  I still don’t understand why and how this TV show ever existed

    Because it’s so fucking impressive from a technical level.

    John Kricfalusi is insane (and a groomer). He actually got fired from Ren and Stimpy for two reasons. The first being “creative differences” (read: dude, why are you putting so much sex and shock humor into this kids’ cartoon?), and the second being a failure to meet deadlines.

    That failure to meet deadlines was due to the fact that he would make animators work for days on just a few frames. If it didn’t look exactly right, if one line was off about it, it got sent back and redone.

    I don’t really think R&S is the funniest show, and they certainly go out of their way to make you not want to look at it, but fuck it is gorgeous from a technical standpoint.

    When I was a young teenager, I turned on the telly to Nickelodeon and they were showing an episode of Ren & Stimpy.
    The scene I turned the TV on to involved him grating the skin off his arm, followed by him pouring salt into the open wound.

    Absolutely mad show, I have always wondered the same lol.
