"Ol' Blue Nose" is the first episode of Season 5 of The Ren & Stimpy Show, which aired on March 18, 1995.

Summary[]

Ren hits Stimpy in the nose (after he spends the last quarter they had on the bus station TV) and he starts to sing with a Frank Sinatra-like voice. Stimpy becomes famous and bossy with Ren, prompting the latter to hit him again until the displeased nose separates itself from Stimpy.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first Season 5 episode.
  • Despite being the first episode in Season 5, this episode and "Stupid Sidekick Union" aired two weeks before the final episodes in Season 4 ("Superstitious Stimpy" and "Travelogue”.)
    • Because of this, in Paramount and other streaming websites for the show, this episode and "Stupid Sidekick Union" are listed as a part of Season 4 even though they are actually apart of Season 5.
    • The idea of premiering a season before the previous season finished was later used heavily in shows like SpongeBob Squarepants for example.
  • Ren and Stimpy's song, "Come Fry With Me," is an obvious parody of Frank Sinatra's big hit song, "Come Fly With Me".
  • Stimpy becomes a Frank Sinatra-like singer in this episode, nicknamed "Ol' Blue Nose", a parody of Frank Sinatra's nickname, "Ol' Blue Eyes". He was also addressed as "Snotra", a parody of Sinatra.
    • Stimpy's nose turns out to be sentient and really was responsible for Stimpy's singing talent.
  • This episode has Ren and Stimpy switching roles. Stimpy becomes the bossy one when he becomes a famous singer and Ren starts serving him, especially cooking his dinner instead of the other way around like in most other episodes.
  • The monkey wearing a cap giving Stimpy a telegram for his next gig is the same one from "To Salve And Salve Not".
  • The old man from An Abe Divided makes a cameo when Snotra goes to "Geezer World"
  • In this episode, Ren and Stimpy live in their trailer, perhaps their most iconic home.
  • This is the only episode written by Billy West.
  • Sound editor Brian Mendelsohn provided one line for Ren when Billy West wasn't available: "Here's your pasta,Big Shot!"
