Destructoid easily has the most British users out of any site I go to, and technically, I'm 1/4 British. I say technically because, although my grandfather was from Montreal, he became a citizen in 1932, 50 years before Canadian independence.

I'm a proud Michigander, and I appreciate some motherfucking jazz.

Up to now, I have earned
2 Dolphin King Badges
2 Gold Retroid Badges
1 Silver Retroid Badge

I have been on the front page 1 time

Fuck yeah!

Classic Childhood: Rocko's Modern Life
kwaselow \| 11:20 AM on 12.24.2007	21 comments

Growing up, Rocko's Modern Life was my favorite Nicktoon. It was responsible for countless childhood moments, and had a theme song by The B-52's. I know they used to show this on Nicktoons Network, but they've stopped doing so. They've also stopped airing Doug and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (which I, unfortunately, can't find any episodes of). This begs the question: Why doesn't Nickelodeon want us seeing the shows they made that were actually good?

JACK of No Trades

Rocko, Real Monsters, Angry Beavers & Doug were epic cartoons. Way better than anything out today.

king3vbo

...truth be told, I never really understood Rocko

Tragic Hero

Dough could get rather lame. Way too many moral messages in each episode. Skeeters theme music rocked though.

Rocko was so awesome though. I think the problem these days is that kids that watch nickelodeon want to see action cartoons and sponge bob. Watch Cartoon network from time to time, they have great cartoons like Ed, Edd, and Eddy and my Gym Partners a monkey.

Ub3rSlug

Agree'd Jack of No Trades.

Favorite episodes that I can remember:
- Evil Spirit gets released, like ghost busters as it trys to possess everything
- Heffer goes to work at a sausage farm/factory place, gets abducted.
- The guys go shopping at a mall, it's gigantic and they end up sleeping over in the "wilderness".

I really really loved Rocko's Modern Life when I was a kid, then when they started showing it on another Nick channel when I was around 18 or 19 I watched again and wondered why the hell I liked it so much as a kid.

Thornnn

Man I feel old I watched Nick When it was all "You Can't Do That On Television" And Danger Mouse and Pin Wheel. I watched Rosk when I was like 23 or 24 though and I loved it.

Thornnn

Rosk + Rocko (sorry one handed typing I was watching porn on the other monitor)

shipero

I loved the musical episode Zanzibar. Really funny, especially when the chorus is singing everything he says. I finally found it here.

SourGr8pes

Rocko's Modern Life had some of the best background, sometimes recurring, characters of any of the Nicktoons: The paramedic beavers who always took the wrong guy, the comic book store owner, the fat hipp lady who always said "How DARE you!" when Rocko would accidentally bump into her ass... Also:

I'M A WILD PIG!!!!!

Coonskin05

Rocko is one of my all time favorite shows. There sure were some trippy ass episodes though.

Wylie

Heffer and the milking machine, Chokey Chicken, and oh my all the other things that were over my head back then. Laundry day is still a dangerous day.

Tragic Hero

@Thornn

You're not the only one chief. I used to watch you can't do that on television after school every day. Although Barf (i think that was the chefs name) pissed me off everytime he came on screen i did enjoy the slime factor.

How about Sharon, Lois and Brams elephant show? Only back in the 80s could someone make a show based around a guy in an elephant costume.

bluemeep

Naaaaaaaaakeeeeed.

Cough*Ahh Real Monsters*Cugh

Garbage Day is a Very Dangerous Day.

and i still find myself singing R-E-C-Y-C-L-E recycle! C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E conserve! Don't you P-O-L-L-U-T-E pollute the land, the sky or sea, or else you get!!!! What you deserve!!!

Clockwork

There should be a Kwaselow channel on Digital Cable.

kwaselow

@Clockwork

Fuck yeah

tsunamikitsune

I think this is tied with the Angry Beavers for my favorite cartoon EVER. I miss this show, so much.

I just wish they'd make DVDs. I saw some website selling a bootleg DVD set of the whole series for $50, which I would actually buy if I could find any reviews or something on it. I can't find a damn torrent or anything of the show anywhere. >_>
