With Static Cling coming in a week, this would be a good time for a Rocko's Modern Life thread.

I'm honestly hoping this would be good. The original show was kino as fuck.
>You'll never find the complete series uncut and remastered
Goddammit...
Germany's Blu-Ray set is as close as we get. It's not fully remastered and is missing the Road Rash cut scene, but they are in slightly better quality than the Shout DVD's.
Does anybody have the MEGA for all 4 seasons? Also can you include Zim as well?
Even better if they're the Germany Blu-Ray rips with english audio.
I'm glad that the show is still enjoyable after all of these years, I hope SC is good
>Filburt was supposed to be a minor character but became the character that grow the most.
He and the Dr. were a pretty cute couple.
You guys think Rocko will actually find love in the movie?
In almost every episode with a girl he ends up alone [minus Wallaby on Wheels... which was like at the tail end of the series and Sheila doesn't even show up again show nor comics].
Let him not be alone dammit.
I was about to say the same thing, he's such a sweet man, he really deserves someone to love. Hell, I'll take him getting with a guy, since the movie wants to be LGBTQTE
Rockos the type of guy who'd def go for either or.
Heck in the comics he actually nearly gets with a QT Ferret[?] but because he has to go save Mr Bighead she just bails thinking he wanted nothing to do with her.
I can't bring myself to read the comics, knowing that Anthony Burch wrote them.
Oh uh, he only wrote "Rocko's Modern Afterlife."
The previous set of comics were written by other people, and even had guest comics.
Including FUCKING TONY MILLIONAIRE.
Good thing I checked the catalog, I was going to make a Static Cling thread. I hope the LGBT thing isn't annoying as shit but it already sounds bad on its own.
I'm sort of worried they're going to turn Melba Toast into Mel Toast and it'll be super self back-patting
I don't think you have to worry about that specific concern. It might be something with Ralph but he's Joe's self insert for real and it'd seem weird to use him for that, it might be new characters.
I can imagine Ralph and Rocko getting married just because they're short
If they turned Rocko gay I'd be actually sick.
Him being just gay would go against the original show, but him being bi might not.
Rocko is not candidate to apply the L G B T Q on him. It won't make sense.
Still will suck and go against to original. Why Joe sold his soul to GLAAD, and thought to set an episode such as Closet Clown would be a good idea!??
Turns out Closet Clown was secretly a serious metaphor masked under the guise of comedy and wackiness. You know, ignoring the ending with Rocko being chased away for enjoying rainbows.
I leave the thread for like 20 minutes and this happens can we go back to talking about Rocko potentially fucking on Netflix.
The show kinda moved away from exploring Rocko's love life, didn't it? It might have been the result of Joe Murray's wife killing herself during production.
>search "Anthony Burch" on Google
>find KYM article
>"His wife later left him, allegedly taking his Wii U."
Why did I laugh so hard at this?
I just want more fanservice of Bev Bighead.
This shit always retroactively ruins Rocko for me, at least a little bit.
Wait for the moment when people on twitter and glaad affiliates realize how offensive that ending was. This special won't make a difference, the offended damage was done.
Their usual mindset is "the times were different, it was still toxic then but things have changed since then, we're trying to move past that", but if they have a hateboner for the IP or creator then they'll ignore that and not move past it and instead use it as an example of how that's how corporations see LGBT people and that nowdays they're just trying to make money off of them like snakes in the grass.
I see that shit so fucking much even on this board, it was more of a thing around 2016 or 2017 where the pandering for them in shows was seen as not genuine and they wouldn't even take the cancer being gave to them by the same types of people as them because they have to be victims. People did this with AT's ending too.
Okay but, you don't even know the best part.
The WiiU...
Was the wedding gift.
It did move away but in the last season in Wallaby On Wheels Rocko actually got a girlfriend and hammers with her in public see pic.
And then she never shows up again, comics or episodes.
Man the ending to AT actually made sense like, if you watched the show it was pretty blatant marceline and PB were fucking. Then again I wasn't on the threads during it.
>made sense
That isn't the issue and I will never understand how people can twist the argument around to shit like this.
If Rocko's getting gay-married, they should make a joke where the town's gathered into an angry mob, and it looks like he's about to be gay-bashed, but it turns out they just don't like the rainbow flag he has, and he gets chased by the whole town, but it's okay because he has his husband with him, also getting chased and about to be beaten
Sounds close enough to an older series styled gag. Don't worry, nothing like that will happen, Joe had GLAAD LGBT representatives read the entire script to give it their approval. These are the same people that were responsible for cancelling a series before it aired.
lostmediawiki.com
I second this.
