Ren and Stimpy

Ren Höek is a scrawny "asthma-hound" Chihuahua with a floppy body, donkey-like ears, neon-pink eyes with dark red pupils, red (or sometimes light brown) eyelids, and a fairly long, rat-like, pink tail who often calls Stimpy an idiot ("eediot", to quote the character) and slaps him around, quite literally. Ren is vain, spiteful, hyperactive, abusive, and he has a short fuse (especially with Stimpy). His lifelong ambitious personality is to have huge pectoral muscles. Ren's name is the real name of Kricfalusi's building manager. He was born on Tuesday the 17th, which makes him especially unlucky in Ren and Stimpy.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Although he's very mean, violent, short-tempered, dyspeptic, and abusive to his friend Stimpy, Ren has shown to be nice, sympathetic and considerate to him. Sometimes he even has a good and sometimes comedic reason to be annoyed with him, cause Stimpy can be an total eediot sometimes.
 * 2) With that said, Ren can also be the voice of reason in order to prevent Stimpy from being persuaded into doing unnecessary stuff like wasting so much money into a Salve in order to set a balance for him with what he likes to buy since he already spent 12,000 payments for the super-vacuum in the episode "To Salve and to Salve Not".
 * 3) His lines are hilarious like "YOU EEDIOT!", "You sick little monkey!", "You fat bloated eediot!" and even his famous Laugh.
 * 4) Speaking of humor, lots of moments in his comedic sociopathy, snarks, insanity and violence can range from comical to hilarious
 * 5) Given that he is a Chihuahua (an fairly intelligent breed) it works off quite well since Ren is not only intelligent, but definitely very cunning and sophisticated [in spite of his insanity]. Compared to many cartoon dogs, he was quite unique.
 * 6) His psychopathic personality is better than that horrid Adult Party Cartoon version because he wasn't a Complete Monster in the original era.
 * 7) His expressions are quite funny varied.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His character design is confusing [along with the titular Stimpy and some other side-characters], Ren's appearance is hard to tell what he is at all, especially to point the fact that he was supposed to be a Chihuahua. But he look's more like a skinned rabbit but with a distorted face or even resembles more of a very slim, hairless cat (ironically enough), a rat or a weasel.
 * 2) Even in bad episodes of Ren & Stimpy (like in seasons 3-half to 5), he can be incredibly unlikable with being very self-absorbed & unpleasant. In the original season 1 to 3, he can sometimes be an occasional Butt-Monkey for the wrong reasons like in "Dog Show" for example, where he was always treated poorly along with Stimpy and were both forced to be into that dog show by the irresponsible George Liquor. Ren can even be both combined like in the infamous "Aloha Hoek" were he dies at the end of that episode [Which both in contrast to what his much more & well known flanderized version and his flanderized version in the original series actually warrant his Butt-Monkey or even an Chew-Toy status]. Plus Ren can also be very disturbing at times.
 * 3) Speaking of which, he was Hit hard at Flanderization in the (Adult Party Cartoon) version.
