Now, look, I'm not dissing Rocko's Modern Life here. The show was actually literally so good that the sheer height of its quality standards eventually became a partial cause of its downfall. Although it was not entirely "appropriate" for school and I was (more than) a little pissed off by the animation style (not to mention that the show was a slightly blatant knock-off of Ren & Stimpy at times), time has led me to discover that this show makes even the classic Spongebob look like nearly complete garbage by comparison (in my opinion).

Spongebob was always an incredibly overrated, inane, and painfully childish ripoff of its predecessor Rocko; however, instead of Rocko's incredibly unique, colorful and misunderstood style that catered deliciously to teenagers with its crazy yet often surprisingly true-to-adult-life scenarios and adult humor (not to mention its extremely top-notch writing for a kids' show)...instead, with Spongebob, we got a watered-down and painfully childish imitation with practically zero plot and mediocre jokes that always got turned into memes due to Spongebob's viral and generally undeserved level of popularity.

Due to the fact that Rocko is so often neglected on lists of the best cartoons of all time while the overly long-running and incredibly overrated Spongebob hogs the top spots (seriously, what's Spongebob really so great for other than "YouTube Poop" material?), Rocko is often seen as woefully underrated since so many people never saw it or had the wrong image of it due to the fact that it was clearly aimed at an older audience than the target audience of a proper kids' show and therefore got the shaft due to being what the overly sensitive people of society considered "absolutely unacceptable for their children" (note: this is bullcrap).

However, while Rocko's Modern Life is, indeed, secretly the best Nickelodeon show of all time and one of the greatest shows period...could it also secretly be the most overrated? You can leave regular posts or troll posts below, whichever you prefer.

imamonster : Well, it is the greatest and most criminally underrated series ever aired on Nickelodeon. I'm lucky to have seen it myself...but trust me, it is top-notch and does not rely on nostalgia the way most 90's Nicktoons do. It predated Spongebob by at least five years and easily outdid practically everything Spongebob did in my opinion (except for the fact that Spongebob had a movie and a rock concert). It was often pure genius and had a great message about the troubles of life as an adult, with a style and sense of humor that often catered almost specifically to the observant teenage audience (some bits were so risque that they would probably not be allowed at school). However, when people call Rocko "the show to end all shows", THAT'S when you know it's starting to become slightly overrated.

I think that it was appropriately rated. You take a chance when you make a witty cartoon and  put it on Nickelodeon. Some people may get it and others may not. Also, with a lot of these cartoons from the 90s, people forget how dull they were in their final seasons. Does anyone remember how Rugrats just kept adding babies to keep people entertained?

I have no idea what that is, and I, a huge nick can, so I don't think it's that overrated.

I absolutely loved this show growing up! I'm always watching it on Hulu Plus. Thats right, I still watch it. The only shows I watched growing up was Rocko's Modern Life and Dragon Ball Z. I have no regrets. Occasionally, I'd watch Ren and Stimpy too, only because it was my brother's favorite show. Nickelodeon probably went through its best times in the mid 90s. I wish those shows still aired on a regular basis. I would watch them forever.

If anything, this show was underrated, in my opinion. The most overrated show back then was probably Ren and Stimpy. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy...man I hated that song...