Hopefully they won't care as much because it's a cartoon
They gave Steven Universe awards.
Seriously though, why the fuck were the Shout Factory DVD's such fucking shit?
Rocko is not AT, and Joe cannot do the same mistake as Pen, Rebecca & Joaquín Dos Santos
>Promotional material for the series also attracted angry viewers. What was said in the promotional material reads "This jury of their queers [(geddit?)] will declare which of the two guys they believe is actually gay … and that guy will win fifty thousand dollars!" Soon after, FOX apologized for the things said in the promotional material and stated that the "failed attempt at humor" was ill-stated and inappropriate.
Even apologizing for simple jokes back then, it's only gotten so much worse now.
They felt like they were fine in most parts. They just didn't have the original uncut masters from Nick since Nick lost them or didn't have them in great shape or something. I think they used whatever was on Amazon?
Joe already went the extra mile to have GLAAD read over their script to make sure it wasn't offensive.
But Rocko can't be gay, do you hear me? It won't give him any justice, ain't no way we accepting that. So much disrepect for 90's originality. That it literally wll mean Joe has sold his soul to GLAAD, he doesn't what he's doing.
How long did it take to get a trailer
Hey at least you have a release date.
Meh ill just wait
>in a week
God damn it I thought it was on the 3rd...
Somewhat related so
nickelodeonanimation-viacom.icims.com
Take a good look. Kamp Koral is the CGI baby spinoff of Spongebob by the way.
Unknown animated movie for streaming could also be a nostalgia thing.
>Nickelodeon Animation Studio is looking for a Lead Storyboard Artist on an upcoming feature film to be released on streaming platforms. The style is cartoony, Harmony, slapstick.
It presents rainbow lovers as hapless victims of mean angry normative people, so it's perfectly PC.
I really hate what happened to the rainbow. If you see it now it's always drawn to show LGBT shit is involved. God damn it hurts.
It's the "allegedly" that really sells it.
It's like some investigator couldn't untangle all the details and this case will just have to remain unsolved.
Can someone spoon feed me on exactly whats missing/wrong on the shout! Rocko dvds? Because ive had the complete series box set since late 2017 and i wanna know what i dont have
Heffer doesn't get his dick sucked, Rocko doesn't grab monkey testicles, and Heffer doesn't have sex with Rocko in a motel.
at least you know what are you waiting for
Not really, 2 years have passed and we don't even know the main character's name.
Oh yea that utter sucking scene and the bear bush ball thing .
There’s also some pretty bad interlacing with the quality. Hell, 1 minute of Hut Sut Raw was obviously taken from a VHS.
Was there ever nudity in Rocko's Modern Life? I remember a really short cut in the episode where Rocks goes to a snotty gym with Hef. Hef knocks down a wall in leading to the woman's shower room where there's a few women naked in the showers. Was that cut later?
They're animals so who cares.
Yes, but I was wondering if it was cut from the DVDs
I feel like I remember seeing it there. I have most of the season sets and then the complete series.
The animation looks really fucking rough but apparently they used animation cels for it?
Burch didn't write the 2017 series so they're not too bad. I did read the series he wrote (pirated of course) and just like clockwork he just couldn't resist shoving forced feminist bullshit into it.
Filburt becomes an MGTOW and starts wearing a fedora. When he meets Dr. Hutchison he literally tips his hat and calls her m'lady in an attempt to woo her. When she rejects him he turns to an incel website for advice and they convince him that she's the one with the problem. Rocko and Heffer eventually snap him out of it by forcing him to read an article on a feminism website.
It's such an obnoxious assassination of one of the most developed characters in the series. Burch deserves every bad thing that happens to him.
When is someone going to finally out him as a sex-pest with definitive proof? I keep hearing he's a creep that pressured his wife into an open relationship, and he was a part of the Riot harassment scandal, but coincidentally left the studio shortly before it started to spread
>creep
At least I didn't say Oof or Yikes or This Ain't It Senpai
How would it go against the original? It only ever portrayed Rocko as straight but that never ruled out being bi.
Either way I don’t see it happening, I’m convinced it’s either Ralph or a new throwaway character or maybe one of Filburt’s kids.
>never ruled out being bi.
Come the fuck on.
still cant believe no one has done this one yet.
Is English your first language?
He was pretty fucking gay in the original have you watched the show ever
>never ruled out being bi.
fuck off retard
State every time he was gay, other than marrying Filbert and liking rainbows
It is indeed based off an older IP, but I don’t know which one. A few industry acquaintances have said that they’re doing another reboot movie which is odd because TJM tanked and they dumped Rocko & Zim on Netflix
I'll take it with a grain of salt, everybody says they have friends in the industry.
