Stimpy (Adult Party Cartoon)

Stimpson "Stimpy" J. Cat is one of the two titular main characters in the Ren and Stimpy franchise. Although he's a good character in the original show, he's was badly flanderized in the Adult Party Cartoon.

Why He Sucks
NOTE: This only focuses on the Adult Party Cartoon version of Stimpy, since the original Stimpy is likable.
 * 1) FIRST AND FOREMOST, like the show itself, recasting an iconic cartoon character who originally portrayed protagonist who was ditzy, dumb, and happy-go-lucky, all in a good way, like Stimpy as a stereotypical homophobic character over Ren for no real reason who’s extremely stupid and pointless and has no purpose whatsoever is a very bad idea. Which was why it upset and angered so many fans of Ren and Stimpy and the Stimpy character in general (though the Stimpy fans aren’t as angry as Ren fans were), since the mh:greatcharacters:Stimpy character prior to his Flanderization in Ren and Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" has been a fan favorite and audiences have been rooting for him for many years, only for him to end up losing almost all of his charm and likeability, to the point that he becomes widely hated once he gets turned into a pointless character, hence it insults the fanbase very hard (though he’s not as hated as the flanderized Ren is).
 * 2) He’s a stereotypically homophobic character (despite showing homosexual and feminine characteristics) over Ren, meaning he has hatred and/or prejudice towards Ren and other gay people for no real reason (though some of his hatred towards Ren is understandable, given the monster Ren is, that doesn’t excuse him for hating other gay people). Heck, he hates the gay community so much to the point where he would make Junko Enoshima, Rouge the Bat and even Jeffy look innocent.
 * 3) He is a total doormat that Ren walks all over him for no reason, making him a complete Butt-monkey, unlike in the original show, where it was kind of the opposite.
 * 4) He’s extremely stupid to the point where he’s not even funny. He was stupid in the original series, but was never a complete idiot like his portrayal in this spin-off, and his stupidity was also charming, unlike his flanderized self.
 * 5) He’s also pointless, and has no purpose to the show whatsoever. You could replace Stimpy with someone else and nothing would really change.
 * 6) While not as big as Ren’s, his character was one of the biggest problems with the Adult Party Cartoon, which was a show that already contained many problems.
 * 7) He also went from being actually funny to being extremely unfunny, gross, vulgar, disturbing, and disgusting, even for his intended adult audience.
 * 8) During the "Ask Dr. Stupid" segment in Onward and Upward, he feels tasteless and was shoehorned in order to get a cheap laugh and make viewers think that they're watching the original Ren & Stimpy.
 * 9) Stimpy's crying is ear-piercing, although we do feel bad for him after Ren argued with him.
 * 10) Stimpy's first attempt to smoke a cigarette is very unpleasant, unfunny, and extremely cringeworthy to watch.
 * 11) We even see Stimpy in a pair of small thong panties in Naked Beach Frenzy.
 * 12) He was the conflict in Stimpy’s Prefnant, as everyone thought he was pregnant, but in reality, he was constipated.
 * 13) Overall, his character basically represents the stupid and homophobic side of his creator John Kricfalusi.
 * 14) His character design can look ugly at times, mainly due to John K. preferring off-model rather than staying on-model.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He isn’t as infamous or as badly flanderized as Ren is.
 * 2) Depending on your view, he is a bit likable and is the least intolerable of the main duo.
 * 3) Eric Bauza's performance as Stimpy was good (when he's not crying, at least) and sounded pretty close to his old voice actor, Billy West.
 * 4) SHAMPOO MASTER!!!
