4As one of the flagship Nicktoons of the 90s, it stands to reason that Rocko's Modern Life has a goldmine of funny material.
5----
6!!1993 series:
7
8[[foldercontrol]]
9
10[[folder:In General]]
11* "I'm a wild pig!"
12* Every time Rocko [[AccidentalPervert has a run-in]] with the hippo lady. "HOW DARE YOU!"
13* Every time Ed and Bev have GRatedSex...which ''always'' involves breaking plates (and occasionally other glass/porcelain materials, such as a ''toilet'') with their tongues. [[CasualKink Kinky.]]
14* A meta example behind the creation of Dr. Hutchison. After being told by the network that they wanted to see a positive female role model in the show, Joe Murray initially declined, but after hearing that they would probably start forcing one in anyway, he accepted the request begrudgingly. An executive wanted a lady with personality, or in the more accurate words, "with a good hook", and Joe was inspired.

17[[folder:Season 1]]
18* In "Who Gives a Buck", Rocko, Heffer, and Spunky go up to a directory that has an eye icon. The way they initiate the directory is a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
19---> '''Directory''': Please poke my eye.\
20'''Rocko''': (''presses the eye icon, which lights up with a ding'')\
21'''Directory''': [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction (deadpan) Ouch.]]
22* In "Unbalanced Load" Rocko gets beaten up by Gladys the Hippo Lady over a misunderstanding not once but twice.
23** 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.
24* 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 wants to get the fat guy.
25** ''"AND GOD HELP YOU IF YOU GET THE FAT GUY!"''
26** The driver's ed film: "The automobile: A means of transportation, or a life-threatening speed casket? You decide. This is the invention lab, where they test a lot of things that are really cool. Experts are assembling life-like dummies to test the impact of a car crash. (A scientist puts together a handful of tomatoes and draws a smiley face on one of them.) You may find this experiment silly. Well just let me tell YOU something buddy: It's NOT. Remember, this could be YOU and your family! What you are about to see is a graphic depiction... and it gets kind of messy." (The car smashes into a wall, turning the tomatoes into goo. Students are heard vomiting and crying.) And yes, ''even the driver's ed film'' warns Rocko not to get the fat guy.
27** The following exchange from the final scene:
28---> '''Kid''': Daddy! Daddy! Teacher says every time a gas cap is found, [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife an angel gets its wings!]]\
29'''Kid's Dad''': [[BrutalHonesty Your teacher's full of snot!]]
30** "I know that some traffic schools where the students are allowed to take their tests like intelligent human beings. [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus WELL, THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE DO THINGS HERE!]]" Keep in mind this is said by [[FunnyAnimal an anthropomorphic cat, in a traffic school full of anthropomorphic animals]].
31*** The cat proceeds to scream "As far as I'm concerned, you are ALL WILD PIGS!" Cue an ''actual'' wild pig joyously calling out "''I'm'' a wild pig!"
32** The guy Rocko bumps into that's skipping down the hall.
33---> '''Guy''': Don't... step on the white ones. Hooooot laaaaaaava. Pineapples!\
34'''Rocko''': Oh, hehe... that's great.
35* Heffer's dysfunctional family arguing in "Who's for Dinner?". In particular, Heff's dad's reactions to Peter revealing that he quit school two years ago and when he leaves the house in a female cheerleader outfit.
36-->'''Mrs. Wolfe:''' We were a-afraid to tell you.\
37'''Peter:''' See? I told you he'd have a cow. [[PresentCompanyExcluded No offense, Heffer]].\
38'''Mr. Wolfe:''' [[InsistentTerminology He's a STEER!]]
39** The home movies, especially Heffer's fifth birthday when he gets carried away trying to hit a pinata and ends up [[CameraAbuse knocking the camera on its side]] before chasing the guests.
40--->'''Mr. Wolfe:''' [[NoodleIncident Three lawsuits]], [[SarcasmMode happy birthday...]]
41** After Heffer learns he's adopted and runs off in tears, there's a silence as everyone glares at Rocko (who brought up the elephant in the room in the first place). He awkwardly states that he's stuffed, [[MoodWhiplash then Heff's grandfather loudly declares, "I say we eat the beaver!"]] Meaning Rocko.
42** The fact that the Wolfe family initially planned to eat Heffer, but then "grew to love him"
43--->'''Heffer:''' Heffer! (chokes up) Is that even my real name?\
44'''Peter:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Dad used to call you steak.]]
45** When Rocko is trying to find the bathroom, he discovers a room that for some reason is full of Little Red Riding Hoods.
46** And the bathroom mirror has the Three Little Pigs tied up inside, helpfully labeled with which day of the week they'll be eaten. Rocko's reflection after closing the mirror sells it.
47* "Canned": The two nerds:
48-->'''First Nerd:''' You'll never be satisfied with a mortal woman, because the elf wenches are so beautiful, you'll spend the rest of your life searching for that same beauty again... (''sniffs, eyes dilate'') ''Yes.''\
49'''Second Nerd:''' Wow... [[EvenNerdsHaveStandards You're an]] ''[[EvenNerdsHaveStandards idiot]]''...
50** One of the jobs Rocko tries after getting fired from Super Lot-O-Comics is a "specialty phone operator". It's clearly supposed to be a phone sex hotline, but Rocko's idea of talking dirty is to say "Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby." in [[BadBadActing a half-hearted monotone]]. Awkwardness ensues when his customer recognizes his voice, he recognizes her as Mrs. Bighead, and the two hastily hang up.
51** The ending: Rocko's former boss chews that Conglom-O gum and a beehive appears on his head and he freaks, crashing his car and starts running off to the end of the road on the screen and then he comes back running from the rabid giraffes who run right into the screen. [[RunningGag It ends with the trapped flies cheering "Hooray!"]] Followed by an off-screen director yelling "Cut!" and telling the flies they can leave... only for one to linger, apparently desperate for acting work and hoping the role will lead to further appearances.
52** Speaking of: Mr. Dupet's attitude when he enters the comic shop is priceless:
53---> '''Mr. Dupet''': Does your ''miserable'' little store sell the five volume pack of ''Nuclear Swan''? I'm double-parked and I have a customer waiting.
54* In the episode "A Sucker for the Suck-O-Matic," Rocko vacuums up ''an airplane'' when cleaning the fireplace flue. No one on the plane seems to notice or care.
55** 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.
56* "To Heck and Back": Heffer goes to Heck and meets dark and intimidating ruler of the realm... [[FluffyTheTerrible Peaches]].
57-->'''Heffer''': Peaches?\
58'''Peaches''': Would you let me finish?
59** And then when he introduces the TV from Heck. They both laugh until:
60--->'''Heffer''': Wait... Heck? Isn't it supposed to be-\
61'''Peaches''': (''covers his mouth'') [[ThinkOfTheCensors Censors!]]
62** Heffer mispronouncing "glutton" as "gluten".
63** The ending: Peaches playing with a paddle ball:
64---> '''Peaches''': 662, 663, ''664'', '''665!!!'''... ''(misses the next one)'' Ugh... one, two, three, four, FIVE!
