Shnookums and Meat

Shnookums and Meat are the titular cat and dog duo of the infamous Disney Afternoon show, The Shnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show. They are voiced by Jason Marsden and Frank Welker respectively.

Both

 * 1) The duo are primitive, dull, and cliched rip-offs of Ren & Stimpy themselves, albeit with the roles reversed, with the cat being the smart, abusive jerk and the dog being the immature idiot instead of it being the other way around.
 * 2) * Especially when the typical cat and dog duo have always been portrayed this way in countless cartoons from the past to now, especially when it comes to intelligence and personality traits (i.e CatDog themselves, Kitty Katswell and Dudley Puppy from Tuff Puppy, Garfield paired with Odie, and to some extent, even Goofy and Peg-Leg Pete in Goof Troop).
 * 3) Everything they do is usually very unfunny, obnoxiously over-the-top, somewhat childish & undignified, rude, and unnecessarily repulsive on occasion (e.g moments of them doing gross things like eating expired food in order to survive a lethal earthquake in the episode "Cabin Fever" or making extremely ugly expressions; especially when this was either intentional or not).
 * 4) Most of their off-model designs range from being appropriately cartoonish and surreal to being downright ugly and somewhat hideous (even more than Ren & Stimpy's standards).
 * 5) They're quite destructive due to how much they continuously wreck their home, mainly because of their chase-filled antics and how clumsy/accident-prone they are.
 * 6) * In the episode "Jingle Bells, Something Smells", Meat destroyed someone else's home and Christmas tree by accident.
 * 7) Their voices are absolutely irritating. Where Shnookums is the biggest and worst  offender between the two.
 * 8) In the "Step Ladder to Heaven" episode, they show how shallow they are by dumping their newfound girlfriends at a drive-in movie theater during their date just because of their physical appearance, which is a very petty & judgmental reason to do so.
 * 9) They're both equally just as immature and are very moronic as well. Much like a certain duo that came 15 years after these guys.
 * 10) * In fact, they were so lazy, that they got morbidly obese in the episode "Weight Gain" and both of them laughed at how jiggly their fat bellies were.
 * 11) ** Eventually, they were kicked out of the house as a way of being forced to lose weight. Which got them to exercise, and despite this, they partake in these exercises in the most impractical and dangerous ways possible.

Shnookums

 * 1) His role is basically a cat version of Ren Hoek from Ren & Stimpy but with none of the humor, charm, sharp intelligence, and likability Ren had (at least by the original series' Ren standards).
 * 2) He is always mean-spirited to Meat as he keeps taunting and playing dangerous, recklessly cruel & painful pranks on him.
 * 3) He keeps manipulating Meat into doing bad stuff like making up compulsive lies or inflicting situations onto him when it was Shnookums' fault like ditching Meat to get attacked by a giant fish monster in "Something's Fishy!" or kicking Meat off of a bridge when the latter asked if he could have his back scratched when Meat said that there was a flee on his back in "Bugging Out".
 * 4) * He even gaslights him into doing something he wouldn't do on occasion just to mess with him, one of the many examples of his mean-spiritedness being in episodes like "I.Q. You Too!"; all for trying to make Meat look bad for no good reason.
 * 5) He's very self-centered, lazy, arrogant & conceited enough to the point that he doesn’t seem to care about anything happening to Meat as well, despite both of them being pets (even if it was him leaving him in trouble like in the aforementioned S#1).
 * 6) * He hardly, if ever, gets his comeuppance for being a huge jerk to Meat. He comes as both: a Karma Houdini/Gary Stu type of character who has every right to be a well-deserved Butt-Monkey at the same time.
 * 7) With that said, in "Kung Fu Kitty", after he made a big mistake of making Meat dumber and a lot less of a protective dog, he tries to frame Meat by having him work with the burglars so he could be the center of attention when he was brought into the family.
 * 8) In the episode "Night of the Living Shnookums", (while done hilariously) he tried to dump Meat off a river of a bridge when Meat was in a trash bin and had also revealed that he was trying to make Shnookums realize how he was going too far with his pranks.
 * 9) His plans don’t make any sense at all. He tends to tell Meat whatever he wants to do whenever he and Meat have to resolve something, even if it's a bad idea.
 * 10) * The infamous "Pain in the Brain!" episode, when he thought cleaning his and Meat's filthy brains after losing them with being washed and shrunk will fix the problem they had with repairing their brains; despite them still properly functioning without their brains being in their skull. While the problem both of them made was resolved in the most impractical and aimless ways possible, it still seemed like a dumb idea from the start.
 * 11) * In the episode "Bugging Out", Shnookums thinks to use chemical welfare to get rid of a house full of fleas. But he doesn't think to try seeing if the chemicals actually make them smaller since they just explode, because of this, it makes the fleas become huge (they even spray them without a gas mask!).
 * 12) With that said from S#7, he also never seems to realize how he can be just as dumb as Meat is, this is because he's always condescending and snobbish about Meat's dim-witted nature when Shnookums can have his moments with being just as clumsy, hare-brained and imbecilic.
 * 13) * In "Cabin Fever", Meat notices and tells Shnookums that the weenies he found were expired since 1952, but Shnookums still told him that's ok to eat them with no forethought; which causes the both of them to have a severe acid trip.
 * 14) His character design is incredibly unoriginal since it looks a lot like an orange-furred version of Sylvester from Looney Tunes.

