Synopsis
Rocko's Modern Life (1993) is a Nickelodeon animated series you can watch online on iFILM, with voice work from Tom Kenny, Mr. Lawrence, and Charlie Adler.
Rocko is a wallaby who has emigrated from Australia to the fictional American town of O-Town, where ordinary tasks keep collapsing into chaos. His best friend Heffer is a steer raised by wolves who is hungry more or less constantly. Filbert the turtle is anxious about everything. Rocko's dog Spunky is enthusiastic and deeply confused. Next-door neighbor Ed Bighead makes no secret of despising Rocko. Together they live through the kind of mundane disasters that somehow never stay mundane.
The show ran on Nickelodeon from 1993 to 1996 and came back in 2019 with a Netflix special, Static Cling. Stephen Hillenburg — who went on to create SpongeBob — worked as a director here early in his career, and his fingerprints are visible. The adult jokes are layered in thick enough that this plays just as well without kids in the room. Stream all seasons of Rocko's Modern Life online on iFILM.
