Top 10 Reasons Why the Ren & Stimpy Show is Genuinely Extremely Overrated

Doug was extremely boring and generic but still had quite a lot to teach kids about what hitting puberty was like;

Rugrats was extremely overhyped by its channel but still had quite a lot to teach both kids and adults alike about the sheer power of imagination to transform mundane everyday life into one of the most amazing things ever;

Rocko's Modern Life, in addition to being absolutely hilarious and easily one of THE greatest and (at its time) most criminally underrated animated satire shows of all time, had countless things to "teach" emo hipster teenagers about how much life sucks in the modern-day adult world, and how socially alienating it really, truly is;
Hey Arnold is kind of likewise to Rocko's Modern Life only without the utterly manic insanity and randomness;

Wild Thornberries wasn't exactly one of 90s Nick's more memorable shows but was environmentally friendly at least;

Rocket Power was stupid and pointless and tried way too hard to be ...more

What is the point of this list just watch both it's just that simple, IGN is a game site what would the now about movies or series and if were are talking about 90's Nickelodeon: most would say Doug, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Kablam, Ren and Stimpy, catdog, Ahhh! Real Monsters, and The Wild Thornberrys all of which were good in its own ways with 90s charm

Yeah I would. "Objectively" I love the show. Why is that a big issue with you? I cannot even watch Rocko's Modern Life as the DVD I looked at on Amazon was in a region that I would not be able to watch it. I would like to; but I can't.

And of course, IGN still kicked Rocko off of its Top 100 Best Cartoons list in ridiculously biased favor of R&S regardless (honestly, this is a perfect example of something that gets praised for its innovation factor at the time when it was released rather than being praised for its actual QUALITY; go ahead, try and correct me if I'm supposedly wrong)

It made 2828282828 shows copy it

Be honest; can you really say with a straight face that R&S, of all things, is a jaw-droppingly brilliant suburban ennui satire that would make OK Computer green with envy? Even at its best, it's more-often-than-not just your average gross-out show with a few (admittedly) rather negligible twists here and there

SpongeBob (first 3 seasons) are better received than Ren and Stimpy.

For example:

Golden-Age (1990s) Simpsons
Golden-Age (first four seasons) Spongebob
Batman: The Animated Series (do I REALLY need to explain how wrong he is about this one? )

Animaniacs and Rocko's Modern Life (both EASILY god-tier as far as all-ages comedy shows are concerned)

South Park and Futurama (even though the latter IS considerably less interesting than the former)
(to an extent) Adventure Time and Regular Show (despite all of their stupidly forced meme humor)

(case in point, he's a pretentious "back in my day" douche that basically just wants every cartoon on Earth to be a straight-up copy of Looney Tunes and clearly doesn't understand how important good writing actually is in shows, leading us directly into the Radiohead-referencing entry, which of course is simply none other than...)

And that interferes with the show's quality because...?

This should just be:
Ren and Stimpy sucks because I like Rocko's Modern Life more

See the "contemporaries" entry's description for more info

That, and those two seasons are also pretty much the only good thing to ever come out of John K's career
(much like how Rocko was basically the only good thing to come out of Joe Murray's, I'm well aware, but STILL, whether you personally like it or not, at least THAT show's golden age lasted through the entire series and actually has FOUR seasons as opposed to this pathetic measly two that R&S has; don't you even dare try to preach the classic "quality over quantity" excuse to me either, because I've already heard it ALL too many times before)

All 5 seasons were good other than the spinoff.

I've seen the animation of Rocko's Modern Life by pictures. I prefer the Ren and Stimpy animation.

In short, while R&S might be the more elaborately drawn show of the two, RML is by FAR the better-animated in reality

Honestly, why else would the (admittedly classic) Stimpy's Fan Club episode exist?
And for the record, RML and Spongebob actually have a LOT of good characters.
For RML, we have Rocko himself (FAR beyond relatable), Heffer (mostly because of his backstory), Filburt (when the show actually bothers to feature him, that is), Dr. Hutchison (likewise), all three of the Bigheads (most ESPECIALLY Ralph), Spunky (because he's just too damned cute), Really Really Big Man (absolutely spot-on parody of superheroes), the Chameleon Brothers (simply hilarious Mexican stereotypes) and Sheila (despite the fact that she only appears in one specific episode in which the show is already more-than-arguably past its true prime).
For Spongebob, we have Spongebob himself (be honest, you want to snuggle him too), Patrick (clearly smarter than he makes himself out to be, at the very least), Plankton (basically undersea Zim), Mr. Krabs (early-seasons Krabs only, for the most part and for VERY obvious ...more

Stimpy so good.

And people seriously call R&S the (overall) more adult show of the two

No, Rocko's Modern Life is acclaimed.

For example:
Ren threatening to savagely mutilate Stimpy and Sven limb-from-limb in Sven Hoek
Ren becoming President and plotting to horrifically strangle Stimpy to death in his sleep in Stimpy's Fan Club
Ren hallucinating a bar of soap into his "beloved ice cream bar" and Stimpy pressing the History Eraser Button in Space Madness
"Happy Happy Joy Joy" from Stimpy's Invention
Stimpy being forced to extremely fetishistically mouth-vore Ren in The Boy Who Cried Rat

Nah, I love the golden episodes than more than a few scenes

Ren and Stimpy has a lot of substance
