Kricfalusi complained about Nickelodeon executives requesting for Ren to have "a softer side".īill Wray said that Ren was his favorite character to write for Wray described Ren as "fun" because "you can make him mean". In the pilot, Pierre Decelles provided Ren's signature diabolical laughter, while West performed Ren's maniacal laugh in the series. Kricfalusi would return for the Spike TV episodes and unaired episodes of The Ren and Stimpy Show. West would, however, take over Ren's voice after Nickelodeon fired Kricfalusi. Billy West said that he auditioned to play Ren the creators of the series believed that having West voice Ren and Stimpy would give him too large of a workload. Kricfalusi originally voiced Ren in a manner that he describes as "a bad imitation of Peter Lorre". Andy Meisler of The New York Times described Ren as "adventurous", "intelligent", and "emotionally brittle". On some occasions, Ren "lost his mind" in a "cumulative process", resulting in Ren becoming, in Goodman's words, a "screaming klaxon, neon-pink eyes dilating into twin novae inches above his jagged, monolithic teeth". Toon" Goodman of Animation World Magazine described Ren as "scrawny", "dyspeptic", and "violently psychotic". Hoëk (voiced by John Kricfalusi in Seasons 1–2 and Adult Party Cartoon, Billy West in Seasons 3–5 and most laughter and screaming, and Chris Edgerly in Nicktoons MLB) is a scrawny " Asthma- Hound" Chihuahua with a fairly long, rat-like, pink tail (which constantly disappears due to the character's animation limits) and tan fur. But at least they'll always have Log.Main article: Ren and Stimpy (characters) Ren Höek So there's, unfortunately, no Happy Happy Joy Joy for Ren and Stimpy this time around. After a disastrous - and, frankly, disturbing display of the pair's "superpowers" - Spider-Man swings away, seemingly trying to hold back vomit. The story wraps with the titular characters thanking Spidey for stopping by to boost the book's sales (which actually had a 44-issue run) and asking to join him on future Marvel adventures, with Ren rocking a Punisher outfit and Stimpy having affixed utensils to his fists like a makeshift Wolverine. That is until PTM pulls from his shorts a can of Powdered Toast, and downs it Popeye-style to regain his strength and put Dough-Naught down for good. Dough-Naught, and after taking a couple blows from a lead pipe, the web-slinger seems out of commission. But this leaves Spider-Man alone against the dreaded Dr. A conveniently located milk truck allows Spidey to put PTM down for good since everyone knows he can't stay crunchy in milk. "And that's the way the toasty crumbles! Any last words before you go bready-bye?" (we warned you about the puns). "Looks like all you need was a little kneading," Spider-Man quips as he trounces PTM. The two eventually face off, with Dough-Naught upping PTM's "Toastosterone" levels to take on the wall-crawler.Īn especially ridiculous fight ensues, which includes Powdered Toast Man's signature attacks like launching corrosive breadcrumbs through armpit farts or hurling razor-sharp bread slices like they were Batarangs. Related: The Secret History Of Nickelodeon CartoonsĪfter arriving at the office of "The Commish," Spider-Man is informed that Dough-Naught has injected Powdered Toast Man with a yeast infection, causing him to rampage through the city, with the Commish saying he's been turned into a "Cereal Offender" (puns aplenty in this one). After somehow using his web-shooters to provide our title characters with their breakfast, Spidey receives a distress call through PTM's spare pair of Elasti-Shorts (that he'd apparently adorned at some point) and zips off to investigate. Spider-Man is, "just filling in," he explains, as PTM has been mind-controlled by the evil genius Dr. "Stimpy" Cat one morning find themselves out of powdered toast, the breakfast food that "tastes just like sawdust" (it's a thing in the R&S universe, just roll with it). Stimpy naturally calls on the series' hero Powdered Toast Man to replenish their supply, but to their surprise, it's not the Bread-Head, that arrives, but instead the Web-Head.
