The 52 episode rule was what my film teacher calls the most disappointing moment of his life, where he was an animator on Animaniacs and it got canceled because of that stupid rule
But Animaniacs lasted 99 episodes, so that can't be right. I thought it was cancelled because Kids WB didn't like how much of its audience was adults. BTW which studio did your teacher work for?
I mean I thought he was just insane but watching the show now that im older, he was clearly avoiding the Eiffel Tower, and was too attached to his tourists on his bus. The implication was there.
This show helped me out during my senior year of high school. I still didn’t know what I wanted to do after high school. At that time I watched Rocko’s Modern Life for the first time ever (same goes with Ren and Stimpy, AAAHH Real Monsters, and Angry Beavers. These shows also helped me rediscover CatDog after over a decade of not knowing it existed). After watching all the episodes I watched the live reading of Wacky Deli. Seeing all the voice actors do their thing and hearing how they got the job inspired me to become a voice actress. It hasn’t happened yet but that’s why I want to hopefully move to Burbank, California (I would prefer to work at Nickelodeon). Thanks Rocko, you really helped me figure out life.
Logan Cascio I assume he is referring to accounts of sexual harassment that happened at Nickelodeon in the past. But it is really something you shouldn’t worry about since 1. The company is likely to be much less tolerant and watchful of that sort of thing after it already happened and 2. These kind of things are usually over exaggerated since they often make controversial and thus news stories that drag in a lot of viewers.
Oh okay. Thanks. The main reason why I chose Nickelodeon is because Tom Kenny, Mr. Lawrence, and Carlos Alazraqui (my favorite voice actors and personal idols) do most of their work their.
Oh yes, he mad bastard who made one of my FAVs, Wizards. A movie with some titties, violence, swearing, and plenty of Nazi imagery, which all somehow Rated PG. In other words: *_A FAAAAMILY PICTURE!_*

@@HeilRay Anime was a 90's kid thing too... And the 2000's were filled with anime styled cartoons like Avatar the Last Airbender, Totally Spies, Teen Titans, The Boondocks, etc... Try again.
I think the reason gross out shows don't last long now, is that they only focus on the gross out. With Rocko you had good comedy first, and some of the jokes happened to be gross out ones. With a lot of shows now that do gross out it's all about the gross out, and no one really wants that as the main focus, for obvious reasons.
This. Shows like Rocko, Catdog, Rugrats, and others had gross out humor in them, but it wasn't the main focus of the show. A lot of the more modern attempts at that type of show seem to be made by people who don't understand that you need to have more than just gross out humor in your show to make it appealing, and that, most importantly, you should never gross your audience out more than the other characters in the show. Take a look at two different episodes of SpongeBob as an example, "Something Smells" and "The Splinter". In "Something Smells", the one recurring gag is that everyone is grossed out by how bad SpongeBob's breath is, but it never goes so far that it sickens the audience. In "The Splinter", the audience is treated to cringe-inducing stuff throughout while nobody else in the show has a reaction to it, leading to a lack of laughs.
You’re right. That’s the reason why shows like sanjay & craig and secret mountain fort awesome get a lot of hate for having excessive gross out humor even though shows that are still beloved to this day by plenty of people like ren & stimpy total drama island were just as guilty of with the amount of gross out humor
Well that was one of the things that made 90s cartoon special pretty much everything at the time had attitude to it and a lot of animators and writers were willing to take risk despite whatever controversy may have came their way that's what made 90's cartoons different compared to 80s cartoons most cartoons during the 80s were more about selling a product to children what's the 90s came around that would change there was more focus on character development and storytelling less on trying to sell a product
I just found out that the B-52s made the Rocko’s Modern Life theme song. As a Georgia native, I geeked out a little since they were from my state. It’s sad the the music that came out from the 70s to the 90s was one of the few good things to come from this place.
Ooh so this is why you asked which episode of Gumball had the "blowjob" scene on Twitter. I remember watching Rocko's Modern Life when I was like 6, and loving it. I never got the jokes but kid me just really liked the surreal stuff in the show. It wasn't until they announced the reboot that I rewatched it, almost 20 years since I last watched it, and realized how much stuff I missed or didn't get as a kid. I'm kind of shocked I was allowed to watch this show at all considering my parents didn't even let me watch Pokemon when I was a kid. I can't wait for the reboot. This show is surprisingly relatable and the trailer for the reboot shows that these people know exactly what they're doing.
