what do you think is the difference between boogers and goobers stampington
let's do it question renwick
why don't we ask the greatest genius in the world who's that doctor stupid who else
i like boogers a lot oh boy i i honestly don't know where to even start with this one
but here we go ren and stimpy adult party may be one of the most interesting case studies out
there for a situation we rarely if ever even see if you grew up in the 90s you probably are very
familiar with the nickelodeon show ren and stimpy an absurd gross out shock value comedy that was
one of the big few cartoons really putting nickelodeon in place to become the cartoon
cultural phenomenon it was in 1991 the nicktoons brand came to be with the dub
big original three the rugrats doug and yes ren and stimpy so you can't skip over the
importance of the show and how it pushed the boundaries on nickelodeon with crude humor
innuendos and as much gross out humor and slapstick as possible i mean
at least compared to rugrats and doug this was obviously the one that stood out of the crowd
the show ran until 1995 and that was it the show's run had come to an end but the funny thing was
the property of the show didn't really die the show's creator john cr crick fel crick
fellow chris feluci who actually was let go from working on the show in 1992 to not being able to
ever deliver episodes on time was always trying to push the envelope with multiple episodes that
could either not premiere on nickelodeon ever or would just be flat out rejected the show gained
somewhat of a cult following over the next several years after the show had ended culminating in the
parent company of nickelodeon viacom to contact chris valusi to come back to work on a new version
of ren and stimpy one that was specifically for a deemed male audience for spike tv
this version of his show would grant him a more open freedom to be a bit more crude a bit more
edge pushing and a bit more well adult without stifling the creativity and freedom as much in
2003 ren and stimpy adult party cartoon specifically dubbed not for kitties came
to be adult party was essentially only made with one main focus in mind for the network
bringing a somewhat already limit pushing show to the forefront of their adult male cartoon audience
so minus the voice talents of billy west who voiced both ren and stimpy the show was able to
get back a lot of the original people who worked on the original show behind the scenes and some
of the voice actors so the show would at least be mostly in line with what the fans loved about
the original right we're altruists up idiot she doesn't need to know that we are godless heathens
well adult party wasn't a long party it aired from june 26 2003 till july 24th 2003 yup just as fast
as it came it went but at whose fault was the show not as well received due to them pushing further
cartoon limits was it another case of chris felucci not being able to cooperate with the
network as well and not turn in the shows on time network executives complain about everything did
the whole cartoons for adult man thing not work as expected surprisingly it was a bit of all of that
chris falluci was trying to push boundaries set for him and his team trying to get away with more
risky writing and themes that the network and tv sensors were already displeased with causing halts
in production as they would have to rework rewrite or just plan out skip certain episodes from being
put on the air only three of the six ordered episodes ever made it to air they were placed
on spike tv's animation block with other adult male focused shows like stripper ella and gary
the rat yeah so uh some some great quality company there and again after three episodes not only did
the show stop airing but the whole animation block was put on hold leaving three more hidden
episodes of adult party cartoon to not see the light of day until the dvd had a release in july
of 2006. there was a plan in place to resume the animation block in 2004 and to air the remaining
episodes of the show but unfortunately that never came to be and this was the end of ren and stimpy
aside from the cult following of at least the original show which easily had some of the most
reruns showing on tv sporadically but how did the fans of the original series enjoy adult party did
the elise get their fix their fill whatever they were looking for looks pretty good all right
okay to say a tall party cartoon was beloved by fans maybe one of the biggest lies ever told an
animation fandom it seemed to mimic really well the look and feel of the original ren and stimpy
series with the animation specifically looking and feeling more fluid than ever but just because
the animations had advancements over time did that make it good well no it sometimes made it
visually interesting but other than that the show lacked full-on substance which we will talk about
here in just a second but this was only one of the problems facing the show hardcore fans and critics
heavily panned this show for its vile nature and lack of what made the original series special
the adventures the characters everything was fundamentally altered and with only the first
