The Rocko's Modern Life Iceberg

Rocko's Modern Life is a show that premiered in an interesting time in the Nicktoons timeline. It premiered at a time where the only other original cartoon options on Nickelodeon were Rugrats, Doug, and The Ren & Stimpy Show. Rugrats was a show unlike anything seen on Nickelodeon at the time it had premiered. It was wacky, zany, and filled with hidden bits of adult humor that would be designed to be enjoyed while parents watching while their kids would be none the wiser. The approach to hiding the bits of adult humor was something that would be relatively new in the Nicktoons world, considering Ren & Stimpy was a lot more in your face with the adult humor. One might go as far as to say that Rocko's Modern Life was an adult's show disguised as a children's show. That's why today, on our nostalgic walk down memory lane, we are going to dive deep into the rabbit hole of the Rocko's Modern Life iceberg.

Engagement Hook. I’ve never heard of iceberg videos until recently seeing this thumbnail, but I’m glad I clicked. As an OG Rocko fan since ‘93, it was a blast to see how many of these references were unearthed from my subconscious once you talked about them. The Brazilian Soccer Team reference genuinely took me by surprise, but then again, that’s why these types of videos exist now, don’t they? Fantastic work, man. Always happy to meet fellow die-hard fans of Rocko who cover every inch of the show they love. Looking forward to more of these for other Nicktoons. I’m sure Doug or Rugrats would be a great pick for an iceberg video as well!

[@oceanp.1793]

As someone who had super overprotective parents growing up, I’m pretty shocked to see a lot of the innuendos that made it into a show that was meant to be watched by children. Also, that was one fancy engagement hook near the end

[@SMTH_After_All]

Engagement Hook! To answer your Sheila question, in the episode, "Wallaby on Wheels" Rocko develops a crush on a roller-skating fox named Sheila. The kicker is, Heffer knows her! How Heffer knows Sheila isn't explained (though it can be assumed through roller skating), but they are at least cordial with each other and with the two adult jokes involving the name Sheila, I'm headcanoning they dated before and decided to stay friends even if it was never stated in the episode.

[@infjmale91]

Amazing video! This was a real trip down memory lane. I think, as a child, I watched an uncomfortable amount of this show or it really left an impression on me as I remembered so much of this. The most worrying thing is that I'm in the UK and I am 100% certain all the "banned" episodes were not for me. All of the clips you showed were all memories I remember. There was one where he was in court or something and then his head turns into a fly's (that messed me up as a kid). Engagement Hook.

One scene at the end shows a scenario in the future where Rocko is found in the dumpster chewing a model foot, which someone being in a dumpster is often associated with heroine junkies. Also, obvious innuendo scene: Rocko is hiding his hands in a flank of meat and a monkey puppet.

+weirdproq1 That was what I thought for years, too. But I _think_ that the implication is that Heffer and Paula slept together at one time while Paula was with Filburt. And in fact, the creators confirmed it years later.

I did very much enjoy the video ..... But by the engagement hook on my hand, I have to admit I really didn't know much about Roko's Modern Life until watching your very well written and presented video. Looking forward to watching your other videos. 😊

[@lukeskywalker2]

here for the engagement hook, never watched rocko but it was interesting how many subtle things they managed to sneak into the episodes

[@DuskTillShawn]

Haha right? This show is jam packed with hidden adult humor. Thank you so much for watching, lukeskywalker2! I appreciate you being a part of my KZbin journey :)

[@wioshirakiin]

I remember watching this all the time as a kid. It got way better when I rewatched it as an adult, which I believe is what makes Rocko's Modern Life so good... everyone who grew up with it is an adult now and we can appreciate it fully now. Amazing video. I was laughing so hard at some of the jokes that went over my head as a kid. Btw, I am pretty sure censored episodes kept running in Mexico's Nickelodeon all the time (as I remember watching them several times growing up and even as an adult on Nick at nite, which used to air old nicktoons over here). Also, engagement hook

This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. 10/10 video!

[@itweeb4765]

One thing this show did that they may not have anticiated, it also was the perfect content for kids that may have been on the edge of aging out of watching cartoons or maybe even an older sibling watching in the room with them. In early 90's, it was still a generally accepted fact that kids would stop watching cartoons as they got older. If you're an older kid watching this, you're suddenly getting a lot of the mature humor since that is around the age you hearing about these things, either in sex ed or whispered amoungst peers. Effectively, you have a completely different show than your little brother. Shows like this along with the Simpsons and later mature animated shows like South Park and Family Guy disspelled the idea of cartoons being just a kid thing by the 2000's. Things like the sudden popularity of anime completely burried the idea futher by 2010.

Engagement hook! This video was absolutely splendid! Edited to add: Subscribed!

[@dropedan]

Wow, so much work in this video and you definitely did your research. For some reason I don't remember watching the engagement hook episode and yet I definitely watched this whole series at least twice, except the banned episodes unfortunately. Love your channel. :)

[@DuskTillShawn]

Daniel! Thank you so much for watching this video and leaving a comment! I worked SO HARD on this video and I’m glad that you enjoyed it! :)

Today I learned what a merkin is. I guess people usually keep them next to their engagement hooks.

