Rocko is a wallaby who has moved from his native Australia to the United States. But life in the United States isn't as idyllic as he had hoped it would be, for he is surrounded by annoying neighbors, tons of laundry, and life's issues in general. By Rocko's side to help him over the obstacles and through the challenges life throws at him are his best friend Heffer (a dim-witted bovine), his canine companion Spunky, and his neurotic buddy Filburt.
Rocko — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rocko's thoroughly Modern Life applies a skeptical eye toward creature comforts and social niceties, making for a highly subversive animated series that comfortably functions as both satirical pop art and a zany entertainment for children.

Rocko was really a show about how to navigate the adult world; one that could be appreciated by kids for its slapstick humor and absurdity, but had even more to say to young adult. Go to Full Review
Ben Travers IndieWire 02/06/2019
The cult favorite was self-aware, sharp, and introduced the world to impeccable talents like Tom Kenny and Carlos Alazraqui. Go to Full Review

Gen Xer ennui was everywhere on TV in the 1990s; nowhere did it look quite like Joe Murray's offbeat cartoon Rocko's Modern Life. Go to Full Review
Bryan Hickman What Culture 02/07/2019
It's a testament to the writers and animators that a show that is essentially about suburban angst can be so fun. Go to Full Review

Rocko's Modern Life was smart too, blending kid-friendly cartoon animation with biting satire, social commentary, and some surprisingly adult humor. Go to Full Review

Besides maybe Ren & Stimpy, Rocko was also the show most likely to include jokes that went waaaaay over your head as a kid, making it even more fun to watch as an adult. Go to Full Review
