No Pants Today is the second half of the first episode of the third season of The Ren & Stimpy Show.

Plot
After taking a shower, Stimpy cannot find his pants and is sent outside without his will. On his quest for pants, he encounters Mr. and Mrs. Pipe, Victor the Bully, and a pack of clothed wild animals.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) To begin with, Stimpy doesn't wear pants in the original series, since he is always normally naked, making this episode unnecessary. It's also a butt-monkey torture episode for Stimpy.
 * 2) Speaking of Stimpy, he can be a bit unlikable and stupid (in a bad way) here, as he wants is to just wear clothes.
 * 3) The animation in this episode, while decent, has a bit of downgrade, as it is more stiff and limited. To be fair though, this is due to Nickelodeon switching studios for the show from Spümcø to Games Animation, due to John Kricfalusi's firing.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Some of the characters, like Ren, are pretty likable here.
 * 2) Although the animation is downgraded a bit due to Games Animation taking over the show, it still looks decent and the voice-acting is good as ever.
 * 3) Good Ending: Even though it was not necessary Stimpy to wear clothes, the episode ends in a good note with Stimpy, Ren and the squirrel wearing blue dresses.

Trivia

 * At the beginning of this episode, while Stimpy was in the shower, he hums the Happy Happy Joy Joy song.
 * Originally the episode was going to be called "Stimpy, That Dirty Little Naked Boy". But however for some reason it was changed to "No Pants Today".
