@@jacobdehaan4114no cap haha that’s the only thing I didn’t like about the movie, Ralph was a fire character as he was

My life wasn’t easy as a kid. My parents split up when I was six and my mom fell into depression. My only friend from school moved away and I was left alone. What helped me live my childhood and learn things about life and, mostly, what gave me laughter and happiness were cartoons and, most precisely, Rocko’s Modern Life. Thank you, for satirizing the cruel world into something so funny and well thought. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from the lonely kid I once was.

I felt this comment hard, there’s something about this show so sincere and relatable I love it and I grew up in a similar situation always watching this show

I can see why he's never screamed out loud before: he looks like the calm, mellow headed, chill kind of man you'd want to hang out with.

I MISS ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE!!! Thank you Joe for giving us this wonderful show. I never watch TV with the exception of this show.

0:43 I don't remember seeing THAT in the show 😂

I read somewhere that Charlie Adler is a friend of Harvey Fierstein, who's famous for his gravelly voice. I wouldn't be surprised if Bev Bighead's voice was somewhat based on Harvey's.

Rocko's Modern Life used to shock me as a kid. I remember in particular the christmas episode (Rocko chops down the tree, it looks scared and it dies) and the gym episode (noseblood+man getting his arms "ripped" off, including blood) and the chokey chicken one (lots of blood splatter in some kind of hospital). Now, as an adult, I find it amazing. It's fun to hear how things are "behind the scnes", controversies and whatnot.

Damn i thought the same thing

Fun fact about the cane toad epidemic. They were actually introduced by the Australians to counteract the cane fly epidemic.

Joe, Firstly, "I hate my life." Secondly, over the course of the past 15yrs, I have gone through myriad changes and transformations in my life. My tastes have evolved, & I have moved far away from my former go-tos. One predilection that has endured is my affinity for RML. Be it with my older brother in our living room (15 yrs. ago) or from my comp. screen in college (now), I always have and always will love RML. It truly is a timeless masterpiece. 15yrs. of bliss and counting! Thanks! Peter

My god, Joe Murray, Rocko's Modern life was my childhood, I still catch myself watching it today. Thank you so much for creating it.

Thank you so much Joe for creating all these amazing characters. I have fond memories of both Rocko and Lazlo as I loved both shows as I was growing up.

ed and bev are really similar to al and Peggy from married with children.

i think that your so creative, insightful, and witty! i love your style and you just seem like a wicked nice guy. thanks for all your entertainment since i was a young lad and keep it coming

this is an AWSOME cartoon. love it, wish it was still on

You are such a huge inspiration, thank you so much for executing such amazing works that influenced me in my childhood! You're awesome

Thank you for making this show, Joe. I loved the show when I was a kid, and I love it even more now that I can see the adult jokes and relate to the storylines even more.

“They could at times be completely off-the-wall horrible mean people (or frogs) and at times you felt a little touched by them and their sensitivity” I love this about these 2 for that exact reason, they’re secretly the emotional heart of the show despite how how they get at each other’s throats (and Ed’s general assholery to Rocko borne from his insecurities around his lost youth) their love always feels truly deep and with a true history to it. One of the best TV couples ever.

Nickelodeon owns the rights to release on DVD, and my efforts to get them to put out DVD's have been fruitless. Thank you for your appreciation of the show.

Dude I fuckin' loved watching Rocko as a kid. I'm now 23 years old and I still love this show. I watch it all the time on the Nicktoons channel late at night. I'm so happy they still air it. I seriously need to get the seasons on DvD. I saw them on sale on amazon.com. Joe Murray, u are a goddamn genius. I am a big fan. Thanks for coming up with this fantastic cartoon. U helped make my childhood kick ass even more!

Love seeing you use the Cintiq, Joe it's a brilliant piece of hardware. These videos are fun, awesome to watch before I sit down to draw for the day

was watching the episode about Ralph Bighead wanting to get out of his contract and so he had Rocko and the guys animate for him. xD i used one of those same cameras for my final last year, and i pretty much had the same late-night hysterical episode that all those guys had! great to see it brought to life - especially with your voice! lol hope you're out there making all the great giant still-lifes you want. loved the show since i was little! :D

I saw the episode you mentioned about Bev flirting with rocko like two weeks ago on Nickelodeon, so I guess it came back. Also, thanks for doing such a great cartoon, it was my favorite when I was a little child. I was very happy to see it was airing again on nick on weekends, at least here in mexico is.

you were a huge influence on my work, i absorbed your style for like 10 years, was really hard to shake. much respect Joe, yer something else.

