In this episode of Get Doc’d, we dive headfirst into the chaotic, colorful, and controversial world of Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren & Stimpy Story. This 2020 documentary explores the rise and fall of The Ren & Stimpy Show, the animated cult classic that pushed boundaries and redefined '90s cartoon culture — and the complicated legacy of its creator, John Kricfalusi.
The hosts unpack the explosive creativity that made the show a hit on Nickelodeon, while also tackling the darker undertones behind the scenes. From artistic genius to personal downfall, Happy Happy Joy Joy serves up a wild ride through animation history — but does it do justice to the full story?
We get into the film’s strengths, its hesitations, and what it means to separate art from the artist. Buckle up for a strange, sometimes uncomfortable, but always fascinating conversation.
