Stimpy's Fan Club (The Ren & Stimpy Show)

Stimpy's Fan Club is the 16th episode of the second season of The Ren & Stimpy Show. It is also a 22-minute episode, as opposed to eleven minutes.

Plot
When Stimpy receives the adoration of many fans, Ren becomes jealous, so Stimpy makes him the president of Stimpy's fan club.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The plot of the episode is quite naive, since Ren and Stimpy were making a hit in the 90's by Nickelodeon and also making an episode where Ren and Stimpy receive letters full of love from the fans is very cool and also very good.
 * 2) Speaking of the fan letters, because of the popularity of Stimpy among the fans and receives a lot of letters, Ren ends up not even receiving a letter from the fans, which makes him depressed, but Stimpy makes him the president of his fan club to cheer him up.
 * 3) Although Ren had to respond to fan letters with insults, Ren being the president of Stimpy's fan club is nice and has a variety of funny scenes.
 * 4) Spawned memorable moments such as the scene when Ren takes the control of the entire United States and blows up half the world.
 * 5) Two lines:
 * 6) * "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME!? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH!?"
 * 7) * "Yeah sure... Everybody loves you! People ALWAYS love the stupid one. But nobody ever loves the jerk... everybody hates me!!"
 * 8) Top notch animation and voice acting from John Kricfalusi and Billy West.
 * 9) This episode is the most considered the scariest episode of the cartoon, due to the controversial scene where Ren tries to murder and strangle Stimpy in his sleep with his hands, which fortunately ends up not doing.
 * 10) The ending is sweet with Ren finally deservedly receives a letter, which ends up revealing that the letter was from Stimpy. With Ren breaking down crying remorsefully while learning a lesson, Stimpy hugging and comforting him is a really nice touch. Albeit, other people (plus Mr. Horse) are shown to be staring at the two just like in "Nurse Stimpy".

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Ren's Threatening Hands.jpg Granted, his murder attempt was because of the fact he was getting jealous of Stimpy for having so many fans. But even then, that's no excuse to try and kill someone like that. Thankfully, he failed and came up with a different plan instead.
 * 2) Like the episode Sven Höek (also from Season 2), unfortunately due of the scene when Ren tries to strangle and murder Stimpy, this episode is no longer shown on American TV since 2011, but was also banned in some countries.

Reception
This episode is one of the most famous episodes of the series, mainly for the climatic scene in which Ren tries to murder Stimpy in his sleep, due to the realistic depiction of sanity slippage, the horrifying imagery, and the shot of Ren screaming and being consumed by the fires of hell.

Trivia

 * The following week after the episode aired, Nickelodeon received a lot of letters from real children, telling Ren that they loved him very much.
 * The scene of Ren's fantasy of being the president of the fan club, with the his vision being the president of the United States, saying WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME?! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH!? and hitting a big red button (labeled as "The Button") that destroys the region of Oceania and laughs maniacally became an internet meme.
