** At the end the out of control washing machine crashes through Rocko's room and two guys ask Rocko if he's seen a washer go by, he nonchalantly points in the direction of the gaping hole.

** The intro to ''The Fatheads'' is downright nonsensical: it begins with [[{{Pun}} two pigs on a blanket]] eating sandwiches. [[DontExplainTheJoke One of the pigs brings this up to the other one, given what animals they are]]--[[BaitAndSwitch because they're not supposed to speak, which makes the joke funnier]]. After the second pig calls the first one [[TitleDrop a Fathead]], they're then crushed without warning by a cage containing the titular duo.

** During the ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'' portion (renamed ''Hansel and Debbie'' by Heffer), Rocko and Heffer argue over whether the witch lives in a house made of healthy snacks, or one made of pizza. This causes the house to repeatedly switch between two appearances. Filburt ends the spat by saying the witch lives in a house made of [[TakeAThirdOption fishsticks]], with the sound of a foghorn accompanying this final change.

** When Rocko, Heffer, and Spunky decide to take the Suck-O-Matic outside, we are treated to a rather peaceful scene of (naked) fairies flying over a flowerbed. It gets sucked up by the Suck-O-Matic, revealing a half-naked gopher looking up through a pair of binoculars while drooling, no doubt having been watching the fairies. Upon realizing he's been exposed, the gopher puts away his binoculars and grins sheepishly.

* In "Skid Marks", Rocko is warned constantly not to get 'the fat guy'. He takes an imaginary driver's test with a pretty fat elephant, and barely manages to pass after accidentally "crashing" into a mutant moose (who threatened to sue them, mind you there was no actual car involved). When telling the Chameleon Brothers this, they scoff off that elephant being 'the fat guy' and point over to the REAL fat guy; a bulging pig giant stomping down the road with the flab of his back fat crushing two poor souls... No wonder no one wanted the fat guy.