65** Rocko tries to have a serious conversation with Heffer about how greedy and gluttonous Heffer can be (ordering a lot of food and leaving Rocko with the check) but Hef is ComicallyMissingThePoint.
66--->'''Heffer''': I know exactly what you're trying to say, Rocko. I think Jenny Rose said it best when we were in the third grade.\
67'''Both''': "Mrs. Leiderwitz, my bottom bubbled!" (''they laugh [[MoodWhiplash until Hef starts choking]]'')
68** Then after Hef passes out, Rocko asks IsThereADoctorInTheHouse and the restaurant is full of them. [[BystanderSyndrome No, they don't help]].
69* In "Bedfellows", Mrs. Bighead gets very excited when Heffer throws a nudist party at Rocko's house.
70-->'''Mr. Bighead''': Bev! Ugh, I can't believe it! Do you know what that weirdo next door is up to?!
71-->'''Mrs. Bighead''': Oh shut up and mind your own business, Ed.
72-->'''Mr. Bighead''': But ''Bev'', they're, well, ugh, NUDE!
73-->(''Mrs. Bighead squeals in delight and grabs the binoculars while obliviously choking her husband'')
74-->'''Mrs. Bighead''': Oh, Ed. Oh, you're right. Oh ''yes'', this is ''disgusting''! ''Quick, Ed, get the telescope out of the hall closet.''
75** Then at the end of the episode, she throws an offscreen party with the nudists.
76--->'''Mr. Bighead''': '''''Bev!''''' What are all these freaks doing here?!\
77'''Mrs. Bighead:''' Oh, shut up, Ed, and get your trousers off and join the party, 'cause we are gonna boogie 'til the sun comes up!
78** Rocko's reaction to the mess Heffer made in his bathroom.
79** The toilet lid giving off noxious fumes...and a ''lion's roar'' when Rocko dares to try and lift the lid. Cue horrified scream from our favorite wallaby.
80* "Flu-In-U-Enza": Anything involving Dr. Ben Dova and the burly hippo nurse. "I thought I strapped you to the bed!"
81* In "Love Spanked" Heffer sets up Rocko for a bunch of blind dates. When all those failed, he set him up as a contestant for a dating show. Rocko wins a date with #3 by chance, and while the first two are cute and attractive, the third had an unexpected fill-in: Heffer. Rocko's reaction was hilarious. After their date, they're brought back onto the show to tell the audience about it. Rocko is silently fuming to himself the whole time while Heffer talks:
82-->'''Heffer:''' He was really quiet... really cheap -- ''very'' cheap... wouldn't buy me a thing... and the way he dressed was ''appalling!''
83* "Jet Scream". Especially the turbulence scene.
84** Rocko is antagonized by an obnoxious kid who pulls his seat forward and pulls Rocko's serving tray away, then crushes him with the seat, then he runs down the aisle hitting other passengers' chairs with a ruler and plugs Rocko's headphones into a slot that fills his head with air. Rocko finally gets tired of him and puts him in his overhead compartment. The other passengers look at Rocko angrily, then ''cheer''.
85** The plane's captain announces that he tends to black out at high altitudes.
86** When the plane crashes and everybody is evacuated via a slide. Heffer rides down it shouting "WHEEEEEEE!!!", then runs back onto the plane so he can go again. And again. And again...
87* In "Cabin Fever", when Rocko, Heffer, and Bev [[EpicFail completely fail to guess Ed's shadow charades]]:
88--> '''Heffer''': (''about Ed's shadow puppet, which is a deer'') [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs It's either a hose, or a radiator, or a piece of radiator hose. I win!]]
89** There's also the scene in which Ed uses a microwave as a radio transmitter to call for help, only to answer a random fast-food employee who mistakes his cries for help as a fast-food order.
90--->'''Ed:''' Mayday! Mayday! Ed Bighead here! Do you read?!\
91'''Employee:''' Can I help you, sir?\
92'''Ed:''' Yes! Yes! Now, listen carefully! This is Ed Bighead! I'm trapped in the cabin with my wife and two guys! Do you read?!\
93'''Employee:''' Um, right! Okay! You want a large burger and two fries!\
94'''Ed:''' No! No! Trapped! The Bigheads! Two guys!\
95'''Employee:''' Oh! Okay! A big burger and two LARGE fries! I got it! That'll be $5.99 at the next window!\
96(''Ed becomes aggravated and overloads the microwave, causing it to blow up in his face'')
97* "No Pain, No Gain": Rocko in the work-out machine.
98** In the same episode, the ParentalBonus reference to ''Film/{{Deliverance}}'':
99---> '''Hillbilly''': Now we gonna make you ''squeal'', piggy! (''pulls up an actual pig and tickles it'')
100** The scene where Heffer unknowingly pulls off Mrs. Bighead's towel, who freaks out and jumps into a piano, running through numerous walls.
101* "Spitballs": The foul ball being hit to the exact spot where Rocko and Heffer had originally been sitting before they decided to sneak to better seats. Then Rocko climbs back up to fetch it: "MINE! ALL MINE!!!"
102* "Popcorn Pandemonium": ''Garbage Strike: The Musical!''
103--> '''Heffer:''' The book was better.
104** Another trailer immediately follows:
105---> '''Announcer''': It's not new. It's not original. It isn't even very interesting. But it ''is'' coming this summer.\
106(''two guys with a stake open Dracula's casket'')\
107'''Guy 1''': All right, Dracula, you're in for it now.\
108'''Announcer''': Dracula, as you've never seen him before: DEAD.\
109'''Guy 1''': Our mission is complete. ...Get some bagels?\
110'''Guy 2''': All right.\
111(''the two shut the casket'')\
112'''Announcer''': ''Dracula:'' It's been... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Done. To. DEATH.]]
113* Rocko becoming a mean boss to Filburt in "Power Trip" can be BlackComedy to some.
114-->'''Rocko:''' How are you supposed to do that '''''STANDING AROUND IN MY OFFICE?!'''''
115* From "Leapfrogs", when Ed Bighead catches Bev paying Rocko for the chores he did while wearing a bathrobe.
116--> '''Ed:''' (''angered'') You saw my wife in her bathrobe?! (''suddenly calms down'') [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Wasn't it awful?]]
117* "Dirty Dog": Bloaty's boss is coming over for dinner. The first words out of his mouth when Bloaty answers the door:
118--> '''Mr. Ickk''': You're '''FIRED'''! ''(Bloaty looks crestfallen)'' I mean, hello.
119[[/folder]]
120
121[[folder:Season 2]]
122* The ending to "I Have No Son" with Rocko's reaction to the new beaver character named [[WriteWhoYouKnow Rollo]] in "The Fatheads".
123** 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 type of animal 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.
124** Ralph Bighead's meltdown of repeatedly screaming "Never" when Rocko asks him to reconcile with his parents. The style of this scene makes it clear that Stephen Hillenberg wrote this episode.
125** When Rocko and Filburt are taking the tram tour of the studio lot, they stop at the Chameleon Brothers, one throwing drawings in the air and the other videotaping it, while shouting crazily. Rocko asks the tour guide if that's a step in the filmmaking process, the guide flatly replies, "Uh, no. Those guys are idiots."