Source? That seems unlikely
Wait what, are you serious? Storytime?
>other than marrying filburt
>marrying filbert
>not gay
>NOT MUH ROCKO
man I hope we get a scene with him rimming Heffer just to piss you plebs off
It was to stay in the country, there was no sex or real romance
you didnt even try to mask this at all you baby shitposter
I feel a supreme sadness knowing this is the first and last time I'll see all these characters/voice actors again for the first time in over 20 years. I was so young and happy when Rocko originally aired. Now I'm a fat 32 year old with no life or future
I obsess over my childhood due to my current misery, and I'm considering not even watching this due to the depression it might cause me. After I watched the Jungle movie I cried, not because of the movie itself but because of how I remembered how I used to be happy when Hey Arnold was originally on
Was he into it?
seethe
Don't worry, you won't even want what we're getting let alone more of it.
He didn’t care how it looked though
Rocko is more confident in his masculinity than most of the faggots ITT
He was open about his feelings towards woman, why didn't he ever get all gushy about men in the past? I guess you could go, "he gets nervous sometimes when a big, scary guy shows up, maybe there's a mixture of attraction underneath that fear"
Yeah it sounds like they 2019'd the series pretty hard. A reason the Jungle Movie hit me so hard was because it was so wholesome and felt like an episode straight out of the originals series.
I have a playlist of 90s/early 2000s shows I watch on a shuffled list and will often watch commercials from the same era on youtube. This kind of shit sends me into a spiral.
Lol did they really make Rocko gay or are you guys just memeing
There’s confirmed “gay representation” in the special & it’s filed under LGBT on Netflix. No one knows which character is gay yet but the most popular guess is Ed Bighead’s son.
Someone is an LGBT but we don't know who, Netflix even lists it under LGBT movies and LGBT comedy.
I cried during TJM for similar reasons too user.
I was also pretty drunk
The movie's labeled "LGBTQ" on Netflix and people are speculating about what it means, and Joe Murray stated that they weren't holding back anything like they did with Closet Clown, so that leads back into "What if Rocko like cocko"?
There’s also an interview where Joe mentions that they partnered with GLAAD, so something gay is happening.
Again, the whole gay thing isn't something to care about until it happens.
It could be a major character, minor character, literal background character or some OC they make for the special. You have no idea until it happens. It's the least I'm caring about with this
esquire.com
Murray said in this interview
>"There’s a definite turn in the episode that we had an advisor from GLAAD work with us closely on it so that we get it right," says Murray. "It was actually embraced by the network – they knew we were doing it, so we’ve come a long way.”
>Murray says that at least two representatives of the LGBT media-monitoring organization were present for each major stage of production – from reading the outline to looking at the storyboards to viewing the final film. "They loved the way that we approached it," he says. "I’m really happy about it.”
The point is the principal of it.
I could try if people want to see it, I suppose. Hardly feels worth it to storytime a Burch comic but if folks want to read that trainwreck I guess I could oblige.
If it’s not too much trouble. I’m unfamiliar with Burch but the comic sounds ridiculous.
Holy fuck.
My favorite part is how they start and finish the genres list with it.
This is very likely the last new Rocko material we'll ever get, even in principle I don't care enough to scream about gays like Yea Forums will
Who says the character in question has to be gay? They could be trans instead, god forbid.
>scream about gays like Yea Forums will
Funny thing is that we're really not the majority, most people are like you or worse here. Don't take shitposters in 12 Forever threads seriously, most of them are just either starting shit and don't care or its falseflagging by the people that like the series.
Rocko’s Modern Vagina
Don't change the subject, this is serious!!!
I've never actually done a storytime before but I'll give it a shot.
Rocko should find Dingo and marry him, I like the thought of a former bully reconciling with one of his victims, they become friends and eventually fall in love.
Now you just saying nonsense bullshit. Whoever got that thought, is an foolhardy imbeclie.
Thanks user, take your time
I don't actually expect it to happen, it would just be nice, in my opinion. The part where Heffer and Filburt beat him up made me real sad as a kid
>
Rocko's Modern Afterlife storytime over here
Are you me?
>no one's made the obvious connection on who the gays are
Do you faggots even watch the show?
I don't think I want to fuck Rocko anymore, guys.
That's what I thought for about 15 seconds too until I remembered that they were brothers.
Heffer becomes a nudist when he moves in with Rocko.
