New Ren & Stimpy Cartoon

Knuckles · 06-26-2003, 08:55 PM

Anyone seen the previews for the new Ren & Stimpy series on TNN? Well, I did, and I just watched it. Lemme tell ya, I was a big fan of Ren & Stimpy as a kid, (as most were when it came out) but omg--this new series is just wrong. I realize that Ren & Stimpy was supposed to be gross, and I realize they could only get away with so much on Nickleodeon, (in fact, I'm surprised that they got away with as much as they did) but this new one just takes things too far. I'm sorry, but some of the stuff they had was just awful. I'm sure the original intention of Ren & Stimpy was what is now being shown, (TV-MA, btw) and if that's true, then I'm sorry I was ever a fan. This has basically ruined R&S forever for me. I had high hopes--I knew it was going to be more adult-oriented, (it has the word "adult" in the subtitle of the show, even) and I was prepared for swearing and a little bit more grossness--but it was nonstop grossness and there was some pretty obscene stuff thrown in too. One thing was so bad, that it makes me sick to think about. If you thought the show used to be gross--you haven't seen anything. The new Gary the Rat show or whatever it is looks uninteresting, and Stripperella looks just plain stupid, so I didn't bother watching those, but man am I disillusioned tonight. I went to lengths to watch this new R&S cartoon too--my normal TV didn't have TNN programmed, because I never watched it, and it could only be reprogrammed with a remote I never used normally, and the batteries in it were dead, and so were any other batteries of that type I had, so I had to dig in my rubble-packed closet to find my old semi-broken TV with auto-programming, and just got it going in time. Sigh.

Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

I need to wash my eyes out with scalding water, excuse me...

*Jephael* · 06-26-2003, 09:37 PM

I;m probably not going to get into it too much, but from the previews I watched acouple nights ago, I think it'll be cool.

Peanut · 06-26-2003, 09:43 PM

I thought it was good. Striperella was pretty cool too. Gary The Rat = Worst animated show ever!!!!

"You're the pitcher, I'm the catcher!"

I didn't see the whole thing but it was rather funny in a severely twisted way.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 06-27-2003, 02:23 AM

I need to watch TV more; I wasn't even aware that this was on.

BTW, to anyone that was a real youngin' when the first R&S was on, were you like me and banned from watching it by your parents?

Knuckles · 06-27-2003, 03:49 AM

I was actually encouraged to watch it by my parents--they were the ones who first told me about it. I'm sure they didn't know the grossness level though. Anyway, I guess my sense of humor is just not geared towards this kind of stuff. The part where Stimpy's nose, um, I'm not even gonna say it, but anyone who saw it knows, was just horrifying. Especially when you consider that these guys were a big part of my childhood, and they're doing this kinda stuff--it's very disturbing.

"not tonight stimpy, I'm too tired"

Me and My friends couldn't believe what we saw

I kinda liked it, but it was a little on the gross side.

Peanut · 06-27-2003, 10:13 AM

Yeah I never thought I'd see Ren & Stimpy doing....that....if you know what I mean. That was kind of messed up, but the rest was cool.

Yeah, the way parents encourage their children to put their fingers in the light socket

"Mommy, can I watch Ren and Stimpee?"

"Sure, dear, go right ahead...(evil smile on face)"

*kid comes back after watching it screaming horrificly*

"See, dear, I knew you'd be disgusted by it. Bet you won't want to watch it again!"

i never even heard about a new R&S...

i liked the old show.... although Ren IS a chihuahua

*That Matt Guy* · 06-27-2003, 11:46 AM

**GK Punk** · 06-27-2003, 12:24 PM

yep, you heard me

*JameO* · 06-27-2003, 01:05 PM

I missed the new one not knowing when it was going to come on. Then it was too late I saw the old one that Matt probably saw. Making love? oh my.

*Mars-Chan* · 06-27-2003, 03:23 PM

REN IS A WHAT!??!?!

**HorseTechie** · 06-27-2003, 04:07 PM

I was just gonna wonder.. wasn't Ren a chi? All the more for me to hate that show.

But what was treally finny, is that one fo the guys at work was telling us about this, He said it was on some new channel called the Men's Network. Ane he watched the first part of this episodoe and thought it was one of the wierdest things he has ever seen.

Man... sometimes I really miss the good old days of Beavis and Butthead.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU · 06-27-2003, 06:07 PM

I saw the last 5 minutes of it cuz I forgot it was on.

I thought what I saw was OK.

~~Leo656~~ · 06-27-2003, 09:10 PM

K, the "new" network HT speaks of, "America's First Network For Men" as it's currently called, is actually TNN, formerly The National Network and The Nashville Network before that. To compete with Maxim's upcoming Maxim TV channel, TNN decided to change their name to "Spike TV", with the tagline "America's First Network for Men". But get this: Spike Lee sued them, saying the name Spike TV infringes upon him in some way and that they are "using his name without permission", and he actually won an injunction or something, and they're currently in court. So, for now, TNN is officially known as "America's First Network For Men." Tell your friends.

And my parents never had any problem with me watching Ren n Stimpy, or Beavis and Butthead for that matter. Cuz my parents did a lotta drugs and didn't care what I did as long as I didn't rape or kill anyone. So screwed-up cartoons were ok.
