1993 · TV series · 12 min episodes · 4 seasons
Created by Joe Murray
Rocko is a wallaby who has emigrated to America from Australia. He lives in O-Town and tries to get through life but, of course, comes across a multitude of dilemmas and misadventures he must get through. Other characters include Rocko's best friend, Heffer, a steer who has been raised by wolves, Filbert, a paranoid hypochondriac turtle, Rocko's faithful (but none-too-bright) dog Spunky, and Ed Bighead who detests Rocko and hates having him for a next door neighbor. On this show, Rocko has such adventures as trying to adapt to a new vacuum cleaner, having Heffer move in temporarily after his parents kick him out, and going to a movie theater.

There was an episode of Rocko's Modern Life where they go to a ski resort where everything is $5. What a deal! It turns out it applies to literally everything.

For starters "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"

Hell they even had a song in a Rocko's Modern Life episode 21 years ago (and every single time someone says recycle my brain goes "r-e-c-y-c-l-e recycle"):
"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 river, sky, or sea
or else you're gonna get what you deserve
The ozone is in horrible condition,
from fluorocarbons in our atmosphere.
they are too small to be seen by normal vision
but there's getting to be more of us each year
we come from a variety of places
like Styrofoam containers & aerosol cans
we love to eat the ozone it's our favorite dessert
and if you don't have an ozone then the sun can really hurt
I must admit we make a lot of garbage
this dump is filled up way above the brim
if we don't make an effort to recycle
the future could be looking mighty grim
someone's cutting down the O-town forest
it's not enough to sit around and grieve
if we don't protect our flora and our fauna
then we won't have the oxygen to breathe
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 river sky or sea
or else we're gonna get what we deserve!"
