Farm Hands is the seventh episode of the fourth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show that originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on 5 November 1994.
Plot
The dimwitted characters, Abner Dimwit and Ewalt Nitwit, first introduced in the 1992 episode Out West return as the owners of the farm. The duo adopt Ren and Stimpy to work as child labor as their own children are dead. Ren is crushed in the chicken house while Abner "works" on the teeth of Ren and Stimpy by pulling them all out with a wrench. Stimpy bonds with Mr. Horse and Bossie the gorilla while Ren does not. A tornado sweeps the farm away while Ren and Stimpy take shelter in an outhouse while Bossie the gorilla joins them.
Cast
- Ren-voice of Billy West
- Abner Dimwit-voice of Bob Camp

Production
Much of the episode reused footage from Out West as a cost-saving measure. The episode was illustrated by the Rough Draft Korea studio of Seoul. The scene where Ren and Stimpy are in pain after having their teeth pulled out by Abner was censored.
Reception
The American critic Thad Komorowski gave the episode one star and a half out of five stars.