Same. I watched Rocko back when I was a kid about... I don't know... late 2000s? Considered that I never get the jokes either (e.g. the 8-ball meatball becomes a bride to Mr. Bighead, Rocko rescuing the bugs from being consumed by Mr. Bighead [again], etc.).
Ah, yes, the ultimate "How'd they get away with that?" show. I remember watching it as a really little kid (about 5 or so), then I watched it again at 12 and was shocked that they once showed a guy getting his arms ripped off. Then, as I grew into a teenager, I noticed more things. I heard writers on Regular Show talk about how it was much more fun to write dirty jokes in a kid's show because it was a challenge to see what you could get away with. I see the writers for Rocko's Modern Life were masters of it.
I never really look up what the creators of shows from my childhood did, usually because it ends up a little depressing, but it's so cool to find out that they made so much shit that I consumed. Working for/along them is a dream.
If you think that's bad, you should see the Rocko "cosplay set" that came in one of the early Nick Boxes. I wear the shirt a lot, but the other piece were socks that were poorly designed, meant to look like Rocko's shoes and legs I guess. They're hideous and I don't understand how you're meant to use them for cosplay since you need to wear, you know, shoes over them.
The more I hear about Chris Savino's "incident" the more uncomfortable I feel about the situation probably never look at The Loud House the same way again.
I'm glad that despite the fact I was born in the early 2000s, I was able to appreciate this show through late night reruns before cable started to die out. I remember particularly liking Rocket Power a lot, but I think Rocko was a close 2nd and now my favorite of the nicktoons block that would lay past Nick@Nite, but before the next broadcasting day started
For anyone wondering about Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling movie: “In May 2019, it was announced that Netflix had acquired the distribution rights to the film. It is slated to release on August 9, 2019.”
It really can't be overstated how much anyone who watched this as a kid should watch it again now. Not for the "adult" jokes, no, but for the riffs on the mundane. I _just had_ my own "filling out hospital forms in pain" experience a few months ago when I passed a kidney stone. The "adult" stuff never got past me as a kid, so it's kinda whatever now. Stuff like the hospital forms, meeting your 20-something friend's weird family, and finding parking spaces at the mall is what makes this show.
About the german DVDs - yes, they are uncut and include the original english audiotrack as well. Turbine Medien, the Company who released the Set, went to great lengths to get the unedited Versions of almost all episodes. The only episode that's still censored is "Road Rage" which is missing the No Tell Motel Scene (about 25 seconds).
I feel the gag with the tour guide was supposed to be that he's grown so tired of tourists requesting to see the Eiffel Tower, that hes grown a semi- irrational hate to the thing. To the point he seems to actively blank it out of memory unless prodded at.
I exited for the rocko tv movie but here's 1 question a dumb but interesting question? When is it coming out this year, it's been a long time since the comic con trailer was released
I saw a post that said "Aggretsuko is the anime equivalent of Rocko's Modern Life" and now I really want to rewatch Rocko as an adult to see how accurate that is. EDIT: Holy shit though, watching this now I remember every episode you talk about. I need to rewatch this for it's sake, too
I love this channel because it always reminds me of summer nights from my childhood where i stayed up till 2 in the morning watching cartoons and reruns. Plus your voice is fucking SOOTHING
take this however you will but. I've been thinking about the episode in which heffer hosts a nudist party ever since I saw it on tv. I don't actually have any opinions on the matter, nor has it influenced the way I think. Its just something that has followed me since.
I feel that way since I saw the episode where Mrs. Bighead tried to flirt with Rocko. The only way Rocko has influenced my life is that I named my dog Sponky when I was 5.
The latinamerican dub of the show didn't censor pretty much anything, even words like hell were pronounce (classic rule of the narrator reading titles because we didn't have the budget to edit) and even the banned episode with mrs Bighead seducing Rocko was aired without a problem, not to mention the voice actors were really good
Nickelodeon no tiene problemas con mencionar cosas como "Por el amor de Dios" o "Diablos" en sus doblajes. Pero si suavizaron algunos diálogos, como el "Oh baby, oh baby" que lo tradujeron como "Hola amigo, hola amigo."
