Synopsis

The lives of two dogs, the overly excited Little Dog (the dachshund) and easy-paced Big Dog (the sheepdog). These crazy canines don't know how to fit in the world, and they definitely don't have any know-how. No matter the situation, their stupidity usually leads them to calamitous results.

Konterr Brilliant and touching
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Marcello (MarcelloDL) What? a Ren and Stimpy rip-off? isn't that cute... BUT IT'S WRONG!If at all, this is a *parody* of that kind of cartoons and it appeals to a different (and probably smaller) audience. This is obvious in "Cartoon canines" episode: the two dogs learn how to be "funny", Ren and Stimpy way, in an army camp (Drill Sergeant: "No cutesy in my corp, only funny cartoons! You know, lots of butt jokes!").If i recall correctly, at one time the dogs even morph into something very close to Ren and Stimpy! From the drawing style i suspect this is one of the first episodes to be conceived, even if it was aired later.2 stupid dogs was made with a deceptively innocent animation style: smooth shapes, reassuring colors, attention to detail. The jazzy soundtrack is perfect, and the sound effects are purposefully unrelated to the action they try to describe.The stories are not silly, but minimal (some episodes can be narrated in one sentence) with exaggerated particulars. They can be poetic, satyric, just plain silly and, parents beware, with some extremely sick or revolting details. Usually i can't stand revolting stuff that I usually perceive as a cheap way to make things interesting by tickling istinct, but here it's just the authors' fantasy running amok. I enjoy every single episode. Nobody dare to miss the one in black and white!Little Dog is the best characterization of a little dog i have ever seen. Big Dog, my personal fave, seems just a lazy glutton, but when he decides to talk... listen to him as a foreign ambassador ("Drop all cares about politics, business, and the foreign situation. You will be astonished to find the world will manage to struggle on, somehow.") The big man and Red are awesome too! gee... better i stop writing this and watch a Two stupid dogs videotape for the hundredth time.Vote: 10/10
chester-gray I never could decide which of the charcters I liked better, I would have to say the dacshund, or what ever breed the small dog is. These two airheads argue over and ponder the dumbest things, like who will get possession of a broken toilet seat, and how to open an automatic door. They figure out that perhaps the boots on people's feet are what opens the door, so they run around stealing shoes and boots from people. I really cannot believe that Teletoon has stopped running this show for the sake of stupid programs like "Billy the Cat".
timmysmith100 Before you go waxing about how Secret Squirrel is an hommage to Man from U.N.C.L.E, Get Smart etc., just know that it's a remake of a '60s cartoon called (oddly enough) Secret Squirrel. Hey, his original sidekick was even Morocco Mole. That's the problem with you kids today, you think everything is new.
king jay 2 Stupid Dogs deserves better than simply being called a Ren and Simpy copy. It is in actuality one of the more original cartoon series of the past twenty years. Visually, as designed by Craig McCracken (of Powerpuff Girls fame), this show introduced a new style which has since been seen on almost every other show produced by Hannah-Barbera and Cartoon Network, such as Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo. The style harkens back to the simplified sixties, with its modernist architecture and industrial design, its costumes and its UPA inspired characters which contain as few lines as possible and are undoubtedly 2-d. Many of the stories also are throwbacks to the sixties mentality, especially the episode with a suspiciously Brady Bunch looking family (complete with a musical number), and the middle cartoon Super Secret Secret Squirrel, which is a wonderful parody of all those sixties secret agent movies and tv shows (Man from UNCLE, the Prisoner, James Bond, Our Man Flint, The Avengers, etc). This show deserves to be mentioned as being as important and influential a cartoon as DuckTales, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman:The Animated Series, and, yes, Ren and Stimpy. It deserves a closer look!
