Dog Tags (The Ren & Stimpy Show)

Plot
When Ren disguises Stimpy as a dog he's allowed in but Ren must prove he's a dog to 2 dog bouncers.

Why It Should Fall Into A Manhole

 * 1) This is an 11-minute Ren Torture episode where he has to prove he's a dog to 2 dog bouncers just to get into the Dog Lodge.
 * 2) The Dog Bouncers are unlikeable and hypocritical because they easily fall for Stimpy's disguise and let him in but refuse to let Ren in despite being a member and they make Ren do a lot of demining and dangerous things just to mess with him including getting him to commit crimes like hotwiring a car which turned out to be a police car.
 * 3) The Dog Bouncers never get their comeuppance for all the torture they put Ren through.
 * 4) Some unfunny gross scenes like Ren being told to lick himself in public.
 * 5) This episode tries to poke fun at how Ren barely looks like a dog but is executed extremely poorly.
 * 6) Stimpy is never found out because everyone at the Dog Longue is too ignorant to realize he's a cat worse yet Ren misses everything while Stimpy has all the fun.
 * 7) The infamous scene where Ren attempts suicide by tying a cinder block to his leg to drop it in a manhole.
 * 8) Bad moral: It teaches you there's no point in trying to be who you are.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Stimpy is still likable and stops Ren from trying to commit suicide.
 * 2) A sweet moment where Stimpy tells Ren he wanted to join the Dog Lodge just to be with him.
 * 3) An decent ending with Ren joining a Cat Lodge with Stimpy despite the bad moral.

Trivia
This episode was banned for unknown reasons although it's likely because of the suicide scene.
