"Mediocre"

By Lazlo25, Dec 25, 2007

This is an example of an episode that gets terrible at first but gets okay at the end.

Ol' Blue Nose: Too irritating, and boring! Ren was a big jerk because he slapped Stimpy on the nose, because Stimpy used up all their money for a TV?! What the heck is with him?! He was very annoying in this episode. Hitting Stimpy on the nose was very very bad idea! Fortulay Stimpy starts singning from his nose that was hit. Also, this episode had too much Stimpy singning. Ren hitted Stimpy on the nose again, and the leaves Stimpy?! At the end, the nose learns a lesson but his performance was too lame. Why would Ren hit Stimpy on the nose again because of that bad thing Stimpy said. "That's my money you know". Didn't like that episode (and sorry Mark O'Hare, I think you made the episode less adequite).
EPISODE GRADE: D-

Stupid Sidekick Union: This episode got good until the autograph part! This episode is very special to stupid sidekicks but the ending became stupid. Stimpy finally works with Ren agian but Ren hast to pay Stimpy money for hitting him. HUH?! The last scene was weird too. At least the episode itself had good culture for stupid sidekicks, but it really explains how bad it is to quit for no reason, bad idea! Curse that strike! This episode had no happy ending!
EPISODE GRADE: C

I'm know speechless here. Games never can make classics.

FINAL GRADE: D+moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Ren: What are you gonna do, go work for Handle-Barbarian? "Handle-Barbarian" is a parody of the famous TV animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions, which was founded by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and was in business from 1957 to 1998. Several cartoon staff members working for theatrical studios would often leave to go work for H-B. John Kricfalusi (the original creator of Ren and Stimpy) used to work for Hanna-Barbera in the early-to-mid 1980s.
  EDIT SHARE
- Stimpy singing at a jail is a reference to Johnny Cash singing at the Folsom Prison.
  EDIT SHARE
- The songs are parodies of Frank Sinatra's. An example of this is 'Come Fry With Me' by Stimpy which is a parody of Sinatra's 'Come Fly With Me'.
