"Jimminy Lummox" is the seventh episode of the third season of The Ren & Stimpy Show . It originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on February 19, 1994.
Ren Höek owns a company named Ren Höek Inc. where he spends his days causing sadistic mayhem. He poses as a company made to handle prank calls before pranking an unsuspecting victim; he also pranks a beheaded chicken living in a refrigerator, who reacts aggressively after Ren pretends to be Colonel Sanders intending to fry him. Ren goes to the local reservoir, where he force-feeds beavers lemon juice and releases them into the water. The beavers urinate and subsequently contaminate the water for the entire population; an unsuspecting Mr. Pipe drinks the water from the tap.
Ren goes to a tree where he traumatizes fledglings by screaming at them. He returns home, where he attempts to prank Stimpy by making him sit on a drawing pin and nitroglycerin; Stimpy is not harmed and affected by the resulting explosion, still focusing on the television. Ren pours live crabs into the bathtub while Stimpy is bathing; to his disappointment, Stimpy does not feel any pain, despite the crabs grabbing on his body; he mistakes them for body fat.
Stimpy finally realizes Ren's problem when he finds Ren pulling the wing of Ralph the fly for his sadistic amusement; he assigns his conscience, Jimminy Lummox, to him for a while. Jimminy immediately appears and sits on Ren while singing about his duties. He immediately smashes an angry Ren, flattening him afterwards.
Ren wakes up to find his dentures gone; Stimpy had been using them to remove fish scales. Ren is pulverized again when he reacts angrily. He is angered even further, when his collection of stolen used underwear from celebrities including Van Johnson and June Allyson are washed. He goes insane, believing Stimpy is trying to get him assaulted while angry. Jimminy Lummox appears again, flattening him with a car while Stimpy flees. Ren asks if Jimminy has a conscience; he reveals his conscience, Tinker Galoot (Kowalski in a fairy costume), who pulverizes him the same way Jimminy did to Ren each time he offends someone.
Bob Camp wrote the story at Spümcø, where it was never approved for the second season by series creator John Kricfalusi until his firing. Ron Hughart, an individual regarded to be reliable by both Kricfalusi and Nickelodeon executives, served as director, while Jim Gomez and Ron Hauge rewrote the script. Peter Avanzino storyboarded the episode. The episode was censored by the network which removed the scenes of Ren tormenting Stimpy along with the scene where Ren tricks Mr. Pipe into drinking beaver urine. [1]
American journalist Thad Komorowski gave "Jimminy Lummox" three out of five stars, writing that the episode was "a one-joke cartoon made funnier by Freberg's voice work". [2]