126* In the episode "Pipe Dreams", Rocko and Heffer are trying to unclog a toilet. Cue fake commercial for a drain cleaner known as "Tropical Plumber". Heffer squeezes the bottle, and a lemon, a banana, and a pineapple start singing and dancing (Tropical Plumber, Hey! Unclog your pipes today!). They get into a canoe and are about to go down into the toilet to do their thing, when they are eaten by Spunky, [[BlackComedy screaming in horror]]. The jungle disappears, and they are once again standing miserably in the flooding bathroom.
127** The flushed goldfish's endless bitching. It keeps Rocko up at night.
128* "Down the Hatch": Filburt at the vet:
129-->'''Veterinarian''': Sir, that's not a she. That's a loaf of bread.\
130'''Filburt''': No! [[ItCameFromTheFridge She moved yesterday!]] Don't listen to him, Margaret!
131** Funnier still is that he throws the loaf of bread away instantly to take a jar of sauce from the doctor.
132** After it turns out that Spunky ''didn't'' eat a Fatheads Chewable Vitamin and thus isn't going to explode ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]), we get this exchange:
133--->'''Vet:''' The vitamin was in his ear the whole time!\
134'''Rocko:''' What does that mean?\
135'''Vet:''' It means that little Spunky here is [[InsaneTrollLogic gonna be]] [[YourTomcatIsPregnant a mommy!]]\
136'''Rocko:''' ...But Spunky's a boy dog.\
137'''Vet:''' ...Oh. Well then...I guess it means he's gonna be okay.
138* From "Road Rash", the story of Ferb. Whose real name was Frank. [[CharacterFilibuster Real name was Frank but we call him Ferb. That crazy?]]
139-->([[OverlyLongGag Hours later]]) "You idiot! Now you get out of here and don't come back until you have that beef jerky!"
140** Even funnier in retrospect; that episode was one of the ones written by [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.]]
141** Rocko [[IncessantMusicMadness finally getting sick of the tape of bagpipe music Heffer put on]], and accidentally wrecking the bike trying to stop the music.
142--->'''Heffer:''' Careful, Rock! You're warping the tape!\
143'''Rocko:''' (''furious'') How can you ''tell?!''
144*** Made even more hilarious when Rocko ends up destroying the entire bike while the tape finally slips out of the cassette player ''without a single scratch''.
145* From "Gutter Balls":
146-->'''Heffer:''' Alright! I got a strike!\
147'''Rocko:''' Yes, Heff, but unfortunately, it wasn't in our lane.\
148'''Heffer:''' Oh... does that matter?
149** In the same episode, Ed's flashback to the bowling tournament where [[EpicFail his last ball demolishes the bowling alley without the pins falling over]]. At all. When he only needed ''one pin'' to win. To top all things off, his ball (or what looks like his ball) rolls in and lightly touches Ed on the leg, causing him to ''turn into bowling pins and then fall apart''. That visual is a perfect finish to the entire scene.
150** Rocko's repulsed expression when he sniffs the bowling shoes.
151** This three-way exchange, after Virginia Wolfe gets yet another single pin roll:
152---> '''Ed''': WHAT WAS THAT?! YOU BOWL LIKE A WIMP!\
153'''Virginia''': Well, Ed, I-\
154'''Ed''': No excuses!\
155'''Heffer''': Hey, Mr. Bighead, that's my mother you're yellin' at, and I don't like it!\
156'''Ed''': Aw, who asked you, chubby?\
157'''Virginia''': Don't you insult my boy, you big galoot!\
158'''Heffer''': You tell him, mom!\
159'''Virginia''': Thank you, Heffer. I'm taking my ball and going home. You won't have Virginia Wolfe to kick around anymore!\
160'''Heffer''': Bye, mom.
161** And when Ed poses as Bev so his team isn't disqualified:
162--> '''Ed''': ''(wearing lipstick and a white mop as hair)'' Hi, it's me, Bev! I'm back, and ready to bowl!\
163'''Clerk''': I thought you were a redhead.\
164'''Ed''': '''SO I GOT MY HAIR DONE!!!'''... ''(flirty)'' Do you like it?
165* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZIkyFS9BpY Fruitcake Man]] from the ChristmasEpisode.
166--> '''Fruitcake Man''': ''(monotone)'' Bring the children to Fruitcake Man. I love the children. ''(a kid sits on his lap)'' Go on, take a gift. I feel nothing.
167* Bev, on increasing productivity at Conglom-O in "She's The Toad":
168--> '''Bev''': Well, I do have a few ideas... For example, you'd increase productivity by ''at least'' 49% if you weren't all picking your noses all the time!\
169'''Mr. Dupette''': [[CrazyEnoughToWork Genius!]] Heathwood!\
170'''Heathwood''': (''[[YesMan dutifully sticks his finger in Mr. Dupette's nose]]'')
171** Mr. Bighead falling down and his head breaking like a vase when he leaves for work.
172** [[TalkingInBed This exchange]]:
173--->'''Bev''': Ed, would you say that current volume statistics this quarter are-\
174'''Ed''': [[BorrowedCatchphrase Garbage day is a very dangerous day...]]\
175'''Bev''': [''{{beat}}''] Never mind.
176** While Heffer and Filburt are waiting ([[ComedicUnderwearExposure in their underwear]]) for Bev to finish making a Mr. Bighead costume for them, Heffer tries to make small talk.
177--->'''Heffer:''' Y'know, [[ContinuityNod I died once]].\
178'''Filburt:''' Yeah?
179** "Say 'we'! 'We'!" "[[ExactWords Okay...]] [[ToiletHumor Wee-wee]]!"
180* In "Eyes Capades", Rocko is in the yard practicing his jackhammering, only he can't see very well, so he's about to land the jackhammer on Spunky. Heffer dives taking Spunky out of harm's way at the last second, but Rocko lands the jackhammer on Heffer's backside instead. Rocko apologizes for running him over, but Heffer says that he "kind of likes it" while biting the grass and looking extremely pleased.
181* The hipster who stumbles upon a melted action figure at Rocko's garage sale in "Junk Junkies":
182--> '''Guy''': Just look at it! The humanity! The anger! ....THE PAIN!!!!
183* In "Day of the Flecko", when Rocko is trying to sleep, a noisy bird keeps squawking rather annoyingly, but he suddenly gets louder, and gains a Brooklyn / {{Joisey}} accent, "CHOIP!!! CHOIP!!! CHOIP!!! CHOIP!!! CHOIP!!! CHOIP!!!", only for Rocko to tell him to "[[BigShutUp SHAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!]]" The icing on the cake is the bird falling out of the tree.
184* During "Boob Tubed" the guys are watching [[AddictiveForeignSoapOpera a Spanish soap opera at one point]] and [[EverybodyCries burst into tears]] over how sad it is. What makes it so funny is that [[BilingualBonus the dialog from said soap opera]] translates to a man dramatically declaring to his love Maria that his library book is overdue and he must go to the library.
185** The scene when Rocko goes to purchase a Mr. Sensible TV, only for the computer that he's ordering it on to buy a big screen TV instead, and when Rocko goes to cancel his order, the computer keeps piling on add-ons instead.
