"A Scooter For Yaksmas" is the nineteenth episode of Season 5 of The Ren & Stimpy Show, which aired on December 16, 1995. It is the final episode of the Nickelodeon run, marked as the official series finale.
Characters[]
Summary[]
It is Yaksmas season, spoofing Christmas, and Stimpy is eager to have his own scooter for the holiday.
Plot[]
The episode begins with Stimpy getting paid in fudge pop sticks (with a half-stick Yaksmas bonus). He returns home and tries to convince Ren to buy him a scooter for Yaksman with not-too-subtle hints. Then he begins decorating the house for Yaksmas, despite Ren's insistence that Stinky Whizzleteats doesn't exist. The next morning, the two exchange gifts. Stimpy gives Ren a jewel-encrusted statue of the Queen of England (because Ren sent him a threatening note that said "Buy me Queen or Die"). Ren, however, only gives Stimpy a box of fudge pop sticks (even though he has hundreds of boxes of them already). Triggered and heartbroken, Stimpy leaves the house to go look at the scooter he wanted. He accidentally breaks the store's window glass by pounding his fists against it and the scooter falls off its display and into his arms. An old woman witnesses this and mistakes Stimpy for being a thief. On the run from the law, Stimpy decides that only one person can save him: Stinky Whizzleteats. He goes to see Stinky at the West Pole Motel and discovers that Ren bought him the scooter after all, but Stinky didn't deliver it. Stimpy leaves the mangled scooter at Stinky's apartment and takes the brand-new one Ren bought him. Soon after, the police burst into the apartment and Stinky is accused of stealing the scooter that Stimpy left.
Trivia/Goofs[]
- This episode is the last one that aired in 1995. It was originally intended to be the series finale, but Nickelodeon initially refused to air "Sammy and Me" and "The Last Temptation", and the two episodes premiered on MTV almost a year later, becoming the unofficial series finale.
- This is the last special of the original series.
- This is the last 22 minute two-part episode for the original. However, Adult Party Cartoon has all of the episodes being two-part episodes, with the exception of "Altruists" because it was split into four parts.
- This episode is the second Christmas episode in the series, with the first being "Son of Stimpy" from Season 2. Plus, it's the last Christmas special of the series, since the show ended with the last two episodes airing on MTV in 1996.
- This episode is the only special in Season 5. Season 4 also had only one special, being "Hermit Ren".
- The Yaksmas song originally came from the 1993 Crock O' Christmas album.
- This was the last episode to air on Nick until Sammy and Me, which made its network debut in 2000.
- This is the last episode to have a segment after an episode.
- The main episode is the only instance where Rough Draft Studios did their own digital coloring (instead of having it done by US Animation). The segments afterward were animated at Toon-Us-In and Yeson Entertainment using hand-painted cel animation.
- This is one of the few episodes in which Ren doesn't have a breakdown of some sort.
- When Stimpy sees the two children, the little boy has a five o'clock shadow. When the boy says "Hey look, it's that fat stupid guy!", his shadow disappears.
- When Stimpy starts banging on the bike store window and saying "It's not fair!", his hat is missing.
Yaksmas Song (Lyrics)[]
It's a Whizzleteats kind of season, it's a special holiday
The night air smells of sausage and rancid curds and whey
The pickled chicken livers are all laid out with care
In hopes that old Saint Whizzleteats will rub them in his hair
He comes a hurlin' in his souped-up sausage cart
With a great big bag of pre-chewed gum and a hubcap o'er his heart
It's a Whizzleteats kind of morning and we jump out of our beds
And we tumble down the staircase, landing on our heads
We wolf down meat by-products and choke down pre-chewed gum
Good ol' Stinky Whizzleteats, he always leaves us some
His suit is made of donkey hide and it smells like stinky feet
And that is how he got the name of good ol' Stinky Whizzleteats
(Whistling Chorus)
He comes a hurlin' on his souped-up sausage cart
With a great big bag of pre-chewed gum and a hubcap o'er his heart
Sing it, kids!
Over his heart
It's a Whizzleteats kind of morning, and we jump out of our beds
And we tumble down the staircase, landing on our heads
We wolf down meat by-products and choke down pre-chewed gum
Good ol' Stinky Whizzleteats, he always leaves us some
There goes ol' Stinky now, on his hot-rod knockwurst sled
With a twinkle in his bloodshot eye and a pork chop on his head
