There’s an argument to be made that Rocko’s Modern Life was not for children, but it aired on Nickelodeon in the afternoon, so we watched it. And this is poignant as hell-
R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E Conserve!
Don’t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E.
Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea.
Or else you’re gonna get what you deserve
…I still sing it to myself sadly when I read the news sometimes.
Heffer: (singing) Spring cleaning! Spring cleaning!
Rocko: Heff?
Heffer: Hi, Rocko!
Rocko: Why was everyone singing?
Heffer: We just had a song in our hearts.
Rocko: How is it you all know the words? Did you rehearse?
Heffer: Yeah, every Thursday. Didn’t you see the flyers?

Rocko fought city hall! Rocko fought corporate America! They are big and he is small, Rocko fought city hall.
I also blame this for why my sense of civic duty exists, despite the obviously flawed and ofte. monstrous system I find myself in.

I think it was things like this, honestly, which shaped my sense of humor.
