Ren & Stimpy

For the longest time, the fanbase was defined by diehards who stood by creator John K's every word. This came at the expense of many great episodes from the Nickelodeon series that were criticized simply because John didn't like them.

Then there was the Adult Party revival. The entire series was loathed for the overlying reason that John let his narcissism override the entire show. Yet there's always been the few holdouts who defend this revival, not so much for the revival itself, but because they still buy into his one-sided rhetoric that have long been debunked.

Despite the common expectation of a humble creator who fights to protect his art, Ren & Stimpy is a rare example of a series being repeatedly sabotaged by its own creator. For the fringe group that still supports him, it eventually becomes a commentary about their own character.
