Big Baby Scam

Ren and Stimpy pretend to be babies in order to live a better life.

Dog Show

George Liquor enters the duo into a dog show (even though Stimpy's a cat).

Big Baby Scam contains examples of...

  • Bowdlerise: The "family bath" scene has been cut since its premiere.
    • Mr. Pipe scraping Ren against his stubble has been removed from the DVD version.
  • Call-Back: One shot shows Mr. Pipe with rubber nipples on his kneecaps.
  • Exact Words: When the babies blew their cover, Ren demands his fifty back. So they gave him fifty... punches in the gut.
  • Goo Goo Getup: Ren and Stimpy exploit the benefits of living as babies by switching lives with a pair of babies, which of course includes wearing diapers.
  • Shout-Out: Old Man Hunger whistling "In the Hall of the Mountain King" as he bathes with Ren and Stimpy was likely a nod to M, which starred Peter Lorre, who was the basis for Ren's voice.

Dog Show contains examples of...

  • Bowdlerise: On Nick, George's introduction was altered to remove his name appearing on-screen and a record-scratch sound-effect was played over "Liquor" (either because Nick didn't like the alcohol reference or because it sounded too much like "lick her").
  • Driven to Suicide: The poodle, who can't help his own size.
  • Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Mr. Horse says this to the poodle as he was getting hysterical.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Because "Man's Best Friend" was banned up until Adult Party Cartoon aired, George Liquor came off as a random owner for the duo in the original run of this episode.note
