The boys are back...

Oh mercy. Ren & Stimpy are back in fresh new episodes that are most definitely rated R - very R.
You probably know already if this is for you - there's not much middle ground when it comes to this show, it's a love it or loathe it situation for most. (And if you dislike Ren Hoek & co., there's no reason to read any further).
For those who mourned the passing of TV's most bizarre show (more bizarre than all the imitators, by the way - though R&S was obviously a huge inspiration to animators and comedy writers, there was something deeply twisted going on that's hard to quantify and harder to imitate), this one's for you. Two discs of uber-twisted adventures, complete with topless beach-babes, tumescent chihuahua parts, and one terribly tortured frog. And what seems like hours of interviews and talking-head stuff -- interesting at first, but ultimately interminable. The producers seem to get that as well, with constant titles telling you which button to press to reach the Good Stuff.
And the Good Stuff is great; who knew Ren could knock Stimpy up, even after it was attempted by mormons, the postman, and a crew of "strapping young boy scouts"? You'll learn about Ren's troubled childhood and see Stimpy's stinky love-child. You'll see jiggly cartoon bosoms and one seriously clogged toilet.
Standouts here are "Stimpy's Pregnant", "Ren Seeks Help" and the amazing "Naked Beach Frenzy". I've shown the latter to several friends, just to watch the spasms of freaked-out laughter at the words "shampoo master". If a single moment can summarize years of whacked-out creative output, Stimpy's call of "shampoo master" may be the ultimate swan song for this truly insane series. Highly recommended.
