''Black Hole''
Commander Hoek and Cadet Stimpy are sucked into a black hole and as they look for a way out, loads of bizarre things happen to them.
''Stimpy's Invention''
Stimpy wants to try out each of his new inventions on Ren, and after his "Stay Put Socks" work a little too well, decides that he needs to make Ren happy...
!!''Black Hole'' contains examples of...
* AcidTripDimension
* BodyHorror: Something in the black hole is making Commander Hoek and Cadet Stimpy mutate into bizzare creatures.
* EverythingExplodesEnding: Or rather, Everyone ''Implodes'' Ending.
* ICanSeeMyHouseFromHere: Said by Stimpy after they climb the mountain of missing left socks.
* {{Irony}}: The Commander and the Cadet can't board the last bus out of the dimension because they don't have exact change. After the Cadet has set themselves to implode, he finds that he had change in his pocket the whole time, even commenting on how ironic it is.
* LandfillBeyondTheStars[=/=]SuperSargassoSea: Commander Hoek discovers the place where all the world's missing left socks end up.
* NothingLeftToDoButDie: Facing a slow death by mutation in an inhospitable dimension, our heroes decide to implode themselves.

!!''Stimpy's Invention'' contains examples of...
* AndIMustScream: The Happy Helmet, a device which forces the wearer to smile and be happy 24/7 against their will, all while they're perfectly aware that they ''should not be this happy.''
* AnimationBump: This is by far the most polished episode of the first season, with some great animation by Creator/CarbunkleCartoons. The animation of Ren under the influence of the happy helmet is particularly fluid and intricate. Not surprisingly, the episode took nearly a year to produce.
* {{Bowdlerization}}: Some of Ren's crazy poses didn't make it into the cartoon if it was going to be made at all. Shame; those poses are ''hilarious''.
** Also, whenever this episode is shown on BBC Two in the UK, they will cut out the part where Stimpy displays the Cheese-o-Phone. Who was offended by this and how is anyone's guess.
** The shot of Ren rolling up his newspaper like [[CorporalPunishment an angry father about to wallop his son]] as Stimpy is about to put the Happy Helmet on him was also cut from reruns.
* ButtMonkey: Ren is more of one than usual.
* CheerUpEpisode: A demented take on this trope. Stimpy tries to cure Ren from being "unhappy" through a mind control device.
* CurseCutShort: "[[LargeHam YOUUU SICK LEETLE MONKEY!]] WHY I OUGHTA-!"
* DramaticThunder: Done with Stimpy at the start of his inventing sequence, when he removes his goggles to reveal his determined expression, lightning flashes in the background.
* EvilLaugh: Stimpy, while not exactly evil, does some pretty scary laughing as he's trying out the helmet.
* FightingFromTheInside: Ren tries to fight the power of the Happy Helmet. Eventually he manages to get enough control to get a hammer and destroy the helmet.
* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: "It's the Happy Helmet, Ren. Now you'll ''always'' be happy!"
* GeniusDitz / MadScientist: Stimpy, of course!
* GoshDarnItToHeck: When Stimpy asks Ren if he's angry (as Ren is strangling him), Ren screams "''''YER DARN-TOOTIN', I'M ANGRY!!'''"
* HardWorkMontage: When Stimpy is at his lab creating the Happy Helmet.
* IllKillYou: "You filthy swine! I will '''KEEL YOU!!'''"
* LaughingMad: From both Ren ''and'' Stimpy.
* LyricalDissonance: The spoken word sections of "Happy Happy Joy Joy" become more and more distressing, eventually devolving into WordSaladLyrics.

* StepfordSmiler: Ren has a tortured smile on his face while under the effect of the Happy Helmet.
* UniversalTranslator: One of Stimpy's inventions is the Cheesophone, which lets one communicate to cheeses, regardless of their foreign tongue. "Go ahead, Ren. Say something in Limburger."
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While he did have good intentions to bring happiness to Ren, Stimpy placing a device on him that made him happy all the time was a bit too much.
* WrittenSoundEffect: When Ren throws the Cheesophone at Stimpy, you can see the world "Splat!" as it hits him.
* YourMom: “I’ll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!”
