The Seinfeld of Nicktoons


As far as Seinfeld went in 90s primetime didn't Rocko go as far with 90s Nicktoons - at least with the inappropriate humor - a lot of the time sharing Seinfeld's preoccupation "with nothing?"

Rocko = Jerry
Heffer = Kramer
Philbert = George
Dr. Hutchinson/Mrs. Bighead = Elaine
Mr. Bighead = Newman

Doesn't it make sense? lmao

Well, I guess, that's okay.

Seinfeld was more laid back/irreverent in tone. Rocko's Modern Life is angrier/more intense.

Dr. Hutchinson was more like Elaine than Bev. But would Elaine really marry George?

Yeah, RML doesn't have a counterpart for Elaine. I suppose it would be Hutch if she were a main character.

I would say it's cut from the same cloth as Seinfeld, maybe even influenced by it. A lot of early 90s shows shared its cynicism and fascination with the mundane.
