Andy Milonakis brings Ren & Stimpy’s Stinky Wizzleteats to life

TeenNick has been spotlighting John Kricfalusi’s The Ren & Stimpy Show during its nostalgia-themed programming block, The Splat, all this week. To promote this television event, someone in the Nickelodeon hierarchy apparently had this idea: “Why don’t we have comedian Andy Milonakis dress up as one of Ren & Stimpy‘s most obscure, fleeting supporting characters and answer important life questions from viewers?” Specifically, Milonakis is portraying Stinky Wizzleteats, the deranged, Burl Ives-inspired folk singer who memorably crooned Stimpy’s favorite song in the well-regarded “Stimpy’s Invention” episode from 1993. Other than appearing on the cartoon duo’s obligatory Christmas album that same year, Wizzleteats has mostly laid low for the past 22 years. Until now, that is. By tweeting @thesplat using the hashtag #GOASKSTINKY, viewers can direct their most pressing queries to the notoriously ill-tempered, violent children’s entertainer, who is now promoting himself as some kind of half-assed life coach.
