"Terminal Stimpy" is the seventeenth episode of the fifth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show. It originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on December 9, 1995.

Plot

Cast

• Ren – Voice of Billy West
• Stimpy – Voice of Billy West
• Muddy Mudskipper – Voice of Harris Peet
• Cow – Voice of Michael Pataki

Production

The episode was directed by Arthur Filloy, an alumnus of Mr. Big Cartoons. After directing the animation for "Blazing Entrails", he left the company due to low pay but was convinced by an angry Jim Ballantine (whom he did not notify about the departure) to be hired at Games Animation, with a higher wage at the condition that he directs the animation all contracted episodes at Mr. Big Cartoons. This is the second and last episode of the series where he serves as general director after "Travelogue", while also being the last with the involvement of Mr. Big Cartoons. This is also the last episode with involvement by Mark Marren, who produced the storyboards with showrunner Bob Camp while credited under the pseudonym Kirk Field.

Reception

American journalist Thad Komorowski gave the episode three and a half out of five stars, noting it to be "pleasantly morbid".
