Static Cling shows that Joe Murray hasn't lost his touch at all. Highlights include:
- The opening narration explaining what happened since the ending of the original series appears to be done by a woman with a British accent, but it quickly turns out to actually be Really Really Big Man narrating.
- Turns out the gang didn't have to spend the last 20-plus years floating in space, for Hef had the rocket's remote control in his butt the entire time.Heff: *in response to Filburt's anger* Well, it's not like I can look at my own butt!!
- Captain Compost Heap singing the "R-E-C-Y-C-L-E" song just before being crushed by Rocko's house returning from space.
- Upon returning home, the main characters run happily outside, with Filburt shouting "Let's frolic innocently in nature!"
- "I don't think we're in the 90s anymore..." The camera then zooms out to show how much O-Town has changed in 20 years.
- Rocko bearing witness to modern society, including:
- An NSA drone with a camera.
- A Starbucks Expy on every corner.
- Smartphones, and their constant evolution and releases, with Rocko wondering if it actually is a phone due to the lack of physical buttons.
- Energy drinks and their dubious ingredients; this particular drink, Schlamo, is radioactive, causing Heffer and Filburt to mutate a third arm, which they high-five each other with, while Rocko's skin melts off; later, Filburt gets drenched in it, mutating into a horrible monster.
- Rocko finds that the comic book store he worked at is now nothing more than a kiosk with a 3D printer, as Heffer and Filburt watch the printer make a Really Really Big Man comic.
- Extreme food culture, which gives Rocko food poisoning.
- Modern cinema, including 3D and a Darker and Edgier reboot of Really Really Big Man. It's especially funny when Rocko gets battered by Big Man's fists (and nipples).
- Social media, which is shown through a recreation of the original opening credits, with the immigration department guy from "Kiss Me, I'm Foreign", Ed Bighead's Conglom-O supervisor, and Peaches the Grim Reaper trying to smack him with Facebook dislike signs, not to mention several shady-looking cameras watching him, another Take That! towards the NSA and their monitoring, and a smartphone with a candy puzzle game, a Shout-Out to Candy Crush Saga.
- All of this leads Rocko to come to the conclusion that "the 21st Century is a very dangerous century".
- The updated version of the show's original opening, especially the sign that read "Real World" now reading "Reboot" and Rocko getting hit on the head by signs depicting "dislike" icons.
- To help promote the trailer, Rocko and Bev revisited a very memetic phone call...
- Turns out that Grampa Wolfe is now a ghost (and complains about it)note , and he took over a lawn gnome.
- The Chameleon Brothers' version of The Fatheads is quite funny, although for the wrong reasons.
- Mr. Dupette's reaction; He calmy asks Ed to open a window, which Ed does. Dupette then shoves the Chameleon Brothers' team of worms out of it.
- A deliveryman sends Spunky some mops, calling him a "sicko".
- After finding Ralph, or rather, Rachel out in the Sahara, it turns out she's been selling Fathead ice cream bars. Problem is, they look almost nothing like the actual characters.
