Farm Hands is the seventh episode of the fourth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show that originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on 5 November 1994.

Plot

[edit]

The dimwitted characters, Abner Dimwit and Ewalt Nitwit, first introduced in the 1992 episode Out West return as the owners of the farm.[1] The duo adopt Ren and Stimpy to work as child labor as their own children are dead.[1] Ren is crushed in the chicken house while Abner "works" on the teeth of Ren and Stimpy by pulling them all out with a wrench.[1] Stimpy bonds with Mr. Horse and Bossie the gorilla while Ren does not.[1] A tornado sweeps the farm away while Ren and Stimpy take shelter in an outhouse while Bossie the gorilla joins them.[1]

Cast

[edit]
  • Ren-voice of Billy West
  • Abner Dimwit-voice of Bob Camp
  • Stimpy-voice of Billy West
  • Ewalt Nitwit-voice of Bob Camp

Production

[edit]

Much of the episode reused footage from Out West as a cost-saving measure.[1] The episode was illustrated by the Rough Draft Korea studio of Seoul.[1] The scene where Ren and Stimpy are in pain after having their teeth pulled out by Abner was censored.[1]

Reception

[edit]

The American critic Thad Komorowski gave the episode one star and a half out of five stars.[1]
