Because kids love gross-out humor? Lmao
Nearly every 4-10 y.o. I’ve known in my lifetime had “fart,” “poop,” “butt,” and “booger” as their top most said words of the day. The remainder was yammering about their favorite TV shows and books/toys. And bugs. And rocks.
I met Bob Camp once in Atlantic city. He told me very many strange things about his life as an animator but when I told him that those close-ups haunt me in my dreams he simply laughed and said "Yeah! We call 'em Gross-Ups! It was our favorite thing to make!"
The gross up close up. It's one of my favorite techniques.
EDIT: In fact I saw great use of it in a new cartoon pilot that I quite enjoyed: Gnome Show

Because it was ok. People were mentally healthier. Socially wiser. Less hysterical.
People are still that way outside the US, Russia and Afghanistan.
Except that's absolutely not true.

Anyone that thinks that society has gone soft and media can't really be free doesn't remember what it was actually like before.
None of those overlapped with Ren and Stimpy. All of those were for the parents of the kids watching cartoons on Saturday mornings, the sole exception being the Satanic Panic from the 80s (which involved the duplicate article you posted about D&D).
Ren and Stimpy was allowed because the people who would cry foul were too cheap for basic cable and didn't know it existed.

The 90’s were a special time that we didn’t fully appreciate until they were gone.
I loved the 90s, hit em at the right age
One my greatest dilemmas is how much I love Ren and Stimpy's first seasons but I absolutely despise John Kricfalusi. I can't even downplay his hand on the show, the humour comes straight out of his sick mind and I love it.
Maybe we should arrest guys like him and, instead of putting them in jail and letting them rot there doing nothing, force them to make cartoons. There may be some untapped potential there.
I didn't know about Kricfalusi. Damn.

See "sexual abuse allegations".

SPACE ……… MADNESS!
Oh, my beloved ice cream bar...
...how I love to lick your creamy center!
And your oh-so-nutty chocolate covering!
You're not like the others. You like the same things I do. Wax paper... boiled football leather... DOG BREATH!
You have obviously not watched the brain rot videos kids watch today. Ren and Stimpy is like reading a dictionary in comparison.
Yeah, no kids or adults ever like this sort of thing. It definitely isn't mainstream and wildly popular.
It was ok lol. My dad was the one to put me on Ren and Stimpy. It gave me a huge love and appreciation for cartoons and animation in general.
The animators of Ren and Stimpy felt like they put a lot of love in that show. Their enjoyment of their job shines through.
Ren and Stimpy is my favorite Nickelodeon show.
Ren: "You know Stimpy. Your wealth of ignorance astounds me."
Stimpy: "Well they don't call me stupid for nothin' "
Wow. Ren and Stimpy in the wild. My namesake.
YOU BLOATED SACK OF PROTOPLASM!!!
aaannddd you know what else im gonna do?
Im gonna hit ya....
....aaaanddd youre gonna fall down....
Lol. 90s cartoons were something else.

It was on SNICK on Saturday night
Eventually it was on in the mornings too, but yeah it started as a SNICK thing
It was on cable TV, not everyone had this at the time it aired
Also it was part of Snick. Saturday night Nick. It wasn't a morning cartoon

I think it aired at 9pm on Saturdays, though?
Yeah, it wasn't a Saturday morning cartoon. It was on MTV in the evenings.
That was the reboot. The original aired on Nickelodeon, but a more "adult" version was made for MTV after the initial got canceled.
I didn’t see a time slot in the Wikipedia article. I was just going off of memory. My memory is telling me that it was late afternoon when nicktoons started and proper evening when ren n stimpy came on.
Yeah, it was all ages stuff most of the day Saturday (I think for a time Nick Jr was a midday block on Nickelodeon), then Nicktoons, then SNICK which was for tweens and teens starting at like 7:30 or 8PM, after little ones usually go to bed during the school year.
Ren & Stimpy was on at 9PM for sure.

Idk I always thought these hyper detailed stills were pretty funny
“Gross-ups”!
"They" made the right decision. Without Ren and Stimpy there would not have been a successful SpongeBob SquarePants. Also, a booger collection under an end table? Genius!
By far I think the most extreme part that I probable wouldn't wantnkids watching is either the ghost suicide episode or the one where Ren verbally tells Stimpy and his own cousin how he's gonna basically kill them.
Otherwise, it was a weird and at times grossout show that I wouldn't mind letting a kid watch, creator aside.

Even more striking is when you look into the creation of Ren and Stimpy and how he kept his job and is still enjoying a free life.
Probably because it ran on Sat nights not Sat mornings.
I mean it was awesome
and this isn't even the most disgusting scene. I grew up watching this and I am ok (no I am not help me)

Ah. The good ol days when "cartoons are for kids". I think South Park finally shattered that illusion.
The Flintstones was originally run at prime time for adults and their families. This wasn't broken by South Park. Even the Simpsons did it before South Park did it
