Another solid Steve Loter cartoon, not nearly as good as “Insomniac Ren” but I can definitely see why he was promoted to director so quickly. The episode has some fun Russian/American commentary (which the Games guys loved to make jokes about) and I’m glad this one lets the duo win the race after their fairly exciting space adventure. 7 out of 10.

"Spudnik" is a play on words. "Spud" is another word for potato, which is what powers the ship here.

Phil Hartman is a guest celebrity in this episode as the narrator.

I wish his wife didn't kill him in his prime.

5:33 I believe in Sven Höek they say he’s from Sweden, and since they’re cousins I think Ren is Swedish too

3:48 Big Flakes.

Thats already one of my most anticipated episodes despite remembering not much at all from it. This gave me even more hype

8:59 Say, that pig sounded like John Wayne. #Pilgrim #JohnWayne #RememberTheAlamo

Hope you resolve the copyright problem in 2024

The pig sounds like John Wayne

you should do a video about the evolution/changes in ren and stimpys design and compare them it would especially work for ren because his design can change like 5 times in one episode

I always thought that this episode was just OK, but I couldn't put my finger on where it went wrong for me. I agree with you that this episode's atmosphere isn't as good as that of the other space episodes (Space Dogged felt a lot more grounded in reality compared to the more fantastical and mysterious Commander Hoek and Cadet Stimpy episodes) Ultimately, I'd give it a 5/10, maybe a 6/10.

Cool! And have a happy New year

You too!

I like this episode, the news reel segment and the duo trying to breakthrough Earth's atmosphere was fun. It's just a shame they did stay in space for to long, though the episode was going more for a quick action vibe compared to the season 1 space episodes which had a slow pace and focused more on atmosphere. Besides all of that, it's a fun episode with a good story. I'll give it a 7/10

P.S I think this is the origin of the Commander Hoök and Cadet Stimpy episodes, like after the ending some executives came to Ren & Stimpy, and asked them if they wanted to star in a cartoon (aka what would become Commander Hoök and Cadet Stimpy). So when we see duo watching C.H.a.C.S, they're actually watching their Grandparents who won the space race.

That actually makes a lot of sense, I even forgot that it’s a cartoon inside a cartoon

Ya, it's a theory I've been thinking about for a while.
