Classic Scenes from Rocko's Modern Life: Season 1 | Nicktoons 

Not to mention with Stephen Hillenburg and Mr. Lawrence being with Joe Murray on this show we would have the silliness the show had.

YES.

It’s because Rocko’s always so polite and genial… but everything around him is chaotic.

So true.

that's why I love it

Yeah, dubs can get kind of weird, especially when it comes to live action shows. Apparently, they made Reese sound kind of… special… in the Latin American dub of “Malcolm in the Middle”. He’s not a smart person by any stretch, but the voice they gave him in that dub made it seem like he’d be riding the short bus.

STICK TO YOUR 3RD WORLD COUNTRY CARTOONS AND QUIT TRYING TO BE AN AMERICAN LIKE US 🇺🇸

What's your native language? This kind of thing really interests me, seeing how different dubs change characters.

me too lol

Wait til u hear spongebob in a foreign language lol

the censor board had caught on by that point

Muito engraçado😂🤣14:21

Pablo312 without SpongeBob, i wouldn't be the person I am today. Stephen will be missed greatly. 💛

@@sitanddrink calm down

@Ozzie Diamond I was joking

@JeeydianJ Rivera He got his start working on this show and then he made Spongebob.

@JeeydianJ Rivera he worked on this show

yes this and aah real monetsers and catdog too lol

@@treatwomenright33 Don't forget REN & STIMPY!!!😂😂😂

And Spongebob as well. I mean hey 1999 is still 90’s

@@malhaomalhoa7486 an EARLY spongebob

Yeah

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea Rocco the wallabe

you and me both bud

Yep

Mine too!!!!

It's definitely close but I gotta give it to Hey Arnold. Fun show and that jazz was beautiful.

Then you haven't seen the first three seasons of spongebob. I recommend it.

yeah i love this better than the calarts cartoons

@Terminator 0326 Nah, I respectfully disagree. Spongebob is great, but better than Rocko’s Modern Life? I wouldn’t go that far. Rocko’s Modern Life is a masterpiece and is much better than Spongebob in my opinion.

I'm right there with you on that.

same here

Not every cartoon in the 90's was like this, it's just the certain show. Rocko was more for older audiences, even back then. Shows like Doug, Rugrats, and Angry beavers were more for the kids. I think Rocko was more for family audiences (older kids, teens, and adults). If you went back and watched Rugrats and Doug, there's hardly any dirty jokes and the references are references to things that kids at that time would have got.

@@jocelynecupcake Angry Beavers was aimed at older kids as well, which is also why it aired much later on the day (in the evenings) in my country than shows like Rugrats. Rocko, AB, Ren & Stimpy... all classic shows for older kids :)

@@OneKnifeYeHand I don't think so. It's aimed at older kids 6-10 not preschoolers. None of those shows are for preschoolers. Rewatch Angry beavers like I did last summer, it's more of a child's point of view

Ren & Stimpy really pushed the envelope for Nickelodeon cartoons back then.

@@jocelynecupcake how bout we trade math equations?

I'm turning 37 and i grew up in the late 80s and 90s and both were great times to be a kid and a teen

90's and early 00's best ever, nowadays everyone gets offended

Johnlindsey289 I’m 17 but yeah man I agree that people are so soft. Times have changed for the worse.

80's and early 90's were the best, after 97 the world went to shit.

Agreed, sadly I wasn't born in the 90's but being a 2000's kid was the best! :)

I was born in 1998, and I would watch this on nicktoons when I was in first grade.

@@mattyvarnas1736 I was born in 2002 and same here :)

I am born in 2006 and yet I love Rocko.

And Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swamp" Marsh (co creators of "Phineas and Ferb" and "Milo Murphy's Law")

Koral Davis they also did Family Guy and Spongebob too

Bigrion16 It’s like the precursor to that Reef Blower episode

And tom Kenny was heffer

Spongebob is better

Rocko of course....

Heffer. I love eating.

Rocko!

“Tartar sauce everywhere, craziest turtle I’ve ever seen! Fish sticks, fish sticks, AHH!!”

My favorite character was always Ed Bighead.

Joe Murray originally wrote that episode as the pilot, but felt test audiences would find Heffer "a little too weird".

@@VahanNisanian great fun fact someone should of made a biography movie of the making of this cartoon or nickelodeon

yea :((

me too m8 me too

Yeah old Nickelodeon in the 90s-2000s were the best(1992-2010) back when nick relied on cartoons more than live action TV shows the live action shows were good like kenan and Kel and Drake and Josh but the cartoons were better like rocko's modern life,The Rugrats,Hey Arnold, spongebob season 1-4 and invader Zim now these days nick focuses to much on terrible live action unfunny shows like Game Shakers,Henry danger,Nicky Ricky Ducky and Dawn and even worse Danger Force. Even most of the cartoons are bad like breadwinners,sanjay and Craig and pig goat banana and fuckin pig they are terrible shows and also focus to much on spongebob they are good cartoons that are being overshadowed by spongebob like Loud House and Harvey Becks but instead they have to focus on spongebob and other terrible live action shows for god sake.

@@AM-bv8iu Harvey Beaks been cancelled

Me 2

This show and SpongeBob are scary alike especially rockos relationships and his dumb best friend lol

Amongus

"Goodnight everybody!"

Ah, the 90s

I thought it was a kids show

@king nerd It is, but it also appeals to adults as well. Rocko’s Modern Life is for everyone, not just for kids. Spongebob did the exact same thing as well.

@@retrofan4963 I did not know that

Yet in another episode, Heffer got stopped from saying "hell". "Wait a minute, Heck? Isn't it supposed to be..." "Whoops! Censors!"