186--> '''Rocko''': I wanted Mr. Sensible! Mr. Seeeeennnnnssssiiiibbbbbuuuuulllll!!!
187** Rocko and Filburt playing a clown FightingGame, with Filburt taking it a ''[[{{Understatement}} little]]'' too far.
188--->'''Filburt''': Yes! You're ''nailed''! Yes, yes, yes! I'm crushing you! ''([[LaughingMad laughs madly]])'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You are. DEAD!]] ''(Filburt's clown player defeats Rocko's; Filburt lets out a long, mad laugh of victory before panting)'' [[MoodWhiplash Want to play again?]]
189** The boys' WIDE-EYED reaction to the horror film, ''Night of the Shaved Kitties''.
190* "Tickled Pinky": When Rocko arrives at the hospital for appendicitis, he's forced to fill out forms in triplicate before he can be seen. Later:
191--> '''Receptionist''': Okay, Mr. … "Help Me, The Pain Is Excruciating." The doctor will see you now.
192** Dr. Hutchison's diagnosis of Rocko's condition:
193--->'''Dr. Hutchison''': Here's your problem. These little lightning bolts indicate pain.\
194(''Dr. Hutchison grabs a lightning bolt, then touches it with her hook, causing it to electrocute her.'')\
195'''Dr. Hutchison:''' Oop! Good conductor. Anyway, if you look at this chart, you'll see what I mean.\
196(''Dr. Hutchison pulls down a chart showing examples of Pain and Relief.'')\
197'''Dr. Hutchison:''' This is Pain. That's what you've got. What you want is this stuff here, Relief, [[LiteralMinded so we need to get you some blue wavy lines. I'll go check the supply room]]!\
198(''Dr. Hutchison pulls the chart up.'')\
199'''Dr. Hutchison:''' Kay?\
200(''Dr. Hutchison is about to leave the room, but turns to face Rocko.'')\
201'''Dr. Hutchison:''' Oh, and we'll have to cut out your appendix, too.
202** The incredibly rude nurses who take Rocko to his hospital room.
203---> '''Nurse 1''': Here's your chariot, your highness. Why don't you hop in and we'll take you to your nice comfy room! Isn't that right, Dick?\
204'''Nurse 2''': Yeah, comfy-womfy!\
205'''Nurse 1''': Here's your palatial suite! Oooh, he's your gown, Cinderella! Now you can go to your fancy, schmancy ball! Don't forget your glass slippers! ''(no response from the other nurse)'' Ahem!\
206'''Nurse 2''': Oh! Yeah! Glassy-wassy!
207** The old patient they pass in the hall: "You think you're sicker than ''me'', do ya? I've got boils on my bottom bigger than you. You wanna see?"
208* "Short Story": The animated cameo by Joe Murray at the end during Rocko's [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "and you were there"]] speech.
209--> '''Rocko''': ...I've never seen ''you'' before.\
210'''Joe Murray''': You're OffModel, kangaroo boy.
211* "Snowballs": Rocko and Heffer go down the tallest mountain on the ski slopes. The top of the ski lift happens to be in outer space, and on the way down the mountain, the incline is so steep that it actually goes ''upside down'' for a brief moment.
212** The RunningGag that [[ExactWords every THING is five dollars.]] At one point Heffer and Rocko are in the lodge taking a break. The fireplace goes out, so Heffer reminds Rocko: "Hey Rocko. ''(whistles)''" Rocko inserts another $5, restarting the fire.
213* "Commuted Sentence": Mr. Smitty ''freaking out'' during the "time=money" scene.
214--> '''Mr. Smitty''': What is this?\
215'''Rocko''': A clock?\
216'''Mr. Smitty''': And what does it tell us, hmm?\
217'''Rocko''': Time?\
218'''Mr. Smitty''': And how do we get a clock, hmm?\
219'''Rocko''': Go to a clock store?\
220'''Mr. Smitty''': AND?!\
221'''Rocko''': ''(getting nervous)'' Buy one?\
222'''Mr. Smitty''': WITH WHAT?!?!\
223'''Rocko''': Money?\
224'''Mr. Smitty''': ''(breaking his pointer)'' MOOONNNEEEEEEEEYYY!!!... Good. So, any ''moron'' can SEEEEEE that time equals..... what? Huh?\
225'''Rocko''': M-money?\
226'''Mr. Smitty''': I can't hear you!\
227'''Rocko''': Money!\
228'''Mr. Smitty''': Hmm?\
229'''Rocko''': MONEY, SIR! TIME IS MONEY!!!\
230'''Mr. Smitty''': I hope it won't be necessary to have this little "chat" again.
231* In "Born to Spawn", Filburt eventually manages to thwart Rocko and Heffer's attempts to keep him from returning to his birthplace and steals a seafood restaurant to use as a boat to get there. The hijacking makes the news, where he's described as having been yelling "[[CatchPhrase Fish sticks]]". An eyewitness (an orange elephant) hysterically recalls the event:
232-->'''Eyewitness:''' It was awful, awful! He was crazy! Tartar sauce everywhere! Craziest turtle I've ever seen! Fish sticks! FISH STICKS! ''[screams]''
233* "Kiss Me, I'm Foreign": Filburt finally snapping at the judge who keeps calling.
234--> '''Filburt''': QUIT CALLIN' HERE!!!\
235''(the judge smacks Filburt in the face with the phone)''\
236'''Judge''': You're mean.

239[[folder:Season 3]]
240* The entirety of "Bye Bye Birdie", especially the part where Heffer dresses Filburt's bird Turdy [[Film/WeekendAtBernies in surfer clothes]] [[OfCorpseHesAlive after accidentally killing him]]. [[StepfordSmiler The look on Heffer's face]] when he was watching Turdy's corpse on the record player playing surfer music was HILARIOUS.
241** At the beginning of the episode, it's made clear that Dr. Hutchison ''really'' doesn't like her husband's bird. Indeed, it's one of the few scenes wherein she ''doesn't'' sport a huge grin and instead looks fairly annoyed at Filburt's attachment to the thing.
242** This non-sequitur exchange:
243--->'''Heffer:''' Hey, Rock, you wanna move to France?\
244'''Rocko:''' Not really.\
245'''Heffer:''' Naw. Me Neither.
246** Heffer is asked briefly to speak at an impromptu funeral for Filburt's dead bird. He uses a variation of a certain PlaygroundSong:
247--->'''Heffer:''' Beans, beans, they're good for your heart, the more you you eat, the more you—\
248'''Filburt:''' That's enough of that!
249** The true highlight is probably when Heffer SITS on the bird, and it slowly settles into Rocko and Heffer into what just happened... until they both scream and Heffer runs off with Rocko, having the bird still tied to his nose, dragged around.
250** How about when Rocko finally has to break the news to Filburt? He takes it very well, explaining that Turdy was a rare subspecies of bird with a short lifespan who actually lasted a long time and, even though he'll miss his pet, life goes on. Cue Heffer popping out of the house.
251--->'''Heffer:''' (''cheerfully'') Did you tell him I sat on it?
