** More FridgeBrilliance, Heffer comes across as gay or at the very least, asexual. He's able to talk to girls that make Rocko blush, and gets jealous if Rocko finds friends besides him. In a world where people are animals (and he's basically neutered), this makes perfect sense.

**It's a cartoon. Yes, one that has more risque content than any adult cartoon on today, but it's still for kids and doesn't really go for realistic reactions to dubious problems.

* In one of the Early Episodes where Rocko gets fired and during his montage of Jobs is talking on a phone saying "Oh Baby, Oh Baby, Oh Baby" (See the Radar page for more details) He gets Mrs. Bighead and they both hang up on each other upon recognizing each other, a few episodes later we see the Bigheads Marriage is on the rocks cause she feels unloved. Understand why she called that hotline now?

* 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?

* Dr. Hutchison at first glance may seem like an odd couple for Filburt, but they share quite a few things in common that some may take for granted. For one thing, [[WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs both keep changing jobs]] and both have [[NerdGlasses a]] [[HookHand form]] of handicap. Their lifestyles even complement each other, with the constantly ill Filburt (who keeps breaking out into hives) and Hutchison being a Doctor. And, last but not least, Hutchison's parents are also a turtle and a cat, which may make her attraction to Filburt inherited.

* 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?

* Dr. Hutchisen lays an egg, even though she's a cat. This makes no sense initially, until one recalls that [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction her father is a turtle.]] So Dr. Hutchison lays eggs because she's half cat, half turtle.

** The Easter bunnies's schemes open up a ''lot'' of FridgeHorror possibilities. First of all, the whole thing is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything disturbingly similar]] to children getting captured and put into slavery in RealLife by people pretending to be friends.

** When he told the kid to "take a gift", was he talking about [[LetsMeetTheMeat what I think he was]]? This might be jossed when he [[spoiler:screams in pain at the kid biting a chunk out of his face]], but this results in FridgeBrilliance: Why do you think he looks like he hates his job so much? This doesn't make things much better, however, since it implies that the mall owners are ''forcing him'' to be devoured by children against his will.
** Rocko was right. That was a long line. How much of him will be eaten? Does all of him get devoured in one day? Do they have a new Fruitcake Man every year forced to suffer the same fate as the previous?
** Where did he come from? Was he created in a laboratory? Or was he a normal O-Town citizen who got his DNA fused with fruitcake in a freak accident? The latter may be more likely, since you expect a man-made Fruitcake Man to be a lot more eager to be eaten, and a lot more pain-resistant.
