"Stimpy’s Pet" contains examples of:
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: The midget speaks like Jack Nicholson.
- Special Guest: Phil Hartman as the midget.
"Ren’s Brain" contains examples of:
- Brain Theft: Stimpy removes Ren's brain and replaces it with a telephone.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: The episode ends with the Earth exploding.
- End of an Era: This is the last episode written by John Kricfalusi, and the last episode where he voices Ren (via archival recording).
- Freak Out: Ren’s Brain has one when he gets home and finds Stimpy hanging out with his brainless body, mistaking it for another chihuahua.
- Gainax Ending: Stimpy is fighting to sedate Ren's disembodied brain. The audience watching the episode is so freaked out that their brains explode, and it sets off a chain reaction of head explosions that destroys the Earth. Afterwards, a narrator ominously intones "And thus endeth the Republican party as we know it", while Ren's brain drifts through space with a shout of "You eediot!"
- Oblivious Transformation: Ren's brain gets up and goes to work as if nothing has happened.
