The second episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''.

'''Robin Hoek'''

Ren is tired, but Stimpy insists on a story. So he tells his own version of the story of ''Robin Hood'' with Ren as "Robin Hoek" and Stimpy as... everyone else.

'''Nurse Stimpy'''

Ren gets sick with some disease, and Stimpy works day and night to help him. By the end, Ren is cured, but Stimpy catches the disease instead and so Nurse Ren vows vengeance on all the suffering and icky-tasting medicine he'd been put through.

!!''Robin Hoek'' provides examples of:
* AllJustADream: Subverted, much to Ren's horror, when he sees Stimpy dressed as Maid Moron in bed next to him in the ending.
* EarlyBirdCameo: From George Liquor as the Sherriff of Dodge City.
* LemonyNarrator: Stimpy, who just seems to be making things up as he goes along or can't even remember what happens in the story.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: An in-universe example with Ren.
* MonsterInTheMoat: Stimpy's story has Robin Hoek (Ren) storming the Sheriff of Dodge City's castle and swimming through a moat that's filled with man-eating monks.
* OverlyLongGag: Stimpy running back and forth across the countryside to play multiple character roles, set to the tune of Johann Strauss' "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka".
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Ren screams like this awake from his nightmare.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: In-story Stimpy, who has to high-tail it back and forth across the countryside playing every other role.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: George Liquor (as the Sheriff) talks like this when he's defeated by Ren.
-->'''George Liquor''': [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe Thou hast besquirted me, O leotarded one!]] ''(falls over backwards, then raises his head)'' The maiden be thine! ''(passes out)''


!!''Nurse Stimpy'' provides examples of:
* CaretakerReversal: Ren starts "taking care" of Stimpy after his health recovers and Stimpy gets ill.
* HourglassPlot: Ren has gotten sick and Stimpy takes it upon himself to nurse him back to health. After enduring Stimpy's well-meaning but humiliating treatments throughout the entire episode, Ren is healthy again, but Stimpy has spent so much time watching over Ren that now ''he'' is sick, and Ren is [[TheDogBitesBack all too happy to return the favor Stimpy gave him]].
* LuckyCharmsTitle: In place of the "r" in "Nurse" is the "℞" symbol.
* ShoutOut: When Stimpy is taking Ren to the bathroom for his sponge bath, Stimpy starts nonsense singing similar to [[Film/TheThreeStooges Curly]].
* SickEpisode: Ren is sick and is at Stimpy's care for the duration of the episode. In the end, Ren has recovered and vows to "take care" of a sick Stimpy.
* UndyingLoyalty: Poor Stimpy. Especially when Ren has a (not?) relapse[[note]]It may just be the shock of finding out that his sponge bath made the front-page headlines.[[/note]], he works like mad to get him better.
* WorstNewsJudgementEver: "Ren Hoek takes bubbly sponge bath"?![[note]]"Hundreds witness soapy scenario!"[[/note]] It made the front page ''and'' was considered an "Extra!"
