Prehistoric Stimpy is the sixth episode of the fourth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show that originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on 5 November 1994.
Ren and Stimpy visit the Museum of Natural History where Wilbur Cobb is the guide who gives a confused, rambling and mostly inaccurate account of prehistoric life. [1] Cobb states that life on earth began as single-celled amoebas and the story goes back in time hundreds of millions of years into the distant past where amoebas lived in the sea. [1] One amoeba that resembles Stimpy annoys an amoeba that resembles Ren, causing the Ren amoeba to slap the Stimpy amoeba, which then divides into new amoebas. [1] In the present, Cobb then moves forward in time to the age of the Stimpyfish, which crawled out of the ocean onto land, only to fall into a tar pit while another Stimpyfish crawls out of the ocean to avoid the tar pit and instead is run over by a bus. [1] Ren dismisses this story until Cobb shows him a prehistoric bus. [1] Cobb then moves forward in time to speak of the Stimpysaurus, the "stupidest creature of all time", a dinosaur that resembles Stimpy. he is shown to be of very low intelligence as it is slapped around by a dinosaur that resembles Ren. [1] In the present, Stimpy asks Cobb how the dinosaurs went extinct and receives baffling bizarre answers in response such as the dinosaurs went extinct because they watched too much television. [1] Cobb is arrested as he is revealed not to be a museum guide and as he is carried away shouts "I killed the dinosaurs!". [1] Ren and Stimpy prove their low intelligence by walking into a tar pit that is part of an exhibit and both drown. [1]
The episode was illustrated by the Mr. Big Cartoons studio of Sydney. [1] The cartoon was largely created by the showrunner, Bob Camp, who felt sorry for the financially distressed actor Jack Carter, and Prehistoric Stimpy was intended to be a showcase of Carter's vocal talents that would also give him some needed money. [2] The scene where Stimpy rips off pieces of Cobb's face was censored by the network. [3]
The American critic Thad Komorowski wrote that the episode was one of the stronger episodes that featured the recurring Wilbur Cobb character. [2]