252** The RunningGag: "You keep YOUR bird away from MY MONKEY!" And the BrickJoke that results.
253** The fact that his bird's name is [[UnfortunateNames "Turdy"]].
254* "Belch of Destiny": Heffer impersonating Creator/RobertDeNiro in ''Film/TaxiDriver'' while practicing his belches in front of a mirror.
255--> '''Heffer''': ''(belch-talking)'' Roses are reeeeeeeed. This burp is for yooooooooooouuuu. You talkin' to me? I said are you talkin' to me? I am Burpman, give me a merit badge. Give me a merit badge noooooowwwwwwww!
256** Heffer's epic belch at the talent show, which blows out the windows. Also, the fact that while everyone else is laughing their asses off, Rocko is just sitting there in confusion.
257* In "The Emperor's New Joe":
258--> '''Narrator''': The only problem with Balsac is that the people lived in FEAR! ''(RecordNeedleScratch)''... in FEAR of the mighty Czar!\
259''(camera cuts to a random farmer and his horse)''\
260'''Horse''': Hey, psst... ''(points off-camera)''\
261'''Narrator''': Uh, th-the mighty Czar! ''(camera pans to the correct location, a huge castle)''
262* "Schnit-Heads" overall is a pretty hilarious TakeThat to religious extremists, but this exchange takes the cake:
263-->'''Sausage Cult Leader:''' We're bowling for sinners today!\
264'''Rocko:''' You can't chuck bowling balls at us!\
265'''Sausage Cult Leader:''' Yes we can! It says right here in the Book of Bratwurst! (''reads from it'') "If there be one among you who doth not follow the way of the Schnitzel, let that one go and ''do not'' throw bowling balls at them."\
266'''Rocko:''' Well then see? It says let us go!\
267'''Sausage Cult Leader:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic It's a matter of interpretation!]]
268* "Wacky Delly": Heffer and Filburt arguing over creative differences for the show they and Rocko are making.
269** And Rocko caught in the middle. But just takes all the bickering in strides. Best exemplified Rocko's tired and annoyed expression remaining unchanged when during an argument Heffer beats Filburt with a desk with Rocko still sitting on it.
270** And of course, the SpringtimeForHitler antics that Ralph gets up to trying to sabotage the show, only succeeding when he actually ''tries'' to make it a show he can be proud of.
271* JustForFun/WackyDelly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUl6YneNfSo so much]].
272** "I am the cheese! I am the best character on this show! I am better than both the salami and the bologna combined!"
273** The storyboarding scene, perhaps the funniest two minutes in the history of the show. After hours of Heffer and Filburt throwing around story ideas, with an exhausted Rocko endlessly drawing new boards, he finally snaps:
274---> '''Rocko''': OKAY! So Betty Bologna wakes up and says, "Oh, what a beautiful day!" And then she hears the telephone ringing-\
275'''Heffer''': Or doorbell.\
276'''Rocko''': ''(aggravated)'' OR DOORBELL, ringing, and she answers and says "Hello." And then The Salami-\
277'''Filburt''': Or Cheese!\
278'''Rocko''': OR CHEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!!!!... says, [[MotorMouth "I hate bologna!" and attacks her through the phone, while belching, while all this stuff comes out of his mouth while we hold on him for a long time!]] ''(grits teeth; then wrings pointer [[DissonantSerenity calmly]])'' Okey-dokey? Soooo, then.... she walks up to the counter, and-\
279'''Heffer''': HOLD IT!\
280'''Rocko''': ...WHAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!\
281'''Heffer''': Hmm, ya know... I've been thinking.\
282'''Rocko''': YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS?!?!?!\
283'''Heffer:''' ''(long {{Beat}} as Heffer smugly smiles)'' ...Do we really need the cheese at all?\
284'''Filburt''': [[BigWhat Whhaaaaaat]]?! Why you big stupid cow! Why do you torment me like this?! Just let me do what I want!\
285'''Heffer:''': ''(talking over Filburt)'' What? What did I say? I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your stupid undoable ideas!\
286''(the two resume arguing as Rocko looks fed up)''
287** Heffer, to Filburt in a later scene: [[TakeThat "Your cartoons aren't even funny enough to get on The Family Channel!"]] Accompanied by a funny visual of Heffer slamming Filburt with a table that Rocko's still sitting at.
288** The episode concludes with Rocko, ''finally'' catching on that Ralph Bighead has been deliberately trying to sabotage the show, convinces him to just give it his all instead - after a brief ''{{WesternAnimation/Fantasia}}''-esque homage, the show is immediately cancelled. Ralph goes out to the desert to create his MagnumOpus - a giant statue of [[SmallReferencePools the bog-standard]] "Still Life in a Bowl". The statue is praised by a passer-by, before segueing into...
289--->'''Passerby''': Hey! Not bad! But have you seen "Wacky Delly"? The first season, that is, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks before that new guy ruined it]].
290** This bit, after the start of act two when an editorial report shows how massive the show's gotten.
291--> '''Anchor''': ''Wacky Delly'' is degrading garbage. Its confused social morals and disturbing overtones are tormenting the youths of our nation. Kids everywhere are mindlessly imitating ''Wacky Delly'' antics, in Garverville, California. ''(shot of a kid with a bologna up his nose)'' In Ogalalla, Nebraska. ''(shot of a kid who's patterned his head off cheese)'' For gosh's sakes! We've got to stop the carnage!\
292'''Will''': ''(disturbed look)'' Frank, did you see all those kids' faces?\
293'''Frank''': I know.\
294'''Will''': Does Ralph and his boys know they've created a monster here?\
295'''Frank''': They don't have a clue.\
296'''Will''': Frank?\
297'''Frank''': Yes, Will?\
298'''Will''': We've got one ''HECK OF A HIT SHOW HERE''!!! YESSS!!!! AAAHHHH!!!\
299''(the two exchange wooos and hug)''
300* The MisfortuneCookie that Filburt receives has an especially ''dire'' message. Made especially funny by showing someone deliberately typing that sentence and putting it into a cookie, poking fun at the fact that those things, including the negative ones, were written by someone beforehand.
301--> BAD LUCK AND EXTREME MISFORTUNE WILL INFEST YOUR PATHETIC SOUL FOR ALL ETERNITY.
302* Really Really Big Man's "Nipples of the Future" going haywire thanks to Filburt's jinx.
303--->'''RRBM:''' I have ''nipple blindness''!
304* The crazy bus driver from "I See London, I See France" who chased after Rocko and Heffer even when they were on their flight out of Paris.
305-->[[NoIndoorVoice "GET BACK ON THE BUUUUUUUUUUSSSS!"]]
306* The entirety of "[[MusicalEpisode Zanzibar]]", especially the part where they refer to themselves as a big unruly mob ''in song!''
307** And they keep on singing as Rocko tries to get into City Hall, leading to this:
308--->'''Guard:''' Do you have an appointment?\
309'''Rocko:''' This really was more one of those spontaneous type things, you know?\
310'''Guard:''' Uh-huh? Then how do you all know the words?\
311'''Heffer:''' Oh boy... He's got you there Rock.\
312'''Rocko:''' I don't know the words!\
313'''Unruly Mob:''' (''standing on top of each other in a pyramid and holding sparklers'') ♪~He doesn't know the words!~♫\
314'''Rocko:''' '''''[[BigShutUp SHADDUP!]]'''''