Mr. Murray!! You totally inspired me and my childhood! I love you and your crazy nutty wacky creative brain!

I love this show so much, probably my favorite cartoon of all time. For the past 2 years I've talked like Bev Bighead whenever I'm immitating somebody xD Nice video. This show is a huge part of my childhood.

Love these! Make me want to get back into cartooning.

WOW Joe Murray the legend himself!!! Amazing drawings... You make it look so simple... If that DVD is really coming out I will buy many copies if you are getting a appropriate cut of course ;)

this cartoon is beyond everything i've ever seen, magic!

Just watched "To Heck And Back". Geez, that episode was morbid, watching it as an adult nowadays. Still, Rocko's Modern Life rocks!

I am such a huge fan of yours, Joe!

Awesome, you're so cool! I love your work.

Wow, there was one day where I couldn’t stop watching your videos of you drawing. Although, this one is my favorite out of all of them since Ed Bighead is my favorite character! I’m an aspiring artist and your art truly inspires me, Joe. 🙂

I loved this show! My favorite was the one were Ed was sleepwalking and he thought he was a pirate lol :D and I want that tablet! Looks very nice :)

It just finally dawned on me that the "eyes" bit was actually a euphemism for Bev Bigheads' breasts.

thank you mr. murray for creating such a great show from my childhood. I remember Rocko's Modern Life from when i was 8 years old during the golden age of tv. i get the adult humor now. i love the episode road rash even more now then i did then. especially the beegees on bagpipes lol and the censored motel scene. if you ever get the rights to Rocko's Modern Life back. can you make new epsiodes of Rocko's Modern Life ?

The Bigheads look like prerequisites of Pepe the Frog

Joe, love your shows, love your style and all that jazz. Im an "aspiring" cartoonist and I was just wondering If you recall what sound effect libraries were used for Rocko's Modern Life. They're classic sound effects but don't sound like they were recorded 40 years ago (like Warner Bros).Or were they created in foley specifically for the show? Thanks for reading and for the memories you created for me with your shows. And most importantly keep making cartoons. -Adam Markajani, Rochester NY

Hey Joe you should make a series for adult swim and another for Netflix

Haaaa! I had that episode recorded on VHS before they banned it! 🤣🤣

Hey Joe, you've decided to suit so many characters with so many different animals. Even though you've already played the role of Ralph Bighead, what animal do you think would best suit you?

I always start my cartoons with the eyes first- Im thinking this is probably not a great idea

what about the breaking plates thing???

