The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen
episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show
"The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen" is the nineteenth episode and season finale of the second season of The Ren & Stimpy Show. It originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 23, 1993, and is the final episode to be aired with input from Spümcø.
Plot
Ren and Stimpy are members of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen in 1856, a satire of the 1874 March West of the Northwest Mounted Police. Its motto is "We always get our butts kicked!" Jasper, a character from "Big House Blues", serves as their superior. Ren is unenthusiastic but Stimpy is committed to the ideal future they strive for; they get the job after Stimpy bribes Jasper with 5 dollars from Ren. The rest of the recruits hide behind the women and are thus allowed to stay in "shame" (they do not care), while Ren slaps Stimpy for his stupidity.
The duo are sent out on a pointless mission riding their ungainly yaks to find land for people to settle, in a climate with complete disregard for the actual geography of Canada. They trek month by month, during which Ren gets sick that he requires medicinal leech treatment and get shot with arrows by First Nations. They are attacked by the world's smallest primate, the Kodiak marmoset; get help from a nearby settlement; and are struck by lightning.
The duo trek into a jungle, where they are stung by mosquitoes; Ren tries to drink from their water bottle, only to find that it had been populated by bees, who sting his tongue.
