From The Spümcø Ren & Stimpy Archive.

Ren's Toothache
Original Production Number-RS5-2a
Original Air Date- August 22, 1992

Director- John K.
Story- Bob Camp and John K.
Storyboard- Chris Reccardi

Voice Cast-
-John K. (as Ren)
-Billy West (as Stimpy and The Flies)
-Vincent Waller (as The Tooth Beaver)

Synopsis-
Ren ridicules Stimpy for brushing his teeth. Ren believes brushing is a waste of time, untill a massive toothache cripples him with pain. Stimpy explains why toothaches hurt so much: "Your nerve endings are the tastiest part of your body and your Tooth Beaver knows this." In a cross section of Ren's tooth we see the happy Tooth Beaver gnashing away at Ren's nerve endings. Ren eventually loses all his teeth and can only eat mush. His gum holes reek such a stench that it manages to disgust flies feasting on the poop in Stimpy's litter box.

Behind the Scenes Stuff-
The comment made by one of the flies: "Hey hey hey hey. We're trying to eat here!," was actually made by an irate patron of the Hollywood restaurant 'Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles' (yes, you read right!) who was trying to eat his lunch while John K. acted out a future R&S story for his dining companion, former Spümcø layout and storyboard artist Chris Reccardi.

Animation Services- Rough Draft Korea

Synopsis-
Ren & Stimpy go into buisness as door-to-door salesmen, peddling Stimpy's homemade rupper nipples. Ren attempts to sell the nipples to the fire captian, who whacks Ren with a shovel, flattening him, then apologizes...again, he thought they were circus midgets. Then they proceed to another house, where they incounter a very fetishistic and very paranoid Mr. Horse. "So I made a mitake, ONE mistake, can't a man start over?!" cries Mr. Horse. The answer is no -mistakes like he's made are punishable by electricution in many states. Finally Stimpy gets a chance to sell, and demonstrates the many unusual uses for rubber nipples to 'husband' and 'wife'.

Cuts made by Nick-
Ren & Stimpy weren't allowed to pay a visit to George Liqour's house and a potentially hilaious scene were George scales and guts Ren & Stimpy like fish was cut the minute Standards and Practices got wind of it. Nick execs were very nervous, right from the start, about any episode with the word 'nipple' in the title, but they finally let it slide.

Other Stuff-
The music played when the rubber nipple truck is moving is an instramental version of the 'Happy Happy Joy Joy' song.

<< Rubber Nipple Salesman had the scene with George Liquor edited out. >>

That scene was never animated.

[kiddiesunshine]

and isn't that the worst kind of censorship???

[PorkyandDaffy]

Dang, my timer ended too early, and I didn't record the end of RUBBER NIPPLE SALESMEN. Can somebody tell me everything that happened after Wife said to Husband "Do you want to sleep out in the yard?" That's where my VCR stopped.

It would be really cool if they showed the stuff that Nick cut out during the behind-the-scenes segments. Or if they aired the banned episodes.

<< Or if they aired the banned episodes >>

Well, "Man's Best Friend" is I believe the only episode that never made it to air. The Games crew did reportedly rework it, but it is a long legal story as to why that became a problem (anyone interested in knowing?).

Nickelodeon was always weird with some episodes. Most of us know the "Powdered Toast Man" controversy, but even that showed up on MTV once in a blue moon....so I don't know if that would be considered "banned." Other episodes such as "Out West" and "Dog Show" were briefly shelved but eventually came back.

I think the only other episodes Nick pulled entirely from their rotation were "A Visit to Anthony" and "Ren's Brain." Back when Nick had episode guides on their AOL forum around '95ish, those two were noticeably missing.
