[edit] Notes, Goofs, and Trivia

  • The Title of Carnival Knowledge is a pun on the word carnal knowledge.
  • Reruns of the show on Nickelodeon would usually air this as the first episode of the series, when it actually was not ("No Pain, No Gain" was the first, and "A Sucker for the Suck-o-Matic" was originally meant to be the first episode to air).
  • The "Elevator to Hell" is the opposite of the "Stairway to Heaven."
  • In Carnival Knowledge, the Merry-Go-Round operator is reading a magazine titled Playslug, a spoof of Playboy.
  • When Nick used to show Rocko in reruns, it aired this one very rarely, because it had the word "Hell" in it. A similar premise occured in a Hey Arnold episode (entitled "On the Lam") when Sid and Stinky and Harold used a bottle labeled "Jackass Hot Sauce.")

[edit] Quotes

  • (After riding the roller coaster)
Rocko: Let's go Heffer. I think I'm bleeding internally.
Heffer: Okay, we'll come back tomorrow!
