Rocko's Modern Life/YMMV

"Heffer: Hey Rock, do you want to move to France? (not taking eyes off TV)
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Tends to happen fairly regularly, but possibly the most notable instance is the scene with the naked fairies in "A Sucker for the Suck-O-Matic".
 * Heffer being abducted by aliens who look like him in the episode Cruisin. Even though they went into the Bermuda Triangle and went through a time warp, this makes no sense in relation to the rest of the episode.
 * Also, the following exchange in "Bye Bye Birdie":

Rocko: Not really. No. (eyes also glued mindlessly to TV)

Heffer: Yeah, me neither. (and they just continue watching TV)"


 * Cargo Ship: Canon: Spunky's forbidden romance with a mop.
 * The Psychiatrist was shown later to be wining and dining said mop.
 * And how does Spunky get over it?
 * Ear Worm: R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, recycle! (It's also a handy way to remember how it's spelled...)
 * God, that song will be popping up in your head even if you haven't seen the show in years.
 * Hey, Rocko told you it was catchy, didn't he?
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Heffer the meat eating bull, now there is a Dinosaur with that name. Carnatarus.
 * In one episode there's a plumber named Dr. Phil. In the fourth Scary Movie Dr. Phil claims he's really an electrician.
 * Filburt...the Awkward Turtle
 * Episodes written by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh like to feature characters named "Ferb".
 * Hollywood Homely: Bev Bighead. Well, she is a toad, after all.
 * Ho Yay: In one episode, Rocko gets married to Filburt to become a legal immigrant in the USA.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Ed Bighead suffers even when he doesn't really deserve it (i.e. Teed Off).
 * Memetic Mutation: I am the cheese. I am the best character on the show. I am better than both the salami and the bologna combined!
 * Hell, the entire Wacky Delly episode is one big Meme.
 * LOOK INTO MY NIPPLES OF THE FUTURE!
 * I'm a wild pig!
 * I'm nauseous.
 * HOW DAAAAAAARE YOU?!
 * And then you turn the page, and then you wash your hands...
 * Garbage Day is a very dangerous day...
 * And he ain't dressed for the occasion, if you know what I mean.
 * Green Lex Luthor.
 * "Tamales make my bottom burble."
 * Nightmare Fuel: Has its own page.
 * Paranoia Fuel: The episode "Fish 'n' Chumps" where the gang goes fishing, only to discover that the fish are fishing for them using ever more elaborate bait, including the life jackets and ending with Rocko's house being reeled in.
 * Specifically, here. The Eye Take  is unbeatable.
 * Retroactive Recognition: Rocko was Tom Kenny's big break into voice acting.
 * Tear Jerker: Tickled Pink.
 * The scene in Cruisin' where an old guy explains to Rocko about how old people are grumpy because they lost loved ones and Rocko starts getting tears in his eyes.
 * The scene in Sand In Your Navel where Rocko thought he had lost Spunky forever.
 * What Do You Mean Its for Kids: Aside from the hidden dirty jokes and crude humor, the show's premise itself seems more relatable to an adult audience: dealing with themes of job troubles, home ownership, reclaiming an impounded vehicle, immigration and dating.
 * The Woobie: Rocko, arguably.
 * Arguably? It's hard not to feel sorry for him in pretty much every single episode he's in. He's a total Iron Woobie.
