Watch Rocko's Modern Life HD for free on Banana HD

Joe Murray developed the animated series Rocko's Modern Life. Between 1993 and1996, Nickelodeon showed the series for four seasons. The strange, parodic adventures of Rocko, an anthropomorphic Australian immigrant wallaby, and his new existence in the city of O-Town are the focus of Rocko's Modern Life. The show follows Rocko's life in America as well as the lives of his buddies, including the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's loyal dog, Spunky. Double entendres, innuendos, and sarcastic societal criticism abound in the show. In the late 1980s, Joe Murray created the title character for an unpublished comic book series, and subsequently hesitantly submitted the story to Nickelodeon, who were searching for darker cartoonists for their new Nicktoons block. The network offered the authors a lot of creative license, and they were able to write for both kids and adults. Crooked architecture is used in the show's animation. Murray also cast a number of novice voice performers, like Tom Kenny and Carlos Alazraqui, who have now become well-known. The fourth Nicktoon to air was this one. "Rocko's Modern Life was just one of those shows that was the first break for a lot of individuals who went on to do other stuff in the business," Kenny said in an interview when asked about the show's influence.
