Summary[]
Stimpy has a friend in his face (like a tick), and Ren ends up with the friend's friend, which starts to annoy him to no end.
Plot[]
Ren tries to fall asleep, but was woken up by Stimpy next to the fridge, who shoves food in his ear. Ren is confused by Stimpy's claim that he has a friend in his face, a friendly parasite named Choo-Choo Nong-Nong Head, who eats a banana and waves at Ren. Ren thinks it's a dream and flutters away to bed, while Stimpy's ear burps the food out. While Ren and Stimpy sleeping on the bed, Nooney Bratweiler, Choo-Choo’s cousin, comes from telephone to stay with her. She persuades to him to move onto Ren's face. Ren is notably annoyed by serving as an unwilling host (loud music, wrestling with pig, growing ticks and pests, partys), and tries hard to get rid of the parasite to no avail. The Fire Chief puts out a fire started on Ren's face by the parasite. Ren's face is worn down that it must "torn down" or turned into a condominium tower for parasites.

Trivia[]
- The house at the beginning of the episode is a parody of the Flintstones' house.
- An episode of SpongeBob named "House Worming" is very similar to this episode, because it uses the idea of small creatures in the body of a large creature that the large character is trying to get rid of due to annoyance.
- The voice of Nooney Bratweiler was provided by the storyboard artist of this episode, Stephen DeStefano.
