“Ren & Stimpy” Bringing Their Bizarre Gross-Out Humor to Comedy Central!
Nickelodeon’s “The Ren & Stimpy Show” was the pinnacle of many of our youths, bringing adult-themed hysterical gross-out humor to children that probably shouldn’t have been watching.
Now, almost 30 years later, Comedy Central is resurrecting the series as part of a major push into adult animation, reports Deadline.
The series, boasting with puss, boogers, and many, many butts, even pre-dates and set the stage for the success of MTV’s “Beavis and Butt-Head”, which is also getting a reboot at Comedy Central from Mike Judge.

The series, created by John Kricfalusi, followed the adventures of title characters Ren, an emotionally unstable Chihuahua, and Stimpy, a good-natured yet dimwitted cat. It aired for five seasons on Nickelodeon, ending in December 1995. The following year, the series had a run on MTV.
“Happy Happy Joy Joy”, a documentary on “The Ren & Stimpy Show”, co-directed by Ron Cicero and Kimo Easterwood, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, adds the site.

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
