The Ren & Stimpy Show is an animated series created and usually directed by John Kricfalusi until his firing in September 1992, resulting in Games Animation taking over production for further episodes. It lasted from 1991 until 1995, with two more episodes debuting on MTV in 1996.

A series without continuity, it chronicles the many lives of narcissistic and often psychotic asthma-hound chihuahua Ren Hoëk and his dimwitted cat friend, Stimpson "Stimpy" J. Cat. This series is known for changing the style and attitude of cartoons with its brand of gross-out humor.

A spin-off series, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", aired on Spike TV in 2003 with humor geared towards adults exclusively, being sexually explicit as well as gross-out hence the name.
