YMMV / Ren & Stimpy 2x01 "In the Army"/"Powdered Toastman"

• Esoteric Happy Ending: "Powdered Toast Man" ends with PTM becoming President of the United States after saving the Pope; in office, he promptly burns the Constitution to start a fireplace (which was edited on American TV after it first aired) as he spends time with his lovely assistant.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The romantic tension between Powdered Toast Man and his implied-teenaged assistant unfortunately resembles how John Kricfalusi groomed Robyn Bird and Katie Rice. The fact that the character's secret identities are a clergyman and a Catholic schoolgirl, respectively, also comes off a lot grosser in light of the Catholic clergy sex abuse scandals of the 2000s.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: "Powdered Toast Man" got backlash due to the titular character burning the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights after being declared President, which was removed from reruns. Also in the episode, Powdered Toast Man saves the Pope; reruns later referred to him as simply "the man in the funny white hat," perhaps due to a similar outcry from Catholics.