God I miss this incredible era of animation. Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, Duckman...I hope I live long enough to see a resurgence of animation of this quality.
I loved the Baseball episode when Rocko wanted to catch a Foul Ball, they were sitting up on the stadium's light tower. And the Cinema episode that was on straight after that with all of those funny movie trailers, funniest one was Dracula: Done To Death movie trailer that implies that the theme of Dracula in Vampire movies has been done so many times that the horror genre needs new ideas. Then came Twilight a decade later. There was also the garage sale where a G I Joe toy that was melted in a Microwave could be worth a fortune regardless of how messed up it had become. There were so many good episodes that I think the best ones were within its first few seasons. Also Spongebob didn't follow the 52 episode rule, it completely smashed it. But I still believe that Rocko's Modern Life was better for it being a 4 season series so therefore it didn't become stale or the creators eventually ran out of ideas such as what happened to Rugrats and Spongebob series.
Awesome episode, and I loved that old school adult swim bumper with the old man swimming. I definitely remember seeing that in my early childhood. I didn't understand what adult swim was, but the content was always entertaining.
16:11 I do like the trope of the medical professional who works in like 3 to 5 different fields. Doctor Barber from Flapjack and that Spanish doctor guy from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish come to mind.
There was a magic meatball in an episode of iCarly. It was the episode that told Spencer want to do when he bought a llama I think? Not sure if it was a reference to Rocko in particular but hey.
I was glad my mom wanted me to watch this show as a kid, thanks to that show it shapped my sense of humor even today and toughed me it's okay to still even laugh when things get hard in life
I hope you cover "The Ripping Friends" one day, i can barley find anything about them. and i really liked that sow when i was young. oh and dont for get "defenders of dynatron city" i cant wait!!
There's a fine line between "Intentionaly Ugly/Wonky Art Direction" like Rugrats and those kinds of things and "Eye-Assaulting Nausea Fuel/Seisure Fest" like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Mega Babies, Mr Pickles ect
TurdMan McQuack I cant say I blame you. There was an episode where Heffer chocked and went straight to the child friendly version of hell. This show had some pretty fucked up stuff tbh
Great video, I loved this show, and I actually laughed more at the From Here to Maternity episode now as an adult than I did as a kid. Also first I hear about the new movie, and I am pumped!
I hate the way networks have regressed in how they decided to make cartoons. They went from "let's make something fresh and interesting that anyone can enjoy", to "how can we pander to children and sell as many toys as possible?"
The German amazon listing for the DVDs says “Rockos modern life- the complete series (includes in the box 3D cover card, stickers, postcards, poster and DVD extras.) [limited edition] The DVD costs about $82.
Humor-wise, Gravity Falls did a lot of the same things Rocko did, so I'm not shocked. Plus Nickelodeon has been heavily banking on their older cartoons for a while now and Rocko has been a pretty big part of that.
I love you're channel dude..we thank a lot alike and I always learn something I did not know when I watch your retrospective review's keep it coming man can't stop watching
The 52 episode rule was what my film teacher calls the most disappointing moment of his life, where he was an animator on Animaniacs and it got canceled because of that stupid rule
dayum
But Animaniacs ran for 99 episodes technically 100 if you count Wakko's Wish
But Animaniacs lasted 99 episodes, so that can't be right. I thought it was cancelled because Kids WB didn't like how much of its audience was adults.
BTW which studio did your teacher work for?
Watch a 107 facts video about it and or Wikipedia it and you'll know it ran for 99 episodes and no none of my teachers worked at any animation studios
No, I was responding to Coolbean.
You should've talked about how Heffer appeared at the end of Camp Lazlo, meaning both shows take place in the same universe canon wise.
And Lumpus cameos in Staric cling
I don't know if that's canon but if it is that's pretty interesting.
Defective Factoid Bot where was he!??!
if that’s true then all of cartoon networks shows would as well
That pause at the Chris Savino part has no words yet says so much.
I almost thought the video froze. Then it I thought "Ooooooh."

It could have been a shoutout to Rocko since they both aired on Nick.

I've been thinking about the episode in which heffer hosts a nudist party ever since I saw it on tv.
I don't actually have any opinions on the matter, nor has it influenced the way I think.
