[edit] Plot

Ren ridicules Stimpy for brushing his teeth. Ren believes brushing is a waste of time, until a massive toothache cripples him with pain. Stimpy explains why toothaches hurt so much: "Your nerve endings are the tastiest part of your body and your Tooth Beaver knows this." In a cross section of Ren's tooth we see the happy Tooth Beaver gnashing away at Ren's nerve endings. Ren eventually loses all his teeth and can only eat mush. His gum holes reek such a stench that it manages to disgust flies feasting on the feces in Stimpy's litter box.

  • The comment made by one of the flies: "Hey hey hey hey. We're trying to eat here!," was actually made by an irate patron of the Hollywood restaurant Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles who was trying to eat his lunch while John K. acted out a future R&S story for his dining companion, former Spümcø layout and storyboard artist, Chris Reccardi.
  • Numerous scenes were cut out from Spike TV airings and the "Seasons 1 and 2" DVD, but is on "The Stinkiest Stories" video.
1. Ren getting ready for bed, then Ren and Stimpy saying "goodnight" to each other.

  • As Stimpy puts his jar of spit in the cabinet, there were 15 jars, if you count the jar he just put in.

This episode replaced the cartoon "Man's Best Friend" starring George Liquor, which was rejected because it was too violent. The scene when Ren maniacally beats up George with an oar was the major reason why this cartoon was banned from airing on Nick. The tooth beaver soprt of looks like Norbert of of Nick's The angry beavers
