''Ren's Toothache''
Ren doesn't bother to brush his teeth at all, so his teeth fall out.
''Man's Best Friend''
George Liquor (American) buys Ren and Stimpy from a pet store and disciplines them in various ways.
!!''Ren's Toothache'' contains examples of...
* BreakTheHaughty: Ren.
* EvenTheRatsWontTouchIt: Ren's breath is so rancid even the flies flying around Stimpy's litter box find it disgusting.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The episode is called "Ren's Toothache", and it's about Ren having a toothache.
* MirrorCrackingUgly: The first time Ren smiles in the mirror.
* ToothFairy: Ren gets a visit from the Nerve Ending Fairy after he loses all his teeth. The Fairy, who looks like Ol' Man Hunger from the pilot episode, is unfortunately out of money, so he leaves Ren a ball of pocket lint instead.
* TheToothHurts: The title doesn't lie.
!!''Man's Best Friend contains examples of...
* ArtShift: When George first sees Ren and Stimpy, they are caricatured as a more realistic dog and cat.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: George's [[InsaneTrollLogic idea]] of disciplining Ren is to make him beg for discipline, then not give him any and, in fact, reward him for talking back.
* TheDogBitesBack: Literally! Stimpy won't hurt his beloved master when he asks to be attacked. Ren has no such reservations and gleefully beats George to a pulp.
* DrillSergeantNasty: George is seen in such an outfit the next morning.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Animator Bill Wray called this "an analogy of the mixed messages that parents give their children." To quote writer and story editor Will [=McRobb=], Liquor is akin to "a father who wants best for his children, not realizing that he is really abusing them."
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Ren beating George Liquor half to death with his prized beating oar.
* GainaxEnding: The episode ends with Ren, Stimpy, and George Liquor all dancing with lawn cigars in their mouths.
* HighPressureEmotion: UpToEleven. Rather than a tea kettle whistle, George's rage when Stimpy jumps on his couch is soundtracked by a jet turbine starting up.
* HitStop: Ren hitting George in the face with an oar, which spoofs ''Film/RagingBull''.
* InsaneTrollLogic: George believes that "discipline begets love," and that the only way to discipline his pets is to teach them how to misbehave, then yell at them for misbehaving. He tells them never to jump on the couch, then yells at them to jump on the couch just to show how mad he'll get if they do.
--> "Make me mad, or I'm gonna be ''really'' mad!!"
* IronicEcho: As Ren is beating up George Liquor, he repeats the latter's phrases ("Drop and give me 20!", "It's discipline that begets love!", and "You must learn your place!").
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown
** Ren's thrashing of Liquor, again.
** A rejected storyboard scene had ''Stimpy'', in a rare [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Crouching Moron Hidden]] BadassAdorable moment, beating him at Indian Leg Wrestling.
* RoadApples: The Lawn Cigar chew toys.
* SleepCute: Ren and Stimpy are first seen in this episode in the window of the pet store, asleep on top of each other. And it is ''adorable''.