315** Their reason for going through with Rocko's protest.
316--->'''Unruly Mob:''' ♪~I guess we might as well!~♪~We've all got nothing better to do!~♪
317** Also, when Rocko asks Heffer how they all know the words, and Heffer replies that they had rehearsals every Thursday, didn't he see the flyers?
318** Captain Compost Heap's hilariously blunt message at the very end of the episode.
319--->'''Captain Compost Heap:''' If you're not nice to Mother Nature, [[GaiasVengeance she'll kick our butts]]!
320** The epic nature of the opening "Spring Cleaning" song gets completely undone at the end when someone (presumably Heffer) farts.
321* The entirety of the Bachelor Party scene in "The Big Answer", from when Heffer gets [[DrunkOnMilk Drunk On Ice Cream]] to him ''somehow'' getting the plane serving as an ice cream restaurant to FLY, and finally the guys waking up the next morning after crash landing. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Rocko also promises never to eat ice cream again.]] Remember kids, this is what a hangover feels like.
322-->'''Filburt:''' Mayday, mayday! We're goin' down like a lead rake, and we can't fly, we ate too much ice cream, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking my friend's from Australia]]! Wait a minute... this is a pig.
323** That is a brilliant StealthPun when you think about it. It's a HAM radio!
324** The reveal that Dr. Hutchison's father is a turtle ''after her mother was professing a constant FantasticRacism against turtles'' at her and Filburt's wedding. Made even funnier when he tries to take a picture of the happy couple and finds himself staring into the furious eyes of his wife.
325--->'''Frank Hutchison:''' (''cheerfully'') Well I'll be, it's your mother! (''makes a snarky "you're crazy" gesture at his wife'') Still "in mourning" I see.\
326'''Widow Hutchison:''' (''livid'') SHUT UP.
327** The scene on the rooftop between Dr. Hutchison and Widow Hutchison, which has the two tilting their heads repeatedly. Then at the end of her speech, Widow turns it ''[[AbnormalLimbRotationRange upside down]]''.
328--->'''Widow''': But I will never ''ever'' be "okay". ''(crunch sound effect)'' 'Kay? ''(Hutch cries and leaves, with Widow stuck with her head upside down)'' [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Ow.]]
329* "Dear John", in which Rocko and Heffer follow instructions from a DIY book on how to fix their kitchen ...only to turn it into a bathroom. They call upon the author's services to help out, and come back later only to discover that ''every room has been converted into a bathroom.'' Yes, [[ShapedLikeItself even the bathroom]]. Naturally, Rocko is enraged at first, but then comes up with the ingenious solution of throwing a ''bathroom party''.
330** The game show that Rocko competes on. He's competing against a dumb bird with a wobbly neck and a can of baked beans. He wins easily, but the prize is a ''[[UndesirablePrize single spoon]]''.
331--> '''Announcer''': It's a spoon! And not just ''any'' spoon! This spoon is steel, stainless steel! It's over six inches long and features a sleekly designed handle attached to a wider convex portion ideal for the scooping of food. Spoon, form Fliegel, the people that brought you fork.
332* This little bit of BlackComedy from "Nothing To Sneeze At", in which Bev gets a nose, followed by it getting infected and needing surgery.
333-->'''Dr. Hutchison''': Mr. Bighead?\
334'''Ed Bighead''': Yes?\
335'''Dr. Hutchison''': I'm afraid we couldn't save her.\
336'''Ed Bighead''': '''''WHAT?!'''''\
337(''[[ColorFailure the color literally begins to drain out of Ed]]'')\
338'''Dr. Hutchison''': [[CueCardPause Oh! I mean her nose!]] We couldn't save her nose! Ha-ha! Sorry... Mr. Bighead?\
339(''cut to Ed as a puddle of white goo on the chair'')
340* In "Old Fogey Froggy", the scene where a severely aged Ed bends over to pick up the soap and ends up breaking the glass with his [[{{Squick}} humongous, moldy buttcheeks.]]
341** The mock funeral Rocko holds for Ed to snap him out of his depression. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, we stick Ed Bighead in the Earth's crust." They're about to ''[[BuriedAlive bury him alive in a garbage can]]'' and ''cover him with cement'' before he finally snaps out of it.
342** Also the fact that the boys were humming ''Here Comes The Bride'' at the funeral.
343* In "Camera Shy", Rocko being unknowingly filmed ''[[StealthPun nude descending a staircase]]'' by ''[[AmbiguouslyGay Heffer and Filburt]]''.
344-->'''Heffer''': He's completely... ''[[NakedPeopleAreFunny naaaked!]]''\
345'''Filburt''': [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment With]] ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment no clothes on!!]]''
346** Heffer and Filburt's [[OhCrap reaction]] when Rocko spots them.
347** The moment Rocko discovers the Chameleon brothers have made the movie into [[LeFilmArtistique an art-house film]] is equally priceless.
348--->'''Rocko:''' That's ''my'' nakedness!\
349'''Chuck & Leon:''' It's ''our'' masterpiece!
350** Rocko's frantic plea to Mrs. Bighead that she buy every copy of the naked tape:
351---> '''Rocko''': BUY THEM! BUY THEM ALL!!! I'll pay you back somehow! She'll take them ALL!
352* In "An Elk for Heffer" when Heffer introduces Elkie to his family:
353-->'''George:''' (''whispering'') Virginia, she's still alive.\
354'''Virginia:''' (''whispering'') Now, dear. Just be glad he got her here at all.\
355'''George:''' Well, I think he's getting a little ''too'' friendly with the main course.\
356'''Virginia:''' Well, Heffer's always been very fond of food.\
357'''George:''' Why can't I have any normal offspring?!\
358'''Peter:''' The fruit never falls far from the tree, Dad.
359* In "Ed is Dead: A Thriller", there are two squirrels at the beginning laughing at the big wart on Mr. Bighead's ass. [[BrickJoke At the end of the episode]], a red squirrel is telling a blue squirrel about it.
360-->'''Red Squirrel:''' I'm telling you, it was ''this'' big! (stretches his arms as far as they can go)\
361[[[CassandraTruth The blue squirrel shoots him a]] DeathGlare [[CassandraTruth and walks away]]]
362* Filburt operating on Rocko's car in "[[Recap/RockosModernLifeS3E6ManicMechanicRockosHappyVermin Manic Mechanic]]" quickly devolves from car engineering, to a surgical operation, to outright voodoo.
363-->'''Filburt:''' Forceps. ''(wiggles forceps in the engine)'' Screwdriver. ''(screws in the engine; gets sprayed with oil)'' Suction! ''(Rocko uses a hand vacuum)'' Pipe wrench. ''([[PercussiveMaintenance whacks the engine]] with the wrench)'' [[MoodWhiplash Silly headdress.]] ''(puts headdress on face)'' Live chicken. ''(grabs chicken by the neck)'' [[MagicalIncantation Boom swati oosh!]] ''(raises chicken in the air)''\
364'''Rocko:''' ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' [[LampshadeHanging Is that necessary?]]\
365'''Filburt:''' [[RuleOfFunny It couldn't hurt.]]
