History Characters / TheRenAndStimpyShow

-->Voiced by Jack Carter

* AdaptationalVillainy: He was hardly a nice guy in the original show, but ''Adult Party Cartoon'' ramps up his bad qualities while reducing or outright excising his good ones. He does regain more sincere moments of friendship towards Stimpy however, a redeeming quality that was often lost in the Games episodes.

* PsychopathicManchild: A total psychopath, and occasionally childish.

* BalefulPolymorph: Averted. He shows no angst over turning into a beaver-man.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* DirtyOldMan

* SeldomSeenSpecies: You don't see mudskippers that often in cartoons.

* AmbiguousDisorder: To say that Ren has a vague psychiatric and personality disorder might be a complete {{understatement}}. He is incredibly self-centered, hyperactive, histrionic, {{narcissist}}ic, egotistical, moody, emotionally explosive, a complete lunatic when he has shown himself to be one, and various episodes seem to imply that he at least has repressed ''homicidal tendencies'' towards Stimpy. On the other hand, he is also incredibly neurotic, and on more than one occasion has had moments where he is emotionally vulnerable.

* AmbiguousDisorder: A few lines from "Happy Happy Joy Joy" imply that he may be schizophrenic.

* CryCute:
** In "Stimpy's Fan Club" when admitting to Stimpy that all he wants is to be loved by someone.
** In "Ren's Toothache" after all his teeth were ruined.
** Did this in "Fake Dad" while saying goodbye to Kowalski.
** Does this in "Son Of Stimpy" when Stimpy left him to look for his [[ItMakesSenseInContext sentient fart-son.]]

* VerbalTic: Pronouncing his i's as long ee's, as in "You fat bloated ''eediot!''" and "What ees it, man?!"

* {{Jerkass}}: Let's count the ways; he's [[HolierThanThou boorish, arrogant]], overzealously imposes his values on others, gaslights his pets and bullies them to assert his authority over them, and is obnoxiously nationalistic and conservative.

* ButtBrand: Happens ''twice'', once in "The Cat That Laid the Golden Hairball" and once in the music video for Music/CatHairballs. Both times it's because Stimpy gets overworked and passes out on a conveyor belt, resulting in Ren stamping Stimpy on the butt.

* {{Gasshole}}

* NiceHat: Wears a traditional Scottish cap.

* NiceHat: Wears a green hat with a feather in it.

* NiceHat: He wears a derby.

* SanitySlippage: There are too many examples of him going off the deep end, but the most infamous examples are "Stimpy's Fanclub" (where he goes crazy out of jealousy at Stimpy being more loved by the fans than he is), "Space Madness" (where he loses his sanity over being stuck in space with only Stimpy for company), "Aloha Hoek" (where he loses it after being stranded on an island), and "Hermit Ren" (where he tries living alone in a cave and ends up cracking due to starving for company with Stimpy's absence). "Ren Needs Help" turns this UpToEleven.

* TooDumbToLive: While he has plenty of moments of this, this is taken UpToEleven in ''Blazing Entrails'' where he becomes so dumb that he inflicts bodily harm on himself and Ren has to seek medical help for it. In ''Terminal Stimpy'', he lost all but one of his [[CatsHaveNineLives nine lives]] ([[spoiler:and his ninth life at the end of the episode]]) because of his stupidity.

* Jerkass: Has a HairTriggerTemper, [[{{BadPeopleAbuseAnimals}} finds humor in beating up his dog]] and tears up the fire chief's son's favorite pair of underwear.

* TheSociopath: Although he wouldn't qualify as such in the first show due to his moments of emotional vulnerability, [[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon "Adult Party Cartoon"]] highlights certain sociopathic traits in him. He frequently verbally and emotionally abuses Stimpy, even more so than in the previous show, and seems to enjoy doing as much harm as he can. He is also incredibly self-centered, {{sadist}}ic, and sexually promiscuous, traits very common in sociopaths.

* TheSociopath: Although he wouldn't qualify as such in the first show due to his moments of emotional vulnerability, the sequel highlights certain sociopathic traits in him. He frequently verbally and emotionally abuses Stimpy, even more so than in the previous show, and seems to enjoy doing as much harm as he can. He is also incredibly self-centered, {{sadist}}ic, and sexually promiscuous, traits very common in sociopaths.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He is a really, really messed up individual. He lacks empathy, has little impulse control, is easily angered, physically and emotionally abuses his best friend, and has frequent emotional breakdowns.

* SociopathicHero: He's considered a hero and is a psychopathic jerk.

** It is implied that his life growing up was anything but sane; one scene shows Ren's father intending to give Ren a pistol to kill a frog with, but his mother quickly intervenes....and passes Ren a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] instead.

* ItsPronouncedTroPay: His first line in the pilot.
--> That's Höek, you eediot! NOT ''HOKE!''

* MixedAncestry: This is a possibility since he has a vague Spanish accent and a German last name. See the Headscratchers page for more information on this (it is speculated that Ren's mom is Spanish and his dad is German, and that Ren came out Spanish.)

[[folder: Stimpson J. Cat (Stimpy)]]

[[folder: Powdered Toastman]]

* TenMinuteRetirement: In "Waffle Woman Vs. Powdered Toastman" after failing Little Johnny.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Ren asking "Where's my dinner?" was only used once in the Spumco era ("Marooned"), however, in the Games era episode "Who's Stupid Now?", it's treated like a catchphrase.
