Plot

Ren and Stimpy are on a beach somewhere in California where Ren is humiliated by a bully whom the "beach babes" prefer. [1] Ren wishes that he was not so scrawny, and at which point Charles Globe (a parody of Charles Atlas) emerges from the waves. [1] Charles Globe tells Ren that he should get a Pec-Toe-Plastic surgery to give him the pectoral muscles he desires. [1] Stimpy volunteers his fat from his buttocks to assist with the operation. [1] After a painful operation, Ren is endowed with the pectoral muscles of his dreams. [1] Ren returns to the beach where he beats up the bully and wins the love of the "beach babes". [2] Ren becomes a Hollywood star and credits his success to Charles Globe. [2] Ren lives in luxury in a penthouse in Los Angeles while Stimpy works as his maid. [2] Ren has forgotten whom Stimpy even was. [2]

Cast

Production

The episode was written for the second season of The Ren & Stimpy Show by Richard Pursel and John Kricfalusi of the Spümcø studio. [2] After Kricfalusi was fired on 21 September 1992, the episode was assigned to the new Games Animation studio who held it over to the third season. [2] The original version called for the episode to be half an hour long and was to feature Ren's fall from being a Hollywood star and to return to Stimpy at the end. [2] The Games Animation studio cut the story short by leaving Ren as a Hollywood star. [2]

Reception

The American journalist Thad Komorowski gave Ren's Pecs two and a half stars out of five. [1]