366[[/folder]]
367
368[[folder:Season 4]]
369* In "Pranksters," Rocko discovers too late that his grandma is coming to visit and asks Heffer to pick her up at the airport. Granny Rocko loudly makes her presence known and somehow thinks that Heffer is Rocko before barking orders at him.
370-->'''Granny Rocko''': Holy mother of Buddha did you get fat! Yellow too!
371** She refuses to let Heffer take her luggage up the escalator despite using it herself.
372---> '''Granny Rocko''': I don't want my bags on that thing! Take the stairs! ''(bones make crunching sound when she points to them)''\
373'''Heffer''': It's okay, Granny Rocko, they're perfectly safe-\
374'''Granny Rocko''': THE STAIRS! THE STAIRS! TAKE THE STAIRS!!!
375*** Granny Rocko's rambling complaints include her mentioning she doesn't like Rocko's friends and can "feel their energy" in his house, and her exclaiming she loves drinking out of dirty cups because she can't stand the taste of soap.
376*** At one point Granny Rocko asks "Rocko" if he's "Still in love with that frog lady next door?"
377** Heffer starts to believe Granny Rocko is actually Rocko in disguise as part of an attempt to prank Heffer. Heffer responds laying rope all around Rocko's house before tying it to a huge rocket sticking out the living room window. After lighting the match, Heffer asks "Granny Rocko" to come into the living room to help him with something. At which point Rocko enters the front door, and Heffer sees Granny Rocko is still in the kitchen. While Granny Rocko starts screaming at Rocko thinking ''he's'' Heffer, Heffer has this hilariously overblown MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction where he starts hysterically sobbing before tying the end of the rope around his waist and letting the rocket fire off with him tied to it. The rocket proceeds to drag Heffer through every room of the house, before going up into space and dragging Heffer ''through the sun'' before bringing down to Earth and pulling him all the way through the planet and bursting out of Rocko's front yard. No wonder he was upset if he was gonna do ''that'' to Granny Rocko.
378** It later turns out Granny Rocko was just Filburt in disguise, having set up this elaborate hoax to get back at Heffer for his annoying pranks.
379* "Sailing the Seven Zzzzzs": Mr. Bighead is acting like a pirate in his sleep.
380--> '''Filburt and Heffer:''' Mr. Bighead thinks he's a pirate! (''laughs loudly'')
381** In the same episode, Heffer becomes The Sea Cow, a pirate with an [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent inexplicable Swedish accent]] who uses a paper cut-out sword, with Filburt also dressed as a pirate who uses a toilet brush as a sword.
382---> '''Mr. Bighead:''' Ye, gads! [[LampshadeHanging What sort of accent is that?]]
383** The opening. Ed and Bev are at the opera house, and the scene opens with the performer holding a long note (as would be expected in an opera)...only to immediately segue into "Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho..."
384** The ending has Heffer and Filburt agree to help fix up Rocko's house... "As soon as we reach the North Pole!" Cue [[HereWeGoAgain Heffer and Filburt playing at being sailors on a submarine]], convincingly enough that [[CallingYourNausea Filburt gets sea-sick]].
385--->'''Filburt:''' Fellas...\
386'''Heffer & Rocko:''' [[LampshadeHanging You're nauseous.]]\
387'''Filburt:''' Right... (''[[VomitDiscretionShot heaves]]'')
388* The various game show parodies in "Heff in a Handbasket".
389-->(The secret word is "pizza"!)\
390'''Peaches:''' Okay, an Italian dish!\
391'''Heffer:''' Pasta!\
392'''Peaches:''' No, it's round and flat!\
393'''Heffer:''' Calzone!\
394'''Peaches:''' No! It's ''flat'', and has pepperoni...\
395'''Heffer:''' Flat calzone!\
396'''Peaches:''' Grr, no! Listen-\
397'''Heffer:''' Mean Italian guy?\
398'''Peaches:''' No, it's FOOD! It's round-\
399'''Heffer:''' I-talian donut hole!\
400'''Peaches:''' GRRRR!\
401'''Heffer:''' Hmm... Crankypants!\
402'''Peaches:''' GRAAAAHHH!!\
403'''Heffer:''' A grizzly bear!\
404'''Peaches:''' GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!\
405'''Heffer:''' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! [[RunningGag SEA MONKIIIIEEEEES!!]] (buzzer sounds) That was hard.
406** Heffer's grandmother in [[FireAndBrimstoneHell Heck]]: "I like it here! It's warm!"
407* In "Ed Good, Rocko Bad", Mr. Bighead decides to run against Rocko in the election for dog catcher. His wife responds by laying down some BrutalHonesty on him.
408-->'''Mrs. Bighead:''' Ed, why are you bothering with this? You cannot win, I mean you have absolutely no charisma and almost everyone hates you!
409** Even better: Ed ''[[CardCarryingVillain agrees]]'', without a second thought.
410--->'''Ed:''' [[{{Understatement}} I do have a bit of an image problem...]]
411** Earlier in the episode, Spunky is sent to the pound for not having his collar (after another, tougher dog took it off him). When Rocko tries to rescue him, he is [[MistakenForDog mistaken for a dog by the warden]] and imprisoned in the pound. The other dogs in the pound tell Rocko about the conditions they are forced to endure, one of which is [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment being subjected to repeats of]] a syrupy cartoon called ''[[ShowWithinAShow Mervin the Happy Cat]]''.
412--->'''Stray Dog #1:''' No more, please!\
413'''Stray Dog #2:''' I can't take it! I CAN'T TAKE IT!\
414'''Stray Dog #3:''' SHUT IT OFF! FOR THE LOVE OF LASSIE!\
415'''Stray Dog #4:''' Somebody neuter me!\
416'''Stray Dog #5:''' (''Grabbing Stray Dog #4 by his neck'') Snap out of it, man! Don't let him break you!\
417'''Stray Dog #6:''' It's against nature!
418* "Teed Off" is full of them:
419** When Ed Bighead starts winning the golf game against Mr. Dupette (with Heffer's UnwantedAssistance), Mr. Noway goes on speaker phone to chew out the Dark Groundskeeper for not handling the situation (that is, thwarting Ed Bighead). Suddenly, Noway starts coughing and choking, making it seem like a parody of the scene in ''Film/ANewHope'' when Vader chokes Admiral Motti. But apparently, the Dark Groundskeeper has nothing to do with it:
420--->'''Dark Groundskeeper''': I don't need you to tell me how to do my job. This is my course, and I will deal with the situation as I see fit. Do you understand me?\
421''(Noway continues to cough/choke.)''\
422'''Dark Groundskeeper''': Mr. Noway! Do you understand me? ''(Concerned)'' What's the matter with you?!\
423''(Noway finally stops coughing.)''\
424'''Dark Groundskeeper''': Are you okay?\
425'''Noway''': Yeah, I'm fine. Get it together up there, will ya?
