Notes

add »
Rocko's feet squeak even when he isn't wearing shoes. (edit)
Rocko mentions that he met Dingo in 3rd grade and that he was tortured for 12 years by Dingo, so Rocko must at least be 20 years old. (edit)
Stories made fun of include: Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Pinnochio, Snow White, and The Wizard of Oz. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Rocko: ... Why he never liked me, I'll never know. And Dingo was his name...
Heffer and Filburt: Oh! (edit)
Rocko: If there's anything I've learned from all this, it's that violence isn't going to solve anything, it only makes things worse! And that's why I can't punch you in the nose.
Dingo: Please, Rocko.
Rocko: Okay! (punches Dingo in the nose) (edit)
Dingo: Please accept these turnips as a token of my apologies, and as a symbol of our eternal friendship. Also, this lovely 3-Speed Blenderizer, and Bacon in a Box! But that's not all! Here's five bucks! (edit)
Rocko: For the love of cake, HIDE MEEEEE! (edit)
Heffer as Hansel: Hey, Grandma, those are some big teeth you have.
Filburt's "False" Teeth: All the better to chew up small pint-sized little morsels like you. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Heffer confuses Austria, which is in Europe, with Rocko's actual home country, Australia. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Ralph Bighead: Who's the genius here? If I want mayo, I get mayo!

When Filburt and Heffer are watching TV, before the phone rings, you can hear Ralph Bighead say a line from the "Wacky Delly" episode of Rocko's Modern Life, the very show they appear on. (edit)
Rocko: And Dingo was his name..
Heff and Filb: ..oh.

This is a parody of the nursery-rhyme song Bingo, except they're using Dingo. (edit)
Filburt: Wait!!! I was gonna make Espresso!

This is a most obvious reference to Gene Hackman as Harold the Blind Hermit in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974). Hackman ad libbed that line, incidentally. (edit)
