the human body to satiate it's customers!"
    As for "Naked Beach Frenzy", cut back the sexual aspect by 50-70%. And have the women want to fuck Stimpy while they ignore Ren. With Stimpy innocently assuming that they are just interested in him non-sexually. A jealous Ren tries to get their attention and shenanigans ensue.

      You know, I actually brainstormed an idea for a gross-out joke that could actually be funny.
      I imagined that at some point, Ren & Stimpy would be getting ready to dig into what they think is sausages, only for Ren to stop after noticing a smell.
      Then, when he finds out where the smell came from, he snaps and shouts "That's it! I draw the line at this!", before being interrupted by a loud burp and turning to see that Stimpy had already finished his meal, to which he replies with "Uhh, what line, Ren?".
      Which leads to Ren in both horror and disgust, rushing to the toilet of their newfound home, where he proceeds to be sick in it.

    Here's a fun fact: Early 2000s. Nick cartoons were often purchased and broadcast on local TV in our region (it introduced me to a lot of great shows that ended up being some of my favorites), and "Adult Party Cartoon" was shown on the same schedule with more innocuous shows such as «SpongeBob» or «Rugrats», INCLUDING the lost episodes (still remember the "Naked Beach Frenzy" one, lol).
    In general, this isn't surprising; animation products were simply purchased without any special checks (don't know how this could happen otherwise). Looks like there was only one opinion: “All cartoons are for children.” After elementary school, you could also watch some ecchi anime with explicit scenes, nudity, or /censored/ (pew-pew scenes). It was on the local broadcast of MTV at noon. Not gonna lie, it was kind of cool, but thinking about it now is just hilarious.

Perfect example is Roco's Modern Life. As well as many other's from the 90's-Y2K era.

      That "bad, stereotypical Latino accent" you speak of, that's suppose to be based on Peter Lorre, as the screaming and insults that Ren provided was based on a scene from "The Maltese Falcon", which is one of the few examples of him being paired with Sydney Greenstreet. Anyways, in that scene, Peter Lorre playing a character in that film yelled at Greenstreet's character for bungling the attempt to get the Falcon Statue, when they found out the statue they bought was made of lead, leading to Peter Lorre hurling insults like "Imbecile", "Bloated Eediot", and "Stupid Fathead". In fact, the Maltese Falcon would later be parodied in Ren & Stimpy Comics, as "The Maltese Stimpy".

      Just curious: how old are you? Were you born yet back in the early 90s? The appeal of Ren and Stimpy is one of those 'you had to be there' situations. Back in the early 90s, super edgy, 'gross out' cartoons were not really a thing, like they are now. Back in the early 90s, something like Ren and Stimpy was new and fresh, revolutionary. But from a modern point of view, yeah, it doesn't appear to be anything special. I guess I can compare it to heavy metal music. Today, metal is an established musical genre - with tons of subgenres. It's just another style of music like any other. But back in the late-70s when the roots of metal were being laid by bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest and others, it was mind-blowing. Like "WOAH!!! What the hell is THIS???"

    The Only 2 things that I aprreciated in these series are the Sound Effects and the Music in the Background
