Mr. Horse - Other Characters

Other Characters

  • George Liquor, American is an ultra-patriotic American and is so conservative that he thinks Republicans are Communists. When episodes featuring him were aired on Nickelodeon, his family name was edited out. Instead, the scene would pause and a record-scratching sound effect would be played in place of the word "Liquor". He was voiced by Michael Pataki, but Harris Peet voiced him in "The Boy Who Cried Rat" and "Black Hole," the episode in which he first appeared.
  • Mr. and Mrs. Pipe are a pair of square, white suburban parents who are seen only from the waist down. Mr. Pipe (voiced by Billy West) is typically clad in a bathrobe, slippers, and black socks supported by sock-suspenders. He also loves to wear Rubber Nipples on his knees and farts at inappropriate moments. Mrs. Pipe (voiced by Cheryl Chase) appears to wear a dress and nondescript women's shoes. Their first appearance was The Boy Who Cried Rat, in which Ren and Stimpy got a job catching mice for them. In "Big Baby Scam," it seems they have two children named Eugene and Shawn.
  • Abner Dimwit and Ewalt Nitwit are a pair of incredibly stupid hillbillies who are sheriff and deputy of a small Wild West town.

When Abner and Ewalt think about something, even on the most simple solutions, the theme from Jeopardy! plays.
  • Svën Höek is Ren's German cousin whom Ren has not seen since they were in the whelping box together. Ren longs to have an intellectual conversation with his cousin, but much to his horror, Svën is even stupider than Stimpy — they even belong to the same fraternal organization, the "Loyal Order of Stupid" — and he forms an instant bond with him. Last seen trapped in Hell, the end result of Ren's misguided cruelty (Stimpy and Svën are playing "Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence". Ren comes home from work and sees the mess the other two have made of his possessions. In spite, Ren does the very thing the game says not to do.), but later made several reappearances in the comic book and one more appearance in the series he had a non speaking cameo in Jerry The Bellybutton Elf. Billy West voiced the character.

  • Wilbur Cobb is a demented, decaying old man who was once the foremost cartoon producer in the world. He speaks in malapropisms, often body parts will fall off him as he is speaking.

Voiced by Jack Carter, his final appearance was in "The Last Temptation of Ren", where he was the gardener for God. Spumco originally wanted his name to be Raymond Spum but after the firing of Spumco, Games renamed him Wilbur Cobb after the story editor.

  • Waffle Woman is Powdered Toast Man's arch-nemesis and appears in the episode Powdered Toast Man vs. Waffle Woman.

  • The Announcer Salesman (also known as "That Guy") serves as the multi-purpose loudmouth in the Ren and Stimpy show. Sometimes, he is a salesman ("Feud For Sale", "To Salve Or Not To Salve".) Other times, he is a narrator, an announcer, a dog-show judge, a real estate agent, etc. The character is never referred to by any name in the series, but the name of "Hey, It's That Guy" seems to be the official name given by West, who also voiced him. He first appeared in "Space Madness" provoking Stimpy to press the history eraser button. He bears a slight resemblance to the genie from Disney's Aladdin. He had a moustache in "House of Next Tuesday".
  • Stinky Wizzleteats is a character whose design and voice characterization are based on the folk balladeer Burl Ives. He is the spirit of Yaskmas, and sings the recorded version of the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" song, occasionally digressing into furious rants ("I TOLD you I'd shoot! But you didn't believe me!

  • The Nerve Ending Fairy is a character who appears in the episode that Ren loses all his teeth, leaving his mouth full of "stinky gum holes." Stimpy, who has perfect dental hygiene, convinces Ren to pull out his nerve endings with tweezers and put them under his pillow for the Nerve Ending Fairy. As Ren and Stimpy sleep that night, out the window you can see a beautiful fairy appear, but a closer look shows that it's really a dirty old man who wiggles his toes when he says, "I smell something stiiiinky!" The Nerve Ending Fairy takes the nerve endings from under Ren's pillow and puts them on back side of his neck. He doesn't have any money, so instead gives him a ball of lint. Some people think he is Old Man Hunger yet there are obvious differences. The Nerve Ending Fairy wears a crown instead of a drumstick, Has a darker beard and smaller although he has a similar voice and does look the same despite the listed differences.
  • Jasper the Dog usually appears as a white-furred, red-nosed dog with blue spots; Jasper has been in a number of episodes. His first appearance ("Big House Blues") had him calmly explaining that "you don't wake up...from the big sleep". All the rest of his appearances were random cameos ranging from him being a normal dog, to the leader of the Hermit Union, and even as the senior officer of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.
  • Victor is a huge boy with orange hair, that always wears a white collar, black tie, and sweater vest. Though he dresses sharp, he is known as the school bully, who beats up Ren and Stimpy along with a young boy named Anthony. What he would normally do to Stimpy is give him stomach punches and every time he punched him he'd say, "Happy...Happy...Joy...Joy," and would sometimes love twisting Ren's head until his neck broke. The only person who is proud of Victor is his father, who would be waiting for Victor in a station wagon with a sign on the driver's door reading, "Victor's Dad". Victor's first appearance was in "A Visit to Anthony." Victor and his father made another appearance; offering an insecure Stimpy a pair of underpants if he can pass their initiation. Stimpy succeeded and was given a pair of underpants by Victor's Dad, which was time for him to change after wearing them for six months. They tossed Stimpy out the station wagon and laughed, and not paying attention to the road, they drive off the cliff. Victor was voiced by Danny Cooksey.
  • Jimminy Lummox As his name suggests, Jimminy Lummox is of the race called lummox known throughout Ren and Stimpy (just as Kowalski is). Despite that, he serves as the manifestation of Stimpy's conscience, who, given to Ren, mercilessly punishes him after any bad deed, big or small (he smashed Ren's face in with a guitar as penance for his earlier crimes). Jimminy also sings a song spun from "When You Wish Upon a Star". He was voiced by Stan Freberg
  • Jerry the Bellybutton Elf is a one eyed sea green elf that dwells within the confines of Stimpy's bellybutton. When Stimpy served Lint Loaf to Jerry, the Bellybutton Elf flips out and reveals himself to be a giant porkchop-like monster named Contorno, Lord of Chaos. He was voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
  • Anthony is a boy with unusually round glasses, probably noting that everyone thought he was a nerd. His favorite cartoon characters are Ren & Stimpy, who seem to come to his house after he writes a letter to them. Anthony's first appearance is in "A Visit to Anthony".

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Though they be mad and dead as nails,
    Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
    Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
    And death shall have no dominion.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The major men
    That is different. They are characters beyond
    Reality, composed thereof. They are
    The fictive man created out of men.
    They are men but artificial men.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