Its just something that has followed me since.
Personally, I remember nothing else about Rocko besides that episode; a plot like that just kinda sticks out, I guess.
Not Applicable Haha yeah that's been my exact experience with it as well
I feel that way since I saw the episode where Mrs. Bighead tried to flirt with Rocko. The only way Rocko has influenced my life is that I named my dog Sponky when I was 5.
I love the thoughtful censor in that episode. It's like there's a brief moment when the censor thinks "Do I need to do this?"

Did no one notice that the Toad in the video has exposed Breasts and yet the Censors didn't tell them to censor it?

The episode was banned after about 3 airings
Who else here is a fan of Joe Maury's other cartoon , Camp Lazo😁👌
Nathaniel Foga Honestly I prefer Camp Lazlo over Rocko.
Meeee!
The latinamerican dub of the show didn't censor pretty much anything, even words like hell were pronounce (classic rule of the narrator reading titles because we didn't have the budget to edit) and even the banned episode with mrs Bighead seducing Rocko was aired without a problem, not to mention the voice actors were really good
Nickelodeon no tiene problemas con mencionar cosas como "Por el amor de Dios" o "Diablos" en sus doblajes. Pero si suavizaron algunos diálogos, como el "Oh baby, oh baby" que lo tradujeron como "Hola amigo, hola amigo."
God I miss this incredible era of animation. Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, Duckman...I hope I live long enough to see a resurgence of animation of this quality.
The 2010s did had unique animated shows like Bojack Horseman, Archer, Castlevania, Love Death and Robots, Regular Show and others
I loved the Baseball episode when Rocko wanted to catch a Foul Ball, they were sitting up on the stadium's light tower.
And the Cinema episode that was on straight after that with all of those funny movie trailers, funniest one was Dracula: Done To Death movie trailer that implies that the theme of Dracula in Vampire movies has been done so many times that the horror genre needs new ideas. Then came Twilight a decade later.
There was also the garage sale where a G I Joe toy that was melted in a Microwave could be worth a fortune regardless of how messed up it had become.
There were so many good episodes that I think the best ones were within its first few seasons.
Also Spongebob didn't follow the 52 episode rule, it completely smashed it. But I still believe that Rocko's Modern Life was better for it being a 4 season series so therefore it didn't become stale or the creators eventually ran out of ideas such as what happened to Rugrats and Spongebob series.
Man, this show sure found a way to fit in a ton of innuendos
Oh good, you arrived
Justin Y. ( -_-)
And you found a way to fit in to all these comment sections.
Oh, hey there Justin. Glad you could make it!
Time Lizard it's not fucking 2015 anymore
Awesome episode, and I loved that old school adult swim bumper with the old man swimming. I definitely remember seeing that in my early childhood. I didn't understand what adult swim was, but the content was always entertaining.
HAHA. Spanish drama about a late library book. So real to the genre.
19:04
"Dad, can we use your tools?"
"Nooooooooo!"
Idk why, but I found that so funny
16:11 I do like the trope of the medical professional who works in like 3 to 5 different fields. Doctor Barber from Flapjack and that Spanish doctor guy from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish come to mind.
Dr.Nick from the Simpsons is the best example for this
@@nomercyformayhem2506 Hi, Everybody!
12:16 PAN YOU MONSTER YOU'RE TO BLAME FOR ALL THIS?!
Is...is Joe Murray secretly Jim?
BumiBomber !!! I know!!! They sound so much alike.
Jim who exactly?
BumiBomber !!! Great now we need Pan to get Joe Murray on the podcast so he can Jim can speak and create the deepst noise ever.
4:33 "Maria, this book is overdue, I'm taking it to the library".
I thought that was Jim talking when Joe Murray showed up.
14:43
DingDong cameos in a RebelTaxi video
Lmao it actually sounds like him
Camp Lazlo was the gold standard for me when I was younger, and Rocko was about the bottom rung. If only I ever read the opening credits back then.
22 years later and this show is inspiring me to try animation. That's why this show is #1-5 on my top 5 favoite cartoons.
Wasnt that magic meatball referenced in iCarly?
There was a magic meatball in an episode of iCarly. It was the episode that told Spencer want to do when he bought a llama I think? Not sure if it was a reference to Rocko in particular but hey.
