“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.

The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
