* AwesomeButImpractical: John's push for better animation on TV was [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned]], but short-sighted. He regularly put his artists through a sort of "animation boot camp," making them watch some of his favorite cartoons over and over and training them to draw to such minute specifications so that their layout and storyboard drawings will better match his specific vision, all on company time. His perfectionism on ''Ren and Stimpy'' resulted in few episodes actually seeing airtime, but they were hilarious and well-animated. Unfortunately, his employers didn't agree that it was a worthy investment of time and money for a weekly TV show to take an indefinite amount of time to be perfect.

* InsultBackfire: During the production of the episode "Sven Hoek", John got particularly livid about the backgrounds being done for the episode (even tearing them off the wall) and insulted the painters' work by calling it "candy cane lane." The painters shot back by creating a painting with candy canes stuck into Ren & Stimpy's butts and christening their department as "Candy Cane Lane." Upon seeing the painting, John merely stared, said "Fuck." and walked away.
