    The 52 episode rule was what my film teacher calls the most disappointing moment of his life, where he was an animator on Animaniacs and it got canceled because of that stupid rule

      But Animaniacs ran for 99 episodes technically 100 if you count Wakko's Wish

    • @toon4thought
      @toon4thought 6 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      But Animaniacs lasted 99 episodes, so that can't be right. I thought it was cancelled because Kids WB didn't like how much of its audience was adults.
      BTW which studio did your teacher work for?

  • @EridianX
    @EridianX 6 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    I think the reason gross out shows don't last long now, is that they only focus on the gross out. With Rocko you had good comedy first, and some of the jokes happened to be gross out ones. With a lot of shows now that do gross out it's all about the gross out, and no one really wants that as the main focus, for obvious reasons.

    • @LordArikado
      @LordArikado 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This. Shows like Rocko, Catdog, Rugrats, and others had gross out humor in them, but it wasn't the main focus of the show. A lot of the more modern attempts at that type of show seem to be made by people who don't understand that you need to have more than just gross out humor in your show to make it appealing, and that, most importantly, you should never gross your audience out more than the other characters in the show. Take a look at two different episodes of SpongeBob as an example, "Something Smells" and "The Splinter". In "Something Smells", the one recurring gag is that everyone is grossed out by how bad SpongeBob's breath is, but it never goes so far that it sickens the audience. In "The Splinter", the audience is treated to cringe-inducing stuff throughout while nobody else in the show has a reaction to it, leading to a lack of laughs.

    • @Smith-fg1qb
      @Smith-fg1qb ปีที่แล้ว

      You’re right. That’s the reason why shows like sanjay & craig and secret mountain fort awesome get a lot of hate for having excessive gross out humor even though shows that are still beloved to this day by plenty of people like ren & stimpy total drama island were just as guilty of with the amount of gross out humor

    This show helped me out during my senior year of high school. I still didn’t know what I wanted to do after high school. At that time I watched Rocko’s Modern Life for the first time ever (same goes with Ren and Stimpy, AAAHH Real Monsters, and Angry Beavers. These shows also helped me rediscover CatDog after over a decade of not knowing it existed). After watching all the episodes I watched the live reading of Wacky Deli. Seeing all the voice actors do their thing and hearing how they got the job inspired me to become a voice actress. It hasn’t happened yet but that’s why I want to hopefully move to Burbank, California (I would prefer to work at Nickelodeon). Thanks Rocko, you really helped me figure out life.

      Logan Cascio I assume he is referring to accounts of sexual harassment that happened at Nickelodeon in the past. But it is really something you shouldn’t worry about since 1. The company is likely to be much less tolerant and watchful of that sort of thing after it already happened and 2. These kind of things are usually over exaggerated since they often make controversial and thus news stories that drag in a lot of viewers.

    Ah, yes, the ultimate "How'd they get away with that?" show. I remember watching it as a really little kid (about 5 or so), then I watched it again at 12 and was shocked that they once showed a guy getting his arms ripped off. Then, as I grew into a teenager, I noticed more things.
    I heard writers on Regular Show talk about how it was much more fun to write dirty jokes in a kid's show because it was a challenge to see what you could get away with. I see the writers for Rocko's Modern Life were masters of it.

    Ooh so this is why you asked which episode of Gumball had the "blowjob" scene on Twitter.
    I remember watching Rocko's Modern Life when I was like 6, and loving it. I never got the jokes but kid me just really liked the surreal stuff in the show. It wasn't until they announced the reboot that I rewatched it, almost 20 years since I last watched it, and realized how much stuff I missed or didn't get as a kid. I'm kind of shocked I was allowed to watch this show at all considering my parents didn't even let me watch Pokemon when I was a kid.
    I can't wait for the reboot. This show is surprisingly relatable and the trailer for the reboot shows that these people know exactly what they're doing.

      Same. I watched Rocko back when I was a kid about... I don't know... late 2000s? Considered that I never get the jokes either (e.g. the 8-ball meatball becomes a bride to Mr. Bighead, Rocko rescuing the bugs from being consumed by Mr. Bighead [again], etc.).

      If you think that's bad, you should see the Rocko "cosplay set" that came in one of the early Nick Boxes. I wear the shirt a lot, but the other piece were socks that were poorly designed, meant to look like Rocko's shoes and legs I guess. They're hideous and I don't understand how you're meant to use them for cosplay since you need to wear, you know, shoes over them.

    It really can't be overstated how much anyone who watched this as a kid should watch it again now. Not for the "adult" jokes, no, but for the riffs on the mundane. I _just had_ my own "filling out hospital forms in pain" experience a few months ago when I passed a kidney stone. The "adult" stuff never got past me as a kid, so it's kinda whatever now. Stuff like the hospital forms, meeting your 20-something friend's weird family, and finding parking spaces at the mall is what makes this show.

    I loved the Baseball episode when Rocko wanted to catch a Foul Ball, they were sitting up on the stadium's light tower.
    And the Cinema episode that was on straight after that with all of those funny movie trailers, funniest one was Dracula: Done To Death movie trailer that implies that the theme of Dracula in Vampire movies has been done so many times that the horror genre needs new ideas. Then came Twilight a decade later.
    There was also the garage sale where a G I Joe toy that was melted in a Microwave could be worth a fortune regardless of how messed up it had become.
    There were so many good episodes that I think the best ones were within its first few seasons.
    Also Spongebob didn't follow the 52 episode rule, it completely smashed it. But I still believe that Rocko's Modern Life was better for it being a 4 season series so therefore it didn't become stale or the creators eventually ran out of ideas such as what happened to Rugrats and Spongebob series.
