* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Aside from the hidden dirty jokes and crude humor (some of which has been cut from reruns), the show's deals with themes you'd find on adult cartoons like ''TheSimpsons'' (back when it was ''the'' sitcom to watch to laugh at jokes about how hard modern life can be), such as home ownership, trouble on the job, infidelity, immigration, racism (shown as "animalism" on the show), death, cults, and love/dating.

** Filburt...the Awkward Turtle

** "Wacky Delly" got its fanbase from people who apparently enjoy complete non sequiturs with nothing resembling a stable plot, coupled with really cheap animation. Now take a look at Creator/AdultSwim programming like ''AquaTeenHungerForce'' or ''{{Squidbillies}}''.
* HollywoodHomely: Bev Bighead. Well, she ''is'' a toad, after all.
* HoYay: In one episode, Rocko gets married to Filburt to become a legal immigrant in the USA.
* JerkassWoobie: Ed Bighead suffers even when he doesn't really deserve it (i.e. Teed Off).
* MemeticMutation: I am the cheese. I am the best character on the show. I am better than both the salami and the bologna combined!
** Hell, the entire ''Wacky Delly'' episode is one big Meme.
** [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar LOOK INTO MY NIPPLES OF THE FUTURE!]]
** ''I'm'' a [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar wild]] [[CampGay pig]]!
** I'm nauseous.
** '''HOW DAAAAAAARE YOU?!'''

** Garbage Day is a very dangerous day...
** And he ain't dressed for the occasion, if you know what I mean.

** "Tamales make my bottom burble."
* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/RockosModernLife Has its own page]].
* ParanoiaFuel: The episode "Fish 'n' Chumps" where the gang goes fishing, only to discover that the fish are fishing for them using ever more elaborate bait, including the life jackets and ending with Rocko's house being reeled in.
** Specifically, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNHJcj4thcc#t=5m30s here]]. The EyeTake [[spoiler: when Filbert "finds" his dive-watch again]] is unbeatable.
* RetroactiveRecognition: ''Rocko'' was TomKenny's big break into voice acting.
* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/RockosModernLife See here.]]
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Aside from the hidden dirty jokes and crude humor, the show's premise itself seems more relatable to an adult audience: dealing with themes of job troubles, home ownership, reclaiming an impounded vehicle, immigration and dating.
* TheWoobie: Rocko, arguably.
** Arguably? It's hard not to feel sorry for him in pretty much every single episode he's in. He's a total IronWoobie.

* TearJerker: Tickled Pink.
** The scene in Cruisin' where an old guy explains to Rocko about how old people are grumpy because they lost loved ones and Rocko starts getting tears in his eyes.
** The scene in Sand In Your Navel where Rocko thought he had lost Spunky forever.

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: When the first season ''finally'' came to DVD, it did so as a VanillaEdition, with at least one episode censored to boot. The second season addressed at least one of those concerns by including the original pilot and some new interviews with Joe Murray. He even got to draw the cover.
** Season 3 is shaping up to be just as good. As Joe Murray, in addition to drawing the cover again, has solicited fans' biggest questions about the seasons and will answer them in a new retrospective.

** Episodes written by [[PhineasandFerb Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh]] like to feature characters named "Ferb".

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the MusicalEpisode "Zanzibar", {{the Grim Re|aper}}cycler looks a bit like a skeleton. Of course, considering that his voice actor, Tony Jay, is dead, his haunting voice ''is'' starting to give us the creeps.
