Top 10 Best Rocko's Modern Life Episodes

The best episodes of the 1993 to 1996 Nicktoon Rocko's Modern Life, which centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic wallaby named Rocko and his friends.

The Top Ten

  1. Camera Shy

    This is the only episode where Rocko is accidentally filmed nude (a reference to Nude Descending a Staircase), and the public's reaction when the video nearly goes viral is as pricelessly hilarious as it is disturbing. "He's completely... NAKED. WITH NO CLOTHES ON!"

  2. Wacky Delly

    An episode about a show within a show. "Wacky Delly" is designed to be the worst show ever, but people still eat it up like maniacs.

    Best Rocko episode in my opinion, hands down.

  3. To Heck and Back

    That Satanic guy named Peaches was what really made this episode. He acts like Satan, but he's really just doing his job. Also, the plot of this episode is pretty wacky and disturbing, which I like.

    This episode was funny and dark at the time.

  4. I Have No Son

    Another episode about a show within a show. It is emotionally deeper than "Wacky Delly" (Ralph's cartoon series, "The Fatheads," is causing arguments and conflicts with his corporate father, Ed) but is not nearly as funny.

  5. Trash-O-Madness

    This was originally the pilot episode. I prefer the official extended version, but either way, this episode about Rocko scrambling to pick up all his trash on trash day is a classic. And who could forget the psychotic stray dog, Earl? "Garbage day is a very dangerous day."

    Charmingly rough, but at times had great animation. As I was watching it, I thought to myself that it must have been one of the first episodes ever produced. I wasn't wrong. Overall, this episode was incredible.

  6. Ed Is Dead

    I love this episode so much that I watch it even when it's nowhere near Halloween.

    This is an incredibly dark and horrifying episode, but that's why it's amazing!

    A spat followed by a disappearance leads Rocko to believe that Mrs. Bighead murdered Ed.

  7. Put to Pasture

    The high school flashback was the real meat of this episode. The potato-battery science experiment was really creative, and Filburt going insane over potato chips after Heffer ate the potato was especially hilarious.

    The best flashback was when Mr. Bighead talked about when Heffer was his paperboy (back when he was the handsomest man in town).

    I ain't giving him nothing! I got plans for these chips! You ate yours, fat boy! These babies are mine!

  8. I See London, I See France

    Crazy bus drivers, Americanization, cheesy French love proposal scenes... This episode had it all.

  9. Fortune Cookie

    Filburt gets bad luck from a fortune cookie that says, Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune will infest your pathetic soul for all eternity. He got fortune cookies to celebrate becoming Mr. Lucky on the Game Spinner Show, but will his bad luck ruin his chance? Find out!

    "BAD LUCK AND EXTREME MISFORTUNE WILL INFEST YOUR PATHETIC SOUL FOR ALL ETERNITY." Leave it to Filburt to deny the fact that he became a bad luck magnet after reading that fortune. In fact, he even gets that exact same fortune repeatedly.

  10. Popcorn Pandemonium

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Sailing the Seven Zzz's

    In my opinion, this is one of the best episodes ever!

  12. ?

    Keeping Up with the Bigheads

    Stop, stop! I might wet myself! Oops.

    This episode was pretty funny!

    13. The Contenders

  13. Carnival Knowledge

  14. Feisty Geist

  15. The Big Question/The Big Answer

    Filburt's marriage proposal to Dr. Hutchinson, which sounds pretty normal by the show's standards, predictably goes hilariously wrong. In the end, though, they get married.

  16. Leap Frogs

    Mrs. Bighead is an odd one, she is. Just one of the many reasons we have a fence between our houses.

  17. Fish n Chumps

  18. Zanzibar

    One of the only environmental protection musicals to openly admit how preachy and sappy it is.

    This will teach Mr. Bighead about not caring for the country and littering.

  19. Teed Off

    This episode had Heffer trying to help Mr. Bighead win a golfing match between him and his boss (even though he's NOT supposed to win). It also features a parody of Darth Vader, exploding pianos, and a flying tractor! How is this not a great episode?

    The best episode. They light up Ed with, like, 80 pianos when he's just trying to hit the ball.

  20. Jet Scream

    No need to be alarmed, we just lost power to our right engine. Oops.

  21. Closet Clown

  22. Ed Good, Rocko Bad

  23. From Here to Maternity

  24. Who's for Dinner?

    I liked this episode because it was both funny and heartwarming. The heartwarming part was when Heffer reunited with the Wolfe Family because he realized that, even though he's adopted, he's still a part of their family.

    Heffer's backstory is some seriously sad stuff, I gotta say.

  25. Cabin Fever

    I loved how Mr. Bighead went insane in this episode.

  26. Uniform Behavior

    This had to be one of the world's scariest episodes ever made. Have you seen those ghosts? It's crazy!

  27. Pranksters

    I love the ending when Rocko's grandma was revealed to be Filburt the whole time, trying to get back at Heffer.

    After he laughed about how he finally got him, Heffer ended the episode by saying, "I knew it was him the whole time!"
