"Sven Hoek" begins with Ren's frustration at the lack of intellectual stimulation around his house. His conversation with Stimpy are completely devoid of any challenge for him - he, in Ren's eyes, is a drooling idiotic cat. We then see Ren glare promisingly at a photograph of his cousin, Sven.
Of course, all this build-up and expectation can only be false for Ren, and when Sven arrives, the promise of any "stimulation" for Ren is lost when we see Sven stupidly facing the wrong way when the door is opened.
Throughout the episode, Ren is portrayed as the working man. We see him arrive home from work only to be confronted with a pair of childish imbeciles, who have been busy defacing his house and his possessions. Sven is Stimpy in every way.
The climax involves a hilariously titled board-game, mixed with a very disturbing (and decidedly child unfriendly) scene where Ren threatens the two with various kinds of torture. (I noticed an added scene here on my "Unleashed DVD"). This episode is great stuff.