Meat

 * 1) His role is basically a dog version of Stimpy from Ren & Stimpy but with none of the humor, charm and likability Stimpy had (at least by the original series' Stimpy standards).
 * 2) A bit like Patrick Star (Seasons 6-8), he is often very obtuse, simple-minded, and dense, all to the point of being stupid in an unfunny way, even for a typically dumb dog.
 * 3) When his owners aren't around, he has his moments of beating up and scaring Shnookums, which is often done intentionally. Which shows how his loyalty towards Shnookums can be somewhat sudden or forced since he can also be rather violent towards Shnookums.
 * 4) Despite this, his stupidity generally allows him to be pushed around by Shnookums more often than not and he often never thinks for himself when he needs to, which is a tad bit similar to that of the "adult party" version of his competitor. Especially when Shnookums' 'Karma-Houdini' status can make Meat a lot more pitiful most of the time.
 * 5) * He's even shown to be quite a huge coward that can also be pathetic and a whining crybaby on occasion (who is often a punching bag).
 * 6) He has shown to be also impulsively (and unreasonably) short-tempered as well, like his first introduction where he starts to chase after Shnookums after having a piece of food flung in his face by Shnookums by total accident.

Both

 * 1) They have had moments of being either likable or humorous. The best example being "Night of the Living Shnookums".
 * 2) Their designs, albeit unoriginal, are passable.

Shnookums

 * 1) There were moments where he did actually care about Meat.
 * 2) He sometimes realizes his mistakes and tries to fix things, if foolishly in some instances.
 * 3) Despite seeming like a Karma-Houdini/Gary-Stu most of the time, he does get his comeuppance (humorously or not) for his frustrating behavior.

Meat

 * 1) He can be kindhearted and innocent most of the time, and also cares a lot about Shnookums.
 * 2) * Albeit a dog stereotype, he is also very loyal to Shnookums and his family as well.
 * 3) There are times when he really does have a good reason to beat up, torment, & sometimes reason with Shnookums at times since Shnookums usually acts like a very boastful, provocative jerk towards him as Shnookums would always instigate the fight, conflict, and situation given the context from a certain episode like "Kung Fu Kitty" for example.
 * 4) He isn't always dense or obtuse, in fact, Meat has had a lot of moments where he is smart, right-minded, and even competent in several instances. Much to the point that he can come off as genuinely smarter than Shnookums sometimes, especially when Shnookums seems to think he's always the smart one when that isn't always the case.