three episodes airing on tv to be watched and reviewed before being pulled from circulation
provided enough reasoning that there was no need to see any more of that with headlines and
reviews saying that chris falluci ruined his own show worst 2000's animated show ever the misfire
that was ren and stimpy adult party cartoon and many many many more and that's literally only
cracking the surface this show single-handedly stopped the animation block on spite tv from
continuing and when the dvd came out years later showing the uncut final three episodes those were
pegged as even worse than the previous three aired offerings suffice to say that adult party
cartoon was not a well-liked show amongst any of the old fandom and didn't pull any new fandom
in what didn't everyone like about it though what made this show public enemy number one and
what does it say about the scope of animation specifically for an older audience at the time
stimpy a house with a doorbell we've really made it wren
to say the show didn't live up to the expectations is an easy scapegoat to say something is
inherently bad but adult party cartoon failed for far worse and legitimate reasons now gross out
humor slapstick humor and crude humor are not bad things it's all about the writing that goes into
it to craft it properly like the original series the show seemed to focus more on the in-your-face
over-the-top crass dialogue mixing with extremely grotesque visuals at times the show would either
be as over-the-top violent for no reason just pure torture portrayed on the screen with almost
no explanation at other times well majority if i'm being quite frank focused on overtly showing
as much skin as possible the original three aired episodes had their fair share of this going on but
the back three the final three the three that were on the dvd push beyond these tv sensor boundaries
creating what may be the most self-sabotaging career halting efforts i have ever seen
every aspect of what was already wrong with the first three episodes is amplified tenfold here
with less plot more over the top nonsense violence disgusting gross out visuals so disgusting in fact
i can't show you majority of them in this video plus the amount of nonsensical nudity
to the point where you think this is made by someone not affiliated with the show at all
made for another specific website it's that bad and just for a little cherry on top
of all that the dialogue written the shoehorn vulgarity unfunny messed up jokes and innuendos
are what elevates this to one of the biggest missteps in animation history the wrong way
to do a spin-off the wrong way to treat your characters and the wrong way to
treat your fan base in what feels like you are purposely trying to hurt them why is stimpy why
there there now i know it hurts why does it hurt me you need to be locked up away from decent
normal people what kind of a lunatic are you you just walk up to strangers on the street and tell
them hey mister you want to hear some sick stories of my twisted youth adult party cartoon felt like
it forgot what made ren and stimpy special why was the original show beloved but the new series hated
even while having the original creator back on board i think the answer lies in exactly
everything we've discussed today what we've seen a person who wouldn't compromise his own vision
fired off of his own show extremely early on given a green light a decade later to create it
again but for a little bit of an older audience yet again facing the same issues was this the
real version of what he wanted ren and stimpy to be all along or is this a tactile response a way
to stick it to the same company that's scoring the creator before a way to get even essentially it's
really hard to say the show doesn't have much to say about it either in fact it doesn't have much
to say about anything at all there was one final episode of ren and stimpy adult party cartoon left
that was never produced it probably would have ended up straight to dvd entitled life sucks and
you know what i think that was what adult party cartoon fully portrayed to us a disgusting dirty
disaster of a show where all we see was bad things happening to every character a bunch of nonsense
for 20 to 30 minutes on screen just to make you feel bad maybe this is a case of a party that
needed to end before it started boy what a waste of time the original ren and stimpy show was a
testament to old nickelodeon in fact i believe it helped usher in a lot of the more grotesque humor
found in a lot of nickelodeon shows later on and it's fine to have dark humor or innuendos or even
be a little bit grotesque here and there it's all about putting it together properly and presenting
in a manner that makes sense for the show don't make the show exist just to portray all this stuff
on screen and i can happily say i never want to watch this show again in my life but how do you
feel about ren and stimpy adult party cartoon did you even know this was a thing that existed and i
wouldn't blame you if you didn't it almost feels like viacom's dirty little secret let me know