"Hell" apparently wasn't considered a swear back then when used in a literal sense. Clarissa Explains It All used it a few times too.

Koral Davis All these years later and I’ve always wanted to know how that happened.

Matt Cain it just didn’t really matter then. Kids shouldn’t say it but they can be exposed to it.

Or the one at 4:10

I always wished that Rocko was more nice. In Season 3 I remember Rocko being a prick to Heffer

@@SportsFan-vq9kk no way a person showing emotions, literally Australians are like everyone else

NEW TRAILER RELEASED TODAY!

3 more days!

Watching it now!!

@@mrs.5668 watched it right when it came out it was nice

yeah this is my favorite cartoon movie ever and the comedy cgi animated movies from blue sky warner bros pictures dreamworks animation & illumination entertainment

Agreed

It was my favorite at the time it came out but my favorite now is Futurama. Rocko is still a very close second though.

rocko’s, ren and stimpy, spongebob, and futurama will always be my favorite

That's your opinion but that's cap

@@SportsFan-vq9kk Cap as fuck Rocko not even top 25.

Me too. (I was born in '01)

The shows I agree but tbh? I don't hate them but imo I'm not that much of a sitcom person, no offense btw.

T Lebron “Fook you whale, and a fooka you dolphin” -Japanese, South Park

T Lebron kick the can

0:59 You cracked Heffer up!

it's what became later of charlie adler, the voice of the frogs.

The 90’s were a much more lenient time.

I think they should make a rocko's modern life spinoff where rocko is now a kid living in Australia

@@Blackmoney409 great idea :)

You know, a big part of the show is that Rocko has to adjust to living in the US because it's different than where he grew up, in Australia, but if they made a spinoff where it shows his childhood past when he was younger and lived in Australia, that would be a cool show. I never really thought about that much but now that you mention it, I totally would watch that show. (I have a theory he lived in the most dangerous island in Australia >u0 though I would have to get used to seeing Rocko without Spunky or Heiffer or anybody)

@@jocelynecupcake Actually, Rocko saw Filburt as a kid. There's an implication that they went to the US at least once in his childhood.

eu que sou uma criança de 7 anos eu adoro esse desenho a vida moderna de Rocko 17:02

It is many times better but it came in a time that didn't fully take advantage of its popularity. But at least that follow up film did bring about some decent closure to the series.

@@BeyondDaX You're right. Rocko's Modern Life would've got more attention at the time if Nickelodeon did more with its success. I think the shows they focus more in terms of popularity back in the 90's are shows like Ren & Stimpy and Rugrats. And I believe the same they did with Hey Arnold. But Rocko's Modern Life for some reason, Nick didn't focus more on taking advantage so more people would know more about it. It's a bummer because Rocko's Modern Life is a really great show. Nick took advantage of Spongebob's success all the time, especially with its various of merchandise. It's their new cash cow replacing the Rugrats ever since. You're also right about Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling(2019), it did turn out great and did not disappoint Rocko's Modern Life fans(me included) at all. If Joe Murray decides to do more Rocko's Modern Life TV Specials or a new Season, I'm all for it of course :)

Funny enough, Stephen Hillenburg worked on this show before he created Spongebob, as well as Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh (the creators of Phineas and Ferb).

Yeah I never heard of this show until the netflix movie came out and not gotta lie wish I grew up with this show Spongebob nowadays sucks

@@isaiahgarza87 Yep. That's why I mention that SpongeBob owes its success to Rocko's Modern Life. Because if it weren't for Rocko's Modern Life, SpongeBob most likely wouldn't exist or wouldn't turn out the way it came to be. Because lot of the humor and ideas SpongeBob has in the first three seasons came from Rocko since Stephen Hillenberg and the crew used the ideas of Rocko's Modern Life of when they worked on that show before and used them as the bases to create SpongeBob SquarePants. Both Rocko's Modern Life and SpongeBob Square Pants even has a very similar status quo that plays off pretty similarly. Both Rocko and SpongeBob have a very grumpy neighbor who can't stand the main character, Both Rocko and SpongeBob has a goofy best friend who tries their best to help out the main character, Rocko and SpongeBob has a job they're passionate about and there are episodes that emphasize why they're passionate about these jobs. Rocko's passionate job is a comic book store and SpongeBob's is a fast food place. They both have their favorite hobbies, Rocko loves Jack-hammering and SpongeBob loves Jellyfishing. The list goes on. But you see, that's what bothers me though because people give lot of praise to SpongeBob as this revolutionary show that "no other show has ever done and does as successfully", when Rocko's Modern Life did all what SpongeBob did and in my opinion did waayyy better than SpongeBob. And yet Rocko's Modern Life becomes this under-appreciated show, while SpongeBob hogs all the glory of popularity. I do agree with BeyondDaX about that SpongeBob is created at the right time for Nickelodeon to take advantage of marketing for people to hype up and know about this sponge, while Nickelodeon didn't do the same for Rocko back in the early through mid 90's. They're too busy only hyping up Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy at the time. Rocko's Modern Life is a really amazing show and it inspired the creations of SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb. And Rocko's Modern Life is not treated as the same amount of respect as SpongeBob? That's pretty sad if you ask me.

No shit

TimmytheToonLover I know, right! It’s taking them SO long!

famous nao Just found out that both aforementioned movies are finally premiering this summer! But you need a Netflix account. On the other hand, they could be coming out on DVD as well.

TimmytheToonLover Oh, really? That’s great! (I do have a Netflix account, so that’s good)

Yeah

There's a lot of similarities between Rocko's Modern Life and SpongeBob Squarepants since lot of people who worked on Rocko's Modern Life went on to work on SpongeBob.

Yeah that DOES'NT MAKE ANY COMPLETE SENCE
