## References

* The move "Memory Jogger" is a reference to the Season 1 episode "Stimpy's Invention" where Ren hits himself on the head to destroy Stimpy's happy helmet.
* The move "Log from Blammo!" is a reference to the recurring ads in the show for Log, a fake toy that is a parody of pet rocks and Mr. Potato Head.
* The move "History Eraser" is a reference to the Season 1 episode "Space Madness". In the episode, the History Eraser Button destroys all of existence when pressed.
* The move "First Fart" is a reference to the Season 2 episode "Son of Stimpy" in which Stimpy farts for the first time in his life.
* The dance Ren does in their taunt references the Season 1 episode “Fire Dogs 2” from "Ren & Stimpy 'Adult Party Cartoon'", in which Ren does a strangely choppy dance while Stimpy plays a flute.
	+ Stimpy's dance in their taunt also comes from the "'Adult Party Cartoon'" episode "Altruists".
* Their entrance animation, victory animation, and team victory animation all reference the Happy Happy Joy Joy dance from "Stimpy's Invention" from Season 1.
* Their alternate costume possibly references the hat Ren wears in the Season 2 episode "Son of Stimpy", along with both the cover to the VHS compilation "Have Yourself a Stinky Little Christmas" and various official Nickelodeon Christmas merchandise (in which Stimpy also wears a similar hat).
* Their official render is a reference to a piece of stock art.
* Their other render is a reference to another piece of stock art.
* Their alternate render of just Stimpy running is also a reference to another piece of stock art.
