2 Stupid Dogs is an American animated television series created by Donovan Cook and produced by Hanna-Barbera and Turner Program Services that originally ran from September 5, 1993 to February 13, 1995 on TBS. The series lasted for two seasons, with a total of twenty Six episodes.
The show's main segments feature two unnamed dogs, called "The Big Dog" and "The Little Dog" in the credits (voiced by Brad Garrett and Mark Schiff, respectively). Reruns are played on Cartoon Network's classic animation network Boomerang. 2 Stupid Dogs was shown on CBBC in the UK.
The show has been described as "Hanna-Barbera's answer to Ren and Stimpy", a hit show that premiered two years earlier in 1991 on Nickelodeon. Like Ren and Stimpy, the Dogs characters are not very bright, the show is scored with jazz music, and the comedy style leans on gross-out body-secretion humor. Asked about the comparison, Hanna-Barbera CEO Fred Seibert was unconcerned, saying that it was "like Pearl Jam worrying about being compared to Nirvana."
Plot[]
2 Stupid Dogs is about a big dog and a little dog, who aren't very smart as the title explains, and their everyday misadventures, with an animation style unusual for the time: a very flat, simplistic style similar to early Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the '50s and '60s, but with early '90s humor and sensibility.
In addition, the Big Dog talks much less than the Little Dog does and most of the time, the Little Dog talks about food. It also did not have a series structure, similar to many humorous cartoons and sitcoms. The show did not follow a continuous storyline — what happens in one episode has little to no effect on another. 2 Stupid Dogs had very brief sexual innuendos, as did other cartoons at the time, such as Rocko's Modern Life.
