Fish 'N' Chumps
Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt go on a deep sea fishing trip and get more than the catch of the day.
Camera Shy
A home movie starring Rocko becomes the centerpiece of the Chameleon Brothers latest project, much to his humiliation.
"Fish 'N' Chumps provides examples of:
- Always Need What You Gave Up: When the trio is throwing away everything that seems suspicious, Heffer idiotically rips out the boat's engine and throws it overboard, stranding them at sea.

- Fishing Episode: This episode has Rocko, Heffer and Filburt going fishing, only to discover that the fish are fishing for them.
- The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: Or rather, the fishers become the ones being fished.
- Instant Wristwatch: For this episode and this episode only, Filburt has a fancy new watch that he can't stop showing off. Heffer in particular is annoyed by this and eventually throws it into the ocean... where it gets used by bait by the fish to catch Filburt.

- Oh, Crap!: Rocko and Heffer when Filburt finds his watch, which was thrown overboard, because it's obvious to them that it's being used as bait.
- Obliviously Evil: To Rocko, Heffer and Filburt, the fact that they are being fished is unnerving and terrifying. To the fishing fish, however, it's just a fun day out fishing.
- Out-of-Character Moment: In terms of the wristwatch plot, Heffer and Filburt seem to have switched personalities with Filburt being overly enthusiastic to the point of annoyance and Heffer's deadpan response of "Put a sock in it, Filb."

- Le Film Artistique: The Chameleon Brothers edit Rocko's home movie footage into a fancy arthouse video titled "La Vie Moderne De Pinto" and it frequently focuses on Rocko's nakedness, much to Rocko's horror.
