'''Original air date:''' 11/7/1992

->'''Ren:''' ''Yooouuuuu!!!'' Both of ''youuuuuuuuuuu''. Oh, what I'm going to do to ''you''. I'm so ANGRY! First, I'm gonna tear your lips out. Yeah, that's what I'M gonna do. And THEN, I'm gonna... ''GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT!!!!'' ''Yeeahhh''... that's what I'M gonna do.\\
'''Stimpy:''' We don't like this, Ren\\
'''Sven:''' ''Ja''. You scaring us.\\
'''Ren:''' Good. You're scared, huh? Next, I'm gonna... ''TEAR'' your arms out of the sockets! And you wanna know what else? [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I'm gonna HIT ya.]] And you're gonna ''falllllllll''. And I'm gonna look down. ''And I'm gonna laugh.''
-->-- Ren's infamous ToThePain monologue.

"Sven Hoek" is the fourth episode of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. It is the first to be finished after [[Creator/JohnKricfalusi John K.]] was fired in the series' original run.

Stimpy's stupidity has really started to get on Ren's nerves. He anticipates a fruitful visit from his intellectual cousin Sven, but Sven turns out to be as dumb as Stimpy. Stimpy and Sven immediately become the best of friends, sharing their collections of spit and nose goblins, and revealing that they're both members of the Loyal Order of Stupids. This serves to anger Ren even more.

Ren leaves for work, and Stimpy and Sven play seek-and-hide and spend time in Stimpy's litterbox. Later, they fight the boredom of a rainy day by playing "the funnest game in the whole wide world", [[SchmuckBait "Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence"]]. Ren comes home to find the house destroyed, and his collections of opera records, incurable diseases and dinosaur droppings ruined. Pushed beyond any level of rationality, Ren confronts Stimpy and Sven, outlining the horrible and violent things he has in store for them, only to break momentarily to take a whiz.

Ren discovers Stimpy and Sven's board game, and, to drive his anger home, [[ThrewMyBikeOnTheRoof whizzes on the electric fence]]. The three of them are sent directly to [[FireandBrimstoneHell Hell]] by the resulting electrical explosion, where {{Satan}} greets them with the cheerful [[FingerWag admonishment]] "So, you whizzed on the electric fence, didn't ya?"

Three bumpers air to bring it up to standard length: A new Log commercial promoting new products, a Gritty Kitty litter commercial featuring some of the fabulous prizes waiting inside each bag, and a new "What Will We Do Til Then?" bumper where Stimpy inflates himself like a balloon.

!!Tropes:
* AnimationBump: Carbunkle animated this episode.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After threatening to rip off their lips, gouge out their eyes, and tear their arms off, Ren finishes his rant by threatening to push Stimpy and Sven over and laugh at them.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Ren's collection of "incurable diseases". None of the three we see are incurable, and one of them, Scabies, isn't even a disease, but a skin inflammation caused by parasites.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Ren's dinosaur droppings are labelled as Paleozoic, rather than Mesozoic.
* {{Balloonacy}}: One of the bumpers has Ren suggest Stimpy inflate like a balloon, which they proceed to do. Then, for no apparent reason, Ren pops Stimpy like a balloon, leaving their deflated remains all over the place.
* BigRedDevil: A George Liquor-esque version of this greets Ren, Stimpy, and Sven upon arriving in Hell after being killed from Ren whizzing on the electric fence board game, giving Ren a cheerful FingerWag.
--> '''Satan:''' So, you whizzed on the electric fence, didn't ya?
** Originally, the devil was actually going to be George Liquor himself in a devil costume, but since Nickelodeon disliked the character, [[{{Bowdlerise}} he was changed into a traditional big red Satan]], but still retained George's facial features and Michael Pataki's voice.
* {{Bowdlerization}}: Stimpy and Sven playing circus in the closet (with Stimpy declaring that he's a sword swallower) and many of Ren's gruesome threats to Stimpy and Sven were cut by Nickelodeon, and BBC Two in the UK. [[BetteronDVD The DVD reinstates all of it.]]
** Originally, "Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence" was supposed to be called "Don't ''Pee'' on the Electric Fence". Nickelodeon objected to "pee" (though pretty much everyone agreed that "whiz" was funnier).
** Also, the scenes where Stimpy and Sven roll the dice for their game and when Ren threatens to tear their arms out were shortened, possibly for timing purposes (though the latter most likely to lessen the frightening mental image).
* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: Stimpy and Sven are lodge brothers from the Loyal Order of Stupids, who apparently wear inflated rubber gloves over their heads.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Ren collects such things as coprolites, opera records and samples of "rare incurable diseases".
* ConcussionsGetYouHigh: Stimpy excuses himself because "It's time for my appointment". He walks over to a door in the wall, inserts a quarter, and the door lifts to reveal a horse. The horse kicks him in the head, sending him flying. His reaction to this is almost orgasmic.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Stimpy and Sven compare the sizes of their...brains, with Sven awestruck at the size of Stimpy's and Stimpy tittering shyly and eagerly agreeing to see Sven's.
* EverybodyDiesEnding: This marks the first instance of Ren and Stimpy dying in a non-"Space Madness" episode; Ren's whizzing on the electric fence results in a massive explosion that kills him, Stimpy, and Sven, and they end up in Hell.
* EverythingExplodesEnding: Ren blows up the house after taking a whiz on Stimpy's board game, killing them and sending them to Hell.
* ExcrementStatement: "Oh, ya like the game! Then how do you like ''thees?!''"
* EyeScream: One of Ren's violent threats.
* FictionalBoardGame: Sven and Stimpy play a board game called ''Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence''. The game has a real electrified fence on the board which is powered by household line voltage. Before finding it, they look at other games with names like ''Parcheesy'', ''Monotony'' and ''Misery Date''.
* FingerWag: Satan gives one to Ren as he scolds him for whizzing on the electric fence.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: As noted, the ending takes place here, complete with a BigRedDevil.
* FunnyForeigner: Sven, who was intentionally created as an ignorant parody of Nordic culture.
* IHitYouYouHitTheGround: “I’m gonna hit ya... and you’re gonna faaallll...”
* IncestSubtext: Ren and Sven were born in the same litter, despite being cousins.
* InherentlyFunnyWord: "Whiz."
* IWillTearYourArmsOff: One of Ren's violent threats.
* LiteralMetaphor: When Ren whizzes on Stimpy's copy of "Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence", the resulting short circuit blows him, Stimpy and Sven [[FireAndBrimstoneHell to Hell]] in a quite literal sense.
* MoodWhiplash: "But first...''first''.. I gotta take a whiz!"
* PopGoesTheHuman: In the bumper at the end of the episode. Stimpy blows up like a balloon at Ren's suggestion. Ren proceeds to puncture Stimpy with a needle.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "Don't you go anywhere! You... Stay... Right... Here. Right... On... This... Spot. I'll be back!"
* RecycledAnimation: Stimpy showing off his Magic Nose Goblins is reused from an earlier bumper.
** The three bumpers on this episode all recycle animation from previous episodes (including the Log and Muddy Mudskipper songs).
* SpoofAesop: Remember, kids, don’t whiz on the electric fence.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: A seething-with-rage Ren declares "I'm so angry" before launching into his ToThePain speech.
* ThrewMyBikeOnTheRoof: Ren's whizzing on the game board. As noted, he failed to learn a couple of important facts about said game before doing so.
* ToThePain: Ren's tirade.
* TranquilFury: Ren is eerily calm during his ToThePain tirade.
