He tells him to "gaze into the nipples of the future", as he shoves his super nipples into Rocko's eye sockets, like mentioning nipples wasn't already bad enough. Then when Rocko is cured and thanks him:
-->'''Rocko:''' Thanks, Really Really Big Man. We have all been touched by your bigness.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: Really Really Big Man attempts to do this to a nuclear warhead while showing it to Jimmy, but accidentally hurls Jimmy into the sun.

!! "To Heck and Back" provides examples of:
* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: Peaches does this in a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheExorcist''.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: '''Ch'''okey '''Ch'''icken.
* AllJustADream: PlayedWith; after Rocko presumably saved Heffer from the clutches of Peaches in Heck, as they leave to go to the movies and Heffer asks if they can stop at another fast food place, Rocko suddenly says in Peaches's booming voice "Have you learned NOTHING?" and pulls off his LatexPerfection mask to reveal Peaches's cackling milk-squirting udder head. Heffer then wakes up in his room from the dream (in CatapultNightmare fashion), feeling he should lay off exercising. As Heffer looks out the window and sees it's a beautiful day, his house unmasks to reveal Peaches's evilly-laughing head, and [[DreamWithinADream Heffer wakes up again inside a snack box, screaming]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Peaches is one around Heffer when the latter mocks his name.
-->'''Heffer:''' Peaches?\\
'''Peaches:''' Okay, Heffer. Oh, that's a good name!
* FullyAutomaticClipShow: While in Heck, Peaches shows Heffer a montage of Rocko scolding Heffer for eating large amounts of food and leaving none for him (and in one case, Spunky).
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** This episode features a fast-food restaurant called Chokey Chicken, and while Heffer does indeed choke on a chicken bone, the restaurant's name is a reference to "choking the chicken", a euphamism for [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating]].
** When Heffer arrives at Heck, there is a sign that has the word "HECK" on it. Underneath the C and the K, there are Ls. Then, when Heffer tries to correct Peaches about where he is, Peaches slaps a hand over Heffer's mouth and says, "[[ThinkOfTheCensors Censors!]]".
* InherentlyFunnyWords: Heffer finds the word "Heck" funny, saying he loves it when people say it.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Heffer pronounces "Glutton" as "Glue-ton".
* ManlyTears: Heffer cries these when Peaches shows him the times his gluttony hurt his family and friends.
* NearDeathExperience: Heffer has one when he chokes on a chicken bone, where he is sent to Heck for gluttony.
* SevenDeadlySins: During his near-death experience, Heffer is sent to Heck for gluttony, which as Peaches points out, is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. While in Heck, Peaches shows Heffer a montage of the times his gluttony hurt his family and friends.
* TomTheDarkLord: The bovine Satanic overlord of Heck, who has a bizarrely terrifyingly grotesque set of udders for a skull, is named... Peaches. Unfortunately for him, Peaches isn't really a name that instills fear into people. Heffer even finds the name funny, much to Peaches' ire.
* WombLevel: Rocko goes inside Heffer's stomach to extract the chicken bone caught in Heffer's throat.
