* TheWoobie: Yeh gods the [[CosmicPlaything universe loves to kick him around]] and 99% of the time Rocko has done nothing to warrant his bad luck and most of the time he's just trying to live his life in peace. Considering what a NiceGuy he is, some of the bad things that happen to him through no fault of his own can tread into TearJerker territory. That said...
** IronWoobie: No matter how badly to world treats Rocko, he's determined to fulfill his obligations to his friends and live the best he can. He never feels sorry for himself or looks for someone to blame. Barring the very few times he hits the RageBreakingPoint he remains his upbeat and positive self. This is one of the reasons he's so well liked by others.

* ButtMonkey: He can be this as Rocko as things tend to give Filburt nausea which is a RunningGag as he always says "I'm nauseous".
** In "Fortune Cookie", he opens his fortune saying "Bad luck and extreme misfortune will infest your pathetic soul for all eternity.", and it causes many misfortunes for him.

* {{Fanservice}}: He seems to have this (or at least an InUniverse variant of it) as one of his [[RunningGag running gags]] despite not actually being designed for it; especially notable examples include him being filmed walking down a staircase while naked in "Camera Shy", stripping himself naked in order to become able to enter the "nude beach" in "Sand In Your Navel", and even becoming an underwear model in "Seat To Stardom".
