I was a big fan back in '92 and must have watched the toothache episode dozens of times. The bit about the cartoon confronting bodily fluids at the "height" of AIDS fears was bullshit filler, as I remember that was definitely mid to late 80s when people were at their most ignorant about the potential spread of HIV.

Otherwise good post.

I didn't have cable or satellite TV (just OTA networks) until a bit after the peak of Ren and Stimpy, but I did see some of the episodes later as re-runs when I was in my late teens in the late 90s.

Magic Nose Goblins sticks in my head (and on the bottom of my table).

And the commercial for "Log" may well deserve some of the credit for my disdain with rampant ads and consumer culture.

Brilliant subversive show.

Common everybody!!!

Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses
And we have to clean up after them
And our saddle sores are the best
We proudly wear womens' clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts
And the buzzards, they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
Our bones will bleach in the sun
And we will probably go to HELL
And that is our great reward
For being the roy-oy-al Canadian Kilted Yaksmen