I heard that the inspiration for Rachel Bighead was that some cane toads can be hermaphroditic. Rachel is the feminine form, while Ralph is the masculine form? Who is to say that they can't change back and forth if it's in their nature to? Or depending on who the story needs? Genderfluidity more so? It could change day-to-day as long as it's explained. If that's the case, it would explain why Ed & Bev look and sound so similar. But then it wouldn't make sense for Ed to be upset since he would already know that's just what cane toads in-universe can do. Ed & Bev just never had "the talk" with the young Ralph due to the donut incident or something. It just seems like a step backwards for Ed after the donut reconciliation & his closet-clown episode. It's a bold new direction for Rachel; a change in character, for sure. The biggest issue is that if you never watch Static Cling & only stick to the original series, then you would never know about it. As far as we knew, the old Ralph was finishing a fruit bowl carving in a mesa until 2005. Does that mean any re-watch of the original series is misgendering? Would not watching Static Cling be erasure? Which is more harmful?? If they were genderfluid due to being hermaphroditic, then we could get Ralph & Rachel Bighead all in one. If there needed to be a Ralph episode in the future, the option would be there. If Rachel was needed in an episode, that would also be there. Just wondering about the consistency over-all. The only character I can recall from the original series that naturally had potential for a gender reveal setup was Heffer's brother Peter Wolfe. He wore pink, did ballet, was a cheerleader, & his dad would get furious, etc. "Told you he'd have a cow." Maybe Peter was mistakenly called Cindy due to Grandpa Wolfe's bad eyesight & he liked it? Whatever makes Peter comfortable. Not saying he can't do those things as a guy, but it would have been a nice payoff if the future (current?) version of him did transition. The seeds were there & it's not a stretch if you watch the original series. It would be consistent with the character. An adult re-watching the series could be like: "Ohh, so that's what they were referencing in the 90s." My unsolicited spec scripts for a reboot would send Rocko, Heffer, Filburt, & Spunky on a crash course of "modern life" over the 2000s-2010s to experience the gradual changes they had missed out on. The Winds of Change could see that Rocko is still unhappy & turns back the clock using something like the Bermuda Triangle clock to let Rocko & the gang adapt to modern life at their own pace. Rocko held on to the past due to the huge culture shock after being away for so long. It was jarring to see him so angry at change, then passively shrugging & just accepting it. Time travel shenanigans would be used only once to initiate a reboot. Going backwards to go forwards. Maybe the angry clock in the intro can be used to show that the series is rebooted to a general period of time by the Winds of Change. It would erase the "Baby Fathead" that Rocko hated, but the sentiment from Rachel to Ed & Bev could be adapted into growth as one of the "I wish I had done this sooner" moments. We can't change our past, but Rocko can change his as a cartoon. The falling out between Ed & Rachel could get prevented & they could have "the talk" so Rachel/Ralph is able to be whomever they want each episode. It would be canonically addressed, at least. If anything, it would give Ralph/Rachel a better future if Static Cling's events are avoided this time. Peter & Cindy Wolfe could get more development as siblings with Heffer. Peter can explore gender, Cindy's mental health can be addressed a bit more, and Heffer's weight could be less shamed in modern sensibilities. The family dynamics supporting of each other could work. The "my wife's a sea mammal" scene was in the original series, & Heffer would stick up for his family. The rest of a rebooted series could be a vehicle to comment on daily life issues that never seem to change. It would be necessary for the characters to adapt to changes they missed out on tho. We could see the perils of the internet thru Rocko's life, all the original streaming services popping up, & the introduction of the original O-Phone. Seeing Rocko's take on "modern 2000s life" in hindsight would be ironically post-modern, but it could work if written well & were as relatable as the original series. A prequel to our modern lives as seen only thru O-Town.

@joemurraystudio you create this amazing show and they won't even release DVD's?

@joemurraystudio how much did you get paid when Rocko's modern life was being aired on Nickelodeon? I've always wanted to know. amazing show by the way

Actually, if you try some of them out, there are good ones like Adventure Time, Out There, Regular Show, Adventures of Gumball... and I think a few others. About the same amount of good and bad, really. Why you think they were better was because you were a kid. I feel the same way. But shows like Doug weren't as good as the few great ones like Rocko and Ren & Stimpy. I remember older people saying the same thing about our cartoons.

Power Mac G5 in the background. I know that sound anywhere.

He sounds a lot like Gregory peck!

The bigheads remind me of the Fatheads. Im going to say this but it would be nice if the Fatheads had their own series on Adult swim for example, since you had Camp Lazlo on Cartoon Network. but im guessing since Nick owns the rights to rockos, they probably own the rights to the cartoon segments inside the cartoons too.

They did air it lol I watched it when I was little :3 dont you worry lol.

@ProviderMR You just further proved my point. Camp Lazlo and Rocko are not the same shows, and you hate CL because it's not the same? Well I mean I don't understand where you are coming from. Nobody wants to watch the same show but with different characters. *Points at Family Guy and Cleveland Show*. Why would Joe wanna create an exact copy of Rocko, right down to the "atmosphera"? And yes you are trash talking. You said that it's the truth that CL is bad. Why should anyone listen to that?

Dude that was a rude comment. Even if you're brownnosing Mr. Murray, he looks at himself as an influence in the new generation. You are basically slamming him.

So, I heard rockos modern life will be back. Great!!! But I also heard it will go full metal retarded by going full sjw 2020 with gender fluid things involved. I hope it's not true.
