Ren & Stimpy - The Lost Episodes

Oh, MAN this DVD is hilarious... the creators tell it best at the beginning. The plots were full of things that are funny to kids -- farting, boogers, etc. -- but not so much for adults. Asked to create Ren & Stimpy cartoons for adults, they did and they did it in spades! Very hilarious... in one cartoon, they go to the beach and, as you might guess, Stimpy loves being outdoors in the fresh air, building a sand castle, whereas Ren is checking out the bikini babes, one of whom bends over right in front of him, causing him to squeeze the suntan lotion he is holding, sending a big gob of goo flying right at her. That's just a small part of this DVD. It's classic. Get it. Worth every nickel.

I brought this dvd with some reservation since earlier reviews were so mixed. However I was not disappointed. John K. and other commentaries from the shows creators are very detailed. These are people who make cartoons out of a sheer love for the old craft. And it's good to see that I am not the only one who enjoys real animation and not this market driven 3D garbage that's passing for art these days. This said, the episodes I found were too few. Naked Beach Party of course is very adult, more ranchy than funny but funny nontheless. The other episodes seemed funnier. I certainly hope John K. makes more of these cartoons even if he has to send them to the direct to video circuit. There are simply few cartoons aimed towards adults who enjoy animation and not necessarily anime which has become a tired genre as most of it is aimed low for the kiddy market. Keep John K. We need more output from you and your fellow Spumco artist. Animation is circling the drain right now.

But now I've witnessed perfection. The immaculate blend of kid cartoon animation and adult humor in one big steamy heaping amalgamation of human filth that I so desperately crave. This is DISGUSTING. And I loved every second of it. Watch this crap.

If you ever had any doubt that John K. was a raging lunatic, here's your proof. I first saw these at a festival hosted by John K. himself, and I about died laughing. Seeing Ren and Stimpy in such an X-rated fashion is interesting and outrages, and while I think that John K. is indeed a genius of animation, I think he could have held back a bit on some of these. Still, 'Naked beach Frenzy''Ren seeks Help' and 'Altruists' are brilliantly demented and must be seen to be believed by fans of the original series.

I was so glad to find this D.V.D as these cartoons as great as they were,were thought to be to risque by the more conservative arm of the production company. Once again we have more crazy colorful characters invented by the great "John K".If you love "Ren and Stimpy you will not be able to go past this D.V.D. Although over a decade since they were first made it is a real treat to watch these cartoon as fresh as the day they were first made.If you love "Ren and Stimpy" I could not recommend more highly this edition of "Ren and Stimpy",they may have been lost but I am glad I found them.

I honestly laughed out loud at every one of these episodes. Yes they're gross and sick and twisted, juvenile and silly. So were the early episodes. Only these are more so. They are adult, and they are the episodes John K pitched to Nick back in the day that they passed on. It seems to have "offended" people here who remember the "old" shows as being more "appropriate." Whatever. The Don't Wizz episode was somehow less offensive? The thing to realize here (and if you watch the 'extra crap' you won't have a chance to ignore it) is that these episodes were created without interference from studios, focus groups or illiterate script wannabes. They were created by people who love animation the way it should be made: real humans painting real cells, voice talent with inspired scripts, bits and pieces, and the sophomoric mind of John K. Don't forget: John and his team, along with Ralph Bakshi, broke the animation business out of a 10 year zombie-like lull that brought you Smurfs and Strawberry Shortcake. He's a hero, and these 'toons are heroic. YAY!

Love Ren & Stimpy but I don't dare let my grandson see this particular release. It's a bit raw for a six year old. But I love it and he can watch when he gets to be 18. I paid ~$7 in 2011 and I can't tell you why it's $21 today. Maybe legal issues but I don't know. All in all it's a great collector's item and collectibles usually only go up over time. Most of these were banned from TV but today they would be ok late at night.

Here’s the short review: This DVD set is an abomination. Here’s the longer review: I’m a fan of the original Ren and Stimpy, particularly the episodes where creator John Kricfalusi was involved. I bought this DVD set thinking that these episodes would be something like the once great Ren and Stimpy in its early days. I was proven wrong. It was an absolute chore to actually sit and watch these episodes. So what’s wrong with it all? Lots of things. (A few spoilers below.) First, my one positive for the show: The animation is beautiful. It is unbelievable how good the animation is on a TV budget. It’s fantastic, and those crazy facial expressions are back. Now, onto the negative. Why do we need to get into Ren and Stimpy’s sexuality? They are gay here. This would appear to have been done for humor. The problem is, it’s not funny. It’s actually disturbing. Who wants to see sexuality coming from cartoon animals? When Ren and Stimpy are gay, it’s uncomfortable to watch. And in “Naked Beach Frenzy,” when we get to see Ren getting excited by the hot girls at the beach, it’s just as uncomfortable to watch. Stimpy getting pregnant and developing female breasts? Stimpy French Kissing a duck? This stuff doesn’t provide humor. It’s rather a bunch of lame jokes designed to make this show more adult, and yet more stupid. Why is this series so mean-spirited? Sure, Ren was always a jerk. But it was funny in the old series. Here, it’s taken to a whole new level. Ren is not likeable at all here. In “Ren Seeks Help,” those flashbacks to Ren’s childhood are not funny. They’re just psychotic and painful to watch. Mean comedy can be funny, but it’s all about balance. Here’s it’s all mean. How can you root for someone you don’t like? How can mean comedy be funny when the comedy is gone and it’s all just mean? In the episode introductions, I love how John K. likes to bring up classic cartoons such as Looney Tunes and Popeye, as though they were an inspiration to him. Those animated shorts had class. These don’t. Those shorts should not even be mentioned alongside this mess. Also, when John K. talks of one episode being inspired by The Three Stooges, that inspiration didn’t amount to much. Having gags where Ren simply punches Stimpy in the face and material like that doesn’t work here, where Ren is already a complete jerk. Violence was funny on The Three Stooges because it was slapstick and balanced with other humor, but the violence is just forced here. Gross-out humor was always a part of Ren and Stimpy. Here, it goes too far and is just plain disgusting at times. Do we really want to see the characters eating a man’s vomit? Or Ren getting mouth-to-mouth from a hairy man and then swallowing a huge pile of the man’s hair? I watched these six episodes waiting and waiting and waiting for things to get better. They don’t. I laughed maybe one time per episode. Most of the time I was cringing or checking the clock. This is not comedy. It’s all material done for shock value. How gross can we be? How dark and twisted can we get? How uneasy can we make the audience? These are the questions that the creators of this show must have pondered. You know that feeling when you watch something great and it stays with you long after? Well this is the opposite of that. Do yourself a favor and avoid watching these so you don’t have to be haunted by the painful memories of what you saw like I now am.

Llego antes de tiempo, y en buen estado, lamentablemente la carta de John K. dentro del DVD vino lastimada, pero de ahí en fuera, todo excelente.

For any Ren and stimpy fan of the first 2 series this is great. More adult but hilarious. Thanks John k.

i love ren and stimpy adult party cartoon its amazing it came in good condition i loved the original ren and stimpy to but the original is not for kids and sometimes i feel like there was no reason to make a adult party cartoon to begin with considering how Vulgar and Disgusting the original was so bassically i just call this the more Vulgar version of ren and stimpy it has more swearing and sexual stuff and is definately not for kids the same could be said for the original to but anyway like i said i love ren and stimpy the lost episodes its one of the best Adult cartoons ive watched lol
