  Alright kiddies, you'll jump up and down like idiots!
  It's another review of a new Ren and Stimpy episode!

  Here was the line-up:

   Even MORE Log accessories
   SVEN HOEK (Part 1)
   SVEN HOEK (Part 2)
   Gritty Kitty Litter: Free Prize
   Say Goodbye: Blow yourself up


  EVEN MORE LOG ACCESSORIES:

   I enjoyed the last log accessories and this wasn't any less funny.
  I choked laughing at Police Log (Note the darker tint of the log
  being beat up... some social statement, eh?) and Civil War Log.

  SVEN HOEK:
   (Part 1)

   The intro/credits for Sven Hoek were VERY SUSPICIOUS at the
  beginning.  It actually featured a REAL person, a stupid looking
  accordian player with the fakest moustache, where he pulled the
  accordian to reveal credits.  I have a feeling Nick weren't allowed
  access (or didn't want access) to the original credit showings and
  decided to make one up in about 10 minutes.

  Ok, all in all, this one was quite funny.  It was definitely a
  GROUP episode, where the more people you had over to watch it,
  the funnier it was.

  A few confusing things was Stimpy's "appointment".  He walked over
  to a garage door INSIDE the house with a slot for 25 cents.  He put
  one in only to find the hind of Mr. Horse kick him across the room.
  And mind you, Stimpy REALLY enjoyed it. (It was almost as if he
  discovered sex for the first time). Sorry, no Mr. Horse lines or even
  his face... just his ass.    One very Camp-esque touch to this
  scene was Stimpy's getting himself together, looking VERY similar
  to Ewalt and Abner's face twitches.

   I also thought that Ren's voice sounded different from the beginning,
  but it really was John K. with a little less effort.  Note that Ren
  starts to sound more like Mr. Horse every time he says something.
   (Translation: John K. seems to care less about differentiating his
   voices.)

   The second confusing thing, was Sven's opening line. Was it
  "I am Only, You are Sven"?  Oh well, who cares. Billy West does a
  GREAT job with his voice, sounding like a mix between Stimpy and
  Barney from the Simpsons pronouncing J's as "Yay"'s.

   The "Another reason we should bomb Prickalodeon" award tonite goes
  to that EEEDiotic SNICK logo which graced our screens not just ONCE
  but TWICE. (Maybe they should make ANOTHER mistake, maybe THREE more!)

   The classic scene here was Ren's going mad after coming from work.
   This was almost as freaky as the walrus!  This was ANOTHER Camp-esque
  touch to the show.  Bob Camp episodes almost always have Ren freaking
  out. (Check out "In the Army" and "Stimpy's Invention").

  Despite the shitty SNICK logos, I'm glad I have this one on tape, because
   I don't know if they'll show the whizzing part again.

   John K. also makes a good Satan.  (Though not as funny as the Satan
  in the animation flick called "Let's Chop Soo-eee")

   Folks, I recommend seeing this episode as soon as you can.

  GRITTY KITTY LITTER:

  This borrowed the entire dancing scene of Stimpy during the
  Muddy Mudskipper show.  The only new addition was the NEW FREE
  PRIZE in every bag of Gritty Kitty.  Pretty useless.  Seemed to just
  take up space.

  SAY GOODBYE:

    Well, THIS was one to test us John K. loyalists with the new voice
   of Ren.  He seems to sound like an good IMITATOR of Ren but not Ren.
   The accent is too much, and he sounds too mellow.  Oh well, I guess
   this WILL take getting used to.   Note that they sampled John K
    at the end of the scene with the "Goodbye Folks".


  I enjoyed the entire half hour, but it was also sad at the same time
  seeing all the glitches we all have to look forward to...
