Ren Hoek

Marland "Ren" Hoek (voiced by John Kricfalusi and later Billy West) is a funny animal chihuahua and 1 of the titular protagonists of the animated Comedy series The Ren & Stimpy Show.

He is depicted as being short-tempered, greedy, selfish, and abusive -- in other words, he is mentally unstable.

In 1 episode, for example, Ren goes insane while taking a bath and starts eating a bar of soap (which he believes is an "ice cream bar"). He then develops a psychotic scheme to destroy the entire series by tricking Stimpy into pressing a button; he succeeds.

Another example includes the episode Sven Hoek, in which Ren's cousin Sven comes over for a visit. To Ren's disappointment, Sven ends up being just as dim-witted as Stimpy. To make matters worse, Sven and Stimpy destroy all of Ren's valued possessions while he is out grocery-shopping. Maddened, Ren explains in graphic detail how he will torture the 2; but first, he execuses himself to go to the bathroom. While doing so, he stubbles upon a game of Stimpy's, called "Don't Whiz On The Electric Fence." Asking if this is their favorite game, Ren proceeds to pee on the electric fence, and is electrocuted as a result.
