School Mates (The Ren & Stimpy Show)

Plot
Ren's old classmate Chuck comes over a visit and shows distain in Ren's living condition.

Why It's Not Our Mate

 * 1) It's a Ren & Stimpy torture episode as Chuck makes Ren chase Stimpy dressing him up as a black cat and then Chuck torments Ren in the episode.
 * 2) Chuck is unlikeable throughout showing disgust in Ren being friends with Stimpy as well as living a middle-class lifestyle, chasing and biting off his butt Stimpy's butt, having 2 female dogs chase after Ren and later shown to have been Ren's bully in high school and being better at him in everything making him a "Karma-Houdini".
 * 3) Some really gross moments including a close-up of Stimpy's butt bitten off as well as a scene where Ren and Chuck spray skunks at each other.
 * 4) For some reason Chuck out of nowhere befriends Stimpy even after everything he did to him.
 * 5) Misleading title card: The title card shows Ren with a dunce cap making it look an episode that will take place in School especially with the title being "School Mates" but it doesn't.
 * 6) Chuck never gets his comeuppance after tormenting both Ren & Stimpy.
 * 7) The episode takes an upsetting turn out of nowhere when Ren becomes depressed after seeing Stimpy hang out with Chuck and looks back on how Chuck treated him back in the day which is really forced.
 * 8) Bad moral: The episode tells you there's no point in trying because if you're not popular you're going to grow up a failure.
 * 9) The title card music is really annoying to listen to.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Ren & Stimpy are the only likeable characters.
 * 2) Chuck is never seen again after this episode.