It might've been actually since Icarly likes to make some references to nickelodeon stuff
Carly could make anyone's meatball feel like magic.
I thought they stole that idea
HellRay
Especially Dan Schneider
I fucking lost it at Dr. Hutchison unwrapping Mrs. Bighead's bandages by tying them to the TV and throwing it out the window. XD
always happy to see a new video from ya pan!
So friggin happy that someone is FINALLY talking about my favorite Nicktoon of all time!
I was glad my mom wanted me to watch this show as a kid, thanks to that show it shapped my sense of humor even today and toughed me it's okay to still even laugh when things get hard in life
I hope you cover "The Ripping Friends" one day, i can barley find anything about them. and i really liked that sow when i was young. oh and dont for get "defenders of dynatron city" i cant wait!!
As a german, the fact that it is uncensored makes me interested. The DVD is only like 30€
Nyancat7 klasse. Jetzt weiß ich was ich als nächstes bei Amazon bestellen werde
Generell gibt es auch andere gute Nicktoons günstig auf amazon. Auch Invader Zim und Ren & Stimpy
Does the dvd have an english audio track?
Gou Karuma the amazon page says so
Gou Karuma Computer says no
There's a fine line between "Intentionaly Ugly/Wonky Art Direction" like Rugrats and those kinds of things and "Eye-Assaulting Nausea Fuel/Seisure Fest" like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Mega Babies, Mr Pickles ect
I think it's also really hard to make a wonky style like that in Flash. Just doesnt move right
I don't know why but when I was a kid this show scared the hell outta me
TurdMan McQuack I cant say I blame you. There was an episode where Heffer chocked and went straight to the child friendly version of hell. This show had some pretty fucked up stuff tbh
Great video, I loved this show, and I actually laughed more at the From Here to Maternity episode now as an adult than I did as a kid. Also first I hear about the new movie, and I am pumped!
11:58
That Snagglepuss reboot was so succesful the best image Pan could find was a Dutch VHS cover.
I liked how 90s the colors were
Hey, I love the new transitions before the break! Those look really awesome :)
Joe Murray sounds like a very deep-voiced Jim
The retrospective on how 90s animation came to be was super interesting and well written, great review/episode as always, Pan!
so glad I'd gotten the complete series of Rocko's Modern Life on DVD
I fucking love the bumps in these videos you've made. Keep doing it!
When i was young i loved the intro so much
Bruh, Butthole Surfers is legitimately good band. Thanks for new tunes to listen to!
"Remember, Be Hot, Be Naughty, Be Courteous" lmao!
I hate the way networks have regressed in how they decided to make cartoons. They went from "let's make something fresh and interesting that anyone can enjoy", to "how can we pander to children and sell as many toys as possible?"
The German amazon listing for the DVDs says “Rockos modern life- the complete series (includes in the box 3D cover card, stickers, postcards, poster and DVD extras.) [limited edition]
The DVD costs about $82.
Is nice to your request reviews have the same amount of interest and research as your own ones, good job pan!!
I'm so excited there's a new Pan video that I might Snork.
This is one of my favorite reviews from you Pan it really sold me on this show
Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh also worked on this
Yes, that's why he mentioned Phineas and Ferb at the beginning of the video.
The funniest part of that Nintendo commercial is that they had to censor the word "hell"
I'm actually shocked that this is getting a revival, at least in a TV movie form. I would have assumed you could not make cartoons like this anymore.
Humor-wise, Gravity Falls did a lot of the same things Rocko did, so I'm not shocked. Plus Nickelodeon has been heavily banking on their older cartoons for a while now and Rocko has been a pretty big part of that.
What about Regular Show?
Mathmachine Boy The Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, hell even some scenes from Star vs got away with some questionable scenes
Sure you can. You just have to market it towards adults.
Its a special not a movie
Really good vid Pan, it was more a class about some of the animation history than a review of Rocko itself.
It’s 2020 Pan, where’s your cartoon?
Edit: It is currently March 22, 2021 Monday and 5:00pm. I don’t see any sharp edge cartoons.
Well, he striked by pitching a show to Adult Swim
I love you're channel dude..we thank a lot alike and I always learn something I did not know when I watch your retrospective review's keep it coming man can't stop watching
