Stimpy Does Nasty Things to a Toe

On season four’s “Magical Golden Singing Cheeses,” Stimpy takes a crowbar to a toe, jamming it beneath to reveal gooey residue as he pries it off. Then, any children watching get to see the glorious sight of him removing the implanted, jagged end of said crowbar from the top of the toe. It’s about as graphic as mainstream animation can get. - 2547 VOTES
Ren’s Rotting Teeth
Video: YouTube
On the season two episode, “Ren’s Toothache,” it's revealed that Ren has never brushed his teeth, so, naturally, he has a toothache. Dental horror makes most people cringe, but this show takes oral unpleasantness to the maximum. Ren refuses to brush his teeth and they steam, crack, and are eventually ground into powder. His rotten gums and nerve endings are revealed in all their horrifying glory and it’s just a truly gag-worthy scene that’s widely considered too off-putting to be humorous or enjoyable. - 3365 VOTES
The Self-Mutilating Jester
Video: YouTube
If you're looking for evidence that this show was more interested in disgusting audiences than providing humor or entertainment, this might be the top candidate. For some unknown reason, a jester takes a cheese grater to his arm, raking his skin off. Then he rubs lemon on it and pours a bunch of salt on top for good measure. This is quite possibly the most horrific scene in the history of cartoons. - 4303 VOTES
Ren Eats Cat Litter

In “The Cat That Laid The Golden Hairball,” there’s just so much nastiness. Ren steps on a wet hairball, which his toes mush onto, and that’s just the start of the grossness. A newsflash on TV reveals that hairballs are rising in value, so Stimpy tries to make precious hairballs by licking his and other people’s hair to create more and cash in on the craze. - 5331 VOTES
Stimpy’s Sticky Boogers

They communicate with him and, for some reason, they're featured in multiple episodes. Having sticky boogers as characters on your series is pretty much an admission that you're really trying to be gross. - 6254 VOTES
The Family Bath
Video: YouTube
In the season two episode “Big Baby Scam,” there’s a scene in which Ren & Stimpy partake in a family bath. That’s right: Ren, Stimpy, and three adults chilling in the bathtub together naked. It’s gross in its own way, proving that at the very least, the show really went for a range of grossness rather than confining itself to any specific type of unsettling weirdness. - 7241 VOTES
Bees Stinging Ren's Tongue

Ren drinks a flask full of bees, which is more of an unpleasant thought than a disgusting one. The extra gross factor comes with a closeup of his lumpy tongue and the bees stabbing away at it with their stingers. - 8208 VOTES
Ren Grinds Against Beard Stubble
Video: YouTube
Baby Ren is being hugged by man who puts him up against his cheek, grating him up and down against his facial hair. This involves a closeup of the stubble and the animators make sure you can hear and see the contact that's like sandpaper on the soul - happy, happy, joy, joy. - 9244 VOTES
Hairless Ren

In defense of this moment, hairless creatures tend to be peculiar looking as it is, but this cartoon's reputation for grossness earns it the gagging nod for doing what it does best - being disgusting in a peculiar way that's hard to put your finger on exactly.
