Idiot Plot: Despite the glut of new media being a point of satire, nobody mentions to Rocko that he could watch The Fatheads through an online streaming service (especially ironic since the special aired on a streaming service).So if you had the three of them in the Gets in tier of the Area 51 meme inspired by the Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us event, you were right! Hilarious in Hindsight: Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt search for Rachel Bighead and end up asking aliens in Roswell, New Mexico.After all, it wouldnt be Rocko without a Furry Reminder. It was partially based off of the fact that frogs can change their sex. Genius Bonus: Rachel was revealed to be a trans woman.The special did receive less backlash when it premiered properly and it became clearer that the humor wasn't much different from that of the original show.

The show is called "Rocko's Modern Life" for a reason - it's always been a satire of modern suburban life. However, the original show also had its fair share of 1990s references, with episodes about roller rinks and then-modern entertainment systems.

One example is changing Chewey Chicken's name back to "Chokey".

Author's Saving Throw: The special brings back the dirty jokes that were downplayed in the final season.Awesome Music: Courtesy of Pat Irwin, who, somehow, managed to reunite the original musicians from the show, including trombonist Art Baron.
