Top 10 Parallels Between Rocko's Modern Life and SpongeBob SquarePants
See? The shows really aren't as different as you may have thought after allI heard that some people who worked on Rocko went on to work on Spongebob, so of course there are going to be similarities between characters.
Now you know who to sarcastically thank (sighs disappointedly)
Just watch the show's intro; it pretty much says it all right there
Honestly, this show (despite the extremely obvious filler episodes here and there) is EASILY more memorable overall than its contemporaries, and vastly better as well
Rocko being the best Nickelodeon show is something that I would say is actually pretty damned close to being true, but "best show ever" is still so much of a stretch that I don't even know where to begin (especially with golden-age South Park and Rick & Morty also existing within the animated sitcom genre)
Probably one of the first times (if not THE first time) it's shown in Rocko's Modern Life is in Kiss Me I'm Foreign, when Filburt publicly proposes marriage to him
Even when I claimed that Ren & Stimpy aesthetically LOOKED better than the Rocko series, I honestly have NO idea what I was talking about in retrospect; literally EVERYTHING
about Rocko (for the most part) was crisp, clean and beautiful to look at (most especially for the time, which R&S looked pretty dated even for)
I'll be honest though; apart from that one "Clean Loving" episode and those Bloaty & Squirmy sitcom parodies, Gary > Spunky any day of the week
For example, Heffer going to Heck was mentioned in two different episodes, both of which treated the situation as though it really happened (the episode was just a dream).
