Svën Höek is Ren Höek's clumsy cousin from Ignoramia. He first appeared in the second-season episode of the same name and made a background cameo in two later episodes.
Appearances[]
In Svën's debut episode, he comes to pay a visit to Ren and Stimpy. To Ren's dismay, he is revealed to be just as clumsy and dimwitted as Stimpy, whom he quickly becomes friends with. The two also reveal that they are both members of the Loyal Order of Stupids.
Although Svën only appeared for background cameos in the later episodes "Hard Time for Haggis" and "Jimmy the Bellybutton Elf", he reappeared much more frequently in the Ren & Stimpy comic book. His most prominent appearance was in issue #26's cover story, "Are We There Yet?", in which Ren has to drive him and Stimpy to Six Flags Over Jello, and naturally is driven nuts by their antics on the way over.
Svën also plays a prominent part in issue #24's "Box Tops!", in which Stimpy is trying to collect 100,000 Gritty Kitty litter box tops to send in for a new litter box, but only has two. Svën comes to visit, bringing his collection of 99,998 box tops, so Stimpy convinces him to trade him the box tops for a collection of used bubble gum. After receiving the new litter box, however, Stimpy feels guilty about tricking Svën, and gives the litter box to him.
In addition, the album Ren & Stimpy's Crock o' Christmas includes a song titled "The Twelve Days of Yaksmas", in which Ren and Stimpy list the bizarre assortment of Yaksmas gifts Svën sent to them, and he also would have appeared in the Ren & Stimpy short that was planned to run before The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water in theaters.
Trivia[]
- Svën was voiced by Billy West, who was also the voice of Stimpy, as well as Ren in the later episodes.
