Ren & Stimpy was an incredibly rude cartoon from the 1990’s full of violence and innuendo. I was even banned from watching an episode by youtube until I had confirmed my birth date!!! This stuff was going out on Nickleodeon. The video shown here is a compilation of scenes – very bizarre ones at that. […]

I tried to explain this once, to a group of drunken friends after a late shift. They didn’t remember the cartoon, but proceeded to re-enact the start […]
