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, like Ren, he's was badly flanderized in the Adult Party Cartoon.

Why He Sucked
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 was originally portrayed as a protagonist who was ditzy, dumb, happy-go-lucky, and a goofball, all in a good way. Like having Stimpy as a stereotypically homophobic character for no real reason who’s extremely stupid, 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 some form of 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 that Ren is, that doesn’t excuse him for hating other gay people). This makes him very hypocritical since he acts gay too.
 * 3) * Also, he is a hypocrite, he hates the gay community so much to the point where he would make Junko Enoshima, Rouge the Bat's Sonic X incarnation, Game Fan's Wall-Nut, Peashooter, Sunflower, Squash & Acid Lemon and even Jeffy from SuperMarioLogan look innocent.
 * 4) He is a total doormat that Ren mistreats him constantly and Stimpy just lets Ren walk all over him for no reason, making him a complete Butt-Monkey. Unlike in the original show, where it was kind of the opposite.
 * 5) He’s extremely stupid to the point it’s not even funny, similar to Seasons 6-8 of Patrick Star. Sure he was stupid and a moron in the original series, but was never a complete idiot like his portrayal in this spin-off. His stupidity used to be charming, now his stupidity is incredibly irritating and frustrating to watch.
 * 6) * Stimpy's first attempt to smoke a cigarette is very unpleasant, unfunny, and extremely cringeworthy to watch.
 * 7) He’s also pointless and has no purpose to the show whatsoever. You could replace Stimpy with someone else and nothing would really change.
 * 8) 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.
 * 9) Gross-Out Behavior: He and Ren are the constant causes of making stomach-wrenching scenes, one of these examples includes eating body fluids and living inside a drunk person's mouth while not seeming to care that much about it.
 * 10) He also went from being actually funny to being extremely unfunny, gross, vulgar, disturbing, and disgusting, even for his intended adult audience.
 * 11) * We even get to see Stimpy in a pair of small thong panties in Naked Beach Frenzy, which is incredibly cringe-worthy.
 * 12) 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.
 * 13) Stimpy's crying is ear-piercing, although we do feel bad for him after Ren argued with him and for how the latter treats Stimpy.
 * 14) He was the conflict in Stimpy’s Pregnant, as everyone thought he was pregnant, but in reality, he was constipated.
 * 15) *Speaking of Stimpy’s Pregnant, for no particular reason, he changes his gender from male to female (complete with breasts) upon realizing that he's "pregnant". Not only is it cringeworthy to watch, but it also makes absolutely zero sense, even by Ren & Stimpy standards, as cats are incapable to change their gender on a whim.
 * 16) 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!!!"
