Big House Blues | The Ren & Stimpy Show

2:56 - Ren's best acted moment.

[@davidrule385]

Now, this is quite important; This, as we know, is the original pilot episode from right where the Ren & Stimpy phenomenon began, and as you can tell, some parts from it were always used in the beginning of the show. Plus, to give a little fact, the pilot, during the making and release of Season Two, replaced the other episode, "Man's Best Friend", because Nickelodeon said it, particularly one scene alone, was quote-on-quote "too violent". That's one reason why John K. had to go.

[@blazenathan8375]

@David Rule Well it wasn't all from that most of it was from missed dead lines and being to strick.

[@davidrule385]

@@blazenathan8375 Well, yeah, exactly.

[@Hamster_Pants]

It’s “quote unquote”

[@Kurotama11]

@@Hamster_Pantseven better, it’s meant as a way of implying quotation So when you use it in conjunction with the actual marks in writing, it becomes redundant

[@venkman8765]

Honestly the animation here is just as I remember as a kid - grossly hypnotic. That old man hunger was horribly disturbing to watch but I still cant look away. Not sure if I ever really enjoyed Ren and Stimpy or was just too afraid to turn over. Grim. But Great.

[@romancandlefight1144]

Definitely not made for kids lol

[@Manticorn]

Oof, but the quality of it is honestly very rough, even compared to the later episodes. But I guess I can give a pass to a pilot episode.

[@lostinspace_yt]

Really dig the art style used in the pilot!

[@ryandalton2834]

Stimpy: What’s the big sleep, Ren? Ren: He’s… DEAD!! DEAD, YOU IDIOT! YOU KNOW WHAT DEAD IS?! JUST LIKE WE’LL BE IF WE DON’T GET OUTTA HERE!

Is it only me who likes Ren's pilot design more than the design they use in later episodes?

[@noir269]

me too lol his design was a lot cuter in the earlier episodes

his big and taller ears fit him more

you can tell the artstyle or their designs changed throughout the show's run like ren's ears became smaller

If you put this + "Rugrats (1991)" + "Doug" you get Nickelodeon's 1st 3 Nicktoons EVER!

[@WULDORI]

TECHNICALLY it's true that this was the first episode made; it was the pilot used to convince the exec's to greenlight more. However the first episode broadcasted to kids everywhere was "Stimpy's Big Day".

[@WULDORI]

@@shaunrodney even though Doug wasn't as popular as either Rugrats or Ren and Stimpy, I will say I was impressed with how it pioneered the use of nearly-strictly mouthmade sound effects lol

[@itsjayden8002]

I love how they only used clips from the pilot in the theme song and never changed it. I never saw the pilot on TV, and I always wondered where those clips originated from.

[@crimsonator]

Jasper is my favorite character. 01:59

[@trusstee1]

Fallout energy

[@CatOfTheYearuWu]

Jaspers expressions are so unnerving. It’s like if he thinks about something too much he’s consumed by horrific thoughts so he pops on a smile and acts calm to keep whatever sanity he has left

[@Jabroniville]

And that weird tendency of John K characters to over-mouth every word they’re saying, while talking really slow. Uncanny valley.