426** The climax when Heffer goes airborne (with a ''flying lawnmower'') with Mr. Bighead's golf ball and the Dark Groundskeeper has his forces unleash a full piano assault, all set to overly-dramatic World War II movie music. Then, when Heffer's "plane" gets hit and plummets towards the groundskeeper's command centre, [[ReactiveContinuousScream everyone starts screaming in panic]], and [[OverlyLongGag we do mean everyone]]:
427--->'''Dark Groundskeeper''': ''(As one of his {{mooks}} leaves as the base flashes red sirens)'' Mr Leslie, get back to your post! I need a status report! Somebody tell me something! ''(Sees Heffer's air craft coming right towards him)'' What the- AAAAAHHHH!!!!\
428'''Heffer''': AAAAAHHHH!!!!\
429'''Mooks''': AAAAAHHHH!!!!\
430'''Conglomo executive''': ''(While shaking Mr. Bighead around)'' [[BigNo NOOOOOOO]]!\
431'''Golf Announcers''': AAAAAHHHH!!!!\
432'''Squirrels''': AAAAAHHHH!!!!\
433'''Rocko''': ''([[OutOfFocus Sitting at home with Spunky)]]'' AAAAAHHHH!!!!
434** There's also a subtle BrickJoke shown at the end. When Heffer is first seen mowing the lawns in the episode, we pan out to a homemade crop circle. After the golf game, the last scene shows the aftermath golf course with a UFO and some small aliens looking at the circle.
435--->'''Small Red Alien''': [[WhoWritesThisCrap WHO KEEPS WRITING THIS STUFF?!]]
436* From [[StorybookEpisode "Yarnbenders"]]:
437-->"I'm nauseous. I'm nauseous. (''farts'') I'm better now."
438** Rocko opens the story of ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'', only for Heffer to rename it ''Hansel and Debbie''. Heffer interrupts Rocko again by saying they were coming home from the circus.
439** 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.
440-->'''Hansel!Heffer''': Imagine that. A fishstick house.
441** The dialogue that transpired right before Witch!Filburt got crushed by the aforementioned fishsticks house and a giant after Cinderheffer [[TakenForGranite was turned into a wooden puppet]] [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext when he ate an after-dinner mint:]]
442--->'''Prince!Rocko''': (''as he and all the woodland creatures look towards the witch in anger'') [[YouExclamation YOU!]]\
443'''Witch!Filburt''': Me?\
444'''Prince!Rocko''' You did this to Cinderheffer, and now you're going to pay!\
445'''Witch!Filburt''': [[RefugeInAudacity No, I won't.]]
446** There's also the two instances of BaitAndSwitch: first when Cinderheffer's FairyGodmother sees a rat carrying a potato, she transforms it into a ''much bigger rat carrying a much bigger potato'' and when Prince!Rocko and Cinderheffer are married, it appears like they're heading into their "carriage"...only to climb ''on top'' of the giant potato.
447** The scene where Hansel!Heffer and Debbie!Rocko are falling. Heffer screams for too long, and it cuts to Heffer on the couch screaming while telling the story, which pisses off Rocko.
448--->'''Rocko:''' [[BigShutUp SHADDUP!]]\
449(Heffer stops)
450* "Mama's Boy": The scene when Heffer is late opening up the Chewy Chicken.
451** The IronicJuxtaposition when Heffer is on the phone with his mom and repeatedly says he's fine on his own, while wandering through the desert, being robbed at gunpoint, picking at rocks in jail, on a meat rack, about to crash in a plane, is being tortured, and finally in Hell!
452* When Filburt was MistakenForAliens in "The High-Five of Doom".
453-->''"Nice melons. High-five!"''
454** Earlier in the same episode, where Heffer comes in:
455--->'''Heffer''': I just got to see it! It's all I can think about! I can't sleep! I can't think! I-I-I can't even eat! (''Rocko gives an incredulous look'') Well, okay... I ''can'' eat.
456* "Wimp on the Barby": The episode where Rocko's childhood bully Dingo pays him a visit as an adult who has chosen a life of peace and nonviolence... and Dingo asks Rocko to punch him in retribution for all his mistreatment.
457-->'''Rocko:''' ...And that's why I can't punch you in the nose.\
458'''Dingo:''' Oh, please won't you?\
459'''Rocko:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll Okay!]] ''[WHAM]'' Heh heh...\
460'''Dingo:''' Thank you so much.
461** And then Hef and Filb beat Dingo up despite being within earshot of that conversation.
462--->'''Heffer:''' ''[peeks out of the bushes]'' Hey, you leave our friend alone, you big bully!\
463'''Filburt:''' [[UnusualEuphemism Let's roast his onion!]] ''[jumps from the roof]''
464* "Put Out to Pasture":
465** Ed Bighead's face before Heffer ruined it with a blender, because of how [[UncannyValley realistically and absurdly human]] it looks.
466** Filburt doesn't want Heffer to eat his potato chips. "Oh [[RapidFireNo No No No No No No]]! I ain't giving him nothing. I got plans for these chips. You ate yours, fat boy! These babies are mine!"
467** Also Heffer's facial reactions to seeing Filburt being all OCD with his chips.
468** After Heffer eats Filburt's chips, Filburt goes utterly berserk, force-feeding Heffer the chip bag, a car engine, and the light bulb - which lights up due to all the potatoes Heffer ate.
469* In "Closet Clown," Bev gets off the phone and tells Ed her sister sends her love. Ed then reminds her she doesn't ''have'' a sister.
470-->'''Bev''': Well that's peculiar.
471** [[https://youtu.be/qxModJimoOw Rocko likes rainbows]].
472* In "Wallaby on Wheels", Rocko's heart (his infatuation for a girl) and brain (logically against getting himself killed trying to go through a dangerous obstacle course) have a metaphorical fight in his mind. [[LoveMakesYouDumb "Emotions win over self-preservation" in one hit.]]
473* "Hypno Puppy Love":
474** Rocko coming out of his hypnosis:
475--->'''Rocko''': Hey guys. When are you going to hypnotize me? Wait... why am I hairless? Where are my clothes?! You guys are sick!
476** Heffer using his X-ray specs:
477--->'''Heffer:''' I can see you! I can see ''all'' of you!
478* "Driving Mrs. Wolfe": George Wolfe's [[HeroicBSOD various reactions]] to Virginia Wolfe driving his new sports car in the destruction derby. (And the fact that Virginia is completely oblivious to where she is.) By the end of it, he's in a casket that's about to be closed before he jumps out when it's announced she won the derby.
479** The ending: The teen Wolfes ask if they can drive the car, and George/Virginia shout "NO!"
480---> '''George''': We... don't wanna get it scratched or dented.\
481''(George shuts the garage door, which causes all the tools/equipment to fall off the shelves and onto the new car, ruining it instantly)''
482** One of the guys in the demolition derby is a guy on a Pennyfarthing bicycle.
483* Heffer's nonsensical, crazy story of how his ancestors founded O-Town in "Floundering Fathers", a mish-mash of bad puns and random TallTale elements. Even better, it's ''all true!''
