[edit] Plot

Feeling unwanted by her husband, Bev Bighead invites neighbor Rocko over to "fix a few things around the house." But little does our wallaby hero know of Bev's ulterior motives.

[edit] Notes, Goofs, and Trivia

This episode was eventually banned due to sexual innuendo in paticular adultery (Bev Bighead tries to seduce Rocko) during the show's rerun cycle on Nick, replaced with "Wallaby on Wheels". It is, however, sometimes shown on Nicktoons TV.
This was the first appearance of Ed Bighead.

[edit] Quotes

(Bev has fallen and gotten stuck in the blender. Two flies dressed like Vaudeville actors land near the buttons)

Fat Fly: Hey, Mr. Fly! Where's red and green and spins 200 miles per hour?

Skinny Fly: I don't know, Mr. Fly. What is red and green and spins 200 miles per hour?

(Fat Fly jumps on a button, causing the blender to start spinning Bev inside. When it stops, she's now a pair of eyeballs floating in a green liquid)

Both Flies: YUK-YUK-YUK-YUK-YUK! (both dance off screen as curtain closes)

(Ed walks into his home. Rocko has no shirt on. Bev is handing him a bit of cash. She sees him, and plants a large smooch on him. Rocko steps back.)

Rocko: Uh, er... Mr. Bighead! It's not what you think! I was just (points)... um, and she...

(Rocko begins falling apart, like a Jenga game.)

Ed: (angry) You saw my wife in her bath robe? (disturbed) Isn't it awful?

Bev: (Rocko is screwing in a light bulb.) Rocko, could I interrupt you for a moment? There is a spider on the toilet. Would you mind shooing him out for me?

Rocko: Don't worry, Mrs. Bighead. I'll get rid of him.

(Rocko opens the bathroom door. A rather large spider struggles on the toliet, holding a newspaper. The spider sees Rocko.)

Spider: (Yiddish accent) Hey! Vad is dis, a sideshow?

Ed: (after being hit by Cupid's arrow, singsongy) Oh, Beh-ev.

Bev: Yes, Ed.

Ed: (seriously) We're almost out of mouthwash.

[edit] Plot

In this story, Heffer isn't pulling his weight around the house, so his parents rent his room out. Heffer tries to live in his old treehouse, but after it comes crashing down on him, he decides to move in with Rocko. However, things start to go crazy. Rocko offers Heffer the couch, but the couch decides it doesn't want Heffer's butt in his face, and takes off. Rocko lets Heffer sleep in his bed, but the two don't fit on it together. Rocko ends up sleeping in his drawer and has a lousy night's sleep. Heffer wakes up refreshed, and takes a shower. He sings extremely loudly in the shower and leaves the bathroom a filthy mess, as well as using up all of the hot water. After a couple of days, Heffer begins to take advantage of Rocko's hospitality. He plays loud music while Rocko's away, and even wears his shirts. Later still, Rocko comes home one day to find a bunch of clothes scattered all over the place, and sees Heffer mixing food in his kitchen...naked! Rocko rushes to his backyard, and sees a huge nudist party taking place! Heffer announces that he's decided to become a nudist, and in anger, Rocko throws everyone out, including Heffer. Heffer is upset by the news and is about to leave when his father comes to pick him up, saying they want him home. Heffer apologizes to Rocko for what he did, and the two make up.

[edit] Notes, Goofs, and Trivia

This was the first appearance of Heffer's family.
The name of the band playing at the nudist party in the backyard is called "The Dangles".
Once Rocko fixes the VCR, we see two frogs. One of the frogs, who is a woman, has clearly visible breasts.
Only Rocko's shirt is removed when Rocko enters the nudist party, but in the next scene, his shoes are gone too.

[edit] Quotes

Ed: BEV! Do you have any idea what that weirdo is up to?

Bev: Oh, shut up, Ed, and stop investigating.

Ed: But Bev, they're, well...NUDE!

Bev: (hurrying to the window and looking through the binoculars) Oh, yes, you're right, Ed. It's disgusting! Quick, get the telescope.

Heffer: Man, I this wild dream . . . electric eels were . . . biting my butt!
Heffer: Rocko, living here as allowed me to discover new aspects of my personality. I... am... a... nudest!
