History Fridge / RockosModernLife

* "From Here to Maternity." The idea of [[AdultFear your egg getting taken by greedy Easter bunnies is disturbing enough]], but in the room where they're painting the stolen eggs, we see a rabbit '''[[WouldHurtAChild whipping a bunch of baby chicks]]'''.

* Heffer's family being wolves that originally wanted to eat him goes a long way to explain his BigEater habits. No doubt that before they decided to adopt him, the Wolfes wanted fatten Heffer up.

* When the gang meets the person formally known as Ralph in ''Static Cling'', she gives Rocko an off-model ice cream pop that Rocko assumes is Mr. Fathead, but he is corrected that it's meant to be '''Mrs.''' Fathead. This makes for some subtle FiveSecondForeshadowing of Rachel's [[{{Transgender}} transition.]]

* In "Future Schlock", Heffer and Rocko don't seem to have aged much or to be otherwise worse for the wear after seventeen years in space. If they traveled at relativistic speeds, more time would have passed on Earth than would have on the spacecraft.

* In "Feisty Geist", Mortimer Khan takes over Filbert's body. Just as Rocko and Heffer prepare to squirt him with Spirit Away (TM) cream, he is already spirit free. They find him just washing his hands by the sink after using the bathroom. Mortimer surprise attacks Heffer as a toilet soon after. Mortimer didn't willingly leave Filbert's body, but passed out of him while he was on the can.

* In "The Big Answer" during Filbert's bachelor party, [[ItMakesSenseInContext the restaurant shaped like an airplane crashes]] and Filbert grabs a radio that happens to be a pig. [[StealthPun Could it be a ham radio?]]

* A bit of fridge brilliance regarding that guy who was [[FantasticRacism racist against sea mammals]]; he claimed that he thinks all the sea mammals should be boarded onto a boat, sent out to sea and sunk halfway. This doesn't sound like a very effective method of killing sea mammals, but then you realize that he wasn't talking about ''killing'' them--that was the anti-sea mammal equivalent of "Go back to your country!"
* When the gang meets the person formally known as Ralph in ''Static Cling,'' she gives Rocko an off-model ice cream pop that Rocko assumes is Mr. Fathead, but he is corrected that it's meant to be ''Mrs.'' Fathead.

** Also, for Rachel (a toad) to be the one to change (and accepting change is the running theme of the movie). Frogs and toads start off as tadpoles before becoming frogs/toads. (And some species ''do'' change their sex over the course of their lives as well.)

* In "I Have No Son", Mrs. Bighead mentions that Ralph is their ''only'' son, but in the beginning of her scrapbook, we clearly see more than one egg. So ''what happened to Ralph's brothers and sisters?!''
** [[FridgeBrilliance All the other eggs hatched girls.]] Ralph was their only ''son''.

* "From Here to Maternity". The idea of [[AdultFear your egg getting taken by greedy Easter bunnies is disturbing enough]], but in the room where they're painting the stolen eggs, we see a rabbit ''[[WouldHurtAChild whipping a bunch of baby chicks]]''.
** Two words that would make that scene even ''more'' horrifying to think about: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_culling Chick Culling.]]
* It's been implied, more than a few times, that Mr. Bighead is willing to ''kill'' Rocko and his friends just to get rid of them.
* The Chameleon Brothers make and sell videos edited from their clients' raw footage ''without'' their permission. Rocko walks in just in time to see footage of him naked displayed in front of an audience, and the end of said episode has the gang accidentally obtain one of the Bigheads' private videos. How many customers' trust have the Chameleon Brothers violated this way, and how many videos of their patrons' intimate moments have they profited off of? Better question: Aren't they afraid they'll be sued or run out of town?

** Who CREATED that button in the first place?! Is there some sicko out there who decided that the world needed a button that turned someone into a BadBoss whenever it was pressed?

** Heffer was originally going to be his adoptive family's dinner, thus they fattened him up and even placed plotted lines on his butt to show how they were going to divide him (which Heffer thought was a birthmark).

** The gender confusion is compounded on by Heffer's name. A ''heifer'' is a young female cow, so Heffer has what is essentially the animal equivalent of a female name.

** You can definitely fall in love after being castrated. It's also possible to become aroused and even achieve orgasm -- it just takes longer.

* Ed Bighead, a cane toad, has an adversarial relationship with Rocko, who's from Australia.

** Also, for Rachel (a toad) to be the one to change (and accepting change is the {{Aesop}} of the movie). Frogs and toads start off as tadpoles before becoming frogs/toads. (And some species ''do'' change their sex over the course of their lives as well.)

[[AC:FridgeLogic]]
* As mentioned above, Heffer is a steer (which is a castrated male bovine). If he's castrated, then how was he able to feel aroused by the milking machine in "The Good, The Bad, and the Wallaby"?
** Also, how was he able to provide DNA to Filburt and Dr. Hutchison's egg?
*** Well, I can't answer the milk-machine question, but the egg thing was implied to be because he farted on it.
*** Castrated males can still feel pleasure and even orgasm. It just takes some extra time/effort.
* It's shown that an accident at Rocko's store caused the pink rabbit seen in some episodes (the one with his tongue sticking out) apparent brain damage, thus explaining why he appears like that. However, it's shown in an earlier episode (in a ''flashback'' no less) that he's had brain damage back then, too. Did he get cured only to fall victim to another brain injury?
** [[WordOfGod Joe Murray]] has stated that the continuity errors in the flashbacks (Rocko knowing Heffer and Filburt as kids, them meeting as adults, Rocko coming to America as an adult, etc.) were intentional because it was a parody of how people remember things differently and false memories. Other than a few [[ContinuityNod nods]] here and there, this show wasn't the biggest on continuity. Most Nicktoons at that time, in fact, weren't; they had to really fight for Paula and Filbert's wedding, which was the first ''hint'' of ''any'' semblance of continuity in ''any'' of Nickelodeon's shows.

** Creator/JoeMurray kind of confirmed this; Mrs. Bighead was based on an older lady who lived in his childhood neighborhood, who also had a rather raspy voice because she was a heavy smoker, and who would often try and hit on the younger men in the neighborhood as well (like how Mrs. Bighead tried coming on to Rocko to make Ed jealous).
