-->Stimpy: RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

-->"I don't care"...

* DeconstructiveParody: This episode was deliberately made by John as a stealth deconstruction of pathos scenes in movies, using a deliberately ludicrous and stupid plotline that's PlayedForDrama, just to show how easy it is to make people cry at a scene if you use the right staging and music tricks. He discusses this at length [[http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2007/04/funny-pathos-vs-cheap-trick-pathos.html in this post]] on his blog, ''Blog/JohnKStuff''

-->'''Stimpy''': Stinky...wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAAH!! '''''WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!!!'''''

* MadnessMantra: "I don't care..." and "He's real..."

-->Stimpy: Stiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnkyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Anyway, he can't find him anywhere, even after asking his [[CollectorOfTheStrange "magic]] [[{{Squick}} nose goblins"]]... and gets depressed for three years. After all this time, Ren fruitlessly tries to pull his best friend out of this depression, first suggesting TV[[note]]Namely, Stimpy's two favorite shows, "Commander Hoek and Cadet Stimpy", and "Muddy Mudskipper".[[/note]], then trying to cheer him up first with his favorite catnip mouse, [[TemptingFate and finally]] his own [[BerserkButton "nice and 'stinky']] litter box, which results in making Stimpy even ''worse'', causing him to violently "[cry] about [his] imaginary BUTT stinkyness", as Ren puts it. Eventually, he gives up after stubborn Stimpy refuses to "[listen] to this anymore", convinced that "He's real! He's real! He's REAL!!", and all the while doesn't care about anything anymore. Months later, Stimpy is (still) waiting for "Stinky" to come home, and after Ren tries cheering him up again, he finally snaps, and goes by himself to "the naked city" to find poor little "Stinky"...who is out there in the cold! Lost! '''''ALONE!'''''[[note]]Stimpy: "He NEEDS me! He needs me..."[[/note]]...and is not coming back until he finds "him".

* TruthInTelevision: As "unfunny-on-purpose", and "completely-idiotic-even-by-the-show's-standards" as this episode is, it does show, even if exaggerated, one of the things depression can do (such as anything related to the cause pushing a berserk button that causes uncontrollable crying or other things).

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ren[[note]]But only because John [[ExecutiveMeddling had it forced on him]] by [[Creator/{{Nickelodeon the network]].[[/note]]

Stimpy is sitting at home in front of the TV one day when suddenly... something comes out of his butt; it makes a sound, and it smells funny. He tries to explain it to Ren, but he doesn't believe him. After having named the thing "Stinky", Stimpy goes on a search for his "son". He can't find him anywhere... and gets depressed for three years. After all this time, Ren fruitlessly tries to pull his best friend out of this depression, but gives up after stubborn Stimpy is convinced that the thing is "real", and doesn't care about anything anymore. Months later, Stimpy is waiting for the fart to come home, and after Ren tries cheering him up again, he finally snaps and goes after the fart, not coming back until he finds "him".
