Fridge Horror:

  • Drake's intentions with Marina. He's not the first villain to attempt to force the heroine to marry him, but listen to the things he says. Watch them together. It's unsettlingly clear that he would have beaten and raped her without hesitation. Some people compare him to Gaston.
  • Don't Make Me Laugh. It's barely even circumspect - even an 8 year old would realise that there's something dreadfully wrong going on here - more so than usual. And as soon as you're old enough to add the word 'rape' to your vocabulary, you know that's what he plans.
    • Despite all the threats on her life, "May I suggest you would do best to beg!" could be the rapiest line in the song. Beg for what? Talk about Nightmare Fuel...
    • And then there's this creepy little line: "Don't make me laugh so hard that you begin to ACHE!" There's barely any ambiguity here...he's threatening to beat her.
  • In one scene, Hubie asks Rocko if his girl ran off with another penguin, to which he replies "No! She did not!" without denying he ever had a girl in the first place. Then consider how obsessed he is with killer whales, and the implication he has prior experience with them. Is his grouchy attitude the result of trauma from seeing his girlfriend eaten by orcas?
