Rocko, Heffer, and Filbert embark on a series of misadventures ranging from ill-fated fishing trips to mundane everyday life events like trying to find the right theater at the GoogaPlex Cinemas to go see a movie. Through this premise, Rocko’s Modern Life is a show about how friendships can be tested when plans fall apart, and its central characters are subjected to injuries, scams, and sometimes, Gladys the Hippo Lady, with whom Rocko has frequent questionable run-ins.
All of the above scenarios are fertile ground for an amazing kids’ show, but now we need to get into the adult humor.
