Can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer amount of fiendishly subtle adult references the writers snuck into this show?

Rocko named his pet goldfish Lolita.

The show had been long off the air by the time it finally hit me how many masturbation jokes were in the show. I have no idea how those fucking madmen got away with it.

Yeah. They couldn't get away with Chokey Chicken forever though, had to change it to Chewey Chicken.

Nigger in High School that was one of the book EVERYONE had to read in Senior Year English. Either that or The Color Purple.
Not exactly an "adult reference"

Seriously? Man, everyone had wildly different high school experiences. I had to read Tess of D'Urbervilles. No one has even heard of that book.

Granted I'm 28 so that was over ten years ago that I was in high school.
They probably don't make High School kids read Lolita NOW. But they did when Rocko was airing.
I only have the meme version of this image.

Anyone catch those NSFW: Nick Shows were Freakin' Weird segments?

It's shitty that they hype the adult humor that kids didn't catch, but refuse to release the shows, like Rocko, uncensored.

Agreed seems like it would be a nice job, I recall Murray saying on his reddit AMA a few years ago that he had a better time working with CN, though. Makes me wonder how much different and better it was

I always appreciated how characters in this show grew over time, like how Filburt ended up getting married and having kids, or how Mr. Bighead ended up strengthening his relationship with his wife and son after treating them both like shit for years. Rocko's Modern Life is one of those shows that really was a great show for adults, but not just because they snuck masturbation jokes everywhere.

Spunky is an actual word though, spunk and its adjective form just meant plucky and motivated before it became a euphemism for cum. The jackhammering could be dismissed as a weird sports fad in a wacky cartoon, except for all the j/o euphemisms they'd attach to the events

Anybody else buy this bullshit by mistake? I picked it up a year or two ago only to discover that it's the censored cut that they run on NickToons TV, not the original uncut versions of the episodes from the 90s.

So no Rocko pinching the bear's wiener, no Heffer getting a blowjob from the suck-o-matic, no Heffer and Rocko getting a room at a no-tell motel, etc. It was sanitized.

Fuck Shout Factory.

It’s pretty common for students in high school to have to read some controversial book. I mean at what point do you consider Lolita to be appropriate reading material?

Uncut Rocko hasn't been broadcast in the US since the late 90s/early 00s. The videos of the uncut scenes on youtube are all shit quality because no good source for the uncut footage is out there.

I heard it wasn't Shout Factory's fault. Nickelodeon told them that they could either release the edited versions of the episodes or nothing at all, so they chose to release the censored versions. Problem was they didn't put that in any of their advertisements that the DVDs were censored, which was a shitty thing for them to do.

I think anybody should be able to read anything whenever, I'm just surprised a school assigned it. You hear all these news stories about school districts banning Huck Finn or To Kill a Mockingbird because they say nigger a bunch, I'd have imagined books that prominently feature little girls getting sexually assaulted would be verboten too
