Bongfish

The term "Bongfish" refers to a fictional, often psychedelic, creature popularized by the animated television series The Ren & Stimpy Show. They are depicted as brightly colored, abstract fish-like beings that sing in barbershop quartets and often exude a surreal and nonsensical presence. Their appearance and behavior are frequently associated with drug-induced hallucinations, though this is never explicitly stated within the show itself. The Bongfish represent a form of absurd humor and are indicative of the show's overall penchant for bizarre and unconventional characters. Due to their prominent role in several episodes and their peculiar design, Bongfish have become a recognizable and memorable element of The Ren & Stimpy Show, contributing to its cult following.
