"Perfect"

By BDutch94, Apr 11, 2011

This was one of my favorite episodes "old west" was one of the funniest R&S episodes. The stupid sherrifs are the funniest part of the episode they are ignorant and dont even know what it means. In the end they cant even hang Ren or Stimpy because Ren is to light ans Stimpy aint got a neck.on the other hand i didnt really like rubber nipple salesman it wasnt that funny it was really stupid i thought except for the whole horse bit where he wanted to kill ren and stimpy and the walrus wanted help. I liked most of the episodemoreless

Ren and Stimpy go door to door selling nipples. But there's trouble on the horizon! The stupid Nickelodeon executives change "nipples" to "rubber nipples"! Can Ren and Stimpy still pull off a hilarious episode?moreless

Out West: Ren and Stimpy are villains in the old west.

Rubber Nipple Salesmen: In one of the greatest episodes of all time, Ren and Stimpy are selling rubber nipples to weird people such as a fire chief, Mr. Horse, a married couple, and ME! Okay, not me. I'd still like some rubber nipples, though. Anyway, Mr. Horse says some things that somehow got past the Nickelodeon standards and practices, and the fire chief has a shovel for some reason. Where'd he get that shovel, anyway? The Circus Midget Protection Agency? That's where I got this computer. I use it to send viruses to the laptops of circus midgets!moreless

- Ewalt: Ain't that the ugliest horse, ever I did see! Abner: Hey...that's no horse. That's my wife! (to Ren and Stimpy) You boys can keep her. Just remember to feed her and brush her every day. ('She'll be riding six white horses when she comes,' plays in the background as Ren and Stimpy ride Abner's wife into the distance)
  EDIT SHARE
- (Ren and Stimpy just 'stole' Mr. Horse and he takes them to the sheriff's office) Mr. Horse: Hey boss. These fellas just stole me and... well sir, I don't like it! (Abner and Ewalt, the town sheriffs, just sit there clueless while the Jeopardy theme is playing) Mr. Horse: THEY'RE HORSE THIEVES, YOU MORONS!
  EDIT SHARE
- Stimpy: Hey, Ren, this horse reminds me of your Uncle Eddie. Ren: Why is that? Stimpy: Because he's big and stinky. Ren: Hey, you shouldn't say mean things like that! Didn't you ever consider that this horse might have feelings?
  EDIT SHARE
- (Ren and Stimpy try to sell rubber nipples with no luck so far. They ring Mr. Horse's doorbell. He answers the door cautiously) Mr. Horse: Do I know you? Ren: I don't think so. Would you like to look at some fine rubber nipples? Mr. Horse: Did my wife send you? Ren: No sir, but you look like you could really use some rubber nipples. (Mr. Horse comes out covered with rubber clothing) Mr. Horse: How do I know you're not from the FBI? Ren: Sir, I can assure you we're only salsemen! Mr Horse: (snaps) Okay, so I made a mistake! ONE MISTAKE! Can't a man start over?! (Stimpy nods nervously) Mr. Horse: Do I have to keep on paying?! HUH?! Maybe I should make another mistake! Maybe two more! Ren: (nervously) Please sir, I think one mistake is plenty! Just let us show you what's inside! Mr. Horse: (raises arms) Don't do it, man! I'm not armed! Ren: We really just want to sell you some rubber nipples! See! (he shows Mr. Horse one, then he calms down) Mr. Horse: Oh! It is a nipple!(laughs) Oh, what you must think of me! (smiles) Mr. Horse: Forget everything I said. So, nipples huh? (pauses) No sir, I don't think I have any use for rubber nipples. (pauses, then snaps again.) Tell ya what, though!(grabs something from his house) Do ya have any rubber walrus protectors? Walrus: (whispers) Call the police!
  EDIT SHARE
- Stimpy: I have a dream, I believe that someday everyone, everywhere, will know the wonders of my nipples!

NOTES (9)
ADD NOTES
- Instead of 'Rubber Nipples' the name was originally just going to be 'Nipples'. Nickelodeon said no, so Spumco asked Nickelodeon if they could have a voice over say "Rubber" but they rejected.
  EDIT SHARE
- 'Out West' was the first aired episode of Ren and Stimpy to use a digital ink-and-paint process in the animation production. The real first episode to use digital ink-and-paint was the infamous banned episode 'Man's Best Friend', which was originally going to air the month before this episode. Later occasional Spumco and Games-produced episodes would use digital ink-and-paint, and eventually all episodes of Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon would be animated this way.
  EDIT SHARE
- The 'Hanging Song' from 'Out West' was cut from the UK Ren and Stimpy DVD since the British Board of Film Classifacation claim that Ren and Stimpy is for kids.
  EDIT SHARE
- On the Season 1 and 2 DVD, 'Rubber Nipple Salesman' airs with 'Ren's Toothache'.
  EDIT SHARE
- 'Out West' is the first Ren and Stimpy episode to not use the familiar classic KPM/Associated Production Music stock music cues. Instead, it uses various Western incidental music, most likely taken from another music library.
  EDIT SHARE
- 'Out West' aired completely unedited when broadcast on TNN.
  EDIT SHARE
- Nick had second thoughts about airing 'Rubber Nipple Salesmen' for using the word "Nipple" but eventually let it slide.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Nick reran 'Out West' they edited out Ren's confession, "I polished my boots with your tongue." In response Stimpy would say coyly, "I wasn't exactly asleep!" Originally it was a reference to Ren's saddle soars.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the last episode produced by John Kricfalusi and Spümco. The team was fired after season two.
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Sheriff Abner and Deputy Ewalt look very similar to the villians in the classic Droopy cartoon 'Deputy Droopy'.
  EDIT SHARE
- The riding-off-on-bulls ending of 'Rubber Nipple Salesman' is a parody of the ending of the Three Stooges classic 'A Pain In The Pullman'.
  EDIT SHARE
- The stock music used during the 'Rubber Walrus Protectors' sequence is from the end credits of Night Of The Living Dead (1968), which itself is stock music taken from the movie Teenagers From Outer Space.