Hahahahahaha I’m dying lmao. That was hilarious. Thanks for watching, Inky! I appreciate it! :)

@@DuskTillShawn My pleasure. Keep making videos. I think you're going places, dude.

I don't understand how this is an "iceberg" video all you do is go Episode by episode and tell us the dirty jokes

I enjoyed it. Keep it up. This was one of My favorites & a lot of it went over My head.

[@alextrujillo472]

This is my Fav new channel I've found. Binging everything right now. Your Hey Arnold Vids popped up in my feed. Engagement hook.

[@OlyChickenGuy]

This was a very nice walk down memory lane, with new eyes opened to familiar scenes. The first thing that struck me was hearing a very, very familiar voice: "Ickus, is that you??" Why yes, yes it was! Any which way, I enjoyed watching this episode, and I can only imagine how much effort you put into it, considering its length. Thank you. I'd have a lot more to say, but I loathe continuously being prompted if I want to keep writing or discard comment, just to interact with the video. Engagement hook

You thought the legs at 40:10 were two pairs of feminine ones and a pair of masculine ones? That was very clearly a bunny…as in Playboy bunny… get it?!

[@kymboyle6555]

That was a fun video, and Filburt giving Kat the engagement hook was really sweet.

[@DuskTillShawn]

Right? It just warms my heart lol. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, Kym! I appreciate it :)

[@americanhoney877]

Gold engagement hook. And thank you for all your hard work on that video. Quite a few in there I had no idea hahaha. It was fascinating to watch.

[@Unholy_Louie]

Engagement hook ;) Awesome video. And I feel lucky to have discovered your channel today! I watched your CatDog videos and this one, and what a trip it was. I watched those 2 cartoons as a kid, I can remember it now, when it rarely passed through public broadcast in Montréal, and the few little years my parent managed to pay their cable bill. It was a completely forgotten part of my mid first decade; and it's a very weird sensation! I think, as an adult, your brain is kind of wired to forget as much as possible about that stage of life when it hides traumas and stuff like that... Anyway, you handled every single references and themes perfectly! And I'm sure it must have been quite unique to rewatch so many episodes that you knew, but only in part, from your childhood. Like magically seeing something that used to not be there. Really interested to see how your channel will evolved!

[@RetroGaming-gp2ef]

What would’ve been funny for the cabin fever episode, is if they added a reference to The Shining, where Mr big head chases Rocko with an axe. That would’ve been hilarious

[@DianneRoberts722]

They did that in Uniform Behavior.

[@AurickLeru]

Loved watching "Rocko's Modern Life" when I was a kid, and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. However, I do have a few points I'd like to mention: 1. The Merry-go-round commentary was rather spot-on, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the washing machine in the background as one of the "seats." Incidentally, the pig you did mention might be yet another reference to the movie "Deliverance" 2. I think you missed the mark with the JFK reference. If you listen to the broadcast after Heifer changes the channel, it describes a very tense sporting moment, but Heifer doesn't react to that either. It shows more that he's watching the TV simply to watch the TV, and he doesn't really care about the content. He's just being a mindless consumer, which fits in much better with the overall tone of the ending, where all the mindlessly consuming vacuums have destroyed the town. 3. Lastly, what you said about Mr Bighead coming out as a clown, I view it more as the general hypocrisy that people have in accepting one group or multiple groups of people but excluding others based on such things as race, fetishes, or lifestyle choices.

[@Lenape_Lady]

The clown episode is absolutely positively most definitely a reference to straight, successful men being down low. There really isn’t any other way to view it. Esp with Rocko saying “I love rainbows” at the end. It was specifically about hiding being gay. And the episode was trying to teach kids to accept everyone and not bully them/hate them.

[@ashkitt7719]

@@Lenape_Lady I mean, the writers absolutely said that that was their intention and if the episode came out now they would have made it more overt like they did with the character of Rachel Bighead coming out as trans in Static Cling. Which really adds a whole new element to Mr. Bighead saying "I have no son." Because he has a daughter.

[@Plantster15]

Jesus christ, how the hell did they get away with most of this stuff?

[@SBaby]

Probably the same way Animaniacs got away with so much stuff.

Engagement hook: Nicely done never watched the show myself as i was not into cartoons when that came out but I may have to check it out now as it seems to remind me of Ren & Stimpy in some ways.. loved Ren & Stimpy haha

[@kidcthulhufortney1320]

Engagement Hook for the win! I knew most of these, but you still surprised me. Also, thanks for finding the deleted footage. I had always heard about the scenes but had never actually seen them before.

[@GuitarBillCurran]

Engagement Hook. Great job man, Rocko was and still is my favorite cartoon ever! I was devastated the day it was replaced with Spongebob, same time slot and everything if I remember correctly, still not a fan of that show . I got the Rocko DVD box set a couple years ago and realized how all of these subtle innuendos had such an impact on my childhood shaped me into the weirdo I am today! One of my favorite episodes was "Driving Mrs. Wolfe", even my mom would watch that one with me, not sure how she allowed me to watch that show at all!

[@DuskTillShawn]

I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video, Bill. I can’t thank you enough for watching and commenting! :) I really appreciate it

[@Mechasonicrocks]

52:55-53:03 Also a clever nod to the twist ending for the 1988 film “The Vanishing”.

[@jayrob3045]

Wow, as an child I never noticed all the secret innuendos.
