Trivia:

In the first two seasons, the diner where the characters always eat is "Chokey Chicken", which has a giant choking chicken as a mascot. In the third season, "Chokey Chicken" became "Chewy Chicken". There are many hidden sexual references in Rocko's Modern Life, and this was one of the more blatant ones. It was changed because the show is designed for a young audience.

Goofs:

Continuity: The Hippo Lady's voice changes from episode to episode. In some episodes she talks like Ed Bighead, in other episodes, she has a raspy, more feminine voice.

Quotes:

Rocko, Filburt: [opening the door and finding out it's Rocko's deportation officer] WHAT IN THE HELLL... LO?

Excellent

Rocko is without a doubt one of the best Nick Toons that ever existed. It had a creativity that few Nick Toons could ever match. This show is violent and sometime a little rude, and that is exactly why it is so funny. It's a funny series and is one of my personal favorites.
