!!Rocko's idiocy with the Fatheads
* So according to the episode "I Have No Son," The Fatheads is one of Rocko's favorite shows. This implies that Rocko has been watching the show for a lengthy period of time...and yet it isn't until this episode happens that Rocko puts two and two together that Ralph's last name is Bighead and that he is Ed Bighead's son? Ralph's creator credit must have shown up on every episode Rocko watched before this point, so him not putting the pieces together until the events of this episode makes him look like an idiot.

** Rocko might not be offended per say, just annoyed. It sounds like a question he gets a lot.

Sneak peek, not peak.


* There's something that puzzled me with the Static Cling sneak peak. In that video, we find that Filburt was with Rocko, Spunky, and Heffer in the rocket, but he never got into the rocket with them in "Future Schlock". So how was he with them in the Static Cling sneak peak?

* Why does Rocko act offended (or at least annoyed) when someone asks if Spunky is a whippet? The interaction generally goes like this: the person showing interest in Spunky asks "What is he? A whippet?", and we see Rocko make a kind of angry face and respond with "His name is Spunky." Is it considered rude to ask someone what breed their dog is or guess it? If there's a joke in the exchange, this troper isn't getting it.

** [[WordOfGod Joe Murray]] has stated that the continuity errors in the flashbacks (Rocko knowing Heffer and Filburt as kids, them meeting as adults, Rocko coming to America as an adult, etc.) were intentional because it was a parody of how people remember things differently and false memories. Other than a few [[ContinuityNod nods]] here and there, this show wasn't the biggest on continuity. Most Nicktoons at that time, in fact, weren't; they had to really fight for Paula and Filbert's wedding, which was the first ''hint'' of ''any'' semblance of continuity in ''any'' of Nickelodeon's shows.

* The ''Static Cling'' special takes place in the 21st century, and includes things such as smartphones and social media. Why didn't they take the opportunity to mention streaming services? There was a good chance that ''The Fatheads'' could have been put on one.

* As mentioned above, Heffer is a steer (which is a castrated male bovine). If he's castrated, then how was he able to feel aroused by the milking machine in "The Good, The Bad, and the Wallaby"?
** Also, how was he able to provide DNA to Filburt and Dr. Hutchison's egg?
*** Well, I can't answer the milk-machine question, but the egg thing was implied to be because he farted on it.
*** Castrated males can still feel pleasure and even orgasm. It just takes some extra time/effort.
* It's shown that an accident at Rocko's store caused the pink rabbit seen in some episodes (the one with his tongue sticking out) apparent brain damage, thus explaining why he appears like that. However, it's shown in an earlier episode (in a ''flashback'' no less) that he's had brain damage back then, too. Did he get cured only to fall victim to another brain injury?

* When we talk about Rachel's appearances in "I Have No Son" and "Wacky Deli" (both of which occurred before she transitioned), do we refer to her with female pronouns, or male?

**Thing is, Filburt WAS with Heffer, Rocko and Spunky. They weren't in the rocket, no, but don't forget, they were in Rocko's house, which had the rocket crashed into the house which blasted them into space.
