Long before the South Park kids were talking to turds, Ren and Stimpy were having cartoon encounters with nose goblins, hairballs, and the consequences of peeing on an electric fence. You Eediot! includes most of the great moments from their cartoon show, including "Log Theme," "Muddy Mudskipper," and "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy." The Screaming Lederhosen, a band made up of animators from the show, provide a number of slightly sluggish loungy musical interludes. Caveat emptor: this disk was recorded after creator John Kricfalusi was dumped from the show, so Ren's voice is done by Billy West instead. Although West is superb in his own right--and shines as Stimpy--those who loved the cartoons will miss Kricfalusi's original chihuahua-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown. --Heidi MacDonald |
