#ROCKO MODERN LIFE ANIMAL SERIES#
I watched a good lot of it and still think fondly of some episodes (“Wacky Delly” is one of the best episodes of animated television ever made) but I lost touch with the series after a point and never saw it through to the finale. It’s here I should mention that I am not a do-or-die Rocko fan. Bighead taking the entire Conglom-O building on vacation by driving it away like a car, has stuck with me to this day. For example, the total bizarreness of the season 2 episode, “She’s the Toad,” which ends with Mrs. It also developed its own unique brand of strangeness. Where Ren & Stimpy seemed to be foremost about disturbing and grossing viewers out (not that there’s anything wrong with that), these aspects of Rocko’s Modern Life were just seasoning for pointed satire about, well, modern life. However, Rocko gradually demonstrated it was doing something pretty different.

It was initially tough to shake the feeling that Nick had cynically picked up a lesser Ren & Stimpy-a rip-off to satiate fans of that sort of thing. Originally premiering on Nickelodeon not long after the network’s The Ren & Stimpy Show began to noticeably decline in quality, Rocko’s Modern Life was another show starring anthropomorphic animals and packed with gross-out sight gags and sly adult humor. This Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling review endeavors to avoid spoilers, but does broadly touch upon major themes of the movie.
